Hmm, wonder why they haven't figured out that ridiculous contractor insurance costs = no contractors?


Hi Stacey! Welcome home! We missed ya!

same reason they haven't figured out that ridiculous malpractice insurance rates for OB/gyn's = less OB/gyn's

Homeowners insurance is nothing compared to contractors insurance. Those poor people are stuck dealing with me and it is very expense for home builders. If I remember correctly there was an emergency order that allowed contractors to come in from other states to make emergency repairs, but that will probably expire before you finally get over here.

So THAT'S how you do it!!

I wasn't really thinking about taking on another construction situation when we got down there. That kind of operation takes knowing contacts, who does what and how good, are things I don't know about the subs down there.


I'm thinking about getting an appraisal license, which is something I can do by myself.....

Huh? You don't want to work at Disney? You could work at the Living Seas and take ppl down on dives!!

KiKipug talks about her work and everyone is happy. I mention mine and I'm just one of those rip off insurance guys. Someday I need to go into the business of selling beer than everyone would love me!!!

Hey, Jim, you don't set the insurance rates! Or do you?

Karen, Kevin needs a JOB, not a hobby! They probably have so many dive masters that want that Living Seas job, I bet the divers have to pay WDW to get it!

hope you aren't referring to my post. of course ridiculous OB/gyn insurance rates are caused by ridiculous frivolous lawsuits.

Okay, good come back. I'll make sure you get tanks with air in them.

I have a company underwriter coming to visit on 6/6. She does not golf, but has just been certified so I'm taking her to Devil's Den.

Hey Jim, it could be worse. One mention that I am a phone technician usually gets the " I hate that company" spiel!!!

Yes, I've read through that thread and even have it bookmarked. I just thought maybe some of my soon-to-be fellow cruisers had an opinion on FW. Not that anyone on the OTHER thread would be biased about FW .

Well, I am new to this thread and to cruising but an old timer at WDW FW.....We first camped in 1977 (or earlier?). It was my first campiong experience and I love it --- and have back-packed, hiked and camped all over the US because of such a great time (but nothing is like Disney).

What type of camping will you be doing? They have one loop that they still reserve for tents and very small campers - the only way to go - think cruise - the opposite. The facilities are top notch and clean. I find there are way to many of the large RVs (sorry folks) but it is now a way of life. But then I do not travel with DDs and DSs and might change my mind quickly if I did.

There is a lot to do - nightly campfires, nightly movies, renting boats, canoes, you can rent bikes or you can bring your own. There is a buffet - sing-along and Mickey's Back Yard BBQ. But check out the Hoop - De - Doo - it may be the longest running show at the world....ok what else - I could go on forever. Folk are friendly - checkout the regulars - like campground hosts they have mailboxes etc.

It is a hoot to be at FW during Halloween with the decorations and also at Christmas times....bring lights, tinsel - Santa.....

One of the best is that you can take the boats to the Kingdom - Wilderness Lodge and to the Contemprary. We take long walks to WL - of course we got lost and were pulled over by the D water cops, what a scream. We had guests and they never stop telling that story.

There is also a carriage ride - which can be very romatic with a glass of teh bubbly. Our rider took off through the group campground where the little kids were - they adored the horse...but I promised I would never tell on him...Hope this does not count....

OK signing off before I write a book......

Camping PS

When you guys are in the water - we will be hiking the Mexican pyramids if I can time it right!

 

[dobelover]

I agree with everything chip&dale&fun said about FW. I have tented, rv'd and now stay in the cabins. They even have pet loops now so you can legally bring your dog or cat along.

Now I am jealous. I love backpacking. Being here in Florida there is only limited packing and not great at that. We have to run up to GA to get anything worth while. DS and I like to go, but he is out of the country this summer so I am not sure if I will even make it.

Please tell more about the Mexican Pyramids!!

Ok I m pretty sure that is the first those words have ever been together in the same sentence!

See! You wait long enough, and ANYTHING is possible!!

 

[ohiominnie]

anyone following the PC blog? Did you see the bit about the guy ordering T-shirts and having them Fed-ex'd to Curacao? They say:

Disney Cruise—$8,000
Logo T Shirt—-Sold Out
Waiting in Line
Sleeping on Floor
PRICELESS


HA! Also, read that Taylor Mason is onboard!! Cool!!! They should get him for the Double Scoop cruise!!! He seems to show up on all of the "special" cruises!

 

[justmestace]

Did you also see that DCL was not amused by the shirts and that rumor has it he was asked to leave the ship? He didn't leave. I can't imagine them asking him to leave.
But I don't blame them for not being amused.
