Sheesh you try and be nice to your much younger sister because you have bright sunshine and she has wet market day and all you get is grief

Hmpf. It is August 17th and tonight's Mickey's Halloween Party is sold out. The party is sure beloved.

I spy a 'T' for me and one for you @MinnieM123 Dibs on upper left 'T'

Those are all so cute!!! A lot of the Disney t-shirt designs don't impress me, but this current batch is really a welcome exception, I must say!!

Although I've never stayed at the campground, I have stayed (a few times) at WL. I'd go over to the campground a few times (via boat or walkway, or even bus passing through), and I loved the peaceful atmosphere. I liked the buffet they had at the restaurant there. (Years ago, they had a nice luncheon buffet, but now I believe they only do a dinner buffet.)

The only reason I never stayed there was because a cabin would be too big for one person, and I don't do RV/camping. A room over at WL was a better choice for me, at the time.

They have a breakfast buffet as well. Their buffets are the best bang for your buck at Disney. @figmentfan423 ’s boys would be fed quite well.

If I was a self-indulgent person I would have Uber-Eats deliver me a caffeine packed
Starbucks coffee. Sounds so good right about now.

Wonder what the odds are of me actually going to get one

You could.

I think she had a cup delivered.

That is the same sort of timescale we are looking at. We have our dcl trip next year or it would have been sooner.
We have been watching about 3 different YouTubers who have all recently been to TDR and we have fallen in love with the parks. When we looked into prices it really wasn't as scary as we thought.

For us the plane tickets are the scary part. I saw Tim Tracker’s videos on it and it did look incredible.

Just be careful with these emails. I have seen a ton of emails that looks like they came fro linkedlink, same graphics, etc.. but they go to a different site that looks like a copy of linkedlin.. to steal your username and pass.

The emails are easy to spot if you know where to look (the email addresses and reply to are usually nowhere similar to linkedlin's).

Although I'm not a member of linkedin, that's a good heads up for those who are. Need to be careful on any site I suppose.

For me camping is in a modern camper with a kitchen, bathroom, tv’s and wifi.

To me roughing it is a Holiday Inn with no room service.

Tim was one we watched. We also follow KrispySmore (they were the couple with Tim and Jen) and also L and R dreaming who were there at a similar time.

For me Roughing it is letting the butler and maid sleep in the holiday inn

I hate rain, I hate rain, I hate rain so please lord, bring on the snow--so much more pleasant and then I can spend the day outside playing in it. I got a denim skirt finished except for the hem but it's to early for anything denim except shorts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FTFY.

 

[MinnieM123]

Be safe!! You might want to unplug if it's really bad. I unplugged my computer and everything the other day when we got a really big storm with a lot of lightning...it can travel through electrical wiring, etc.

Do they sell those surge protects (power strips they call them here) overseas? @Cesar R M , aren't those supposed to protect electronics in storms?

 

[MinnieM123]

Those were some really kind words. Thanks. I don’t want to be super woman though. I have realized lately that I cannot do everything and stress myself out. I need to make time for me everyday and the kids now know not to bug me when I do yoga and meditate. That is my time.

Yup, BALANCE is the key . . . (for all of us).

Can I give you a big High Five on that one?!! MAJOR pet peeve of mine--can't STAND IT!!! What all these companies, etc., are doing is making the customer enter their own data, so that the company can get rid of more of their own staff--that used to do this for the customer. (Here's another dinosaur term for you: "Customer Service" -- the real kind.)

And I can also tell you that I have probably forgotten 80% of all passwords I've entered, and then freak out when I can't get into something. I was always afraid that if I wrote them down, they'd be found by some mysterious thief who was after my millions of dollars . ..

I try to use the same login and password for all sites. Yet it seems with some companies, if you have not had any activity for a year that they do not "honor" your login and password. I went to purchase tickets on Ticketmaster. It had been well over a year since I did that. I had written down my login and password but Ticketmaster said it was "invalid". I had to create another one.

 

[MinnieM123]

They should torch the whole circus and start over. They took a beautiful little "land" and turned it into a congested mess!

Absolutely. I avoid that area like the plague.

Reminds me of that old expression, "You always hurt the ones you love."

Not to mention, no mint on the pillow . . .

Some places don't do that ...

That's another thing!! They'll kick you out if you haven't been on the site for a while. And the other thing we're always told is to never use the same login/password on all your various sites, as once that is identified by an unscrupulous person, he/she can get into all of your accounts. You can't win these days!

Can remember what is your thoughts on the new land?

I like it overall. The rides are fun...not too intense for smaller children, but still thrilling enough for older kids and adults. I’ve only eaten at Woody’s Lunch Box once, but the food was good. The theming is amazing–it really feels like you’ve shrunk down to the size of a toy. The only thing I wish there was more of, is shade. There aren’t very many places to get under if it rains or is really hot.

I know their advice re not using the same user name and password but I don't care. I'm living life on the edge

Online banking and credit cards are a different story. For those I have a unique user name and password.
