And she is going to Disneyland. Likes Frozen, Little Mermaid and Dory 'cause Dory has Dory in it. This is how I envision @StarWarsGirl
as a preschooler

Well what do you think? Does this hold a life with me?

I really love Disney but only have tiny bits of Disney scattered about.

Oh my!
That could definitely come live with us...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

Well @figmentfan423 might love the new offerings of health at the new Avatarland but me, well.....Why is it that I favor yummy on vacation over healthy? And in fairness I do eat healthy most days not on vacation.

Satu’li Canteen

What is that dish...?!

 

[donaldtoo]

I'm eyeing a new van

I'm eying this...!





Although, this would be nice too...!



But, fully restored, these puppies can be up in the high 5 figure range, which would still be waaayyyyy outta' my budget for a toy...!!!

Not a clue, Disney just posted a few pictures yesterday. Everything is snippets and teasers. I did go to the Disney Food Blog yesterday and everything in Avatarland is still for the most part listed as unknown including the food and beverages. They did though release the height restrictions for the two attractions though.

Disney did learn a thing from FLE, they had full videos of everything out there for so long guests pretty much saw all of Circus and FLE and the new facades in the OLD FL there were very few surprises for many.

The groundhog gets to live today! It's above freezing going into the 50s and it's going to rain I have no desire to go hunting in the rain

He's celebrating that...!!!

Pretty much, yeah. My mom was always very musical, so when I was about that girl's age, she would put on Disney music and we would sing to it. I used to reenact the entire "Belle" scene from Beauty and the Beast. We would do "A Whole New World", and my mom would sing Aladdin's part (yeah, we both have quite the range, although hers is lower than mine) and I would sing Jasmine's. She was actually purposely doing that, teaching me how to sing melody when someone else was singing harmony. And that is the reason why I know the lyrics to most Disney songs.

Only wish I could get my hair to grow as long as that little girl's. She's got beautiful, long hair. Mine if I try to grow it that long stops growing when it gets to my elbows. I've given up; it's about two inches below shoulder length.

Thankfully it's fine in Baltimore, where I can happily continue with my ketchup and mustard combo on my hot dogs.

 

[donaldtoo]

It's beautiful, but I don't have a spot for it and I'm sure it's not in my budget

Oh, I know just the place in our house for it.
But, yes, that whole affording it thing...
Maybe they have a payment plan where you can buy each piece separately over 5 months...?!

One of my besties, my next door neighbor that moved to Ohio 2 years ago, well the most non-political person I ever met. The 30 years she lived in Illinois she proudly said she never voted (a whole different topic) but this was on her timeline today and I couldn't stop laughing.

 

[donaldtoo]

Can I tell you how much this ticks me off? It was a good quality, small cafe, in it's own recessed, quiet nook. They had good sandwiches and awesome desserts. I'm just not a fan of those other open air food places (that are in the direction heading down the street to TOT, etc.). I've often thought that the food offerings at DHS were some of the least appealing of all the parks to begin with. Ugh.

Yes, MGM/DHS has always been lagging behind the other Parks in the eatery dept., but, Starring Rolls was definitely a standout little gem. Why Disney would choose to close it just makes no sense to me, unless they think they have/do have something better up their sleeve.
Maybe by the time time all of the Park additions and changes are complete we'll be pleasantly surprised with improved eatery choices..!!!
Or, not...

My former next door neighbors son has this car. It was given to him by his Dad for his 15th Birthday-so he could anticipate for a full year being able to drive it-he only got to work on it and restore it properly and they did. His Dad was a drag racer and found a pretty cherry car for its age. They fixed some mechanical things and then had it repainted and redid the upholstery. That, a new camaro and his Dad's Dodge race car was in the garage when there was an electrical fire in the garage. (my son called the kid, a young adult at the time at work to tell him the garage was on fire and fire department there.) Being an electrical fire there wasn't flames but lots and lots of white smoke. All three cars made it but needed work and they unloaded the new camaro. The boys Dad passed in 07 but the old red car lives on. Doubt the kid is going to ever sell that one. Nor Dads Harley.

RV nope. Suburban. My husband jokes anout getting a mini bus. I said that is why we stopped at 4 kids.

Hahaaa...!
We originally planned on 4 kiddos (both DWifey and I come from 4 sib families) but, decided to stop at 3.
Our DS (second child - oldest is DD) was born at 1lb. 4oz., and spent 4.5 months in the NICU.
Then, just short of 2 years later, we had our youngest DD.
Physically (although, not early on) DS is fine these days, but, he has other issues with autism and Asperger's. Not severe, but, enough for him to have issues with time, space, math, etc.
He has a good job at a Salvation Army store just down the road from DWifeys office, and that has helped him gain some major self-confidence!
We had a Dodge Grand Caravan for a while when the kiddos were younger. Although, it was awesome when we first bought it, it turned out to be one of the biggest pieces of carp we've ever owned...!!!

Anyway, again, welcome to our happy little thread, and sorry if I may have overshared a bit...!!!

How is Sera doing these days...?!

Darn, that all sounds so silly, doesn't it, but, I don't care...!!!!!!!
