Universal's resorts are way cheaper than Disney's. We were able to stay at Universal's version of the Poly for like a third of the price. It was so nice!!! Probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in.

A hotel at least as nice as RP can be found at Disney and always at a cheaper price

James has trained one of our deer to knock on the door Yesterday I thought somebody knocked on the door and his buddy was standing there looking lonely

Unless I'm mistaken that particular scene happened just a short while before she push him off the floating door. I stand corrected, that was real romance!

That's another thing... how can anyone love a movie that had more deaths then all the Rambo movies combined but not like tomatoes? It just ain't right!

I have to side with @Goofyernmost . Once was enough.

Zero times.

If there's one to watch more than once a day, it's The Princess Bride. I can quote a lot of it. That's one of my favorites.

I started a whole thing last week on Facebook when I asked if I finally have to watch it now, and what movies that everyone loves have you never seen? Most popular answers were Goonies and Titanic!

I’ve never sat through Titanic. I’ve watched the beginning, I enjoy the special effects and the drama of the ship sinking. At the time, I enjoyed watching DiCaprio drown because I couldn’t stand him (other than on Growing Pains and the DeNiro movie “This Boy’s Life.”

Of course you are!! I never even saw his performance and I'm devastated. You went often! And poor J!!! He always seemed to love it.

Also saw that 400 Imagineers were laid off. So sad.

First of all, yes, it's very sad indeed for these people to lose their jobs and salaries.

Also, it's very "telling" -- eliminating all that creative talent (the cornerstone of Disney is their magical and creative elements), means that creativity has slid into oblivion.

Sadly, we don’t have military benefits. Someone I met recently is DVC, but her dh is retired military. They are going next week and they got discounted tickets. The price was under $300 and they are going for a week. I almost asked her if she could get me tickets, but she also offered the info that when you exchange them (vouchers I guess) , you need a military id. Oh well. Hoping dd’s new cheer team will qualify for the competition that is held in Disney in May. They offer nicely discounted tickets.

Does Disney even need Imagineers any more it seems lately everything is based on IP's and build a roll coaster. Million dollar question will they be rehired when things turn around

We're too cheap to stay "onsite" but do enjoy the walk to GF it's not our cup of tea but I don't think we'd miss a chance to stop by for a drink if the orchestra was still there

This. For them and Bob, the loss in sales. Really, without the music, it is just a hotel lobby. At POR, it is just a lounge. I have stayed at some hotels with great lobbies, but people just pass through. On the way to their room, on the way from. Me, personally, I now have zero reason to stop by GF. POR is our favorite place to stay, but now zero reason to wander through the main building and linger. And if I am not out of my room, I am not stopping for a little dessert, a drink. You know, spending money. I hope they reconsider these decisions, once this is over.

We have put upside down frisbees on our deck and filled them up with birdseed. We have so many birds visit us now. A male and female cardinal came a few times a day. I got to know their calls, but haven’t seen them for a few days. Have to check if they migrate. The cats love watching them, and it is relaxing for me to watch them as well.

Imagineering and also Disney Animation has always been a revolving door of talent. Over the years there have been regular layoffs in those areas. When Eisner was CEO there was a bomb of a movie called Treasure Planet. After that failure, many lost their jobs. For everyone struggling worldwide it's going to be a very different way to spend the holidays with not much celebration. Hopefully people are addressing mental health issues as needed.

I won’t watch Titanic because I cannot stand Dicaprio. He annoyed me when he was on Growing Pains. He ruined a good show.

If you know someone who is eligible to stay at Shades of Green resort they can sponsor up to 3 rooms and purchase tickets. Caveat is they must sign you in and be with you when you purchase tickets. I think a regular veteran can stay 2 months out of the year I believe Sept and Jan
