    Love my Disney Visa

    That's great! I used to save them up for souvenir money for DD. She loved it. Sadly, we have not been on a trip since 2019, but my points keep accumulating. I used a bunch on Christmas presents from the Disney Store online. She loved that, as well.

    May weather and crowds?

    All of our trips have been in May and I consider it warm to hot. I'm from the midwest and Florida humidity was high every trip. As I recall, overnight may have been 75 degrees while daytime highs were low to mid 90's. I felt like it never really cooled off overnight, like I'm used to. I...

    Why so crowded?

    Wow! How long are your days? I'd be thrilled to get 9 rides into a day, but my days are only around 8 hours and I'm pooped. I am very hesitant to plan any more trips fearing that we would only get on 3 rides a day and that is definitely not worth it.

    Why so crowded?

    Yes, I was going to say that I keep seeing 50th anniversary ads on regular TV. I've only been watching old fashioned TV to get the weather forecast and school closings because our weather has been crazy lately. Anyway, seems like there is always a WDW ad every time I turn it on.

    Which resort is a never or never again for you?

    This is such an interesting thread! I have only stayed at POR and POP for park vacations and AOA, ASMo and AS(sports) for extra, non-park days. I wanted to try them out in case they worked for full vacations in the future. So, that's what I have to go by. The deluxe resorts are simply out of my...

    Wearing PJs to Walmart

    I would not personally wear pajamas out of the house, but as long as the other Walmart shoppers are clean and covered, I don't really care. I wear summer nighties all winter long, so people would definitely think I had wandered away from the nursing home if I were pushing a cart in my nightie...

    Spinoff of "beaters": How OLD was the 1st car you owned?

    I bought my 1989 VW Jetta in Dec of 1989. Someone had owned it for 9 months and traded it in for something else. I kept it for 18 years.

    Disney's ALL-STAR MOVIES RESORT Information & Questions

    I can't say for sure, but I played on the Touring Plans Room Finder tool and it doesn't look like it. It looks like Toy Story, Fantasia and Dalmations are preferred for the whole buildings and Mighty Ducks and Love Bug are non-preferred for the whole buildings. Maybe someone else will come along...

    Volunteering

    It's good to hear things may be getting better. I was going to say that maybe this woman works with animals because she has no people skills. It sounds like that may be the case.

    That moment when you need to show a host how wrong they are!

    I wouldn't rank the movie very high in my list of favorites, but I don't tend to put on my movie critic hat on, rather just watch for enjoyment. DD15 watched it first and was sobbing and kept pausing to tell me how meaningful the movie was to her. She identified with Mirabel being the non-gifted...

    Just a Pinch.. Post for the women here

    As others have said, not all hysterectomies are created equal. A coworker had one of those quick recovery situations, but hers was able to be done laparoscopically. Mine was open from belly button to pubic bone with EVERYTHING removed, including my appendix and hours scraping endometrial tissue...

    Embarrassing mri stories update on mine

    No embarrassing stories from me, but I'm glad my MRI days are over. Mine were of my abdomen, so I had to be in the tube all the way. I learned the first time to close my eyes before I went in and never, ever peak. I couldn't sleep, no that I would have, but I had to listen to the directions to...

    When do you fill up your gas tank?

    I have a very short commute, so in summer I wait until it's very low or when the low fuel light comes on. In winter, I won't go under 1/3 to 1/4 and I check the weather for the least nasty day to fill up. I also collect fuel rewards from my local grocery store, so if they email me to say my...

    slo’s SATURDAY poll - Corrective Lenses

    I have worn reading glasses since I got my first full-time job after college in order to avoid daily headaches. I got single vision reading glasses for distance when I was 25, but was able to pass my driving test without them for 20 years. I wore contacts for a few years in there, but found I...

    Have you ever had something go missing then turn up some time later?

    Yes. A favorite cross pendant that was a gift from my department when I left the company. I wore it all the time and one day when taking it off at my dresser, it fell to the floor. I looked for it for ages. Looked on, around, under, behind, with a flashlight, etc. We even moved the dresser from...

    Do you have an electric can opener?

    We had an electric one growing up, but I never saw it as a necessity when I got out on my own. My first house had a kitchen that was 9'x9' with two doors and one doorway. I had very little cabinet/counter space it just wasn't worth having something I used so rarely. 30 years later I still have a...
