    Branching out! Not stepping down! NCL rocked our socks!

    With all the "stepping down" talk....I thought maybe a quicky share from a seasoned DCL cruiser (12 sailings across all 4 ships in 4 years) would be an interesting read. Disney's product is unique in its theming and how they use that to shape their experience. Other cruise lines have a lot...

    Any Mac users running Parallels and/or tech peeps!

    Question. My teenage sons each have an older Toshiba laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 7. I think I *may* be able to find the recovery discs and Windows license certificates for each. I know once I install Parallels on each of the boys' new MacBooks that I need to install Windows...

    Resize photos via iPad or iPhone?

    Is this possible? I've been fighting with it for over an hour. Killing me! I need to upload some photos to a web forum to try and sell some collectibles. The pics can't be any bigger than 1000kb, 800px by 800px in size. I'm trying desperately not to put this stuff on eBay. Between eBay &...

    DVC 3rd party points rental changes for 2015?

    Apparently Disney came out with something regarding third party points rentals beginning next year. I've searched a few times on a few sites and can't find anything about this. Can someone tell me what's up?

    Interesting Disney Fantasy Video!

    I was on youtube looking for something else when I happened across this video. It's shot from a radio control flying craft off an upper deck of the Fantasy while docked at Castaway Cay. Very neat perspective!

    Additional land owned by Disney in Anaheim?

    Can one of the experts show me or describe exactly where the additional acreage owned by Disney is located in Anaheim? Hubby was just reading an article that mentioned some 2000(?) plan for a third gate possibly here? It's off S. Harbor? Is this where it looks like a whole bunch of parking...

    Hot be damned. I'm done licking my sunburn/windburn wounds. Let's go back!

    Soooooo y'all have heard me whine and carry on about our terrible luck catching the crazy hot Santa Ana winds last week. And the herds of people. I've edited almost all my photos. Uploading has begun. Ordered our Photopass pics. Report is coming soon. Hubby & I have had time to get over...

    RSR riiiight before closing...

    How long before park closing do they close the line for RSR? Do they keep the line open up until the park closes? I was just glancing over TP's wait times at closing & RSR showed like 60 or 80 minutes. Was wondering if they cycle all those people thru even after the park closes. DH asked me...

    California Faux Pas?

    In discussing what to bring, what to wear, etc. I'm somewhat curious just how sorely we might stick out. I'm representing (we live in Texas) and planning to wear my cowboy boots with a sundress & sweater on the plane heading out. I recently took my boots to Alabama where my parents lived but...

    Take a moment to THINK about...

    ...how tied we are to our electronic devices. Like our CELL PHONES! I neeeeeever thought much about it. Just the natural way of things. I used my phone for everything. In a pinch, look it up. So, I just ran quickly into the local post office to ship off a box and in an instant...BAM! My...

    Rock Band anyone???

    Okay. So its a guilty pleasure akin to napping for me. I sneak into my oldest son's room and we "rock it out". :cool: Been calling it that for so many years. Yes, @casutton96 and I have our band: The Walter E's. He lost the stupid tongle thing to my favorite of his guitars so I broke down...

    Craziest dream about DL last week!

    I hadn't really thought of it again until just now but last week I had the craziest dream about our upcoming trip. It was sooooo vivid! I dreamed we walked into DL for the first time ever. As we came out onto Main Street USA for the first time I totally lost it, overcome in the moment, crying...

    Fireworks & Fantasmic Plan. Critique me, please?

    Calling all the local veterans! I've been studying maps & doing some research to be prepared with a solid game plan to see the fireworks & Fantasmic 2nd show. Now, I've read mention in a few spots about "cutting thru a path by Rancho del Zuccalo". I'm curious as to the logic because wouldn't...

    Weather. What to pack.

    Sooooo, locals. Another question. End of April & beginning of May. What to pack? Where we live it's humid so we always wear shorts and tshirts. Should we bring jeans or throw some sweatshirts on in the evening? Curious.

    Wait....What??....FP+ for BoG??

    For a restaurant?! People use 1 of their 3 allotted daily FP+ for a restaurant? To eat? Or is the BoG FP+ in addition to the 3 for the day? Sorry, I know very little about any of this. I keep seeing the BoG FP+ postings and I'm like "Whaaaaa?!?!" :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:

    Sinkhole Swallows Cars at Corvette Museum!

    My 17 yro couldn't even handle watching the video footage. Wow! It's awful seeing those beautiful, so rare cars just tossed about the big hole in the ground. Watching them tumble in is mind boggling. 8 cars went in, 6 owned by the museum & 2 on loan from GM. I hope the recovery is well...
