 They are not going to set up any magic bands scanners anywhere. Because it’s not against the rules for non-resort guests to use the buses. So basically no one stealing anything. 

As was noted before, the key word is guest.  Freeloaders are not guests. There are not exchanging goods or compensation for the services they are stealing. Disney is for profit. Justify it any way you want, just because Disney does not enforce it, does not forgive the commerce inequity.  Period.

No need for MB scanners on bus at Disney springs. They just setup one pedestrian choke point that everyone has to pass to get to the buses. Setup one scanner. I'm sure it wouldn't get all those choosing to steal, but would cut down a lot, with minimal investment.

Would be nice to setup a group of real Fort customers to get to the pavilions at butt crack dawn - 30 minutes and claim them. Im betting that if some of the thieves had their free loading plans ruined, word would get around.

Been there for 3 new years in the last 6. They staff up the rangers and clamp down on a lof.

To me, driving to, and staying at WDW is completely different than staying around / close to WDW. Neither is right or wrong, but Disney spend brings me a smile. There are a great hotels much closer if that's what I want.

Great job and kudos to the author!

Battery disconnect switch is where I always start. Its caught me before.

I pay for what I want. I only go where I get what I pay for. Disney is it for me for know. The calculus differs for all.

I bet it's one of those, "If you have to ask price" you can't afford the service deals

I use the infrared heat gun to check bearingsnat every stop. Since I got the tps, I need something to do. 🙂

That is amazing that did all that setup in the dark. Your boy did better with the tent stakes than I could have. Awesome job!

Good news: it lives! 

Even better news: now I can start cleaning it up and adding the missing new loop. The work continues!

Keeping FF on the forefront of relevancy. Nice work sir.

I am not even close to being a tree hugging hippie.  But after seeing those floating masses of plastic in the ocean, I've made decisions that I previously hadn't considered. Does it make a big difference in the scope of things, nope. But it's a personal choice to do it.  I also appreciate restaurants trying to do the right thing. If the public punishes them, they will have to revert back based on the need for their business to be profitable. We live in a free market.  Not intending to be uncaring, but if they eliminate straws, there should be no special cases. If folks with a disability need them, they could BYOS (bring your own straw). That may also drive solutions that help us all. Change is never easy.

I helped 3 folks last time.  Its always tough to ask if they need help. Dont know if the drivervjust finished a 24 hour marathon and might be tense. Or one of those folks that seem to have a bit too much ego to accept help.

You must have been in a bad spot there are numerous reports on FF of high reliability.

Was on inside of loop. Maybe that was cause.  All my gear is fairly new and all had problems

Brand new shiny roku

Iphone8

Samsung galaxy table

Dell laptop

Was in lot 1417 in March.  Wi-Fi was better than nothing. Occasional drops and throughput lags made roku use difficult.  Did some work via corporate vpn. Was OK, as long as you're not downloading large data sets or video calls.

The Brand of RV you choose isn't as important as the Dealer you choose to purchase and service through.  I've owned 2 brand new campers and each one had issues that needed to be resolved.  The dealer we purchased from was quick to get our camper in and get the issue resolved (Days not Months).  

 

 Completely agree

I know it's just another place to spend money, but I'm happy to see activity at Epcot.

Do they have a big cavern where they gather everyone, then turn out the lights and you can't (well couldn't before the days of cell phone emitting light) see a thing?

They did that at Howe's Caverns in NY back on the 60's when we went on a field trip.

Did it at Mark Twain cave.  Unbelievable what total darkness is.  Can't imagine kids playing in there with just old fashioned lanterns 

Just made my first trip in 42 ft 5th wheel. In my case, bigger is better. The extra 3 slides and 12 feet made for a more relaxing trip. Being able the spread out and relax at the end of a fun day at the parks,made everyone happy.  Everyone is different, and I may change later too, but for now it is absolutely fantastic.

I still have my keychain from Busch gardens Beer school. I was tops in my  class.

What do you mean no pics....I think you are painting p8ctures with words. Nice work 

Bunkhouse units are great!  Enjoy and CONGRATS. 

I booked my plaechold3r cruise 10 months ago. Your videos has me thinking Galveston.  Disney should hire you as social influencer.
