    Trip Report Readers Chick Chat and Guy Gabbing Thread!

    Thank you! I naively thought it was going to feel like the grief from when we previously lost much loved pets. Wrong! Pip was in my top 3 - right behind losing my mom and my grandmother.

    Trip Report Readers Chick Chat and Guy Gabbing Thread!

    For some reason I stopped getting alerts to this thread so I've missed months of posts. Gotta love technology. For those that have been reading others trip reports, my last few planned vacations to WDW had to be postponed because of my elderly dog. I'm sad to say that he's no longer with us...

    POFQ - first time visit!

    French Quarter is such a small hotel that I don't think there are any bad sections or rooms. I know Disney prices the river view rooms at a premium but I honestly don't think it's worth it at POFQ. You don't have a private balcony and most of the time (at least for us), the curtains are closed...

    Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

    Thanks 🤣 My husband and I (especially my husband) suffer from motion sickness so we're planning on taking Bonine (for me bc of drowsiness) and Dramamine (for him) before riding it, hopefully at the end of the day. There will probably be no more rides for us after that so I'm really hoping for...

    Planning a trip after a long absence

    I'm very sorry to hear about your wife. I hope WDW helps you heal. My first trip after my mother died was very hard and I had only gone there once with her when I was a little girl but I had other Disney memories with her from movies and songs. I had a very ugly cry when I heard a couple of...

    Trip Report Shortest Retirement in History?

    Am I the weirdo for actually hoping I get Conga for my first, and probably only, time riding GotG? 🤣

    Trip Report Giving It My All-LIVE!!🤞

    The stops aren't the problem for me LOL. It's the longer than usual waits for the buses that get to me most. When I stay there, I like to request a room near the west depot in Alligator Bayou because it's the first stop for most of the routes and I'm guaranteed a place on the bus. I've been...

    Trip Report Giving It My All-LIVE!!🤞

    Have a great trip! I do miss staying at Riverside but I have a hard time saying no to the cheaper, and better updated, rooms at Coronado lol. But I do have a dinner reservation at Boatwright's, which we've never eaten at before, with plans to get the beignets afterwards. I can't stay away...

    Rides you were/are scared of

    That's the thing though - the Stitch ride (never did the Alien one) wasn't scary at all. I thought the attraction was very boring. And I was trapped by shoulder restraints that didn't stop when it felt my shoulders LOL. And that made it feel like the show lasted forever 🤣

    Rides you were/are scared of

    I was an adult the first time I rode Stitch's Great Escape and I had an anxiety attack when the shoulder guards came down. They went down too far on my shoulder's, was too tight, and it made me feel trapped. I was in tears by the time the ride was over. So I learned no more rides for me that...

    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    He heard me complain for hours after that so he might have preferred that I had killed him rather than hear me harp about it for the entire flight LOL. And what made me even madder was that I kept complaining about how heavy my bag was and how thirsty I was getting the entire time we were...

    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    I'm still yelled at by TSA every time I fly because I don't fly frequently enough to remember the routine for the precheck. One time was actually really funny because I had a full Gatorade bottle in my carry on backpack and she started laughing when she saw how confused I was before I yelled my...

    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    I can squeeze A LOT of 3 oz and less items in the flat bottom quart sized bags. I was finally able to find a travel size bottle of contact saline solution so that alone allows me to travel without a checked baggage. I never wanted to gamble on a TSA agent having issues with a full size bottle...

    Trip Report COMPLETE - It's an After-Hours Event Extravaganza at Epcot!

    I now have to take Tylenol in the morning if I slept funny that night LOL. Never had that problem in my 20s - I turn 40 and BAM - old age slapping me in the face 🤣 I had the epiphany the other day that I've finished the process of turning into my mother. But I'm not quite sure on how and when...

    Trip Report A DREAM is a wish your heart makes

    So sorry to hear about your grandmother - and the problems you had at the start of your vacation. I was so paranoid about airlines making me check my carry on luggage that I bought one smaller than every airline requirement LOL. No way can anyone tell me that it's too big to fit! And I always...

    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    Thank you. Due to circumstances, his appointment has been delayed to when my husband gets back from his work trip later next week. I just hope I don't have to do it while he's gone. I wish we could be there the same time as everyone else to finally meet all yall but I'm (maybe? hopefully...

    Pre-Trip Our Bittersweet Return to Disney

    I'm so sorry to hear about Flik. It's never an easy decision especially when there's other emotions attached. Flik looks just like the tabby/Russian blue mix that we lost a few years ago due to kidney failure. I'm facing that again with my little Pom, Pippy. We have him scheduled for a home...
