I Think his star has dimmed a little...for multiple reasons

I have no doubt that this has plenty to do with what's going on in his personal life.
Also - it's not like he's generating hits like he had been.
I'd also say that the fate of Alice 2 had more to do with the mediocrity of the first Alice and the derivative nature of the second story than him - but it surely rested on his shoulders.

I haven't seen if Brady is going to DL or WDW yet.

I think neither - when he got his trophy, he announced he was going home...big emphasis on home...

Perfect...and it has the "fab 5" with daisy swapped for Pluto...so that's one of the best groups there...and it's basically Boma's food with more core American breakfast items mixed
In.

They also have Krispy Kreme donut holes by the hundreds...they get swarmed though so you'll have to casually kick a couple kids
To get some...business as usual

We may have to give that a try in December...Boma is my favorite breakfast...toss in some characters and we'll be a happy group.

Correct as I posted earlier it's James White (On Wisconsin) at MK today.

They were the same drones disney used at Disney springs this Christmas.

Here's a link about the drones...confirms the Disney connection.

Walt Disney World Monorail Train Control System autopilot will be running on all three beams all day starting Tuesday. This is the plan unless technical issues arise, then they will switch back over to legacy. Monorail midday closures and modified schedules will still be happening to further test and tweak system programming, as well as other maintenance.

Does this new system mean there won't be monorail drivers anymore?

The driver will still be in the cabin just not actually driving.

Easy job for them then. Will probably get a bit boring.

Hard flooring is very "hip" right now. We did our entire downstairs in Laminate (Pergo) last year, and are looking at doing the upstairs. We want carpet in the bedrooms, but the installer mentioned. "Everybody is doing hardwood throughout the house nowadays." I am sure the same is being looked at from a hotel point of view.

Personally, I don't much care for it, but it probably does wear slightly better and in the damp Florida weather it might eliminate the problems with hotels getting musty quickly.

Around here, the new vinyl flooring that is put down just like laminate is the rage. We put it in my daughters house with heat strips under it and it has been there for just over a year with a big dog running on it and no scratches at all. Thinking that is our next floor. Wife has hinted at it already.

wooo! more budget cuts and ride closures!

I have plank flooring and I hate it...

I've been pounding my paws for "multiple" decades...why do I want to do that when I'm looking for ice cream?

Somebody's getting slippers for Xmas this year!

Uggs, please?

I love the feel of fresh baby's wool on my feet...

First piece of track for Slinky Dog Coaster is now in place.

First piece of track for Slinky Dog Coaster is now in place.

How cool would it be if they were able to design a ride vehicle that mimicked an actual slinky dog. Picture sitting in the vehicle on the track, then the front part takes off from you. it gets 25 - 50 ft ahead of you and then you are launched forward to catch up with it. It then does that through the whole ride.

But I guess getting a chopped up, half-baked, version of what was originally designed is cool too...

The ride vehicle is supposed to move but probably more along the lines of Mine Train and not what you're hoping for.
