News Round Up 2018

You'd think it be easier to find a ziploc bag on property now that they are sponsors. When we were there a few weeks ago my daughter lost 3 teeth, 2 on sea and one at the parks. It took our stateroom host an entire day to track down a bag for us (it ended up coming from the infirmary or whatever it is called) and at the resort they had none. None. Nada. We only saw them at Epcot for the kidcot stations. I was sort of surprised.
That’s interesting. I lost my very first tooth at WDW.

I read it differently. I think it's been delayed because of the "no plastic" trend?
That's my take as well.
I'm betting that consumer backlash from the idea of Disney handing out those "evil plastic monsters" has forced them to reconsider the whole project.
IMO someone in Disney's Advertising department got a butt chewing from Disney's Environmental Police over the whole project.
The fine line between saving the World and making money has become more difficult to balance upon. ;)
 
Not sure if it qualifies as News, but the DoubleTree Suites Disney Springs Area was evacuated this evening. That's where I'm staying this week, so this is first-hand account.

Smoke was reported on the second floor. The Reedy Creek Fire Department showed up en masse. I saw three of the largest fire engines, four ambulance-sized trucks, at least six other Reedy Creek vehicles, and more fire people than you could count. We were outside at least 1.5 hours while they checked the entire building. Unofficially, the source of the smoke wasn't found.

Years ago when I was a hotel Night Manager, I had to order an evacuation due to a chemical leak. I don't envy the staff who now have to deal with complaints. (Although, I certainly won't complain because safety overshadows inconvenience.) I remember I was stuck filling out tons of paperwork after my evacuation.
 
I have lost so many things at WDW, sunglasses, pins, hats, some bubble wands, a scoop of ice cream.........

WDW - where my hats go on to bigger and better things....since I was a child - lost at LEAST 5 hats on WDW rides. Most recently on Splash Mountain in 2016. At least I got a ride photo of it...

I never learn.
