    I imagine pricing will be determined in real time in the app using algorithms based on crowd size and location, date, time, and whether Chapek has met his quota triggering bonus and restricted stock grants.

    That's a bold assumption as to who I was referring to as "polite company". 😁

    I've heard of Fort Fiends being called many things over the years, but polite company isn't one of them.

    One of those diseases we aren't supposed to mention in polite company?

    That is a totally new concept for a manufacture, I actually have been able to add suggestions to 2 brands and have seen our suggestions put into their builds. Alliance is doing well but they are still having small issues, but with all I have read so far they are trying their best to improve on their issues. I know one of their reps and got to visit with him at one of their earlier shows and seeing we are friends he did say that we should not give up what we have now for theirs.....YET

    I bet they will get the rotisserie chickens from Sam’s Club for $4.99.  Toss them in a skillet with some corn and charge $49 per person.

    I will get to the area July 18th and I have a new lens and microphone for my DSLR to work on recording the shows. Looking forward to it.

    fladogfan aka Gretchen reacted to Tri-Circle-D in Do we have to leave?   
    You were visiting the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu.  I think they were too lazy to figure out how to explain how you arrived on another planet at the edge of another galaxy simply by walking down a path. 
    My daughters disagree with me that they are intentionally bypassing the elaborate pre-show scenes on Rise of the Resistance to increase capacity.  But whatever the reason, it’s bad show to rush guests into a giant room full of stormtroopers with no explanation of where you are or how you got there.  It ruins the ride. The fact that this is still frequently happening is just more evidence of how greedy and lazy Disney management has become.

    fladogfan aka Gretchen reacted to Tri-Circle-D in College Program starts back in June   
    This is not great news for anyone. 
    Note this key sentence: “Those students whose programs ended early or were suspended last year due to COVID-19 are being asked to reapply.”
    There are at least 20 former castmembers who worked in management positions for the DCP (about 80% of the management crew) who were canned by Disney who have not been rehired- or even been contacted with the prospect of being rehired.  I know one of them personally.  They also have not rehired 100+ other CM’s who worked screening and training the applicants.
    What they do have is a few thousand college kids who made the DCP cut but got sent home early or told not to come last year.  They were already interviewed and screened for employment and hired.  Those are the only kids who might be allowed to come back. Disney wants a few hundred of them to come and bust their humps all summer because they can pay them less than the regular castmembers that they are choosing not to rehire. Those kids won’t get some of the perks that DCP kids used to get like special events and parties because everyone in that department got fired too.
    Great news for shareholders.  Not even close to good news for anyone else.

    They will be the first to hold Disney responsible when something goes wrong.

    Port Canaveral on Friday became the first U.S. port to coordinate COVID-19 vaccine distribution to cruise ship crew members, in advance of a possible return to cruising in July.

    Along with the fact that there is NO enforcement of the KEEP RIGHT law.  Far too many people drive below the posted limit in the left lane whether it be on I-4, 27, 192 or any multi-lane road with a vast majority on their phones so people weave to pass.   I also agree with Andrew this state has the WORST planning and zoning that I have ever encountered not only at the State level, but also at the County level.

    Haha....yes.   
    The race was always to be first for a trip report and then the bet was, how long before the post was hijacked 
     
    Yes!  We stayed there in 2018 and had the females (I'm guessing as no horns) take residency right behind our rig.  It was great!!

    I bet all of you familiar with DIT's infatuation with the downward evolution of the cinnamon bun thought you had heard the last of it. Just don't bring up Disney.

    Say what you want.  Blame it on COVID.  Blame it on greedy executives.  Blame it on politicians.  But I'm here to settle the argument.  Blame for the decline of Disney can be placed with one group, and one group only. 
    The bakers.  My proof?

    I rest my case.

    The corruption and malfeasance has been from the Governor’s office and Legislature more than it has been from local governments. So we now have horrible roads, schools, and our environment is a disaster. But at least we don’t have a State income tax, and you can go wherever you want without a mask. Paradise.

    All of the above plus unmitigated government corruption and malfeasance. It is absolutely shocking to see the amount of unchecked development that has been allowed along the I-4 corridor with no improvement in infrastructure or provision for the astronomical traffic that logically flows from the unchecked development.
    But if you have enough cash and know the right crooked politicians, you can build a toll road going to nowhere on or near land that you own and then build all kinds of residential units that will dump out onto the overcrowded interstates.
