I would imagine that a few very burly CMs would appear and carry anyone down who can't do the steps...

or maybe there is a magic opening in the top where they can air lift people out ...

I'm sure there is some kind of plan, but it would be interesting to see it in action....

They call rcfd to evac.

The amount of times I have heard Oh Susanna... (It’s a running joke with VOL fans because we hear it almost every set.)

All great song though! I want to go back to WDW just to listen to them all day again lol.

How funny because I have never heard them sing this song lol

Yes they must’ve gotten more in since the event because the Magicbands were out while I was there.

I’m obviously not the only one based on that event.

Coronado Springs Tower is at about 9 floors now. It’s really something.

You need a Periscope app, so we can more closely follow your trip...

I have it. Not many seem to use periscope anymore. I have Facebook lived a few things.

Trying out the Edison! It definitely looks cool. We will see if the food is good.

I recall positive things about the bacon appetizer and the desserts. Actually I think a number of the appetizers got good reviews, less so for the entrees

I didn’t get an appetizer or dessert. Got the Edison burger. It was quite good. Took a little long to get my food but overall a good experience.

Last trip I actually had a few DISNEY employees tell me the food is bad. I am more interested in catching the night-time entertainment. We'll get there in October if they haven't ended it by then because it's too expensive.

Funny how the "News and Rumors" thread has temporarily morphed into the "Let's comment on @rteetz trip" thread. I guess that's what happens when the news king goes to Disney!

Lol!

It wasn’t bad by any means and I would go back. I got the Edison burger. I’d say 7-7.5 out of 10. I didn’t do appetizers or dessert. I paid $27 with tip and AP discount. Service was good except it did take a bit longer than I expected for my food.

Not a new thing but the Disney Springs bus stop is the worst of them all in terms of waiting for buses.

I waited 45 minutes one time for a Yacht/Beach Club bus when I was going to EPCOT. No Boardwalk bus came during that time, and several other bus stops had 2-3 busses come during that time. I have come to the point that it is better to walk to Saratoga Springs (depending where you are) or take an Uber from DS.
