Good. I am supposed to watch that with DD. Maybe tonight!
I have seen it four times now. Once on the plane to Hawaii, once on the way back, and twice at home now that I have the Blue Ray/DVD combo pack. Love it! It doesn't replace Ever After as my favorite Cinderella adaptation of all time, but it's great. Also, Helena Bonham Carter as the fairy godmother is hilarious.

I watched that show only once, they seemed pretty much off the wall to me. Wasn't a fan.

I watched it from time to time the few years it was on. I was just more curious about their lifestyle. Their reality was different from mine, I guess. Thought some of the children were really very sweet, though. When the show went off the air after certain revelations became public, I wasn't surprised--in the sense that all those people just couldn't be so holy day in and day out--figured there had to be at least one of them who'd stray from the straight and narrow . . .

Two shots? I have to admit I've never got one.

In certain situations, there are some people who get it twice a season, but those are the exceptions. Before I worked in a hospital, I went for many years without ever getting one. Since it was recommended to all staff to get the flu vaccine, I've been getting it each year now for 12 years or so. Haven't had the flu (yet). (Back during the years when I did not get the flu shot, I got the flu once--and it was pretty bad.) Anyway, any staff who opt out of the flu shot, have to wear a face mask in all patient areas, for the entire flu season.

I half wonder if it's something as simple, as showing your hotel guestroom card to a restaurant, shop, etc. When I stayed at the Swan, at WDW, for example, my check in and check out dates were printed right on the card, itself. So I'm wondering if Doubletree has something similar with Universal. I can't imagine they'd ask you to carry around coupons, for example.

@MOXOMUMD , I was at the supermarket this morning and I saw boxes of pumpkin cake (like a breakfast loaf cake style) on display . . . and next to these boxes of scrumptiousness was a display of cans of cream cheese frosting. . . :rolleyes: :cautious: :hungry: ;) :joyfull:

Guilty of the cardinal sin of shopping while hungry . . . I bought both!! :D As soon as I came home, I dug into the pumpkin cake and frosted a bit of the top with the frosting from the can. However the cake crumbled a bit while I was trying to spread on the frosting, so I decided to eat the cake with a fork, and then I spooned out globbies of yummy frosting and ate it right off the spoon! :p Oh, I love the fall !!!

I seen a few videos online about how universal deals with coupons, discounts and the express passes...
and all of them said that the unified version of Disney via magicbands is way better in this aspect (the guy in one of the videos, ended with like. .16 vouchers and cards for just a single family.. like one card to enter, one for the hotel, one for discounts, other for food, other for the expresspass, other for transportation..etc..)

Problem with the Princess Bride:

Why, when Wesley is fighting the ROUS, does Buttercup just stand there? She doesn't even try to help! The sword was laying on the ground. While Wesley was distracting it, she could have picked up the sword and turned the ROUS into a kebab. Instead, she just kind of stands there like an oyster.

My goodness, I love this movie, but Buttercup is pretty pathetic.
