I feel like (my own) GenX along with GenY are ruining our youth.
They already have too many electronics.. they already have more separation from their classmates than we ever had..youth competitive sports have seen more professionalization, General ridiculousness, and outrageous demands....too many kids focusing/being demanded to commit to one sport only...
Now “we” want to ruin school sports as well, separate them from their friends and classmates?
I can’t sit by and watch it happen.

@ajrwdwgirl , here are a few pictures for you! (First one is for Brad--guess who these guys are?!) 
Here's a few photos of the SWAN, since you've also stayed there.
#1 - lobby fountains
#2
Early morning (when I swam) lap pool at the (Swan) was empty--only me! Did they have the 4 cabanas when you were there? First I've seen of the cabanas--think this may be new. Thank goodness, just on one side only.
#4 Lap pool (non-cabana view) -- (Oh, they're redoing the pool bar behind the brown partitions, fyi.)

@Gabe1 , at Wolfgang Puck's Express (Marketplace). You and I have both had the chicken there over the years. This time I tried the bacon wrapped meatloaf, with mashed herb potatoes and onion rings.
YUM CITY!!!!
I wished I had not been so eager to dive into it, (cavewoman style . . . 
) but that bacon and beef were calling my name. So I only got a photo of it after I had already eaten about half of it.

@93boomer and @dryerlintfan , here is the redesigned front of World of Disney (Disney Marketplace). I saw some children staring in awe of the Cinderella coach on top of the sign (the older top, before redesign, was Stitch, correct?).
Anyway, I thought about people here with children when I took this picture. (And, @dryerlintfan , there are more princess dresses in there than you can shake a stick at!! "A" would love this place!!
)

Perhaps if I won the lottery, I'd rent one of those things!! (Seriously though, I never spend more than an hour at the very most, at any pool. I'm not really a "sun" person, and I'd never spend a day at poolside, so a cabana would be useless for me.)

Hey everybody!With school getting out this past Wednesday, a health scare and a family funeral this week has been ultra crazy and I couldn't get on here. I hope everyone is having a Marvelous holiday weekend and I hope today up soon!
Sorry to hear about your family funeral. I hope this weekend will be restful for you.

We left MK parking lot at 10:50am yesterday and with 2 gas stops made it home at 1:15am. No real holdups amazingly considering it was the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. No traffic in VA either. So we had a good ride going down, and coming back. A great trip overall. Yesterday we did EMH and first did SM, then MAWP, walked to BTMR. Then we used our FP for 7DMT. Got the kids some pretzels and popcorn to tide them over and sadly said “See you real soon.” It definitely was busier yesterday then any of the previous days. The parks didn’t seem to get crowded until closer to noon from Sunday through Thursday. We drove around in the golf cart around the campground and there were total empty loops. By Thursday night though, they were full again. I am thinking the week before Memorial Day may just be a good week to go crowd-wise.

Beautiful! Brad loved seeing the Dapper Dans and was pleased you thought to include him on the picture list. The fountain was one thing I really liked about the Swan to me it was beauty and whimsy. The pool at the Swan looks lovely. I don't know if the cabanas were there when we stayed, we walked by that pool briefly on our way to the Grotto pool. It must have been lovely to have the pool to yourself, maybe we should take our pool breaks in the morning.

Good weather here, although it is hot. It is in the 90's but the breeze today is wonderful. My family was over for lunch and hanging out and we have some graduation parties to go to. Otherwise relaxation for us.

Oh definitely. The sheets and towels will come in handy, especially the towels. Dh was washing the covers of our couch cushions 2 weeks ago. They are a darkish red. Well dome lighter towels and the rug from the kids’ bath was in the machine as well. All turned not the lovliest shade of pink. The cushion cover was fine though.

That is the plan. I think the up and down the coast rain may slow down our travel time.The weather does look kind of ornery for the first 3-4 days we are there. I may need to buy flip flops.
As many here probably already know, flip flops are my preferred footwear...TSSFFBR or otherwise...!!!!!
