Disney World

Filed under: Society-Culture — Bunker @ 8:08 am

At a time of disaster, there are always people quick to take advantage of others. Just yesterday there were reports of motels and hotels in Florida raising their rates to make as much as possible, however possible.

Not so at Disney World, according to Neal Boortz, who saw it all first-hand.

We were staying at the Ft. Wilderness Lodge villas. Friday afternoon they came around and put flashlights in every room. We never needed them. The electricity never went out. Disney has its own power system, and all lines are underground. The Disney theme parks all closed at 1:00 pm on Friday, so guests were swarming back into the hotels. Staffers put up craft tables to occupy the kids, free movies were being run on the in-room televisions. The restaurants closed for about two hours to let the hurricane pass through, then reopened late in the evening.

Kinda reminds me of the “Old” Disney.
