Yup, that would do it

Probably because of screaming kids and complaining parents ;)

OMG, he was spot on. Too funny. But why does Mickey look so sad?

LAKid53Oct 16, 2016

I was kind. I even gave your Canes some credit.

Ha ha. Here's the article, I had shared it on fb a few years ago. It's an amusing (and frighteningly accurate) read. Lolhttp://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/the-ten-distinct-states-that-make-up-florida-6530661 @Tony the Tigger you may enjoy this. P.s. My heart is still pounding from the game.. Take it easy on my poor soul ;)

Hey, it's only the Legislature that's dumb! You've made my day. Arguably the best maps of Florida ever. Wonder which town has all those cult-like football fans.... :hilarious: Just saw your post on football...getting ready to head over to that thread for some smack talking. Just warning you.

Very, very true. And depending on the part of North Florida, you are either in FloGeorgia (my part) or FlorBama (Crestview west to Pensacola). Yes sir, South Florida may be urban, international and cosmopolitan, but up here in redneck territory, we like our alcohol to be Bud, not Merlot......

I still don't understand what Disney failed to do in this situation. The majority of personal accounts/articles/fb posts that I have read were praising Disney for how they handled the guests on Thursday and Friday. You're always going to have a few complainers who think they weren't coddled enough.

I concur on this - there was a January 2016 reorg where each hotel was given a general manager. I'm fairly sure (as you said) that Disney would have an overarching emergency plan, but that some of the implementation went awry as managers misinterpreted, misunderstood, or lacked the 'institutional knowledge' (ie how it was followed historically). Each hotel might have their own contingencies as well (eg Fort Wilderness). Quote for emphasis. That's the problem - it shouldn't just be on the shelf. I would think that dragging out the binder would happen in May during Natl Hurricane Preparedness Week.(?) ie recurrent as you said.
