Found more pics and a video of the family checking in and the ceremony for them. It was a large group and some CMs in African garb were on some riser above the lobby doing some kind of chant and song deal plus they put different décor in the hallways on the floor the family is staying on than is usually in the hallways. The number I saw thrown around this time by housekeeping staff according to the sources is 6 million. Just remember this is all second hand info though.

I meant to comment on this the other day. We took a Minnie Van last week from the Poly to the Yacht Club. The service runs from 6:30 AM to 12:30 AM, and the information from TCD above is correct. I went to the concierge at the Poly and they were able to have a code sent to my phone that activated the Minnie Van option within the Lyft app. $20 flat fee anywhere on property with unlimited stops. The driver was a CP CM and was very pleasant, he said the service was very popular and they had expanded the fleet already. I can tell you that it was worth every penny for 4 of us to get back

This is what led me to find and sign up for this forum as I have recently discovered the joys of staying at the Fort. On another board I am on, it was reported that a family of 48 had a lavish ceremony to welcome them to the Jambo House. There was a cover of sorts put on the opening between two floors because an entire floor had been bought for the family. This way no one can look up or down at the floor where they are staying. They also bought out Jiko the day they arrived. That's all I saw posted so far and any mentions or pics of them or their name was removed but we had it figured out that

I missed this when it was first announced, but figured I'd post it anyway as it's good through October 29... http://www.kennythepirate.com/2017/07/01/disney-springs-shopping-card-promotion-starting-july-10/

A little "Greecian Formula" under the hood would have helped.

Apparently, there are some bird-like creatures called porgs in the new movie. The TCD twins, as always, got ahead of this, and here are the TCD gang's MNSSHP costumes this year: And, no, that's not Noah and two penguins, you uncultured swine. TCD

Who's excited to watch the trailer for The Last Jedi tonight? If you're in California, they have some big doings out there: Join Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Premiere Event Tomorrow in Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort by Erin Glover, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort The trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi will debut during ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” tomorrow, Oct. 9, during halftime of the National Football League (NFL) game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Chicago Bears in Chicago, which starts at 5:15 p.m. PDT/8:15 p.m. E

A few weeks ago when Irma came through we had Fort reservations. They ended up giving us Lodge and that activated the app. I should add that once you have the option in your Lyft app you have it forever. You can use it to or from anywhere on property.

Pouring rain on Friday. We we staying at the Fort but going to HHN for the evening. Had a rent a car booked at car care but did not want to unload the cart and drive up to the outpost to get the car care van in the rain. Was nice having the Minnie Van pick us up at the campsite and take us to car care. Plus because they are cast members they can take short cuts. Exited the Fort out the back (side) way to Lodge and across TTC back to car care. A lot quicker.

That sure sounds like it could be them. I think it was last year they rented out HS (at least part of it) one evening. There's a blog post from one of the adult kids that got engaged during that event... https://www.josephedwardsny.com/stefanie-and-adams-wedding-trailer-at-the-mandarin-oriental-hotel/1345 Oh and there were 46 of them last year. :) I'll be curious to hear any other reports from the weekend. Oh and welcome to Fort Fiends!!

Nope, you need to bring your own. Too many would probably "find legs".

We were on the beach for the fireworks this past year. My recommendation is to get there early. There were people who actually brought rope and staked out their own little VIP areas. We ate dinner at Ohana and saw the fireworks from the Poly at 7:00. Then we had some drinks at Crockett's and watched football. We watched the fireworks from close to the tree line. It's raised up above other people and was a good people watching spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The original Disney management would not recognize what Disney has become. But, the same thing can no doubt be said about every Fortune 500 company that existed 50 years ago and still exists today. A lot of them are already gone. The times have drastically changed. Everything is now driven by pure, unmitigated, blind greed. Nothing else matters to them. And that's why companies like Disney are in the messes that they're in. Greed has been the cause of death of many companies in the past 50 years, and it very well be the cause of Disney's death as well. Thousands

Official information about the Minnie Vans is hard to find. The Disney Parks Blog posted one article about these, and no one ever came back to answer all the questions potential customers have asked: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2017/07/now-available-minnie-van-service-at-walt-disney-world-resort/ I met an actual Minnie Van driver yesterday, and she told me a few things about the current status of the program. Here are some tidbits; - The service is supposed to be limited to guests of specific WDW resorts. They began with The Boardwalk and Yacht and Beach Club, and
