That'll be me if this job ends up turning into something I do permanently. My SUV gets horrible mileage, and this job will require a LOT of driving (other than the rare instances when I can work from home). I think my SUV's only getting about 20 highway mpg, possibly less. If it works out, gotta save the $$$

Yea, 20 on the highway is pretty terrible these days.
Back in the day, I remember some cars that were getting single digit highway mpg.
My pops old truck (with the camper on it) never got better than 12 mpg on the highway.

Too bad he didn't bring you anything to eat from there.

You're tellin' me...!!!

Apparently, it was this at one point...!!!!!
I can't even imagine...!!!

I saw that yesterday. Yikes. And that is why we have a FP for it in August.

We spent the morning at Epcot and are headed back for some downtime at the Music beforeHollywood studios and the dessert party tonight. The new version of Soarin is pretty awesome, I did miss some elements of the old one.

Not too great with the selfies, but here is us before our prepare open breakfast at garden grill.


Soarin queue for round two.



And an avocado margarita from La Cava in Mexico, it was awesome, an nice melon flavor. Hubby had the passion fruit, it was ok.


And at least one of these awesome coffee mugs is coming home with me!

No Frostrom for us today we walked past and they had been down so they were only doing fast pass. They had a water station set up for guests in the queue. The picture is on my real camera.

It's probably the stress. I'm glad you are going to get a break.

Thank You, and yes. Sis has been great with handling some of the legal stuff, only so much though one can do from another state.

I'm waiting to see how she is when all the dust settles. It has been a very long time now that she has been taking creative license to embellish stories no matter who the main characters are that she is speaking of. Also when I explain something to her she is either not remembering or she really wasn't listening. But in fairness my Dad had been enough to drive anyone up the wall for the last several years. So I'm hoping that when she is done with all things that need to be done she returns to normal but I'm guarded.

Boy, 2 days out of two days with Frostrom being down. Sadly starting to sound as reliable as Dwarf.

If they are doing FP's then it isn't down, but, they are limiting the numbers of people waiting to go through. I have a feeling that is how they are going to control the line lengths.

^^^Real pizza but it needs hot pepper flakes just a few for zip

as a Mexican I concur full force!

Shredded dry pepper ftw!

I ended up having to send it...she was so obnoxious. First she asked me at the funeral...then she asked my brother at the funeral. Then she reminded me before she LEFT the funeral. Then she called me at mom's house (we were still there) to see if we had dug it out. Then she called again a couple of days later. I moved over here and figured I was done, but she met my aunt and started hounding her at church! I sent it to spare my aunt. And yes...Twit is a good word for her.

Wow, if someone had done that I would have told them to get the hell out of our lives.
What a rude person! if her priority is a goddarn recipe than the well being of the people who are mourning, then I would not want to have anything to do with this person.

With all the talk of pizza, I'm hoping the blaze pizza will be open. They have dairy free "cheese". Hubby wants to try Cook's of Dublin. He wants the fish and chips. I'm thinking about trying that too. Or the breaded hamburger. And onion rings. Of course we have to hit Earl's for the holiday sandwich. Now, I'm making myself hungry.

yourself? pretty sure you're making all of us hungry!

HAHAHA, exactly as others predicted lol. Specially marny!

We actually joked about the line going around the entire worldshowcase lagoon.

The animatronics seems to be of the same type. So no surprise.
I actually liked the first dancing olaf, a lot of movement on that guy.

In other news.. I am annoyed.

Out of nowhere, a tabloid went to harrass and stain Michael Jackson's legacy yet again. Claiming the cops had found very awful illegal sex stuff on the 2003 raid. (which is BS, the reports mention it was normal adult stuff in his secret private room).
The interesting is, the news spread like a broken telephone and most tabloids repeated the news on the same days.
But later that day and today, CNN and others reported the CORRECT NEWS about the kind of stuff found. Which was nowhere as terrible as this tabloid claimed.
Quickly, a lot of Tabloids who had mirrored the news changed their pages about it or just simply deleted them.
But the damage was done (since people hardly read past the front page article and a few lines). Now everyone is reinforcing their views on MJ as a pedophile.

The culture of british tabloids is insane... clickbaiting with smearing constantly...

The parade started at 11:35 and the Cavs STILL haven't reached the stage because the crowd is so massive. It had to stop a lot to get the crowds out of the street. On a normal day I can drive the parade route in less than five minutes.



This is the stage area not counting everyone that was lined up on the street. So glad I didn't go. I wouldn't have lasted.

 

[Figgy1]

Tie them to the buffet, let them eat until they are ready to burst. That should last them at least 1/2 hour.

You are the optimist aren't you! A whole 1/2 hour?

 

[Figgy1]

Safe travels and have a magical time! BTW pics don't forget we like pics LOL

Only one?

You both look happy and relaxed. (Although, I'm not sure why you wouldn't be. You're at Disney!) I have always wanted to try that avocado margarita. Maybe someday.
Oh, and the tea cups. Cute!

Leave the dead alone. I don't know or care if that's true or not but the story only hurts his kids, who have it rough just being in that family.
