OMG ... thanks, I needed the laugh! I never "got" the idea of those seat covers ... except those really great ones on the toilets at O'Hare. However, when my children were little, I'd squirt a little sanitizer on the seat and wipe it toilet paper ... seemed more effective than some nasty...

The DIS is populate with many die-hard Disney fans. You'll find lots of repeat visitors here! We're leave in about 3 weeks on our fifth family trip since Feb. 2002. Since then, we've added a child. Our children have grown. Once hubby stayed home and we went w/ a favorite aunt. It's never...

Perhaps I missed this ... when is the OP going to be there? If it's over the holidays at all, the Osbourne Lights at DHS are absolutely, positively NOT to be missed. DHS is not my favorite park, but I wouldn't miss it at the holidays and at least a brief visit any trip I was going to be at...

Nothing we read before our Dec. '95 trip fully prepared us for the Osbourne Lights. We were blown away by them and consider them among our favorite memories of that trip. We'll be there 11/8 thru 11/13 so I'm glad they'll be up before we go.

We loved Sci Fi. Of course, we were there for lunch not dinner, but the burger was VERY good. Each adult tried a different dessert so we could sample and each of them was also VERY good. I'd been worried about this ADR because the reviews were so mixed. However, after that first trip, Sci Fi...

Wow ... brilliant minds and all that. I whole-heartedly say the American Girl book others mentioned as well. I bought it from my daughter and "hid" it in the bathroom to give to her when she was 8 or 9. She found it as a 7 year old and promptly un-hid it. She's 10 now and stil refers to it!

Yay!!! Glad to hear that. Good luck w/ garage sale & selling online. We'll be right there w/ you!

Wow ... am glad I got MY kids! My kids have been professional travelers since they were tiny. It helps having to travel 4+ hours just to visit closest family and that we show horses on a national level and not every show is in my backyard. My kids could travel okay and not wake off if we...

So ... I've been through 15 pages of restauraunt-related threads but haven't found what I'm looking for. Sorry if this duplicates a thread, but my search function keeps locking up my browser. I'm looking for info on a character meal at AK. Is there one? Is it at breakfast? Is it the same...

I didn't get my first two-wheel bicycle until I was seven. Riding at the early age of 5 is sooooo much more common today that we sometimes forget it is not a requirement. My older dd couldn't get the hang of riding her bike until after she turned 8. She was scared and didn't like to try...

Each family has to make their own decisions. I say if you feel up to it, go for it! Today's society has become RIDICULOUSLY germ-o-phobic. The end result of this insanity is increased allergies, asthma, etc. I got the "advice" about staying locked away for the first 4-8 weeks. My older...

We missed Spectromagic on our first three trips. However, on our '08 trip, we happened to end up w/ an "extra" day on our tickets so we went to MK for just a brief bit our very first night in town because it was open later that night. We ran through a couple of "must-do" first rides and were...

We went to MVMCP on our Dec. 2005 trip. If it works in our Nov. 2009 trip, I'd love to do it again. Our children were 3 & 6 last time ... wish we'd napped a little more in the afternoon and that the wait for the transportation out of there wasn't so jammed. Other than that ... GREAT! We...

Margee.... I am in your corner! I hope to see you here and doing well. Your story is similar to mine. I am concerned about it getting harder once I lose a few more pounds! So, I'm rooting for you! We are going to Disney this fall, but I hope my husband and I can find a way to get back to...

Name: Amy Age: 41 Location: IL Type of diet: Move more, eat less! Start date of diet: 6/6/08 Goal: Approximately 30 lbs So my results this a.m. were mixed. Overall, I am down 6 & 1/2 pounds. I know that's pretty good so far. However, I am a touch disappointed because I was...

That's sort of where we are. Glad to know someone is similar in position to us. Leajess99... Thanks for the idea. It's hard to know how much the girls put in exactly because sometimes they do it on their own and sometimes my husband adds a little. But, we are going to be giving them...

Trying not to obsessively weigh myself daily. Have done okay getting started w/ exercising again. Have started both walking and some minor weight lifting. My activity level has increased over the last couple of weeks because it is horse show season so I'm on the go a little more around the...

to lanasboys.... Glad to see your post. Seems like a healthy & reasonable way of having the kids "contribute." I've been back through the OPs posts and I agree there are various concerns. I do not see this as black & white as some posters here and do think some of the knee-jerk...

Hello ... I'm jumping in at this late date as an attempt to make myself a little more accountable in working toward my goals. In general, I want to lose some weight and get more fit so I feel better. I also hope to be thinner before the trip we hope to take to WDW in early November...
