The area inside the gates, but outside the train station is actually a very calm, nice way to watch the fireworks. Good view too, except for the castle.

At least it's not a beating heart.....

I think other hotels, apartments, and retail are going in there also.  maybe not by Disney.

And also why things change, that's what the masses want/ask for.

Well I guess you will never be a mommy blogger.
This new behemoth is mandatory to have, talk about, and lord over all your poorer acquaintances.
And of course you need 2 or 3 different colors to coordinate with your Prada outfits.

We were there in 99 or 2000 and they had one. They were swimming in the lake to the beach and running to get their bikes in the grass by the windmill.

That explains what the arrows were that we saw.

Talked to my friend this weekend.  As it stands now, the Settlement area is not changing.  There were considerations of rebuilding the Settlement, but the direction right now is to keep it as is and upgrade as they can.  Ideally, he said it would be best to rebuild due to the age of the facilities, but as of now that won't be happening.  The horse barn is being relocated and Mickey's BYBBQ is going.  The new resort is about 4 years away.

Are they going to search toyhaulers? I'm sneaking mine in as an emotional support cart

Agree 100%.  But it boggles my mind that as the price increases so do the crowds?  People must really be going into debt just to visit Disney World.  I tell my wife it is the Facebook effect.  Everybody needs to go or they are a bad parent, because "everybody else" is going.

The economy is strong. I know a lot of small business owners that are doing really well. A lot of people have disposable income. It's a big change from 9 years ago.  

Good job. It's on a gate to the left as you walk past Pizzafari heading in to Pandora.

You're right too.

Me too. We really enjoyed being together as a married couple instead of together as parents. 
SW will always be my first love. We can't fly Frontier with Adam because of the allergy policy and them serving nuts. Like I said Frontier got the job done, but they won't be my first choice. 
It was, way too short but good times!

1st tied....  Our daughter hates Frontier too and of course we're a little prejudiced since our son is a Capt w SW..😏

Thank you! We may go tonight 

^THIS EXACTLY^

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.  

I have been trying in my head to mechanically figure out how it could have ended up in that position and was really having a hard time with it. This explains the missing piece. Thanks!

Ate there Sunday.  Kept wishing I could see her smiling face one more time.  Happy retirement!
 

I'm glad she finally gets to enjoy her much deserved retirement, but she really will be missed.

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.  

I think you'll be fine.  We've done it at other resorts in previous years with no issues.  The best we've done was to make reservations at the Wave in the Contemporary and then walk over to the Magic Kingdom gates.  The views are great.

Duh...I’m stupid.   Lol

LOL....and she has a certain, special, something.  

“Really big.... tracts of Land?”
