The last time I visited (in 2016) I got vertigo and fell three times in Epcot due to nausea and dizziness and then rented a wheelchair and vowed never to go again! Now my daughter has offered me a 10 day trip with a wheelchair rented from one of the many companies that do that. I have since been...

I have a new, unused Disney World 10 day park hopper ticket with no expiration. Can I use it at Disneyland and then again in Florida? (We live in Georgia).

Actually it was the beloved family priest who told her she was plain and that she looks just like her mother who is also plain.He is very old and probably demented, but a character. And my niece really seems to kind of enjoy that and says things like "I picked out these glasses because they seem...

Due to an extreme family emergency--my BIL after 30 years of sobriety has fallen off the wagon and lost the house, at least one car but anyway enough that the 16 y.o. is falling apart and wants to be with me because I listen to her and have two 9 year old granddaughters living in the same city...

We (myself, DD and GD 9 1/2) are going soon to Walt Disney World for about our 15th time, but we love it. Since we will have a car, I was thinking of Legoland for a day The problem is that she is a very girly girl and may not find anything she likes. We took her older brother to the one in...

My daughter, 10 year old grand daughter and I are wanting to go on a 7-9 day vacation in June. Not bragging but stating a fact that we have been on five Disney cruises, to Disney World in Florida too many times to count and Disneyland in California at least 4 times, Busch Gardens in Florida and...

When I was fortunate enough to go the first time, my kids were 7 and 9. We had fun and I enjoyed it as much as they did. I have been back many times since then, sometimes with my grandchildren and sometimes with my husband and we still all find the magic whenever we go! Our last time was in...

My daughter's house is being foreclosed on soon and sold on the courthouse steps. What happens then? Do they go in the house and throw all the furniture out? Is she allowed to go back in the house? I don't mean to imply that any of you have gone through this, but maybe you know someone who has...

Several years ago, my son did the same thing which resulted in a few really wobbly years, but he is now an IT professional and has a very good life. It really took that horrible thing to knock some sense into him but life wasn't easy after that. When it happened, we just asked him what he...

My GD is tall enough for all the rides she wants to ride at Disney. However we were buying her some of those really light weight gym shoes yesterday and she asked for a pair of the Heidi Hi Tops and since she's my youngest granddaughter, she got them. Since they instantly add 2" to your...

Our family lives in Georgia and goes to Florida at least once a year and have been for 20 years or so. This year it will just be my husband and I, no children or grandchildren, on first a four day Disney cruise and then a four night stay at Port Orleans French Quarter in October. Neither of us...

I am having a lot of trouble with my right knee and may have to have it replaced before our October cruise and 4 day Disney trip. Since I have my own wheelchair, can I take it to the parks and use it when and if I need it? Will the bus driver allow this if I am not in it? As you can tell, I do...

I get a lot of Starbucks gift cards as gifts--anyone know if they are accepted as payment at the new Starbucks? Wonder how I could find out in advance?

My MIL died peacefully a week ago and she had the funeral that she had planned. Things were so rushed that none of us have had time to grieve yet so I am glad that my husband and I will have a few weeks together before he even has to think about going back to work. My daughter and 8 year old...

I have finally made the family see that I must have some time off in order to function! Although I must go back in 11 days, I have had some wonderful time alone. And when I go back there will have to be two people in the house for the majority of the time since she is no longer able to walk by...

My MIL has lung cancer and is in an excellent hospice program. Since I was the only one without a full time job--and am a retired LPN--I offered to come stay with her. I am so resentful towards other family members who live nearby who have never offered me any respite and I am so full of pity...

This will be our sixth Disney cruise, we've done the wonderful and amazing Christmas cruise and are now considering the Thanksgiving 2014 cruise. How does a Thanksgiving cruise differ from a regular cruise except for Thanksgiving dinner?

A little off the subject, but I was at my daughter's house when my granddaughter (who we got from artificial insemination) asked how the two men next door had a baby. My granddaughter was at the time 6 and when my daughter told her about surrogacy, she was so confused that she sat on her bed and...

I am currently my MIL's primary health care provider with lots of family and friends. Although she has the diagnosis of small cell lung cancer and is fading very quickly, she still insists that she finish her radiation--three more sessions and then the one month wait until the CT scan. She is...

I wish I could find some at the thrift shop, but can't so I went ahead and got the pretty blue Paula Deen ones from Amazon. A good thrift shop story, though, my DIL bought plates and salad plates, setting for 10, Wedgwood China for $30 and sold them on Ebay for $400. She has a very good eye and...
