    I have worked in food for over 30 years and we are treated subhuman. Pay sucks, no paid sick days, no paid vacation days, etc. I worked at a place for years and went 4 years without calling in sick. I actually got pretty sick with a stomach bug and called in and they actually said that I was lying. That I called in sick because somehow I just knew that day was going to be busy. As if I can see into the future. It is disgusting how so many people are treated working an honest job.

      I worked in restaurants also for 30 years. (Same place for 20 years!). …….unfortunately, these places don’t care whether you live, or die. 🤷🏼‍♂️. My last 5 years at the place I ran up my overtime, got as much free food as I could, and did EVERYTHING (wink, wink) I could to take care of MYSELF!!

      I worked at one for high school credit. It was a different location, but they do have one at Disney Springs. The pay was ok for a 17yo, but as a child who this was her first job, I did not know my rights, and was never given 15 minute breaks, only the state required 30 minute lunch if I was scheduled that long. I also would work as late a 2 in the morning some nights, though that was rare, as we were usually out around midnight. Most of my hours were “on call,” so as a teenager, I was expected to have no social life and always be on call should they need me.

      @@roribachcrazylegs I needed something flexible to be able to be home with my kids when needed. There are not very many jobs that allow that. And the fact that you think that me staying is the problem and not the part about being treated poorly, then you are one of the assholes in this world that are part of the problem.

      No, make him do walking vlogs of Tokyo! Not at his desk or trying anymore food.

    Well said Tom, regarding the rooms @ The Contemporary Resort. I totally agree, they’ve ruined the rooms.
    They feel so much smaller. We lost so much space, where the desk & drawers were.
    I just can’t figure where all the space went!
    They’ve lost that luxury feel and just look tacky.
    It’s still what we call our ‘home’, so will continue to stay there but it’s just not the same anymore.

    Of course they are going to be selling Tiana hot sauces, a number of us been joking thats precisely what they will do when it was revealed they are basically basing this on the real life Tabasco plantation salt dome. Probably going to be basic hot sauces for four times the price.

      There's a big difference between being open to a station and actual plans for one to open. Actors are always open to another season of a cancelled show, but that doesn't mean it will happen.

    As someone who doesn't live in Florida, this is the first time I've heard about the low water levels. Do we know what is causing it? Is it due to global warming (less rain)? Or was a dam removed downstream? Or is extra water being used for irrigation? Florida without water is basically just the Sahara Desert.

      This was the resort most ABC sitcoms stayed at. Back in the 90s, with only one Universal park, and three WDW, we would have extra time to just relax… …usually resort hopping the monorail loop. I remember this gift shop fondly. This was back when they were still selling $3 PVC figurines, and I was able to complete my set of Splash Mountain/Song of the South there. For some reason though, I only seem to have successfully held onto Brer Bear into adulthood.

    It's a huge shame that you rarely seem to feature anything that's going on at Disneyland Paris.
    I know historically there probably hasn't been much to report on, but there's so much going on right now that's barely had a look in on the show: Disney Village demolition, Studio 1 is now closed, Space Mountain is having some major exterior work, Storybook ride (I cannot be bothered to find the French name 😆) is having its new scenes added, Frozen and Rapunzel rides are progressing well.
    It's no bother for me personally, as I can see all of this on the various pages that follow DLP, but it would be great to see some of it on this show so the international viewers can see that stuff is actually happening at the resort, for once 😆
