    Would you shorten your WDW trip for a retirement party?

    Personally, I would not short myself a trip-vacation day to attend someone's party planned after my trip. If I could easily alter the vacation to add a day at the beginning, and leave a day early, I MIGHT do that, as long as I could be just as happy with changing any plans that are already...

    Trick-or-Treaters Over Age 12 Can Face Arrest

    Threatening jail time for teenage trick-or-treating? It's actually laughable because there is NO way that would happen. WORST case scenario, if some unruly teens were vandalizing, or being otherwise being menacing, sure they could get arrested and charged in juvenile court. Even then, (which is...

    Would this annoy you? Isn't this something that is private?

    I would be annoyed that the teachers discussed this and he overheard them. That should be confidential information, they were not being careful about privacy. I do think their hands were kind of tied when the boy asked direct questions. I'd assume they were caught off guard, and without really...

    The Beyond Burger - Do you like it?

    Love the Beyond Burger! It's kind of an odd shade of pink before you cook it, but other than that, we love them. If you don't like it, try the Gardein brand frozen burger. It's good too, way better than Morningstar Farms, but very different than the Beyond Burger.

    Greeting cards - Yay or nay?

    Nay, I'm not a card person. But my mom is. And my grandma was. Maybe it's a generational thing. My mom used to call and remind me when relatives (even distant relatives) birthdays were coming up and tell me that I should send a card. I can tell she feels it's definitely an obligation, and she...

    Kid and cell phones

    Not judging anyone personally, just for the sake of discussion in general, I'm kind of surprised that so many people feel their kids need a phone because they are in activities. I have to wonder if we have lost the need to slow down a little. If soccer practice is scheduled from 5:00-7:00, but...

    Kid and cell phones

    My girls are 19 and 16 now, they both got cell phones at age 13. Both were really wanting a smart phone in the worst way when they were 11-12, but we made them wait. Interestingly, my in-laws got my youngest a cheap track phone a few months before we got her an iPhone before her birthday because...

    Do you ever accidentally buy healthy food

    I once accidentally bought a large bag of low fat dog food. My dog ate it, but less enthusiastically I noticed. When I finally saw the bag label it made sense he seemed a bit miffed. Poor dog, my bad!

    Co-workers wedding wwyd

    Well, you could try to give your friend of 10 years a more personal gift, and the co-worker you've only known for 8 months, something off her registry for a very reasonable, appropriate, or standard amount that you usually give. I wouldn't overthink it, because I doubt they will go back and...

    Any roller coasters that are too intense?

    My head also bangs around on RNR. I find the constant monitoring of trying to keep my head back in just the right the position I get the least amount of painful bumping around interferes with the enjoyment of the ride. I do love Everest, Space and Thunder.

    Ack! Advice quickly, please!

    Honestly, I would be annoyed too. I think people really need to think about how much space the host family has before asking to invite another. That's a factor for me. But, the bigger picture here is that if you say no your niece is going to feel slighted, or uncomfortable at best, which makes...

    Am I being a jerk?

    I think you should go with a girlfriend, or siblings, solo, or someone else for your 50th. I feel for your husband because it sounds like a huge pain, but he needs to work with the court to figure this out. I don't know if he needs a good lawyer or what, but I would NOT want to get caught in the...

    Most ridiculous argument you have ever had?

    2015 trip, Husband not happy with his color "red" magic band. Complains he is stuck with a red band for the whole trip when he would have preferred a "cooler" color like orange. Why? I guess because he doesn't like red and orange is a more manly color? Why didn't I know this? Well, me, the...

    Do you schedule a "break" day?

    Yep, we're arriving at around noon, and have no plans but pool and relaxing on that day. Then 2 days of rope drop touring. 3rd day is a total break day, no parks. Next 3 days are park days. Last day is not scheduled. Some or all of us may add a park day last minute, go back and repeat our...

    Another thread on what you would do....

    We got our girls (18 and 16) used cars when they got their licenses. 2002 and 2003 basic sedans. Nothing fancy. Lots of "could fix" issues. But we only fund and fix the critical repairs. We pay insurance. They pay for any and all gas. If they get a ticket (older DD has had 2 parking violations)...

    If your not a Facebook person , why ?

    I consider myself a private person, but I made an account, more than 10 years ago when I tried to find some information "only available on Facebook" Suddenly I was getting "friend requests" right and left from people I considered acquaintances and I was not close enough or comfortable enough...

    Does a late Easter impact spring break season crowds at all?

    Our Spring Break is the first week of April this year. We will be in WDW. Daughter and i went last year the first week of April and crowds were not bad at all. This year, the same week is predicted to have a lot heavier crowds. I'm hoping it's more like last year, because that was a pleasant...

    Non-Pandora EMH at Animal Kingdom?

    We are planning a family spring break trip, and we have fast passes to Navi River Journey at 10:15 on one of our Animal Kingdom days, which is an early EMH day. We love to get to the parks at rope drop and enjoy the quietest time before the crowds. However, the initial rope drop stampede has...
