    from 0% to 100% how ideal is your current home?

    I love our house, but I'd say it's 75% ideal. It's an old stone farmhouse built in 1854. The kitchen is very small. The rooms are broken up. It's long (wide) and mostly one room deep. It's really too big for us. We don't use all of the rooms (they are all furnished). It does have a great...

    Ohana vs Hoop-de-doo

    HDD - no contest. It's been around since the 1970s. That's what a hoot it is!

    Some suggestions for chilling at WDW please (-:

    Archery or a trail ride at Ft. Wilderness is something different to do. Touring resorts, walking around DS, enjoying some resort activities, a tour (we did the Caring for Giants and loved it)...lots of other things to do besides attractions.

    What is something that has changed in your lifetime that you personally refuse to change?

    I'm really not into social media. I don't want to spend time telling others what's going on in my life. If they are my friends/family, they already know. I don't understand how people have hundreds/thousands of "friends" on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok etc. I have a few close friends who know...

    3 year old developmental concerns. Please Advise

    Obviously I can't diagnose your son, but I can share my experiences with DD21. DD21 is adopted from foster care. She came to us at 2yo. When she joined our family she was not talking. She said her first words with us. She was a toe walker. Her speech was unclear, though I could understand her...

    Redoing a disappointing character interaction?

    Was the character's lack of reaction consistent with the character's personality? Was the character an animal (like Pluto or even Chewbacca - might not react to clothing)? Perhaps the character sees many outfits resembling theirs and didn't react because they see it every day? I feel like the...

    Rideshare waits at MCO

    We use Tiffany Towncar for transportation to/from MCO. Always there waiting and never any issues. They also do a supermarket stop if you want. We order groceries ahead of time and pick them up.

    Boat from Contemporary Resort to Epcot Resorts

    There's always the Uber/Lyft/Minnie Van option. What I like about this option is that you can get dropped of at Beach Club and enter EP through the International Gateway. So if you have dinner at Rose and Crown, for example, you have a short walk from the entrance to the restaurant.

    Solo Park/Resort Day

    I'd probably challenge myself to visit all 4 parks. Not necessarily ride any attractions, but walk around/sightsee/soak up the atmosphere. If I had to narrow it down, I'd visit EP (my favorite park) and AK. AK isn't a must do park for me, but I would enjoy getting to explore areas we usually...

    Gender Reveal parties

    I feel like "gender" reveal parties are trendy and will go away at some point, especially with the upcoming generation of mothers. This thread reminded me that I didn't have a shower for either of my children. We adopted our girls from foster care (we were their foster parents for about a year...

    The Official DIS Oscars LIVE Watch Party Thread!!! TONITE!

    I haven't read the whole thread, but what was up with Michelle Yeoh's tag on her dress? I saw her on the red carpet and thought maybe that was a mistake (that part of her dress had flopped over), but then I waited to see her present and the tag was still there with that piece folded over. I...

    do you have something to eat first or something to drink first in the morning?

    Literally can't do anything until I've had two cups of our delicious La Colombe coffee!

    Pretzel bread still at Le Cellier?

    There's nothing better than pretzel bread and cheddar cheese soup! It's my go-to at Le Cellier.

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/6 poll - Phone Tracking 📲

    I don't use tracking to keep tabs on anyone. I was glad I had it when there was a medical emergency and I needed to find someone who didn't know where they were. Without that I would not have been able to find them. So, I use it for emergencies, but since you never know when there will be an...

    How much autonomy should an 18 year old home from college have?

    I have a DD21, so I know where you are right now. It's tough. Our DD21 moved out permanently when she was 20. We purchased a small bungalow 5 minutes from her school as an investment and for her to live in while in college (she's doing a 5 year master's program). She took a gap year, so she...

    Are Grand Villas easier or more difficult to get at 7 month mark?

    We got a savanna view room, but I don't remember the number. I do remember that we were not pleased with the room when we checked in. We booked savanna view, but the view we received was a mere sliver of the savanna (so little that I couldn't believe it qualified as savanna view). I complained...
