The crown jewel is the bean, its real name is Cloud Gate but nobody would know what you're talking about, it answers only to Bean.
That is one of the coolest, futuristic things I've ever seen!!
(It would fit nicely somewhere in EPCOT.)

I went one weekend with DD down to her University and the next weekend to Disney. Talk about Sticker Shock!
The first couple of years when we only had my DS we stayed off site right outside the Magic Kingdom. Great hotels (now kinda scary)
and the moderates were not yet born on property. Food choices were plentiful and not anymore than around home or less. We always had free full breakfasts those few years at our hotel (not a motel like moderates are in reality) Having a little kid we generally ate dinner on our way back to our hotel off site. So really we only paid one meal in the parks and it wasn't as disproportionate to real life back then. Funny what happens with all that over a few decades.
Between the prices of resorts, admission and food things have certainly changed on Walton's Mountain.
Back in the early 90s, I recall staying at hotels up on I-Drive. This was before I-Drive got so crazy with gridlock traffic up there (before Universal really took off with big crowds), and also I'd only go during low-mid season for WDW. Back then, I'd have a rental car, too--nowadays, I never have a car, because I stay on property.
Anyway, there were tons of restaurants, very reasonably priced, within walking distance of most hotels in that area. I kinda miss those days, of just "winging it" without everything having to be "themed", as in WDW. It was like a nice little break from the parks' bubble . . .

Sympathy like. I take it you've gotten all access so you can watch tomorrow?Won't be home tomorrow night. Funeral. Not anyone in my family, but a friend of my mom's who really helped her out when her parents were making her life difficult in her teens and who was very, very dear, then a gathering afterward. Really tired of all of this.
I had an orange crush last night at the O's game, though.

That's one repair I find can be done quicker by hand. My current most used machine is a Brother although it has a few bells and whistles. The "antique" will actually get used because it's perfect for piecing 1/4 inch seams for quilts. Hopefully by spring I'll have time to make a few. Happy now my dh got it all sparkly clean and running perfectly even with a bad belt. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a new belt for it and give it a quick test run. Yea I get to visit my "local" sewing machine store

He's cute but you're right about if you had to have only one. Last trip the only things we had shipped were from Aribas a few little boxes with lots of stuffing between them. I was a bit taken a back by the size of the exterior boxThanks. I did call. That one is part of a gift for my Sis' birthday next week
I knew it wouldn't be good before opening. You could here the rattling of broken ceramic. The mugs were each wrapped very well, there were 4 coffee mugs. The problem was they put them in a box without packing material and the box was 14" x 14" so they bounced freely all the way from Florida to here. The only packing beyond what the mugs were wrapped in was a single piece of white tissue paper. Twits.The box was also caved in likely by UPS stacking boxes in trucks and it was pretty hollow.
This was the second box that made it up here. First one was squished too. I had purchased 2 lithographs from the art section in the
CoOp store in Springs. That box was about 4" high and then maybe 14" x 24, Lithographs and their matting mayb 1/4 inch each tops. Again no packing at all so when it came off the UPS truck it was flat. Fortunately the Lithographs are fine, they could have easily bent or creased.
Obviously there is something up with their packing department. But we did venture offsite to the Character Warehouse this time. Been a long while. We did get to see the machine that wraps mugs and figurines, dishes etc. Pretty cool.
