I’m on my way to pick up T now.. he’s going to be over the moon!!!!! P.S. it’s my first white car ever. First time I’ve left black. I was running late so didn’t even have time to have it detailed.. we’ll go back together as soon as he’s finished. I’m outside waiting now.. T’s clinic is over at 11:45., I’ll walk in right before then. Can’t wait to see his reaction!!!


Don’t worry., I was safe taking the photos while driving.. even though it looks bad. lol.
The mirrors are so big!!

This is so so so different for me. I’m a midsize sedan type of gal.. but hey, why not switch things up for 2019. :)
Now I gotta learn the Jeep Wave ;)
Nice! My cousin has my step grandpa's 1993 Jeep. He did some work in it and upgraded the radio. It's great for them since they have five people

I'm definitely a fast car girl...:hilarious:

Congratulations!! I hope you enjoy driving it! I assume T loved the surprise. I can imagine the jaw drop. :)

Thanks. That's very sweet. We'll manage. Last Disney trip, DS ate pretty much nothing but fries. He ate cookies at dinner buffets, and fries....breakfasts, he'll eat pancakes and perhaps waffles, and he'll eat muffins and donuts. I KNOW there will be places that have fries, and I'm sure most breakfast buffets will have pancakes. We shouldn't have to leave property. If he doesn't want to eat the chicken nuggets, he can eat the fries. We're pretty mellow on vacation when it comes to that...and we're working on trying new foods, too, so we have almost 8 months for him to get used to that. Maybe the list will be a lot longer by then.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of you

By resort touring, you mean visiting the hotels? One day park to park. Sounds like a good idea actually. I will have to see prices though.
yes visiting the hotels can be almost as fun as doing it at Disney. A one day park to park is worth it just for WWOHP. Maybe stay at one of UNIs "value" resorts for one night. You may save enough compared to Disney to pay for a good portion of it.;)

We went to Hogsmeade when it first opened and there were only 3 rides...there were the 2 coasters and then the Forbidden Journey. At the time, I didn't think I could do FJ, I just wanted to shop and I wanted to do the Olivander's experience. But the wait for the Olivander's experience was 90 minutes, Forbidden Journey was 360 minutes, and just to get into the main gift shop where they sell the wands was 45-60 minutes. The shortest wait was to get into Honeydukes: 15 minutes. There wasn't room to swing a kneazle and we left disappointed, having not gotten to do anything. We went at 9:30 in the morning and couldn't even get into the WWoHP....they had already reached capacity. So they told us to try around 3 or 4 in the afternoon when people started leaving the area. That's what we did, and we were able to get in, but the wait times were just insane. We went into Honeydukes/zonkos, which are attached to eachother, bought a few treats, then my friend and I got in line for the bigger store while our husbands and my kids sat on a bench for an hour and a half to wait for us. Almost an hour later, it was our turn in the shop, but it was SO busy you could hardly walk through, and there was a HUGE crowd around the wall with the wands. All I wanted was a wand, and I couldn't even get up to the wall to see what wands they had. Every time someone would get their wand and step out of the way, there were 3 more jumping into that spot to look, and someone literally jumped up and reached over my head, clobbering me on the way down, to reach a wand that was up higher on the wall. I gave up after about 10 minutes and left empty-handed. But that was when it had only been opened for a month, so I'm betting it's kind of like FOP at AK....now it's been opened for 8 years, it SHOULDN'T be as packed. On the up side, I was so disappointed, my friend's husband contacted Universal and complained, explaining I had come all the way from the Netherlands and hadn't even been able to get to the wands. So they gave me a free one. So now I'm looking forward to actually getting to do Olivander's and look through the shops....I need a new Ravenclaw hoodie as mine is falling apart. I'd LIKE to do Forbidden Journey, but if I can't, I want to at least go through the queue to see the theming. But I'm not particularly fussed about whether I get to go on a coaster or not...I'm really only there for the theming.
The crowds have gone WAYYYYYYY down since opening. On our last day at the end of August we even had DA almost to ourselves:joyfull:

Good morning, and Happy New Year! I got back from the desert in time for snow, rain, freezing drizzle. Even though it was cold in AZ and Vegas, at least it was dry. Nice to be back home with the pup, though. It is funny how much I miss the little fuzzy girl.

By the way, @Mr Ferret 88 , I hated Vegas. After getting full body pushed in the crowds, I was ready to go back to our room. Where we were serenaded by loud techno music until 5am. Not sure where it was coming from, as we were on the 25th floor. Nice view of the strip, and could see the Bellagio water show from our room window.
The like is for the weather you had {{HUGS}} for the rest. stay warm and safe my friend xoxo

Ok I need advice on our upcoming WDW trip please. We are thinking about doing the Disney after dark. We have two options that week-HS or MK. It is $125 each plus free snacks and drinks inc. plus a lot of rides. Should we and which park would you do? Thanks guys for your feedback..😊
I vote for MK. Maybe schedule a late night the night before and just do after dark that day. Not that we'd ever spring for one of those;)
