    Tips for going through airport security with an 8 month old.

    We never had any problems with formula or breast milk, but juice boxes are another story. Some airports let us right through, other airports made us dump it. Be prepared to unload the stroller and run the car seat through the x-ray machine. You don't have to go through the nudie scanners, so...

    Would you go on a game show?

    Does Amazing Race count? I've always wanted to do that. I think I'd do well with DD in college as my teammate. DD10 is a little young and I may be too old once she is old enough, but she loves the show as much as I do, so maybe...

    Which moderate?

    I prefer POR. IMHO, the pool there is the best on property outside of BCV and it's just so pleasant. The multiple bus stops is NBD. Of the ones you listed I'd pick POFQ, but you are correct - the pool is not the best.

    I must be crazy……AUGUST?!?!

    <knock wood> WDW has never taken a direct hit from a hurricane and the weather the day after the storm is amazing. I would never let a hurricane cancel my WDW trip. YMMV...

    I must be crazy……AUGUST?!?!

    Regular summer travelers here. I dunno - I kinda like it. What's Florida without Florida weather? The key is pace - take it slow, don't let the heat get ahead of you. Carry lots of water. I wear a Camelbak and drain it every day, sometimes twice. Bring umbrellas, forget ponchos. An...

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    It starts at $70 - they give you a return ticket with the time you would have waited. Their version of DAS works the same way. It goes up to $170 if you want to just skip the line - any line, all day. It works because almost no one uses it. Sure, people are skipping lines, but it doesn't...

    Fox rental car experiences?

    Autoslash continues to be my best way to save money. If you plan far enough ahead it usually saves us >$100 on a week-long rental - sometimes a lot more than that. Costco is also good, but we've found Autoslash is even better.

    Did anybody watch Billy Joel's concert special on CBS today?

    This thread is proof positive that only the good die young.

    Fox rental car experiences?

    It's been a long while but we used Fox once and only once, in CA. They tried to upcharge us for everything (admittedly, not unique to them) and then tried to charge us for cleaning when they alleged we had a dog in the car (we did not - dog was back at home, we were on vacation). That was...

    slo’s MONDAY 4/15 poll - Oceans 🌊

    Love oceans, the wilder the better. Just got back from a short trip to the Oregon coastline (stayed in Cannon Beach). DD was freaked out by the Tsunami warning signs they put on the beach there. They have them in So Cal too but you rarely see them. They are everywhere in Coastal Oregon.

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    Setting a really high price to skip lines is exactly what 6-Flags/Cedarfair did - and it works WAY better.

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    Did you watch the video? She did. She's also waited in a nearly stationary Frozen standby line. It sucks and it's not supposed to be that bad. We also went in 2021, about a month before G+ started. "Before" was better. Of very important note; the FP (now G+) system is patterned off of the...

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    I watched this with DD10 last night - yes, the entire thing. Her take-away - why not just remove the whole thing and just have people wait in line like we did in 2020? A couple of notes; He has updated the video to address G+, but this was pre-implementation. My observation is G+ has made the...

    Do you own the above thing or not?

    Dozens - it seems like we buy a deck every time we take a trip. We just forget to pack one. DO you own a working VHS?

    OJ Simpson Died

    Who knew Kato Kaelin would end up being the voice of reason? Such a class act, from someone who truly got caught in the middle of the circus;

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    Lots of differences actually. I wasn't skipping any lines, the Passport was one fixed price, not ala carte, and the only reason the sales were restricted is it was a pilot program to see how well it worked and if people liked it better than the ticket books. They pretty quickly opened up sales...

    Reading Challenge/Goals for 2024

    I've been doing a lot of travelling this years so absolutely crushing my reading goal. I am now up to 9/20. Books 4-9; 4 - Verity - Colleen Hoover. It's a little far-fetched but a good read, 4/5 5 - I'm Glad My Mom Died - Jennette McCurdy, 5/5. Be sure and pair this one with a viewing of the...

    DAS Outrage vs Genie Plus Outrage?

    What gets lost in the nostalgia of ticket books is just how much people hated ticket books at the time. You ended the day with a bunch of worthless A tickets (the Main Street vehicles that close 1/2 way through the day) or riding a bunch of B and C attractions you have no interest in while your...

    Looking for Non-Standard Things to do in WDW?

    Can recommend the scavenger hunt in EPCOT. We did the Ratatouille and the one with the bee. Both have revealed parts of EPCOT we had never seen before.
