Thanks for sharing this Gretchen. I think most of us here have had visits to WDW made all the more magical by terrific CMs, and I'm all for a way to give back and help support them now.

Along the same lines I found this...

https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2020/10/04/heres-a-list-of-disney-cast-member-owned-businesses-you-can-support/?fbclid=IwAR1jXHpoTShe3f7zxvsSkb5tuPFOf3bjlJXhlNt7DFcZokcDEk2yza2u5gQ

The one thing I'd caution people when it comes to donations is to make sure you know who you're donating to.  Unfortunately when bad things happen there are always awful people looking to take advantage.  Be sure to do a little homework to make sure your $ is going where you really want it to.

Thanks Mo, i sent this list along to my friend.

Wonder what a wrap does to a cars finish?

if i was the dealer, and I could sell them with the wrap I would.   I bet there a bunch of people that would that would top dollar for a Disney park’s original!

Bet disney doesn't want anyone to make money that way.

There is a lot of bitterness among the fired/laid off cast, i don't think a lot of them will even want to go back to WDW.

I don't know if it is alright to post this here so, if not, take it down.

Some of the let go cast have created a face book page to support each other and to hopefully sell some of their wares/services.

The name of the group is "ear for each other".  It is a public page but only the fired cast are allowed to sell on it. Anyone can buy from it.  We all can comment and buy.   I believe there are cast from both coasts involved.

I think Walt would be very angry and or embarrassed.

Not  surprising  he probably makes less money then her and she did such a good job with training he can do the job.

I have learned he is not that good at the job, the other cast members tried to teach him but .... making less money gets my vote.

Carol, your set-up is still my favorite one.  Looks so peaceful and homey.

My neighbor had heard she is in the laid off list.  30 plus years with WDW!  She will lose her silver pass and insurance.  Maybe she will be hired back.  I hope if people are hired back they will receive their seniority they have already earned.  The kick in the gut for her is a man hired many years after she was, trained by her did not get laid off.

A friend of mine got fired from Universal last week for an infraction that would have only been written up before.  So yes Universal is getting rid of employees in many ways.  Wonder if WDW is doing the same?

Yep. The stickers come off very quickly in the dishwasher. We forgot to read the warning a couple times. 😆

That's too bad.  I'd think they would be attached much better than that, liked baked on.  I like the shape of the mug.

It’s taken a couple accidental trips through the dishwasher since last year but it’s still my favorite.

Did washing it in the dish washer cause problems?

Thanks for the hours info djsamuel and the heads up Tri-Circle-D.

For some reason the link you sent comes up blank for me. I've tried to go there several times on different computers over the past week with no luck.

I was able to see it.  hope it works for you too.

So all these years the only thing we needed to fix the Fort was a pandemic.

Who knew?

That reminds me.  When we were staying at the Fort a couple of weeks ago, they were actually checking magic bands at the pool. 

'bout time.  Another pandemic blessing?

Thank you for sharing your trip.  I am staying close to home and only out for very limited trips, food, meds, doctors.  So your sharing means a lot.  Thanks again.

Couldn't/shouldn't more boats be running?

Turns out we didn't do the Virginia trip and won't be doing this one either.  I'm too afraid of the covid-19 virus.  Just turned 79 last month and I guess I'm in the old age category, well my body is but in my mind I'm about 10 years old.   Still, I'm trying to stay safe, it is boring but this too will pass. someday

oops a mistake, now gone

Even at reduced capacity right now the amount of time to edit each photo and process it would get excessive. They have the same policy for nudity, signs with not allowed language, and any behavior deemed risky. 

Makes sense.  Thanks Jason.

Seems like they could just black out or blur the mask less face.

I hope it was quiet.

Wondering if they are stuck to the inside of the mail box?

 My son had brought a small portable speaker and I let him put on rap music as loud has he could.

Weren't one or two hotels near ESPN delayed for years after 911? 

Seeing your bike come by a camp site must be fun for the campers.  Cool idea.

Our county library has reopened and are delivering books again..  Order then by computer and a few days later there they are sitting on your porch.  I have re-read all the Anne McCaffrey books of Pern that I own.  Now the library is delivering some I have missed.

Sadly Anne passed away a few years ago but her son Todd writes of Pern and I just discovered a Pern book written by Anne's daughter Gigi.
