@MR FERRET , I think you should invite the Pope to visit your island.

I'm sure he would enjoy riding around in his open air Pope Mobile. Everyone needs a rest!

And original Alice in Wonderland was better than the live action one, although the live action one was still pretty good. Although, due to my mildly unhealthy obsession with Alice in Wonderland that I've had since I was your daughter's age, anything Alice is good. Like pizza and particle accelerators, even the stinky ones are still pretty good.

Vice versa for me. I liked the new one. Have you ever seen the movie "Alice" that was on SyFy? That was trippy.

Well keeping with my more buddist philosiphy (sp) i am almost at the end of my re-incarnation schedule.Only a cat to go next.

What kind of cat? I suggest an alley cat to keep you humble!

Because I got it pretty early in the season my senior year of high school and was sick basically the entire year. So I geet one as early as possible and then get another once the forat wears off so that I am covered for the entire season.

Sorry you went through that. I'm not sure I could get a second out here if I requested. I might try to, if the season is really bad or long.

I'm out for the day, a busy day scheduled. Two stores to go to. Start making my list for packing, and doing more walking. We will be on a plane in exactly two weeks!

You get two? They have never suggested to do that in our area.

They don't for most people. My allergist suggested this specifically for me because I had the flu early and ended up really sick.

Only 88 shopping days until Christmas!

I've already started looking through my holiday recipes.

I forgot about butterscotch hard candy, it was the only hard candy I would eat. Still, I liked chocolate candy so much better.

Me too! Chocolate is the way to go!

I usually do the indoor parties with the boys and my dh takes them out for trick or treat. The 2 years I'm complaining about are the 2 that it was cold enough that it snowed.

I'd like another Halloween like last year, 75*!

How in heck can they think peanut butter is savory?? I think it has a moderate to sweet taste (depending upon the brand, or if it's just pure, ground peanut butter). It's one of my absolutely favorite foods (even without chocolate)!!

Have you ever heard of peanut butter chicken? It's quite often on our Chinese buffet.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Strongly suggest that you request a seat right by the door . . .

And wear a fire retardant suit.

Two shots? I have to admit I've never got one.

Me either! I never had a reason to, even after getting the flu last season, I only had a few bad days and then I was fine. I'm not a huge fan of vaccinations. While my daughter has gotten most of them, we skipped Hep A and B.

 

[catmom46]

in other news.. guess who cant sleep? we just had a serious storm.. hurricane winds for 2 hours.
Damaged quite a few houses. One of my cousins got his home severely damaged. not a fun day :/
the worse is.. the damage was right in the center of his apartment (the ceiling fell down)

Ouch. Hope no one was hurt! Sounds like a lot of repairing to do, though.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

?? Beef AND peanut butter and jelly??? TOGETHER??!!

Never had all those together but we've had meatballs in grape jelly sauce.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Vice versa for me. I liked the new one. Have you ever seen the movie "Alice" that was on SyFy? That was trippy.

I have not. Might have to check it out.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

There is my little kiddies at the door! @MOXOMUMD your pictures are the best, along with you!

Thank you.

Ugh. It is harder between the number of people pre-planning, and gobbling up the best fastpass times, months in advance, as well as their ADRs, etc. The crowds have also increased in the parks over the past few years, which doesn't help either.

In spite of all that, I still think there is some room for spontaneity. (Of course, this is much easier if you travel solo, versus a group.) One thing that saved my sanity during my visit to WDW were the single rider lines. I never even bothered to get any fastpass reservations at all for anything, and I still managed to ride many attractions with minimal, to moderate wait times, and have fun.

I actually found the single rider thing very good for me when I was in feb.

Speaking of parks..
I read in another wdw site.. that double tree gives you discounts for shopping in the Universal area, because they are part of the "universal partner hotel".
is that true? do they give the discount vouchers in the hotel? or where?

Mmmm drinkies

Ferret, the Pope's mission is to reach out to even the most delusional, wayward souls; and although there's only a snowball's chance (in hell) that there's any hope, even you might find redemption.

Okay, I've watched both Disney versions of Cinderella today, the new live-action one and the traditional animated one and....the new one is better.

Good. I am supposed to watch that with DD. Maybe tonight!
