My husband works in downtown St. Louis and commutes from the northwest part of St. Louis county every day. We live in Florissant which is an easy commute to downtown, good housing prices, pretty ok schools, lots of shopping and restaurants, etc. Another good option for an easy trip into...

I'm surprised by how many of you actually have gifts for THIS Christmas already! I am feeling way behind. I can't pin my girls down on a wish list but I better get working on it.

Exact same thing at our house. Our kids are old enough now to understand that things cost money and they should be grateful to us for providing them. Santa still comes because my 9 year old still believes but he only brings 1-2 things for each child and now the pricier, more elaborate things...

What bothers me is the know-it-all who wants to give me all their advice and knowledge and yet keeps referring to Walt Disney World as Disneyland. Or the people who think they know everything about WDW because they went to Magic Kingdom only. Obviously there's a lot to know and a lot of...

No real shopping yet but already gathering ideas. With summer stuff starting to be marked down I have a few thoughts. Also all the back to school dorm room stuff gives me some ideas for my girls. I will probably pick up a few things over the next few weeks if prices are decent. I don't like...

I just used Walker a few weeks. I've used them several times before as well and have never been disappointed. The scooter was just as I requested, in great working order, and waiting for me when I arrived. I would recommend them very highly.

I also have trouble standing for very long and waiting in lines would be impossible for me. We just got back from WDW where I rented an offsite scooter to use for my entire stay. I don't think I ended up having to stand and wait for much of anything. We had fastpasses for Toy Story and...

We were there last week and were told by more than one cast member at more than one ride that our daughter had to be 12 to be able to ride without a parent AND she must meet the height requirement. She is 11 1/2 so from that point on she suddenly became 12 years old! She's over 5' tall so she...

My dh and daughter were able to ride it before it was shut down for the day. They didn't mention that anything had gone wrong when they were on it. I didn't read this entire thread so this may have already been mentioned. But, the day we were there so were hundreds and hundreds of kids on...

We were there May 1-May 7 and had one bit of rain the evening of May 6. The rest of the time it was sunny, breezy, and warmed into the low 90's but with fairly low humidity. Other than the hours of 12-4, we were very comfortable. During that time the sun felt hotter on our heads but that just...

We'll be there next week also employing the same strategy -- no ADR's and no park hopping. We've been many times before so we've seen and done it all before. This trip is just about hitting what we love most, fitting in whatever else we can and trying to relax by the pool. I just hope the...

By the time we get home I am tired of eating out and want to eat at home. Grilled cheese and tomato soup is a favorite and easy to prepare. Even something simple like scrambled eggs and toast is welcome, especially if we've spent vacation eating quick breakfasts in the room.

We always fly but I definitely feel like I use up every square inch of suitcase space. Even then there is always something we wish we'd have brought and always one or more things we could have done without. Packing is tricky and so many people try to replicate their at home experiences for...

I do most of my shopping at one store and often plan meals around what is on sale that week or what I may have on hand from the week before. I do find myself buying more and more at Target. They always have a good price on things like lunch meat, cheese, yogurt, cereal, etc, often better than...

I am a pretty large woman. I can fit between the armrests as more of my weight is midsection belly rather than hip and rear. I have been asked in the past by SW employees if I am aware of the size policy. I simply tell them I am and that I can fit just fine, not comfortably, but between the...

3 more days until we're on our way!!

I have a question about a scooter. Is there a way to adjust the seatback? Last year I endured a week long trip with the seatback very erect. I like just a tiny bit of tilt back similar to what I would do with my car seat at home. I don't want to recline, just go back enough to not be sitting...

I have used a scooter at WDW several times and will be rolling around the world for 8 days starting Tuesday. First of all, don't fear the buses with a scooter. I have always, always had good service and kind employees help me. When I line up for the bus wherever I might be doing so, I always...

"I once read a book about the five love languages and I am definitely one who shows loves by giving gifts. I'd rather see the look of happiness on my son's face than buy something for myself." Me too! It's so fulfilling to see that you've made your child happy. I love to sit with my hot...
