My baby is mad at me yet again. Tonight we're going to see some friends that live a bit of a drive from here so we'll pick the boys up so we don't have to wait for buses. My younger ds said he didn't want to go and could go to one of his friend's houses. I don't like this age at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

My nerves are slightly better today, slightly. We went into MDE last night and found we had to change our password. forgot I had to do that we did a test run and we could both get into the system at the same time on 2 computers not that I think we'll have to go that far. The test run for dining reservations went well, now it's just the way too long waits to make them.

Yep, that's the skillet, and it's pretty darn good...!

This is probably a really dumb question, but it says it's served family style in the middle of the table. Does everyone in our party have to order it if I want that? Or will they do an individual version if some people want to order from the a la carte?

Everybody can order what they want

That brings back memories!! My mother used to buy those (I never buy frozen desserts, except for ice cream). When I was a kid, my eldest brother would comment about my mother's frozen food selections. He pointed out that they all had comforting, down-home, names to them such as Sara Lee, Mrs. Smith's, Mrs. Paul's, or Marie Callendar. Years later, when he was out living on his own, he would only buy frozen food that had a Mrs. or a nice lady's first name on the package! True story! HA!

That's kind of funny! It's true.
I think my mother's last meal was a Sara Lee pie. She hadn't been eating well....no appetite and nothing sounded good. Finally she said she wanted blueberry pie. Well, we lived in a small town. There were 2 restaurants in town and one grocery store that not many people shopped at. We called both restaurants and one said yes, they had blueberry pie, so we said we'd be right over....but they were wrong. It was cherry pie, not blueberry. So Then hubby went to the grocery store and bought a frozen blueberry pie and baked it for her and she ate a whole small slice. Since she hadn't eaten more than 2 bites of ANYTHING in days, that whole little slice made our day. I have a soft spot for blueberry pie now. It's like magic.

Sympathy like. Did you say no? Is that why he's mad? He'll get over it, I'm sure.

Oh that's a relief...I got nervous for a bit, thinking it would be like LTT dinner, which I REALLY want to do, but the kids won't eat anything on there, or at least DS won't, so I didn't make an ADR there. But I DID make one for WCC....I didn't want to have to cancel it and find something else!

Of course. The faces he's going to make on the ride will be funny at least I either have complaining or the silent treatment to look foward to BTW enjoy your kids while they're still cute.

What about LTT lunch? didn't they have anything he'd eat?

Isnt this common in all cruises?
The Wonder had 4 machines running in every port during my Alaska trip.
Including one big baggage sensor system (similar to the airport transfer bag sensors)

Probably is since 9/11. This is the first cruise I have taken since before then. It appeared to me to just be 'business as usual' and not a reaction to things going on currently.

You can spend thousands and thousands of dollars in tuition at your kids university on one course. The University of Kentucky has one such course that can make parents squirm. Tacos Literacy, Public Advocacy, In Mexican food in the US South :101

Social Science of Mexican food in the south, taking tours of Mexican Restaurants, taking Taco Tours, Writing food reviews and posting them to Instagram. The professor of the course says alot of the course is Food Journalism.

To me it looks like Social Media everyday just without thousands of dollars in tuition.

@betty rose be safe this weekend. The storm heading your way does not look like fun!

 

[betty rose]

We all make our own oops, so we could never hold anything against ya. Besides we are very fond of you.

Thanks!

Thanks we heard about the storm, so we are going to stay overnight at the hotel next to the airport. So were are leaving tomorrow instead of Sunday to drive to the airport. We hope to beat the storm out of here.

Sorry, kids are a real test during the early teen years. They want to act like grownups one day, and a kid the next. They can be all over the place, hang in there it will get better.

Out for me today. I planned an extra day to finish up stuff. Now, I have to get some laundry done, a little cleaning and pack an overnight bag for the one night hotel stay. Will hope to check in later, to see what everyone is up to! Have a fun Friday.

Sounds like a good plan to go when you aren't in the parks, but it isn't too hard to go over from Epcot. It could be a late afternoon snack. Just keep in mind that with Beaches and Cream it is a small restaurant so space is limited.

I agree. @Songbird76 I believe Beaches and Cream has become wildly popular and the reason for why this small place originally created for their resort guests at that hotel is anything but that now. During busier times they tend not to even take up walk ups at all and the take out part limits what creations they will make frequently.

If B&C is a must do I'd make a reservation for a day that you might be hopping between the Studios and the World Showcase. With Sea Shore Sweets closing on the boardwalk I can only imagine B&C ADRs becoming more coveted, similar to daytime BOG

That is a little bit racy for a Disney Valentine!

I just hope that Valentine from back there was altered. Can you just imagine a kid coming home from school with that in their little Valentine Box? Wooba.
