What auto correct?

What I was trying to say...I'm pretty sure I would have those framed and on the wall.

Wait until your auto correct decides everything you type is Star Wars related.

Apologies since I know this has been asked...
Originally I was going to stake out a parade spot with the baby & stroller and send ODS and DH to get autographs or ride ST or whatever. I highly doubt the baby will sleep, so he will not be happy to sit and stare at me or even be held. You know how it is once they start crawling. So, I was thinking of sending him with DH instead, and they can just do autographs. Would he be best in the carrier then? I feel like you guys said not all of the lines can accommodate strollers. It might work best anyway to keep it with me and use it to take up enough parade space for the three of us.

 

[slaveone]

Keep the stroller and pop the little in the carrier.

Woo hoo...it's my SUPER FRIDAY (last day of work before vacation)

I was just looking at my calendar and going through all the things that must be done before I leave on Wednesday and realized that I need to do laundry this weekend and then I can't wear either of my favorite shirts again until at least Thursday. This made me half sad because I wear these shirts all the time and love them and half excited because SWW is so close!

Regarding cooling towels, I will say that we received Frosty Towels during the Africa Trek tour at DAK and after the Tower of Terror 10-miler race and they are really wonderful. Word of caution, they do have a menthol component so careful around the eyes (some runners learned the hard way!), and they are sold in the parks if needed. Also on Amazon if you need a search-image. http://www.amazon.com/Frosty-Towel-...8&qid=1431051221&sr=8-1&keywords=frosty+towel

I have mine from TOT actually, I should try to reuse it. My friend doesnt though. Do you know what stores she should check at the parks? Or is it like advil behind the counter nearly everywhere?

I've seen them on the carts at the DHS entrance and scattered around. Can't remember if they were in actual stores, though, sorry!

The Cooling Towels PP linked (and the ones I linked earlier today) are not the rewettable types. They are like wet wipes but with a cooling agent (menthol) added to the liquid so they provide a cooling sensation to the skin. They work way better than the towels that just hold water like you are talking about.

It's a Canon Rebel T5i. Just got it so I'll have play around with the settings. Thanks for the screen tip.

I just got a Rebel T5. They're not identical, but if you figure out some settings that work, let me know.

Thanks! HS carts works!

Hi....FYI....I just spotted a H&V Jedi Mickey for 2 on 5/22 @ 8pm


Edit..now it's an 8:30. I think people are trying to improve their times. I missed getting a 5:55 that was released, and it looks like an 8pm grabbed it, and the 8 was grabbed by an 8:30! I didn't know so many were THIS actively stalking at any given moment

Hope one of you was able to get a reso or earlier time!!

Ok, Odd.. was just on the phone with someone to cancel and get them to pick up 2 ADR's and somehow they both did not show up as available??!! Timed perfectly and they were searching on 2 different computers for them even a few minutes after I dropped them. They even called reservations while I was on the phone with them and still nothing... ADR's were for RH FYI. All I can assume is that they may have overbooked the space and they did not go out as available?? Possible warning for RH pickups and Thoughts... Anyone else have luck handing off RH ADR's??

 

[jacksmommy]

Can anyone recommend a dis-signer that has SWW autograph books, etc. Thanks!
