Can you post a pic? Maybe I saw them and didn't pay attention, but would you have to be looking at them to notice? Seriously I'm now going over the day in my mind.. I can't remember seeing them.

I didn't grab a pic. Knowing some folks here, I assumed we'd already have an angry, narrated POV video up here by now lol.
Two of them stood out to me clearly, and I wasn't looking for them. I had actually forgotten about them until we road by. The other two that I could see appeared further back behind some of those shrub carts they wheel in front of things. (You can see what I'm talking about via that Blog Mickey link earlier)
They were quite visible as we walked from CoP to SM. They're just past the bathrooms.
I hate them in their current state.
If they eventually get a permanent, themed and less intrusive structure, I won't mind them at all.
Will I ever rent one? Not a chance.

Same here. I will never rent one...but I understand the reasoning behind them...and I'm sure they fit certain families or groups, but not mine.
We did CoP and then walked to the Space Mountain store so I could buy the portable charger..but I didn't have cash or cards on me so that was a failed mission
My phone died 2 hours before we left the park. Anyway, maybe I didn't notice them bc I was frantically headed to that shop. SM is our first FP Tuesday evening, I'll try to remember to look for them this time.

I have seen CoP more times than I can count.. was always a favorite of mine even as a child. Watching it today all I could think of was "Holy cow this is one sexist piece of work!"
I'm so glad times are different now!!!

Ok sorry for the diversion, now back to regularly schedule programming of bashing anyone with more money to spend than what "you" (not you) have.

Mother doing a basement renovation on her own seems forward-thinking for the time. But the rest? Yep, ha.

Profit at worst is a strong 2nd to them (if things get more Presseresqe Profit would trump Safety as well)...

Conspicuous consumption. 'I can afford this and you can't, nah,nah,na-na,nah....'
Wasn't there talk about having weddings in the park *after the park is open for the day*.

Glad you said this. It's so great to have strong women in the workplace these days. Like yourself. What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?
Uh-oh, the resident SJW was triggered by CoP. Maybe the cabanas have safe spaces and play dough.

Currently the keys are Efficiency, Profit, Safety andCourtesy, The goal of course is Profit, Efficiency, Share Price and Safety.
You might notice Show is nowhere in the keys any longer that went out with the old dead guy walt and they had to leave Safety there to please legal, Courtesy as a key is also out because it's more expensive to hire courteous employees.

But they had the Ft Wilderness trailers which they sold off to some place in the midwest....

Can much of these "up-charge additions" be the result of the lack of sponsorship? While these cabanas are "private" this type of thing isn't new. It seemed in the hay-day every large cooperation had a lounge somewhere at WDW. These getaways were really fantastic spaces to take a moment to catch your breath.
In this sense, I can see these cabanas being a great experience for many families that can afford it. Hopefully very shortly they will find better location much like all the old lounges tucked into various attractions.

But those were set up for indoor plumbing which would not be theme well with the way TDO now envisions Tomorrowland
