Lucky girl. I got soaked in WDW on Splash in March and hubby got his shorts soaked on the DL version a couple weeks ago. I like the ride but I just don't like the getting wet part especially if it is my shorts, it just makes it so uncomfortable for walking.

specially if your shoes and underwear manage to get wet.. *shudders*

Great day, horrible computer service. I've had to reboot three times. Maybe I should run to the mountains to post!

eeeh, but why you have to reboot to get better service? o_o
or you mean rebooting the router/modem ?

ohh gotcha, and yes.. I know it as " frosting"

There is a difference in taste and texture.
Frosting is thick and gooey, and has a buttery taste.
Icing is thinner, glossy, and has a sugar base.

Not that I bake much anymore, but when I used to - I would frost a cake, but ice my brownies.

@Songbird76 have you figured out what resort you'll be staying at yet?

It depends on if we get the package or not. If it's not booked and we can do the deal with the free dining, etc, then we'll stay at Caribbean beach. If not, then probably All-Star music resort.

My baby is going back to middle school and my older ds has a program for special needs he'll attend.

How does that save on food bills?

 

[Songbird76]

I hope you do get breakfast. I was stoked when I heard this hubby and I both love their egg McMuffins. Love your comment about pasting the kids behind wall paper. Why didn't I ever think of that!

It's an expression here. Actually, they say "Paste the kids behind the wallpaper and then move".

 

[Songbird76]

no offence... but... couliflower pizza?

Hahahaha! Well, it's gluten free. Instead of using flour to make pizza dough, you steam cauliflower and puree it and make the crust from that. It doesn't taste bad, though it's hard to pick up. At least the recipe I used didn't work.

They don't eat constantly while at school and their army of friends aren't here helping them eat me out of house and home

It tastes very good but you have to eat it with a fork, so it's not really pizza

Maybe see if you can get the free dining at a value and pay out of pocket for the upgrade to the regular dining package, if I'm doing the math correctly you should break even or come out slightly ahead. Just a thought. I ran all sorts of #s for my trip next year and we're staying just off sight in a condo for most of our trip. My boys are open until close park commandos so that's the best deal for us and we don't have to share a bathroom!

She is very talented. Is she going to continue music, after school? Like teach, or play in an orchestra?

She is taking early entry classes at the local university and looking into their music program and wants to keep working with DCI.

I'm from the Denver area. You should drop by.

We always go to dinner in Fort Collins at our favorite Italian Restaurant. My family is from Northern Wyoming, though, so we don't spend a lot of time in the Denver area other than just passing through from the airport to home. It's a 5 hour drive from Denver to my home town. Are you actually IN Denver or one of the nearby cities?

I wear flip flop and never worry about my feet getting wet

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Those are the most beautiful colors , I love this pic. Thanks, I'm so glad you are posting all these different lovely pictures. Once again, you have made my day! xoxo

You are welcome.

Nope, the deal is only valid in moderate resorts, or the regular dining package with the deluxe resorts. I looked again, but the difference for us to pay for the dining package is about $600, so it's not worth it no more than we'll eat at table service restaurants. I actually crunched the numbers and it's cheaper for us with this deal to stay in the moderate resort than it is to stay at the value resort, because of the free QS dining. We're looking at 10 days. We were only going to stay 5, but we can do 10 days at the moderate resort for $200 more than we could stay at a value for 5 with this deal through the international site. So that's what we're doing if there's still availability when flights open up. The offer is valid through Oct. 20th, so I'll still be able to get the deal as long as there are rooms available.

That stinks but you do get a gift card. Are you heading out to see your family or are they going to meet you in Florida? Your trip sounds great!

Heading out to see family. I was hoping my brother and his husband and their daughter would join us at Disney, but his husband thinks it's too expensive and he'd rather do a cruise. So now we're hoping to spend a weekend with them in South Dakota, doing all the things we did as kids. If not, then we will have to skrimp on time with them because I HAVE to see my dad and help him out with some things, so we'll see. But we're looking at a nice long vacation. I hope it all comes together!
