Flood at CR last night

[edcrbnsoul]

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Guests at a Walt Disney World hotel were forced to evacuate their rooms after part of the hotel flooded Monday night.


It happened at Disney's Contemporary Resort, which is next to the Magic Kingdom, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported.

A water main apparently broke on the 12th floor, sending water pouring down to the fifth floor. About 80 rooms were flooded, but there's no word on how bad the damage was.

Some guests were allowed back in their rooms. Others were moved to other parts of the hotel.

they had the same problem back in April, too. A water main let go, and flooded out the floors below. Sounds like an ongoing thing.

Geez, I was going to say that maybe this would move up the time table for a complete overhaul of this resort until you said its an ongoing problem. Apparently that didn't motivate them. I thought that once that Shades stopped using the Garden Wings they were going to undergo a renovation?

Yikes. I'm glad no one got hurt.

I have an image of Catastrophe Canyon in my head...

I'm sure it was much less dramatic, though.

Maybe they should just incorporate these water "break" into the CR's "theming". It can be the Waterfall Resort! Just imagine how beautiful it would be to see the water pouring out of one side of the CR tower at the top! The monorail could go right through!

You should send that idea off to the management.

Now Ed.....how did you know about this? Slipping away from the ship again?

The "backside of waterfalls" view is $80 a night more. And it's not available on the last night of your stay

Another idea--project images of classic Disney movies on the water "look mommy, the Little Mermaid is on our bathroom floor!"
