    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I think the same way your family does. I have been to Universal many times and have never even noticed these "sight lines". Maybe I'm not observant? I am too busy enjoying the attractions and never even look for poor sight lines. Maybe I'm not alone in thinking this? If I did happen to see...

    I don't go to many movies in the theatre, but I would go to How to Train your Dragon and Jurassic World, possibly Superman too.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    That's interesting to read about those who did not read the books but loved the movies. My husband was like that. He loved the movies. I kept telling him about what was Not in the movies and he got interested in reading the books after that. He is glad he did. Those books started him...

    If you like Will Trent, you might try the series of books on Will Trent. They are excellent and entertaining. Also, they are Not like the show. It follows some of the story lines, but as usual the TV adaptation wanders from the actual book content. I can't seem to get into the TV version...

    Universal's food is still pretty bad

    We usually eat at the Potter restaurants too. They have a good selection and their food is not as expensive as other sit down venues. We like Luigi's Pizza for a quick lunch too.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I agree with you!!! There's a first time for everything, LOL. I am "older" and I used to love to stay up and watch Johnny Carson every night. Then as I got older I quit watching the late night shows, and now don't even think of them. It could be a generational thing.

    I agree. I am "older" too and grew up watching the Oscars every year. It was an "event" that we didn't miss! Then it became a stand for politics, and that was a big turn off. Many years later, I could care less about the Oscars and won't watch them anymore.

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    I usually agree with you most of the time, LOL. But I disagree that disney is a luxury item. It might have been many years ago. It is an extremely expensive vacation, but misses the mark for luxury in many areas. Also, ROI that is not there anymore (at least for us) makes it just an...

    Hey, Agent H, I just want to say it's refreshing having a younger outlook on things on here!

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    You hit the nail on the head. We went to WDW with our kids because we were nostalgic for the Disney we watched as kids. We waited each week to watch Wide World of Color and the Mickey Mouse Club. The kids enjoyed it but I don't think even they knew too much about Mickey. They just loved...

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    Agree. Another problem that I think will be a big problem is that the kids today are Not raised on Disney, like my generation was. They may not be familiar with Mickey or Donald, at least not any more than they are aware of the newer trendy ones.. I'm talking about Mario and others too. I am...

    Impressive defunct experiences you've been able to enjoy

    Boy what a nostalgia trip these posts have been for me! It saddens me to read these, but makes me grateful that I got to do every one of them, and still have the wonderful memories.

    Thoughts on Port Orleans French Quarter?

    We;ve always stayed in Bldg 4. It was a nice area and quick walk to the main building. We heard the horses hooves but that never bothered us, probably because we were not on the main walkway. Our rooms were shower rooms, which we prefer. Each area has their own fountain and seating around...

    LOL had to laugh at this one. I live in Lutefisk country. But I came here from Tennessee. There is a big population of Norwegians here and the Lutheran Church is very active. I would never, never even try Lutefisk, especially since I learned how they make it. Ick! We have lots of...

    I disagree. Things were simpler then compared to now. Mores were different. I know that not every school was like that and I feel fortunate that's all.

    It means that the views have changed. It was a non issue when I went to school. It was accepted and no one every commented negatively while at school. I'm sure there was murmurings out side of school. But nothing was acted on. I'm happy that I lived where I did and was a teenager in that...

    Yes, it was a rural school near an air force base, so we had the base kids too. Really, it was like that and I'm glad I lived in a time when that was possible. I know not everyone did.
