Two years ago, my suitcase was overweight (much like me) and I had to take stuff out to make weight or pay the overage fee. I knew there was a bottle of wine in the bag that was part of the problem, so I took it out and then walked around the pool area asking if anyone would like an unopened...

During one of the tours I took a few years back, the guide said that they were always female and had to weigh between 88 and 105 pounds in order to 'fly' that night. Too light and they went too fast, too heavy and they might get hung up on the wire (in which case Tink had to shut off the lights...

I was there for the deluge and it was the worst I have ever experienced....and that includes being there in a tropical storm. One of my friends thought it would be fun to ride the Speedway in the rain. I (stupidly) agreed. First off, the car was full of water. I sat in a puddle on the seat...

About 10 years ago, I worked to get a similar law passed in Suffolk County on Long Island. The Balloon Council sent out a guy to defend the balloons and releases ("they degrade faster than leaves!"). But when we would walk along the shoreline of LI, I could fill a bag with balloon debris...

Back in the 80's a friend of mine and I went to Florida. Visited with my great-grandmother and the three of us went to WDW. As we were leaving for the day, my friend decided he wanted to buy something at the newstand as you leave. He is easily distracted, and bought his item and then walked...

How much debt did she have that she stole over $112,000????

I haven't done a winery tour in about 5 years.... I live off Exit 57 of the LIE, so no excuse for not heading out East now and again. Hopefully this summer or fall will be able to make plans to go. Any hope of Phil wanting to go back to WDW in the next year? I think we all want a sequel to...

The trip reports made two hellacious days at work tolerable! Thanks for the enjoyment - looking forward to when you can go back and give us another action packed recap.... I bet you guys would be fun to do a winery tour on the east end of Long Island with. If you ever decide to go, pick me up...

I know that you can pre-ship materials to be held for your stay (I have a friend who had medications shipped and held in the refrigerator for the week before she arrived), so I don't think there would be a problem holding a suitcase. Best thing to do is call and ask at CS. They would be able...

The past few years I have had some creative financing methods since I have been underemployed the past five years. As a DVC member, I have booked rooms for friends (and rented out points through David's Vacation Rental) which has allowed me to go to WDW. This October, I rented a room for a...

I'm a bit spoiled, I guess. My first trip as an 'adult' I had booked CBR, but Disney called and offered to upgrade me to Beach Club for an extra $10 a night. Did it without hesitation. My next trip was at Dixie Landings...ah, the memories of that forgotten name. Had a great time there and...

I booked Saturday for my August trip. Tried for Tusker but was closed out, so booked Tiffins. Wanted to book again for my October excursion and Disney apparently is not accepting reservations for the show this far out. I guess that Jungle will have concluded its run by then....

I am taking my 4 year old cousin in August, and one of the rides I was planning was IASW. So, now it will be closed so I will move on to something else. Every trip there is something that is being worked on and I deal. I have gone in winter, spring, summer and fall and in each trip, SOMETHING...

Every resort I stay at has become my new favorite. I always want to stay at my 'favorite' but try new resorts to see what they were like. What I have found is something special about every resort. At WL I loved watching the Electrical Water Pagent at night. At BW, I loved people watching and...

A few years back a friend and I were at WDW and had reservations for Akershus. The Princesses are making their rounds saying hello, and we would take a photo with each, chat, rinse, repeat. After a bit, Prince Charming and Cinderella come by. My friend jumps up and says, "Take a picture with...

I haven't but I will let him decide at that time. I think he is ok with the diaper, so we shall see. It won't bother me and if he wakes me at 3 am to help him, then we will take care of it and go back to sleep.

That's a big increase.... I can see a few dollars, but that seems excessive. They will still sell out though....

I have an elderly dog who has slept with me every night of the 15 years I have had her...now that she is 18 (she was my grandparent's dog and I inherited her). She likes to sleep in on the weekends. She usually barks to let me know she is awake and I go pick her up and take her outside...

I am sure it is - just want to be prepared for the possibilities. I want this trip to be memorable and not something that he looks back on with any negative feelings.

No - just at night.... My fear is what happens if he wets the bed. During the day I have no problem popping into a store and buying new shorts and underwear if needed....
