CDC: Leprosy cases rising in Central Florida
Well.... here's hoping it doesn't affect tourists as much, or any of the trips we're taking over the next 6 months...
Absolutely fair assessment. I considered that as well, but then felt assured by the fact that there are other Disney-adjacent sites, companies, communities, and otherwise out there, like Disney Food Blog.
Disney-Only Lemmy Instance
I'm a huge fan of Disney and working on other disney-related side projects. I decided to host a disney-only Lemmy instance, and I'd like to encourage other communities across the Fediverse to transfer over to it.
We can keep stay limited to like-minded individuals, while still being connected to the larger Fediverse. And by having our own instance, we're able to relieve pressure from the larger generic Lemmy instances such as lemmy.world.
I hope you'll join me.

Halloween and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Food Guide
Disney has shared the complete food guide for the treats coming for Halloween and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023.
I can't wait! What's everyone most interested in? What caught my eye the most was
> Pain and Panic Loaded Tots: Tots topped with sweet and spicy onion relish, sriracha mustard, and crumbled bratwurst
I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)
Mears Connect and Sunshine Flyer have announced they will be merging their Disney World airport transportation services.
How does everyone feel about this? I don't have any experience with Mears or Sunshine Flyer, as I'm a local, but ... this hasn't sounded like good news. What used to be a free service is now paid and now fully third-party corporate? ... that's disappointing.
I created dis.ney.ink to try to be the Lemmy version of the Disney subreddits (such as r/dvcmember and r/waltdisneyworld) ... so far there's 3 users and ~9 subscribers
Due to waits and having two young kids, I still haven’t managed to go on FoP or either Star Wars ride.
My wife finally got on FoP during Moonlight Magic, so I’m sure that one will finally get knocked off my list next trip in September!
Favorite Attraction at Walt Disney World?
Any park, any attraction. What's your favorite? What do you make an direct attempt to accomplish during any trip?
For me it's ... lounges. Lol. It's become a tradition of ours that after the kids go to sleep on the first night, that I head out solo to check out the lounge of the hotel that we're staying at.
So far my favorite has been Victoria Falls Lounge at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Other than that, I really do wing it and just have fun getting in whatever I can.
- Hollywood Studios: Midway Mania
- Animal Kingdom: Kilimanjaro Safaris
- Epcot: Cosmic Rewind
- Magic Kingdom: Tron or Pirates of the Caribbean
Disney Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026
The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors announced today that Robert A. Iger has agreed to continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer through …Read More
I feel that we got too proactive. We jumped on a Vero contract so fast right at a time where we had other financial hurdles that popped up, not to mention a year into our Riviera contract. We are better for it in the long run, but it did make things more tense than I’d like for a bit.
Also, as much as I love Riviera, and I’m glad we have points here… I do question if it’s where I PREFER to stay at WDW
I hadn’t even considered the trust approach yet. Why move it to one?
Guessing you're local to California? What makes VGC stand out for you?
We have ownership in Riviera and Vero Beach, and go to WDW 5+ times a year.
What is your favorite DVC Resort?
Welcome to the new Lemmy community for DVC members!
What is your favorite DVC Resort?
My wife and I initially thought we'd try every single resort, but even with that goal in mind, with less than 2 years as DVC members under our belt we're already often choosing from a handful of resorts, and haven't been getting to others.
The ones we tend to pick, in no particular order:
- Riviera
- Polynesia
- Beach Club
- Animal Kingdom
- Wilderness Lodge (so far Copper Creek, but we're trying Boulder Ridge soon)
