    "Blondie" Brownies?

    It's practically the same. Technique is where it differs. I use all brown sugar. I melt the butter. I use salted butter then add 1/2 teaspoon salt. I add 1/2 butterscotch chips, 1/2 chocolate chips. I sprinkle the top with raw or demerara sugar before baking, which makes a fantastic caramel-y...

    I am in desperate need of a HUGE favor

    They sell these at Five Below. My son's teacher buys them for the treasure box in her classroom. My son brought home a Mickey one last week.

    Water, Water, Water...

    Locker rentals are around $10-15. Just buy water as you need it or use the water fountains. Disneyland water tastes fine.

    First day impressions...umm...well...

    Are you trying to add a day to a military armed forces salute ticket? If so, that's not possible. You can do it at the Guest Relations window outside if Disneyland, if it is a regular ticket type.

    Just got back and noticed a few things about DFDS advice needed

    Does this child have an Autism diagnosis? From everything you wrote, he's practically a poster child for the disorder. I have two kids with Autism. They have very specific requirements for theme park success. Vacations are very challenging for us. Sounds to me like this child has "slipped...

    Been stuck for a yr now

    You are not eating enough calories. Your body is in starvation mode and that's why you aren't losing weight. MINIMUM for a woman is 1200 NET calories per day. Net means total calories eaten minus calories burned during exercise. You are probably burning about 400-600 Cal in an hour workout...

    PSA on Tax Return Filing for 2012 Returns

    I just logged onto my Turbo Tax return and they said the IRS will begin accepting and processing electronic returns on Jan 22. :confused3 I could file today, if I wanted. But, I am waiting until I can file my state return at the same time (on the 19th those forms will be ready).

    BC pool: too big w/ 3 kids and only 1 parent?

    FWIW, I found the BWI pool positively snore inducing after SAB. The slide at BWI is very twisty, and it's over in a flash. The slide at SAB is MUCH more fun. Your 14 and 12 year old boys will much prefer SAB to the pool at BWI. And, they are definitely old enough where you should not feel...

    Kids club and lego question

    You won't find Legos or really any toys for building in the kids clubs. They are not allowed due to being a choking hazard for the little ones. ALL toys with small parts were removed from the clubs when the programming went 3-10 year olds in the same areas at all times. It stinks. Our kids hated...

    DCL travel insurance and obtaining credit

    I want to be able to help MIL with this, but she has all the info at home in another state. She is here visiting, and I told her I'd figure out what she has to do when she gets home. She is not very good on the phone, so I wanted to have as much info as possible to tell her so she will be...

    DCL travel insurance and obtaining credit

    Long story short: We booked a cruise in August. My MIL booked solo to join us. She ended up having a work issue and could not go at the last minute. Purchased DCL's travel insurance. MIL just recently got a letter from the insurance company denying her claim (as expected, although DCL...

    For those who bring babies to DLR...why?

    I would say, because you don't stop living your life and doing what you enjoy just because you have a baby. I vistited Disneyland almost weekly prior to having kids. Once I had my first child, when he was about 3 months old, I was missing Disneyland, so we went. Over and over again. We always...

    Official 2012/2013 Disney Military Promotion - Updated Post #187

    This may have been answered already, so I apologize if that is the case. Are Disneyland and WDW separate as far as this promotion is concerned? We are going to DLand in Nov (need to purchase 6 tickets) but I am going to WDW solo in a few weeks (need just one ticket) and we have no plans to...

    A vey sad little boy....

    There was a boy about 10 or 11 on our August Dream cruise who had a broken leg. He had a waterproof cast and we saw him swimming, riding the Aquaduck, and playing in the ocean at Castaway Cay. He did it all!

    Beach Club $1600 for 5 nights and a family of 5?

    What is so impossible about paying $400/night at the Beach Club? Sounds about right to me...

    What is good from Kona for kids (not from kids menu) for lunch/dinner?

    The Pan Asian noodles with chicken were a hit with my 7 year old son. He loves Asian noodle dishes.

    Swan or Dolphin?

    I'd choose neither based on my recent experience there... Gross smelling hallways (smelled like rotting fish), dingy room (Swan), mildew everywhere, GROSS Grotto pool condition (that they are supposedly fixing right now, but it was disgusting that they were still letting people swim in there...

    Orthodontia emergency...what would you do?

    Call another orthodontist. And then, drop the old one like a hot potato.

    At Art of Animation right now!

    I can answer this question, as I was there about 10 days ago in a Cars Suite. Absolutely NO on the air mattress in the master. To be quite honest, your traveling party makeup is not conducive to the family suites. The bed in the master is a queen sized, and there is VERY little room to...
