My wife and I will not likely be going as some conditions of my employment now restrict it (cruise ships, amusement parks, movie theatres, etc...). My wife is also on immunosuppresents for treating her MS, which in my mind makes it a no go for us even if we were permitted. Some of the rules...

The probability models live on assumptions until data can give better projections. Given the poor value of the data collected throughout most of the world when this started, the assumptions probably skewed a little higher as the fatality percentage of tested cases would have been higher. This...

Agreed I like the old Dylan line "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows" All of NY closed All of California closed All pro sports paused of cancelled All domestic Disney properties closed All Las Vegas casinos closed regardless of where the information is coming from...

This sequester that we have to do at work is interesting. We moved in to the control center site in trailers and basically just work every other day (we rotate 12's so every day is generally not allowed). My building is straight midnights, that is not expected to change. It hasn't been awful...

I don't mean in any way to sound over-dramatic, but has anybody really considered the extreme long term effect coming from this? Having lived through the AIDS crisis in the early eighties into the nineties, there were several businesses that showed much higher risk of transmission and...

It would be interesting but given the asymptomatic spread I'm not sure it actually helps anything. I'm an electric grid operator in NY and I've been living in our control room for about 2 weeks so far. We still take temps every day but were also tested for COVID prior to being locked in. They...

I can't confirm the photopass price, but my wife and I had breakfast there earlier this month and can confirm it is all four characters (Mickey, Pluto, Lilo, Stitch). If I am remembering correctly the Pluto photo was in the waiting area after you checked in while waiting for a table to open up...

To answer your question, The EZpass will cover the Northeast parts of the trip, and the route you are taking requires no tolls in FLA. FWIW, my wife and I used to do this trip pretty routinely from Albany, NY, you may want to consider taking I81 south and taking it to I77 south. The worst...

We have driven from Saratoga Springs NY many times. Our normal stop on the first day was in Savannah Ga right off I-95. It is about 4-5 hours from this point to Orlando and is a decent stop off. We also have been to Myrtle Beach as part of the trip many times as we have family that lives...

I was having a little trouble buying the construction story since the announcement, however seeing the new resort that was announced today it makes more sense. Based on the description of the location and layout, the resort would cut a good portion of the start and finish area out...

I think this is one of those chicken/egg type questions. Would the counties be worse off with no Disney Parks? Without question. Could disney be doing more to benefit the local area? Most likely. Going back to the eighties I can only recall what seems like a pretty good relationship...

I agree the format was good, and I personally enjoyed it, I just understand why it has to change. I keep trying to put myself back into the world of 1975 when much of this was designed and developed and I think the rate at which the world changed gets way too little credit in outdating the...

I mean no disrespect with my below commentary because I consider myself kind of in the middle of this argument, but I don't see the original purpose of the park as ever being effective in the long term. From all I understand about the design and purpose attempting to be a permanent worlds fair...

My wife and I were extremely interested in purchasing a contract as we love the resort, but we were kind of turned off by the fact that home resort priority only applies to half the property (the existing villas are considered a completely different resort). While I understand why, it was a...

It's also kind of like a senior discount, when my wife and I tried to use it 2 weeks ago, the prime dining window between 6:30 and 8:30 could not be discounted. I think they may just be trying to drive some traffic into those places (Turf Club and Olivia's are seldom very busy, the resorts by...

I saw it from behind the construction wall while running on the path between poly and gf about a week and a half ago. I thought it was pretty subtle and tasteful.

I was hoping to not put it like that exactly You would probably have to admit that when in the park, if not for long lines at the signature attractions there is typically not much demand for the smaller ones (SSE, Living with the Land, UOE, Imagination). With that it seems that much of this is...

I've read the book many times, as well as the other books regarding progress city and the Disney participation in the 64 fair as well as Expo 67 in Montreal. I think the biggest problem that this park was going to have, regardless of how much updating was done, is that the people in 2017 (or...

You are correct, at 3AM sometimes my memory gets foggy :-)

The nostalgic part of me really doesn't care for this change, but the realistic part of me is kind of relieved they are actually doing something with the building. I used to fall on the side of the original concept of a "world's fair" theme in the park which represented advances in technology...
