Might I suggest sending a regrets card, along with a mailed gift? Perhaps the following, one of my favorite books... http://www.amazon.com/Things-You-Need-To-Told/dp/042518370X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369888864&sr=8-1&keywords=etiquette+grrls ;)

I can't help you with the reception problem, but for the battery issue, download the (free!) Juice Defender app. My current phone rocks, but my last one had TERRIBLE battery life. Juice Defender took me from 3-4 hours to 8-10, just using the standard settings, without any (too complicated for me...

Several years ago, I had a similar billing snafu with (can't remember if it was the electric or cable company) one of my utilities. I called the Public Utilities Commission - check in the government / blue pages - and they gave me an unpublished phone number for the company. Calling that...

Heh. If I ever figure that out, I'll let you know. I'm glad it's working for you! :)

iTunes is the way to go IMO. It has all the flexibility you mentioned above. AFAIK, the only mix limit is no more than 10 copies burnt of the same mix. (Which is silly anyway, because you can create unlimited identical mixes with different titles, but I digress.) Depth is very good, there...

Now, Steve, I've known you for a long time - don't try to :sunny: your way out. ;) I fully understand that my budget is in-a-bad-way-outrageous, and am okay with that! It helps that (until I win the lottery) I really don't care about my hotel room, and therefore have no problems staying at...

Talk to MisterDisney and Kevin - a few months ago, they had "just" dessert at the Bistro de Paris in Epcot. Every dessert on the menu. EVERY one. *sigh* :)

:wave: Outrageous spender, checking in. :) My food budget for my upcoming SOLO trip is ~$100/day.

Always and forever, Taco Bell Cinnamon Crispa's! That twisty business they have now skeeves me right out - it's like cinnamon sugar pork rinds / packing peanuts. NO THANKS. (It's a good thing none of my RL friends or family post here. They've all heard numerous renditions of the crispa vs...

This is a total side note, but in case your tax refund check comes in and you want to blow some on a nice pair of brand***** jeans... Try Rock'N'Republic. I'm not sure what the measurement is, but I'm 5'6" and wear ~ 4" heels, and the couple of RNR's I tried on were still dragging on the...

I'm sure that's part of it, but I also think the sharing, in and of itself, can cost the restaurants - and the servers!! - money. WDW restaurants aren't like "normal" restaurants where if the "sharing" party wasn't there, the table would go empty. They're generally full all the time, with...

Am I the only person who thinks that sounds awesome, particularly on a hot park day? :)

I'm just like your DH - I rarely if ever eat counter service lunch or dinner, and get great joy out of spending "4-6 hours per day" at two TS meals. After doing the math, I'm still going to get the dining plan for my February solo trip. Even if I use ONLY the snack and the TS, and let the CS...

To the OP: As a recent convert, I know that sounds like a huge PITA, but trust me, it's worth it. :) The Ding! rates can be VERY cheap. Plus, with Southwest's pricing policy, you can always rebook if you find a cheaper rate before you leave. I just changed my reservation for a trip to...

Personally, I prefer servers that skip the "typical WDW server spiel." Rude is never acceptable, but chattiness in a server isn't my thing. I don't penalize for it or anything like that, but I prefer "correct" service.

Would I "prefer" Sesame Street to a screeching toddler? Yes. But that's not saying much - I "prefer" a trip to the dentist with only one cavity filling vs. two, but it's still not how I want to spend my afternoon.

The guidebooks say that Pebbles, in the Crossroads shopping center across the street from Downtown Disney, is good local seafood, but I've never eaten there myself. Is he opposed to coming on property for dinner? If not, California Grill, Jiko, Artist Point, and Palio would be my recommendations.

Aussie 2 Minute Miracle "Deeeeep" Conditioner (that's really what it's called! :) ) is the best ever, and it's about $3, or less if I can catch it on sale. I do still use Aveda color care shampoo because I have blonde hair dyed black, which is a hot mess waiting to happen, but will never...

That happens to me, too! Isn't that funny? For every couple of people that thank me for helping (via my DisneyOCD, parking lot problems notwithstanding), there's a third who acts like I'm ruining their day by explaining that the Tree of Life is not at the Lodge.

Heh. Yeah, I remember that from when I lived in New Orleans. Good times. But at any rate, referring to everything at the World as "Disney" makes more sense than just MK, IMO. True story sample conversation: Uncle: "Did you girls have fun at Epcot today?" Aunt: "No, we went to Disney...
