Good luck to your stomach

Well, it's not like I chose Taco Bell or something...

Bought Disney tickets for May. There is one park we are not going to and that is MGM. Sorry, I will always call it MGM.

Okay, I decided that Noodles and Company cannot be any worse than campus food, so I decided to try it.

DW has eaten there, she's still alive. Actually she said it was good....

Having a detail knowledge of the whole story line has never been important to me. It was always, did I think it was funny, informative or just creative. Why did so many people get Figment fever when they had never laid eyes on the character?

You made an excellent observation there. I, also, was immediately drawn to Figment the first time I saw him back around 1985 (first trip to WDW). Never saw, nor knew, what a "Figment" (purple funny creature) was before I entered that Imagination pavilion. I even bought a stuffed Figment in the gift shop at that time. Hence, your opinion about not needing to know a backstory of an attraction is certainly true, if the attraction is so well presented that it draws in the crowds, and people return again to enjoy it.

I have a Figment from 1985 too!

That's a KEEPER!!! Oh, I wish I still had mine. (I've moved multiple times over the years, and I think it was probably lost during one of my moves. )

OR, maybe it never existed and was just a figment of your imagination!

Yes, yes . . . that, too . . .

OMG! You're killing me! I MISS my Figment!!

Last trip - Cali Grill. This trip - Mickey Dees. I don't know if I can do it. Ahhhhhhhhhh!

If eating at McD's is the sacrifice for being able to go to WDW, it would be a sacrifice I'd be willing to make.

*hangs head* as I mock you for the doggy booty thing.

I know....but I don't want the sand and salt getting into her paws. And her paws stay nice and dry. Did I mention she also wears coats......

How was it? I've thought about going there a few times, but usually wind up somewhere else instead. I hope it was better than campus food.

Hubby is still ill, but he is three days behind me. From what I understand about this particular virus, is it last's 3 weeks. I'm going into the third week, I'm not 100% , but I really feel so much better. Thanks for asking.

Pixie Dust to him. Glad to hear you are finally on the mend though.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

@MOXOMUMD how is you mom? I hope she was able to go home!

 

[Gabe1]

I am, but if it comes down to Uni vs. Disney, I'd rather just go to Disney. I wouldn't take my business away from Disney and go to Uni. If WDW lost the appeal (which it likely won't), I'd probably go elsewhere. Probably will try Uni when I move south, which I plan to do within the next few years, possibly even this time next year. It's just not something I find that appealing, so it's not something I'm rushing off to do

I did seriously consider doing a day or two at Uni, but couldn't. still don't get Uni's rule of being over 21 to stay in their hotels. My friend at I, at 18, stayed at Pop. We conducted ourselves like the adults that we are. Our parents didn't want us going to Uni unless we could stay on property (and they helped with expenses), so Uni lost our business there.

I get the 18 year olds and hotel rooms. Many are still in high school, my DD was. 18 is such a swishy age. Hotel owners have no idea when a reservation is made who will conduct themselves in an adult manner and the likelihood of bringing friends under 18 into that same hotel room registered or not is more likely than at 21. Underaged kids in a hotel room not related to the registered guests is an issue when things go wrong.

Ok, here's a random question.....Does anyone know if jello will set if it is made without sugar or does it need sugar?

The reason I'm asking is I want to try an earthquake lab with my 8th graders. The jello is the ground and they have to build a "building" using mini-marshmallows and toothpicks to withstand an earthquake. I have jello, but I am low on sugar in the house. I could hold off on the lab until Monday if I need sugar but if it will set just fine then I can do the lab tomorrow. I don't feel like driving 20 minutes to the grocery store for sugar and I don't want to pay our gas station prices. Thanks!

Jello already had sugar added... all you need to do is add hot water, stir and add cold water. It's a magic box of powder!
