    Moving to Florida for many reasons

    i live in Oviedo and like it. It's close to my F/T job and I feel safe there (even before living in the gated community I bought into in March. I am 30 miles to my p/t job at Downtown Disney. I have to disagree with the DVM fees previously quoted. We don't have state inspections here...

    Disney Professional seeking advice

    My advice is to do what I did - rent for awhile and find the place that you want to live in - good school district, close to work, etc. While i only work over there twice a week, I just bought a house that is 3 miles away from my F/T job.

    Severe Weather March 30th, 2011

    I don't know if it was near WDw, but I think they are going to investigate something. They showed this HUGE tree that was uprooted and fell on a house, but I didn't catch where it was - Winter Park maybe?

    WEATHER ALERT FOR WDW; MARCH 30th 2011

    We are under a tornado watch until 1pm, and already I have had 3 co-workers call me to see if I am in work. Yes, I am here, where are you? they are waiting for it to calm down a bit before heading out (I live the closest at 4 miles away). I have to drive to St cloud at 3:30, so I hope it...

    Question About Disney Collection

    I've stayed at all 3, and if you are forced to pick between DLH and PP, pick DLH. Goofy's Kitchen has a great breakfast! Hope you get GCH, though. I enjoyed my stay (on points) at the hotel in 2008. Granted, I stayed in a regular room, as they were building the villias at that time.

    Why is There No Availability?!

    I hear ya, OP. In June, I booked BLT (not my home resort) and was only able to get a studio for Saturday night. I have 2 different waitlists for Friday night, but they have not come thru yet. I don't car what kind of studio I get, as long as I get one. I'm local, so if I don't get Friday...

    I work at the disney store and it's not all magic and pixie dust

    um, it's Tokyo Disneyland, not HKDL, that's exempt from your comp passes. My advice to you is to have an ASM present with your meeting with the SM.

    Star Wars creator George Lucas visits Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I have to agree with you on IJ4. I went to the SW Celebration V on Saturday and saw the interview. He did basically comment about how mostly people who grew up with the original series (like me) loved the original and hated the prequels. I don't "hate" them - the best thing about #1 is Darth...

    cheapest transport

    Huh??? Yes, taking the train is more expensive than the bus, but it sure doesn't take longer. I took the train into work every day for 4 years when I lived in Philadelphia and later in a near suburb. I didn't do it because it was "novel" nor did all the other commuters who rode with me!

    Captain EO Soft Open To Public Today

    good point, thrill seeker. I never saw this show in the past, as it was during a period when I didn't come down every summer :brick:(grandparents came home instead). The theater was about 2/3rd full and there was a big cheer when the show started, when MJ came on and when the show ended. I'm...

    Weather for WDW Half Marathon?

    I agree about the cold weather we had this year. My uncle did Goofy's Challenge (any of you who ran this year might have seen him speaking at the Milkhouse, as Gary is a Sr. VP at CIGNA, who is the sponsor) and he was so cold, epecially on Sunday. He had those hand warmer things in his gloves...

    Walkable to DTD

    I agree. and while there are several on 535, but at that point I'd say you are at least looking at a mile walk. The hotels on HPBlvd are holiday Inn, Hilton, Royal Palm (I'm pretty sure it's not palace...), Best Western LBV....I can't remember the name of the one on the corner, it changed a...

    DVC and Disneyland

    I have used my points at DL. It's not the greatest way to use them, but it is doable. I used mine to stay at the Grand Calif. in Feb 2008, before the addition of the villias there. I wouldn't have been able to afford the cash rate, even at a discount.

    Moving to Florida??

    I moved here from Philly in 2004 (just in time for 3 hurricanes in 6 weeks). I agree with the advice of renting before buying. I made the mistake of renting an apt about a mile from Universal - so going to the McDonalds 1/2 block away was not smart! The price for a cheeseburger & med. fries...

    TTA Audio Alterations

    i rode TTA on Friday and the "Mr. Tom Morrow" part is there, but it's in a different place (in space Mtn) and a different spiel (no more "party from Saturn" to give a ring). I have to say that this time i sat in the last car and the sound was good. I think I was able to hear all pieces...

    DVC Webcast

    I was thinking that they were going to talk more about these, plus swap outs that we can do....I kept waiting, and I guess the big surprise (if you want to call it that) was the incentives they discussed at the end (which seemed to be only for BLT, but it's been reported for the other currently...

    Seasonal employment, one week a year?

    When I transferred, it was 2 days of full availablity; now it's 3. So I work 5 days a week at my f/t job, and 2 days a week at my p/t job. My p/t job will schedule me anywhere between a 6 hour shift to an 8 hour shift, each day.
