My personal favorite is DHS to EPCOT do the "EPCOT death march" and then back to DHS.

Gondolas.

I like the Friendship boats from DHS to EPCOT.

I like the Friendship boats from DHS to EPCOT.

I prefer the gondolas. The boats can be slow. If we have to take the boats, we get off at Yacht/Beach and walk the rest of the way.

Haven't been to WDW since they installed the Skyliner Gondola system.

The reason I like the Friendship boats is because they are slow -- I find them relaxing.

Oh, the gondolas are really nice. What I like about them as opposed to the boat is that if you catch them at non-peak times, you don't have to wait for them. Whereas you always have to wait for the boat. My bad knee very much appreciated this last trip. You can also see a good bit on the gondolas.

Provided you don't roast inside them in the heat -- but we won't bring up that hot button topic! (Apparently, they've somehow worked through that issue, as I don't recall recently, anyway, complaints about that.)

Well, boats rarely stop in the middle of nowhere.
Gondolas? had quite a few stops.

I've never found them at all hot. The air exchange is pretty good.

I would never buy a home in a very hot climate with a second floor. Even with the central AC running , the second floor will not be as comfortable as the first floor of the house. For the ones in the country who have basements that is a cooler place to be minus the dampness.

I understand you viewpoint since you live in Florida, but my parents live in Wisconsin. Aa house with a basement, 1st floor and 2nd floor is common in Wisconsin.

I understand the heat with the 2nd floor since that is the floor I grew up having my own bedroom on, but what happened yesterday was not normal circumstances for my parents.

The circumstances I am talked about is a company doing work on my parents house and found unexpected stuff. All I am willing to say is parts of the house had wood replace and sunny light went in as a result and the heat for that matter.

Before you mention central air, that is a no go in the front room in the 2nd floor. Its due to the design of the 2nd floor. There was no vent in the 2nd floor front room and that meant air conditioner in window. The thing is the air conditioner couldn't be put in yesterday.

Agreed. I have ridden them in hot moths like June/July & August and they were very comfortable. A few times in the spring they have been a little chilly with the air flow.

I don't think I've ever had Muscato. (Doesn't sound familiar to me.)

I’m no wine connoisseur, by any means, but, I do know that many wines from that variety of grape are, generally, sweeter. I’ve had them before at the wineries we’ve visited here in Central Texas, and I had the two checked below on our January Ruidoso, NM trip…good stuff…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

It's a sweet wine similar to Niagra, very fruity

I knew I should have read ahead…yet again…just one more post…!!!!!

Yes, can you just imagine all the letters of “gondolences” Disney would have had to have written if that had been the case…!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

The lemon slush is Grey Goose vodka and the orange slush is Grand Marnier so you mixed vodka and cognac? Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy Disenchantment

The “Lagoondoggle”…!!!!!

You would like today's temperatures at my parents house. While it was the lows 80s today, My parents claimed the upstairs for their house was in the 100s.

We have central heat and air, so it never gets very hot or cold in our home.
The current temp, and high temp for today, posted below…!!!

All newer 2-story average-sized (and even most older average-sized 2-story homes down here) have both upper floor and lower floor HVAC zones. Of course, hot air always rises, but, the 2 zones pretty much cancel it out.

Yea, that is one of the crazy things down here.
We have so many clients these days that want super modern homes with almost flat, flat-looking, or completely flat roofs, and we have to figure out innovative ways to run the HVAC/mechanical where it needs to go. No steep roof pitches with ample attic space or basements for mechanical needs in those cases.
To say the least, it gets really fun to maintain the architectural integrity of the client-desired design aesthetic, and address those all-so-important real world needs along with it. Somehow, we always seem to figure it out, but, in those cases, it ain’t no cake walk…!!!
