Here at POR Now!

[Hawk]

We are here now at POR. The weather has been great.

There is a new policy for rental cars regarding filling up prior to return. Dollar wants a receipt of fill up within a 10 mile radius of MCO or they will charge 6.75/gallon.

POR food court is still down, but the current set-up is tolerable. They seem to be watching the mug situation. The past couple of days we have seen a cm next to the stations; maybe because the temporary buffet is close by.

The finger scan at the parks is new as well. Only the tip of the index finger is necessary. I will post more later and answer any questions.

What do you mean by the mug situation? You can still buy the refillables, cant you?

Thanks for the info on Dollar. Any ideas on a good place to fill up??

 

[cfknight]

I agree. I hope the food court is done by may.

You can still buy refillable mugs. There is a CM around the drink station who appears to be watching the mug refill. We saw a person with one of those Huge half gallon Coke jugs filling it and was directed to the mug purchase station, yet there was a person filling a huge mug from repeated refills of a resort mug.

I think if you take a right at the boggy creek road rather than a left at the airport you will come to a gas station. I am going to try it on Saturday when my son returns to the airport.

Went to see fireworks only at MK the other night which were suppose to be at 7PM. We got there at 6:40 and they started!

Gas is about 2.27 onsite and cheaper than many places offsite.

They are having many problems with finger scans today at the parks. They are just waiving people by - no problems with fastpass.

ESPN the Week-End is setting up at MGM.

Bass-Ale is great!

Two more weeks to go.
