Our cool/COLD (for us) weather has arrived! We had a 40 degree temperature drop today; it was 73 at noon; 14 hours later it's 32!
This would be considered associated with Toy Story/childhood but it's not from the Toy Story float.
; our low last night was 27 and THAT was cold! I'm going to have to suck it up tomorrow and go out and get as many Christmas decorations as I can put away. MIGHT make it to upper 40's if I'm lucky. We have possible ice predicted for Thursday and would like to get everything but the lights put away.
BRRRR Diane
This is an "individual entry" in the Toy Story section of the parade. It's not a character, Toy Soldier or on a float.
Just a few thoughts from her but thought they were interesting; I think I'd much rather stay in the regular rooms! 
Sara and the girls got back from DW today and we talked a little this evening about the Island Tower. The biggest "disappointment/problem", in her opinion, was the distance to the GCH...especially from their room location. It took them 15 minutes...it's a half mile to get to the main area and a few minutes longer to get to the bus stop! The menu at the QS in the Tower did not appeal to either of them so they had most of their hotel meals at the Grand Floridian. It was actually CLOSER to walk there than to the GCH! They had issues getting their ride back to the airport this morning too. The entrance to the Tower can only be accessed with a Magic Band...and ride shares/UBER drivers can't get in! Instead of being picked up at the lobby area of the Tower they had to walk to the front entrance...not "fun" with luggage! The pros...the lounge areas, especially the Observation Deck. They used it Sunday night to watch the fireworks and were actually able to see a launch from Kennedy Space Center while waiting! She said THAT was really cool and Allie LOVED it! Rooms are nice but like I mentioned about Kidani ... LONG hallways, and with their location, it took forever to get there!
Yes...holiday display at the MK.
They're glad they stayed there and will probably go back but stick with the regular DVC rooms which are a little bit closer.
Guess it's not much different from the other DVC's though...Old Key West and SS are long walks, heck...even WL is a "good hike" to get to food but they're not quite as expensive as the Polynesian!
No Ma'am, this is not on Main Street.

Time getting close for y'all! 
Yes, this is part of an attraction in Adventureland.
