I don't know what an acid green lemon is.

Its like a "lemon lime". But with seeds and much smaller in diameter. They are very acidic. Taste similar but not identical to the yellow lemon They have in the USA.
Then we have the real "lime". Which taste nowhere near a lemon.


So to resume..

Limon sin semilla (what americans know as "lemon lime)

Limon (Mexican lemon, o Limon con semilla, aka lemon with seeds)

Mexican Lime

Pop.

While I understand better than most values the transportation was almost mobbish. The rooms were OK but worn and tiny. The double beds (I have a king) are rough and the mattress and pillows along with towels to toilet paper were about as low quality as you could find. The buildings remind me of a Motel 6 template. Looking at AoA just visually I think about the suites the same way though my kids as babies would have likely enjoyed looking at "all the stuff." I just lack the appreciation for that type of theming and decorating. I love the subtle POR, FQ and the Coronado though I was not amused with the Bayou's furnishings last visit-very hodge podge and they just need to pitch the furniture and start over. There were 4 types of furniture in that room and nothing went or blended together. But it was clean, the queen beds were comfy and housekeeping was always there early in the morning. (I tip well daily) I would stay at a Value if I had to again but will do my best to avoid.

Riverside mansions all the way for us

Right there with ya. We ventured to the Bayou's this time, it had been a long while, back to the Mansions again for us. Love them. Love the River, Love the Lounge and the beautiful paths. And hopefully the new bus route will fix the problems they had last year.

 

[Gabe1]

Nah, If I go again. I will either go during a) convention b) outside the disney bubble c) only pay when theres heavy discounts.
Disney hotels have lost my money with their outrageous prices.

Less and less EMH too, one of the upsides to staying onsite. Transportation was a bigger for me too, now Uber can fix that issue as I don't care to rent cars.

Right back at you. If it's bad I hope they close your school. Be safe and FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The weather people changing their minds, now it might not be so much ice and not much snow. I guess I'll find out tomorrow what the weather will be!

Gas down and back was under $150 last trip plus 2 nights lodging about $130 runs and hides under large rock.

That is about an airfare for just one of us from here including a checked bag. On flip side we left at 3am via taxi and arrived in Orlando by 930am (lost an hour-time change) and POR by 1030am in park before noon.

Just got back from hangin' out with the kiddos and SonIL. Got a bunch of planning done for our upcoming holiday trip to Key West towards the end of this year.
We also ate at a favorite vegetarian (they also have vegan options) place of oldest DDs and SonILs on South 1st Street. I had Joe's Smokin' Omelet with spinach and chipotle-pecan pesto, and hash browns...sooooo darn good....!!!

DWifey had the grilled cheese with tomatoes and tomato soup...!!!

View attachment 188100

Good prices too... Nothing we ordered was over $10.

I tried to get a decent shot of downtown when we were headin' home across Lady Bird Lake, but, this was the best I could do...!

Yep. I'm with the DWifey that Grilled Cheese and Soup looked awesome.

 

[Gabe1]

~Campbell's, who introduced the world to its condensed tomato soup in 1897, sells enough cans to be eaten by more than 25 million people at least once a week.

A grilled cheese sandwich sounds really good right not. That might be dinner tomorrow.

And of course there was a stop at the Disney store, and I thought of all of you when I saw that new Minnie Mouse apparel so I snapped this one for all of you.

It was a fun weekend, but now I need to recover. My niece has a lot of energy!

I'm not thinking I'm going to get use to the New Minnie.

 

[donaldtoo]

you could ask them to be opened and cleaned. So its not that spicy.
I always like them "toreados" (aka grilled on a griddle)

I could, but, they're just a pretty garnish that I sometimes munch on. I wouldn't want them to go to that much trouble.
But, yes, cut 'em in half lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and membrane (which I could do myself if I wanted ) and they're not nearly as hot.

I've been going to the Shedd since I was just a little tyke. My Dad brought A/C to the Shedd way back and he use to bring me backstage so I could pet the dolphins. I loved Checo. Was so sad when he passed years ago.

Today GrandDad is gone. Grandad was 84 years old and the oldest fish to live in a zoo or aquarium. Came to Shedd in 1933. He will be missed.

Maybe so... but your discounts are about to begin. You can't do anything about your age, so you might as well suck up whatever benefits that you can derive from an uncontrollable condition.

Spoiler

BTW, I probably shouldn't be the one to break this to you, but, by the time you get the AARP invite, youth is but a distant memory already. You might as well smile and enjoy it.
