    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    Thank you to those who shared the links publicly here, without requiring a DM. I grabbed one, sorry I don't know who it was, and it worked. I had 10 minutes left before I had to leave for the vet appointment, and my tabs were going nowhere. So thank you to all who did that. Quick registered...

    Am I looking for the impossible? A QUIET restaurant...

    Like mentioned above, go at an off time. Especially if a restaurant closes between lunch and dinner. Get the latest lunch time you can get and by mid meal, there’s very few people left in the restaurant. Years ago, we had a 2:30 at Kona Cafe. We didn’t finish until nearly 4pm and nobody else...

    What's the most annoying common grammar error, and why is it using apostrophes to pluralize words?

    I just remembered a story. Back in eigth grade, my English teacher was a stickler for all puncuation and grammar rules and it was highly amusing to me. For my last paper of the year, I wrote it with everything wrong I could reasonably write that way and still get the point of it across...

    What's the most annoying common grammar error, and why is it using apostrophes to pluralize words?

    Two that drive me absolutely crazy: Lightening (lightning) Defiantly (definitely) What kills me the most is I see this so frequently from older people with college educations. They text me to say “I’m defiantly going to see that movie.” I’m so tempted to ask how defiant they are, but I digress.

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    While not rD, I did run for charity for Marine Corps, and pretty much the same as the others replies. They had my bib at their table at the vendor expo, and that was pretty much the only interaction that was required of the group. Anything else in-person-wise was optional. I received a...

    Marathon Weekend 2023

    6 browsers here, all of which had dwarfs until 12:30, and I was still refreshing all of them randomly up until about 12:20 or so. At 12:30, spinning with over an hour wait time, except for two. My iphone had 5 minutes (pure luck), and basement computer had 56 minutes. Finished my reg on...

    Things that are unnecessarily expensive

    I second the car rentals and hotels. Travel is pretty much getting back to normal again and I feel like this is bordering on price gouging. Planning getting college kids from/to this year (one we drive, one we fly, both need hotels), and the prices are double what they normally are. From...

    EasyWDW / notfrosty Josh / obituary

    Hi all, if you're hoping to always be able to reference his witty posts, you're in luck. According to his forums, there is a site called the Wayback Machine that can be googled. ( I don't post here often enough to know the rules for posting links to such things, so you gotta do the work...

    EasyWDW / notfrosty Josh / obituary

    I kept telling him I’m still waiting on the book he said he would write with the best benches to sip bourbon in WDW. Next visit, I’m going to sit on a bench with bourbon and count the smiles.

    What is the first medical procedure you remember having?

    Age 4, lost the tip of my pinky finger. I wanted to tattle on my brother for not letting me do something outside, I can't remember what. But I held the garage door open at the hinges with my hand, and my finger got caught as the door was shutting. Felt something on my finger and pulled it...

    What's the broken thing in your house that everyone just puts up with?

    Living room couch. Dog number 1 chewed apart half of one cushion many years ago. We just flipped it over and sort of filled it in with foam. Dog number two completely obliterated another cushion two years ago. As in torn to pieces and shredded. So that spot is filled in with pillows and...

    Do NOT count on Mears Connect

    If that makes a difference on their site, the code for Southwest is WN. (I think of it as backwards and opposite of southwest, as in - it's Northwest (NW), but backwards (WN).)

    Teen daughter - vent

    Lots of answers here, looks like you got ideas from both sides. I've nothing of value to add other than this - my 17 year olds best friend also has had to watch her much younger siblings (slightly older siblings than your story) for the last couple years while her parents worked as well. She...

    Denied DAS Other options

    Thank you, that is good to know! I did not intend to pull away from the OP question. Just wanted to explain our situation, and say keep trying to get your dad to at least try a scooter for one day. It's a total gamechanger!

    Denied DAS Other options

    We just used the DAS for the first time this past June. Previous to that, we never used it and yes she used a scooter as normal - waiting in the lines as normal, except where a CM directed us elsewhere. We had no idea she would qualify until I was talking to a CM (who is a friend) about her...

    Denied DAS Other options

    Before my mom had cancer and subsequent surgery for it, she was also well above that 250lb limit. She has had asthma and COPD for years and years and refused to use a scooter or wheelchair. So I understand the pride thing. She missed out on so much on so many WDW trips for so many years. The...

    Oga's Availability

    Pre covid, there would randomly be some restaurants they didn’t release exactly on 60 days. As I recall, some places were released/open for ADRs a day or two late. keep checking, it may open up yet.
