Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Just got back from the beach. We're staying across the street from the beach, so we have a key to use this path for beach access:


So basically we're paying about a third of what people at these places are paying for the exact same beach:


It's really pretty - tons of shells:


and occasional pelicans:

November 8

National Cappuccino Day
National Harvey Wallbanger Day
National Parents as Teachers Day
National STEM/STEAM Day*

NATIONAL S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. DAY

Full S.T.E.A.M. ahead! November 8 is a day meant to inspire kids to explore and pursue their interests in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. Inspired by the Project Mc² brand, created by MGA Entertainment, the S.T.E.A.M.- based franchise features four super smart girls who are part of a super-secret spy organization called NOV8 (that’s “innovate”).
Fun fact: The November 8th date is a play on words for same as that super- secret organization, NOV8, making it the perfect date to inspire innovation!

Why is S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. so important, now more than ever before?

· S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. is all around us and shapes our everyday experiences


· Of the U.S. Labor Department‘s predicted 10 fastest growing occupations, nearly all of them are S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. careers; therefore an interest in S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. early on can lead to success later on in life

· The U.S. has fallen behind other nations in science and math education; we need to motivate young kids to pursue these subjects to keep up with the rest of the world

· We must close the gender gap that exists in S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. related-careers. Building interest in girls is critical to their future earning potential.

OBSERVE

You can celebrate National S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M Day by tuning into the Netflix original series Project Mc², or by visiting www.projectmc2.com where you can become an honorary member of NOV8 and go on super-secret spy missions with the Project Mc² characters; McKeyla, Adrienne, Bryden and Camryn.

I love it when a person knows how to spell "cemetery" correctly.

If the sun hits the signs just right on Charing Cross St., you can clearly see where an "e" was patched on the "Cemetery Entrance" signs. :facepalm:
This sign?

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I've been reading some of the N & R threads, and I am constantly amazed when people say, "Admittedly I haven't been to WDW in 3 (or 5, or 8, or more) years ....", and then they proceed to carp about the parks. :banghead:

If memory serves, most of us have all been fairly recently, yes?

I'll go first. We've been 9 times in the past 11 years; each time for 10 days.

Haha. Someone push your buttons today??

Me, 7 times in the last 7 years...so yeah, once a year.

Not push my buttons per se; just sick of listening to people who don't go, haven't gone, may never go ... live in mommy's basement, and the sum total of their WDW knowledge comes from online forums and YouTube.

Somewhere in between the Doom & Gloomers and the Pixie Dust Snorters are the rest of us. Those of us who actually visit the parks; love some stuff, dislike others but don't become unhinged because of a lamp post, or a construction wall, or the retheming of a bypass.

Am I right?

P.S. - I am all in favour of people being rabid over the removal/relocation of the Epcot tombstones though. They be ugly. :hilarious:

My last 2 trips were 2012 and 2013. Some of us can still like Disney, but still take the time and money to see other places. I can still be critical. I'm quiet about a lot of things hoping that they have been fixed since, but some upcoming decisions just completely uninterest me and in my opinion further damage the theming of some of the parks.

And that's how you present a totally valid argument.
