I didn't get into really liking the movies until this year, so I barely have collections of any. My prized possession is a sketch!

I've loved Dumbo since I was a baby. Seriously, I was 5 months old, went to WDW with my parents for the first time, they held up different plushes in front of me, and they held up Dumbo, and I grabbed his ears and that was it. It started a lifelong love of Dumbo and of elephants. My Dumbo collection is huge. I need to count to see how many I'm up to. And original Dumbo? Still have him. Although he looks very...well-loved

@donaldtoo , since you're a real "car" guy, what's your opinion on air bags? We have a 2007 Chevy Aveo (GM car), and long story short, apparently GM cars from 2004 2008 have issues with the airbag light system--a lot of them have had to be repaired. To me, airbags are a secondary restraint; the primary safety restraint is the seat belt. Yet, in my state (I don't know about Texas), they will not let your car pass inspection if the stupid red light is on. Our light has been on for a month now. (The airbags themselves are fine; they've never deployed. It's something in the electrical, whatever part of that system. GM had refused to do a recall of vehicles, so people are spending a lot of money to get this fixed.) So--

I was just wondering if you ever had issues with the airbag system in any of your cars (I know you've driven a number of different models and years). The repairs are expensive. Do you know that if your airbags deploy, they're only good for one time only--and they cost $1,000 each??!!! What a freakin racket going on. My parents and grandparents never had airbags in their cars (heck, my grandparents never even had seat belts!), and I think airbags should be an "optional" restraint system. What do you think?

We're staying at Yacht Club so I'm sure that we'll walk to Epcot every day. One of the couples that we're traveling with has never been to Disney so hopefully they're practicing up for a lot of walking, a lot of eating, and a lot of laughing :)

Love going with folks that have never been before. :)
On a trip in July of '12 We had 13 of us. Our family of 5, another family of 5, oldest and youngest DDs BFFs, and oldests soon-to-be fiance (he proposed to her in front of the Castle on her 21st b-day). All 5 of us had been before, but, the rest had either never been before or (2 in our group) it had been so long ago they didn't remember.
We all had a blast!

Similar on our June of '13 trip. Along with the 5 of us and oldests fiance, we took my MIL and our niece. Neither had ever been before. Again, we all had a blast...! :)

I have been fortunate enough to have not been in any accidents (knock on wood - my head ;)) in recent years, so I have never experienced an airbag deployment first hand. I do however think the overall technology is sound, when people who manufacture them aren't s c r e w i n g them up. And yes, I know they're a one shot deal. Most cars that experience an air bag deployment are probably totaled out anyway. If not, should be covered by insurance.

As far as issues go, at one point several years ago, Lilly Dimples shorted out the airbag system for some reason I never bothered to determine 'cause, down here anyway, it still passed inspection.
And that is pretty much the extent of what I know about them.

Hope y'all can get your issues resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. :)

I stayed there back in February 2013. It was only for two nights, but it was a great hotel. Didn't use the pool, but it is probably the best on property besides the water parks (which I've also never been to).
