You are as sane as the rest of us on here.

That's the problem

I hope to finish the last of my packing over the week-end.

Not when you get into wind shear and you fall several feet. Truly scary. It took me several flights to get over that. And I won't fly small planes anymore.

But smaller planes are safer. If the engine fails they can glide rather than plummet

Not with me on board!

They'd be fine with you, @Mr Ferret 88 not so much

Land clearing next to Wilderness Lodge in between the resort and the road to MK and they demolished the beach area for a building? Not sure what's that building is going to be.

I know, I find there web sight to be unhelpful. It didn't used to be that way. You could go on and look at each boat, and find all the dining options. Now, they list all the dining options, for all the boats. You have a hard time finding information, individual to each ship. Hubby has found some information from blog sights. He types in RCL, and follow with Oasis restaurants. The headliner shows, are not revealed until you get to the ships. There are usually two evening times for shows.

Yeah, but I still cant find the info. I'm on the OASIS ship landing page and nope, it only shows what they have, but not at what hours..
grrr. I want to know since CATS is almost 3 hours long. Can you imagine missing your dinning reservations because of this?

technically, the "air holes" can affect big planes as well.

eeeh no..
both planes can glide for a bit. but both will still plummet when they lose sustentation.

more DVC if I remember correctly.
They are transforming 60% of the resort into DVC.

I'd much rather be in a small plane

I like small planes, too.
Heck, I like all planes...!

You just need one of these @betty rose...!

Not as much as small planes though. I remember when I went to Europe in the late 60s one of our hops was on an ancient DC 3 gas prop plane. We hit a wind shear and I swear we dropped 1000 feet. When the shear stopped the wings literally bent upward at the ends. A new plane would have been bad enough, but, for one that old it was a reason for concern. Last I heard we did not crash, but, it was enough for me to decide that the bigger the better, and the more engines the better. It has always been my belief that it is nearly impossible to pull an airplane over to the curb and wait for a tow-truck if the engine quits. Having a wing rip off was even less likely. To be less dramatic, however, that was the last and only time, in all my plane travel that I ever experienced anything like it.

Spoiler

There is a limit, however! Some of those super size airliners are quite impossible to actually lift off the ground. My theory is that they never leave the ground. They have their own highway that they run down while they project pictures of elevation and clouds on the "fake" window. Much like the train in Universal for Harry Potter.

Last time I went on the Carnatorus just didn't move. Must have been hanging out with the Yeti

I do need that. Actually my first ride was a small plane in sunny weather. It was the best flight ever. I think I was more scared because my two year old daughter was with me.

 

[donaldtoo]

Except for Airplane!

Hahaaa...!
One of my all time favorite flicks!
Only movie I've ever gone back to see in the theater the very next night to just make sure we caught all the one-liners...!!!

I think they do an abbreviated show on the ships.

You are right, we had a big drop when flying to Hawaii. I was asleep it was the night flight back. It woke me up when dropping. Wasn't a fan. But, we made it both times. Now, I fly like a trooper. I always ask for a window seat, I love looking out the window.
