I walked passed an estate agent in my neighbourhood today and the rental price for this home made me laugh.
People outside London don't always understand why I live in a studio flat...

There were some really cool things to look at at the World of Disney. I loved the new design. More open with plenty of room to move. We ate at Blaze. I got a gluten free crust and got vegan cheese. You would never have known that crust was gluten free. It is the best deal on property for a good meal. $41. On the other hand we ate dinner at Sci Fi. It was $160 which included tip. For burgers and 2 kid meals, it was way overpriced. It was good though. We did A*S twice, Star Tours, TSMM, and waited at the end of the night for SDD. So much fun. A great coaster.

Really like your photos -- nice variety! As for the redesign of the WOD, I don't like it at all. Far prefer the older style, as I thought it was a lot more fun in there. The new design is too "mall-ish" for my tastes. Regardless, I'm glad you had fun --did you buy any souvenirs? How did your children like the store?

The good news BTS can be booked last minute, sometimes even the day before or the day of

I've just walked up to the counter and reserved a spot on the day I wanted to go. Never made any sort of advance reservations (then again, going solo, it's much easier to get a ticket for anything last minute). Also with BTS tour, they offer it multiple times every day, so not that difficult to find openings.

My insurance agent said I MUST add her within 30 days. I'm was willing to do it today after work, but my wife wants to wait a couple of weeks. "Why spend money before you have to?" That's her philosophy.

You both have a point. Maybe a compromise -- update the insurance about a week prior to when your daughter needs it.

Thanks for asking, she is struggling a bit since she is right handed and her right arm is broken, she's also getting her days mixed up. She was convinced tomorrow was Friday and I would be arriving and she was disappointed when I told her it was Wednesday today.
I hope you are having a magical time, it certainly looks like you are having fun!

Sometimes after an injury, it can also mess with your head. She may need to just get back to everything being normal after arm is all healed up. Hopefully, the confusion aspect is only temporary. Hugs to you both.

I remember that summer. It was warm in southern PA in March that year. It was awesome!

It was hot in that area in the summer of 2010 as well. I remember driving to NC to visit my Daughter in July of that year and the area through that area was hot. I remember checking my thermostat in my car in that little stretch of W. Virginia and it was over was over 100 degrees. I got to her place at about 9:00 that evening and it was still 105 and it was almost dark.

Hot dogs recall:

A company called, Vienna Beef, is having a big hot dog recall (right before the Memorial Day weekend), due to some metal pieces in the hot dogs. Guess the product was shipped to Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. CNN story below --

Are we SURE if I do that....and DD gets in an accident before that....we are covered?
It makes me uncomfortable....but I don't want to be annoying to the wife either

You can't find a decent 2 bedroom apartment in my neighbourhood for less than £700000.
That apartment looks very nice though but something modern new build like that in zone 2 in London would be around a million pounds so way out of my budget.

wait... do you BUY apartments there?

My friend says that her strategy won't work. He says once we add our daughter on to the car insurance Allstate will just retro active the charge back to yesterday....the day she got her license. So if we add her today or wait until June 16th we'll pay the same amount. I told the wife this but she didn't really react. Her mind was on something else. I'll leave it alone for awhile and bring it up another day.

No no no... I work for insurance and that's NOT how it works! They endorse her on the day you tell them to add her and the month should be prorated from the date you add her to the end of the month.

Sorry just saw this. Yes it was in April.

Sadly it wasn’t today. Ds wanted pizza, but the rest of us didn’t. I got the veggie platter in Morocco and it was delicious.

looks pretty quiet.. also duckies!

Cannot complain about crowds.

I love the Shawarma chicken and lamb platter at Tangierine Cafe.

Setting aside money. I didn't add her yet. She got her license yesterday. If she got in an accident on Sunday for example...is she...are we covered or not? Please

My kids like anything that has the words Disney and Store. Actually bought nothing but some toys at the Lego Store. Ds got the Steamboat Willie and the younger 2 got 2 small sets.

I'm not sure of the laws in NJ.... but they are a sticky state, so I can't be sure. Usually it goes in order... does the driver have insurance, No? Does the owner of the car have insurance? Yes.. and you are giving her expressive permission to borrow your car, so I believe she would be covered. (but PLEASE don't take my word for it, all insurance companies are different)

Ok. I will do the obvious thing and ask my actual local Allstate rep☺...yet thanks for your feedback

Oh my wonder why. Yummy for Morocco food!

Read your policy. For ours when I was 16 and got my license, my parents didn't have to add me because the policy was written to say it covered everyone in the house. We switched to Geico and they had to add me because the policy was written differently.
