Looks like our re-booking saga is coming out alright. We were scheduled to arrive at MCO Mon afternoon and had a 14 day stay at Pop all set. Cancelled Fri evening (airline cancelled our flight Wed last week) and rebooked the flight, then worked on the room. So, pushed things back 4 days. Since...

From my observations, that is time dependent and is driven by whether the bus is returning to the same resort. During the morning surge, buses deadhead back to a resort and presumably are routed to where they are needed. Once you hit 10:00 or 10:30 AM, you see buses that are returning to the...

Just got this via email from Norton Security: " What is Happening? Earl Enterprises, which manages popular restaurant brands including Buca di Beppo, Planet Hollywood, Earl of Sandwich, Chicken Guy!, Mixology, and Tequila Taqueria, announced that nearly 100 restaurant locations around the...

I wonder why the other gondolas shown in that clip are not oscillating near as much (if at all).

We are very much looking forward to using the Skyliner (we really enjoy staying at Pop). Something we think will really improve our transportation experience is the consistency and predictability the Skyliner will bring. One of the irksome things about using buses is that when you arrive at a...

I think the performance of steel rope is well understood. As to ambient conditions, steel rope is used in the same environment as WDW in many critical applications: suspension bridges, cranes, guy wires, etc.

Our main point about the new show was that the birds didn't seem ready for show (from a training/performing aspect). We saw it once in Sep '18, but did not repeat it on our Nov '18 trip.

We've visited WDW 3 times in the past 12 months (Dec '17, 'Sep 18, Nov '18). We've seen much more Figment merch this year than the three previous years. I picked up a Figment F&W tee in Sep this year, too.

You do know Hollywood Records is owned by Disney. And that Queen signed with them in 1990. And that Hollywood Records has exclusive distribution rights for Queen's entire catalog in North America. And two albums were released with that label. You did know all that already, right? Good thing...

And the tire drives are almost entirely enclosed, aren't they?

The crane was deployed week at least by the week of Labor Day. I don't mind seeing it parked behind the Castle. What I did mind was that shuts down the path from the Castle to the Wishing Well, closing a nice short cut.

Well, there's quite a few announcements of casting for shows being produced for the new streaming service...

You can see a stairway going up through the ceiling. There's your maintenance access. If you look at bioreconstruct's overheads from mid-May (before the roof is put on), you can see the maintenance catwalks, styles (steps over the cable way), and safety railings. There seem to be both inboard...

"Per person" includes children. 180 strikes me as a reasonable figure.

I am guessing which lounges you visit depends on lounge schedules. We did this tour in early Dec 2017 and visited the VIP lounges in Mission: Space and at the Coral Reef restaurant. We also used the VIP entrance/route for riding Test Track.

Even simpler would be a big red fuel cutoff button at the operator's station with a manual ball valve (closed with a quarter turn of a lever handle) as a backup. The electric valve should be one that remains open only when there is electric power flowing. The backup is in case the electric valve...

What I meant was, my points are my speculation.

This is speculation. 1. Some people will refuse to use the Skyliner, owing to being uncomfortable with heights, etc. I can't imagine WDW limiting transportation to EP and DHS to just the Skyliner. 2. Bus routing seems to be dynamic. WDW wants to get as many people to the parks as quickly as...

I think I see some significant operations challenges with Site A (bus drop off lot to monorail station and beyond to current tapstyle line). 1. A lot of that ground area is needed to move guests on foot from bus lot and parking lot to the security zone. 2. Ground area is needed for the...
