    WDW Wants to develop more wetlands than planned - Orlando Sentinel Article

    Wondering of they are thinking of a more price friendly Golden Oaks project. When I first looked at their sales page, homes were starting 1.5-2 million. Now, the beginning price is 5 million, but there are no finished home pictures..just artist renderings. Did anyone ever move in? I admittedly...

    Drinks Around the World...are we insane???

    We are planning on doing this next summer. Both boys will be 21 and bringing a couple of friends, as well as DH and I. We will be in Epcot for 2 days so no need to do every country in one day. We have a spreadsheet with drinks we want to try. Tipsy Ducks in Love and the Grand Marnier slush...

    Why I Miss the Old Disboards

    I have to say it is taking a bit for me to get used to the new board. But I am not usually quick with change. I had read on the old board info that the emojis and avatars would be gone for a while and that the tags would be gone. I also got a new smartphone this week so I have been clicking...

    Oh no! Not the Selfie-Sticks...

    What's that saying? Stand tall and carry a big stick. Better idea: Hand me your stick so I can whack you with it. I understand the selfie stick. I understand when it could be useful. What I don't understand why people my age can't give courtesy and think about those around them. My...

    OMG!! A new level of tackiness

    This woman is just nuts. With our family, they couldn't list us all on the programs. Just "5 children, 12 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren..." So, I figure any employer who needs the names of them all can look up a family tree. It sounds to me that she is looking for more than just...

    Super Bowl XLIX Patriots vs. Seahawks

    I haven't watched football regularly for several years. But I am choosing the Seahawks this year for our aunt who lives up there. We will watch some of the game, but more than likely will switch over to some xbox play or a movie.

    I NEED A Lot Of Help

    Got a little confused by the request...Please correct me if I am misunderstanding...Are you looking for ideas for places to stay in Tampa/St. Petersburg? Universal is not in that area so I am guessing you are flying into the Tampa airport and driving up to Orlando. Universal is easy to...

    New Boards questions- NOTE DATE CHANGE

    I thought it was just my internet!! I blame it on the phone company who buried all the lines without any protection. Soon as we drop to 30 degrees, my internet speed drops. :cheer2: Overall, it sounds like the new system will be better. I'm ok with having to choose a new avatar. I love...

    Looking at 2016

    We are planning also! June 2016. It's going to be big and hot, but it's going to be fun. DD is graduating. We had to miss our trip when the boys graduated in 2013, so they will also wear their ears. Since the boys will be 21, already planning out the Drinks around the World. We will...

    Is there any real advantage to booking roundtrip?

    I've ran into this issue within the past year. There have been times when the roundtrip tickets are saving $35-50 off of the 2 one way. Other times, it was less expensive when I bought them as 2 one ways. If you can only afford the single direction at this time AND are willing to accept...

    anyone a pro with scholarship stuff?

    Check out College Confidential from The College Board. This is the group that runs SAT and AP. OP--Has your DD taken her ACT or SAT yet? Or will she be in the March testing group? Scholarships are based on so many different things. Some are need based. Some are numbers (GPA and...

    40th Birthday at WDW

    Wear your pin! I wore mine on my birthday. Not as many gushing CMs as the little kids seem to have, but a lot of guests said "Happy Birthday to me." Indulge in a special snack or drink! :goodvibes Happy Birthday to you! 40 used to be :eek: to me, but it's turning out to be pretty great.

    Does anyone use the drive thru at the bank?

    Don't feel bad. I have long arms, but I can't reach the tubes either. I did drive closer...ONCE...not so good for my car. It's something about my seat position. (Same thing at fast food) Back to the question--our credit union only has one local location with drive through. I have used...

    Childcare IN the parks?!

    Rides with restrictions have a Rider Pass. Part of the party will ride the ride while some stay with the child. Then after the ride, they swap. Not every one will ride together, but I think it will work in your situation.

    Hi. Freaking Out. Help. HELP!!... I mean, please help, please. :)

    Are you hoping to add the Dining Plan? It may be cheaper to pay out of pocket for your meals instead of the plan. The regular plan gives you credits for 1 Table meal, 1 Counter Serve and 1 snack per person over age 3. As you mentioned Cinderella's and Chef Mickey's, those come up to using...

    Grocery by Windsor Hills

    Used both locations when we were there (and the Target grocery also). Must say the one in the Reunion area was much calmer. There were tourists in it, but many more locals. Was cleaner also. The US192 store gets a lot of traffic so there were continuous stocking and the screaming, running kids.

    Megabus

    DS21 has friends who use them all the time and through many locations. He plans to use them in part for Spring Break. (Ohio to Tampa, FL = $10) The one reason why we step away from the thought of them is the pick up/drop off locations nearest to us are in dark, not so great areas of town...

    Grooming your dog at home

    My Schnorgi (schnauzer/corgi) loves being trimmed. As soon as those clippers come out, he comes running and sits or stands very still. He even comes running when DH or DS are buzzing their own hair. The only part we disagree over is his rear end. I don't blame him..I mean really, who wants...
