    The Decay of River Country

    Yep it was nothing more then lake water. Nothing wrong with that. You use to swim in the lakes from the beach of each of the hotels. I don't think you are allowed anymore but it was very common back in the day. The water was actually pretty clean, the only reason it has that color is from the...

    River Country

    Don't sweat it, it is nice to see what people have to say and if they don't want to comment then they can ignore the thread.

    Sentinel: Monorail crash: Disney did not follow manual

    Sure there are tons of cheap WiFi cameras out there now a days. No wiring necessary only a power connection. The old mark 4s had a prism spyglass on the top of the train that would act as a rear view mirror i doubt something similar is not on the mark 6s. I would also love to get a copy of...

    10 days and counting

    Not really, from past experiences make use of the extra morning hours. We found the extra night hour were useless. Stay out of the parks on the holidays, they are over packed and if you have small childern, imho they can be dangerous. The parks will close by noon but be aware that really...

    My WDW Monorail Christmas display

    I love the train. How is it holding up? I had heard that the train and monorail have some very serious quality issues. I wanted to pick up the train this xmas trip (4 days from now).

    Spotted at Hollywood Studios -- Whose or Who's?

    :shrug: that is what happens when the printers don't speak English. Likely was not even designed in the US.

    Why isn't there more major sponsors in EPCOT?

    IMHO it is a combination of companies not having a future vision plus Disney has to put up with these companies once they sponsor. It may not be worth it for Disney to tolerate the demands the companies may make. We saw this with Pleasure Island. When it was unsponsored they had a wide...

    Bad Guest Behavior and Disney's reactions to it...

    Fast forward 50 years, son screaming at his father, "I paid $15,000 to get you into this nursing home you are damn well going to have fun or we're moving you to the one next to the ship yard....". :D You really are a product of your environment.

    Bad Guest Behavior and Disney's reactions to it...

    Too late, because it is not a perception of Disney but an overall general decay of morals and manners. I remember a news report i watched about police work in the 20s. The officer would arrest the person and then walk them to a phone to call for a car to take them back. The person would...

    Fort Wilderness Loop question

    Naw, the golf card is not a must. The buses come very often plus you can walk anywhere quickly is you like. Fort Wilderness may seem large but in reality if you walk diagonally you can walk anywhere quickly. Below is a link to a map of FW so you can see where each loop is...

    My Disney find at Wallyworld!!

    Walmart is like that, sometimes they have some very cool things. For a while they carried Disney ties but not anymore. I would check each Walmart to see what they had, ended up with about a dozen different Disney ties for work.

    Must have "Get through the Parks" Item/Tool

    This is actually a good one. I take breakfast bars. I tend to run out of energy, a bar every once in a while and i can go forever....plus munching every once and a while keeps me relaxed. The only real must have is a good hat to keep the sun off the head. Sunstroke is a real problem, even in...

    Super Walmart Center

    Go to the one on vineland. It is an easy drive and only about 10min away. You can also get slightly cheaper Disney tickets if they are needed. It is a big store so they do have everything. We do the same, the check in and then make a run to Walmart to stock up (great prices on beer).
