I couldn't find this posted but if so, will the Mods please delete. From O'Sentinel Sandra Pedicini this afternoon. Pertinent parts of the article: "Work on four major road projects at Walt Disney World - including an overpass over the Magic Kingdom parking toll plaza - should be complete by...

First 2 Paragraphs and a link to the full article and short video. Moderately interesting I'd say, though the finished products could be more so. From today's (4/17) O'Sentinel by Dewayne Bevil: Documentaries look at Disney fans, traditional or edgy "Two upcoming documentary films explore...

Not trying to invent something new to worry about - just looking for some thoughts on this project and whether it might impact any sightlines at DAK. From yesterday in the Orlando Biz Journal by Anjali Fluker: New $3.3B vacation village coming soon near Disney "An “ambitious” 87-acre luxury...

Bathing suit - check. Sandals - check. Tickets - check. Brain? Nope - left it at home in the jar. At Epcot this evening having a bite to eat outside at the America pavillion. Young mother, 30 something, shows up with two kids. Puts her purse on one chair, the boy in another chair, the...

Did a search, didn't see. Today's O'Sentinel, first few paragraphs. "Walt Disney World is fighting two discrimination lawsuits from security workers, and several other employees in that division have made similar complaints during the last few years. Disney World has more than 1,000 security...

I finally managed to misplace my phone a few days ago at Epcot. I left it sitting on the wall of a planter in the AA courtyard. I noticed it was missing about ten minutes later and immediately had my wife call my number to see if we could track it down. Isn't that what most everyone would do...

Of the birds - specifically the Disney Ducks. And I don't mean Donald, et. al. Last night, America Gardens Theater, a full house in the middle of the Guess Who's second set. A pair of ducks flew into the theater and landed. The male landed in the left hand aisle. The female in the center...

Met some friends at Yacht today and walked over to Epcot. Very empty parking lots at Yacht and Beach. Epcot crowd was very unimpressive compared to two days ago. Looked to me like a day in late April/early May. Got my picture taken at IG because as usual the bio scan didn't work. Surprised...

I didn't see this posted, but if it is let me know and I'll delete this. Guess I'm putting this in the News forum because this article is on Page 1 of today's O'Sentinel - Sandra Pedicini. Headline and 3 sub-heads: "Disney College Program lures thousands of workers" Many Disney...

So you can now walk from any Epcot resort and not encounter a bench until you get to the UK or France. All the benches inside IG have been removed and you'll see the smokers sitting on the sidewalk and little kids lying on the ground. Ok, I thought maybe these were moved to accommodate more...

As of today - September 30 - there is a new record for the number of rain days in September - a total of 23. The old record of 22 was set exactly 100 years ago in 1914. Generally - these rains have not been the one hour or half hour variety. This has been half day or all day or all night...

We noticed last week that the Golden Dream is gone. Anyone know its whereabouts? Did it sink again or just off for refurbing?

Maybe someone else knows more than I do, but I don't know what this is about or where this is. But if you have 5 hours to spare, there might be a nugget or two of interest. "The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) will webcast an Investor Day at ESPN on Thursday, April 17, 2014. Presentations are...

This info belongs mostly in the rumor category but I'm posting it because I'm giving it some credibility as I'll explain. First - what I know to be true. There's a big ugly dude back in the Komodo dragon habitat but he's on loan from somewhere in Miami so he's a short timer. Disney has...

This won't matter to most people here but it will to those who attend concerts at America Gardens Theater - especially when it's hot. Blessed shade is on the way. WDW has planted 24 new Sycamore trees in the theater and they're not small ones. As you can see from the (really crappy) picture...
