Perhaps they have always been there but I do not remember them from years past: motion sensors for the AC/Heat in the rooms. If there was no motion for more than about 15 minutes, the AC would turn off. No big deal when not in the room but even sitting at the desk got annoying because I would occasionally have to stand up an flap my arms around to keep the air moving. This seems a bit silly for a "resort" location. Even at night (it was very humid the last few days) I woke up to find that it was very stuffy in my room. A call to the desk revealed that, "this was an "environmental saving device" and I just needed to move arouind a bit to keep it on", Huh? In the middle of the night?

Yes, there is a story behind this photo but it is not from a wild party at Learning 2006. Similar to the Bad Casting post by Jay from a couple of days ago, there were a few irksome interactions with the way the Coranado Springs was set up. While most things were Disney-perfect, one was worth a picture.

A bit of ingenuity (low fan+one dress shirt) fooled the motion sensor and cool dry air flowed through the night...
