@StarWarsGirl95 Did you order this terrible Maryland rain for the Preakness? ;) I know you don't like horse racing.)

Haha, nope. Tell you the truth, I had forgotten it was even Preakness weekend until my local news app dinged at me a little while ago.

Besides, the Orioles are in town, and y'all know I don't want anything to mess up the Orioles games!;)

It's thundering and pouring down rain here. My dad's not happy because he was doing yard work and has to stop, and my poor brother has anxiety issues with thunderstorms (minus in WDW, which is odd). He's already asked my mother around five times if the trees are going to fall down (even though there isn't any wind).

Time to veg out for the evening. Good night to all. Hugs to all who need them, and prayers, to all who need them. You may have guessed my husband is still trying to teach me about how the internet works. I've got to say, I may never really understand this. Artist's live in another world ....:confused::eek::D

Excuse me, but in case you haven't noticed, your cheese has gone way past the expiration date. You really should throw it out. And for heavens sake do not cut it in a manner that resembles a piece of pie. Pie it ain't. Pie it never will be. For one thing pie is edible and doesn't tend to gag you.

When you see cases in people with disabilities being discriminated against like the Oregon family and United Airlines or just in cases in normal everyday life....its beyond sad how cruel people are.

I agree, but, I don't see it as intentional cruelty. A lot of the blame can be placed on those that fake problems to get whatever benefits are available. It is human nature to not want to reward people that are cheating the system. It is the wrong way to go about it, but, in many ways they are really trying to make sure that only those that are deserving get those special treatments. I have never run into anyone that truly wants to see a person with problems be shortchanged, however, there are no safeguards in place to make sure that those that shouldn't be receiving help are excluded. So... as a natural reaction they become jaded and critical. Suspicious of anyone that makes that claim.

Don't believe it? Take a few minutes to go through some of the "Scooter" threads and see just how many, with no knowledge or information, determine that people that use those are just fat and lazy and are trying to get something extra. Proved, in their mind, over and over by the phrase... Well, they just got up and out of the scooter and walked to (whatever). They looked fine to me. The system needs more thought and at least a few minor controls to stop that foolishness. Humans are not the brightest animal. The only reason we made it to the top of the food chain is because we accidentally figured out how to make guns.

Ready for a big surprise?! Here it comes: I'm going to WDW on an early morning flight tomorrow!! :joyfull: I'll be back Thursday night.

I didn't say anything sooner, because it was touch and go (for weeks) as to whether I could travel at this time. Seemed like everything wrong kept piling up recently: extra busy at work, battling with insurance companies over car repairs (another driver backed into our car), and just trying to manage the budget.

And then when I was sure I could finally pull this off, two days ago, I had a minor injury to my eye! Literally, up to this morning, I was debating whether to postpone the whole thing (my airline tickets are good for a year, but I'd probably lose one night's fee for the hotel). But by mid-morning today, my eye was a lot better. So, WDW, here I come! :happy:

Just pulled my suitcase out of the closet, so I suppose I should probably start packing soon. That might be a good idea.

Oh, to @seahawk7 , and @Andrew C , I hope you both have a great trip with your families. To everyone else, I don't have a smartphone or anything that will keep me "connected" while I'm down there, so I'll say so long for now, until Friday. Note: I did try to find a disposable digital camera at Walgreens today, but they didn't have any. I wanted to take some pictures for you. Maybe I'll try to find one in a gift shop at my hotel, or even a film camera, because maybe the film pictures might be able to get scanned after they're developed, when I get back. I'll see what I can find down there. (Hubby said I could take his digital, but it's an expensive one, and I didn't want anything to happen to it--I'd much prefer just a cheap disposable). As usual, he hates flying, and WDW is not his "thing". So every year I go, he stays home with the dog. He said they're both happy though, because the two of them can make a big mess, and not have to clean up anything until just before I come back! :D ) Anyway, twice a day, I call home and give him the full update of the day's activities.

CHOW PUPPIES!

That luggage thing is a bit of a dilemma. Would you consider picking up the luggage yourself from the carousel, and then wheeling it over to the Magic Express bus line? I've seen a number of people who bring their luggage with them, and the driver puts it in the underneath storage area of the bus.

I did this since they took WAY TOO MUCH on my first trip. I was disappointed that they lost one of my bags (the most important one) and they "found it" almost at 1:00 am.
We were exhausted and wanted to sleep. and I couldn't because of this.

So in my second trip (this february) I definitively did everything myself.
Picked them up.. then gave them directly to the bus driver..

I was surprised how many people did that as well.
I guess not everyone trusts Disney's bag system.

One and a half more hours of work then I get to go home and sleep. We haven't packed at all but we got the ball rolling. Tonight is pizza and Survivor/ Amazing Race while we do laundry. After tonight I have only Monday night to work plus being on call Sunday day. I want to be excited but I'm already getting frustrated with Disney.
They forgot to send the yellow magical express tags for our luggage. Our travel agent called them and they said it's too late to send them but for us to tell the people magical express when we get to the airport and they will locate our bags by our luggage receipt from our flight. Yea right. I don't trust them. I'm going to try to stay positive but not stupid.

That info sounds so flawed. By the time you are down to the DME desk, your luggage will be going around the carousel. If you're not claiming it there it'll go to unclaimed luggage. I honestly don't think I'd trust that they'd get it to you.
