Here’s the thing with the large soap/shampoo bottles...when I think of bulk bottles in a shower, I think of a gym, NOT a deluxe hotel.

Well said!!

quite honestly we love our half empty shampoo bottles - a little way to keep the magic going once home.

WDWNT just posted that there are arrows in the parkinglot at Hollywood Studios guiding you which way to walk to get to the main gate - and they feature the Tower of Terror ... so guess another sign of that (at least for now) remaining the Icon of the park

I assume I missed it somewhere along the line, but are there any time estimates on when the new bus drop off area will be done at DHS? They are using a temporary location right now, correct? I'm a little foggy on that for our upcoming trip...

Funny... at first glance, it looked like a chess piece to me...

One big complaint I have of Avengers / Marvel is the lack of any particularly memorable orchestral themes. Lots of other movies series have done this over the years, and even more recently - you can hum the Pirates theme, or maybe even Wonder Woman's (not all that hummable, but memorable), but the Avengers music is so sort of blah that even though you recognize it when you see it, you couldn't recall it to your friend. It's sort of a problem that plagues a lot of modern movies though - the style is more propulsive that melodic.

John Williams true genius was his ability to take 2 bars of music and make it so catchy that you can recall it from memory. Sing along with me....
Indiana Jones!
Star Wars!
Superman!
Jurassic Park!
Jaws!
Harry Potter!

Now- Avengers!

You get my point...

I'm guessing you've seen this:

Shouldn’t be too much longer. I’d guess early 2019.

I like the “and beyond”..

Makes me think of their new pricing motto(at least what it should be called) “To infinity and beyond!”

I'm guessing you've seen this:

WOW! This was a super cool watch, thanks for sharing.

Funnily enough, I actually can call the Marvel “opening credit” music to mind fairly easily but would’ve been staring blankly when asked for Bond music

I get it though, and hope Marvel starts stepping the music game up

To say nothing about all the surfaces that contain germs in the airport, and the magical Express bus or taxi, and in each Park, bus, and everywhere else.

I came home from my last trip with influenza. It came from Disney world. There have been no other verified cases in my city so far this year, I have the notoriety of being patient one. Where did that come from?

When I am traveling,I use hand sanitizer continually, I wipe down surfaces in my resort room, and I try to practice good hygiene everywhere. But, those germs and viruses and bacteria are all around us.

Ugh, yes. I call Disney "the germiest place on Earth". Watch all the little kids that put there mouths on everything. I can beat you - my wife got Chicken Pox at WDW in 2000. She was laid up for two weeks. The best bet is to try and not touch anything.
