    LUSH Cosmetics

    lol! Wow... a lot of responses. Sorry, I was just having our IT department fix my laptop. Responding to message boards on the phone can be the pits... Thanks for all the helpful advice. I'm taking the majority view and just going to the Lush store next Wednesday morning. All I want is a bar of...

    LUSH Cosmetics

    Thanks! I have amazon prime, that’s why I’m looking there. I was hoping I was just missing the proper search parameters. The words LUSH and SOAP gives you a wide range of products from varying sources. Cosmetics are a little out of my league. I know the King of Prussia mall has a shop. If...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    That sounds like a fantastic trip! I’m sure once you get there and start touring, you won’t feel so uncomfortable and sharing pics and videos via text is a great way to feel connected and share the experience. I did a lot of texting and sending pictures to friends that are into park touring...

    LUSH Cosmetics

    Hello! I'm trying to avoid going to the mall this Christmas season, but I cannot find any LUSH soaps or lower priced gift sets on Amazon. I'm really not good at the whole cosmetics thing, but I'd like to give a gift of the soap, or a small set. Can someone recommend something similar available...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    OMG... yes, it makes crowd navigation so easy. And, now that the kids are older and have more free reign, you don't have to wander around an extra 10 minutes looking for them before you move on. Can't we just fit people with restraining bolts and use an app to give them a zap when we want to...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    I don't think you can over-kill the subject. Looking through a few posts on traveling solo, I see a lot of people concerned about traveling solo. Self-esteem, anxiety, paranoia and overly self-conscious are part of many peoples personality. It pays to remember and repeat the mantra whenever you...

    UO solo trip - Cabana Bay - UO 11/27-30

    Next time... I am dying to get back. I keep seeing my UOAP in my wallet, I could walk into the parks when ever I want. Why are they 900 miles away?

    UO solo trip - Cabana Bay - UO 11/27-30

    I did set my own pace and it was fast, lol. I checked my health app and it said I did about 10 miles of walking everyday. Of course my phone died at least once everyday. Unfortunately, it was such a short trip, I did live by the clock. I did focus on the minutes, which was not what I wanted to...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    It does need to be repeated. A lot of us anxiety, socially awkward people feel like we are such outcasts that everyone is criticizing our every move. We do need to remember, no one is paying any attention to us, and, as you said, they are focused on their own moments.

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    It's a lot of fun being able to do ANYTHING you want! It will be nice to have family you can visit, if you feel the need to socialize with people you know. I think my anxiety was before the trip and was related to, am I going to enjoy myself going alone? Will I be bored, since I'll have none of...

    UO solo trip - Cabana Bay - UO 11/27-30

    Thanks all! I like the tip on the hoodie. It was good weather for one of those. I can't imagine that in summer. While off-loading I was trying to brainstorm ideas on what could be done to minimize that. The Hulk is one of my favorite rides. I do miss hearing Banner exclaiming "...I think this...

    UO solo trip - Cabana Bay - UO 11/27-30

    Hello all! While I really want to leave a trip report. I find I can't edit myself well enough to post something of reasonable length. I always want to include way too much detail... So, I'm trying to find a happy medium. Anyway.... I had a great solo trip the last week of November. My first...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    That was the one thing I made sure to do, take a pic of the parking spot! I always assume I would remember the locker number. I'd look at it, read it and then promptly forget it, since I was overly stimulated going on the ride. I blame it on my inner 8 year old.

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    Thank you! I’m glad you found that advice useful darlaya. I saw a few postings of others that had some anxiety about going alone. I know I have anxiety issues and I had to give myself that reminder a few times. If you have the opportunity, finances and reason to convert to an AP, I don’t...

    What it's actually like taking a solo trip

    I just got back from my first solo trip... after going with family and spouses for years, this was my first time alone. I imagine many solo travelers have all had day dreams about how you would tackle a solo trip, while mired in the chaos of a family trip. Here's my list of the POSITIVE...

    When are you Going? Post Your Dates and Find A Match!!! Things to do! Peeps to Meet!

    Hi all! Going on my first solo trip tomorrow, 11/28-11/30. I’ll be on Universal property though, so not sure if this is the appropriate place for this listing. My plans, staying at the cabana bay and hitting the parks for 3 days. If anyone else is there solo and wants to pal around, feel free...

    Tickets now or later?

    Thanks Robo. Unfortunately, these tickets are from 2006 and can't be added to MYDE. We have to hit up Guest Services as soon as we get to the hotel. Since the ticket prices are the same on-site, we may as well wait until we get there. Doesn't seem like there will be any advantage to buying...

    Tickets now or later?

    DW and I both have 2 unused WDW days from 2006. We purchased the non-expiration option at the end of our trip and put the tickets aside in-case of an emergency. Well, the time has come to break the glass and pull the lever! We have tickets and can't utilize FP until we get them put onto our...

    What Will Be Served At Star Wars Breakfast?

    Agreed. We rarely do a breakfast. I love breakfast! But, Chef Mickeys is one credit and a fantastic experience. We did the Ohana (sp?) last trip and have it booked for the next day (will cancel if we stick with SW. We only do 1 breakfast per trip, since that is not enough to fulfill our food...

    What Will Be Served At Star Wars Breakfast?

    A cocktail, for breakfast??? lol! Our ressie is at 10:30, so our sanity levels will be normal. It's morning and we are on vacation. The dinner SW package is off the table. It's not 'real' SW characters. If it's a good meal, close to par with other 2 credit signature dining exp's, I...
