  1. I drove through the Bonnet Creek Pkwy & Vista Blvd intersection today and no road closure sign there.
  2. Looking at news story right now by a mom of an autistic child that says diet has had a noticeable affect. Her doctor agrees and says that a change in diet might help, not cure, 60% of the kids. Very interesting if true.
  3. If it's at the intersection of Vista Blvd & Bonnet Creek it must be new because I drove through there a couple of times on Thursday and didn't notice it. That part of the road is not used by WDW buses and very few guests would need to use it, so maybe an advisory was not needed.
  4. I'll go with you! I LOVE cajun food. If you let me come, 40% off the tab.
  5. Reprint from "The HUB" The parents' names are John and Sara, the children's names are Patricia and Jimmy and the uncle's name is Orville. There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" was the original song for the 1964 World's Fair attraction, but "The Best Time of Your Life" was the song for the Carousel's opening at Disney World in 1975. In 1994, "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" was brought back to the attraction. Show length, 20.75 minutes
  6. I don't know why it is, but we can hear conversations about a third of the way down the bus. People will be whispering and I can hear what they're saying. So watch out what you call the driver. Most of us enjoy talking to the passengers and with a doubt, the best part of the job is the kids. I especially enjoy talking and interacting with them. A few weeks ago at the end of a trip, people were getting off a full bus and I noticed a mom working her way up through the crowd getting off in order to get to me. Turns out her little boy had been looking all over WDW for a toy bus with Mickey in it.
  7. An advisory regarding the closure of Vista Blvd or Vista Rd has not popped up yet. That's a long time for a major bus route to be closed completely . I would think that an advisory would have been issued by now if the road is being closed on the 7th. Did you hear it from an official Disney source? Whenever a bus route is changed, bus drivers get an early warning and I haven't heard anything about it yet. I'll keep checking though.
  8. LEGO Imagination Center at Downtown Disney Marketplace is conducting a renovation project that will increase its overall footprint by nearly 3,500 square-feet and add new LEGO exterior models of favorite Disney characters. Expect to see construction walls in the area. The project is expected to be complete in mid-April, 2011. LEGO Imagination Center will operate in a temporary "pop-up" location between Once Upon A Toy and Earl of Sandwich. Three buildings in Town Square are covered by printed tarps. Saratoga Springs is installing a new pool at the Paddock. It will be three times as large as th
  9. This is our 7 year old, 10lb Silky Terrier Buddy. Silky Terriers are a cross between a Yorkie and Australian Terrier. Lexi's bigger half cousin. Doesn't like most other dogs which is a characteristic of the Silkys but likes people. He would stay out all day and hunt for FL lizards all day if we let him.
  10. I'm a little surprised about the traffic comment. I don't find it to be an issue from PO to MK. You were lucky as twenty minutes is the goal. Disney expects and requires that drivers go above and beyond when they can. If he hadn't offered and was reported, he'd be talked to. If he was the BW floater bus, he was just doing his job, take you to your resort. WDW Transportation tries to take care of stragglers. If he told you he was heading to the barn, it was a line. There is no barn. Last shift drivers drop the bus off for washing & cleaning and another driver takes that same bus to the
  11. See a PO refurbishment update "Around the World" in the "WDW and Disney Park Discussions"
  12. POR to MK is no more than 10 minutes, less than 5 miles.
  13. I was napping. I had been lugging people around all day on a bus that had some guy's name on the sides at a place that had the same name. I'd probably flunk the test anyways.
  14. I estimate that I've been to WDW 2500 times, so if Al can't answer a question, I probably can't either.
  15. It's like fine wine, gets better with age. I mean the TR, not you Lisa. Well you are getting better too, but not because your older. Never mind.
  16. Very very funny. Nice job. TCD has his work cut out for him.
  17. These are things that are going on property wide. They are all official and not rumors. The list is updated daily in red. LEGO Imagination Center at Downtown Disney Marketplace is preparing for an extensive renovation project that will increase its overall footprint by nearly 3,500 square-feet and add new LEGO exterior models of favorite Disney characters. Expect to see construction walls in the area starting January 27, 2011. The project is expected to be complete in mid-April, 2011.

  18. I have no clue what any of their stuff is or what I had, but it was good, whatever it was.
  19. Jay & Paula, wasn't that a singing duo from the 50s. Not that I would know that mind you. TnBob would though. Welcome, and we have one more local too.
  20. I was concierge at the GF and of course I'd recommend it and make ADRs all the time, but do you believe it, I've never tried it. Gutta do it.
  21. Been there a couple of times and I agree with you. But it is different.
  22. Who's going, me. When, when there's a Fiend there.
  23. Been there. IMO, it's just ok, a little over rated.
  24. Unfortunately it does happen from time to time. Hopefully he got some enjoyment. GKTW would not able to to their fine work without the support of all the local wish organizations around the country. It's a team effort.
