Trip to Walt Disney World

Haven't been to Disney World since 2000.  Had a business trip scheduled for the week of November 28 to December 2, so we decided to append a small vacation to the start of it from Thanksgiving through Sunday the 27th.

Stayed at the Disney All Stars Movie Resort - this was our first time staying on a Disney property despite many trips to WDW over the years.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Spent one day each in Epcot, Disney MGM Studios and the Magic Kingdom.  (We had done a day at Animal Kingdom back in 2000 and were not impressed.)

Ate Thanksgiving dinner at Narcoossee's in the Grand Floridian.  At Epcot we ate at the Biergarten restaurant in the Germany pavilion.  The remainder of our meals were standard Disney counter service.

Who's Responsible?

Gov. Sonny Perdue made it clear that he believes the responsibility of housing the evacuees rests with the federal government. "We are pleased that FEMA is willing to meet its legal responsibility to house the evacuees."

Not to be unsympathetic, but why doesn't the responsibility for housing the evacuees rest with (... radical thought coming up, try to stay with me...) the evacuees themselves?
