We're going to be at WDW Jan 3 for a short stay (third this year). I had booked Pop, where I've almost always stayed, but got a call today offering a free upgrade to CSR. The only thing I know about it is my brother stayed there a couple of years ago, and we met him there for dinner - he wasn't...

We got some Pixie Dust today - we had planned a short stay at Pop for Jan 3. I've always stayed at the Values, and almost exclusively at Pop. But I got a call today saying we had been upgraded to Coronado Springs. I went there once - met my brother and his family, and had dinner there, but he...

Is everybody ready for Sept. 10? :love:

I have oversized double sliding patio doors. The doors face west, and are smack in the middle of my open kitchen/family room. When we built the house in 2000, I put up vertical blinds, but they're dated and ugly. I'm looking for something that's more in style, easy to use, but will keep out the...

My DS and his GF definitely crossed paths. My husband's family were the first white settlers of a town in the Chicago area (several generations ago), and about 18 years ago, a school in that town changed its name to honor one of those settlers. My mother in law and the rest of us were invited to...

I'm a sci fi tv reviewer (for threeifbyspace.net). My faves are Syfy's Dark Matter - season 3 started this past Friday night. You can get 1 and 2 on Netflix. Killjoys, a show I reviewed for the last 2 years, starts season 3 on June 30 - excellent!!! I also review Colony, which some people...

How old are the kids? Young enough that they have to stay with you the entire time? Middle- to early high-school where they could go off on their own but have to stay in the parks? All of that factors into how you plan. If you have extra younger kids with you who aren't used to the Dumbo or die...

We did this just a couple of weeks ago, and now i'm totally spoiled. It was between the two small shops on the Futureworld side. The area opened at 8 pm. There were no chairs - so be aware of that. I came in on a scooter, and they had teh area right along the railing reserved for disabilities...

Studies have shown that girls tend to be less outspoken, and participate less, in classes, especially math and science, when boys are present. Girls-only classes are intended to help girls find confidence in math and science. And girls tend to be interested in boys at a certain age, and pay more...

My friend's son has a therapy cat at college, and believe me, it's made a huge difference. He has severe anxiety and depression that aren't completely helped with meds, and tried to kill himself while he was in school. Petting animals has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety. If...

I've been very lucky, in that I've had the chance to meet and interview most of my crushes - Sam Heughan, Tom Ellis, Colin Cunningham (and I hear you all saying, WHO??? Outlander, Lucifer, Falling Skies...). I still have to get to Benedict Cumberbatch and Jeremy Renner.

We did the Illuminations dessert party 2 weeks ago. It was completely worth it. The desserts were very good, champagne, several wines and lemonade was available, and the location to watch the show (between the two shops on the Future side of Epcot) can't be beat. Only complaint is that there are...

We have a large MB, but it's poorly laid out and a big waste of space. Tiny shower, jetted tub, 2 sinks - but no storage other than under the cabinet, and no place to put storage because of 6-foot window on the only large wall. I've wanted to redo the bathroom - turn the shower into a linen...

Frankly, I thought these little guys were weird looking when I first saw them. But I'm a big fan of the Outlander book and TV series (I review and write about it), and when they introduced Outlander Pops, I had to have them. Since then, I've bought a Cinderella, a 12th Doctor, a Doctor Strange...

MY DH, whose nearest relative is Grumpy, used the MagicBands for the first time two weeks ago on our trip (I did too). I'd had a hard time getting him around to the idea of staying on property, but he really liked the whole MagicBand thing, and I think that actually pushed him over the edge of...

My son and his GF went to WDW about a month ago. She had made the reservation and never added him, so she had a MagicBand and he didn't. As a gift, I bought him a Star Wars MagicBand - and he lost it the 2nd day of their trip. Guest Services gave him a plain green one. They never "had time" to...

Two years ago, at Epcot during the F&G. Leaned on a little fence in front of a topiary by Spaceship Earth, but that section happened to be a gate, and it was missing the latch, so I fell right through and onto my keyster. I have a bit of a mobility issue, and couldn't get up, so two passers-by...

You didn't know this about these parents before you traveled with them? I'm so sorry!

By 7 pm, they've packed up security and they're done for the night. We came in late a couple of times and saw no security (last week). They're being much more thorough with the bags then they were the last time we were there, 2 years go - EVERY little pocket is being checked, they're using the...

Couldn't tell you, sorry! We went to Fantasmic. so we weren't looking.
