Bigger question, will it be shut down during storms, lightning, winds?

Exactly!  that's what I've been wondering too.  When we had the gondola in the MK it would stop running for bad weather.  We have had a lot of thunder storms this summer!

Of course with the gondolas flow thru ventilation the same might happen on the ride.

A FB post about a week ago had a picture of similar gondolas/ventilation I think in Vermont going up a mountain.  The poster said they rode it, sweated like crazy and it was only about 75 degrees out.

Waiting to see how hot it's going to be.

So sad!

I agree.

We like to camp at this place.  https://www.portcanaveral.com/Recreation/Jetty-Park-Campground

You get to watch cruise ships coming and going.  The Disney ship often plays a song on their horn.

Yeah... we're honestly at a loss at this point.  

Nacole, have you tried talking with Keystone about the changes you don't like?

Good for Keystone! 

Sounds like Saturn Cars back in the day.  There was something wrong with an early model and Saturn replaced all of them.  Called the owners in and handed them a new set of keys.

One of my friends had another Saturn model  that had many problems and finally she went to pick up her car and she was handed a new set of keys.  She made me laugh when she mentioned having to wash her car,  Saturn always washed our cars after repair!!!

Am I upset about GMC stopping making Saturns?  You bloody well bet I am.  😠 I did luck into a Captiva, supposedly built on the Vue line.  When it's parked next to a Vue all the parts check out as the same.  But now I'm told GMC is no longer making Captivas either   I'm keeping mine till the wheels fall off.  My Saturn had over 300,000 on it.

Anyway Nacole, back to your good news Have a safe trip and you will make the new RV your own also.

That looks so good.

I agree.

Good photos, lots of eagles, sorry only the two whales but cool one was a youngster.

The weather looks very nice.  Did you hear a reason why the groups were smaller?

Guess I've lived in Florida too long, the water tastes OK to me.  But I do notice different tastes in water from other places and just drink them anyway. 

Even the water on the cruise lines is  fine to drink.  I was told that water is processed sea water, true or not, I don't know.

I'll bet that there are Facial Recognition cameras near the entrances and we jut don't see them.  Disney security is probably more prevalent than most of us realize.

Makes sense.

There are so many ways to get in the parks, how do they enforce the ban?

The link doesn't work anymore.

It sure doesn't.  Worked earlier and I saw an airplane with very nice Disney art on it.

I hadn't heard about this either, would have been fun.

If you are up to a bit of a road trip, see if you can find a Blue Beacon Truck Wash

Thanks Carol, looks interesting.  Only 2 in Florida,  Dade City and FT. Pierce.  It sure is a lot less than the ones who come to the Fort.  But....

Just make sure they turn the acid brightener off. It will destroy gel coat.  And no brushes either.  Changing Lanes YouTube channel scratched their entire rig up at blue beacon

  Found their utube video    I think the scratches came from another washer down Miami way.  Interesting couple.

Usually the wash includes the roof too.

Yeah, our roof was seriously neglected as in we didn't touch it at all.

Thanks for this report. 

Did you ever learn why the long wait during the show?  Nice that it was restarted from the beginning tho. 

And at least you and hubby got some shopping in too.

Thanks Grumpy,  Might be more than I'm willing to spend But while we were doing the washing I might have paid that

Thanks Carol.  Looking for Lake Louisa has led to other parks close-ish by.

Any idea how much these detailers charge?

The system is now under adjustment.  I'll check back later.

Bill and I are looking for close to central Florida camp grounds.  We need to do some camping in our RV.  We spent the last two years caring for his Mom and our trips were stopped.  In fact last year Bill informed the WWW they had officially spent more days in the trailer than he had.  We are looking forward to the grand gathering in Tenn. this fall and want to be ready.  So need a few practice runs.

Would be good if Turkey Lake Park allowed dogs, but no

Come on Dad, you know Daisy wants the Minnie Mouse dress, don't you?  Or does she?

Cute video and covered a lot of merchandise.

Beautiful!  Are there rules about collecting some of the rocks from the glacier? 

Have you ever done a sled dog ride?  I have heard of some on glaciers during summer.

The report I read said the family was escorted out of the park and told to leave.  I can't imagine for what charges they could sue Disney.  Park Security turned them over to Anaheim police, who initially didn't arrest anyone because no one wanted to press charges.  Now that the police have seen the video, they are reviewing whether or not they can bring charges based on that.  I hope they do.  I'd think: 'Disturbing the peace, assault and creating a public nuisance' could apply. 

At the least.

Watched again.

Do you think they are trying to do some kind of set up to sue Disney?

The whole bunch of them should have had an escort off property.

Red shirt guy should have been ushered off WDW property and put on a ban.  Jail would be OK also.

I've yet to go on Alaska #1 and I'm probably plastic in the DCL world so it's nice to follow along with your journey.  Beautiful scenery.

LOL I'm probably paper.

Sure looks like a wonderful trip.  Grumpy, have you ever seen a glacier calve?  Think that is the term.
