Ah. that would have been funny if it was you.

Rules at Disney ? ha ha ..... thats funny. Every year there are more and more "special" people who dont think the rules apply to them. After 15 days at the Fort I am convinced that its getting worse. Disney posts rules but wont/cant enforce them. We saw: dogs in tents and pop ups dogs off leash (often) dogs that bark constantly (thankfully far enough away from us) 2 and 3 cars parked on sites, most often on the grass. 14 people on one site (next to us for a week) children driving golf carts (Disney and private) Tent cities in the 1700 loop people trying to get on the bus before we have exite

Mike, are those 2 boston terriers in your avatar ? if so we may have met while you were there. I ran across someone walking two bostons near the 1600 comfort station, one of the bostons didnt care for my boxer.

A lot of companies chose to limit the actions that their employees take for a variety of reasons. Training is expensive, they may opt to use the rangers as spotters or observers and not allow them to act due to the danger and the exposure to injury. Although vehicle fires are not atom splitting events, the potential for injury for someone with no safety equipment and little or no training is very high. Disney IIRC is self insured on a lot of things. Even though there are some very real hazards, vehicle fires are generally not what you see portrayed on TV (I know its shocking that TV is inaccur

My bet would be that for liability reasons they are not allowed to intervene in most circumstances. Also, the pickup truck was likely a command vehicle.

There are also stations behind the Magic kingdom and one behind the McDonalds near The All stars resort. The engine could have come from anywhere on property. The staff van parking in front of the hydrant was classic. I recall hearing that when the new station opened up over near Saratoga that there were not any additional apparatus or personell added, just some shuffling of resources.

At some point I would imagine a decent fix coming along. I know with the GM stuff that the common failures usually get a cost effective repair designed by an individual. Over time the poor engineering reveals itself on every vehicle. My running joke is that engineers think techs have hands the size of an 8 year old girl with the strength of Popeye. I see stuff all the time that could have been so easily done better but totally misses the mark. Unfortunately I only see it getting worse as the Manufacturers farm more work out to subs, they are given design paparmeters and a space to put it in wi

Guns arent allowed at the Fort, even Mickey had to give up his musket.

Book early.... very early, and have a frugal wife who knows she wants to go on another cruise.

I never got the whole "cruise" thing until we took one, now I am hooked. We have another sailing for a 7 day on the books. Just so I didnt have to waste time getting used to the layout, we got exactly the same room on the Fantasy as we did on the Dream......

My guess would be that if they werent supposed to be lubricated then Reese wouldnt sell the grease to put on them. http://www.reeseprod.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid=1200&catID=1240∂=58117 http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Accessories_and_Parts-sf-Weight_Distribution-pc-Lubricant.aspx

If I didnt grease mine the whole thing would chew itself up. My trailer weighs over 10k and the hitch weight is around 1400#

I dont see anywhere that it names a specific vehicle. I do know that GM's oil life monitor uses an algorhythm that assigns a numerical value to a period of run time based on the conditions the engine is running under (at speed or at idle, at operating temp or cold start) then when the values add up to a threshold the light will come on. Personally I think the story paints kind of a simplistic picture of a very complicated issue. I would never reccomend extending change intervals over the manufacturers reccomended miles/hrs unless there was an analysis program in place. Realistically, most peop

we catch a lot of bad injectors using analysis. The Ford 6.0 almost always has at least 2% contamination. detroit says anything under 3% is okay but I have never been able to pin Ford down on a threshold amount.

Lubrication is not to be made light of.
