Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Dragon...I also love to live vicariously through others so I will probably be more of a lurker too...

Mr_Oogie_Boogie, sorry for the delay in providing your Official Marsupial Welcome™. I've been off hunting for cheesesteaks in their natural environment, and Big Wallaby's undoubtably pushing a slow-moving train on Big Thunder.

:sgthello:

:D: :D: :D:

Thanks for the welcome Wombat...I certainly understand the need for a tasty cheesesteak and would hate to think of some SGs stuck on a slow-moving Big Thunder train so no worries on the delays...

Depending on your status. Not all gate passes are created equal.

Oh wait a min. I forgot. You are under the old contract or Grandfather clause. I get it now.

After living in Orlando for 18 years (born and raised) my strongest advice is this.


DO NOT DO IT!!!


The heat, the crime, the people, the congestion, the cost of living, the Florida sate government. Just to name a few things.

I had the opportunity to work for the mouse, guaranteed job. making good money. Had the job and a place to live waiting for me, all I had to do was move back. Not worth it.


Good luck

Still on that contract. I get 36 sign-ins on the silver pass. 3 sign ins each time. But seriously I have signed in 12 people in this year. Moe has a premium pass and we team up on my days off.

You have signed in far more then I have. I simply say no to most everyone. Best this way. Guest MUST be very special to me, have a great need, be an animal rescuer, or one I owe a huge favor. All same rules as to my comps. Ya have to be WELL liked & pass my test. ;) My family all have premiums & there are 3 of us who are CMs, so all are covered. Tell me abt the old contract turkey. I know a CM who claims a dependent son. He hasn't had custody of his son for yrs. The son is an adult & in a max security Ca. prison. Guess Disney doesn't check "under the old contract" CMs. :(
