    ftwildernessguy got a reaction from Avatab.... Steve in Is the Great Movie Ride Going to Close Permanently? CONFIRMED   
    This is untrue.  The witch animatronic has broken and imagineers are fixing it with the clever placement of strobe lights.

    Actually, it is the boat transportation from the 3000 loop to MK.   Free to use for 3000 loop guests, of course.

    A similar situation can occur with campers called a "hot skin" situation.  A year or two ago a little kid was electrocuted when he touched the side of the trailer while standing on the ground.  Caused by an electrical short.  I have in my camping gear a small tester that you can pick up at Lowes that will tell you if your trailer is "hot" before you touch it.  It will beep when put near any hot circuit and a light will light.  I use it whenever I hook up to shore power.

    On the first day you should eat at Biergarten.  On the second day, you should try Biergarten.

    Bobby stopped by the house for happy hour.  He said you clowns have to find a hobby and stop listening to rumors.  He did, however, say that the out of date cars will be replaced with hybrids, the attraction will be sponsored by Toyota and each car will be complete with Takata air bags for safety since the non compliant kids keep bumping the cars.  It seems Toyota has a bunch of these airbags as surplus for some reason.

    I took my golden retriever to the mall once.  I didn't have one of them fancy internet vests for him, so I made one out of used napkins from Wendy's.   He blew his cover when all he did was run around smelling people's butts.

    For sure.  I love me some prehistoric dumbo.  I just hope Disney unimagineers have installed enough strobe lights on Avatar to keep the effects going after everything has broken down within the first week.

    Bobby says the lights are to direct drunken dentists to the American Dental Association picnic in the 3000 loop.

    Life is kinetic.  You either change with it or you die.  It's that simple.  I have many wonderful memories of our first trip to the Fort nearly 30 years ago.  It is certainly different today, but if I continuously compare it to that first time, I will be more frustrated than I am anyway.  That's why the 3000 loop exists.  It is the Fort that never was but always will be.

    The smaller the boat the better.  It will increase the wait times and keep the crowds away from the good attractions at AK.  I feel the same way about Star Wars land at Hollywood Studios.  Shorter wait at Buzz.

    Contemporary styling doesn't really fit with the Wilderness Lodge theming, but I suppose it makes perfect sense to the clip board carrying millennials Disney hires to make such decisions.

    Very true, but it's my bed, my recliner and my germs, not somebody else's.  We also have our kitchen, fridge etc.  We can really relax in the FW, something I find very hard to do in any Resort Hotel.

    Bobby says the contract for the gondolas has already been awarded.   Low bidder was the same Yugoslavian company who once manufactured the Yugo.

    Wow.  Freud would have a blast with this.   A true look into Dave's subconscious.

    This is precisely why gondolas are a horrible idea.  Many years ago my family and I were riding this very gondola and a giant ape attacked us.  I seem to remember it being located in central Florida, however.

    ftwildernessguy got a reaction from BradyBzLyn...Mo in Did Disney build Fort Wilderness?   
    There was a camp there with a rustic a cabin, some in the Internet world of Disney have dubbed it "Roy's Cabin" and I have heard that Roy and company stayed there when the World was in its planning stages.  The campground has an interesting history and was part of the original plan Walt had for WDW, but was all but forgotten until much of the construction of the World was well nearing completion.  It was rather hastily built in order to open shortly after the official opening of MK.   The crew had to beg borrow and steal supplies in order to build the campground.  The Settlement area and the lower numbered loops were the original, with the other loops being added later.  Originally, there wasn't even a pool.  Look up the history of Fort Wilderness on YouTube, Internet and various podcasts.
