We went in November.
It was great. It had one teeny, tiny Frozen reference that had me laughing so hard I cried!

The food was okay, but in my opinion, you don't really go for the food. Except the corn bread. You go for the corn bread!
And the strawberry shortcake is to die for.

@JenniferS I edited my post before someone could quote it. I bet you are proud of me. :)

Amen to that. My son is going to be 16 this summer and he is registered for drivers ed and I tell him the same thing.
When I was working for the bus company, I used to teach defensive driving. Sometimes all I could do was shake my head in disbelief at just how little anyone knows about driving defensively. They could always quote who had the right of way, but, never seemed to know what to do to avoid the folks that are not alert enough to care. It is a topic that comes up constantly and yet everyone seems to ignore it. I don't know why! I know that I have been saved from many accidents due to the fact that I was always aware and always prepared for someone to do something stupid on the highway. I was never disappointed by them. Do you have any idea how many people cut in front of a moving bus just because they don't want to be behind it? Many times instead of being behind it, they become part of it.

Anyway, more and more emphasis should be put on it, even if it is part of one's hands on driving test. If ever there is a time to be a defensive driver, that would be it.

Do birds eat bacon...?! o_O :D ;) :)
Birth Defect!!! :bookworm:

Unlike some people who are ticked when the light turns red juuuust as you get to the intersection, I just relax and figure God wanted to slow me down for two minutes.
When we get to Heaven I think we're going to be shocked how many of life's little inconvenient delays prevented us from being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Good one! :angelic::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull::joyfull:

Looks like my Disney drought might finally come to an end. Last night my dh said start planning summer 2016!!!!!!!! My youngest said make sure we get there after his birthday so he can go some places by himself. It's way too far away for me but keeping fingers crossed next summer will work out. The only good thing about not going for a while is my dh will have banked 4 weeks vacation time!!!!!!!

:hilarious: And, I've heard it said up here that, "Red means speed up!" (I'm super careful crossing the streets in the city when the light turns red for traffic; I've seen a lot of scary near-misses.)
We have red light cameras down here. If you go through a red light, odds are you'll get a ticket in the mail.

The only issue is that people tailgate, so because people are afraid of the cameras, they end up getting rear-ended a lot because they step on the brakes and get rear-ended. Kind of ironic. They're meant to prevent accidents, but actually cause them.

So would you suggest the curriculum needs to be revised to include more about defensive driving or should it happen with the driving time? I'm interested in what you think about this subject. I would like to help my kids learn to be better defensive drivers. My daughter is only 20 so she is still a young driver.
I think we all could benefit from any input you have to give.

That feeling when you have a group meeting, with one absent member, intending to do work, but you end up spending half the time complaining about the absent group member.

And then go, "whew! It's not just me!"
