Sure! I want to just preface this with...we did not really do the day the "right" way. I wouldn't suggest our particular strategy for most families, but it worked for us. I know what my kids will be up for and what they will not, so this is a VERY abbreviated look at Paris. My dad and sister had...

Myself, my DH, my 2 DS (age 9) as well as my sister and father just returned from a 9 day trip to Europe, which included 3 nights around Paris. We stayed in a 3 bedroom unit at Marriott's Village d'ile-de-France. My sister and dad had stayed there before, and really enjoyed it. I thought it was...

Just an update, I decided to rent an ECV, since even a trip to the grocery store can be a challenge right now. Any ECV tips for a new user who is a) scared of it and b) not excited about going because I feel so awful?

Very, very begrudgingly, I am using an ECV on a trip coming up next week. I have been to the parks many times and for the first time in my life, I am NOT excited about going due to these stupid new health issues. But the trip was planned before things got bad and my kids are excited, so there...

Since my last trip to a Disney park, an underlying autoimmune condition has significantly worsened and I suffer from POTS due to it. Basically, if I stand up for too long, I get super light-headed and nauseous and feel like I might pass out. As long as I can walk around and keep moving (or...

Either you are being obtuse on purpose or your reading comprehension needs work. The point was, GPA is a better predictor of college success because it is harder to cheat. Teachers can grade based on effort, knowledge, work ethic and growth. Standardized tests grade only the bubble. That's why...

Yes, the same business people who are making millions of dollars on these poorly written and researched tests perhaps? Or the same business people who misnamed a three hour test, causing hundreds of children to have to retake a second test? Or the ones who failed to have the test translated into...

I love comedy podcasts, although sometimes I think I must look like an idiot while I laugh and run at the same time! Doug Loves Movies is a personal favorite, as they're usually about 50-60 minutes long and move along nicely. Dead Author's Podcast is great as well. Nerdist can be really good...

Finally made it home. As expected, I felt great for about 8 miles and then my hip totally gave out on me. I walked quite a bit more then I expected, but I'm not at all bummed out. I'm really proud of the work I put in and accomplished. I'm game for another half, but I think I need a lot of...

Argh, Trackshack is having website problems and my malware programs won't even let me got on. Printing at the Expo won't be an issue, right?

We have an 8:15 ADR for 1900 Park Fair and will be heading to Epcot afterwards. Our first FP+ is at 9:40. We're staying off-site and driving ourselves. What's the easiest and most efficient way to handle parking? Park at GF then drive over to Epcot Park at TTC and monorail to GF, then monorail...

Corral J here! I'm in the midst of a super painful hip thing that is probably related to the new insoles I got to help with a foot thing. Ugh! My 12 miler this week had to be cut short to 10.5, because I was basically limping along for the last 2 miles or so. Seeing the PT on Monday but I think...

We have a party of 6 booked at Ohana's at 8:30 one morning, and my aunt and uncle have decided to join us. There are no reservations for 8 available at a good time, nor is there a party of 2 available at the same time. Will they turn us away if they just show up?

Sunshine Seasons in Epcot has a number of options that he might like. I eat a similar diet and I've been going over menus like crazy!

My dad bought park hoppers for my sister and himself through the Disney website. I was able to link his ticket to my MDE by email inviting him. However, I can't figure how to link my sister's. It says the ticket number is attached to an account--my dad's? What can I do to get hers linked as well?

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm actually considering a crazy scheme of getting a one way rental TPA to Orlando, then picking up a MUCH cheaper rental there.

If you're interested in farming, a nice little afternoon trip in Maui is to visit the Ocean Vodka farm and the Surfing Goat farm (they are right next to each other). Take the vodka tasting tour first, then sober up with a great cheese plate. http://oceanvodka.com/our-farm/our-farm-tours/...

Thanks! I liked the course a lot, it's not far from my house and I will probably run again next year. My friends usually do the Beat the Bridge in May which is always the same day at the Snohomish Women's run; I'll have to decide between the two!

Hooray, my proof of time 10K was this morning and it went well. I was hoping for a 1:20 finish, and I think I finished in 1:16! Being slower really helped me out today too, it was a combined 10K/Half out and back, and the turn around point was really unclear for the faster runners. By the time I...

We moved to the Seattle area 8 years ago from the San Fransisco Bay Area, and honestly we LOVE it here. We live in a suburb at the north part of Lake Washington and I like how easy it is to get everywhere in the area. However, based on your situation, I think Issaquah or Sammamish would be a...
