We've had a Mac for a year and a half and I will never go back to a PC. They are so much more user-friendly than any PC I have ever owned. I've never had an issue with viruses but I'm still cautious about clicking links or opening attachments. We have the desktop but I did just buy an iPad...

Funny to see this thread :) I'm about to go pick up my daughter to get her braces put on today! I took her to 5 different orthos for consults before picking one. Our cost will be about $2500 after our insurance discount (he's a preferred provider) and our ortho benefit ($1000) kick in. She...

We have gone both of those times in the last two years. I would definitely go in June over December again. If you hadn't seen the Christmas decorations, my answer might be different. I think everyone should go at least once to see those! We went in early June last year and it was great! The...

We went last year (Dec 13-21st) and although we enjoyed our trip, we probably won't go at that time of year again. The weather was actually in the 70's the whole week which was nice, but didn't feel like the holidays. Our days were shorter compared to previous trips due to it getting dark...

I have Verizon and have gotten those data charges from time to time, too. It's very annoying. It is VERY easy to accidentally press a button on my phone that pulls up the internet. When I've done it before, I shut my phone before anything could even download but still get the charge. There...

$110 in the Texas lottery many years ago, Fastpass lanyards at Disney a few years ago and a trip to Disney this year! The trip, by far, has been the biggest thing I've ever won and I'm so thankful for it! All it takes is one entry... :wizard:

Congrats to all of you!! How exciting! We just got back from the trip we won (Disney Christmas Day Parade Sweepstakes). We had a blast! Can't believe it has come and gone so quickly. My rep was also named Christi (last name started with a P.) Wonder if she's the same one y'all are...

We just returned from a road trip to Disney (from Texas) a few days ago. We are in the Houston-area. On the way there, we drove straight through in one day. On the way back, we stayed overnight in Pensacola Beach. It wasn't too far off of I-10 so that we were back on track pretty quickly the...

Why are the cases in the US less severe (i.e. no deaths so far?) Is it because the victims had better access to medical care or had received flu shots that might be helping them somewhat? Or is the strain slightly different? I felt a little better seeing that of the US cases, most have...

I would let him miss one extra day and go during the later time. Mainly because it will be less crowded then as opposed to around Labor Day. I think he will have a more established relationship with his teachers a little later in the school year as well which will help in getting assignments...

My dh just installed something to connect his Nano from a company called isimple (http://www.isimplesolutions.com). We have tried an FM transmitter before and it was terrible. He had to connect this new thing through the back of his radio but he said it wasn't hard. He keeps the ipod in his...

I know what you are talking about. We had a pretty bad flu season down here this year. I work in a preschool and it hit us hard. I think there was a strand that was going around that wasn't covered by the current flu vaccine. My family was fortunate as we never got it. Interestingly, we've...

I am somewhat concerned (esp. b/c we live in Texas). I have always worried about the possibility of a pandemic knowing that it's not if but when it will happen. I did read that of the 8 confirmed cases in the U.S., all have recovered which makes me feel a little better. I will definately be...

Homemade blueberry jam and preserves... My daughter and my mom picked 40+ pounds of blueberries last summer and made tons of it. So good:thumbsup2 Homemade peach preserves are awesome, too!

I'm considering making the switch, too. I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch to an iMac - just need to do it! There are some pretty good deals on refurbished Macs on the Apple website.

Thanks everyone :) I knew I would get some great feedback! For now we are still at SSR. I just found out today that they will not even allow us to be waitlisted for another DVC resort which was disappointing. Although the promotional department is booking my room through DVC member services...

Our computer and dh's laptop and work laptop are all Dells. They are good computers. My computer is almost 6 years old and is reaching the end of it's useful life. Although I've been pleased with Dell, my next computer will probably be a Mac. I love the user friendliness/functionality of...

Thanks so much everyone! I'm still not sure what we will do although I think we will be happy with either choice. We are used to small rooms at POR so I think anything will seem huge to us :) I don't even know for sure that we can get in there but will ask about it tomorrow. Should also find...

I wish we could stay in a studio but we can't as a family of 5. I would love to stay at BCV or BWV just b/c we will be at Yacht Club the beginning of that week and would like to stay in that area. Not holding my breath that they will have any availability though.

I did notice that the OKW 1-bedrooms had more square footage. Thanks for the info! My 6 yr. old has been used to sleeping on a trundle at POR so he doesn't know any different :) I would probably like the extra room though. Can you request water view rooms at each? I know OKW is a little...
