    Why me?????

    Aren't you all just the nicest people to worry about my tiny problem!! :grouphug: ntsammy5 and NC Belle, hi there! Glad to see that you survived the heat at DW and made it back home safely. We got home on the 13th which was our anniversary but were too worn out to do any more celebrating...

    Butternut Squash Soup from AKL

    The Campbell's Select is lumpy too. Ugh!! I will report back if I can find a can of the WGP soup and let you know how it stacks up. I am sure it cannot be as good but anything to get me through until our next trip. I gotta go chop up some butternut squash so I can make the recipe. (not...

    Tell me about: Wolf Gang Puck's Cafe (Table Service)

    We ate at Puck's, the downstairs sitdown restaurant twice on our 3 week trip. We chose it for our last day as we wanted to do something special that day. I cannot reccomend it enough. I had the Butternut Squash Soup and Pumpkin Ravioli both times and upgraded to the Flourless Chocolate Cake...

    Why me?????

    I just noticed that my over 6,000 postings have been reduced down to under 100. Could it be because I was gone for a whole month? I was at DW, does not that count for SOMETHING???? I could understand if I had wandered over to the Dark Side but I did not even read anything about it let...

    Aug/Sept Free Dining or Christmas?

    We have done both and I have to say that I would go with the pre Christmas trip. Of course that is because I cannot abide heat and it was too darned hot for me at 90 degrees and even lower on our recent trip. Also the free dining was just too much food. I cannot imagine how it would...

    Just back from WDW and have some thoughts

    We were lucky enough to catch the Jungle Cruise during a slow time and were the only ones on our boat. The 'driver' knew that we were regulars as we had ridden with him on his previous round. He offered us a 'guided tour' of all the secrets behind the attraction and it really made our day...

    Butternut Squash Soup from AKL

    Ever since I had my first bowlful of Butternut Squash soup at Boma's I have been in love. :love: I am not even a soup type person. I saw it on the menu at Tony's but it was gone when we were there however I had it at Wolfgang Puck's. I am not gourmet enough to know if it was the same as...

    EWP group?

    Colleen, you are so right about familarity breeding contempt. I do not want to spend 24/7 with myself. lol I did fix two plates of food and left Tom sitting in front of the tv. He was still there when I returned many hours later. That is where he would have been if I had not left. At least...

    Anyone been to All Star Sports recently?

    We have stayed at the Sports quite a few times, most recently from mid Sept thru mid Oct and everything was just fine. I had to ask for a new phone as the button that makes it louder did not work but that can happen anywhere. Go, have fun, make your child happy. You will have a good time...

    Is Downtown Disney worth checking out?

    If I were a short timer at DW I would probably skip DTD but since we go for extended periods of time we usually give it a try or two, just for something to do early in the morning or late at night. It is sort of like walking around Boardwalk in that there are different things to see and it is a...

    EWP group?

    Colleen, do not forget to use the new Western Way exit while wending your way from The Villages to DW. You will come out on a new exit just between Coronado Springs and the All Stars. Yet another reason to stay at the AS to my way of thinking. Location, location, location and they have it...

    Roller Shoes at Disney World

    These words sum up my thoughts exactly. I am sure that if I had ever been run into by someone on 'wheels' I would feel differently than I do right now. When I was younger I had a poster on my bedroom wall that said "Your right to swing your arms ends where my nose begins". :thumbsup2...

    Double Pooh Sized Guest

    I am fat, obese, morbidly obese, whatever. It is a fact of life. It is not that I like being so, I fight it each and every day in spite of being on prednisone and several other medications that make it even more difficult to trim down. I exercise, I watch what I eat, most of the time and I...

    Roller Shoes at Disney World

    I am an overprotective parent/grandparent and very big on following the rules HOWEVER I spent a lot of time people watching while in the parks recently and I did see quite a few young people with the wheels in their shoes. I never saw one bump into anyone. Might be because you could not really...

    **Not Happy** with DDP and also was it "supposed" to be Free ??

    The OP might have done better to have traded some of their TS credits in toward 1 CS and 2 snacks. If it were not for the DIS boards I would not have known that was possible. I also agree with the poster who suggested that DW let you choose more TS or CS to suit each family. I think that...

    Word of caution, save your Dining Plan receipts

    The CM at our resort CS accidentally only charged us ONE CS credit for one meal instead of the TWO it should have been. I brought it to her attention and she said she must have hit the wrong button and told me to enjoy. We gave it to a grandma who had her grandson with her. He had Celiac...

    Our experiences with the DDP 2 weeks ago

    We just back from an extended stay and about half the time we were told we could only have a medium drink on CS but could always get a large drink with the snack credit. It seemed a tad bit cheap to me. Not Disneylike at all. Bet they change that sometime. At one resort CS we were told we...

    EWP group?

    Howdy Colleen~! Yet another thing to add to my 'to do' list, the walk from the Poly to the GF. lol I plumb forgot your suggestion with all the other new things we did. :confused3 I would have never paid actual money for the luau. The food was mediocre and the show was mildly...

    Healthier WDW menu NOT just for children...link

    Ghost, I totally understand your aversion to some of the dissent that sometimes crops up around here. I think that ignoring the ones that are outrageous by not replying to them and such would work pretty well. It worked on my kids and now my grandkids. :thumbsup2 I am obese (although...
