I have lots of photos and some commentary to share, but had ZERO Wifi in the park today; and none just now around the pool. :(
Might have to wait a bit now, as I can scarcely keep my eyes open, and I need to sent out a search party to find my ankles.

And oh darn, Hubby just asked if I want to walk to El Centro with him.
If I can't grab a nap, I might as well grab a coffee.

Later, Peeps.

Oy. I was always able to snatch wifi at the quiet pool in the morning but that was prior to MDE, the room at night is where I had problems at CS.

One quick post before we head out.
Tammy's tummy troubles did not get any better.

We got to MK in time for our first FP, for a change - Jungle Cruise.

After that, Hubby and I hopped into the Pirates Stand-by line, which promptly broke down. Thinking someone forgot to say good morning to George. Tam decided to sit that one out.

Next we used our FP's for HM, before Mike walked Tammy to the bus stop, while I took holiday decoration pics for y'all.

Awe, {{{HUGS}}} for Tammy, hope she is over it soon

I completely know what you mean... I would have stopped watching after they killed off Kate, but my DH loves it. When they got rid of Ziva, I was completely set on not watching. But, we still tune in every week.

I like NCIS: LA much better. The storylines are just as ridiculous, but at least there's some eye candy for the ladies... hello LL! Love me some Deeks, too. :inlove:

I watch them all, though I quit Miami while it was still on, He was a bad actor and I couldn't take him anymore.
LA is by far my favorite, I still have to decide about NOLA

I was too young to watch when Kate was killed off (I was 10), but I adored Ziva. I didn't like Kate as well, in part because I already liked Ziva much better. I found Kate to be a little whiny. I've seen a few bits and pieces of episodes since Ziva left, and I'm not at all impressed with her replacement. Ziva and Kate kicked butt. The new girl does not. It was a grave downgrade. Ziva was probably my favorite character in all of television, so I have stopped watching completely. Ordinarily, I'm not home on Tuesdays, so it was out of my way to watch it anyway. If Jeri Ryan is on it though, I will watch. Heck, if they had gotten her to replace Ziva, I would probably still watch.

I too like NCIS LA better. I like Deeks. He's funny. I also like Nell and Hetty. As a vertically challenged woman, I appreciate them both

After Tammy left, we finally got FP ride the 7DMT. I am of two minds about it. It's a lovely smooth little coaster with one neat show scene, but by golly, it's short!

And then, lunch:

The chips were so dog-gone good, that I actually ate them all this time.

But not all of my sandwich or dessert.
Hubby to the rescue!

How did your hubby fit into the Dwarf seats?

Well that is 2 Pumpkins.

No I didn't make them, my DS sent them to me. :inlove: Alternating doesn't work for me 'cause I can hardly remember to change the topper, I'm often off by weeks or miss a Holiday altogether. Our garage is at the back of our property, not attached so we shall see how long it takes to get it out to the car.

OK, I hafta' ask, 'cause you've mentioned this so many times over the years...
You live in a tundra-esque ;) part of the country, so why in theeeeeee heck do y'all have a detached garage way at the back of y'alls property, FCOL...?!?!?! o_O

Yes it does. We've played around with numbers. If we had to pay for the dining plan we would not purchase it.
There is a calculator that I believe All Ears has to see if it pans out for each family. Time and time again they say Disney Wins if you have to use 2 dining credits for one meal, it would be cheaper then to pay for that same meal out of pocket if vs buying the those 2 credits, (obviously free is different.) Our issue is we don't eat dessert normally with a meal and at table service we often have an adult beverage and that negates the free standard beverage cost cause we don't get it. Dessert for a family of 4 generally about $40, now add tax and tip on that. It would never be beneficial for my family if I paid rack rate.

But with my DS we get the plan at a 50% discount. Last time I went to see him I believe it was $25 a piece out of pocket for the 1TS 1CS snack and plastic mug. That was well worth it.

When my DD and I went down discounted we only did the CS meal plan cause we did not want to be tied to ADRs like I am when I am vacationing with DS. I think it was just over $15 day for 2CS, snack and plastic mug. Again very well worth it and sometimes we'd use that snack for our breakfast in the morning and no tipping.

I only did the DP once without a discount and it was worth it but times they did a change down south. Back then we had 1TS, that included the drink, appetizer, entree, dessert and tip plus 1CS 2 snacks and a mug. First the tip and appetizer went and it was $1 cheaper :cautious: the next cut was tootles to one of the two snacks. So no, I would not pay rack rate for it but at 50% off heck yeah.

Yep, when I was a CM, the 50% off DDP was great. Just so darn much food... :confused:

Agree!! And I love the "will they won't they" of Deeks and Kensi - although, she's married to his brother in real life, so that has to be super weird for them!:eek:

Sadly, my car's antena moves, so I can't have a topper. Once I get the SUV, I'm going to personalize a bit more. Its antenas don't move. And I'll put the two window stickers on: One says "Star Wars" and the other says "Bazinga".

That is where it was when we bought the place.

Likely the only reason my DH agreed to this particular house. He really only had a few requirements, larger than a 2 car garage, detached, the house had to have a basement with a work room and the master bedroom had to hold a king sized bed.

Now his thought process on the detached garage is garages are built on concrete slabs, as time goes on they settle and there are cracks and clevises, some gaps in garage doors and very difficult to plug those tiny gaps in overhead doors as they settle. He wanted the garage separate because if critters big or small got in there they were not getting in the house. We had mice twice in the garage. Once in his toy, his Fiat X19 trunk/hood area over the winter and once after that in a car that we were going to sell that we didn't get around to for a while. Now I have little boxes of decon around the garage and the beverage of choice in little tupperware bowls is antifreeze. No mice since. But you will recall the opossum that took up residence that took some time to evict.
