WDW Annual Passes are Back!
djsamuel replied to BradyBzLyn...Mo's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I'm retiring in December after 41 years of civil service with the Navy. I'll get a few certificates. I am getting a flag flown over our building, but my boss has to pay for that. I didn't ask for one but she is insisting; which is nice of her to do. -
WDW Annual Passes are Back!
djsamuel replied to BradyBzLyn...Mo's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
That is pretty much my wife's feelings. Retired after 17 years and enjoying the benefits. She has no regrets about working for them, just wishes some of the day to day was smoother and management was more consistent. But all in all, she does not regret those years. -

"Skunk Weed" at the Fort?
djsamuel replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Not there in any large amount, to my knowledge. I'm sure somebody brings some but it is probably very rare. -
"Skunk Weed" at the Fort?
djsamuel replied to twiceblessed....nacole's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We are usually there a few times a month and have never smelled that. -
we were told yesterday that the 2000 loop will be closing soon. The 500 loop was just opened. Across the property they are upgrading the electrical system and they've had some scheduled short power outages. But the loops are remaining open during the power upgrades.

The movies are showing each night but if I recall correctly, no campfire or characters. -

Yes, there and at P&Js. We used them this week. -
What happened to the customer service at WDW?
djsamuel replied to h2odivers...Ray's topic in Disney and Fort Construction
Lou, Be sure to get an account on the Okta site to gain access to your comp tickets. Also, you need to send an email to get the snack coupons. Information on Okta HERE. Celebration Dining and Snacks Info HERE -
I really enjoy riding the Skyliner, but they need to get a handle on this problem before somebody gets hurt. I can only imagine the lawsuit should something happen. Disney can't say they didn't know about the problem.

We got off the Skyliner at Epcot yesterday about an hour prior to this happening: https://wdwnt.com/2021/06/breaking-disney-skyliner-has-had-yet-another-accident/

If you don't stand while riding in a ship at the beginning (before walking past the Storm Troopers) then you missed the beginning. There is also a pre-show where Rey appears and speaks.

HOOP DEE DOO Cast called back
djsamuel replied to Grumpy and Grandma's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
I feel the same. I much preferred the breakfast buffet. Of course if they have a good selection for family style, it may be just as good since it will still be all you can eat. I'm wondering how many of the servers will be coming back. Ken is over at Le Cellier and Paulette is a greeter at Jock Lindsay's and apparently really likes it. -
HOOP DEE DOO Cast called back
djsamuel replied to Grumpy and Grandma's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
We were told a few weeks ago by a cast member that they are working on a family style approach to Trails End instead of a buffet. It will be interesting to see how they pull it off. I will really miss the way P&Js is set up now though. -
What is happening? Is FF dying out?
djsamuel replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Trailer Village was one of the best experiences we've had camping. Not fancy, kind of basic and run down. However, the wildlife and the atmosphere was amazing and being so close to the canyon was great. Lots of Elk and Mule deer throughout the campground. -

djsamuel replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Back to the stolen topic, this was at the Trailer Village campground at the Grand Canyon: -
We stopped over there last night and 1500 was open. They are doing work in some loops. The 700 loop is now closed and they are replacing the timber that line the pads. Also, in the 1900 loop (I believe) they are replacing an entire pad with new concrete. That loop is open though. They've done a lot of work as well lately installing 5G.

What is happening? Is FF dying out?
djsamuel replied to Travisma's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Desantis wanted local control when it suited him as a means to avoid a decision on a mask mandate. I thought local control was a good idea. Then he pulled the rug out from everybody when it was politically expedient to do so by telling local governments they cannot enforce the very rules he said they are the best to decide on. He also required bars to incorporate very expensive precautions in order to reopen and then one week later issued a huge "never mind" and told everybody they could fully open. Bar owners were not happy and most continued to adhere to some level of precaution. -

Desantis never had a state wide mask mandate. When he was still of a somewhat sane mind, he said that because Florida was so large, each county should decide if they should mandate masks. Then, he reopened the state, and made the ruling that no county or local government could level any punishment for violating a local mask mandate, persons or businesses. Very hypocritical in the sense that he used local jurisdiction as a means to avoid being the person mandating masks and then turns around and bans the enforcement of any local decisions regarding masks. The only thing that has limited the -

The calendar is the same for both active and retired. Blocked out for everyone. Still waiting for May to show up. -

Even the Facebook groups related to Fort Wilderness have really slowed down. I think the pricing and the difficulty getting reservations while there are so many new RVs has taken some of the appeal away. -
This is what is happening. They are also moving people who are currently back at work all over the place.

Similar to the chicken and waffles at the Grand Floridian Cafe. They are off the menu, but if you ask during breakfast or lunch they will make it for you. Still delicious.
