The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

And now they have turned a big chunk into dessert party so there is even less room than originally speculated. You know they had a master plan. It is now just clear.

yup..money.. I wonder how long until everything is upcharge and/or dinner package exclusive?

Five to ten pounds of spuds??!!! Yikes. You cook for an army over there! If I make it, it's just maybe 3-4 potatoes at the most, and that gives us leftover for about 2 more meals (side dish, that is).

Wish I could find chives. I like chives in potato salad. Too early for those too, I guess. (When I was a kid, the neighbor next to our house used to grow chives in the backyard. My brothers and I used to sneak over there and eat some, straight from the garden, compliments of the neighbor. Although, the neighbor didn't have a clue who kept eating all the chives . .. )

I actually wonder how big they are.
I mean, to chunk that much food....

Unfortunately, yes. There is more flooding in the Houston area, and along with the rain we had overnight, we're getting more here too. Our drought has been long gone for quite some time. For now, anyway.

3 days until Memorial Day.

You must really be getting hungry at this point.

Well, Texas should use the bonanza and build a lot of damns and retention systems, for in case there are long droughts in the future.

That was already done back in the 1930's and '40's. We have the Highland Lakes chain. Here is kind of a cross section of the system, with Austin all the way downstream on the left.

@betty rose Our last cruise we found some chairs on the top deck and waved bye to Miami.

Help me. I can't remember standing in the grass to see fireworks or mud being tracked through the hub from that. Where was the grass area for viewing?

There wasn't one which was part of they problem with the hub area. It might as well have been a sardine can. To expand the viewing area for not only the fireworks, but, the castle projections it needed to have some open space. The only way that could be accomplished is by paving it over or using artificial grass. Real grass would have quickly ended up as I described it. The hub was a pleasant space, I don't deny that, but, it wasn't designed for sitting around looking at air particles pass by. It's real function was to have a simple outlet to go to the other lands, not to congregate. With the introduction of more Castle based shows it needed expansion and that is what we got. And I still feel that they spared nothing to make it as pleasant and eye appealing as anyone could expect. Call Disney cheap, but, I bet all of us would like to have what they spent to redo the hub in our personal bank accounts.

That makes me so sad. The Hub with the shade from the beautiful cherry trees was a very relaxing part of my families many years in the MK. I loved it. I cringe with every tree that is reduced to mulch. I also have a thing for all the pretty palm trees throughout WDW and while cool the Tomorrowland metal Palm are just not the same. I am that way 'bout lots of things. Plastic Cheese makes me cringe too.

Goes to show you one person's Ugly is another person's Beautiful.

Does a plastic Castle bother you too? Seems like it should. In Disneyland Paris, the castle isn't made out of plastic, it's real stone. Can't fool those Europeans, they know a plastic castle when they see one.

Would you please tell me how to upload a picture? When I try, it asks for a url or something like that. The only way I can upload a picture directly is the avatar. Can I go straight from my picture files?

Sorry I'm behind but I see this was answered.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Yep, we all have different preferences. I could go into a long diatribe about it all, but I'm not. No point. We love our Disney, but, there is so much more out there. We recently decided not to even do the Princess 5K again next year...! Other things, like trips to Europe, and cruises (non-Disney) are being discussed.
My first visit to WDW was on our honeymoon in '88 at age 26. So, I've been fully aware of the changes at WDW in my adult life. We'll always all love our Disney, but, it ain't the only game on the planet.

A cruise? It's contagious.

Not sure if you're trying to be funny or a butt.

I'm being funny. I guess you didn't get a chance to read my other post to you. I am a retired Air Force NCO who spent almost 22 years active duty. My DW is also a retired Air Force NCO, and spent 22 years on active duty. Memorial Day, along with the other military appreciation days, are very special to both of us.
