This is very disappointing, and that's coming from a soccer fan. Soccer merchandise is pretty uniform (pun intended)--any shirts or other merchandise are readily available online. Hoypoloi was a fairly unique and interesting store. My wife will miss it dearly--she always found something fun...

**Obligatory reminder to keep the gloves up here. Posts on this topic have gotten ugly in the past, respect others' opinions and recognize the emotional nature of this topic, especially for those who have a family member or loved one afflicted by this terrible disease.**

Discrimination allegations can sometimes be subject to different legal process than other types of cases. Here in my home state, for example, most claims of discrimination must first go through the state's civil rights commission. If you don't like the outcome you get from the administrative...

On a COMPLETELY related topic, John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" segment on Patent Trolls [looking at you, InCom] is excellent and free to view on Last Week Tonight's YouTube channel.

Excellent hair-splitting. Acceptance = pro TWDC = Disney This is how I got to the term "Pro-Disney". I'm not saying that everyone who agrees with "the current policies, actions, procedures, and all other behaviors of the Walt Disney Company, its subsidiaries, assigns, partnerships, etc." is...

Anyone else remember a time on these forums when this topic would have simply yielded a discussion speculating whether Schrager's involvement would be Disney or not, and what theme or location or restaurants or whatever such hotel would feature? Sadly this, like many forum posts of any...

Today is National Beer Day, apparently. Would seem a good day for such an event.

This is a very savvy move by WDW. Pretty safe bet that this club will grow into something big, especially with a HUGE soccer name in Kaka being a big part of the club. Very interested to see where this goes.

Our extended family of 14 that travels to WDW every year or so has a wide range of ages, preferences, favorites, etc. Some people love rides that others in the family despise. There are several attractions that are generally favorable, and some generally unfavorable. But the one question that...

I was at WDW earlier this month with a group of 13--we always had at least 5-6 separate checks, and every meal at least two of our party had what the OP described happen. The server would try to scan a band, it would not work, they would walk away and come back, and then *poof*, no PIN needed...

Ah, the dreaded "Boma Boom".

Y&Y is just OK to me. Pizzafari needs to be replaced, it is quite dull. Restaurantosaurus is actually quite well-themed in my mind (and allows for free refills of fountain soda) but the food is predictable. I did also enjoy Tusker House before it became a full service inferior clone to Boma...

I really do like the food, I think it's hard to find much better QS than those ribs. And I love the seating maze too--always shocked me that more people didn't find their way down to the waterfront covered seating. I can understand the desire to use that area more for the upcoming nighttime...

Keeping a park (or an area of a park) open past closing for a special event is outstanding. Wins all around. Extra hours ($$) for the wage CMs, revenue for the company, really cool experience for the guests (having both worked and been a part of one in the past!) But I agree that an early...

When will they come up with driveDisney, for those of us who detest running? I'd love to drive my sensibly-sized and priced Terrain through WDW Parks. Actually, if not for the pollutants and potential for gators, a swimDisney event would be very interesting to me. Start at the Illuminations...

Yes, but as has been noted, it is not the law in Florida. When given the choice, I choose hands free gas pumping method. Sounds like I don't have to mess with that anymore, as Hess has entered a bold new era. I employ similar selectivity when getting gas in my hometown. Every station has the...

I know this is the epitome of first world problems, but I always avoid Hess stations because they all seem to lack the little ridged plate in the gas pump that lets you lock in the trigger while you wash your windows, make faces at your car's occupants, etc. Is it petty? For sure. But I just...

Sort of. Sans companion...
