Now really... who's going to pay for this? But but but, its ECO FRIENDLY!!!

no one wants to hear that it's ECO friendly, they have to take a page out of Disney's book and say it was "due to guest feedback"

Wow, that's an awesome site, thanks for sharing!

But in the end, I feel a bit bad for the airlines... they are trying (and failing) to find creative ways to make up the higher cost of fuel.

Great website that sidestep!

Anyone run across any other ways we are being nickeled & dimed to death. Disney or even non-Disney??

That's why I've used Southwest for the past 3 trips to WDW. Price is right & no extra bag charges. They could cut back on the nuts and soda.

I see this kind of good in a way.

People only pay for items they use.

If the give me a discount, I would pay for my own soda and snacks.

YMMV

If you are going to pay for warm nuts, I'd suggest you see a specialist.

I truly dont know that it could be sorted out...or explained...or that either should be done.

Consider it a "moment in time".

....When I'm more than I thought I could be
....When all of my dreams
.....Are a heart beat away
.....And the answers are all up to me....


Scuse me - I have something *sniff* in my eye.....*sniff*

Do you know someone?

 

[DisneyKevin]

Do you know someone?

A professional nut warmer?

I could point you in the right direction.

[SIZE=+1]and.... you were expecting something else?[/SIZE]

This Liberace souvenir from 1975 is just so... wacky, that I had to have it. The dish has a built in warming device to keep your nuts warm.

Decorated with rhinestones of course!
Isn't this just the wackiest thing?​
