    Black Friday Shopping

    Growing up in a small town, I didn't even know what Black Friday was. Then, I met my husband, who introduced me to the insanity, panic, and thrill of Black Friday Shopping. We are going on a family vacation to WDW for my parent's 50th anniversary. The main conflict for us is that it puts us...

    Help decorate plastic beach pails

    I have decorated water bottles for my boys' baseball teams for several years. I used to use Paint Pens from the craft section of any craft store. After the paint dried, I sprayed the bottle with varnish - However, recently, my tactics have changed. It is way more time saving to get things cut...

    Our group of 15 are first time sailors too. We are hauling along 7 kids, 5 of which are boys. 13, 10, 9, 7, and 4. We don't have anyone itty bitty - but my 10 and 9 year old love little ones. So no worries - we can meet up on ship and have a ball. My family is sailing for our parents 50th...

    LOSE BEFORE YOU CRUISE - Support Thread for all Cruisers

    Not sure if anyone here would like a challenge, but there are 5 of us at work doing this. It is a squat challenge. Nice thing about it is the toning aspect. It is hilarious. We are on day 5, but we really are all busy moms that teach, and so you will see us doing our squats at lunch waiting...

    Mickey Head Ice Cube Trays

    I am trying to decide if the plastic trays will work to reform old crayons into fun shapes. Anyone try this? And are the trays usable for other things after the wax experience?

    Actual wine choices Question/favor

    I am curious if others that have purchased the wine packages think they were worth the cost. The cost is reasonable, I know, but you can bring alcohol onto the ship, and the family (8 adults) is trying to decide if we should purchase or byob. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Back from my First Cruise ... Not what I Thought it Would Be

    Thanks for sharing your excitement. Do you know I am so excited about our Dream cruise, I can not sleep at night. It will be our first with DCL also, and I think my husband is expecting it to be like our honeymoon cruise on another line. I keep telling him, no way, this is going to blow your...

    Anyone ever book 4 rooms at once?

    We had no trouble, and is the second time my entire family + 1 other family will be doing a week at Disney, a 3 night cruise and a few more nights to round it up. I agree about getting a feel for the CM you are talking too. Start by asking the questions you have, and you should know right...

    I was unexpectedly surprised with dinner at ___________.

    My parents went specifically for a squash soup they are famous for only to find out it was not a day that the soup was being served. My mother mentioned her dismay to her server, and low and behold, he showed up with a bowl just for her. We have to attempt to make it every year for...

    What foods would you put on your list of best things you've had in Disney?

    Okay - so am I the only one that goes to Epcot for the Fish -n- Chips? Guess so. Also, my DH thinks that the chocolate dipped Rice Krispie Mickey Heads are the ONLY thing to eat at Disney. (He has brainwashed both of our kids.) Looking forward to the milk and cookies on the Dream in...

    What bag do you like to use ?

    Personally- I carried a hefty sized backpack on our last family vaca at Disney. It was not too much, but because of the load, the one day I didn't take it, I didn't miss it. There are some great shots you can get with your camera, but I will be the first to say that everyone needs to take...
