    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Maybe Disney will have a LL at guest relations that you pay extra for to get your refund. Of course, you would have to pay say $10 to get your $7 refund.

    Which decade did you first visit WDW?

    My parents came to Florida in the late 80s to visit my mother's sister. My mother loved Disney so much (especially Small World) that she gave me, my wife, and two daughters a trip to Disney in the early 90's as a Christmas present. Wife and I now own two homes here less than 8 miles from...

    News Smoking locations updated at the Magic Kingdom

    Not picking on you at all but why have their windows down? Don't smokers like to breath second hand smoke? Maybe they find second hand smoke offensive. Maybe they prefer fresh clean air instead.

    Hurricane Irma

    When I was a kid growing up in Minneapolis I hated the 30 day stretches in the winter that did not get above 0 degrees. I'll take the heat any day!

    Hurricane Irma

    From what I have heard the HOA, by law, can not stop you from installing solar. The HOA can't stop you from having a satellite dish either.

    Hurricane Irma

    Good idea is not to park next to a tree if you know a hurricane is coming. There are many spaces in the open behind that vehicle.

    Hurricane Irma

    We had a pine tree blow over to a 30-35 degree angle from vertical in a windstorm. I pulled it up straight again using a winch and a neighboring tree. It has done just fine. The roots of that tree were not exposed to the air but the ground was just raised. I would think that some of the...

    Hurricane Irma

    The way it is right now at 2am Orlando time. Our home is just to the left out of this screen capture. Keep your heads down and hang on!

    Hurricane Irma

    Many thanks for your and others concerns. Homes can be replaced but lives can not. To all the people of Florida and especially those who are in Ft. Meyers, Tampa, and points north right now, keep safe. We will all be thinking about you.
