My mom said get gas when I've gone about 290 miles on the trip inidicator. The gas gauge really doesn't work. As I was headed to the gas station, it tried to tell me I should still be able to go 30 miles. That was after it told me I could go 9 miles.


This morning, my dad says to me, "So, did you get gas last night?" I told him yes, but decided we're adding the 20.3 gallons thing to the List of Stuff We Don't Tell Dad.

Well, you didn't run out, so it's all good! I remember one time when my sister borrowed my car, I had to drive 5 blocks to the gas station and I ran out of gas just as I was getting into the station. I literally coasted up to the pump!

I remember one time I had a bottle of chocolate sauce and nothing to put it with (no ice cream, etc.). So out of desperation, I got a few Ritz crackers and poured some on those!

I've made these but used leftover crushed candy canes.

I hope they are safe! Did they get kicked out of the park early? I read they were closing at like 5 and that today would be closed all day. No idea about how long the parks will close though.

They'll reopen tomorrow. Some rides may or may not be up yet though.

Didn't someone on here mention once that they were camping at Fort Wilderness when a storm hit and Disney put them in one of the cabins instead, at no extra charge because they were worried about the safety in a camper? Or was that someone on one of the buses at Disney who told me that? It sounds like Disney is at least on top of things when there is a major storm...they do care about the safety (or at least liability).

Everyone was evacuated from FW. Cabins too. They were moved to resort rooms. Guests had to park their trailers in the resorts parking lots.

cartoon show? right now theres a new popular show in CN..
I think its called STAR vs the forces of evil. also gravity falls was very popular.

Those are both Disney not on CN.

I haven't watched CN recently but I know Adventure Time and Steven Universe are pretty popular.

Please stay safe! Are you in an evacuation zone? Can you leave?

Im not sure if I was but no one evacuated from where I live which is Miami Dade. We where in a tropical warning area, but Mathew was a bit too close for comfort causing me to get to nervous, because if it had gone a bit more south or gone inland unlike predicted I would've been in trouble.
Luckily the worst that happened was my electricity flickering but never going out and a palm frond in the road.
I'm lucky Mathew did what it did. Hoping for the best for those that will be effected by Mathew

So are all the restaurants in the resorts closed as well? Are these boxed lunches the only food available?

They were closed last night and the lunches were for today as they asked evryone to stay in their rooms until this afternoon. The food courts and gift shops were sold out of everything foodwise and there's a curfew so no one could leave the resort to get food. Not that anywhere is open.

When someone we know has a new baby, my husband buys the yarn, and I crochet a blanket. This is my latest completed project. Now that this is done, I can get some crocheting done for Christmas.

That could be hard on families with little kids getting hungry. I hope people didn't hoard, and let everyone have a chance for a little food. The kids especially.

Thanks! Much appreciated!
I try not to talk about his situation too much here, but, this is such a big step for him...!!!

So glad for your son.

If you saw the boxed dinners they're selling for $12.99 you wouldn't say that.

Gouging is against the law. I wonder if they will be cited?

That's a full house!

not to mention all the walking in the open areas towards each hotel building.
I think POR is the most exposed of all the hotels right? along with COR.

Apart from that, I think the worst is OKW. The distance between the farther rooms to the lobby is a huge road.

Saratoga Springs is far from the lobby, if you stay at the Grandstand. At least a 20 minute walk.

I take it straight! Drink right out of the bottle.
