What a pleasure it would have been if steel had been discovered at that time. You're a few steps more modern then my childhood.

You guys are way off. I'm at least two centuries after that, I'd say about the time that the Phoenicians were putting together the alphabet.

Sweet! How's she doing? How's your paw and dw's knee?

Thanks for asking, Figgy!
Oldest DD is doing well, and baby is progressing on schedule!!!!!
DWifeys knee is actually much better, lately, and I'm still Grampy Bentpinky...!!!!!

I love this! Also love her name. One of the books I had when pregnant that is in the house somewhere waa one that showed the weekly fetal growth. It described all that was going on and also had in iutero pictures. I would only turn a page when I got to the next week. It really helped getting through the morning sickness and other aches and pains.

Cool!
She has had some morning sickness, but, it has since abated.
We just love those updates she sends us in our family text line!!!
I take it you or one of your DDs names is also Megan...?

 

[donaldtoo]

I called a couple of my kids that for a while because one of the companies I bought clothes from was called Sweet Potatoes. Eventually they all had different baby nicknames. I still call my youngest “little tot” or “tiny tot” even though she is 7 now.

Hahaaa...!!!
I still call oldest DD "Punkin", DS "Mattatat", and youngest DD "Little Angel"...and, "LA" is the feistiest of them all...!!!!!

I take it you or one if your DDs name is Megan...?

We are Steve (Stephen), Carolyn, Megan, Matt (Matthew), and Sarah...!

Cute
..............but seriously, MK is limited for table service dining. "Be Our Guest" is NEVER available. It doesn't matter if I jump on the booking as soon as I'm eligible....it's always full.
"Crystal Palace" would be fine but we've gone there at least twice. Tony's will be our first time. At least when I present the bookings to my wife she can't say: "Really...again?" //// Yup....she can't say THAT

Liberty Tree would be our choice

My wife would probably think most of Liberty Tree's food is bland. She comes from a culture that uses spices...chili sauce.....stuff with "zing" or some "kick" to it. When we ate at Colonial Williamsburg's nicest restaurant.....or Historic Alexandria VA....she enjoyed the historic "vibe".....ate her food....but later confessed that she felt it did not have "much taste". Italian food is well liked by Mrs. Steve

I've got an idea or 2 that may save you're Joisey cred.
1 Skipper's
2 The Plaza not fancy but milkshakes and ice cream
3 hop the monorail to Kona or GFC
4 boat to WCC
5 There has to be a time you could do LTT!
6 maybe do your sit down at lunch that day
7 CP for breakfast and just snack the rest of the day.

Mr. Donald, I'm a bit worried about your choice of words. are you sure you're not a cannibal?

Points (no Chuy's gift cards ) for all who get this modified movie reference...
"Nah, I'm not a cannibal, but, I am willing to learn."

 

[Songbird76]

Tell me your Tony's memories please.

We ate there in 2016 and were very disappointed. It was FREEZING in there...people were talking about it in the bathroom, so I know it wasn't just me, and DH overheard someone complaining to a manager about it. We were shoved in a back corner where we could see the busing station where all the CMs were bringing the dirty dishes, and where there was an outlet so everyone and their dog kept coming over and we kept having to get up so people could get their phones or plug them in, and the service was slow because we were kind of hidden. If the food had been great, it would have been worth it, but it was just ok. If you go, I'd recommend asking for a table in the main dining area, or in any case, not near an outlet!!!

Nowhere in Disney is good Italian food.

The dining reservations always determine which park we'll go to.
I called at 7:20am this morning and said what restaurants I wanted. I took the ones that were not at 4pm or 8pm. I try to get as close to the "normal dinner times" as possible i.e the 5 to 7pm range. Yak & Yeti at 7:15 is a touch beyond that...but so what

I had so much competition because almost all public schools in NJ are off that week. A million New Jersey residents are going to Disney. I know I've mentioned this before. Sorry for repeating myself. The Disney employee's openly call that week: "Jersey Week"

One of my sil’s is a teacher in NJ and I always ask when Teacher’s Convention is.

Want to know what bothers me more... that little girl doing that with no shoes on. It's almost like an invitation to have severe foot damage.
