I have an only child. My daughter is now 20 and in college. With regards to her personality, she was definitely not as you put it socially independent. She had a perfectionist streak where she would identify the best individual traits/strengths of her peers and think she was deficient because...

I have my appt on Saturday. I was only planning on taking my Passport and DL, which both have my married name. The website said I only needed the passport as it represents both my citizenship and photo ID. Is there any reason I need my BC? Heck, I'm not even sure I know where my marriage license is.

I read the thread regularly, but realized I haven’t posted since last spring. With DD’s university on the quarter system, she’s only been home about 10 days now. She and boyfriend (dating since October) drove 15 hours straight from CO to central Texas. He stayed a few days to see the sights (San...

It was mentioned by a PP, avoid winter flights. DD's boyfriend was caught in this fiasco this past December. Their flight schedules are set up like a house of cards. It took almost a week to get his luggage back from a flight he was never able to take...

Haven't posted in a while. DD was accepted to all the schools she applied (4 total), but none were much of a stretch. She's decided on her 1st choice (private, out of state). She was offered a nice scholarship, small grant and work study, however, it still puts the OOP about $5k/year more than...

DD went on an out of state band trip last year and I was worried about her carrying cash, so I made her an authorized user on one of my credit cards that had a small limit. She's the only one that uses that card, so I can easily keep track of her spending. She's a responsible kid and we set...

While it may have been an honest mistake, the time it took to resolve it is not acceptable. Time has value. If you only had to make one phone call and explain you're situation, then, I'd agree with others and say the price difference is fair compensation. However, getting bounced from person to...

We cruised 6/28-7/5 and we got ours in the mail yesterday. You'll probabaly get yours soon.

I was at WDW just over a month ago and used an EVC rented from an offsite vendor. Luckily, we're only a family of 3. I understand and agree with the loading/unloading rules. However, personally, I hated the thought of passing up a long line of hot and tired people. It just didn't feel fair to...

Another consideration. What if your flight is delayed? I originally scheduled dinner at Boma for our arrival day, then a few weeks before departure, I cancelled because we decided we wanted to go straight to the parks. Our flight ended up delayed by 6 hours!! We were supposed to land at 4pm...

Yes, I think you'll be fine.

Happened to us at Disneyland. DD took some photos, but none were as good as this one. The ride stopped near the end. The CMs climbed up to us and literally pushed the car to give it enough momentum to make the last few turns. It was actually quite cool.

Unfortunately, not even close for me. Don't want to spoil things for you, but if I were you, I wouldn't wait the 2 hours. If you had a FP, then I'd say give it a try because they would at least make good on the FP.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. I didn't fit, and it was quite upsetting. I had somewhat prepared myself as I'd read the various posts about it not being size friendly. I've never had any problems on any other ride at WDW. I tried to put on a brave face for DD and DH, but I'll admit to some...

I did this for both Space Mtn and Expedition Everest. I didn't feel like riding, so I gave my MB to DD16 for a 2nd ride. However, my ticket was active as I was in the same park.

We just got back as first time cruisers on the Fantasy (Eastern), and booked this one while on board. Very much looking forward to driving to port instead of flying. The kiddo wanted to make sure we got a sail date before her 18th birthday as she LOVED Vibe on the Fantasy. Very excited!

She takes a fatty acid supplement every day and she's on a maintenance dose of Atopica, which is an immunosuppressant. I think with the rain we've been having, the pollens have multiplied, thus the allergies have flared. We need to have her allergy tested, and that's the plan when we get back...

I've been in your shoes. My birthday is near Christmas, during the time that everyone is busy with shopping and holiday parties. In my childhood, on more than one occasion my birthday present was picked from the wrapped presents under the tree. Some years are worse than others. My 40th was...

It seems it happens to most of us. The kid/spouse gets sick, an appliance/car decides to fall apart, the weather takes a turn...something to make the already stressful planning/packing phase just a little more crazy. Here's mine. We leave on Saturday. A week at WDW and then on the Fantasy we...

Arriving Saturday and staying at AKL. Got the email this past weekend and we're going give it a try.
