I do need that. Actually my first ride was a small plane in sunny weather. It was the best flight ever. I think I was more scared because my two year old daughter was with me.

The smallest plane I've ever flown in was a 10 passenger twin turboprop. On the return trip I got to fly in the copilot seat. It was a total hoot! :)
The smallest aircraft I've ever flown in was a small, 2-seat helicopter (with the doors off) for an hour-long ride over the Austin area, that was also a hoot! I just love flyin'...!!! :joyfull: :)

That sounds so nice. Now I wish I had gone into the Basin (at Disney Springs) when I was down there. Actually, the only souvenirs I bought this time were three different sets of decorative chop sticks from the Mitsukoshi Dept. Store at the Japan Pavilion at EPCOT. My hubby loves using chopsticks; he even uses them for cooking utensils, such as stirring liquids in pots on the stove, etc.

Speaking of Disney Springs (the new Landing), which just opened on Sunday --

Went down there Monday afternoon for a while. Because it was a new area, I was curious to check it out. It's always interesting to see something new. Well, IMO, that's about it. There's a bunch of new stores and nice-looking buildings housing them, but it's all trendy retailers--Alex and Ani, Sephora, Under Armour, Pandora, Sunglass Hut, and so on. Basically, go to any big city mall and you'll find all the same (boring) stores that are now down at the "new" Disney Springs.

The Marketplace area still maintains some of the older charm and Disney-inspired shops. Have to say, I prefer the Marketplace over Disney Springs. But for people who love to shop and enjoy all the latest trendy things, they'd probably love Disney Springs. Also, the new parking garages down at that end are really large, so they're definitely bringing in customers for the stores and restaurants.

Your impressions echo some of my thoughts about the Disney Springs area. I am only interested in a few stores (pin store, world of disney, and basin) and some of the restaurants. The pictures I've seen of the "springs" area look pretty though.

wait a sec, when you mean "flying". You mean as in driving the plane or just as passenger?

Wow! That looks like fun! I mean, it's a real river (not a fake one, such as at a water park).

Yep, definitely (mostly - one tube chute and some small rapids ;)) a REAL lazy river.
Funny thing is, although there's no affiliation at all, the route down the Comal goes right past Schlitterbahn!!! :joyfull:
Schlitterbahn uses the river water for many of their attractions...! :)

I have always used humor when things start to disappoint me. I've always said it's much better to laugh, then cry. I hope no one, was upset reading the thread. So much has been said about all the cuts, am I disappointed with Disney, sometimes, but I will go and have a good time, regardless of the "cuts". I know better days are coming. The one thing I wish Disney would bring back, is having more attendants in the restrooms. Some of those are scary dirty. I didn't mean to bring any controversy to this thread. Sorry to all.

You speak from the heart and that is just fine. I respect your honesty. Post on woman! :inlove:
