ATTQOTD- How about an Everything Free day for your birthday. You get admission to parks, food, beverages, hotels, Disney transportation and it's all on the house. Be Our Guest would have a whole new meaning.

(you said dream big)

ATTQOTD: This is hard! And just as I was coming up with a sub par answer, @Slogger hits it home with the birthday idea! I love that!

Fun Friday QOTD: What is something you would like to experience at the parks that is not currently offered? The sky is the limit here folks, so dream big!

Being able to walk to the Marathon weekend race starts from the Epcot resorts. Runner-up goes to riding space mountain with the lights on!

Ooh. I gotta say, being able to walk to the Disneyland races from the Disneyland Hotel was amazing. Roll out of bed and walk over, no worrying about transportation issues. I like the setting of the WDW races a lot more, but I'd forgotten how convenient the DL starting setup was.

ATTQOTD: bring back the surprise stays at the Cinderella castle suite like they did during the year of a million dreams.

ATTQOTD:

I’d like to walk through the new 5th gate to a Star Wars specific Disney Park. I believe Galaxy’s Edge falls woefully short of what their vision should have been.

I am so frustrated, angry, upset I don’t even know what to do at this point! This evening was my final training run for Chicago. A nice, easy 3 miles.

About halfway through the run I came up on a guy walking his dogs. I swear I’ve seen and passed him numerous times over the months. I thought I’d given them a wide enough berth as I passed. Apparently not.

As I passed them, one of the dogs turned, lunged and latched onto my forearm. I’ve got two deep punctures, one of which immediately swelled up like it had a shooter marble in it. The guy gave me his info and I had to walk a mile and a half home to get the car and drive to the urgent care.

The urgent care saw something on my x-rays they didn’t like, so now I’m sitting in the ER waiting on anything from an all clear to a CT scan to possible surgery. I’m exhausted.

The good news is that nobody thinks I’ll have to skip Chicago (yet). The bad news is I’ll be running it on two high powered antibiotics with attendant side effects. I certainly won’t be in a condition to shoot for the big sub-4:00 major PR attempt, it doesn’t feel like.

Thanks for letting me vent and moan a little!

Oh no! I'm so sorry, that is just terrible. Pixie dust you heal quick and no infections. I'm assuming he has his rabies shot? Good Luck at Chicago & feel free to moan here, we're here to support you!

ATTQOTD: I would say (assuming $$ is not a factor) more expansion/variability on the existing attractions. Some of you had mentioned bringing back older attractions. Why do they need to close down those old attractions to add new ones? Why can't they just add? They have the space. This way World of Motion, Horizons, Mr Toad's, etc. would still be there along side their newer replacements. Of course this is easier for attractions that don't require additional space, like Soarin'. Why can't they have one theater with flights to California and the others to the World? Or like Wishes on Tuesday and Friday nights, Happily Ever After on every other night, etc.

To everyone racing this weekend: Have a good race and have a safe race.

I'm excited to hear about all the new PRs, new digits, and BQs!

 

[roxymama]

Attqotd: I wouldn't mind a third US park in the Midwest

If that's dreaming too big, then I'd just like a full Tiki bird dinner show with trader Sam type eats and spiked dole whips.

Little Luke had a incident at daycare today that resulted in him biting his tongue fairly deep, but not all the way through. He’s going to be put to sleep for stitches. Some pixie dust and prayers would be appreciated. The being put to sleep is the concerning part.

Oh no! Being put to sleep is so worrying for any parent, but it makes it so much easier on the kiddo. Pixie dust sent! Hope he recovers quickly!

ACK! I bit my tongue at his age pretty bad. I have a cool scar to show for it though. Sending him lots of love!

@LSUlakes, sending good thoughts your way. Keep us posted.

So sorry to hear this. Hope things go smoothly.

Just a bit more than 36 hours until my first marathon. It’s getting real.

@LSUlakes Hope your little guy's procedure goes well.
