Have you guys heard about this movie, The Florida Project,? About two little girls living in poverty at a run down motel just outside Disney World. I think this looks awesome, and 96% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. Opens October 6.

That looks really good but I'm not sure I'll be up to watching it for a while yet.

I'm just curious--do people still put up plywood over their windows if a major storm is anticipated to hit? How long has he lived down there in Ft. Lauderdale? Did he just arrive (very) recently?

It's still a thing.

We did a few things but were rapidly fading and still had to unpack as we should be here a while.

And they cleaned Figgy up, not nearly as grungy. Carpet and paint go a long way.

Love the scene My favorite

Old enough to remember this version of computers

And it did break down

Strolled a small section of F&W but way too tired, came back and now so sleepy.

THNX for sharing but you may want to Amazon &/or clean out Les Hailles and F&W yourself a few things so you don't get stuck on 2 hours lines waiting for boxed food. Stay safe my friend

Wow. I hope all will be o.k. with his new home.

What she said.

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning! I'm going to take advantage of nobody being under foot today, but first I have to undo all the damage everybody did

@Gabe1 and @JenniferS Have a ton of fun but be very, very careful. The center of the cone of uncertainty is now the center of Florida. I hope that changes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbuda hit with 185 mph winds last evening. Everything is out on the island. Heading toward Antigua, P.R., Cuba and the U.S. now. Listening to weather people in the business for many years who have never seen anything like this before. That's all I can say.

From the article I just read haha

Four other storms have had winds as strong in the overall Atlantic region but they were in the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico, which are usually home to warmer waters that fuel cyclones. Hurricane Allen hit 190 mph in 1980, while 2005's Wilma, 1988's Gilbert and a 1935 great Florida Keys storm all had 185 mph winds.

I don't think this is a laughing matter at all. Gusts up to 225 mph on Barbuda last night.

Nope. I would be very far away. Take all the important stuff you own and run away.

I wonder what is the highest winds on record for a hurricane around the world? Cyclones included obviously.

I feel you. This was damage done in less than an hour last night and I had no energy to clean it up...

Incredible and terrifying. I hope it bumps back out to sea and stays there

I don't like naming all the storms. They do it even during winter. So annoying.

What ever happened to the good old days of naming storms. Blizzard of 78 , Hurricane of 38. We haven't gotten hit by a hurricane since 92. Tropical storms yes but no hurricanes.

Now that you said it, a blizzard will probably hit you this year.

My best friend's parents would. Not for the rain but for any flying debris.

16 days until Fall.

We had lunch at and then our room was ready! Woot!

Amateur hour

 

[StarWarsGirl]

We were off by noon to the MK and then a bit of Epcot but we were exhausted from the lack of sleep overnight and left with the start of Illuminations on a EMH!

While I like the bigger boats they are hot. No A/C and no fans. Off to the MK

We did a lot at the MK but was more crowded than it was suppose to be. UnderSea, Dwarf, Haunted Mansion, Thunder, Pooh, Pirates, Jungle. Haunted needs some help in their queue. One without A/C but has fans and none of them work and they are mounted every few feet. Didn't help one of the 'tour' group men kept shouting out even in the stretch room. We stopped for many photopasses at the MK.

And off to Epcot...not crowded at all. Only Test was not doable.

Up first was dinner....

Mongolian Beef

Pork Lion, Green Beans, mashed potatoes. Pork had a marinara BBQ sauce that was yummy. And Coffee. Needed Coffee.

I always get my brother the mongolian beef. The picky eater loves that stuff.

I prefer the sandwiches. I also discovered Seasons is the only place that can make a decent MD crab soup outside of MD. Though for some reason they wanted to top it with cheese. Um, no.
