Yes, this is the worrisome development. I should’ve been more clear in my initial post. Closing early on weekdays is typical during certain times of year; closing early on weekends is atypical.

I wonder if that is only in the DL one or if it happens in the Hollywood Studios version.
Oh that’s right you weren’t invited to the dinner party. He’s doing fine and says hello to everyone. I even met the nice neighbor lady who was visiting from Villa Park and gave me some juicy tidbits on DL Forward that unfortunately I cannot share with you all. But I can tell you the artichokes, ribeyes and scotch was all fantastic.

He only shows up to gloat if the company's doing bad.

The salted pork was particularly good.
In other news, I hope everyone is enjoying the challenge to parking structure perceptions on display off the 57...

Heh, good point. Them using the word "intentional" is rather odd...

Oh interesting, when Halloween started they had the usual Tarzan pumpkin in the hub for Adventureland, but they've now swapped in a new pumpkin featuring a Tiki Bird!

Someone didn't get the memo that Tarzan was evicted I guess.

Clearly realized a bit late in the game, but I’m impressed they swapped it mid event.

Back to back ones at that! And are my arms tired of rowing!
The ocean cruise through Scandinavia and the northern British Isles (where I learned I'm allergic to Shetland Ponies), and then a few days in London to get my sea legs sorted before doing a river cruise through the Rhone Valley. Both itineraries were stunning!I'm partial to the ocean cruises though now, because of the size of the ship. The river cruise was wonderful, but I enjoy seeing and chatting with the larger group of people on the ocean ships. And if you run into someone distasteful or rude, it's easier to escape and avoid them on the larger ships.
Do we have a cruise sub-forum here? I'm typing my thoughts out loud and never thought of that. I may need to join that if it exists, as I have thoughts on that topic now. Viking has absolutely nailed their brand and their style and their very high level of professionalism!
Much of it reminds me of classic Disneyland, as the Viking teams are so good at weaving stories and real history and fables and folklore into the days strung together on their itineraries. Port talks and night-before lectures and concerts and cooking classes onboard all play to what you have just experienced in port, or will experience with the culture in the next port. It's not just the style and clean aesthetics of the ship and their very sharp crew, it's how it all comes together to tell a story and teach you something! Viking is really an impressive organization, and dare I say a leader in the modern hospitality/tourism sphere.

There's this:
Disney Cruise Line
I don't know how strict they are over there, but it's as good a place as any (especially if you were to do some sort of mild comparison).

Nice you had a good time!
The cruise forum is sub par here, but cruise critic is the forum that was most populous on the internet. Now Facebook groups seem to be the thing du jour, but your typical Viking age demographic is likely more forum based.
I inversely have not done a river cruise, could definitely see that anonymity issue.
Celebrity is my new favourite line, but Viking is a step above that. I’m not old enough and wealthy enough for Viking yet, maybe in a decade!
