Yep, so much stress expressed by either Guests who are currently planning trips, or those who have been there recently...what kinda’ “vacation” is that...?

WHO?....I don’t know which of us you are referring to? Or all of us that have visited Disney in the last year or so.

I’m watching Amy and Brads trip. Starwarsgirl trip to Disney Hawaii. I must be missing their stress. They are not having nice vacations? Color me confused. We’ve done 3 trips this year and had a blast. 2 to go. Who are all of those that are so miserable members recently at Disney properties and all stressed out to raise the question of what kinda’ vacation is that snid remarks? Why the constant digs?

Just maybe it is OK for you to love cruising and for the vast majority of us to love Disney on this thread without the constant pooping of what kind of vacation judgement.

There's a toilet sitting in the hallway from the bathroom renovation. Went out to find this...

Giggle. Has she forgiven you for going on vacation?

Hawaii was actually more stressful than WDW. Packing in the days leading up was stressful just trying to remember stuff that I don't normally take to WDW. And then there was the much longer travel time, plus I wasn't using BWI, my preferred airport, I was using Washington Dulles...just a lot of stress all around. And then in Hawaii you have to be more conscious because it is a place where people live, not just a vacation destination, so there is crime. Some teenagers in Honolulu almost tried to steal my backpack, but my dad saw what was going on and chased them off. While it's good to be vigilant, you definitely don't have much of that going on in WDW, and there's so many cameras around that anyone trying it wouldn't get very far. And even in Anaheim, walking across the street alone at night, I felt totally safe.

WDW I don't find stressful at all. Sure, some trips are better than others, but none of them are ever not fun. Plus for me it's super familiar. I could navigate MK blindfolded practically. Though I doubt this would be a very good idea.

It was a good trip. Probably will post some pictures at least on here. IDK if I'll have time for a trip report. Work has been crazy and we have the bathroom renovations going on.

Blurg. Crime is everywhere. I’ve been watching the dead American vacationers in the DR. Awful, talk about stress on a family. My Sis had her passport stolen in Mexico and couldn’t leave. 4 days to be able to get back. Travel by airports is always a roll of the dice. We became TSA precheck to make things more smooth. It has helped. LAST May it took 3 days to get home because of tropical storms. I can roll with it.

Like you I can along with my kids do WDW blindfolded. It is our HAPPY PLACE. It is always a WELCOME HOME arrival. Never regrets. I’m so looking forward to our next trip. Our one after that will be to celebrate my DD graduating Grad School. So many life moments celebrated at WDW. While DL was my first Park WDW will likely always be my WELCOME HOME.

We don't have twist ties at all on our bread here. We have the plastic thingies everyone on here seems to hate, but that I prefer over the OTHER kind we have:

These wrap around the twisted part of the bag, but you can never get them to close tightly after you've opened them, and they are really sharp at the edges, so you have to be careful. I'll take the plastic square with the opening any day over these.

Well treat yourself woman when you are stateside. Not like they’ll take suitcase space.

Although, I must say, I've always loved shoveling snow.

Seriously please think about taking your meds year round

I'm a veteran and currently am embarrassed by what is happening here in our country. I don't owe pride or respect to anything or anybody until they or it gives me reason to do so. When I enlisted in the service I took a vow to protect and defend the constitution. It seem like I am the only one that cares anymore.

Plenty of people care; you're far from the only one who cares.

I think the planning aspect is great for people who love to plan details. So I have nothing against that. We're all different.

Now, for peeps like me that prefer to just "go with the flow" and have no set schedule for vacation, I ignore the pre-trip planning. I tend to follow the Mr. Magoo approach -- walking under ladders, with a paint bucket falling and just missing my head by an inch. Works for me!

Ooohhh . . . I like that. You've never shared that view before -- didn't realize there was a nice lighthouse there.

*sigh* I want to go back to Disneyland. Maybe next year...

May I hide in your baggage?

 

[Go.Nijntje]

I heard that you either love pandan or hate it.

I hated it in this porridge. I don't mind it in the pancakes they have here.

Good Morning, Happy Satuday...

I'm off to the dealership this morning, my lease has a recall and it's going to take them 2 hours to check it, and 1 hour to do my tire rotation and oil change... good grief! Going to bring my crochet and my kindle with me to keep me company!

Mickey tried to steal my shoes today! He even lifted my foot up once and started to take it off and when the photopass reprimanded him he then tried to take my shoe by untying them! What a prankster!

What a wonderful meeting with Mickey. Your pictures are making it hard not to plan a trip to Disneyland.

Here's a silly question that might make you smile and think: "That Steve....what are we gonna do with him?"...............Anyway, which type of bread sealer do you prefer....the twist tie or the yellow thingymabob? View attachment 384492

I use neither, just twirl the bag closed and tuck it under the loaf when I put it down.
