Yep! I've got a LOT of space on the corkboard for more pins, and two lanyards to fill again! ;)

Nov 7th

Another very nice morning - we got up a bit early, since we had to break camp and get ready to leave early the next day. The sun was out and after a leisurely breakfast we hooked up the...

Thank you! That came from early on in the marriage - I called her office and she didn't answer the phone, so I asked her co-worker if 'my lovely bride' was there. Heard the 'Awwws' clearly, so I've...

November 5th? We went to Universal. I won't go into much detail on that here. It was nice, but... I'm struck by the significant difference between Universal and Disney. Disney is more......

I'm glad - I'm enjoying the reminiscing!

Yawn. We woke early. Got Rise of the Resistance boarding group at 7 AM. Rejoiced briefly, then went back to sleep for a bit. They'd just started allowing you to try to get a boarding group...

Day 3 - Epcot Day 2

Another bright morning. We can see what the appeal is of this area - of course, it's November and we're loving the weather... while the natives are acclimated to the summer...

Day 2 dawned, bright, stiff and painful but blister free. After schoolbread, coffee and enjoying the morning sunshine for a bit, we strung up the lights and banners we'd brought down and the site...

It's been quite a while since we've visited. Son's not wanted to go for a long time, but don't tell him we snuck down, okay? (Besides, he was busy at college.)

We arrived right around 11 - and...

Haven't seen anyone in a rooftop tent... but we were just there this last week and the comfort stations are EXCEEDINGLY clean. We regularly go to Corps of Engineers campgrounds and a local state...

I confirm - the decorations are up at Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom, and in the Animal Kingdom. We did two days at Epcot - didn't see any there at the beginning of last week. (Nov 1st and...

No more than 5-7 degrees off vertical. They tend to get annoyed beyond that. :secret:

Seriously, it kind of depends on the tour. I used to do $5 a head - so for the three of us it'd be $15 to...

I know - but I'm watching and hoping.

Hello!

I'm a retiree - back in January I picked up a couple of 5-day parkhopper passes from the local air base's Travel, Tickets & Tours office. I've already got them linked to our reservations...

Makes sense, when there's no way of telling just how long things are going to be closed.

Here's hoping it'll all be open again soon!

We're planning on visiting in November... but with the Coronavirus delay, I'm wondering if Spaceship Earth's refurb will be delayed. It's my lovely bride's favorite at Epcot, so... ?

I'd like to see them playing catch-up a bit faster.

They've got interesting intellectual property that could be used - Wall-E, for example, in a dark-ride that runs you through the levels of the...

If you're driving down, I'd recommend the Residence Inn at Cape Canaveral. We got in around 2 AM, and they had free parking for the duration of our cruise. Good rooms, good breakfast. If we cruise...

Stagnation's a good term for it.

I'm afraid that's kind of the way I felt the last time I was there. Instead of seeing the wonder, I was more and more seeing the flaws. Rust, needed maintenance,...

Chiming in very late here, but...

Remember that the '7 people capacity' is kind of more marketing fantasy than anything else. Take a REAL good look in that RV before you rent it, and picture...

We went on a Carnival cruise this fall. The attention to detail shown by the maintenance crew was impressive, and the public areas and bathrooms were spotless. No worn paint or varnish allowed,...

And not on a Disney ship, either...

For less than double the price of a 5-day ticket per person, you get room, virtually unlimited food, 4 to 5 star dining experiences, entertainment, AND motion...

And if the civil services collapse, what of the companies that depend on their stability? A fair amount of... well, this isn't the place for an economics/political debate.

We're on the East...

Went to DL back a LONG time ago... (How long? They had the flying saucer ride still going...) :)

California is... iffy. Won't be able to go in the next couple of years, at least. (And with the...

I guess I should have been a bit more specific. :blush:

A refurb doesn't do much for me - Star Tours II isn't going to be much different than the first unless they're shoving in radically new...
