Good morning all! Hope your Monday is as good as it can be! We are all another day closer to our vacations as well! So that gets us off to a good start!

I think I'm at 23 days!

It’s depressing krogers no longer delivers. They always had great coupons. Last two trips I used them we had a $30 off coupon.

Hopefully taking my son to see Hoppers tonight. Excited!

These look great. Do you get them at each country's gift store?

No one asked, but here are my current countdowns....

73 days until our road trip out to Disneyland - VGC 1 bedroom
306 days until WDW - BRV 1 bedroom but may try to switch to 2 bedroom at 7-month mark
(roughly, haven't settled on dates yet) 446 days until another road trip to Disneyland - First stay at VDH!! Hopefully a 1 bedroom

Over on the “pet peeve” thread there has been discussion of the phrase “Welcome Home!” I wondered if anyone else experiences the following…

You come home from your DVC trip. Fam and friends text “Welcome home! How was the trip?” Etc.

Your head spins. Why are they saying “Welcome Home!”

This phenomenon was recently compounded for me by having unexpectedly added on at Aulani and hearing the guide say “welcome home” about a dozen times during the transaction. Coming home and getting the greeting from family and friends - “Wait…how do they know that I just bought more DVC?!!!”

I enjoyed that movie, and so did DH, who's usually not as enthused about the Disney/Pixar animated films as I am.

All my kids (11, 6, 5) enjoyed it. I thought it was fine, definitely one of their better original IP movies in the past decade. I'd put it just below Luca as far as those go.

 

[kilik64]

Guess you probably need a ranking to say its below Luca

Pixar Original IP since 2016 Ranking
Coco
Luca
Hoppers
Onward

Haven't seen any of the others to rank em lol. Id put Inside out 2, Incredibles 2, Toy story 4, and Finding Dory (in that order) above the ones I ranked though for releases since 2016. Cars 3 would be at the bottom, way better than that AWFUL cars 2 though.

IDK why, but this reminded me of Miss Congeniality

I agree with your Pixar sequel (quadrilogy?) ranking! Cars 2.. wow... just wow

Turning Red and Elemental are both worth seeing. I'll gladly rewatch them! Lightyear and Elio were sadly once and done for me.

I mean, Cars 2 was not a good movie. But it did give us this moment: "Do not eat the free pistachio ice cream."

 

[Brian Noble]

(And yes, my kids and I quote that pretty much every time we are getting sushi or sashimi.)

Question - to those direct members who have gotten gold water bottles - did you just get 1 when you purchased or did you get 2? I guess I assumed we'd get 2 but the box came today and there's just 1 in there.

I also found it interesting that the certificate listed the date of our original (resale) purchase from 2023.
