We are checked in and the resort looks great! The main pool and the Beach House is open. We haven't seen it yet but a CM told us the beach is fine! The big dipper refurb is still going on. What we have seen of the island looks relatively good, many many trees down. Any questions let me know.

We like the carved turkey sandwich at the Fest Haus, it comes with potato salad. DH and I split it, and DSs split pizza and fries. We get enough to eat but not so much that we are too full to enjoy the park. The rides are great! Remember the park is split up into countries, so there is...

I saw them dressed as chefs a few weeks ago for F&W and it was the same guys as last year.

Ashley is our favorite skipper!

We are having this dilemma in our family. DH is in favor of accepting the invite to test but I am concerned about running into problems and losing time waiting to get them fixed. I'm leaning toward giving it a shot if we can still get regular FP now. We leave in 24 days!

I would go to MK even though it closes early. Travel is tiring for me (probably because I stay up so late getting everything ready to go). But I am energized, if only for a few hours, when we arrive. I'd go for just a couple of hours to MK and just enjoy it, no specific plan. It sounds like...

I've been wondering about the malts at The Fountain (Dolphin) and Beaches and Cream.

I just to chopsticks on my shopping list for next trip. I like souvenirs I can use. In the beauty section at the Japan pavilion I got blotting papers and a glass nail file with a little girl on it. Using them and remembering where I got them brings a little bit of magic into my day.

Baseball cap or Mickey ears! But seriously, try out whatever way you think you want to style it on a rainy day at home before the trip. I hate taking the time to fix my hair knowing it will look crazy as soon as I go out in the humidity, but I have to do something to it or I won't like my...

I forgot to mention that I also close my eyes on parts of rides that bother me, and keep my head upright and as still as possible. I have to do this in the car often. I mainly needed meds for the transportation, God forbid I ever have to ride sideways on a bus or backward on the monorail! I...

I like Bonine also. The ones I have bought were chewables and I take either a half dose, or if I can find the children's ones I take those. I like to take as little as I can, enough to be effective, but not enough to make me too sleepy. If I remember correctly it is 24 hours, so I took it at...

This is the $89 set. Online it is regular price, but in-store it rings up $39.97 as shown in this week's ad. Confirmed in Yorktown VA. Yay! Finally got my Christmas shopping started with a bang!

Almay TLC Truly Lasting Color. Love it! The colors are great, it stays on all day, isn't so drying that it feels tight, but also doesn't get oily. I apply with a foundation brush or sponge and it is super light but i can even dab it on as a concealer and it covers. I use only the tiniest bit...

I forgot that my sister-in-law's birthday is today so I need to run out and pick up a gift for her. She is a really good gifter, so I always agonize over what to give her. She has recently been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, and is motivated to eat better and get in shape (she has started walking...

Wow! Thanks for all of the responses! We have a lot to think about. I hadn't added in the airport parking $ as well. We have a lot to think about. DH and I are both on the fence about it, but leaning toward driving. I suppose our attitude about it can make a huge difference in the outcome...

We have always flown from Virginia to WDW, but we are trying to be careful with our budget. It would be about a 13 hour drive instead of a 2 hour flight. The flights usually cost $800-$1000. We normally rent a car when we arrive for around $250. If we drive, we'd be driving our own vehicle...

I went with the SX40 as well. It is a little bit bulkier, but still far smaller than carrying around an slr lens with that much zoom. I have gotten some great shots so far and I still haven't even peeked in the manual yet. And it seems like the price has dropped about $50 in the last month or...

We've done both, park days before and after the cruise. We prefer to add the park days after the cruise. We fly in the day before the cruise and stay at the MCO Hyatt, relax by the pool and have dinner. I find travel days exhausting. So we get to bed early and head right down to catch a...

I love walk breaks. I normally run 1 mile, and walk slowly (Galloway) for 30 seconds or 1 minute. When I pick my run back up, my legs feel refreshed as if I am just starting my run. As far as pacing, I measure my route on itouchmap.com item #9 Measure Distance. I know where my half-mile...

When my existing treadmill finally dies, I'd like to get one that goes up to 15% incline. I tried one out at a hotel fitness room and it kicked my booty in no time. It is amazing how much harder it is to walk on a 15% incline versus running on a 10% incline. I am NOT considering the...
