Important to recognize that taking Ron out of the Florida picture when/if he announces a Presidential run, does not alter the fact that a lot of the policies that are "unappealing" to Disney and other investors are grounded within the Florida legislative bodies. His departure for a national...

There is "talent", and then there are people who have graduated. If you have already recruited proven talent, why would you want to cut ties when they don't want to relocate to what they may perceive as a regressive, backward-looking locality. And why would you think it beneficial to hire...

What is factually incorrect?

Oh, for heavens sake, stop dismissing people who don't bow down to you as less than. We can all express our views here and expect people to respond to the content, not your "I am a God, and you can't disagree with me", complex. You may post a lot but you are not the ultimate oracle or the 500...

That's great. I mean, you know that the wording for the Cabins is going to make it plain that "all resort owners are in it together" and a wipeout of your ownership cabin is the responsibility of all dvc owners at the Cabins. Great. Can't wait to see the wording in the contract.

I may be wrong, but when I got my DVC contracts, I believe they stated that I had an X% ownership of building Y at SSR and I understood that to mean that I had some fiscal responsibility/loss with other owners of building Y if that building was wiped out (not just damaged) by a nature-incurred...

So you are suggesting that a) Cabin DVC contracts will only be 25 years long; or b) DVC will sell 50 year contracts and keep enough money set aside from the initial purchase to guarantee replacement units will be delivered half way through the contract without substantial costs being charged to...

So are you saying those trailers are "cheap as chips"? Sorry, but you do not demolish and then re-build a solid wall structure with every refurbishment. This is a potential issue -- not necessarily a fatal commercial issue -- but one I would want to explore as a risk factor when investing...

What weirds me out about this DVC move is that DVC contracts are usually 50 years long. Solid structure builds like SSR are still going to be standing at the end of their contracted life, but I struggle to imagine the modular units depicted in the artwork lasting 50 years. The existing cabins...

Then what was the point of appointing them?

A big vote for AKL (if you can get Jambo House.) Reasoning: everything under one roof. Nobody has mentioned weather conditions yet in the thread and depending on when you are travelling, the rain in Orlando can be heavy, hours long and daily. At AKL Jambo you are protected from the weather...

Tent camping would be a nightmare in August/September, but consider renting an RV at Fort Wilderness. There is an "official" company that will rent you one, complete with outdoor furniture etc, everything you need in the van, do the set up on the site for you. Some can sleep up to 10. You're...

It is a sad testament to how far things have fallen when helpful (and it was helpful) advice suggests interrupting a very expensive signature dinner to get your phone out to book a ride. Not sniping at KTK, just commenting on how all of our standards are dropping because of the hoops we have...

Just in case Disney decides to bring back pool-hopping rights for DVC members, stop mentioning how great the Boardwalk Inn quiet pool is. And certainly don't mention how fantastic it is (as a DVC family) to take a break from EPCOT, sneak out of the International Gateway, grab take-away on the...

When my kids were that age I knew 10 or 12 of their friends and their families. I was close with zero of those families, but friendly enough with 4 or 5 in the sense that we nodded at each other and made small talk at the school gate and sports events. If any of the 4/5 had had a really...

Ok. I'll stop playing. But you have to admit the troll was enlightening as to how nuts they are.

Gold-encrusted caviar might pass through your back passage, but I wouldn't pay for it.

I think that tells us more about you than about value at WDW Resorts.

Forgive me for being obvious, but maybe you are more comfortable cruising because you do not have to reserve in advance your day at the pool on the cruise. Nor do you have to pay a fee and get on-line at 7am on the cruise to reserve a spot on the Aqua Duck ride?

I can assure you that in the UK all serious accidents (e.g. one that led to spinal damage) either in a workplace or a commercial premises are supposed to be officially recorded. "Reporting and recording are legal requirements. The report tells the enforcing authorities for occupational health...
