    College Program Parents Thread...

    Hi everyone! My DD is headed to the DCP this spring. She doesn't like to drive and she would rather just take the bus to/from work. I'm concerned about this plan as they work really late at night. Does anyone know how safe it is to walk back to an apartment at 2am from the bus stop? My...

    ***Official Super December 2018 Thread***

    We will be there Dec 16-21 CBR. Worried about this resort as I hadn't been on the boards in a while to understand the magnitude of construction. Taking advantage of FD and considering MVMCP.

    Christmas Gifts for Teens

    Maybe a cake decorating kit and a class at Michael's? My daughter was really into the cupcake wars show (don't even know if that is still on). Or maybe a Disney apron?

    What games were a hit with your family?

    My High school aged DDs got the games 1) Sheriff of Nottingham and 2) King of Tokyo for Christmas and we have had a blast playing. They can't wait to have friends over to introduce them to the games.

    What are your favorite frozen dinners?

    The Stouffer's Fit Kitchen ones are my new faves, but they are hard to find. The cilantro lime chicken is good (little spicy) and everybody asks what I'm eating because it smells so good out of the microwave. They take a little longer to cook...5 minutes on high, stir then another 2-3 minutes...

    2015 Annual Christmas Gift List Ideas for TEEN GIRLS

    Hi Eeyore 81, I got my daughter (17) some coloring books earlier this year, along with the fiskars gel pens set of 48 from Amazon. She loved it! She has colored so much that she asked for MORE gel pens for Christmas. My younger dd (16) has asked for the prismacolor pencils and a coloring book...

    Spending money for high school student on college campus for a month

    OP here- Wow! I guess my budget just got bigger (but no beer money!!). It's the Governor's Scholars Program so I think it is very scheduled. It appears they keep them busy well into the evening, so I'm hoping that she will not need to venture out very often. There is a parent visit day about...

    Spending money for high school student on college campus for a month

    Laundry! I totally forgot about that. Good advice about the small bills and making change. I knew I could learn a lot from the DIS community-you all are the best! Thanks!

    Spending money for high school student on college campus for a month

    Thanks for all the responses so far. I was thinking about $25 each week, so glad to hear that is what you also think is a reasonable amount. I hadn't thought about linking checking accounts, that sounds like a good idea, for this program and beyond.

    Spending money for high school student on college campus for a month

    Hi all, I am preparing to send my Junior in high school off for a month to a summer program based at a college a few hours from our house. Food/housing/activities are all paid for, but she needs spending money. She will stay on campus in a dorm room with three roommates. I don't want to send...

    Eating off site

    second Ale House! Good food and reasonable prices. There are at least two locations convenient to Disney that we've visited-and we go every trip! If you have kids young enough for kids meals, they used to have a "kids eat free" night that was our favorite! Our kids are high school/college now...

    Clear vs Metal braces...opinions

    I have one dd in clear and one dd in metal. I like the clear better, doesn't show up as much in pics. Both are good brushers, and we haven't had any issues with staining. My dds drink sodas and eat mustard and ketchup and all that, with no problem. Even with clear on the top you can do the...

    Seven Dwarfs Mine Train FP+ Opening

    Although after I hit close it said I had a reservation for 1 so went back and did again (said reservation for 4 on that page) but after close, reservation for three. Went back, again, and finally after close said reservation for 4. Makes me nervous.

    What protein bar does your 14 your old girl like?

    Another vote for the Clif Bars. Peanut butter crunch and chocolate brownie. There's a macadamia nut zone bar that my DD14 loves, and I didn't think she would like it at all.

    Hi, We've had a hard time deciding on the details of our trip. First it was 3 days in the parks, then 4 and then "what the heck it's only $60 more" 5 days. But, I totally forgot that Sunday will be father's day. EEP! Someone mentioned that a few pages back (THANKS!) Will be in the...

    ¤*~*¤May/June 2013 ¤*~*¤Trip Planning Thread

    Thanks ColoradoLime! We have been looking around for "daytrips" because so much is within driving distance. San Diego does seem a good choice. We are also considering San Francisco, Yosemite, or even the grand canyon (it's only 5 hrs away from LA!), but, I don't want us to spend all our time...
