    Rides breaking down at alarming rate

    Thanks for taking the time to share this. Heckuva way to run a crowded premium vacation destination. Of course many of the more popular attractions have the worst statistics but hey Astro Orbiter is up and running.

    Rides breaking down at alarming rate

    If they are testing something at the track then a glance at the delay data shows the test is a failure. I suspect more riders evacuated from that attraction than any other over the last few years. Test Track tests patience more than any other parameter. Bad maintenance increases general...

    What is the one thing disneyworld would never sell?

    We were in Denver when the restaurant industry still had remaining quarantine restrictions and many were closed. I looked on the internet for a good Sunday morning brunch and we drove to a good prospect. Parked the car and got into a long line on the sidewalk. After about 15 minutes a women...

    Tropical threat?? Leaving in 9 days...

    I have never been through a hurricane in Florida. Can stop light outages and electrical outages continue for an extended period after Ian blows through or is that portion of the Orlando infrastructure reasonably well hurricane proofed?

    Why is California wine so overrated?

    I had a Scottish colleague that held a single malt tasting party. He included one that was aged in former pickled herring casks. Indescribably bad smell and even worst taste. My advice is never smell or taste any alcohol aged in this manner. You would do much better drinking alcohol based...

    My daughters love it but not good nutritionally so we split a portion between three of us when the mood strikes (once a week or so).

    Thank you for this cold hard dose of reality that questions my reading competence and shows me to be a dunderhead. :)

    Greatest food created by man?

    And I thought there was universal consensus that Spam was the absolute apex of man's culinary accomplishments. It's just so darn versatile.

    Why were American space adventure novels so bland in the 2000s?

    You have to have the proper genetics with MAOA-L to appreciate the ambrosia for the soul of gung-ho military science fiction written at any time. There is no better back drop to follow the thoughts and actions of an honorable man than sci fi (okay, maybe with the exception of the French...

    Has anyone taken Halcion before dental work?

    When one of my daughters was three or four she had a couple cavities and she was a real fighter in the dental chair. It was a pediatric dental practice and the dentist advised anesthesia and grind many of her baby teeth down and cap them and thus take care of any baby teeth problems in one go...

    Is it a scalpel? It doesn't fell like finely honed surgical steel to me.

    My Disney brain is broken

    I was thinking about this a few hours before reading your post. I used to understand the system and actually looked forward to planning our trip. I thought well maybe a month before we visit I will try to figure something out. It seems to me that they have penalized planners by including "day...

    Another fight and no one to stop it.

    I boarded a commercial flight one time one time with capacity around 150 outside the US. This was a line cutting battle to the front culture. In any event this was a reserved seating flight. I was the second passenger to board and the first passenger to board actually sat in my assigned seat...

    Another fight and no one to stop it.

    Another way to look at it is as a standard safety issue. I think all of us have noticed an increase in general queue stress through the years at WDW. You now notice more verbal or passive physical resistance to people rejoining or joining their group at a forward line location. When you have...
