    Official Star Wars Weekends Thread Tips and Tricks 2015

    I just got a reservation for Sci-Fi on Monday, May 18 at 8am. Is this a glitch in Disney's system, or are the Star Wars character breakfasts available all week? (We're returning to SWW after a five year hiatus)

    Taking A Friend's Child on Vacation

    Haven't asked him yet. This is all in the very preliminary stages. I'm just wondering what we might be getting ourselves into. My friend would be handling all of this stuff, but it would be like the father to give permission now and reverse his decision later, and we don't want to get Anna's...

    Taking A Friend's Child on Vacation

    Hello! My best friend has a seven (almost eight) year old daughter, Anna. Anna has been begging to join us on an upcoming trip to WDW/Universal ever since she could speak, and my friend and I feel she is at the right age for her to join DH, DS, and myself on our next trip (we are looking at...

    Does anyone take special mother/child trips?

    I will hopefully be doing that with DS14 this October...we both want to run the ToT 10-Miler, but DH will be working at Six Flags as a Fright Fest scare-actor, so he won't be able to get the time off. I also plan on taking him to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal as well...DS is a fan of all...

    How Do I Surprise the kids?

    We surprised our DS a couple of years ago. We told him he had a morning doctor appointment with a new doctor (since our previous doc changed offices, this made perfect sense to DS), so we were taking him out of school for the morning and then taking him out for lunch. We told him as we were...

    What are you getting your Teen DS's this Christmas?

    DS is getting DH's old computer with Minecraft loaded. The computer works fine...it's just not working for DH's video editing needs, so he had to upgrade. We just need to purchase a new monitor for it and it'll be good to go...

    Tax refunds

    I posted this on another thread, but thought it would be appropriate here too... :goodvibes I had to call the IRS about a separate issue yesterday, and when I finally got a live person (only took 30ish minutes! :cool1:), I mentioned the delay in processing that I saw on the website. I was...

    Tax Refund Question

    I spoke with the IRS yesterday about a different issue, and mentioned the delay in processing on the website. I was told that even though returns with the 8863 form (the education credits) were accepted by the IRS on 2/14, the system actually did not start processing most of them until Monday...

    How many credit hours is your college student taking?

    I am taking 15 credit hours this semester (I graduate in May), plus three internships. Ironically, the work load seems to be a lot easier than last semester, where I had 12 credit hours and no internships... :rolleyes:

    "Older"- going back to school??

    My grandmother went back to school and graduated at the top of her class with her ASN at the young age of 65. Worked as an RN for another ten years and finally retired. I figure if she can do it, anyone can! Go for it! You won't regret it - I guarantee it! Best of luck to you and anyone...

    Anyone NOT tell their kids about their trip until the morning of?

    We surprised our 9 year old with our last trip. We pulled him out of school for the trip, so we told him that he had a doctor's appointment the morning we were due to leave. Since DS's usual physician is south of us, we said this was a new doctor so he wouldn't be suspicious of the fact that we...

    Names other than 'grandma.'

    My parents (DS's grandparents) are Grandma and Grandpa, as well as DH's mother. Sometimes, we say "Grandma Julie" for DH's mom, as we don't see her all that often due to distance. DS knows who is who...DH and I use the first names to make it easier on us. My maternal grandmother was known as...
