I commend you for running in such deep snow.

I commend you for running in such deep snow.

Raise your hand if you've read EVERY post on this thread

Not I

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

OK... I'll stop complaining about having to run in 40f temps tonight after work

Easier said than done, though, I know!!

I hope they do something with the white service structure in the POP station yet. It looks so out of place to have this white shipping container like box under the rest of this flowing roof and yellow columns.

It looks plopped in there instead of designed together.

Could be worse... I get 20 degrees tomorrow morning

I expect it will be painted, nothing more.

Check out the gondolas in this video. Sometimes I think this is how some people view the gondolas in WDW.

You look up ahead and see the station is on fire from the curved glass roof superheating the inside but the cable is inexorably pulling your cabin towards the inferno. What to do?
Jump into the alligator infested brain eating amoeba swamp to escape certain death?
Pray that the main drive fails and the backup fails to kick in?
Hope the Fast and Furious guys swoop in on drones so you climb up on the wire?
Sit calmly and mutter "the mouse can do no wrong, the mouse can do no wrong"?

Start singing the theme from pirates of the caribbean and drink ALL the rum fast?
What a dilemma.

They need to equip them with ejector seats with steerable parachutes.

What if the cable snaps and you get trapped in the box as it drops into the alligator water. Will there be an extra charge to be rescued as your gondola sinks? Will DVC members get first rights to being rescued? Will the Alligators try to sell you on buying into DVC? So many horrific outcomes/business opportunities!!!

That's more like it...

Still think they look like toasters filled with 10 pop tarts.

What is the path from DHS to EPCOT? Any guess on how long it will take to go from one to the other?
