Sorry about your frustration with your FPs....I think many of us have experienced the results of the IT cutbacks over the last couple of years, and it's just not pretty. Seems to me, when they know that SOMETHING big is going to be announced, that the system would be modified to meet the demands. But experience has shown that not to be true. Remember the FREE DINING fiasco last summer and fall? OY!!
Thanks for your tips about shoes. They may really help some folks...but my "knee problems" are that I have no cushion left in my right knee - bone on arthritic bone. So it's only a matter of time until going under the knife. I have found that wearing shoes with good support really does help, tho. Between that and Advil, and the occasional injections, I'm doing pretty good. I just will never be entering any of the RUN DISNEY events!
