I feel like this seems fairly reasonable. Having seen both sides (as a former GR CM who dealt with many, many GAC cards) and as someone now living with MS, feel like these changes would solve a good number of the issues that keep coming up. For example, with MS I struggle daily with cognitive...

The problem with that thinking is that guests with disabilities, visible or not, really do take much longer to do all the same things that "everyone else" is doing. Traveling to and from parks, in between attractions, getting on and off rides, eating, using restrooms... And on having to stop for...

I hesitate to jump in to the conversation at this point, since I'm pretty sure we've all made up out minds already, but reading the last few pages tonight has made me sad (for lack of a better word). I think many "non-disabled" posters are missing the point that Steamboat Wil made so well (I...

I still haven't managed to sort out my own feelings on this whole issue, but I will say this: It is not hard at all to find the drunk people at other parks, especially Epcot. I have seen plenty of them, in various degrees of poor behavior. I have, on less than a handful of occasions, even BEEN...

I'm a little biased (I work with birds, though not to the extent that the people at FoW do...SO envious.), but the show really is fantastic. Even if you aren't a fan of birds, or stage shows, or educational opportunities :p, it's still very entertaining. Amazing to watch, really. The animals are...

Wow, Billy6, that's quite a story. How scary. I'm so glad it worked out for your family! I have similar stories, but they are not close family/friends. I also have knowledge of quite a few others just from having worked at the parks. It happens. It's awful, and I don't ever WANT it to happen...

This happens much more frequently than most guests realize (or probably want to think about). WDW is pretty much it's own city, with a large, constantly changing population. Death is a part of life. As long as it is due to natural causes or "normal" accident it is usually not even mentioned in...

No, it doesn't. The article says they've been searching for her since Tuesday (after she didn't report for her shift), and that the ship docked in Mexico on Wednesday. So, unless she never got on the ship (and didn't have to work until Tues., which is unlikely), she went missing while they were...

Unfortunately, my experience with DFW proves this point to be exactly right. I have never been less happy with any service received by Disney than I was with the way my wedding was handled. They don't go "above and beyond" on the weddings because they don't have to, and it shows. I can't imagine...

I'll chime in with Tambu and Tune-in Lounge, but I'm surprised that there's no love here for Crocket's Tavern at FW. We make sure to get to FW at least an hour early so we can have a drink or two before we go to the Hoop. It's very..uh, rustic, to say the least. Some of the bartenders are...

I really don't see how not lighting the lights on the castle is any different than canceling a parade or show due to weather or not having an attraction open due to technical difficulties. In every case, Disney is not operating an attraction that they've promoted as being open. This is exactly...

Ew. No. And I ~love~ P&F.

Is it wrong that I am completely weirded out about them blatantly talking about the person inside the Mickey costume? Don't get me wrong - I think it's a cool story, and I never realized that the same person played Mickey in all those pictures. And WDCo. was careful not to say what he did...

To be fair, the current kennels are all (most?) right on or near the parking lots at the parks. The one at the TTC is pretty close to a road, too, iirc. Likewise, the vets/kennels I've been to at home are all off of busy roads. That's what leashes are for. :)

It really didn't bother me. It's a short spot and it's edited with such fast cuts, plus it's so cartoony and cheesey...I dunno. I don't know how the average guest would recognize that those are the wrong rides or parks. Heck, I worked at WDW and I didn't realize some of it was wrong. No one had...

Oh, that is just heartbreaking. It's really tough to transport adult giraffes, mainly because this situation is a big possibility. They're so big but so delicate at the same time. Ugh. I just feel awful for the staffs at DAK and Dickerson Park - that's a rough situation to deal with.

This cannot be said enough. I want to wear Disney stuff, especially from the parks, but I don't want to look like a tourist. There are some great shirts at Everest that are really pretty and girly, and most people have to have the "Everest" part pointed out to them. I get a lot of compliments...

Lol - My first thought was "How did Vanessa Hudgens get herself banned from Epcot?". Then, once I read through a few posts, I thought "Oh, her? She's still performing?". I honestly had no idea anyone still cared about her. I have no sympathy for her. :shrug: Look, I swear like a sailor...

While I am often the one to throw the "Size of a small city..death happens" side of the argument into a conversation, I think these deaths ARE a bit shocking. We're not talking about natural deaths (heart attacks, illnesses, etc) or traffic accidents. And we're not talking about some of the...

I agree. None of us should have a sense of humor about anything. Cartoon mice are serious business. :shrug:
