Hollywood Studios Name Change?
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Travisma's topic in Disney Rumors Board
I still call it MGM most of the time, well it usually comes out as MGMHollywhateveritiscalled like pleasureisldowntownspringsyouknow I'm more interested in knowing if that survey with those names listed was a legitimate Disney survey and who was smoking what when they wrote it? -
Nice looking trailer. I like that floorplan and is the one we'd get if we ever go with a 5th wheel. Did you get the residential fridge? I'd be interested in now how you like while traveling. They seem to be the new thing in trailers, but I guess I'm old school and don't want to give up my gas/electric fridge.

Site Size Wheelchair Access
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Pirateghostabc's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
Like Dave said the larger boats to the MK can take wheelchairs. Unless something has changed since June they do not use ramps on them so there can be a little bump going up or down. They usually have had us stand back and wait till the boat loads before putting the scooter on. Boats I would say are the faster/easier way of getting to the MK. -
They just need to get on Amazon and order a couple more strobe lights and "no one will know there is anything broken or missing"

Sorry to hear about the A Fib, hoping the meds work and they can wean you off of them. My uncle has been having issues with A Fib for over 10 years. Seems like he spent more time out than in, so I know it can be a pain especially with all the blood thinners, meds and cardioversions. They finally did a catheter ablation which worked for a year and then another and (fingers crossed) he hasn't had any problems since, going on 2 years now.

Reservations for Dec. 2018
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to jlf's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
A lot of people do, I know we have called in for weekend only reservations, but it was a pain. I had searched the app and it wouldn't let me book just the weekend but would allow it if I booked the whole week. After about an hour on the phone a CM booked the whole week then had to call a supervisor or someone to take the days off we didn't want. It was a pain and I couldn't see trying to do it for more than one weekend. Maybe there's a trick we don't know about, or are travel agents able to book fewer days? I remember in the past being able to just book weekends when they were available. -
Dole whip banana split (not at Disney)
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Beckers's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
Yum that looks great! I'm surprised Disney doesn't snatch up that idea, although the price would probably be 50.00+ for it. -
Reservations for Dec. 2018
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to jlf's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
We never had a problem booking the first week or two of December including weekends up until this past year. I'm not sure if it's that they are actually booked or the reservation system. -
Site Size Wheelchair Access
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Pirateghostabc's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
If you have slide outs on the motorhome I would check into getting a premium site, however that aren't always in the budget. With slides and the lift out it might be tight to maneuver past the lift on the concrete in a wheelchair if needed. They lift might come down on the edge of the concrete where the crushed Coquina starts. I'd definitely check out the app if you can. But like Dave and Carol said I would fax with what your needs are and the size of your rv and set up, clearance you need and such rather then requesting a specific site. -
Gondola System coming?
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Katman1356...Jason's topic in Disney Rumors Board
They already do for the boats. Im not sure what how they handle the monorails but I would think the gondola's will probably be the same. -
Well at least the stuff will be going to need families and not for profits instead of getting sold or something. I wonder what they do with expensive items though, jewelry cameras and such. It would be interesting to know how much stuff like that gets found and turned in and how much gets reclaimed.

Seems like there have been a lot of discounts in 2017/2018. Maybe I just haven't paid attention in the last few years because we've had annual passes but seems like since they raised annual passes last and introduced the tiered pricing a lot more discounts have come out for Florida residents and now Canadians.

Trader Sams Question
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to WrigleysWagon's topic in WDW and Disney Park Discussions
We took my cousin back in June he was 11. We did go right when they opened since we were killing time between having lunch at Kona Cafe and heading to Port Orleans to see Bob. He enjoyed it, I have to say I had more fun the night we went in later but that was probably the company and fact I got to drink. -
August at the Fort and WDW
Cortezcapt (Derek) replied to Campingdad's topic in General Camping Discussion and Questions
August can be pretty hot and humid and rainy. When we have gone during the summer we hit the parks in the evening and/or morning and hung out around the Fort in the heat of the day. If it came down to going in August or not at all I'd go in August. Just be prepared to sweat. Lots of water and sunscreen. -
Three trips to Disney can make a year good!

Your window display pictures came out great.
