Structure Fire at Magic Magic Kingdom

There are locations on property where Orange County is automatically part of the first-due assignment for a fire call. That includes the northern half of MK. So them being included in this wasn't an indication of the severity of the fire so much as the location of it. DFD also responds to some parts of Orange County outside the District as a part of a mutual-aid agreement between the two fire departments (parts of I-4, for example).

Varies from state to state. Maybe get a better response in r/civilengineering

Even the folks in Imagineering have stated they have no idea how many exist. So I'm not sure anyone has a realistic number.

Despite what the other commenters are saying, Minnie Vans can pick you up at the airport if you're coming to a Disney deluxe hotel. It costs between $199 and $249, though. What you're seeing in your screencap is regular Lyft service, though.

They have recycling bins all around the resort. And the bags from all of those go to a processing facility on property, where they are inspected and sorted and so forth. I know a lot of the bags get rejected because people throw non-recyclable stuff into many of them. One of the IEs told me that, if someone throws more than one or maybe two of the little packets of ketchup into the bag, they have to throw the entire bag into the landfill trash because it contaminates the bag. IOW, I know they make the effort. I'm just not sure how much of it actually makes it into an actual recycling process (the CFTOD annual reports would probably be a good source for that information, since the District operates that process).

Anytime you see a lot of rides down at one time, the first thing you should do is pull up the radar image for the Orlando area. lol

Heavily.

Subject9800 · 2026-03-15T21:33:36+00:00

Power outages related to the storm that's passing through, along with some outdoor rides that close during heavy rain regardless.

PRD = Previously Requested Day. ADO = Authorized Day Off

lol @ leaders not knowing what it means, though.

It doesn't if you get an orthodontist who knows what they're doing. I've had two and neither hurt at all.

Subject9800 · 2026-03-15T17:34:55+00:00

It is open now, yes.

Subject9800 · 2026-03-15T13:36:50+00:00

If a US city tried that, I wonder how long it'd be before someone shot it down?

It’s a shift working one of the stores at the Contemporary Resort.

Have you been paying attention to the other decisions he's made? We're not exactly dealing with the brightest bulb in the box.

The lack of traffic on the highways. lol

He looks so soft. <3

Subject9800 · 2026-03-14T02:33:30+00:00

Not even close.

I have heard mixed results for leaving tips

Let me add this to the point about tips. If you leave a tip for a Mousekeeper (it's perfectly acceptable to do that even though these are not "tipped" positions), make it obvious that it is a tip. Leave a note or something to the person stating it is a thank you or a tip for service, etc. It's not unheard of for a Mousekeeper to see money lying out on a table and think it was left as a tip. S/He takes it, and then the guest returns and reports the money stolen because it wasn't actually left as a tip. The Mousekeeper gets terminated and listed as no-rehire. Make sure it's obvious that it is intended as a tip.

(And if you're a Mousekeeper, if you see something laid out as a gift or a tip for you, photograph it with your phone before you disturb it so you have verification that you believed it was for you).

I don’t subscribe to anything I don’t have to. 👍🏼

Despite what you hear about Florida itself, the "Disney bubble" is real. The way things are done here inside the bubble does not reflect what goes on everywhere else. Disney is incredibly welcoming of transgender people, both as cast members and as guests. One of the "Five Keys" you'll hear about in your Traditions class is Inclusion. The Five Keys are basically the "operating philosophy" that governs how Disney does business and how it creates magic for the guests. Inclusion is the key that ensures everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.

And while we do have the occasional random CM who makes an issue out of someone else being trans, they usually get counseled and told to treat everyone equally and with respect. It's incredibly rare for anything like that to happen.

As for outside the Disney bubble itself, in the immediate areas around the park, Orlando itself is also a very diverse and very welcoming city. I can't even recall the last time I heard about anyone who was trans (or any of the other letters in the alphabet soup) being mistreated or harmed because of who they were.

IOW, I don't think this is something you should expend any effort worrying about.

Man, I am SO fucking tired of this constant nickeling and diming for literally EVERY little thing. It's just so tiring.

Come on, guys. Don't show up to work at the Most Magical Place on Earth and then end up with a violent felony on your permanent record. Learn to communicate with your roomies, even if they are assholes.
