The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

Just a heads up there are new security measures in the parks. There will be metal detectors and more serious bag searches, no costumes for those over 14 and no toy guns not even water guns.

Interesting to say the least. So sad we have to resort to this. I did read that someone tried to bring a gun into MK. Guess that's why this is happening.

There seems to be more sold during BBQ season and then again for the holidays. Maybe that's why

I love the Herr's ketchup chips. I go get them when they come in. And I buy several bags to last at least 6 month's.

I have and the quilt never laid correctly, it was always bunched up. A real PIA when making the bed too. I was determined to make it work but after 3 months of daily frustration I bought a new quilt!!

I have the same problem with a comforter, though, so I don't think there's a guarantee any which way.

No it's been in the works since Paris. I'm a bit upset about not being able to go Disney bounding

I don't understand the costume rules. If you don't wear a costume that could hide a weapon, or cover your face; what is the harm? I would think Disney should ban huge strollers and ECVs. Could hide any kind of weapon in those.

They can't ban ECV because of American with Disabilities Act. I agree some strollers are ridiculous.

I wonder how they will handle those items. I'm not opposed to ECV's, but for security maybe only Disney one's could be rented and not taken out of the park. Same with strollers. As long as they stay in the park, that would increase security, IMHO. That could regulate the size.

Let's let the stroller ECV subject die, as those threads wind up getting shut down

Ha! Yeah I don't think so. Maybe some crave attention not this one, she is actually the opposite has never liked attention drawn to her. First time she broke it she was 48 pounds with a 22 pound backpack, tipped over going down front staircase heading for bus. Yep this board member started a board policy about weight percentage of body weight to books sent home. Too late for her but dang.

The next year she stepped on my boy golden retrievers paw.

The third time a gown-up Dad at an outdoor swim meet kicked a rock as she was walking to the block, full force to her foot. He took her down.

The last time she was in my truck coming home from 530 am swim practice during the summer. Kid blew through stop sign and T-Boned her. Slammed her body sideways into door of truck. Kid totalled his pick-up, mine bigger and better had a dent in front quarter panel. Likely saved her from having more than a broken foot and headache.

So sometimes what looks like attention getting cycles to some are just that accidents and when there is a weakness in a part of the body it tends to snap that much easier. Me it was my ankles. I was a gymnast. None of us stuck our landings all the time.

Please tell me the father who did that got his kid disqualified, and that he got to pay for the medical bills!!

There's just a bit of tarnish showing on your halo...perhaps it's time for a polish?

@Songbird76 all we have to do is make it through the holidays in one piece and then it will almost be ADR time YEAAAAAAAAAAAA My last several trips were in June so I had to make ADRs in the middle of all the crazy. I'm thinking just after is better!

It's not tarnish! the cheap plating is starting to flake off

Hey!!!! I resemble that!

We pay by the litre so the whole gallon thing confuses me. I do know that gas usually seems much cheaper in the States, though. I think we have a lot more taxes added into our fuel costs.

If I remember correctly, from back in the days when I traveled to Canada more often, a U.S. gallon is approximately 5 litres.

Ginger Ale helps me.

Yes...I have been drinking it and dry crackers.

They have had a no adult costume rule for a longtime though, no?

Ok. Well gas here right now is 92.9 cents a litre, which is quite reasonable for us. So, I guess that's like $5 a gallon?

I think that rule now is also for parties which it wasn't before

OK, time for me to correct myself (I know it's shocking when we realize that I have an imperfection), however, I was thinking incorrectly. When I used to buy gas in Canada it was an Imperial Gallon. The comparison was that the Imperial Gallon was the equivalent of 5 American quarts. The American Gallon, was then and is now, 4 quarts per gallon. Sorry, I guess I didn't help and I am so, so ashamed of myself. There are 3.7854118 litres in a gallon for comparison so if you paid 93 cents per litre that would be the same as $3.52 per gallon.
