I was one of very few people wearing a mask anytime I was indoors during my 9 day trip I just returned home from, I'm hoping it was enough to keep me healthy.

I hope you're on the mend soon.

thanks, i'm feeling much better, still a little sick but not as bad as i have been.

Does it help that it’s a drink that comes with a bamboo back scratcher?

Not quite understanding how severe this is. It sounds like it only applies in situations that aren't emergencies. Does having somebody else make the call cause a critical delay?

Reedy Creek emergency services has been understaffed for quite some time. The union has been asking Disney for more hires and they've been turned down time and again due to budget.

I'm sure there is a debate as to the appropriate level of staffing for Reedy Creek. I have no doubt that the union wants more staff, while management wants to keep costs down. I'm just not sure which side is "right" on this. Perhaps both?

Has it been mentioned anywhere what time tickets go on sale Thursday for Mickey's not so scary Halloween party for resort guests? I'm central time if that makes a difference. I did try to chat with the cast member and we all know how uninformed they are sometimes but their response was we haven't been told yet but phone lines open at 7 every day.

I read a story awhile back about how responder responsibilities at WDW have increased significantly the past ten years or so (mostly in terms of hotel and DVC buildings, as well as the expansion of DTD into Disney Springs but also new lands in the parks that increased crowds + the Skyliner) but the number of responders has not kept up.

PLAY Pavilion Remains Paused at EPCOT​

Walking by the venue shows construction walls up, a pathway to the Pavilion removed, and no visible work. We haven’t seen any exterior work in over a year and Disney continued their silence on the project even when announcing major updates to previously announced projects recently.

I mean, if anybody could, right? I'm sure he's working with some of his existing music as well. No doubt it will be amazing!

This is just a little weird, for when we obtained the 5/24 registration there was an email that stated all registrations were filled. Did Disney hold some back?

Trailer:

It's been quite a while since I saw Avatar, but this one seems way more PG than the original. Hopefully its not "The way of the Watered-Down"

It's just the teaser trailer. I would expect it will be PG-13 like the first one, though the first one really isn't all that intense.
