Revealed: Pulse shooter's original plan was to shoot up Disney Springs by hiding rifle in stroller.

Perhaps this was the main factor in adding resort room checks.

Perhaps this was the main factor in adding resort room checks.

I think Las Vegas was the main factor, but Pulse could have been a contributing factor.

You know, maybe I'm really showing my age here, but when these mammoth ships are announced, does anyone else automatically think about "Poseidon Adventure" like I do?

It is worth noting that the S. S. Poseidon, as described in the novel, was smaller than all but four of Royal Caribbean's 24 ships (and really only a little larger than three of those four).

Revealed: Pulse shooter's original plan was to shoot up Disney Springs by hiding rifle in stroller.

I read previously that he had cased out some Disney locations, but I didn't know he had gone to Disney Springs hours before the shooting.

I was there, the night of June 11, with my family.

Homecomin’ adding Saturday Night Shine

Here I got all excited thinking there’d be actual moonshine. I guess I’ll stick to my local source for that.

I have not heard anything more about sales.

I haven’t had morimoto yet but I’ve heard good things.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I haven’t had morimoto yet but I’ve heard good things.

Maybe I was just unlucky. I’m not even comparing it to Nobu — perhaps unfair. I’m comparing to various local sushi places that are cheaper than Morimoto. Quality and service just were not there, to me. Not worth venturing to DS for us.

I’m not a sushi eater (not really any seafood) so that’s why I haven’t been.

LEGO The Incredibles video game coming this summer

Yeah I feel like perhaps those of us in larger cities won't see the appeal as we can get really good food for much cheaper. The pictures of the inside do look really nice though.

I am from Milwaukee. Not a very large city but pretty big. We are in the top 5 for most restaurants per capita (we were number one not sure if that’s still the case) with some awesome dining. I still find awesome reasonable (at least for Disney) dining at Disney springs. Homecomin’ is one of my favorites as well as Boathouse. I really enjoyed the Edison this trip. I’ve been very happy with Disney upping its dining game in Disney springs.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

I was in my teens I think when I saw it, and it did scare the crap out of me also! To this day, I have never done an Ocean cruise....

EDITED: Make that early 20's (1972) when I saw it....still...pretty impressionable!

Me either - I just can't bring myself to go on a cruise - I'm too afraid. I'd have to be sedated the entire trip.

I always weep during the Shelly Winters part!

We have some amazing sushi and rolls up here, just can' find anything close at WDW or even nearby. Then again most of the better rolls are bigger and $20 plus, but amazing. Will keep checking down there though.
