Jeebus! That just made the LOCAL news in Orlando.

I assume what's left of the tree has been removed and it's mostly cleaned up already? Has anyone stopped by there yet?

Yes, the remains (or is it "cremains"?) of the once majestic faux tree are now in a dumpster. Not sure where the furniture went, but I'm sure that it will be restored and back in the lobby some time in the future. All that needs to be done to it would be to clean and touch up the wood work and replace the upolestry (sp?), but I'm just guessing. They might have fire insurance monies pay for replacements to be made. Channel 7 news had a brief video shot of the work being done in the lobby and the wet vacs in full swing by the vacant spot that was once the spot of the tree. Just the support base of the tree remains in the lobby seating area.

Damnit. I pay a lot of money for my AP, they had better get the AP lounge back in hospitable condition. And soon!!!

I'm entiled to it!

:p /;)

I'm just a teensy teeny bit out of touch. I heard about this about 2 hours ago.

I'm glad everyone was ok and did a good jon keeping cold, er, warm.

Actually, I think Disney comes out looking good in this, they had a fire, everything worked as it was supposed to, guests evacuated, sprinklers engaged, fire fighters on the scene.

So, it's a week before my trip and so far my airline has had a plane departing from my airport with a hole in it that caused loss of cabin pressure and my hotel has caught fire.

I'm not sure if this means I'm jinxed and my trip is cursed or I'm blessed and all the available misfortunes have already happened.

I think you've been pre-disastered - what are the chances of a second occurance of either of those - nah, you're safe.

World according to Garp?

Does this mean the Lounge gets new couches and carpet? :evil:
