    POC, something I never notice before

    There is a piston that is timed to hit the sign around the same time as the sound effect. If you look at it, there is a divot right in the center which is where it hits from behind. Maintenance is probably the culprit. For a while, the water that shoots out of the well when he drops down...

    BREAKING: Disney, Largest Union Reach Agreement

    So they're offering the same contract as last time, but instead of $100 to vote for the contract, they're just adding it to the regular bonus? This is terrible. I hope it gets voted down.

    Constant Fast Pass

    I don't believe there is a corporate pass. The only thing like that would be if you are an employee of the company that sponsors an attraction, they have a special entrance. That usually is separate from the normal entrance. There is such a pass that allows unlimited use of FastPass entrances...

    Why were we asked if we were staying for the Christmas Party?

    Restaurant managers are required to inform the Duty Manager when their restaurant is clear of non-event guests for the evening. He was probably making a note of your table number to make it easier when it comes time.

    New DVC Resort

    5 diamonds has been attempted, but never achieved. Being a family resort kind of hinders the ability to reach 5. This site has some information about the award criteria and a list of locations.

    Interesting post on Gizmodo about why some of EPCOT's pavement is red in the park

    Pink is also easier on the eyes than bare concrete in the bright Florida sun and doesn't retain heat as much as black.

    New Magic Kingdom Capacity?

    This. It is not published. Buildings do have official capacities, but just like Phil said, it's the number of buildings, attractions, shops, pathways, restaurants, bathrooms are open as well as the total staffing of CMs that can support that number. It fluctuates all the time. Whoever told...

    Longest Wait Time for a Ride?

    I have seen BOTH Soarin and Test Track at over 300 minutes. Then there was the time we had fun at the jungle cruise and got the wait time to display at 600 minutes.

    More "your problem" attitude from CMs on today's system upgrade.

    Wow, that's unacceptable. The least they could do is waive any overages in your favor. With all the people who have meals left over at the end of their stay, it should all balance out anyway.

    This "system upgrade" is starting to tick me off

    And there is one more from Dec 14-15. So I can't really add much more to the discussion. OP, PLEASE enjoy the rest of your vacation. It sucks, and I know that. You'll have to spend some more time in line, but you will get through it. WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN! Every interaction with a CM, how...

    This "system upgrade" is starting to tick me off

    There is no option for a back out in this case. This system has been in development for 10 years and has been running in a test environment for at least 5. User acceptance has already happened and happens again with each roll out. Of course they don't. A lot of time has been put into this...

    This "system upgrade" is starting to tick me off

    Not to sound like a jerk, but unless your job handles 20+ resorts, 20,000+ rooms, multiple departments, and millions of transactions a day, you can't compare them. This new system was completely built by Disney so any technology that was existing had to be completely removed from the servers...

    This "system upgrade" is starting to tick me off

    Apparently, there is more to the story than you stated in your original post. From what I've heard, charging to the Dining Plans was not interrupted during the downtime. Charging to the room account may have, but everyone I talked to had no problems. You said you have been paying out of...

    This "system upgrade" is starting to tick me off

    There is a contingency plan. Save your receipts. There's not much else that can be done when the main server that charges things is offline. Everything will get credited. Just chill out and enjoy your vacation. :)

    Is the Disney Florist the only way to get a tree for the room?

    Here is the flier that will be available in Disney resorts for the holidays. The cheapest tree available through the florist is $169.

    Refurbishment leader?

    Boiler inspections are required every year by law. They have to open up the boiler and take a look inside which takes a lot of time and can't be done whenever they want. The trains are easy as there are more than one so they just take out the one for service.
