    But headlines about a monorail door falling off get more clicks than headlines about Disney workers removing monorail door to repair it and accidentally dropping it.

    Perhaps not, but they do sometimes ask Probing questions.

    That's really not all that bad when you consider what it costs for a comparable amount of gas at Ohana.

    DaveInTN reacted to Tri-Circle-D in RIP Stan Lee   
    I guess I need to tell my Stan Lee story.
    At the 2015 D23 Expo, we had waited in line for a long time for one of the presentations, only to be told at the last minute that they had miscalculated, and they could not seat us. 
    To make it up to us, they promised us reserved seating at the next presentation. Sure enough, we were ushered in a side door for that one, and placed in a specific row at almost front and center. Several seats at the end of our row had reserved signs on them, and sat empty for the beginning of the presentation. I was seated right next to those seats. 
    About halfway through all the announcements, I saw some movement to my right and saw that there was now one old man seated by himself in one of those reserved seats. I thought nothing of it. 
    Then they came to the part of the presentation when they were going to talk about Hong Kong Disneyland, and they start talking about the new Iron Man attraction that was coming there. Next thing I know, there's a spotlight on the old man, and he's yelling at the stage, then runs up and jumps on the stage, and participates in the presentation. The old man was Stan Lee.  He was 93. God bless him.

    The term "giddyup and go" is offensive appropriation of Cowboy cultural terminology.  Disney is simply doing the right thing by listening to the cowboy population and respecting their social norms.  #yeehawbobisnext

    Happy for her.  But it won't be the same.  Of course, when that resort gets built, it won't be the same anyways.  So I guess she got out at a good time.

    That's one event I plan to steer clear of.  You never know, I might want to run for political office someday.

    Oh, and WELCOME to the site!
    Also, since you have a fairly large rig, you might want to check out the Sites at the Fort app that has all the dimensions and photos of the various sites.

    WDWNT recently reviewed the Bacon Mac n Cheese Spring Rolls in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom.  I have to say, this review was refreshing in its honesty after reading the typically positive reviews on most sites of anything Disney is selling.  However, I'm not sure the author will be invited to the next blogger special event or party after writing stuff like this:

    DaveInTN got a reaction from caveat lector in MK Main Entrance   
    It's a lot better than it was in 2011.  It's primarily, if not all, 4 lane now.  Like Blake said above, go all the way to Vista and turn right into Disney property.  Other than a couple of speed bumps that are a pain with an RV, it's a quick straight shot to the Fort from there.

    I think they have 2 reasonable options to get people into and out of the new resort, noted on the below map.  The least expensive option (in yellow) would seem to be utilizing the WL's existing entrance road, and then forking off onto the bus road.  However, this would add a great deal of additional traffic to that entrance, which wouldn't seem to be ideal. 
    A second option (in purple), would create an entirely new entrance off of Vista Blvd to the east of the existing drainage canal.  The road would run north toward the new resort, possibly joining at some point with the existing road utilized by the purple bus route out past the group camping area.  This would seem more ideal to me, as it would be an exclusive, themed entrance for the new resort.  It wouldn't come into view of either the campground or the Lodge.  Let's face it...Lodge guests don't want to see a bunch of additional cars streaming past their resort.  And the guests of the new resort don't want to drive by a trailer park to get to their fancy hotel room.  Everybody would be happy with this option.  Although it would cost the Mouse more money.  
    I think we'll see how Disney plans on accessing the property for construction purposes fairly soon, and then maybe we'll have an idea of how they plan to have guests access it.  If they punch a new road through off of Vista, then I bet they may ultimately go in that direction for guest access.

    I agree...focusing on a newer movie franchise is a great idea.  This is probably as good a time as any for me to let the cat out of the bag.  Disney has licensed the story of my life to create a new land at Hollywood Studios, to be called 50 Shades of Dave.  
    Let your imaginations run wild on that one.

    My sources tell me they built Spaceship Earth in a way that allows them to roll it out of the park to the far side of the parking lot.  They can do the refurb there, then roll it back into place.

    Back in the 60's when Walt was secretly buying up the land for WDW, if someone from the future had told him that someday they'd be serving booze for breakfast in the Magic Kingdom, he'd have replanted the orange trees, put the land back up for sale, and headed back to California.
