    Non Refrigerated Foods?

    Check out shelf stable foods. There are packets of tuna (some are flavored) chicken, etc. There is shelf stable milk, flavored milk, and other drinks, of course. Nuts, dried fruit, things like that. There are also prepacked snacks that are shelf stable and don't require refrigeration, like...

    Dreams Unlimited no response

    We tried booking through DU, a party of 20. Ended up going with another TA/company. Never could get a quote, and kept getting no where with trying to contact anyone at DU. Can't say as I'd recommend DU regardless of who the owner is.

    Gay Days 2015 - Help me a Dad Out

    Taking food into the park

    We often bring our own food and non-alcoholic drinks to the parks. We don't like counter service food, for the most part (although there are some decent choices in some places) and the quality of WDW food has fallen sharply in the past several years. In EPCOT there are several places where...

    Sorry Gene from the Yellow Fort Wilderness Boat

    Well, there IS another CM with the same name and the same assignment. The behavior of someone who is supposed to have the "stature" of Peter Werner, in tis case is irresponsible and not a little uncalled for. That he didn't like the way his mother was spoken to, indicates that he should have...

    Sex reassignment surgery paid for by the government....

    I wish I could say I'm surprised at the number of comments here that show no compassion and a complete lack of understanding for what it means to be transgender. However, this is the DIS, after all where ignorance reigns supreme for the most part. Doesn't any single one of you find it...

    Diabetics: Do You Eat Raw Oysters?

    Yes, I eat raw oysters, but I'm particular about where they have come from, and where I purchased them. I am Type 2 diabetic and I've never had a problem with any raw seafood (I like saumon tartar, also) or other undercooked meat. Although, to be fair, I don't much like undercooked beef...

    Etiquette--re: death

    I know it seems to be a good and kind thing to tell someone in this situation, or who has lost a loved one, "Let me know if you need anything," but actually that statement has very little help attached to it. Be specific. Don't offer to do something you don't want to do. As an example, you...

    "Gay Friendly" transportation between the parks

    Or perhaps he means a conveyance driven by someone who is not a homophobe as many people are. You do have to be concerned, especially when there are any number of cabbies who can be pretty miserable toward gay folk. If you've never experienced that, then good! But for those of us who have, it's...

    "Paper or Plastic?"

    We always use our own recycle bags. The baggers seriously don't know how to use them. I have had to stop them from putting heavy items on top of bread, etc. Now, I just thank them and bag my groceries myself. It's a lost art, I guess. :confused3 When I used to live in the city, I had paper...

    Beekman Boys, Amazing Race Winners

    Well, I don't watch Amazing Race, but I do know they won. Yes, I knew of them before the race, and that Brent is a doc and Josh is a writer. I've been to Beekman 1802 in Sharon Springs. It's a tiny little room with very limited merchandise. I did buy my wife a set for Christmas though...

    Halloween or Christmas?

    Truly depends upon your preference. WDW is beautiful at Christmas and is well worth seeing. The MNSSHP tends to be considered the "better" party (than MVMCP). If you want to dress in costume as a family, then Halloween is the time for you. You truly can't go wrong with either choice.

    Do you have any passed down family

    Yes, very many. Family and close friends. Some of us who inherited the recipes use them as inspiration, or a base and add our own touches. Others make them exactly as written. "Wine glass of zinfandel." You'd better know what wineglass she was referring to!

    What is the Best 4 Year Degree to Have?

    What do you mean by best? Most needed by the work place? Highest paying? Most needed seem to be teachers and nurses, depending on where you are. A BSN is a lucrative degree. Teaching depends on your state. Most can start with a Bachelor's, but many require that you earn a Master's after X...

    Adults in Costume for dinner

    Unless it is the the time frame that includes Halloween, Disney does not allow adults to dress in a manner that can be mistaken for a character. That extends to and includes brides in wedding apparel. Now, having said that there was a group of people in the WS yesterday at the FWF clearly...

    World Showcase Eats

    You don't have to pay cash only. You will spend more than a full service restaurant dinner, dining around the WS for FWF if you intend to use it as a meal. Each sample ranges from $3-$7 and is not enough to share. Some are not enough to offer more than one or two mouthfuls. So, doable...

    Bringing down the cost of restaurant bills

    Then don't dine out with someone who does do it. It's really that easy. OP, if it's something you do and are fine with, why are you seeking approval? If you are concerned that it might not be correct in some way, then you open yourself to what you are receiving, criticism. If the cost of...

    Foot_in_mouth_disease and my idiot SIL

    Could it be possible that your sister in law was having a bad day too, after dealing with things that upset her? Maybe there are things going on in her life that you aren't privy to.

    At WDW now. Best $10 I've spent in a while...

    Please just remember to do offer any tip quietly and privately. The CM can run into trouble if they are caught accepting money from a guest. It is a nice thing, the tipping of restroom workers. It's done in other places (some places even have tip dishes out for the purpose) so doing it at...
