    year you first went to WDW

    See, you're doing it again, lol, deep insightful musings that are a pleasure to take in. I hope you're still here 10 years from now. Hopefully me too, ha. Here's to your health 🍻

    year you first went to WDW

    I remember several. The best I could not even find (you have been prolific over the years lol). But, here are two that demonstrate your deeper side.... Disney Memories and this Memories These are not the thoughts of a shallow oblivious man, but rather of a deep-thinking empathetic soul. Seems...

    year you first went to WDW

    That is a way less heartwarming version of your origin story than I remember. :p

    year you first went to WDW

    See my signature for dates. It was right before Epcot Center opened, it was quite the tease seeing there, but not being able to visit. I was...mm... 14ish I think. Great memories even with there just being MK at the time.

    Can We Limit The Size of a Backpack

    I've seen the merch knock! ...reminds me of my dogs tails as they violently knock everything off the tables.

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    It will get much higher as the kids start buying overpriced houses. ...if they can buy houses. There is a stranglehold on that wealth right now.

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    Right? Managing a necessity (car loan) makes sense. Luxury? Not so much. Vacations are luxuries (not textbook definition, but mentality-wise) and as such paying interest on them is kinda bad. ...but I also agree, a couple hundred in interest if you are desperate to go right now, I get it. I...

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    You could take it a step further... First trip = experience Second trip = routine Third trip+ = addiction I see people that I am pretty sure are addicted to WDW (or travel in general) that are behaving financially like it is an addiction. Going into debt for a trip is one thing. Going into...

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    Soo, in my quest for a perfect credit score, I am faced with a wife who insists on doing the whole "get this credit card for X amount off, a free furbie, and a frapachino". It drives me nuts! My credit score analysis even says basically "stop opening credit cards moron". ...or something like...

    Nice! My goal is a perfect credit score, but that is proving... elusive. It might not even be possible?

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    That is immediately what I was thinking. If you use a credit card, you are "in debt" until you pay it. The article was sloppy in that it did not immediately and clearly define what debt meant here. Almost exactly in the middle, it finally did. ...at least 3 months to pay off (and therefore...

    What will Disney do about Morocco?

    You must have had very bad luck, or are just picky and not that into that sort of food. Lol, or I have very good luck and every time we went is was out of this world fantastic.

    What will Disney do about Morocco?

    FWIW, Restaurant Marrakesh was my family's overall favorite restaurant in all of WDW. No, in all of Florida.

    Being a Disney Influencer

    Tough job? Not when you think about what really drives an 'influencer". It is my opinion these people are driven by an insatiable narcissism that manifests in thinking everyone cares at all what they think. Of course, the truth is a lot of people do in fact care what a few of them think lol. If...

    Can We Limit The Size of a Backpack

    Maybe because I am old and fat, but I cannot imagine lugging a backpack of any size, let alone a large one. Bonus points to the offender for stamina. And yea, you are really close if you're getting whacked by the pack. I don't get that close given a choice. If I can smells your pits, Im...

    5th gate anyone.......?

    This just seems so counterintuitive. All the free space AND all of the suck in one package. What are the dining lines like?

    5th gate anyone.......?

    That is weird, the difference between what you're seeing vs what the wait time sites are showing. I believe you more than the sites, which means some reporting shenanigans from WDW?

    5th gate anyone.......?

    That is great news for me. Time to start going again. Post 2016 crowd levels were too nuts for comfort.

    5th gate anyone.......?

    Seems logical too that the International Airport would fill all the extra spots. So, sure, people might not do two days at MK, but more people would fly in and fill the gaps. My whole... "you could add 4 new gates, and the parks will still be crowded" theory based on Induced Demand. None of...
