News Round Up 2017

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

Locking the door depends on your area and habits, I think. I grew up in the Midwest, in one of the capital cities. I knew people who didn't lock stuff. We always did because my grandpa was a cop. And we had kids around the neighborhood that would mess with stuff for fun. Heck, the one time I left my car window open (the sunroof actually) overnight a kid set my car on fire. No joke.

When we were home, it depended on what was going on. If everyone was out back in the pool, or in our basement or back bedrooms? Locked. Someone was doing yard work, or in the living room? Unlocked. Only time we locked the garage door was at night.

I lock the hotel room door at night out of habit. Just a little piece of mind, even if its just to keep someone out by mistake, like if the front desk sends someone to your room instead of an empty room haha.

Oh yeah it does totally depend on how you grew up, how you currently go with your habit and where you live. And yeah I wouldn't be able to say majority are like you and me and other people on the thread but I think it's safe to say that some people do not lock their doors 100% when they are awake and out and about inside their homes--just like you would be if you were in your resort room for the day or leaving for whatever later in the day and needed the "room occupied" sign up so housekeeping didn't come in.

By the other thread I linked in a previous comment about an incident at BLT clearly there are enough people disturbed by the idea of someone waltzing into their room and even moreso about how it was handled for the person (which would be hard to ensure each and every CM handled the situation the same way of seeing you in your room as clearly the CM in the person's thread overstepped the boundaries). The "well you should lock the door" is also discussed on that thread.

Wi-Fi Upgrades Coming to All Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

While I was able to pre-order my iPhone X with release day delivery at 3am on 10/27 (yes, Disney resort Wi-Fi beat my LTE) I am SO excited about this!!

The Wi-Fi was PAINFULLY slow and unresponsive last week at Coronado Springs. I can't wait to try it out at Yacht and Beach!

And I’m jealous of your X...

I miss the physical size of my 7+ from time to time. The 8+ is also an excellent choice

And I still have a 6s.

I don't think I could ever handle the size of an X or an 8+. I like the 6s size. It makes it feel more like a phone instead of a tablet (which is what I feel like they will become at some point).

I love the larger size of the plus.

I'm sure I'll upgrade at some point. I'm waiting for this phone to give out on me which it might soon. The charger port is beginning to not work (I have to angle it a certain way for it to work), and the headphone port won't keep any AUX or headphone cable in.

Headphone port? What is that?

The X is actually very close in size to the 6/6s/7/8, just a bit taller! I am eagerly awaiting an X+ HAHAHA

Now if Disney would only optimize MDE and Shop Parks for the X. Pretty much the only apps remaining on my phone that are not optimized.

Headphone port? What is that?

LOL oh yeah... AirPods are pretty great too

I think the lock your door habit is also from where you grew up /live. I grew up suburban so you didn't lock your door when you were in the house except overnight. I still tend to do that, as we still live in a very rural/suburban nieighboorhood, but my MIL yells at us when our door isn't locked, and my DW always locks the door at Disney, because she grew up in a city neighborhood that was not a good neighborhood.

It seems with the new rules though - locking your door is probably a good habit to get into.
