SOG is quite nice, walking distance to Poly and no tax on anything there including adult beveragesYou could just take the money and run...to Disney World.

I guess if you are treating all of your Magic friends you get to choose the hotel, as long as it is on property. I don't drink and drive so need that Disney transportation 
Oooo i'm still in for that posh hotelI'm married to a cheapskate. If we hit we'll all pile into SOG

My Dad is cheap on the cell phone bill, so back in high school, I did iPod Touches instead of smartphones. They worked for me at the time, but once AT&T started doing smartphones on their prepaid plans, I started getting midgrade Android phones. The first two I got were total carp, but after my last one, I decided I was never doing iPhones. When my last one started to hit the two year mark, all AT&T had prepaid wise was cheap Androids or iPhone 6. I started looking into other phones, and there was one that they offered for their contract plans. It was $330 out of pocket if you bought the phone straight up. I did research and found an unlocked version on Amazon for $230. Hmmm...so $100 less and no bloatware...guess which route I went. I have no desire to go back to iOS anything.
As for talking to my phone, I'm fine with it. It makes me feel like I'm on Star Trek.

I never have a phone with a contract because it is so much cheaper to get a pay as you go. I bought a new phone last month because my old one was so old the Disney app wouldn't run on it anymore. My new one is a Sony but I don't like it as much as my old LG.

Speaking of Chicago, I watched a very nice parade on tv today from the "Magnificent Mile". It was on midday here (a repeat of an evening telecast out in your area recently, I guess). That was a very festive parade (they had some Disney in there, too--advertising of course, for the parks). From what I could see on tv, that area looked like a really nice business and shopping district.

We did not receive as much snow today as was predicted. My front yard here at the Jersey Shore looks like this. The guys covered in snow on the chairs are Santa and Snowman.
