I have a place in Chicago and TN. Never ever take 55. Everything bad happens there. Take 39 South or any other methods around Chicago to 24 but please not 55!

I quoted myself because I wanted to emphasize that it is always a mistake to make statements like I did about the 2008 T-shirt. I reached for it right after and found a loose thread which led to a spot that had worn through. Oh, well! Sixteen years was a pretty good life span for a $7.00 shirt. I checked out my last Disney shirt purchase made in 2019, onsite for around $25.00, and found holes in the sleeves. You do the math.

The off-site stores are definitely worth it for merch. Problem is, a lot of us don't have a car down there (I rely only on the WDW transportation). Luckily for me, I rarely bought anything, as most of the designs, etc., I didn't really like. But once in a while, there would be one item that stood out, so I'd buy it.

Yup, I know that no car thing can be a bummer. The thing is with me, that is how I started my 48 trips to WDW over 40 years. Always with a car, either my own or a rental. I'd go for at least a week and a half but only spent 4 or 5 days at WDW itself. I stayed offsite on all but one of those trips, but even then I didn't take the Prison bus from the airport and instead rented a car and drove in. I used the car to go to the parks because I didn't want to have to wait 20 or more minutes for the bus to show up or have to cram into one with 60 sweaty people at the end of the day.
I also, as stated many times before, always explored the area. I'd spend a day in the parks and the next day go to the east to the beaches or the Space center or the west and go to St. Pete's or Tampa or south west to what is now Legoland (then Cyprus Gardens) and even to the north to Silver Springs or some other relaxing and very unique places. Those included other Theme parks like Universal and SeaWorld. One trip I even drove to Key West, stayed there overnight and then headed back to my hotel room in Kissimmee the next day, stopping at every parking area through the keys just to look at the waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico by just turning my head left or right. Except for when I financed a trip for my entire family the most I ever spent was about $1200.00 for everything. Those were the days of mostly solo trips, but when I started going in 1983 with four of us I spent around $2000! The big family trip with 11 people in $2008, I rented a 5 bedroom villa just off sight and two rental cars, airfare from Vermont for 7 of them and 7 day non-expiration park tickets for 9 of us came to just a little over $7100.00

I think it is the size of a Canadian coin, but I’m not certain.

This morning we went to AK. We walked on Flight of Passage at rope drop, then we walked on Na'vi River Journey, Everest, and Donosaur in that order. We ate some doughnuts from Joffrey's. Then we watched Festival of the Lion King. Thats such a good show. After that we used our converted LL from last night on the Safari. The animals were pretty active. After the Safari we did some shopping and moved over to Riverside.
We just went to French Quarter so I could get a replacement cup for the one I dropped and cracked the lid on about a month ago. Unfortunately the mug is the same design now, but it's made out of so much cheaper materials. I didn't get it because the quality was so low. I might see if I can just order a new lid that would fit.
We were going to do MK tonight for fireworks, but some people are tired, so a few of us will do Epcot to see Luminous in a little bit.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
We don’t have paper $1’s or $2’s. We have Loonies and Toonies, with the Toonie being the largest sized coin in regular circulation.
Old pic … we don’t actually have pennies anymore.
Thank you!
Well, we drove to Epcot. We got out of our car. We took about 10 steps. We looked up. We noticed downpouring rain on the other wide of the parking lot, coming right for us. We got back in our car. We sat in it for about 30 minutes. The rain continued to downpour. We drove back to Riverside. We got back to Riverside. It stopped raining heavily. All weather apps say something different, as has been the case down here this week. It's been the opposite of what is said. We are going to reassess at 7 to see if we want to go back or not.
I used to date a Civil War re-enactor.
