    What is the worst roller coaster you ever rode

    My two worst ones are The Rattler at Fiesta Texas in San Antonio - it's too rough and caused me and my sister to bump heads so hard our heads were bleeding when we got off the ride! My second worst is a really old one from Astroworld in Houston, TX. It was called Taz's Texas Tornado and the...

    Gap outlet vs Reg Gap

    Clothes at Gap outlets are often specifically made for the outlet, but the other week we were at ours and there were tanks and tees and jeans with Old Navy tags on them! We know they're part of the same company but were still surprised to see Old Navy tags in a Gap outlet. We have seen some of...

    Disney Princesses ... For boys

    An idea that you might want to do if he's not interested in dressing as Prince Charming is that when we took my nephew he used elements of his favorite princess outfits - one day he wore yellow shorts and a red shirt with blue sleeves, and his flip flops had apples on them for Snow White. For...

    Star World?

    I think most hardcore Star Wars fans that would push for an entire theme park would probably find it blasphemous to have Star Wars and Star Trek being marketed side by side like they were the same thing.

    Disney Princesses ... For boys

    I notice that my nephew gets a lot of attention from the Princesses and fairies when we meet them, and he gets hugs and kisses (which he's 7, right at the age where it's still okay and he loves the attention) but they also all talk to him about adventures he likes to go on. When we took both him...

    GAC ?? How tos?

    Disney will instruct you to rent a wheelchair or ECV, as there is nothing they can do for asthmatics to reduce wait times out in the humidity or the heat. A good deal of WDW lines are inside a building or at least covered, which does help some. As someone with severe asthma I usually make sure...

    Ikea Furniture

    I have a ton of Ikea furniture and it's lasted for years. The bed is the cast iron white frame, I can't remember the name of it, but it's held up very well and never creaks or gets wobbly. It's been assembled and disassembled through at least 8 apartment moves too. I have the white malm dresser...

    Does anyone eat "clean" on a budget?

    I agree with shopping outside of traditional grocery stores. I do occasionally use an HEB chain called Central Market and I frequently go to Sprouts. I'm not sure if this is just a Texas based chain or is nationwide, apologies for that. But I buy my meat from a local family farm that raises...

    HS Graduation gift idea?

    Money is probably a graduate's favorite item to receive. It's a cliche gift but I think every single one of my cousins that have graduated over the past five years were disappointed with everything that wasn't cash or a gift card. I graduated college last spring and got a lot of money, but...

    Buzz Lightyear assault?

    I saw the post on Tumblr going around that mentions the Buzz Lightyear assault and that "Andy's Coming" is being shouted out so much that it's ruining all Toy Story interactions and the characters, their attendants, photopass photographers, and management are beyond fed up with it and are...

    OT - Five people in Hotel Room? (Non-Disney)

    I grew up in a family of five and we usually stayed in Embassy Suites when we traveled. There were two large beds in a bedroom separate from a living area that had a fold out bed and they also had cots available if we needed one. We also got a full breakfast every morning and a snack/drink...

    Six Flags season pass discounts?

    I live near Six Flags Over Texas, which is an entirely different park but I know that as a whole seasons passes across the country are cheaper in the Fall - end of December. In 2012, we purchased our 2013 passes during Fright Fest for $59.99 a person and received an upgrade to the better pass...

    when did you let your kids watch Star Wars?

    We've let my nephew watch all 6 movies from the time he was able to sit through them without talking, which was right around the time he turned 4. He likes Episode I and VI the best and those are pretty much the only two he'll sit through. He wanted to at least try the movies because he likes...

    Haunted Mansion

    Like so many other people have said, we started bringing my nephew and niece in from about a year on. My nephew is 7 now and the stretching room still scares him, because people always scream and it's completely dark. Two trips ago, a teenager standing next to us also pointed out to all the...

    Schlitterbahn New Braunfels

    I'm pretty sure it's a Coke place. They have a ride over in the original part of the park that is related to Coke straws, and I swear the last time we went a couple of years ago they had plastic bands you could buy and wear that had a coke logo on it, and you could redeem little tabs on the...

    Disney college program internet

    Don't look at anything illegal, don't download anything illegally, and don't cyberbully anyone and I think you'll be okay.

    Any Advice/Drug Test?

    Drug testing is only done for roles that involve driving a vehicle (tram, safari, tom sawyer island riverboat, etc), and also they randomly drug test lifeguards. I've never heard of them testing during traditions or during the interview, the two people I know that were tested had to go during...

    CP Attractions Questions

    I do know that if you have a specific location you want to work or need to avoid, you must mention it in the interview. They won't hear/honor any requests after that point unless they are for medical requests. So if her fear is so strong that it leads to panic attacks maybe it's something worth...

    Ladies - How much do u pay for a haircut

    I live in the DFW area of Texas and I pay about $55 plus I give my stylist a $20 tip - so about $75. Any color is about the same price as a haircut when I get it done.

    Have college age kids contribute or not?

    I'm well into my 20's as are my two sisters and my parents never make us pay for any part of a family vacation. However, any trips outside our family vacations (we take 1-3 a year) we pay for fully. Usually these trips aren't taken with our parents or other family members though. I'm a graduate...
