This may seem like an odd question to ask here since this site is for guests' questions about trips and not about corporate decisions, but I am curious and thought that someone here might know. Disney promotes Disney cruise lines and Disney timeshare in the theme parks but never Adventures by...

I am no travel agent, but I am seeking to think of companies with organized tours that might fit your needs. I remember that I was getting messages about travel sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute while I was subscribing to Smithsonian magazine. I didn't pay attention at the time because I...

Thank you for your reply Kwhyte. I see that you wrote it some time ago, but I just saw it a few seconds ago. I have thought of being a Disney travel agent, but keeping up with the latest Disney attractions is just too expensive on disability. The one thing that I have thought of is whether...

I am not going to Halloween Horror Nights this year because I have been getting messages from Universal Orlando as a new annual pass-holder that I am not comfortable with. I am a little freaked out that this year's HHN is based upon The Purge, described as being based upon a 24-hour period...

I had to renew my license for my Braille software for my Internet, but I am back online so maybe my reply isn't too late to help. I took a walk to the Cabana Bay area. I would estimate my time to be about 30 minutes. I knew where I was going because I have walked around here enough to have...

I was never in the college program, but I had co-workers who were. Apparently there is one class for those in the Disney College Program which always has a waiting list. This has me dying to know why. Has anyone here taken the Disney Heritage class? What goes on in there to make it so popular?

I can't believe how much I used to hang out on this web site after I returned from a couple of vacations to Disney World, and I never expected to be posting here as a former cast member. The pain of leaving Disney on medical leave and not being allowed to return to work just about felt like it...

I am sorry that no one has apparently been able to help you. I could have, but I have not been coming to this site much lately because failing the physical exam to return to work at Disney World from medical leave just totally broke my heart. I know that we are all going to be disabled unless...

I have been away from Disboards for quite a while as we have been doing other sorts of tourist attractions lately, but we decided to return to Disney World a couple of days ago on Tuesday. My husband wanted to go to Port Orleans for a meal because we had so enjoyed our dinner there during our...

Xixo, I am still catching up on replies here; but you bring up an excellent point about the bathrooms. I have long wished that the housing industry would take note of the fact that the number of bathrooms in a house really is more important than the number of bedrooms. People who don't mind...

I am still reading replies here because I had no idea that this topic would get so many replies. However, your comment and another person's because he had the cheap father-in-law reminds me of a radio host who was talking about charging guests for Thanksgiving because he was tired of the...

This morning I was listening to the radio, and the hosts were talking about how much they did not like to have their friends stay in the homes. One of them said "Friends don't stay with friends". I thought this over and wondered how many people view guests as pests. Do you? I have never had...

I logged into disboards for the first time today since nearly a year ago and was surprised to see that my screen name still worked so imagine my surprise to see this thread still active. I left this site after I left employment at Walt Disney World on medical leave because my heart ached so...

I am wondering here whether someone can help me with some research that I am doing on medical tourism. Since health care has been in the news so heavily in the United States for years now while the number of U.S. citizens traveling outside their homeland to obtain medical care has been...

Funny you should mention this. I am following a blog written by a flight attendant. She is a female but one of her columns is about gay male flight attendants. The gay men who agreed to write for her didn't get back to her about it so she got a heterosexual former male flight attendant to...

I was just surfing around the Internet one day and came upon a couple of threads about gay men and the hospitality industry. I just found one of them again under Yahoo Answers. Yet on both sites the question was why there are so many gay men in the hospitality industry with one claiming that...

Thak you Gina. That looks lovely. I shall see whether they want reservations. The kitchen is always good, especially for people with a kid.

I don't know much about Sea World because I have only been there twice, and that was because I got in free with a Universal Studios badge. However, I help people arrange trips to Orlando, not as a professional travel agent but just for fun. I now have a family whom I met online that will be...

You are so right. One of my former supervisors at another company went to work at Disney right behind me. He used to make a six-figure salary and traveled all over the world and belonged to Disney Vacation Club. Now he works at Disney as a bellhop. Does this make him lesser than he used to...

I have been reading these posts a little bit at a time since the hard drive on my computer fried leaving me with only public computers for Internet so I don't know how much what I am thinking has already been said, but being high income has never made anybody high class. I have worked with the...
