I ventured off into N&R. Didn't get beat up too bad...yet...

I mostly "read only" up there. Once in a great while, I'll add my comments. But, I've never been beat up. More often, my comments just get ignored! (I'm not sure which is worse--having them throw rocks at you, or being perceived as being just too lame, for any of them to respond? )

We prefer doing stuff with our kids on their birthdays also. We have done some home parties and gym parties but everyone prefers to do a family activity together. Just found out that not 3 miles from our house is a new escape room place. And they have a pickleball court. So we will take advantage of that this summer.

Never have I heard of pickleball before. I just had to look it up!

Boma...View attachment 208606

That's it for this trip. It was one of the nicest trips ever.

That looked like some crazy rain you have. I can't wait for my Boma breakfast now! I'm glad you had a good time and thanks for sharing your pictures.

Thanks, I'm glad that we made it home. We didn't get in until late yesterday. We had so much turbulance on the plane. It shook so much that the ceiling in front of us came mostly apart. It didn't fall, but was hanging by a thread. The people ahead of us was holding it up.

Oh my goodness, Bets!! That must have been freaky. So glad you're home safe and sound, and WELCOME BACK!

 

[MinnieM123]

The like was for just getting home. I'm so sorry you went through that but yet another reason I hate flying commercial

So, if you're fed up, does this mean that you're buying your own plane?

This has been done elsewhere as well. In Paris, couples would lock their commitment to love each other, by putting a lock on the bridge fence. Problem was that after some years of doing this, the weight of the metal locks (the photos I saw did not have any open spaces like your photo above) started to cause some weight issues.

Here's a report from the BBC from a few years ago, about the outcome:

Yep, there is even a recent Hallmark Channel movie about the Paris thing, starring Rebecca Romjin and Jerry O'Connel, called "Love Locks".

Yup, that's just about the right speed for a Hallmark Channel movie!

Nice. Looks like a Divi Divi tree--saw quite a few of those in Aruba, years ago.

Last year we had a bumper crop of grape tomatoes. Everybody in the family and friends got some. This year I'm hoping for a good lettuce yield.

Lettuce is great too, but, I'll take the grape tomato poppers...!

Indoors Mexico is my favorite Pavillon too.

It is definitely the prettiest inside. I have always wanted to eat there but won't because of all the bad reviews I have read about it for over a decade.

I'm too afraid to go there.

 

[donaldtoo]

Yes EMH are the best to get a lot of stuff done. Even if we close a park we will make ourselves get up early to make to the early park open.

Yep, same here. Done that many times...!

Not to mention the food didnt seem truly mexican to be honest...
Seems like they got a texmex cook than a real mexican one last time I Was there. I mean, adding yellow corn to some recipes? big no no.

 

[Gabe1]

I don't have a favorite there's so much to like about all of them each one has at least one thing I like to do there each trip

I was speaking to the theming overall of Mexico.

 

[donaldtoo]

Alrighty gang, I'm out...!
Sweet Disney dreams, and mornin', to one and all...!!!
Seeeeeeee y'allllllllll...!!!!!

I was confused by @donaldtoo 's driving time. It is 1127 miles from Austin to DW. There must be an awful lot of traffic down there or multiple stops are included in his drive estimate. Is there a giant ball of yarn off route 10, or a humongous plastic dinosaur that begs stopping and gawking?

We should then have a few more hours, I think we are just over 1300 miles.

 

[Gabe1]

We're talking about greasy and fattening food and wrinkles.

Hmpf. That should have clarified-and still

 

[Gabe1]

That's depressing to me (not referring to the AP holders, just the "news" above).

It's kinda a defeatist attitude Disney has with their transportation. Fail. Create an alternative with an upcharge if you don't want to get caught in hopper h*ll.

Yeah its like "be glad we're giving free transportation? ohh? too full? well time to cough even more money!"
