I read or heard on the news somewhere that the newer Samsungs were catching fire while in airplane mode. Is that what this is?

Worse, one burned right inside an airplane.. while getting shutdown.
Seems not all batteries of the replacement were correctly tested.
This is a huge bad for Samsung.

I swear im not going to trust any samsung cell phone with an embedded and unremovable battery.

There were various Uber drivers that showed up at resorts while we were there. When we checked out of our resort, we waited that evening for my friend's husband to pick us up from CBR for a couple of hours and there were 3 different uber drivers that pulled up outside where the luggage check is to either pick people up or drop them off. No one ever said anything or made the uber drivers leave. There were also a few outside of the Poly while we waited one night. So I don't think it's necessarily who they "allow". I mean, the number of people who rent cars, or drive, or have family or friends who come pick them up, it would be kind of hard to say you can only use Mears. That would mean no one could drive their own car anymore. DH wouldn't use uber at all, but is there a way to tell an uber driver from just any person driving their own car?

I agree with you..
also I've seen his behavior..

IF an uber driver is empty.. they are allowed to get in to PICK UP.
If an uber driver has passengers. They MUST show their magicband or disney card to enter any resort.

Well, both DDs are currently in Epcot for F&W.
They had planned a cruise with members of their workout group about 6 months ago.
They had planned this day at Disney and then the cruise was supposed to depart tomorrow morning, but, apparently has only been delayed by a day. They are staying at a friend (the one we met up with in Epcot after the Princess 5K) from the groups house that lives in Orlando.
As a result of Matthew they will be hunkering down at her place tomorrow, as well, and then are scheduled to cruise one day late on Saturday morning. The cruise will be cut short by that one day. They have each been given vouchers to use on the cruise as a result.
They face timed me earlier this morning as they were entering Epcot. It was pretty funny...!!! :hilarious:
Stay safe my silly dears...!!!!! :inlove:

I know; I'm having trust issues with them right now. My mom needs a new phone, and she's had a Samsung the past three years and really likes it. She wants another Samsung (and needs something under $200 since we're on pay as you go)...but I'm definitely wary of them given the battery issues. Thinking maybe she should get an LG or Motorola phone instead just to be safe.

How much phone does she need and how much does she use it. I have an alcatel from HSN track phone. The phone and a year of service cost me under $100. I can call and text, no charge if you use wifi for data. It's not fancy but it works and I seem to get reception where some of the fancier phones don't

We're going for a midrange Android smartphone. She does use and need the smartphone functions. I've been looking at unlocked phones elsewhere to see prices for unlocked phones. If it weren't for the battery issue, a Samsung phone would be perfect, but the history just makes me wary.

Stay safe. I have been texting my dad today (he lives about 1 -1 1/2 hours north of Orlando) asking him about his emergency plan. He says he has a "few" things and some bottled water. He's never been in a hurricane before, I don't think he knows what to expect. Even with the last big tropical storm that hit Florida it didn't impact him, but this has more of a possibility of getting by him. So, I told him to prep like a blizzard (not the Dairy Queen kind) is coming so that may help him a little. :confused:

I hope your dad is safe, where he is. It's sounding really serious today.

Since you asked here is what we had booth by booth (take of it what you will) I will indicate if we liked it or not.... And we really only had food, I had a couple beer samplers but I know you don't like beer... (Also we ate all this over 3 days and really only ate at Epcot for most of our meals, but yes we were pigs.

Craft Beers: Piggy Wings (with South Korean BBQ sauce) EXCELLENT!!!!!! A top pick
The Chew Collective: Peanut Butter with White Chocolate Mousse, it was good but the serving was super tiny really only a spoonful for both of us.
Greenhouse Guru: Duck confit with creamy polenta & salsa Yummy.
Chocolate Studio: Nitro Chocolate Mousse was Yummy also the Red Wine Truffle very good and could taste the wine
Islands of the Caribbean: Mojo pork with Cilantro rice and beans Yummy close to a top pick
Greece: Greek Yogurt Vanilla cake soaked in Ouzo....This was okay but tasted like black licorice ( I don't care for that much)
Patagonia: Beef skewer with chimmichurri EXCELLENT AND MY FAVORITE!!!! (ate it twice this year and last year)
Hawaii: Kalua pork slider....Very good a top pick
Farm Fresh: loaded mac and cheese.... Very good a top pick (last year it was just okay)
New Zealand: lamb meatball (Hubby had this as I don't eat lamb and he liked it a lot)
Australia: Lamb chop (Hubby's absolute favorite) and I had the Lamington (cake with chocolate & coconut) it was good but I could make that at home easy peasey
Mexico: flan (okay) and Barbacoa enchilada which was yum yum yummy!
China: Duck in the steamed bun (good) and the Sichuan Chicken EXCELLENT another top pick
South Korea: BBQ beef (it was just okay but seemed a little bland)
Africa: both the Berbere beef and the Butter chicken are EXCELLENT and top picks
Poland: this was a top pick last year and again this year with the kielbasa and pierogies
Italy we skipped as it's booths have always disappointed, but we did relax and have tasty food at the Tutto Gusto Wine Celler
Hops and Barley: smoked beef brisket EXCELLENT!!!
Japan: Spicy Sushi Roll (Hubby had this and loved it.)
Morocco: Hummus fries EXCELLENT it was a surprise hit out of nowhere. We don't really eat hummus, well that is going to change!
Belgium: braised beef....this was okay but I can make just as good at home
Brazil: meat pie (it was bland, bring salt and pepper), cheese bread YUMMY! Last year we got the pork belly and like that, didn't get it this year
France: we loved both the beef bourguignon and the creme brulee
Ireland: warm chocolate puddling with Irish cream liqueur custard....Do I even need to say it was yummy! It was.
Scotland: Potato pancake with smoked salmon...the potato pancake was great but I hate fish so I didn't try that part of it
Canada: both the beef filet and the cheese soup were EXCELLENT!

Hope my list didn't bore you too much. And now I'm really hungry.....;):hungry:

A former student from 20 years ago who has now become a close friend and colleague (she also now teaches band) is at Disney right now. Their flight back to Maryland was cancelled. Disney is allowing them to stay in their room through Saturday (free of charge) at Coronado Springs. They are currently at the lounge at Coronado getting the free drinks (Hurricane Happy Hour is until 10pm). I would definitely rather be in The World during a hurricane than most other places on a beautiful day. :)

Color me a little jealous. No... a lot jealous.
