Whew. That's a relief.

He’s lying...!!!!!

It was a long time ago, since I had a fuel tester. I recall at the time, that we used to take the sample, check for water, and them dump the sample off into the grass near the plane. That dumping location was amended at one point, due to the environmental police having a hissy with the flying school, over that.

From that point on, there were metal buckets available near the tethered planes, to chuck the samples.

And, then dump them at the aforementioned dumping location...?

It really is an art form, similar to making a violin or guitar by hand...from what I know of bow-making, I would guess it takes over a week's worth of work hours for someone with experience to make one.

Oh, it was definitely the arrows. I used wild turkey feathers for the flights (they were easy to find on the grounds of where the tee pee I was living in was set up), and 5-minute epoxy for glue. I probably could have gotten them to fly pretty close to true if I spent enough time on them.

Been researching these more. Lots of choice out there, the cheapest longbows I can find are still in the $600 range...

For the amount of labor that goes into them, that really seems like a pretty decent deal.

No park passes necessary as long as you can get to them. Maybe a bus to the Pop or something from Disney Springs. I have heard they don’t check for a park pass when parking at the parks but you’d have to pay to park. But I haven’t driven to a park so I’m not 100% on that.

They don't scan your MB unless you say you are staying at a resort and don't want to pay $20. At the Parks parking lots.

I was considering parking at DS and taking a bus to either AoA or BW or BC. Now I noticed just now that all parks have availability all through May. They must have increased capacity overnight cause they only had Epcot open the week of the 10th. I am now considering getting a one day pass for Epcot. I would just need to pay for myself since youngest already has passes.

Indeed at that range however I can get a a nice “pew pew” rifle...

If you just want to explore and are not staying onsite, then I think the ideal thing is to park at Disney Springs. It's a good chance that you will be ending your day there anyway. Your real problem right now is the massive theme park side effect of Covid19. The transportation setup is nowhere near as diversified as it usually is non-pandemic and that will limit your possibilities, but whatever is available will still be available but might take a little longer to get there. Even the monorail at MK is open for just riding. You don't have to show a ticket or any intent to get on it and ride the circle. (Just the circle for now because the Monorail to Epcot isn't operating.

Thinking of getting a one day to Epcot. Will let my little one decide if going there is something she would want to do.

Is Epcot only opening at 11am now? The hours say 11am to 10pm. Nothing about Future World being open at 9. If so there is no point to going to Epcot.

Yes officially opens at 11, entire park, although actual entry opens just after 10am.

Are the restaurants and stores also closed until 11?

yes

A parent I know is saying they are opening the bigger attractions 30 minutes early. Is he completely wrong? My kid is going to the cheer competition in 2 weeks at ESPN. I don’t want to get in an argument and say he is wrong. Would like to know for myself though.

Yes a couple of the most popular rides open earlier. Restaurants, shops and smaller attractions open at 11. If going to EPCOT you need to be at the entrance for 10am.
