    anybody go completely cableless?

    Total installation was $150. I think it split up as $60 for the antenna and $90 for the labor. It only took him an hour, and he was the cheapest place we found. I did call around for a few quotes- they ranged from the $150 to $350. It did help that we had the coaxial cable from having cable...

    Child harness in WDW?

    We took one, but did not use it with our almost 2 year old. We have the monkey style, and it was just too hot for him to wear it most of the time. We got the combi flare stroller and used it all the time, and just held his hand while in line for attractions.

    anybody go completely cableless?

    We cancelled cable this summer, and had an antenna professionally installed. With a couple exceptions, we mostly watch network tv, so it wasn't a big deal for us. I think the biggest adjustment was going without the DVR- we used it all the time! If there is a cable show we want to watch (like...

    Converse sneakers on sale?

    The Converse OneStars at Target are "real" Converse- they are a style that gained some popularity in the mid-1990s (my bff had a pair in high school) that apparently are not as popular a style, so they have been relegated to the Target relationship. My DH wears the Jack Purcell style- he is...

    I Almost Fell Out Of My Chair!!!

    We always went without the uber-planning. The first time my family went, in 1998, we stayed offsite but bought tickets ahead of time, had no ADRs, no touring plan. We went the first week of June- busy, but not as bad as July and August. We got an Unofficial Guide, decided what sort of things...

    Haunted Mansion problem today

    We got stuck on Spaceship Earth on the big incline in May. If it had just been DH and I , no big deal. But, we had our 2 year old- try telling a toddler that they have to stay sitting in an uncomfortable position. He was freaking out and we didn't have anything to calm him (we left our diaper...

    Working at the Disney Store seasonally...anyone know the perks?

    I was seasonal there this past Christmas. There are no park perks for seasonal cast. Once you have been there a year, then you get park passes twice a year and hotel discounts. I was kept on after Christmas as a regular cast member, and was planning a trip to WDW in May, and asked several...

    define tee shirts

    As defined by www.oldnavy.com : Tee-shirt: Not Tee-Shirt: If you need further clarification, I would suggest checking out a few websites and generally avoiding things in the "tee-shirt" section. The last two shirts I posted were in the "tees and polos" section, but do...

    PLEASE Help me win a fight with my daughter about shoes!!!!!

    I wore a flip flop style sandal the last two times we went. I had no problems the first year, but this year my feet hurt really bad. I think this is for 2 main reasons. First, we didn't do a lot of walking before we went- I think that makes a huge difference. Second, I have gained a...

    Stroller mistake

    We put a sign that said "our name 2009" on the back of the stroller, as well as hung a luggage tag with our info from the handle. We got long pieces of blue and green ribbon and tied bows on about 4 different spots on the handle. We did put DS's "1st Visit" button on the shade also. I...

    May 8th - Whats the weather like?

    We were there May 4-10 this year. It was miserably hot. We came from temps in the mid-60s, and it was nearly 90 most days at WDW. We did not take jeans/sweatshirts and definitely did not need them. We took shorts/tees/tank tops. I wore capris a couple times, but always with a tank top...

    New Here: Best things to do with a toddler at WDW?

    We took our son a couple weeks before his second birthday on just about everything that didn't have a height requirement. He loved Dumbo/Aladdin/Triceratops spin. Fantasyland gave us the most options for him. He like Imagination at Epcot, but did not love universe of energy (he like the dinos...

    Toy Story Mania & Preschooler

    Our 2 year old seemed to enjoy it. We set him in the seat between DH and I. The glasses didn't really fit his head, so we did have to adjust those pretty often. He did seem pretty excited at the graphics, even though he didn't actually "play." The ride cars do have kind of a jerk-y start and...

    Flying with toddler

    We took a portable DVD player with Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (the two movies he will sit and watch without blinking), as well as a lot of books, cars, under 3 Happy Meal toys, a travel magna doodle, and some of those Color Wonder Crayola markers/books. We did not end up needing any of it- DS...

    Purchase with Purchase

    At the beginning of May, the resort pwp was a tote for $10 with a $50 purchase. The parks had a limited edition watch for $15.95 with a $30 purchase, and a throw for $20 with a $50 purchase. There was a different one at Downtown Disney, but I didn't get it, so I don't remember what it was. We...

    May vs. Sept. of 2010

    We went in 2005 in September. Crowds were very low- we walked on to almost everything. It was still pretty hot- around 80 every day. We did have free dining. I don't remember if it rained or not that week. halloween decor was up at the Magic Kingdom. I don't think they had started MNSSHP...

    When we were there a couple weeks ago, it started at Town Square. We were in Frontierland doing rider swap for Splash Mountain. It reached us in Fronierland at about 3:25.
