Yes, Bedbugs have been an issue. They come from the dirty guests.
MK was nasty the other night.... due to a few tour groups. There were several thousand South American teenagers. MK wasnt as bad last night but it was still busy. I would describe it as "Average Summertime Busy" on my scale but not "Spring Break Crowded."

You can buy matteress covers specifically for bedbugs, has WDW ever bought them?

Here's the size of the public crowd at the last D23 Expo for the keynote addresses in the 10,000 seat Anaheim Arena.
If you bought a ticket to the Expo, and got in line early enough, you got a seat in the arena for the P&R Presentation.
They are trying to kill D23. The backlash today on the forums and twitter has been impressive. Of course you have the typical lap dogs defending every decision the company makes, no matter how asinine.

In all fairness, bed bugs have nothing to do with "dirty". They just infest places by being accidentally brought into it. You can be the cleanest person on the planet and still have them. They hide in clothing and hitch a ride from where ever they are to where ever you are going. If you stayed in a motel in-route that had them, you could easily bring them into Disney.
Even if you don't have them in your own home, they can be picked up when traveling. Make sure that your luggage is always closed up tight when you're not taking things out of it. Keep your clothing in closed areas, not drawers in the room, you might have some slightly wrinkled things but there is less chance of being a free ride to home. They won't be out there during the day when you are active, it's only when nothing is going on, like your out to dinner, at a park or at night when people are sleeping that they come out of hiding.
I had someone bring them into my residential care home. I had to throw out all the mattresses, springs, cloth covered furniture and carpets. All clothing in the place had to be washed in a light mixture of bleach and the building had to be tented and fogged. It got rid of them, but not before spending several thousand dollars to do it.

I remember that. Pretty fierce opposition back then.And 15,000 likes (maybe four from @Lee) ...I can't fully believe it, after the less than MAGICal welcome I got here five long years ago, but you like me. You really, really like me!!!
People were frothing at the mouth and wanting your hide.
Don't feel bad, i also had a somewhat unfriendly welcome when i first joined this Forum too.
Sometimes it seems one has to 'prove themselves' somehow before being 'accepted'.
Time has a way of setting things right though, and i think we can both relate.
Glad you managed to hunker down in the bunker and stay with us.
I am glad you are here.
You keep things interesting and always entertaining.

Was just coming here to post it, it's exploding all over Twitter. Disney better get off their , but they probably won't.

Intriguing! I could def get behind that, and I even like Disaster with all its cheesy goodness. (Was actually surprised how much I enjoyed it in Feb. It might have been because I've never seen a CM with that much enthusiasm at any park, Uni, Disney, or otherwise before. She deserved a raise). They could do so much with the tech available these days. Not to mention its a classic Universal movie so hard to get upset about it coming back.

Kong was made by RKO, then later distributed by UNI.

Yep. And they will announce that they brought Lucas on as "creative adviser" for the project. The first proposed ride, recently leaked on the internet, is going to be Jar Jar's Intergalactic Jamboree. It's a spinner ride, similar to the ever popular ones at MK and AK.
Here's some concept art.

Wonderful? It's still associated heavily with Universal.

Did RKO sell ownership of the rights to Universal at any point? We're they involved with the recent remake?

The coolest thing about KONG returing with its own unique ride system, track, queue, pre and post shows and scene elements? Is the fact it will be opening near the same time the new Jurassic Park E-Ticket will be opening.
And did anyone mention the new info on Gringotts? *drools...feels faint* This is what cutting edge attractions should be.
But I'm sure D23 is going to be really fun.

Disaster isn't the most popular attraction, but I'm a fan. It was better as Earthquake. Caught me off guard the first time I was on it, lol. I really thought we were in trouble, lol.
I don't know about King Kong. Have to see. Disaster will be easier to part with than Amity & Jaws.

Mainly for the 2005 remake. They did not make nor do they have the rights for the current restoration of the 1933 original (WB/Turner does), nor were they involved with the 1976 remake (that's Paramount's problem). I'm just saying that to be all technical.
Kong's involvement with UOR was like Star Tours at Disney, not really because it's "theirs", but that they wanted a ride based on it. I don't criticize them for making a new one.See above, though I do detect a hint of sarcasm...or cinnamon?

Got to hand it to the timing of their planned leak. As the Disney community goes into meltdown over the announced "no new announcements" Universal fires another 2,000 lb shell.
Well played.
