    Skipper Canteen "push"

    We went there about a week ago and loved it. Our appetizer (arepas) and dessert (kungaloosh) were absolutely fabulous!

    Thoughts on Skipper's Canteen

    It definitely isn't the burger and chicken nugget fare you find everywhere else (thank goodness). We're looking forward to going back and trying the falafel, having the Arepas again, and then eating dessert. Best dessert I've ever had.

    Thoughts on Skipper's Canteen

    On a short trip to visit the Mouse, we were lucky enough to be first in line one day for Skipper's Canteen. The menu is much different that the Mouse's normal fare...and a welcome surprise! We were seated at what others gushed was the best table in the house...surrounded by mounted butterflies...

    Review of Animator's Palate on Disney Dream

    My husband and I recently got off the Dream, taking a 3-day cruise. We've both cruised with Disney before (as well as other lines). On Disney it's always been on the Magic. We were both horribly disappointed with our experience at Animator's Palate on the Dream (though we previously enjoyed it...

    Hi everyone, We just booked this cruise to celebrate our son's high school graduation. Excited to join in the fun (and the FE group, if there is one). Karen

    Tell me about living in West Virginia

    I think for me, it was a huge culture shock. While folks were friendly, it was clear that I would never "fit in" as I wasn't from WV and I didn't understand the local colloquialisms (or slang) or have the right accent. With one mall in the valley (and a second in Huntington) I had a hard time...

    Would you be upset?

    Remember, you are the BOSS in your life and affairs...including medical. If the doctor that you employ is dismissing you, then you should dismiss (i.e., fire) them. Yes, I had to learn this the hard way too. Frankly, I pay good money to my doctor (Ok, my insurance helps too), but I'm the...

    Tell me about living in West Virginia

    Hi, We're from St. Louis. My husband and I moved there just after graduating from college and moved back to St. Louis a few years later. What I liked about the community was the scenery and how friendly folks were. What I didn't like about it was how small of a community it was, the fact I...

    CPAP machine?

    Do you know if your husband will be using a CPAP or a BiPap? Make sure he understands his prescription before he goes to the DME provider. Also, he can read up on the different machines on the internet. My husband's most recent machine fits in the palm of his hand (without the humidifier) and...

    CPAP machine?

    So, my DH has used one for about 8 years now. What a difference! Before, his snoring could wake the dead. Now, he hardly ever snores (and then, just lightly if he has a cold). Beyond the snoring, sleep apnea is a significant health concern. Individuals with sleep apnea are at higher risk...

    Bathrobe and slippers

    I'd wear my LLBean Wicked Good Slippers everywhere if I could. Bathrobe, sometimes...but slippers, all the time. Good thing I work from home! Karen

    Brussels, Belgium help (chocolate lovers?)

    We prefer Leonidias...and so does the dog who ate nearly 5 pounds (all but one piece) about 4 years ago...and she never even got sick! My DH and I have both gone quite a few times to Brussels and we always head for Leonidias...that and Kwak beer. Karen

    Good or bad. Tell me about your Sleep Number bed

    Had one and hated it for most of the reasons listed above. Also, we found that the foam around the outside and between the two sides didn't hold up well. We paid quite a bit of $$ for the darned thing and ditched it 2 years later. Personally, I could sleep on anything, but my DH suffers from...

    I just don't understand the value of packing cubes.

    As the PP said, they are very lightweight and allow me to keep things sorted. I also find I can cram so much more into a smaller bag that I very rarely use my large suitcase anymore. For example, I was able to get an entire week of clothing for a cruise, including formal wear and extra shoes...

    Parents of children with asthma or respiratory issues – advice please

    Hi OP, I developed asthma when I was 9. My son has had respiratory issues since he was 18 months -- he's 16 now. I jokingly tell my friends that when Andrew gets a cold, we go from basic sniffles to OMG in less time than it takes a race car to do a lap. It's not quite that bad, but it's...

    Help talk me down..total freak out about having a c-section

    Hi OP, Here's the blunt truth -- your experience will be unique to you including the birth and the next 18 years of your child's life. Don't let anyone scare you because their experience was unique to them. Will you have troubles -- yes, life is full of them. But you, your husband, your child...

    BLT Top of the World Lounge

    Thanks all for your responses. Normally, if we were at WDW longer we would rent a scooter for Pop and use transportation as normal. Since this will be our only night there and we are hopping a cruise ship the next day, we didn't want to rent a scooter for just the one day. Hopefully the guys at...

    BLT Top of the World Lounge

    Hi all, My family and I are staying at AKL using our DVC points for a few days before a cruise. I was thinking that we might go to The Top of The World Lounge and watch wishes one night. So here's my question. One member of our party is an older gentleman (my dad) with mobility issues...

    Hi All! Two additions to our list for FE questions in bold, below.... 1. Give me your Disboard name (if you have one) 2. Give me your family last name 3. Give me your stateroom number (if guarantee, then just put GTY) 4. Give me sex and ages of those in each cabin (i.e., F14, M12) or...
