    I’m here now, and have seen racks full of the rose gold ears in multiple gift shops at multiple parks.

    Customized Dog Tag Location

    We bought tags for our dogs when we were at the World in July. Ours were purchased at the big gift shop in Dinoland at AK. However, I saw a machine at the Space Mountain gift shop in MK (not sure if that one had the mickey head or not). Just a warning though: I probably wouldn't buy these...

    School open houses

    I am a high school teacher. I teach mostly juniors, and all levels (our school uses Academic as the lowest level, then College Prep., then Honors). One interesting observation that I make every year at open house deals with parent attendance. The Honors classes have almost 100% parent...

    Hertz Car Rental $7 per day!

    Great deal! But I agree with others - make sure you can truly fit in an economy car. Having just rented a Hertz economy a couple weeks ago, we were given a Chevy Spark (http://www.chevrolet.com/spark-city-car.html). It was roughly the size of a roller skate. It barely fit the two of us and our...

    7D Mine Train FastPass+ Glitch?

    Glad you had a positive outcome to this OP! Although now I'm confused and questioning my memory! We just got back from a trip July 5-13th. I made our FP+ reservations at the 60 day mark (so beginning of May) and was able to select 7DMT. I remember waking up very early that morning to make...

    Caught Between Diagon Alley and a Hard Place

    I'm right there with you. We inadvertently planned our days at Universal for July 4th/5th to avoid the crowds at Disney. We had no idea Diagon alley would be opening so close to our vacation (poor research/not thinking on our part). We've already decided we're going to take advantage of...

    Renting DVC and magic bands

    Sorry if this question was already answered, and I'm just being dense, but.... My husband and I are planning a split stay trip to the world July 5-8, and 9-13 (we're spending the night of the 8th in Port Charlotte visiting family). Anyhow, I was researching renting DVC for our stay, and it...

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part One [Thread now FULL and closed]

    I will definitely post some pictures then! I'll put them up on the picture thread (and post a link in this thread). But, that will have to wait until tomorrow, as that will be my first free moment to get those done - gotta love returning from vacation to a ton of work! Vacation was so nice...

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part One [Thread now FULL and closed]

    My husband and I just returned from an 8 day, 7 night stay at POR. This was our first time staying on Disney property, and overall we were very pleased with our choice of Riverside. The resort is absolutely gorgeous, and we loved the general atmosphere. Here are some of my observations from...

    Port Orleans Riverside Q&A Thread 2013, Part One [Thread now FULL and closed]

    We are here now (4/20-4/27) :) This is our first time staying on property and we are absolutely loving POR. We have a room in AB building 26 second floor garden view. We had booked a standard view. It was a nice surprise being upgraded at check-in. For the poster who asked about the...

    Seattle trip suggestions

    The Ballard Locks are pretty neat to visit. The grounds are beautiful, and I found it fascinating watching the process of getting boats from the lake out into the bay. https://www.seattle.gov/tour/locks.htm Enjoy your visit! I absolutely love Seattle, and can't wait to return...

    Tell me about Maine...on a budget...please!

    I live in NH, and my husband and I go on an annual "moose watch" trip. We try to visit areas that are known to have a high moose population. The last two years we've gone up to Moosehead lake and haven't seen a single moose! Just goes to show you that even in areas where there are more moose...

    BOG - get over it!

    I'll be another one to jump in and say that we got BOG reservations less than 180 days out from our trip. We'll be going the last full week of April, and just made our trip plans last week. When we tried to get a BOG ressie last week, nothing was available. On a whim, I decided to try for...

    June airfare - WOW!

    We just booked our trip for end of April, and found the same thing. Flights going out of Boston to MCO were horrifically expensive, and the flight times/paths were miserable (most were requiring at least 1 layover with a total travel time close to 8 hrs). This probably isn't an option for...

    Am i crazy?

    Glad they let you exchange the medication! Just to give you a little peace of mind (hopefully): I am also on Singulair and got switched over to the generic on my last refill. I started taking the generic a week ago and haven't noticed a difference between it and the name brand Singulair. :)

    OT - Puppy snapping and growling at my kids (update on post #54)

    Sounds to me like you are seeing a classic case of resource guarding: http://www.paw-rescue.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_ResourceGuarding.html I'm glad that you have your trainer coming over to help you out. Another great resource is the website www.mysmartpuppy.com They have some great trainers...

    Yellow gold---White gold?

    There is no such thing as white gold. White gold jewelry is simply gold dipped in rhodium or alloyed with other silver colored metals. So as others have mentioned above, to turn your gold jewelry to white gold, all you'd need to do is have a jeweler dip it in rhodium.

    Is there anything I can't use Disney GC for?

    We are going to Disneyland in April. Can we use these GCs to purchase tickets at the gate?

    What are your thoughts on my Parent-Teacher conference.

    Surely the teacher does practice problems on the board for the class? Tell your son to show as much work as the teacher does when teaching how to solve those problems.

    Where to get a makeup kit/collection?

    I third elf! I've seen elf makeup kits at Target - but even if they don't specifically have the kits, the individual pieces are so inexpensive you could easily make your own kit with a lot of makeup for $20. And IMO, the makeup is pretty decent quality considering the price. (I love using their...
