    Dumbo Sized

    I have been Pooh sized, bordering on Dumbo sized for all of my Disney trips. I have never been unable to ride a ride at WDW. My top weight for a Disney trip was around 340 and I'm 5'8. I carry my weight fairly proportionally across my whole body. FOP has been a tight squeeze in the past, and...

    ME ending next year?

    I guess it looks like we will be going back to towncars to get to and from MCO. Which is an extra $200+ in the budget for each trip. We haven't really needed one in so long that I barely remember how they work. But we used to get one for every trip pre-ME. They would have a driver that would...

    Holiday Specials to be filmed Nov 7-10

    I'm really hoping this doesn't impact the crowds too bad. We have had our plans in place for months and then they schedule this. Our first park day is 11/9 at AK which should be fine, but we plan to be at MK on 11/10. Fortunately we have our FP and our ADR and then can check out for a nice...

    Poly 7 Months out?

    It is getting harder and harder to get non-home resort at 7 months out. Buy where you want to stay. Fortunately we love AKV and will always be happy there, but it is nice to stay at Poly sometimes, but I am currently waitlisted for the standard view on the first night of a four night trip in...

    Experience with Kids Nite Out

    So we had planned on DD going to Simba's Cubhouse when we originally booked our upcoming trip and planned one night for DH and I to have dinner at Jiko just the two of us, but I just found out Disney no longer has that and the new Pixar thing at Contemporary is for age 4 and up and DD will have...

    Amazon Prime Now delivery

    Thanks for posting this, we'll be doing this for the first time in December at Kidani. We don't need a lot of things so a Garden Grocer Order doesn't make sense, but we want to have some breakfast things and a few sundries delivered and as Prime members this seems to be the way to go.

    Anyone meal plan like me?

    This totally looks like my meal planning though I'm starting to get more realistic. I started this week with BLTs and Breakfast for dinner planned for two nights and leftovers of the lasagna DH is making planned for a third night. I think there is only one night that I was planning on making...

    "Official" 2017 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Boo to You!

    We are really hoping for September 7th as we arrive on the 1st and that would be too much for the first day with our not quite 2 y.o.

    Tiffins?

    We ate there in September and loved it, it was easily the best meal of our trip and already have it on the schedule for our trip this upcoming September.

    dvc member services and my cancer

    I'm glad you had such a great experience with member services and that your prognosis is so good. Sending you wishes for good health. We had a similar experience in 2014. My DH and I planned to go for our anniversary in October and had borrowed points to book 3 nights at a studio at GFV...

    Car Seats in Cabs

    Okay we will be doing a trip this September, which will be our DD's first trip, she will be 10 mo. old at the time. We will be bringing a car seat for the plan ride and for DME, but we don't want to lug it around everywhere on property. Does anyone know if the cabs on Disney property generally...

    Baby Floats

    Thanks for the information. I will probably sign her up for a baby swim class this summer to get her comfortable with the water. We'll be staying at BWV and I'm not very familiar with their pool or water play area.

    Baby Floats

    Does Disney allow baby floats in their resort pools. We will be going with our DD in September and she will turn 11 months about 3 days after our trip. DH figures our trip will be a good chance to start teaching her to get comfortable with pools and splashing in the water. I would like to get...

    DH Thanked Me for DVC

    So DH and I bought our first DVC contract in 2004 and have added on a couple of times since then. We now have enough points for at minimum 8 nights a year in a one bedroom. DH has always joked about how I and our DVC rep talked him into it, though he loves our vacations and the memories we...

    The Dragonriders of Pern (book series) Battlestar Galactica (new, not old) The Tudor Monarchy (the real history, historical fiction, clothing, food, pretty much everything from that time period)

    Where to stay in Washington DC?

    I often recommend the Holiday Inn Washington-Capitol. It's a great location, just a block or so off of the National Mall. It's a an easy walk to the Capitol, many of the museums, and it's easy to get to many tour group locations. Another good location is the Phoenix Park Hotel, also right by...

    Boycotting the Oscars

    I actually agree with most of your points, having worked theater for years and having seen the under representation of black actors in roles on the stage, it is truly disturbing. For most fiction work the race of the character should not matter, and the fact that black actors are under cast is...
