My sympathies, having your fridge die right before Christmas.... :eek:

Well, I think that the dinner at CRT is being changed to a princess-bedecked character meal, similar to breakfast and lunch. There was a thread on this board on that very topic.... and several people were upset about it. They like the Fairy Godmother theme. Me, personally, I think that...

This thread is so helpful! Our visit this year is going to be short - only 5 days, but I'm definitely hoping for a full week next spring and I was hesitating about what company to use at Windsor Hills.

Thank you so much for the tip about arranging an early shuttle time to the airport, I didn't realize it would be busy early in the morning. If none of the hotels offer covered parking, then we will likely just go with clean and close to the airport. (we were originally thinking about the...

My DD (now 6) would NOT take a pacifier, she never dragged around a blankie, and never really seemed interested in stuffed animals. Now that she is older, she does have a "favorite of the moment" toy / doll / stuffed animal... the love affair lasts for a few days to a few weeks, and then she...

We're looking forward to what is turning out to be an annual February trip to WDW. This time we are flying out of Buffalo, and I'm looking for recommendations on good park 'n fly hotels near the airport. Our departure flight is very early in the morning (8am). So a good shuttle service...

My daughter is still 5, turning 6 soon. Luckily we don't let her watch TV commercials (she watchs shows available on DVDs from the library), and we make a point of avoiding toy stores after Thanksgiving, so that really cuts down on what she asks for. We like to have "Santa's gift" be...

This might sound gross... diaper rash ointment. It works miracles on skin irritations that are red / scraped / sore.

Here in Canada, it's Tim Horton's, not Starbucks, that everyone gift-cards for teachers.... but luckily, Timmies offers a very wide range of breakfast & lunch foods; bagels, muffins, sandwiches, soups... and of course, coffee!!! I honestly don't know of any Canadian that won't consume...

I had exactly the same problem. I'm a very good home cook, but with pot roast, there were soooo many variables. The size of the meat, the thickness, the amount of fat (depending on the cut).... all of this really threw me off. I tried oven roasting, stove top, crock pot... Finally, for me...

I feel very grateful for my own Christmas situation. I'm an only child with my parents living minutes away. So Christmas Day... they come over, watch DD open her gifts, eat a nice lunch, it's great. The day always feels so peaceful and happy. The ILs are currently snowbirding so they...

In my eyes, absolutely not! IMO, you've got a little boy who has gone through enough trauma and pain, and offering a "reward" (that also served as a great distraction) in such a circumstance isn't going to ruin his morals and character. You are the best judge of how to help your child...

.... what about a fancy rice dish? I like to make up a basmati rice but made with dried cranberries (and sometimes fried onions if the crowd is right). Very pretty and delicious with meatballs & sauce. Fry 1/2 onion (diced or sliced) in 3-4 tbsp olive oil. Add in dried cranberries (or...

Our DD is now 5, almost 6. We did POFQ this last February and a road trip this summer. So now we have tried every combination - same room, same bed, different beds, different "areas", and finally.... suites! Hallelujah! We have seen the light and will NEVER GO BACK. Two points: 1) If...

My suggestion is very similar. I put out Method's Hollyberry hand soap this time of year. It smells so nice and very Christmas-y. Every time someone washes their hands, there's a new hit of scent in the washrooms.

Thank you for the advice. Actually, it's an interesting situation. We're all 3 of us definitely going to MK for one day. We have CRT breakfast ressies, the whole bit. BUT.... DH is unsure of whether he wants to go for day 2. And we're not sure what the weather will be like, how much time...

We will be there Feb 8 - 12!

We did the same earlier this year. We put an entire container of breakfast/snack foods into our checked luggage. But I was pretty paranoid, so just to make sure, I only packed things that were prepackaged & sealed up. Even so, there was a lot of stuff that we were able to bring: cereals...

I agree - even if it's last minute, it could make someone happy! We had to cancel several ressies on our last trip - Ohana's & Boma's, and did it very last minute (we all had the flu). But instead of being annoyed in any way, the CM thanked us several times and mentioned how it makes life...

It's with Dollar - if you go directly to their site, click through on the "hot deal for this city" button (at least, I *think* that's what the button said?). The lowered price pops up on the compact model. It's $122 for 5 days, but with taxes & everything works out to $172. I'm going to...
