We converted a couple years ago. We had many reasons for our change, but mostly because the children are getting older (along with the parents). We find uni is so easy and everything is so close. We walk everywhere (we may take the boat back to portofino after a long day). No finding a seat on a...

This is the price I paid in August to renew our passes. Almost let it slip through my fingers, but made it within our 30 day renewal window. So glad we did renew. I knew we'd regret it if we didn't - even if we don't plan to go as much as we did last year. We really got our money's worth from...

It's really coming along. We just returned from a short visit, and I can't believe the progress (from even a month ago). We rode dragon challenge in ioa and saw the progress on the expansion over there as well. In the few seconds I was in the air, I saw the track and building. Looks very good...

We usually buy our tickets in the morning the day of the show. Sometimes we would also plan out our shows for the duration of our trip and buy all the ones we can at the ticket center (we used the one in sevierville). We don't always like to plan ahead, but we would often get our tickets in the...

We chew ginger gum. My mom also wears these wrist bands to help with motion sickness ( she bought them for a cruise and she could dance the night away on some very rough seas). She forgot to put her bands on one evening, but just sat in the stationary seats on DM and she was fine with that.

I'm very excited about the direction Universal is headed! With two children with very different tastes and experiences, I think UO offers so much to keep everyone happy. I especially love how we can take a relaxed pace and not have to plan every minute of our day. We've been going off and on...

That bag really caught my eye. I don't like having to worry about the lockers so I try to wear cargos or something with button pockets for my phone and cards, passes, etc. but I still worry about my stuff in my pockets. I don't care for fanny packs, but I got to researching that little bag. I...

Got here at 9:30 this morning too and thought it was very cold. Warmed up nicely this afternoon and enjoyed the afternoon by the pool. Decided to pick today as our pool day. We'll be bundled at the parade and concert tomorrow too :) As long as there is sunshine, all is well!

Awesome! Thanks for the pictures. I was going to search to see if anyone had any 2013 photos/videos posted anywhere. We will be visiting for our 1st Mardi Gras visit next weekend, and I'm so excited about the parade (and I'm looking forward to the concert too). I know next weekend will be...

I have enjoyed your TR (I have been keeping up with you, but finally took the time to comment). Your pictures are great! We have been debating on when to make the trip back to IOA and US. Life has just been extremely busy with grad school and the kids' activities. We finally took the plunge...

I can't wait to read more about PBH and the rest of your trip. We just booked our first stay at PBH for later in July. We debated going this year and just decided to go for it! We went in 2009 (stayed at RPH that time) and are excited to go back and see HP (and DS 12 is finally tall enough...

I can't say anything about your destinations, but we did the AG getaway in Atlanta. We had the best week-end! We had the cookies and milk, bed, movie, and snacks. The experience was so worth just watching my daughter! We also had a very delicious breakfast. The store (in ATL) is smaller...

Beautiful! You captured some fantastic shots. I would like to have some lessons:) I also love Canon cameras, but I don't have the DSLR. I have a powershot sx301s. It has a great zoom and I can add lenses (only if I knew how). It's not too big and bulky to carry around, but it isn't light...

We are thinking of going the first of Thanksgiving week as well (Sat. - Wed.). I just checked the Universal website checking to see if anything Christmas will be available. I would love to see it! The site just said to check back again later, so I don't know if they have their calendar set...

On our recent first DCL cruise, I thought this same thing! I was discussing with my sister what the ratio would be of tattooed people vs. non-tattooed. I was just wondering because I was just honestly curious. My BIL has a few, and we got on the topic that most tattoos have a personal meaning...

I just ordered a few of the 3 inch create your owns for 4.99. They didn't have any white, but i think a black sharpie will show up on the pink and yellow ones. Do you think they are big enough for character signatures? They are small, but I bought them hoping to get character signatures on...

I use starfall in my classroom and my students enjoy the program. My own children enjoy funbrain. Brainpop is another good one, but it is a subscription site (there may be some free stuff there). i think starfall is one of the best ones out there especially for the k-2 grade set.

I love my KAVU bag. I had a smaller one, but I really couldn't put much in it. I just recently bought the Sydney Satchel for $35 and I love this bag (for everyday too). It has a water type lining that would be good for a water bottle. I have to put a plug in for Zappos - can't beat their...

Love Hunger Games (am also a still a young adult reader, but not a young adult)! Sarah's Key - fabulous! Sarah Addisen Allen (The Girl Who Shot the Moon as suggested earlier) is another of my favorite authors. Loved all the books suggested so far. Another to add is The Curious Incident of...

This thread and the thread about shoes have been my favorite ones! Here's another young adult series that I loved - The Hunger Games series (3 books). I have liked all the books suggested. I love Carl Hiaasen (and the young adult books too). If you like light chick books, Janet Evanovich is...
