Yesterday sucked, today sucked and I imagine the next couple of weeks are going to suck. Sorry, not in a great mood right now.

Me too. I think next time I plan on having a big park day, I'll treat it like I used to in that I'll get to the park at rope drop and get a ton of stuff done before 11 am. Then just schedule my 3 FP+ things for the afternoon when the lines are usually the longest.

Depending on if I am going to be in the parks all day, that is my plan going forward. Nice to know that if I hit DHS in the afternoon, I already had a Toy Story FP in my pocket (or on my band).

Hey look, new ticker! Also changed my avatar since that seems to be the thing these days here.

Both kids have same spring break next year in March. I turn the big 50 in Feb and me & DW were looking at Key West. Soooooooo, 7 nights on the reimagined Magic with one of the stops in Key West

Enjoy Key West. Lots of drinking opportunities there and you can see six toed cats roaming around.

We really liked Aulani. Ama Ama is a very good restaurant, the pool area is fantastic and you are right on the beach. The Pirate Princess loved the shaved ice thing they sell there.



Service and amenities are up to and sometimes exceed Disney standards. Everything in Hawaii is really expensive but you get the Disney quality. Let me know if you have any specific questions, and I will try to answer.

Sorry to hear. I hope this isn't related to the Pirate Princess' recent health issues...

Morning guys. Crazy weather in IN yesterday. They closed part of a highway I was on and turned us around. While sitting there the temp gauge in my car showed it drop ten degrees in about twenty minutes. Have to try again today.

Morning everyone. The cold and crap just keeps rolling on it seems...

Same here. We are officially under a blizzard warning today but I think we are right on the edge. Heard this morning that we have 3 times more snow on the ground than normal and the ice in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence hasn't melted much yet.

I think we may jump directly from winter to summer.

Hoping for the best. Even if he still needs them, he at least makes them look good.

Hey, thanks for the plug! Short version: It's expensive. But everything in Hawaii is expensive. And it's awesome.

Sorry to hear that, CJ. This too shall pass.

Agreed!

21 this morning in Nashville DS claims that with Disney's capabilities this winter is coming from them as a marketing stunt to drive Frozen results - "Do you want to build a Snowman?"

Hope it goes well for the little guy make sure to share a pic of any new specs.

Good Morning, didn't realize we had another Nashville DisDad recently, my names Philip, I live in Hendersonville.

Speaking of Nashville, DW bought 3 tickets to Katy Perry June 27 at Bridgestone arena. I booked a hotel room at Holiday Inn downtown. My plan was to drive them to hotel, walk them to and from concert, and drink somewhere for the few hours in between. If either of you are available, I'd like to do a meet up somewhere downtown within walking distance.

Not to bad here.

Good evening gentlemen. I hate just popping in and running but things have gotten crazy again. DW aggrivated her knee that she had the ACL repaired two years ago. They think its "just" a torn PCL or maniscus. So I get to play Mom, Dad, nurse, and house keeper for the next week. This might be the final nail in this year's DLR trip.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Barry, you need a new avatar?

Sorry to hear about DW. If I remember correctly, a torn PCL will heal itself, but the meniscus requires surgical repair, correct? I hope it is a ligament and it can heal without additional surgery.

But you can bring a camera and use it in the public areas, right?

Yes. Just not the public restrooms.

Congrats on the new ticker and nice avatar.
