DIS Dads DDC XV - We put the "FUN" in dysfunctional! Christopher's thread...

[wasnotafan]

On a day sooner than expected. No church today because of a water main break so I am trying to get ahead on the weeks work. Brought DD in to the office so she can finally finish the Christmas thank you notes. Took longer than expected but at least they are almost finished.

Ok, Mr Disney. What other resorts only have 2 bus stops?

Well let's see:

All-Stars - each has 1 actual stop, but they generally share buses between the 3 different resorts, i.e. stopping at more than just one of the 3 resorts

Animal Kingdom Lodge - stops at both Kidani Village & Jambo House - but typically are direct route buses to their destination

Beach Club - 1 stop - typically shared with Yacht Club, and stops at Boardwalk, Swan & Dolphin

Boardwalk - 1 stop - typically shared with Swan, Dolphin, Yacht & Beach Clubs

Caribbean Beach - 6 stops within the resort

Contemporary/Bay Lake Tower - 1 stop, typically shared with Grand Floridian, Polynesian, and/or Wilderness Lodge

Coronado Springs - 4 stops within the resort

Ft Wilderness - 2 actual ingress/egress stops - 11 internal resort stops

Grand Floridian - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Polynesian and/or Wilderness Lodge

Old Key West - 5 stops within the resort

Polynesian - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Grand Floridian and/or Wilderness Lodge

POP Century - 1 stop.

Port Orleans - 4 stops on the Riverside section, 1 stop on the FQ section

Saratoga Springs/Treehouses - 5 stops within the main part of SSR, 2 stops at THV - but THV's must transfer to the main SSR for external transportation

Wilderness Lodge - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Grand Floridian and/or Polynesian

Yacht Club - 1 stop - typically shared with Beach Club, and stops at Boardwalk, Swan & Dolphin

Then you also have Shades of Green, which has 1 stop and their own bus transportation

And then you have the Hotel Plaza resorts (Downtown Disney Area hotels), which have 1 stop at all 7 hotels, but 2 different lines - one line for the Hilton, Holiday Inn, Royal Plaza & Doubletree; and another line for the Best Western, Wyndham and Buena Vista Palace.

Just checking in for the day.... Hate to admit it but my sniffle is quickly turning into a full-fledged cold. Grr.... Add that to the week in football (I am an LSU and Saints fan) and I am ready for a new week.

Oh, and only 9 days 'til I am WDW!

 

[wasnotafan]

I try to keep up as well.. We're just too old...

...
1) My 7 & 8 year old are far more aware of pop music than I am.
2) My 7 & 8 year old are far more aware of pop music than I would hope they would be.
3) I now have this strange urge to yell at kids on my lawn.

You young pups are still wet behind the years!

Well let's see:

6 - All-Stars - each has 1 actual stop, but they generally share buses between the 3 different resorts, i.e. stopping at more than just one of the 3 resorts

2 - Animal Kingdom Lodge - stops at both Kidani Village & Jambo House - but typically are direct route buses to their destination

13? - Ft Wilderness - 2 actual ingress/egress stops - 11 internal resort stops

4 - Grand Floridian - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Polynesian and/or Wilderness Lodge

5 - Old Key West - 5 stops within the resort

4 - Polynesian - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Grand Floridian and/or Wilderness Lodge

2 - POP Century - 1 stop and AoA.

5 - Port Orleans - 4 stops on the Riverside section, 1 stop on the FQ section

7 - Saratoga Springs/Treehouses - 5 stops within the main part of SSR, 2 stops at THV - but THV's must transfer to the main SSR for external transportation

4 - Wilderness Lodge - 1 stop - typically shared with Contemporary, Grand Floridian and/or Polynesian

So, it looks like AKL and POP have or will have 2 stops only. Shade of Green has 1, but, I can't stay there. AKL is nice but way out of the way for other parks. So Pop is still good for me.

Go Ravens!

Hey guys, we are warming up to freezing here in Indy.

Looking forward to the Giants/Packers game as well as IU vs. the Buckeyes

So you can see why the original master plan for POP, which included the originally proposed Legendary Years, soon to be the new Art of Animation Resort - will most likely include AoA in their bus system. As AoA opens, until it reaches its capacity, the plan is to have POP buses stop at AoA. At that point they'll determine whether or not it will receive its own system.

Other than Pop, the only other resort We stayed at was POFQ and it was a pain with 5 stops.

Hour and a half is long enough without a post.

I'm starting to get kinda concerned about the group. This is the slowest it's bein in at lease 2 or 3 weeks?????


Wonder what is up with the dis severs on here? They seem to be crawling more often than not.

yeah, we love POFQ but that is one of it's few downsides. Wish there was another monorail loop that went further out.

All-Stars - each has 1 actual stop...

OK, impressive but can you name all the LINX stops?

 

[stopher1]

No.

 

[stopher1]

No.

I know there's one at the TTC, and by DTD, maybe 2 at DTD - but I'm not sure about any others.

My guess is that lots of folks are out doing stuff and away from their computers. I've been sitting in front of mine the last 2 days working on various things for my business, so checking here every little bit hasn't been too difficult. I'm sure once Monday rolls around and guys go back to work... it'll pick up in here.

That's what I have been doing most of the day. Just sitting down to catch up on some games.
