It's not necessarily 'short term thinking', it's just not for everyone. In our case, because of some medical needs and the fact that I travel a lot and HATE to stand in line to eat three meals a day, it works. For others, it won't.:shrug:

Understand: Disney offers discounts for THEIR benefit...nobody probably cares whether YOUR vacation is affordable or not. Face it: Their projections are pretty accurate. If data shows more people coming and spending more money, they can offer fewer discounts and make more money per room. The...

We have always asked to stay on the top floor with the entrance overlook. Not the greatest view, but you can see most of the Epcot fireworks from your balcony and it's the fewest amount of points to use. Oh, and you also want to stay about halfway down the corridor. My kids also used to...

Only a couple SMALL holes in your arguement for WDW to get more/new monorails: 1) the drawing you show is a PROPOSED station...not yet built. True, it's under construction, but let's see the finished project. You would probably dump in your drawers if disney started then not finished a...

The key difference would have to be the hydraulics in the wave pool. The piston action probably is on bearings or slides. This would be a big job to take the gates out, remove the slides/bearings, replace slides/bearings, align slides/bearings, replace gates. Might take a while to fill that...

I must just be jerk then. The few times I have had unacceptable conditions in a room, I 1. Call the front desk. If they aren't fast enough, I 2) Go to the Front Desk and ask to speak to the manager. We always try to get things taken care of UPFRONT! The manager can't inspect every room...

Or maybe it's all a set-up for a soon to be made movie?:kiss:

Again, you are mistaken. The FIRE WALL does not protect from fire. There are no burn standards that must be meant. It is called that because it USED to keep fire out of the passenger cabins...mostly in cars built before 1940. The coatings are only required to not burn and cause noxious...

Obviously, having only an engineering degree, I am not as much of an expert as some of the negative posters. Let's see: Bus fires: Yeah, they happen. Engines are not infallible and even timely maintenance cannot and will not prevent breakdowns. Sorry, tinkerbell is not a mechanic. They do...

They need to have another price increase and then get rid of the free dining. That will help keep some of the low class people out.

Pool hopping was one of the key features that convinced me to buy DVC. My wife and I were swimmers and always loved different pools. Glad they check ID's though. Too many cheap people trying to upgrade their vacation at my expense.:eek:

Shucks! And I was just thinking how we could use another government project that would require the annual investment of billions of dollars....money that us peons could waste on vacations.

The bouncing and swaying is the suspension in the monorails, not the stress on the beam. The speed would not affect the beam, UNLESS it corresponded with whatever resonant frequency that each beam has. Thus, highly unlikey the beams cannot handle the speed. NOW, the tires blowing out...

Guess you've proved that anybody with an opinion, a rumor and some nice pictures can post a topic. BTW, many of WDW attractions have changed.....if they were so great before, there would have been more riders/patrons (ie Horizons). Nobody likes change but winners embrace it. :sohappy:

Called for? Why not? this USED to be a free country, but i'll check with YOU from now on, your PC highness.:fork: And it seemed to me, that the crowds at universal were a little on the lower end of the social-economic scale. The kind that would steal from you. Kind of like at six flags or...

Let me translate for Schmoltz: "Hi! I'm special! I paid SO MUCH for my WDW trip that it's beneath me to pay for a ticketed event, like you ignoramouses did! Besides, ALL I want to do is just see a little parade and a few fireworks. I'm only STEALING a little! Do you think the mean people...

What did you expect? Cheap AND first class service? Pick a lane buddy. And the topper: You got screwed before YET you went back!!1 You must LOVE being walked on. Next time, pay for top service.:lol:

Don't they all? My MIL was able to board them all.:shrug:

Actually, I remeber 1976 when the Contemporary was about 95-120 dollars a night and the HoJo off 192 was about 25 dollars a night. (we stayed HOJO) Hah! Of course, the MK was the only park and we were bored. Went two days and the only coaster was Space Mountain.

someone had better post a sign that tells this geriatric: "WARNING! Old age is a leading cause of death!"
