When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Not overlooking the water - those are back-in sites, and according to what I read and saw, they can be tight. We’re not good with tight yet.
We went with a standard pull through site.

We were just out front playing the bean bag toss game with the kids next door, and the neighbours asked us the same thing.
Mike said we were looking into it. News to me. Truth is, we can’t book anything until the builders meetings in two weeks, which will give us a better idea when we are back to work.
There’s a chance we might have to pack up a few days early as is. That being said, in 33 years, I have yet to work a site that opened on or before the original planned date. Not once.

People are happy, or no?
I'm not sure. I literally just heard a snippet. In the 5 seconds I heard, I'm not super thrilled with the new voice, but that's also based on 5 seconds.
Update: The people on the first page of the N&R thread love it. I'm currently listening to a video of it, and I like it. They brought the chime back before announcements. They added a nod to the Enterprise sponsorship. Apparently there's a line about TRON.
I also got to thinking today that after seeing the additions to Epcot and DHS, MK really needs a refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I 1000% don't believe they should remove the classic rides or alter them in any major way, but that park felt the most "stale" to me. Maybe it's because there was just so much new for me this trip that I was excited about. Maybe I was blinded by the "new and shiny".
I've said this multiple times to so many people over the past couple weeks, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself here. To me, if you have a park hopper and Genie+, MK is not a park you need to rope drop anymore unless you want to ride Mine Train. That will change with Tron, but for right now you can get LLs for almost all the major attractions if you spend two evenings at MK on your trip. If I had a 5 day park hopper ticket with Genie+, I'd schedule my trip like this:
MK: 0 mornings, 2 nights
Epcot: 2 mornings, 1 night
DHS: 2 mornings, 1 night
AK: 1 morning
The fifth night I'd use at any of the parks, depending on what your family likes best. There just aren't any "huge draws" to MK at the moment like there are in the other parks. The top attractions don't draw the same lines at Guardians, Flight of Passage, Rise, Slinky, etc. Again, except for Mine Train... and you know my feelings on Mine Train.

Happy ACTUAL Independence day!! Today is the day the Continental Congress voted for Independence, though the written declaration would not be adopted for 2 more days. But today is the day we should actually be celebrating.

OMG that looks delicious -- I think you should eat the entire thing (and buy a few more for the gals to enjoy).

E and I were very productive today. We are trying to recruit new members, particularly men, to my choir, so we're holding an open rehearsal. I was asked to provide some foodage for in the break. And E has been craving chicken noodle soup, so we spent the whole day cooking/baking.
Zucchini bread:
Poppyseed bread
Fudge
Oreo truffles
And homemade noodles and soup

Would you share the zucchini bread recipe? I have a great banana bread recipe, but I don’t actually like banana bread (so I give it away).

I will, but you may have to remind me. I don't usually use this site from my phone, but from my laptop, which is upstairs, and my recipes are downstairs in my kitchen. So I might forget to grab it when I'm down there.
I know it's 2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of oil blended with sugar. Then add 3 eggs and 2 cups of grated Zucchini, and 1 TBLS of vanilla. Then in a separate bowl, you mix 3 cups of flour, and 1 TBLS of cinnamon....it's the smaller ingredients I'm not positive about. I THINK it's 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt (I never use that much) and 1/4 tsp baking powder (which I never measure, I just put a bit in my hand and throw it in.) Then you pour into two loaf pans and bake it for an hour (My oven needs 65 minutes) at I want to say 325F.
