A plumbing failure at Disney’s Boardwalk Villas caused a water leak that resulted in flooding and drywall damage to multiple resort rooms. The leak happened between the second and third floors of the Disney Vacation Club Villas around 4am on Saturday, February 20th. According to a post in a Disney Vacation Club Facebook group, sources stated that over 2 inches of standing water flooded multiple villas. The leak triggered the resort’s fire alarm system and emergency services quickly arrived at the scene. The since-deleted Facebook post included images of seemingly severe ceiling damag

I have never seen anyone giving out treats other than on their own or adjacent shared site. Pretty sure even pre covid it wouldn't have been allowed. The cabins will get some visitors, but not like the big loops down around the meadow area.

2020, you were not "allowed" to hand out anything to trick or treaters. That being said, plenty or sites had tables set up with an assortment of goodies that people could help themselves. CMs were patrolling and discouraging anyone from actually handing out treats. Who knows what 2021 will bring.

Last year, James Rosemergy at TouringPlans.com attempted to become a “Disney Cyborg” by having a chip meant to duplicate the functions of a MagicBand implanted in his arm. Though his experiment did not work, he did interview a guest who had a custom chip created from a pre-existing MagicBand surgically implanted in her arm and was successfully able to use it as a MagicBand. In response to these experiments, Disney has added a label to MagicBand boxes warning users not to do this. The sticker on the inside of a MagicBand box reads “Not for internal or subdermal use.”

Previously, the Disney P

https://www.insider.com/why-you-shouldnt-visit-disney-world-now-2021-2 Long article but has some good information for people that aren't that Disney savvy. As a result, both Disney diehards and fans ready for their first visit are left wondering if they should plan a Disney World vacation in 2021. Unfortunately, the answer is no if you're hoping to experience a magical, once-in-a-lifetime trip this year. Among the unavailable staples are character meet-and-greets, evening firework displays, daily parades, and live shows like Fantasmic. These changes would

Trail is totally torn up and looks wider. What’s really troubling is the paved part ends a little past the new barn. At that point the old trail is totally gone, been all leveled out, and it’s all grass for quite a ways until the torn up part starts.

2000 loop has been graveled ! 800 loop is closed, saw piles of gravel in front of some of the sites.

It was closed due to the Reflections construction. There was a truck crossing the path not sure where it was heading. Until they figure out that mess I doubt it’ll reopen

When did they move the Fort and Lodge boat landings at MK? Now they are near the monorail and share the entrance to the new GF walkway. Last time we took a boat, the launch was closer to the ferry dock.

Took a walk around part of the Fort. 1500 and 1600 loops have a lot of utility flags and paint all over the roads and dirt. Lots of utility flags along the main roads. Looks like they are planning on doing some digging.

Currently at the Fort. Want to give some updates. Bus between the Fort and Wilderness lodge is running on the access road. Walking trail is still closed and is torn up in a couple of places. Liberty Belle is back in the Rivers of America and operating. There is an article in the Orlando Sentinel about its trip last night getting back. I can’t read it because I’ve visited their site too many times. 2000 loop at the Fort was pretty deserted yesterday Thursday 2/4. Filling up today. Not sure if they are reading their faxes. I asked for 2025, then 2027. Checked

Though not as close, it's something... The pandemic has sped up some of the closures within the Crossroads Plaza, with Gooding’s, Sweet Tomatoes, and other businesses permanently closing last year. Others are moving to new locations nearby. Just east of the 535 interchange is Daryl Carter Parkway, currently only a bridge over I-4, but it will see a full interchange built in the coming years. This is the new overpass from Palm Parkway across I-4 over to the outlet mall. That’s where O-Town West is located. Previously envisioned as a luxury development with Vegas-style amenities

More weekday dining closures are taking place at Magic Kingdom. See which new location joins the list and find out how this will affect your trip. As holiday crowds die down and weekdays become less busy than weekends, Disney is closing certain restaurants. Just recently, we learned that The Lunching Pad would be closed during the week. The quick-service restaurant serves up hot dogs, pretzels, snacks, and more over in Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland Terrace also joins The Lunching Pad in reducing hours during the weekdays. Beginning February 1, it will not be open for Guests

https://www.orlandoweekly.com/orlando/walt-disney-worlds-recently-announced-alterations-interruptions-and-outright-extinctions/Content?oid=28704946 Some new news, some old, and some speculations. Only two weeks ago, I was sharing optimistic news about upcoming additions to Orlando's attractions. Well, the theme park gods giveth, and the theme park gods taketh away. Here's the latest scoop on some recently announced alterations, interruptions and outright extinctions at the Walt Disney World Resort. An iconic opening-day Magic Kingdom attraction shut down last week

For an interesting slant on camping, watch the Jimmy Kimmel interview with Dax Sheppard from Monday 1/25. Insights on mileage and traveling with water weight. Also Jimmy Kimmel purchased a camper.

Or just take a little laundry detergent with you, smear it on all your clothes and hop in a shower at a comfort station

Keep it up without the A's and maybe you can be famous.... Written in 1939, Ernest Vincent Wright's Gadsby is a 50,000 word novel—and there’s not an "E" in sight (at least not once you get past the author's name or the introduction, in which Wright mentions how people often told him that such a feat was impossible). But Gadsby sticks to its own rules admirably. If there are abbreviations used, they are only ones that still would not contain the letter "E" if written out in full. In order to make sure he didn't accidentally cheat, Wright reportedly tied down the letter "E" on his ty

They will probably come out dirtier than they were going in!

A portion from the Haunted mansion past the raft ride was drained 1n 2018 sometime around labor Day. At least that's when we saw it drained.

If you pack carefully, you should be able to ride in on a Disney Spring bus, then just set up in an area behind a site like a lot of the people have been doing lately. Free camping!

Long article worth reading, but I'm just posting some snips https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2021/01/19/planning-a-disney-vacation-may-soon-get-easier-and-for-that-you-can-thank-the-pandemic-and-the-influencers-really Disney has been rumored to be looking at a reservation-style system for years. In late 2015, Orlando Weekly’s Seth Kubersky noted that the (new at that time) security checkpoints found at the entrance of Orlando-based theme parks was just the start of a multi-step process to better handle safety and crowd levels. Those comments have proven prop

I guess if you've never been to the Fort or infrequently, you wouldn't catch a lot of his errors.

Sounds like the old A thru E ticket books!
