    Gretchen needs to do the same thing Mo. 
    I want to be in the living room and start the fire in the fireplace, seldom do we have weather to justify a nice wood fire and tonight is a good rainy cool one.  BUT here I sit with the Quest spot tracker page on one screen and the other jumping between fortfiends, the dog sled forum, and even facebook tonight.  And I was just heading to LR when I thought, let me check FF.  LOL

    7) The location:
    Walt Disney world resort is located in the heart of Florida: Orlando. Actually, the address is Lake Buena Vista, FL 
     
     
    6) The environment:
    Walt Disney world has earned the nickname of being the “Happiest Place on Earth.” As far as working environments go, that sounds pretty hard to beat. The upscale, high-energy, theme park setting is wonderful for any employee. One of my personal favorite parts of working here is the fact that everyday will be new and another exciting experience with a whole new group of people… which brings me to the next point.  This person is obviously  not talking about back stage jobs.
     
    .
     
     
    2) The benefits:
    Apart from basic job benefits including medical insurance, ample vacation time,  2 weeks, after a year, when I worked WDW and retirement plans, the rewards (both mental and physical) go “to infinity and beyond.” Every Walt Disney world employee receives free admission to the parks for anytime they want. Except for the block out days.  Tho maybe if it's just the CM going in, they are allowed to enter any time?  Even when it comes to the entertainment industry they will never lay you off.  Excuse me?  I know this is not true.They will do whatever they can to keep you employed. When Disney can no longer use someone for a face character, (Princesses, Gaston, etc.), they will still keep them employed doing other entertainment duties.

    fladogfan aka Gretchen reacted to ImDownWithDisney in Someone please 'splain this FP+ crap to me   
    I just checked the website. I can't make my fp+ choices yet, because I haven't purchased our annual passes yet.  So the rat is forcing me to spend $$ I wasnt ready to do just to preplan rides that I will have no clue when we will go to each park.This system seriously SMB. I'm tempted to cancel the trip and tell disney to eat it. This type of planning goes against just about everything we like about vacation.

    Carol,
     
    That doesn't sound very "magical". Its crap like this why I don't like the system. I'm not a planner. I would rather show up early and grab a paper FP. oh well

    We are quite fond of our spike, too. It sits on our mantle next to a Disney Traditions collectible (All Aboard - Mickey driving a patchwork train engine). This week I added something else to the display- a small jar of Fort sand. Our tent was pretty damp when we packed it up to come home. We spread it out to dry and then swept it off. Hmmmm..... A nice little pile of sand remained. What's a sappy Fiend to do? Bottle it up and keep it to remind me of home!

    We recently took in a fifth cat. We really didn't want to but he seemed to choose us and I've been feeding him for close to a year, he started coming inside and then I took him to get fixed with the idea that he would go back outside. Well there were some issues with the neutering and he has to be inside for at least 3-4 weeks, so he is ours. He slept in our bed last night, curled up to my husband, so he is ours, I couldn't turn him away now. 
    Lou, you are a wonderful human being.

    I wish at every one of their hopefully few shows, they are asked "Where in Canada do you come from?"

    Sadly your right.
    My father was a psychiatrist and worked at Camarillo State hospital after retiring from the army and he would occasionally bring home
    One of the "kids". (That's what he called the patients/residences at the hospital) for a BBQ, or holiday meal. One kid was named Pete, (he had Down syndrome), he was a teenager ( I was 7 or the first time he came to our home. For the next 10+ years he was at our house several times a year.
    He was like family. but I do remember some ignorant people make some mean remarks about him. Not only did it hurt him but it hurt me.
    And unfortunately now being married to a Special Ed teacher/director I still see it. The difference now is I'm big enough to say something to the jerks. And I do.

    I absolutely LOVE Carousel of Progress. I will even say it is my favorite attraction in all of the "World". Yes, I wish they would do something new with it. I'm even thinking instead of updating the final scene, they could add an additional scene and make load and unload in the same theater. Perhaps add another 30 seconds to each scene so that unload/load has a bit more time. Yes, they are doing so much more with technology nowadays, but this attraction is one of the last few around that he was personally involved in, and that makes it special to me.

    I don't get it.  
     
    COP is a classic.  
     
    Is nothing sacred in this world anymore?  
     
    If Walt is ever thawed, he's going to think you all suck.
