Sounds like a great plan.
Sometimes no plan is the best plan. I wish there was more opportunity at Disney World to go with no plan.
Just so you know there is no age limit on the DCP. You just need to be a registered student at any college and have completed 1 semester. Of course the pay for DCP is a whole lot less than we make as adults and you would have to leave the family behind.
True... and already having my degree, not only would I make less as a CP, but it would cost me a lot of money to go back to school.
Are you living in Indiana? The reason I ask is DD's boyfriend is doing an internship at Bayer at the seed plant. He's living at Purdue and not enjoying all the snow.
Yes. I'm southeast of Indianapolis. About an hour and 45 minute drive from Purdue's campus. I tell ya... he wouldn't know what to do with himself if we were actually having a REAL winter. This one has been excessively mild without a lot of snow. I realize they've had a bit more up that way, but we've only had 1 good ground cover here all winter and it was the week before Christmas. That said, around West Lafayette, the land is relatively flat without many windbreaks. When I was in school it always felt colder on campus than it would feel at home just because it seems there's always a breeze that just cuts through you.
I wanted to find this playground in December for JP but never did thanks to all the construction.
Yeah, I figured once walls went up it was either going to be hard/impossible to get to or just gone.
I read another review on a report that had the same issue. Slow service and waiting for bill.
That's disappointing. It still wasn't just horrible though, just a frustration. Nothing to keep me from going back.
Love this plan! I've even napped in here.
The CMs will also let you take a sleeping child in a stroller in restaurants. I think it's a nice touch. Sorry it messed with your snack plans.
True. I think we've done that before too.
Thanks!
Good family photo. I'm guessing R had a red kokigori?
I'm thinking that it was tangerine, but I don't remember. But yeah, either red or a dark orange.
I've had both these meal and enjoyed them. They're great for when you get tired of burgers, pizza and nuggets.
Definitely a nice change of pace.
This is a family friendly board.
OK, just got through the first update when I realized there is a second one. I need to get Fran up from her nap on to Trader Sam's so I'll finish my comments here and then be back.
Well, Trader Sam's definitely takes priority over reading my TR.
Not having kids we've never taken advantage of Rider Swap, but you guys seem to have it down to a science!
Sometimes... that's the beauty of these boards and TRs. You can learn from others and go in actually having an idea of what you need to do to make things work. That's how I figured out the RS system!
With a big family I can totally see that, but even with two of us, it's a good deal as well, we order an appetizer and a pasta and come out stuffed for only a little money.
Absolutely!
Best plans thwarted......
Sometimes we just have to take one for the team...
That was nice of her, but I'd rather be lurking in the back with an adult beverage.
I can't really argue that point. I mean I was far enough back that there wasn't much of a view anyway, and if I was across the walkway getting a drink, I could still hear.
Oh no!
Or two.....
Oh wait, that's me!
To be fair, that was her second.
ve started carrying metal straws in my purse, and in the cars. I just can't stand those paper straws and they're serving them everywhere in California even Fast Food places.
We've got some metal straws at home that we use with tumblers. We considered taking them, but didn't want to have to keep track of them. DW also doesn't like using them very much. She said next trip, we're buying a package of disposable plastic straws to put in the park bag.
That's great when you can get them something that they really like and use, even possibly cherish.
Funny I was touring the park yesterday with a guy, who is definitely a curmudgeon (self admittedly), I'm sure @Captain_Oblivious can attest to his curmudgeon status, and he is perhaps a few years older than you, as he remembers the opening of Epcot. As we walked around the torn up park he wanted to cry. Eventually he had to admit he had not gotten past anger and moved on to sadness at the removal of the innoventions buildings and so many other memories from youth that park held for him.
I tell you, I feel a little bit sad about all of it... I was never upset or angry. I realize the park needs some love and I've never really been opposed to an overhaul in EPCOT. But I also know that with the level of change that is going to happen, this park is just going to feel and look different. That might be a good thing, but there are a lot of memories that are being torn down.
Yes, even for me whose first visit was over 10 years after the park opened, I loved the fountain. I can't imagine what they could put in that would be better.
I really wish this could stay. I just feel like it was a big part of the park's story, and I love what it represented with the water from all over the world being poured into the fountain. I can get over the Communicore/Innoventions buildings being torn down, but this one really hurts.
I think it might be too early to make comparisons. With different families, all of the challenges he's been through, boy vs. girl, etc... hard to be sure if there is a true deficit.
True
See above... ^
But the passive aggressive digs aren't appropriate.
And that's why I've taken the high road and avoided pointing out her past transgressions and asking if that's why she's such a helicopter parent.
Super happy to hear this!
Thanks!
Sometimes that is the very best way to tour. And I think EPCOT, especially WS is the best place to do this.
Anymore, the WS is about the only place that it feels you can really go in without at least a basic plan. Sometimes MK, but that can be hit or miss.
Oh that's cool!! Love those connections!
It's weird that Mousegears is gone, but that the playground is still there.
Is it really? Mouse Gears was still open when we were there.
@vamassey1 mentioned not being able to find it in December. I do like the play area though, so hopefully they will keep it open or put something similar in its place.
Nice! Really glad that worked out!
We really had good luck doing that.
I do what I can.
Hugely important with compromised health. I saw far too many tourists down on my last trip.
He is pretty good about knowing his limits, and truthfully, he's good about taking advantage of those opportunities whenever they present themselves... like if someone goes into a store, or stops to get a snack, or whatever... instead of standing around waiting he's finding a cool spot to sit for a few minutes. He's so good at being proactive about it that I can't think of a time it's ever really slowed us down in the parks at all.
Perfect!! I love souvenirs that I can actually USE.
Yes, for sure! I still hope they replace A fountain.
Me too! I'm going to miss it a lot.
