    How long are people waiting for Magical Express?

    Waited in the longest DME line I’ve ever seen last Saturday 11/13 around 1 pm. Sign said 60 minutes. Was actually about 45 but that included a 10-minute delay due to someone near the front of the line getting injured and EMTs being called to take them away. (Hope they’re ok!) Wasn’t too bad a...

    To Go or Not To Go

    I'm so torn. I haven't been since November 2019. I've been jonesin' to go! This is the first time I've missed a year since I was 3 years old. Back in April my aunt and I booked a trip for the week before this coming Thanksgiving. (My sister and her partner are/were planning to possibly slide in...

    Ew, those look like *my house*! I go to Disney to ESCAPE the dirt! Seriously though that is horrible.

    OKW THUMBS DOWN

    I love OKW, it's my home resort, I've eaten at Olivia's for years, and I have to say, OP's experience with breakfast sadly reminds of me of my last experience there, a year and a half ago. They had one waitperson serving the entire restaurant and it took half an hour for her to even come take...

    Is there going to be a typical "Jersey week" for 2021?

    I just booked OKW Nov 13-19 but was surprised at the relative scarcity of other DVC options for that week. The last time I visited was the week before Thanksgiving in 2019 and it was lovely. I think things have changed between then and now... (This will now be two full years, the longest I've...

    Were you proud or embarrassed of your home growing up?

    Embarrassed. My parents rented their whole lives and my dad’s a hoarder and my mom was too exhausted from being the breadwinner and raising the children to do much housework so it was always a mess. We rarely had friends over and when we did I was ashamed. The apartments weren’t in slums or...

    Les Miserables: What movie is good?

    I came here to post this exact link. If you're looking for the songs and singing done at the quality of the original West End/Broadway stage versions, this is what you want to watch. I liked the 2012 movie, but the live singing was a very difference experience than it was on the stage. (Les Mis...

    Favorite meatless meals

    My husband and I are both meat-eaters but we love this recipe for vegetarian chili that uses bulgar wheat and liquid smoke instead of meat. Delicious.

    Driving NY/NJ area to WDW

    I can't drive so I have no advice, except that from my memories of taking this trip with my family as a kid, we would always stop at South of the Border. I recommend you do not stop at South of the Border. It is terrible. have a safe trip!

    The Dress Shop on Cherry Tree Lane

    I find both the size range and price utterly depressing, because I think this is gorgeous.

    Various news outlets reporting that a boat on Splash Mountain sank this morning.

    Yes, you can hear it in the video. Yes, it was brusque. I would’ve gotten our of the boat too, and clung to Brer Bear for dear life if need be! That water is filthy! (Actually, I wouldn’t have been there in the first place with the Covid situation in FL but that’s a different topic.)

    Face coverings: what's the coolest, least restrictive option?

    I’m wrong! I took a closer look tonight; it’s double layer.

    Face coverings: what's the coolest, least restrictive option?

    it’s a single layer- pretty thin. Used in combination with as much social distancing as possible!

    Face coverings: what's the coolest, least restrictive option?

    I’ve tried a few different ones and by far the most comfortable and cool are ones made from plain white cotton handkerchiefs with elastic ear bands sewn on them. My friend’s mom, who is a seamstress, made a couple for me and my husband back in March and they’re so much better than anything else...

    What We Miss When We Miss Disney World (article by Jodi Eichler-Levine)

    https://therevealer.org/what-we-miss-when-we-miss-disney-world/ Hi, I hope it's okay to share this link - a friend sent it to me today and it really moved me. Although the comparisons to Judaism are slightly over-the-top, the sentiment behind it is very real and gets at the heart of how I've...

    Feeling left out of close friend's wedding

    Do you come from a culture or country that attaches a stigma to mental health therapies? That’s rough. In most places in America, seeing a mental health therapist is no different than seeing a podiatrist, and being prescribed medication for mental health is no different than being prescribed...

    Where do the kids go?

    sounds like your job is just as stressful as your husband’s, and yet you’re expected to take on the bulk of the shopping and housework? Hunh.

    What restaurants won’t you go to again?

    Went to my beloved Olivia’s for brunch last Sunday and there was definitely something off. We were seated 20 minutes late despite the place being only half-full. Our server was friendly and warm but we had to wait half an hour for our appetizer and then almost 40 minutes for our entrees after...
