Kinda surprised Disney hasn't tuned that into an afterhours event or something ... I bet people would pay decent$ to get to climb up the pyramid

They have this package--- but you pay after you climb-- and it includes transportation, a room for the night and breakfast......

Pretty much everything causes cancer, birth defects, etc. in California.

.

Sure am glad I don't live in California!

yeah, but if people aren't able to take things out of context the internet will lose 55% of it's post traffic!

LoL Only 55% ...Hahaha I'll take the over...

California is ridiculously strict (basically if 1 in 100,000 people that are exposed to that level for 70 straight years got cancer they have to have the label) and if you don't you can get fined heavily

If I did the math correctly, that means that if you wear the Magic Band every day for 70 years, your chance of getting cancer due to the exposure increases by 0.001%.

Crossroads shopping center to close for Disney road enhancements

http://wdwnt.com/blog/2016/12/crossroads-shopping-center-closing-disney-road-enhancements/

I'm not sure how WDW News Today got to the conclusion that Crossroads is closing. Their information source (Orlando Sentinel) notes that nothing is set. In fact, the lead line says (emphasis mine): "The Crossroads at Lake Buena Vista, a plaza across the street from Walt Disney World that's a popular destination for tourists, could some day be no more."

I should've read the sentinel article. WDWNT does that a lot that's why I don't like them.

This seems like a big deal in the overall scheme.....must be doing ok on schedule.

Remember--- 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot.....

 

[beer dave]

Don't know where to put this-- but watched the drone show the other night at DS... it was quite impressive from the tech standpoint and also from the theatrical--- I was indulging, though, but the less indulgent people in my group agreed....

I always though it was 78%.

 

[Tigger's ally]

But if you get hungry in line and start eating it

chances are they are selling pizza and breakfast somewhere in that line.

Mark Twain quoted it best. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lies,_damned_lies,_and_statistics

And I work in business and research analytics.

98% of all statistics on the Internet were created by the Russians. The other 7% are fake.

Hmmm 105% huh?
