    Don't bring ammunition to Turks & Caicos

    From the newsarticle in the opening post: State Department: "In a foreign country, U.S. citizens are subject to that country's laws, even if they differ from those in the United States." I've got the feeling this message is aimed at the tourists who go to India and then complain Indian food is...

    Brown recluse spider in room?

    It's a myth, but they used to say you are always within 3 feet of a spider. Personally, I would use a shoe or a book.

    An Expensive Spider

    I see your expensive spider story, but I´ll raise you with Jenny Nicholson's quest for Aragog. And as a bonus, I'm throwing in her spider reviews.

    What's your favourite Disney memory?

    One is when in Disneyland Paris they had had a fire in Auberge de Cendrillon (where they have the princess dinners). We walked by and the door was open when it was normally closed. We walked in, discovered about the fire. So no meals were served, but the people with reservations could come in...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I think that the percentage that will not come back or not come back for the coming years will be very small. Yes, there will be people who stop going to Disney because of this change. But I think a large chunk will adapt, either by using Genie+, spread their activities/more breaks, or the...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    I think there is only a handful of people who are on the right platforms to see the rumors. The majority of people will only look into the rules when they are planning a trip. I am not hanging out in this section of DISboards often. It is that I am going to DL next month that I was looking for...

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    Not the same as a restaurant on a cruiseship. The wedding is the destination, Palo is not the destination.

    Shows on the Magic?

    It is alright. I wouldn't call it good. As a story it has some issues, as in all Cinderella's problems are solved within a minute. And I always get annoyed Jaq is played like an idiot for laughs. He was the smart one in the movie! It is a fun hour, but I do think they could have done something...

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    Not liking to wear formal clothes on a vacation is not laziness. Some people prefer to travel light, and/or have extra space in their suitcases for souvenirs. Someone wearing shorts to Palo is not affecting others. And if it does affect you... well, let's not get into that. If they enforced...

    How hot is it on the ship in Alaska?

    Really depends on the outside temperatuur. We had a great start last year, leaving Vancouver with tempartures in the high 80s/low 90s. On the top deck forward, behind the glass, it was absolutely perfect. Sunshine and no wind. This was the first cruise of the season, mid May. I didn't feel the...

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    Well, the dresscode at V&A is this: Guests are expected to dress accordingly in semi-formal/formal attire that respects the restaurant’s elegant and opulent aesthetic. If we look at the British Empire during the time of Queen Victoria, it did include a lot of cultures, so they all respect the...

    Single parents

    If you have indeed a sensible, responsible 10 year old, why not just discuss it with him? Talk to him about that you want to try this thing but it would mean that he has to stay at the club. What are his ideas about leaving you alone for a while? Don't make many assumptions, a conversation can...

    Who Pays? A Going Out To Dinner Question….

    @slo will you let us know the outcome? I was thinking what would happen if I had this scenario, if I were the daughter in my 20s, most likely my father would find a moment with the dad without me seeing it to discuss who would pay. I am quite sure he would offer it, but not insist if the dad...

    DAS

    I'm using ExpressVPN now, and I think I used NordVPN in 2022.

    DAS

    Yes, with a VPN still works. I used it in 2022 and last week. Disney tells you shouldn't use a VPN, but they can't forbid it.

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    I wouldn't call dresscodes racist on D.CL. When you look at dresscodes being racist, it is usually about hairstyles. Or dresscodes are sexist, which is usually about girls not being allowed to wear pants with their school uniform. On D.CL the dresscode is very loose and open for interpretation...

    Can you mourn a tree?

    Women who reported having been pregnant looked biologically older than women who had never, and women who had been pregnant more often looked ...older

    Yeah, makes sense, creating a child and giving birth takes a huge toll on your body. If you do it a couple of times, not surprised you look older than those who did not.

    Mother’s Day project at church

    "What I have learned from my mother. Life lessons and practical things", like "be a good listener, and don't cook your vegetables longer than 15 minutes". You will see similarities and differences between age groups. One thing to keep in mind: the women within your community who wanted to...

    DAS changes coming WDW May 20/ DL June 18, 2024

    Hey Andy, I tried to send you a private message, but as you are a new DIS member, this option is not available yet. It totally sucks that they do not give the DAS options on the international websites. (And to have uneducated CMs who try to tell you to do it anyways). And it sucks even more...
