    ****January 2024 planning thread!!!

    I suppose I should add myself to this group. We'll be visiting January 3rd-6th. We're heading out to CA for the Rose Bowl and, of course, must make a stop at Disneyland and California Adventure while we're there! Not staying DVC this time as everything was sort of last minute arrangements so...

    How old were your parents when they had you?

    I was born during the few weeks of the year when my parents are the same age (between their birthdays). They were both 31.

    Is the Magic Gone? My observations after returning for the first time in six years.

    I don't think the magic's gone, but I do think that Disney is making some poor choices right now with regard to its most loyal WDW patrons. I'm not going to say we'll never go back - that would be foolish and disingenuous. But I will say that we will be spending our dollars elsewhere for awhile...

    Misheard Lyrics Holiday Edition

    Not exactly mishearing of lyrics, but DH was mid-thirties before someone (me) suggested to him that it might be Daddy dressed as Santa that Mommy gets caught kissing.

    What do you needless have a lot of in your home?

    Pez. I have never bought Pez for myself, but once someone finds out you have a "collection", it never stops. So yeah, DH is probably getting me a 4th Pez display case for Christmas.

    Is anyone considering postponing a trip?

    For Covid reasons? No, not anymore. DD got her first shot last week, and will be fully vaxxed before we go in December. But! I have decided to break from Disney after this last trip (planned over a year ago). I am not a fan of recent changes to Disney's bottom line. I have told my friends...

    Last time you dressed up at work for holloween

    Never. I have worked at places where it was allowed, but the unspoken rule was that it was allowed for the support staff. Attorneys had a strict dress code.

    Worst weather event you've ever experienced

    When I was 2 or 3, we were sailing Lake Erie. A storm came up, and my parents put me down below. I remember the boat rocking waaaay more than normal, but that's about it. My mom says that at one point during the storm she counted 3 waterspouts surrounding us. We did make it to shore (barely)...

    Epcot New Years Eve Sold Out

    Okay, I'd understand the 31st, but I'm seeing the 27th and 29th sold out of everything. I do have a reservation for those days, but I wanted to change one of them, and I can't figure out why those days would be so popular. Am I doing something wrong?

    Totally Frustrated with wait times calling Disney!

    Came here to complain about the 5 hours it took me to get an issue fixed last week, but clearly it could be worse...

    Movies That Got It Wrong

    Secretariat. So, those of you who recognize me from my annual Kentucky Derby thread may already know I'm a horse racing fan. I was so excited for this movie. I got a chance to speak briefly with Penny Chenery at an event once while the film was still in production and I asked her about it...

    Disney Enchantment is a hard fail and 1 OCT was a disaster

    I too was there for the 50th and was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I had a fun day, but there really were a number of key failures by the Disney team. Here's my experience: - We arrived a little after 7am. Not as early as some folks seem to be saying we should have arrived if I had paid...

    NOT Including Disney, Where Have You Vacationed This Summer?

    Most Beautiful Place in the World

    That I've seen thus far? Yosemite Valley. Runner up would be the Cinque Terre. I'm glad to see so many folks saying Banff/Jasper/Glacier, because that's where we're headed next summer!

    Is it just me?

    I'm a bit surprised about people calling it a "fad". I mean, I've only been loving charcuterie boards for the last 20 years or so. Maybe having fancy-schmancy boards for your home parties is a more 2010's thing, but I mean....it's meat, cheese, and accoutremants. It's been around since, like...

    Is it just me?

    If you don't like the "other stuff" then you probably wouldn't like a charcuterie board. The purpose of the boards are to try each individual item in combination with all the other individual items to experience the different flavors that they bring out in each other. Just like Remy with the...
