Re: Sign? What Sign?
Driving on WDW property is scary! You got the guests who are lost so are going slow and the cast who are late who are speeding. Not a good combination at all! Makes me glad that I normally don't have to drive on property much since I come from the north and I get to the MK cast lot via Reams.
What's the "jug handle"? Never heard of it. easy enough to guess what "Fort" is, Fort Wilderness.
I wanted to stay home on NYE, tried to give my shift that day away but it didn't happen. I'm off at 7:30 that evening and plan on getting the hell out of there, I won't be hanging around.

Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

Yes, and both groups are turning left from the right lane and vice versa!Shorty82 wrote:Driving on WDW property is scary! You got the guests who are lost so are going slow and the cast who are late who are speeding.
Head south from the Contemporary on World Drive, and just before you get to the MK toll plaza, you do a "jump to the right and then a step to the left" and get dumped onto Vista Blvd eastbound. That's the "jug handle".What's the "jug handle"?

Yep! Scary stuff, driving around property. I avoid doing it if I can.Zazu wrote:Yes, and both groups are turning left from the right lane and vice versa!
I know exactly where you mean. Now that you mention it, it does sorta look like the handle of a jug. I never thought about it like that before.Head south from the Contemporary on World Drive, and just before you get to the MK toll plaza, you do a "jump to the right and then a step to the left" and get dumped onto Vista Blvd eastbound. That's the "jug handle".
You're CR, you can do that kind of thing easier. I'm FT, I gotta work what they give me. The one person I found that could take the shift got forced into light duty so Labor denied it. All the other interested CMs couldn't take it because it would've been OT and Labor never approves straight time to OT trades. I wanted to use up my last floating holiday before it expired too.I've *already* bugged out for the duration!

Mo and I have a good friend who lives behind the MK. I have been down a few roads leading to the parks. I think there are 2, I believe. At night, a agree driving slowly is the best way. We have seen the speeders and wonder if they would crash along the stretch? We like the street that connects from the back road to the MK.

Re: Sign? What Sign?
Actually, that's Vista Blvd. It intersects with World Dr at the jug handle. Buena Vista Dr is the other main drag from DTD to All Stars.

Someone did that with the Texas emergency signs, too!Swordfish Flotilla wrote:Recently, similar signs near Gainesville were the object of curious looks from the passing traffic.

Re: Sign? What Sign?
Flashback to the 70s:
Five Man Electrical Band--"Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign".
And the sign said long-haired freaky people need not apply.
So I stuffed my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why.
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do--
So I took off my hat and said Imagine that
Me workin' for you.
Chorus:
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' off the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
The sign said anybody caught trespassin' will be shot on sight.
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
Hey, what gives you the right?
Put up a fence to keep me out, what, people keeps you in?
If God was here He'd tell you to your face,
Man, you're some kind of sinner.
(Chorus)
And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray.
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay.
So I got me a pen and a paper,
and I made up my own little sign--
I said thank you Lord for thinkin' about me,
I'm alive and doin' fine.
(Chorus)
