DLI - I waitressed all thru high school and college - I always check my utensils (and glassware)...If I see anything that doesn’t seem clean to me - I just ask for another...and I never put utensils back on the table directly. With COVID, I bring in a pack of antibacterial wipes and clean the table top and underside and have been known to wipe the chair or seat as well - anyplace my hands can touch - then I get another wipe and do my hands again and then another to wipe my utensils - but I like your idea of bringing in our own. Does it look weird that I’m doing all that wiping...Dunno and Don’t Care! I say do what works for you!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I sure appreciate it. I'm gonna see if I can find some good plastic utensils that I can take.

I am counting the seconds til I can wrap up work today....work has been insane for several months with no hint of stopping. We are headed to Sarasota tomorrow and even though we’re vaccinated I’m still leery of traveling, but I’m hoping once I’m looking at the Gulf and feeling the warm breeze I may feel differently.

Our town got hit last night with the storms that crossed Alabama and a tornado touched down 1 mile from us. Our DD and family heard the train sound and got into closet. It was spread over a roughly 3 mile path. Someone sent me a picture a bit later of the funnel and it was very close to my daughters house. Lots of trees down, roofs blown off, cars and buses overturned, but so far, thank the Maker, no one hurt! Life can sure change quickly

So glad no one is hurt. We had tornado warnings with alarms going off here in the Piedmont area of S. Carolina.

Hi Groupies!

We are here in Sarasota and at dinner tonight we were talking about the Flower and Garden and my brother in law said he would love to go to Epcot, so, on a whim, I was able to book a 2br at BCV. When I was texting my kids, my son asked if I’d made a park reservation....uhmmmmm NO.
So I immediately checked, and there is of course no availability.

I went from the rush of excitement to being able to see our beloved F & G and BCV to total frustration. I’m glad my son said something! Wahhhhhhh

I wonder if reservations ever open back up? And did you look after linking the BCV reservation to MDE? I understand the onsite guests have a different "bucket" of availability.

 

[Corinne]

I ended up canceling the resort reservation, it shows zero availability for any parks until next week.

So glad everyone is ok!! As you know I used to live in Iowa and having to deal with potential tornadoes was no fun.

Jimmy,

Thank goodness your daughter and her family are OK! Scary stuff!

We did have a great weekend! Our grands came over yesterday and. we spent time time playing with them, had a meal with them, our DD and DSIL and my parents. Weather looks great for this week here, and looks like a good work week ahead, so life is good
DLI, I hope you had a good weekend! And the same for you for the upcoming week!
