That’s what the “Room Occupied” sign is there for. It’s not like they just took away the DND sign and didn’t offer an alternative.

What’s the point in this policy change if you’ve still got a deadbolt? I read somewhere else that the Disney resorts already did away with theirs.

We were at the Contemporary for lunch the week after Christmas and you have to go through a metal detector to get to the room elevators.

I still can’t get over how much blonde Penelope Cruz looks like Holly Madison.

The book is EXCELLENT and the Versace section is maybe about a fifth of it. It’s much more of a study of how police departments and the feds knew very little about gay communities in the ‘90s and how police departments from different cities and states REALLY don’t now how to cooperate with each other.

My mom works housekeeping for a hotel, and the policy is that they have to check every 72 hours of an extended stay. As a person who hates to be disturbed at hotels, I actually think it’s a pretty good policy. She’s found really unwell people, and dead pets (very, very elderly couple). I wonder if it could be a tool…

I go almost every month. Disney is taking this VERY seriously.

You do realize those signs are not legal contracts right? Nothing was ever preventing the staff from entering your room and rifling through your stuff when you weren’t around and that has not changed.

While I don’t disagree with what you posted, because Disney parks have ALWAYS been a target, I really think the room thing is specific to the LV shooting.

This is exactly how I read this. We can’t have gun control, so Disney is going to make sure you’re not building a sniper nest at the top of the Dolphin resort. (which is good, but obviously not the preferred entity governing such things)

I expect this will become the norm, because we hold companies more accountable than our government when “bad things happen”.

I would prefer them not going, yes.

Yes. The chutzpah is literally taking my breath away.

These brave women, wearing black beautiful dresses.

No, the responde is a very reasonable “So women get to take up the slack for abusive men - AGAIN.” It’s not noble, it’s sick.

I agree with you in theory but as a person who got teased in middle school because I physically can’t use tampons I’m not really excited about reliving this weird menstrual experience over the cups. I can only wear pads and that’s really punishment enough without environmental guilt.

The emotional labor that went into this one exchange is exhausting just to read, I can’t imagine trying to parse it out to all the people who call me a cunt on the internet.

On the one hand; yes, you have a point. I wonder, however, if she is just looking at it and responding in the same way a therapist might who is treated hostilely by a patient (to find out what is behind the anger, since it clearly isn’t the target’s behavior that caused it).

Couple things. First, no one has the time and resources to rescue trolls. None of us can finance and find a medical specialist for someone who is uninsured. I doubt this story would have mattered if she had said “that sucks” and didn’t reward him.

So all we have to do is be unbelievably, impossibly patient and forgiving when someone is absolutely awful to us, and everything will be fine.
