News Round Up 2016

Well they could have slapped some paint on it while it was on the ground, what the?

That's what I was thinking. Is that a current photo? Did they dismantle the whole thing just to clean it up?

Not to bash you rteez, but don't just repeat what the media is saying. It is not an anti-gay bill. It just says that pastors(for example) are not required to perform a ceremony that is against their religious beliefs.

Yeah, how dare you post a news article on your news thread.

He's not an editor, he just shares the news. sheesh.

I'm not sure if that's a current picture. It's supposed to be brand new track as far as I know.

More importantly, where has LOL been? So many posts about price increases, etc. That's his wheel house!

Did they get to him?

Nothing good will come out of having this discussion here.

I think he's at WDW right now, unless I misunderstood the dates.

I think it's very possible at Disneyland. At MK I'm not so sure because management hates shutting down rides at MK especially a ride like that which is always busy.

You talking about speedway? I can't believe they still use those CO producing cars. I can't stand in line for them .... I don't see how the CM's can work there.

We cal them the stinky cars.

HaHa I doubt that with all the rhetoric about using wallets to stop the madness and them not deserving his money. Hopefully nothing bad happened.

Mickeys not so scary Halloween party dates.

http://www.wdwmagic.com/events/mick...ed-for-2016-and-details-of-costume-policy.htm

I was hoping costumes would still be allowed. It sounds like the guidelines really haven't changed much.

No he still goes - not quite willing to put his money where is mouth is...though he claims he doesn't go as often.

Yeah - looks like they are going to do a more extensive security check of you if you are wearing a complicated/bulky costume, and also following the "no weapons" rule. I never thought they would shut down the costumes for the party.

Actually it "allows faith-based organizations to not hire or provide services to those who “violate such faith-based organization’s sincerely held religious belief."

Which is considerably broader than just allowing churches not to marry gay couples. They already actually have that particular right. In fact it veers into the territory of discriminatory hiring practices. Bad all round.

I did not take a position on the issue at all. My point was it is not an anti-gay law. The media manipulates public opinion by only reporting what they want to report.

That's funny. DH does amateur autoracing and loves the smell at the SpeedwayIt doesn't really bother me. Being around race cars and 2-stroke scooters a lot, I am used to smelly vehicles.

Agree...that's some pretty blue water...not the typical water around the lake. Is this a man-made area that they made to look like a "spring"? Anyone know?

Disnet Parks released a video about how they drained that part of the lake and made the blue water Springs. So I think they're man made.

It looks like they added dates to the Halloween party. I'll be on site September 1-8 and wasn't expecting a party. Now if the price is right, I may stroll on over and be there for the first party of the year.
