Do you consider Carousel of Progress as a ride?

I mean, a ride is anything considered anything with a moving vehicle. So does that also include Carousel of Progress?

But I’ve always considered it a show, mainly cause of the seating. So which is it?

MDE officially categorizes it as a slow ride

Oh! So that’s what they are talking about

Yes young Padawan. It used to be called Captain's Grille. And Steakhouse 71 was previously called the Wave. Dinosaur's original name was Countdown to Extinction. And many moons ago, Port Orleans was called Dixie Landings.

We don't always realize that those people that impressed us the most still grow old and die. It just seems unfair. She had a soothing, captivating voice that no other has equaled. First time ever I saw you face and Killing me softly were two of the finest pieces of music ever recorded. RIP Roberta!

First time I stayed there was hurricane Irma in 2017 the dreary atmosphere created by the hurricane helped it feel more immersive in a weird way

I only was down in Florida once during a Hurricane. It was 2003 during Charlie and we were at Wilderness Lodge*. And then when I was a year younger than you are now, we got stuck because of Hurricane Irene hitting Maryland. It was nice and sunny in Epcot that day. Good times.

Obviously you would not have been alive yet and once again, I feel old.

I'm going to let everyone in on a secret. I remain on this site for the simple reason that those that start moaning about being old in their late 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond can see that I am still snarky and able to use a keyboard at my age. The best part is that even when I post stuff it isn't always crazy talk. Most of the time, sure, but not always.

Yea, the pups here just make me chuckle at their decrepit states at 30-ish or even younger. The whining on their way towards their 40’s and beyond, as long as I’m still around for that, will be absolutely hilarious…!!!!!!!

Not much to judge by , there is.

As I have told you before, I am proof good things come in small packages.

I think every generation that came down the pike goes through that phase -- including us!

Never been in a store. I have no idea what they sell besides fabric stuff. But online shopping is destroying everything. And yes, I do buy online because I can get better products than places sell here. There's only big retailers here anyway.

Does make you wonder if they knew that would be the REAL outcome all along -- but kept on the employees in the stores that they reported were staying open. And once the deal was officially finalized -- they fired that staff as well.
