So excited! Not too much longer and I will be back at the Poly! Anyone else going to be there Sept 27-Oct 9? This will be our 16th stay there I think! Every stay there has been good as the first one! Anyone else?

I have never stayed at the poly and I was just wondering what time does the monorail start running for the day??

Can you get milk with the refillable mugs also? Just trying to see if they are worth it for the kids.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can get milk with the refillable mugs. I'll know for sure tomorrow when DD8 and I go to Captain Cooks for breakfast.

You're right, MSB. No milk or oj with the mugs. Last I noticed, apple juice was a choice though.

Have fun and enjoy Captain Cook's tomorrow....lucky duck!

If I remember correctly, they are a fancy name for the hard, crunchy potato chips...

I just got back from the Poly and I have to say that these Polynesian chips are horrible. Stale and inedible IMHO. Everything else was fine!

I couldn't agree more you are 100% correct.

I hope we will run into one another. My DH and I (in our 50s) are celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary on this trip. No MNSSHP this time; just great dining and the Food & Wine Festival on tap for us. Make sure you wear your LGMHs so we can recognize one another!

Lime Green Mickey Heads (think "Home Depot"!!)

Lime Green Mickey Heads (think "Home Depot"!!)

I knew that!
Ok, I didn't know it.
Thanks. but now I have to ask what Home Depot has to do with it.
Do they sell shirts with lime green Mickey on them?
I've seen a lot of Mickey heads on the "design threads" and a lot of other kewl transfers that you can make into shirts. But I haven't seen lime green. Is lime green Mickeys the way to identify other disers?
It seems that the more I am here, the less I know.

They are color "swatches" of sorts that you get at Home Depot's paint department--you know the Disney paint colors. Lime green was selected as the DIS color a long, long time ago by a Diser who, if I recall correctly is no longer even around.

Yep, it sometimes feels as if you know everything there is to know and then WHAM! you realize you still have some things to learn. It happens to all of us.
