No more updates on the new Cirque Du Soleil yet is there. Was really hoping for it to open this year.

Still a lot of time to our December trip I suppose!

 

[OKW Lover]

Pretty sure if I lived there I would want everyone to know it - so the bigger the letters the better!

I understand from a friend that knows a lot of residents there that they are very much laid-back real people who could care less about telling folks where they live.

I'd believe that. Then it's an odd MB design choice, though...

Thank you!

Maybe just being where I live and a lot of people with money like to show you they have money (and even those that don’t try to show off like they do)

I always found that old money rarely shows off, but new money wants everyone to notice. There's a lot of new money in the last 20 years.

Exclusive Golden Oak Magicband

https://twitter.com/dismagicbands/status/1091858266290823169?s=21

And just when you thought the tour department had reached the ultimate height of excess, the Magic Band folks come along and say, "Hold my beer." That is at least a 2.5 million dollar band. Only Disney would have the fortitude to still charge for the band after taking that much from someone's wallet. All that said, I'm jealous and hope to win that lottery one day. Ain't capitalism great!

I have a feeling that those in golden oak don't care too much about paying $25-30 for a magicband. They already get a good amount of Disney perks for just living there.

I gotta imagine that Southwest will do something for passengers affected. We flew out of MCO in October and were delayed 2 hours so we didn't get home until 2 AM. We didn't complain, but we DID go early and try to get out on a different flight the next day - but were unable to do so. We didn't actually even act upset or anything - just told them we didn't want to get in at 2 AM, and would prefer to delay to the next day. When we got home - SWA had given us each a $100 voucher for future flights. I would imagine they will offer something to those affected in this case.



The "i'm better than all y'all" band.

And I admit it, if I could afford to live in Golden Oak - I would totally wear an "I'm better than all y'all" band.

I hope they will, they weren't offering any assistance last night, not even distressed passenger hotel vouchers/coupons.

I will say this for them though. I started driving to TPA before I actually talked to anyone (one hour phone wait which is very unusual for them) because I knew they would switch me without any hassle, where I don't have that trust in other airlines. It took the agent a while to switch us over, but they did it without any push back.

I need to look up this Golden Oak place since I have no clue what it is.

And through Four Seasons. There is a Four Seasons neighborhood in there that are considered Four Seasons Homes at Golden Oak.

I agree 100%! That is why I wanted to win the lottery.

I do know what you mean. A lot of that where I live as well. I just always find it silly. And some of the wealthiest people I know are the most unassuming -- no showing off at all.

This!

I live in a town with a lot of "old money". Some of the nicest, unassuming, down-to-earth people you run into, including some regional "celebrities". There are a few exceptions, but most don't flaunt it.

There has also been some wealthier people move in since this is an affluent town. Most are recent 1%'ers. These are the ones with the Bentleys and Ferraris and the kids in school with huge entitlement problems. Again, exceptions, but this is a smallish town and living here for 30+ years, you know who is who.

But back to Disney problems. I think the Golden Oaks MBs are ok. I bet less than 1 in 10,000 "regular" Disney visitors know what Golden Oaks is.
