Plus on this gondola we won't have to try to navigate it while partially inebriated AND wearing ski boots and lugging all our equipment with us. This will be a cake walk.

True dat...

So we have some permits that indicate work in the general area of the international gateway, for what is assumed to be a station. Whether confirmed or not.
We have rumors of stuff happening the England pavilion. We have rumors of things happening on the spine of Epcot. Also rumors of a resort expansion(or new resort) in that general area.
Has anyone seen anything permitting wise that would indicate concretely where the station would be? From that we might be able to speculate what other work may or may not make sense.

Just seems to me, if you are going through that work, it would make sense that the design works with near future projects. All the other stops seem to make sense, with the exception of the boardwalk parking lot....which we don't know if it's station where you can load/unload or just a turn.

Working at a ski resort for many, many years. I developed a style of walking that helped me bob and weave to avoid being smacked by skis on shoulders etc. It was like being in a 3 stooges film.

Walking around the base is still the best place to wear your ski helmet.

I have found no evidence that they'll be serving alcohol on them either. Yes it's reliable technology.
Hope that covers most of it.

THAT'S out of the blue.

Bah, snow sports enthusiasts have mastered this art for decades.

I know you are a fellow snow sporter - but in my experience as a skier I will never ever drink on the slopes. I did it once, and it is ridiculously dangerous. In my experience skiers/boarders will drink like fiends - but only AFTER the days activities.

This comment makes me want to show up for the gondola in full gear. Shorts and a T-shirt - but then ski boots, gloves, helmet skis and poles. Wonder how they would respond.

The shirt will fit better if you take the hanger out BEFORE you put it on

They'd say nothing and try to sell you a ticket to after hours magic and a cabana

I wasn't much for it, but the bars in the resort sold a steady stream of alcohol from 10:45am onward. Those folks hit the slopes. I'm not saying they were out of control drunk, but they did enjoy a drink or two. Our course the area is known as the Bad Liver Valley, so there is a bit of reputation there.

I would consider it if I lived closer and could go on some random day in January when it was in the 40's and could easily get my stuff there. However, I do not feel the gag would be worth it to fly all my ski stuff from Michigan lol.

And we get in trouble for talking about DVC and capacity.....

Since this will connect to DVC you can talk about that but I'd prefer if we steer clear of anything else unrelated.

The IG station is in an area that wouldn't require a permit from the South Florida Water Management District and these are were we normally get diagrams from. With that said, the station will be somewhere in this location.

Does this mean the beer garden for perpetual food and wine festival is never coming back?

Any garden can be a beer garden if you try hard enough!

I don't know where the beer garden was, but I can't imagine it was in this space since it is outside the gate.

Imagine it...it was...15 years Ago

Food and wine was getting old then

Since F&W just recently had it's 20th anniversary, hard to believe it was "getting old" 15 years ago.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

Believe it...what has changed?
