    Disneyland and Disney World lay off 28,000 employees amid pandemic struggles - OCR/SCNG

    1) The ONLY good thing about these layoffs is that many, many lousy mangers have been let go. 2) Hopefully WDW will see they were never required in such a quantity. . . . WDW is so overloaded and bloated with inept managers and management. . . . It would be nice if, after COVID, they cut the...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE RICH GET GONE. Too bad he couldn't have left MUCH, MUCH earlier. At one time, I though Eisner's second ten years was a pain. After Ogre (oops, I mean Iger), Eisner seems like a saint.

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    Rivers of Light closing

    I visited during the employee preview and was greatly disappointed that things were not working. The project was woefully behind schedule, and they rushed to get it open and satisfy complaints of guests and critics. It was a good idea, but poorly implemented. The floating lights never worked...

    Disneyworld maintenance is a joke

    1) WDW has been trimming the Maintenance staff over the past couple of years. 2) According to my dear friend, in Maint, there are not enough to cover basic even Preventive Maint. 3) This causes major breakdowns, since the equip just gets worn out (sometimes just due to no grease/oil). 4) When...

    College Program Help

    1) They told CPs and ICPs to GET OUT of housing by 11:00am Wednesday. 2) That is it (in my opinion, pretty rude)! 3) For ICPs, they said they would work with them on an individual basis "as needed". 4) Om the Cast Member Facebook site, we are offering up to three CP/ICP FREE housing at our...

    1) We own two Spring weeks at Orange lake, and are quite satisfied. 2) But, we use one week for family and usually trade the other week. 3) As a resort, OLCC is tough to beat. 4) But, do not let them get you into a sales or "info" presentation. 5) They have taken high pressure to an Art...

    If staying at Wilderness Lodge Villas....

    1) Member Services would have to do this, not the resort. 2) Neither Front Desk nor Concierge Desk controls DVC points rooms. 3) And, only the member can contact MS to check on availability. 4) Plus, upgrading would take points and not cash, as they do not intermix.
