September last year was not crowded at all. Think Soarin' never above 15 minutes. I wouldn't expect it to be crowded this year with the 50th coming up.

We used to do Sept when we started visiting. A close call with a hurricane made us change to May vacations.

True, but you take that risk travelling between late July-November anywhere on the East Coast or the gulf of Mexico. Florida actually hasn't had too many hurricanes hit lately; other states have had it worse.

We actually got stuck in Florida on an August trip because a hurricane hit...in Maryland.

But the question was about crowds, which are non-existent in September.

If I didn't have to prioritize paying for my daughter's college education I could see myself trading in my 2016 Mazda CX-5 for a 2021 Mazda CX-5. Sometimes you just like what you like

Mazdas are very reliable vehicles. Most of the vehicles sold in the USA are built in Japan .

Yup, like me and my Civic.

Yeah they don't have to worry about that. My brother won't be going to college, and I've been done for a while.

They got the dealer to get a lower car payment than what they currently have (obviously they'll be paying longer) and this car has significantly more features.

They also only have one car payment. My dad still has his 2014 Lacrosse. They don't make those any more and he's planning on driving that into the ground.

Small correction Tropical systems can hit in June. We know because we had to drive west to 81 and take that into SC before heading over to 95 to avoid one in June. We weren't going to miss our SWW day for just a bit of rain and wind

The Ferret told me that he wouldn't know. He visited there in October

Brings back memories. Also anyone remember the home ec classes we had to take 40-50 years ago in school? Baking is fun if you know what you are doing.

Home ec still existed back in the 1990s. I took home ec in Middle School. I recalled the class had us use the stove for stuff like baking cookies.

The only thing with home ec was they had a sewing part and the teacher had a student to help me sew boxer shorts because she saw how coordinated I was. I am not like my dad is with sewing.

I had problems originally with making cookies into balls, but that issue changed in time. I did have some experience with cooking before home ec. My mom had my younger brother and I make cookies when we were kids. but I was not shown to roll cookies into a ball.

If you were given an easy bake oven, and you had to eat the food from one, you works have wished you were never given one

Sounds about the same result, from the food that comes out of my oven, now.

Is that a joke? Those shrimp look rather paltry(Said in snootiness British accent).

Yep, I peeled back that cover and said... “That is definitely some shrimps”...!!!!!

Currently 62! Truth be told, the thermometer may be a tad off who cares.

Awesome...!!!!!!
Our current weather...!!!

The secret to that was use real cake mix not the carp that was sold for it

I used to make the best little chocolate cakes in my easy bake oven. So much fun.
