Nice of you to do that! :)    We don't need them... but thank you for the offer :)

WELCOME and thanks for giving folks a heads up!  :)

I'm pleased to report that I made several on-line changes to a reservation I had over the past weekend, and it ultimately worked.  Each time I made a change, I received an email confirming it.  But, the MDE site reverted back to the original ADR a couple of times when I checked.  The correct and final amendment did ultimately show up and stay, but showing incorrect information could be a problem if you are taking a longer trip and have several ADR's you're trying to keep straight.
Hopefully, the bugs will be worked out.  I do like this option, and it I'll probably end up making more ADR's as a result.

Some of you may not have heard of the guys who wanted to document the Horizons Ride before it was torn down. They started by sneaking in a big bulky video camera to record as they rode in the ride-vehicle, then they slowly figured out that if they were careful not to be seen by any other riders, they could jump out and hide inside the scenes while filming and taking still pictures, then jumping back in to another empty ride-car when they were ready to leave, and just exit the ride like nothing ever happened! 
Their blog detailing their adventures is here:  http://mesaverdetimes.blogspot.com/
This is on the home-page:
 
"....About Us
We're Hoot and Chief. We love Horizons and did our best to document it before it was destroyed. We left our ride vehicles repeatedly and even spent hours crawling around in the guts of the attraction. These are the fruits of our labor for you to enjoy!
!!!IF YOU'RE NEW TO THIS BLOG!!!
The best way to experience it is to start from the first post and read on. You'll find that there's a story here. Try not to stay up too late..."
 

My favorite quote from the article:
"....Sometimes when people go on vacation they forget to pack their manners. Unfortunately this can make for a difficult vacation for the people around them. I think Walt Disney World should institute a time out policy for these rude behaviors—Stitch’s Great Escape would be the perfect spot. Make them spend some time in there..."

Sounds like a tequila induced shenanigans to me. I wonder if the person tried to climb the pyramid after they left the test track?  

That's the beauty of EPCOT.  You can zoom by or go slowly -- either way, you can have a great time.

Ok. I have read all the posts here. Still not seeing it. Is there an actual date in December for the Grand Gathering?
Thanks!
Dave

told my DW and DD about the closing of the Osborne family lights and my DD(10) said we have to go for Christmas. (She takes after her daddy). DW said is this a trick to get us to go to WDW for Christmas? Lol
I do t now how it's going to happen but I'm going to try my hardest to try and make it to WDW for at least a few days to see the lights one last time.
I'll keep y'all informed.
Keep your fingers crossed so I can find affordable airfare and I can talk my DW into it.

Forgot to update, our wait list came thru for Saratoga Springs 12/26-1/2 but are also trying for Old Key West, my 24 year old son is planning like a little kid, and to think he use to say NOT Disney again DAD!!!!!!!!

Either way we will make sure you get in. 

I know we will be at the beach NYE watching fireworks hopefully along with other fiends so join in.

We will be there, the Good Lord willing.

I have my fingers crossed. It all depends on Jason's work. 

I do agree with that but I hate to see it go. It's still a great movie and better then most of what is produced today.

This just moved up in my priority list for our trip this autumn.  I have never been and I do love the Indy movies.  

I watch it every time we go and some times twice. My little girl likes the movies because they remind her of Disney world. If they do rip it out they should at least give us the ride they have in Disney land for Indy.

The Fort is awesome at Christmas! We have been going for several years & love it. When the kids were younger we would go to the parks in Christmas & do s character meal but now we go to Mass at the Contemporary & then eat at a different place at a different resort each time. Yes looping, walking around the fort is great to see all the decorations. Sitting at your site & watching all the decorated golf carts & carriages go by is actually fun! We also love to resort hop & see all the decorations. We now only do about 4 park days & spend the rest at the fort, resort hopping, downtown Disney. I couldn't think of anywhere better to be at Christmas!

I vaguely remember reading that USPS goes to a central facility, no matter what the address, and then gets distributed throughout WDW.
 
Carrier services such as UPS and FedEx go directly to the individual locations.

I've had several things shipped to the Fort when I realized I needed something that wouldn't arrive at home before I left. I've always just put the Fort's address as the delivery address, my name, and arrival date. I've always had the clerk checking me in tell me I had a package waiting.

I'm sure someone will be along soon who can answer better. We have had several things shipped to the Fort with no problem, but all where while we were there. As I understand it though all it takes is the name on the reservation and site number or conformation number (if you haven't checked in yet) and arrival date. Maybe a call ahead to have it noted on your reservation that something will ship and may arrive before you do. Everything we have had shipped has been UPS and have never had any problems. The desk usually calls or leaves a letter at your site saying you have something to pick up.

Packing is so sad.

First... Praise God that Chris is okay!  While I realized that many of the CM's were unnecessary, at least they appeared to care so...kuddos there Disney!
 
Pictures of you two are super cute; again, so glad you got this time together :)
