  1. As people have previously posted here and on numerous FB groups, everyone knows the rules before they arrive, or at the very least when they check in. If they choose to ignore the rules and get reprimanded I have no sympathy for them. Do the cart and exercising mask rules make sense? Maybe, maybe not but it’s Disney’s property and Disney’s rules and if you can’t abide, don’t go.
  2. We just came back from a Halloween stay. Do to some issues we mostly stayed at our site, but on one of our wanderings, I did hear a CM on a golf cart tell a passing guest on a golf cart to put on his mask. I saw maybe 95 to 99% compliance on adults and kids.
  3. I know this is minor compared to the 15,000 + employees getting laid off in FL. No More “A WHOLE CAN?!?” Kitchen Sink Orders No Longer Get Special Treatment from Cast Members at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is famous for its Kitchen Sink Sundae, which Cast Members would announce to the entire restaurant by a raucous display of yelling, sirens, and clapping. Even when the restaurant reopened in June, the tradition continued—with Cast Members performing in face masks. However, after careful review of health & s
  4. I got an email on 10/8 from Walt Disney World Reservations. You might want to check your spam/junk folder. I followed the instructions. Basically you are agreeing to an amendment to your payment plan contract. I also got a letter in the mail last week saying the same thing. I thought I missed something in the email, but when I tried to follow the link in the letter it said I had already done the amendment.
  5. Auto parts stores (or Amazon) will carry a wide range of polishing compounds in various "grits" like sandpaper ratings. I would try the toothpaste first if they aren't really deep.
  6. Complete article https://www.sfgate.com/disneyland/article/mineral-king-ski-resort-disney-failed-project-15662462.php Disney's failed attempt to build a massive ski resort in the California wilderness It’s never quite made sense that the Country Bear Jamboree debuted in Disney World, located in muggy Florida, a state not particularly known for furry brown bears. But the ensemble of musical bears wasn’t meant for Disney World at all. They were destined, once upon a time, for a stunning alpine-style resort tucked deep in California’s Sequoia National Park. For almost two decad
  7. Did you try some plastic polish, or even some non gel type tooth paste?
  8. My daughter just sent me an Instagram post. Disney is taking ownership of all Morocco Pavilion businesses. I had seen that the quick serve had $$ trouble and closed up a few weeks ago.
  9. It's over 100 I think a lot of the DMVs have run out of wall space to display them all. And some of them are just terrible graphics on the plates.
  10. I sure there will more 50th Anniversary crap collectables than you could ever dream of. They are going to have to make up a years worth of lost revenue somehow!
  11. Disney World announces special Florida license plate to celebrate 50th anniversary Disney may have canceled many of the big plans it had lined up for Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, but that hasn’t stopped the resort – Florida’s largest single-site employer – from moving forward with many of its smaller plans for the golden anniversary. The biggest news so far for collectors and devotees of all things Mouse is that Disney has announced a specialty Florida license plate. In car-centric Florida, specialty plates are a big deal, with drivers statewide able to choose from more than 1o
  12. We went to MK this past Saturday, and EPCOT on Sunday. The parks definitely were not as crowded as a normal October date, especially EPCOT with Food and Wine going on. We didn't really have any issued social distancing. You just have to watch where you're walking and try to anticipate where there will be a clear spot to get past people. MK we walked around Adventure Land and Frontier Land and caught the Country Bear Show. Most of the ride times we pretty high on the MDE wait time. Not sure if that was where all the people were. It was hot and we didn't feel like wait
  13. Depending when you go (holidays or over a weekend) the 2000 loop can be party central. Large groups come in and take over multiple sites. They will use one site just for a kitchen set up with 3 or 4 EZ Ups and multiple tables. They let the kids run wild. But saying that, last time we were in 1500, a scout group took over 3 sites across the street from us. Multiple cars and utility trailers on the sites along with a camp kitchen. They set up maybe 10 - 15 tents along the canal behind the sites. Must've been about 50 people, but they were pretty quiet and well behaved.
  14. Disney has been slowly chipping away what made their brand special for years. People that have been going to the parks and the fort for a long time always post remember when this ..... They are just accelerating it now. Even people that have only been going for a few years are seeing major changes. Has Disney been loosing $$? Yes they have, but so has about 70% of the companies and population. But I bet they are sitting on plenty of reserve funds that could comfortably take them past this mess without screwing over the workers and guests!
  15. I see that the former buffets are all going family style like Hoop De Doo. There was a FB review about the Biergarten's new family style, and they liked it. Since everything is brought to the table, they tried items they wouldn't have chosen on the buffet line.
  16. If you purchase a one day ticket, you don't have to show ID do you? If he tries to come back we will see how good the Mouse's security cameras are and if they use facial recognition!
  17. Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a permit for pole mounted fixtures in a temporary cast parking area at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. This may indicate that construction at the neighboring Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge may resume. Rumors of the lodge’s cancellation have been circulating since June, but with this new permit and a “general construction” permit filed last month, the project may be moving forward. The permit contracts Carter Electric, Inc. to “furnish and install pole mounted fixtures for temporary cast parking area” at 4400 Big Pine Road, Disney’s Fort Wilder
  18. Still catering to the big spenders... How many projects have been put on hold that all park goers could enjoy without paying extra? Mary Poppins in EPCOT was cut at the moment. A new permit suggests that the next step in construction will soon commence for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World. A permit was recently filed with the state of Florida by Walt Disney Imagineering to install “set items” for the future resort hotel. The work will be carried out by InterAmerica Stage, Inc., whose work focuses on “stage rigging, stage machinery and specialty theatrical eq
  19. Discovery Island Trespasser Accepts Plea Deal, Banned From WDW For Life Back in May, an individual made his way to Walt Disney World’s long-abandoned Discovery Island and was able to camp there for about a week before being caught, and has accepted a plea deal in his trespassing case What’s Happening: Fans of Walt Disney World trespassing cases may recall during the height of the COVID-19 lockdown when the parks of the Walt Disney World Resort were still closed, one individual was able to get to the long-closed Discovery Island in the middle of Bay Lake and camp out for s
  20. All too true. I worked part time in the Geek Squad at Best Buy for 15 years and it really changed over the years. Partially because they wiped out all of their competition. When I started we were up against Circuit City, Sears, Comp USA, Gateway stores and a few others that were tops in their fields. When I got hired, I was told if we knew that a competitor had an item that we didn't carry, and would be a better fit for the customer, we should refer them to that store. That was good customer service. As we wiped out the competition we doubled down on pushing ser
  21. The rich get richer, and it's always on the backs of the "little" people. The compassionate corporations are few and far between and are a dying breed.
