Are they going to charge four times as much since it only happens every four years?

I'd just like to see them enforce the 16 yrs old with valid drivers license (I could even live with unlicensed 14 year old kids).

Because we're gluttons for punishment. 
 
 
 
...and some of us melt when it hits 85 for more than 3 consecutive days.

There's a particularly obnoxious know-it-all type on another board who claims to be a FW CM who keeps repeating that.
 
But he also tells people to take the MK bus from the Fort, doesn't know anything about the different cable line up the campsites have, etc. etc.
 
My favorite recent tidbit of information from this expert was that turkey fryers were not allowed at the Fort because they have an open flame.
 
Like a propane stove?
 
Someone should have told those 50-100 folks I see frying turkeys every year.
 
Oh, and this ding-dong is also allegedly and ordained minister and owner of several restaurants.
 
Busy guy.
 
Just reaffirms that they don't know their rears from a hole in the ground over there, and Fort Fiends is the only place for correct information about the Fort.

Just posted about this site on the other thread.
 
It's great they have such a good time and enjoy family.
 
But the setup seems excessive to me and I'm surprised the Fort allows it.  
 
On the other hand after all these years why haven't they made a kitchen/cooking trailer yet?  And bought a camper?

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a no pets loop anymore. We are in a supposed non-pet loop and have at least four sites with dogs and likely more.

It might have something to do with when the reservation starts. We've gotten the same site two years in a row. I suspect it has to do with they fact that we check in on Sunday after many folks check out and long enough before the big holidays that we are in a down period. Based on the number of empty sites I saw in 1300 during the week we stayed it probably would have worked for the first few days of the week if the request was in early enough. In other words there were enough empty sites they could set a couple aside for folks who had a specific site or specific area requests.

Of course not what I thought of when reading instant pot. Lol

TCD I find your level of picture organizational skills top notch.

If the boss says "No" that's it I guess. In an effort not to hijack further I'm familiar with most bank processing. My first job was as a field engineer supporting the big 3890 check sorters for a coop of small local banks. FYI I've been inside the Fed's computers from my home wireless network too. I designed and wrote parts of the IO subsystem for the mainframe z/OS and was a company rep to the IETF for a number of years overseeing the architecture of the TCP/IP communications stack. One thing that might work is to tunnel a SNA connection like LU6.2 to the AS/400 under the VPN. Definitely more secure but would take some programming but it would require the same mindset change that you are working under now.
 
 
Back on subject. As I turned in my borrowed cable modem yesterday I told the CM that next time we shouldn't have to go through this. She just laughed one of those dream on laughs. She then said something along the line of you would think with Disney being a technology company they should have been able to get WiFi working in short order but she expects this to go the way of past attempts and not work well and be removed for something new.

I am avoiding the stores on Black Friday as well. I plan on hiking with a friend and getting some fresh air and sunshine before the snow flies.

My sources tell me that JJ Abrams is directing a prequel trilogy of Hocus Pocus movies, the first of which to be released Halloween 2016, and that all of the Not So Scary Parties next year will be rethemed as Mickey's Hocus Pocus Hallowishes Party.  
 
However, it is true that Bette will not be participating in the prequels.  She's been recast.
 

I've reached that point in life that I don't race anymore. If it can't be done on island time it will have to wait or just not get done.  :thtray:

They just finished installing a new utility pole in the back corner of the 1300/1200 loops. The company specializes in laying communications cables and fiber. One of the workers told me it is for the WiFi network.

Strange I posted to this thread, saw it and now it's gone. I'm on the Disney network so maybe not so strange.
 
As to the green cylinders. If they are installing the WiFi network using the existing cable system I would expect to see new cable drops near the areas where the cable modem/router will go. Of course they still need to have utility poles or other means of lifting the router to a usable height but it makes sense to build on top of the existing cable network.

Best bet is to change the title of the thread to "PLEASE IGNORE THIS THREAD".  You'll have 100 responses by the next morning.  

Besides being right up there with the amount of crazy news stories, and perpetual botched elections, Florida now has another claim at being a number 1 state.
 
We are Number 1 in the amount of toll roads !  We check in at 719 miles,
 
Oklahoma is # 2 with a paltry 605.
 
Even Texas where it takes a day to drive across and everything is 4 hours apart, is # 5 at 503.
 
And now our governor has handed over the keys to the state to some cronies of his, that are making the Lexus toll lanes in Orlando and are pushing hard in Tampa to get them approved.  This private company will collect and keep the majority of the money collected for themselves.
 

That's one of my favorite stand up routines.

Don't shed a tear for Linda.  
 
Previously, she had only 5 weekends per year to look forward to.  Now, the entire year will be one long SW Weekend.  
 
Linda's force has been awakened.  

I was thinking about this article tonight. When I came back from EPCOT I couldn't get into my room, when I tried scanning my magic band nothing happened. No lights at all came on the reader, so I had to walk allllllll (our room is pretty far) the way up front with Elizabeth and get them to figure it out. It took them a while as they tried doing stuff to my magic band and then decided because no lights came on it might be an issue with the MB reader. So they had someone meet me at the room to use a manual key to let me in. It turns out the batteries in the reader were dead and maintenance would need to come out, they finally showed at 10:47. And guess what? During this whole time I never once thought, man I could make a meth lab quicker! The whole thing was annoying but the good thing is we got 2 anytime FP to use today at MK, so we may finally meet Anna and Elsa!

If you ever see me on Twitter, you may as well start looking for the 4 horsemen.  

You're one of those, whatchacallit, "optimists" aren't ya?
Nothing yet.

Assuming it is November 2015 they still have 30 days of which I'm sure they'll use them all before anybody sees WiFi.
