DW saw that on the news, and I wish I had a picture of the look on her face.

We stayed there a few years ago. It freaked her out just a little.

I didn't realize how popular sinkholes were and how huge they get. Scary crap!!

I bet you could get one of those Timeshares at a slight discount.

In 2010 I drove through there as we had done some shopping at the Publix in front of the development.  We were renting a house just down the road.  Just imagine if the sinkhole had opened up underneath the Publix, or under the interstate.  Or even worse, under Spaceship Earth!  Wow.  Everyone is very fortunate that no one was hurt, and that in the greater scheme of things it was just a timeshare building and not something much more disruptive. 

 

Does anyone know if Disney does any kind of geological monitoring of the ground under their parks and resorts for this sort of thing?  Or if you even CAN monitor, or does it just one day, out of the blue, go kapoot?  Just imagine Bay Lake Tower or Toy Story Mania all of a sudden falling into a hole.

Just imagine Main Street Bakery falling into a hole, you wouldnt be able to get one of their awesome cinnamon rolls.

That is truly a horrifying thought.  Hopefully it would just fall into the utilidor and they could still just hand them up to you.

But would they then smell of pork because they use those underground passages to get the pork shank things to Gaston's which I've heard also sells a pseudo-cinnamon roll knock off.

Don't go back to the Fort smelling like pork in the late afternoon or evening hours.  The Fort bears may enjoy your scent.

And especially stay away from the pool area.  The freeloaders might think you their guest of honor at the bbq party they holding under the shelter where they are taking up every table.

They might stick an apple in your mouth and start spinning you over a fire.

There is something that you Mensa rejects are overlooking, there is no utilidor anywhere near Gastons, or directly underneath the MSB.

And that's the only knock you have against the last several posts?  :rofl2:

Yup, that's it.

Long live MSB Gastons cinnamon rolls.

BTW, is it a roll or a bun?

[AC in A2......Aaron 693]

In my world buns are what you put hot dogs or hamburgers on or.....nevermind.

[DaveInTN 3,247]

Cinnamon rolls are typically homemade, ooie gooey, wonderful pastry treats, while Cinnamon Buns are pre-made, dried out, hockey puck tasting orbs of crap.  Oh, and slightly maple flavored.  And pork.  They have a hint of pork.   

[alexwyattmommy 181]

Buns are those things that they serve at fast food and pretend they are pastries.  Nasty things reheated and then left sitting under a hot lamp until someone buys them.  Eww, shudder at the thought of them.
