That's right, we're about to mix things up a bit! When our huge 2-week Bucket List luxury resort WDW vacation planned for Sept 2020 was cancelled (read about that planned trip here) just a couple months before going, thanks to COVID-19, my friends and I have been languishing, wondering when--and...

October 13, 2021 A short story even shorter (you can read more at the end of my previous trip blog here about how it came to be), I've been invited to fill in the suddenly vacant fourth slot of a quartet (two are friends, the third is the adult daughter of one of them) for an Orlando week-long...

Wednesday, October 13th It feels like forever since the last time I wrote a blog update. It feels like a lifetime since the heartbreak I felt when we had to cancel that Bucket List WDW trip we were so tantalizingly close to achieving. A lot of things have happened since then, a mix of good and...

We're into June now, and my Disney friends and I are having to make a painful decision. We had a long Skype call this past Sunday about the current events regarding both in the Disney parks and conditions in the USA in general, and it just doesn't make sense to proceed with this booking. There...

Thursday, March 19th It’s both a happy and a sad time. We finally reached our 180-day Advanced Dining Reservation window this past week! But we also saw the announcements of all of the rest of the Disney properties closing indefinitely due to reasonable fears concerning the Coronavirus...

Thanks for the kind thoughts. It's hard enough dealing with aging parents, but made even worse by living 1,000 miles away and feeling helpless most of the time. Although my degree was in history, I work for one of the Big Four accounting/consulting firms as a lead federal pursuit specialist...

Now that life has calmed down a little bit, I thought this would be a good time to update here. There hasn't really been any developments regarding WDW plans since we're still so far out. I'm currently at 272 days out from flying to Orlando. My UK friends have passed a few milestones, however...

Does anyone know yet if Space 220 will 1 or 2 table credits (if in the meal plan at all)? According to the official site, it says it's not participating, but since it's not open, I'm unsure if this is just a place holder or if it will be excluded.

Thanks for the kinds words. And yes, I did have the reduction/sleeve surgery back around 2009. Even 10 years later it impacts how I eat, and particularly what I order when I go out. It's a challenge because I have to make decisions like "Can I eat this in one sitting?" and "Are leftovers a good...

This is excellent, thank you! I've been using Excel as well but it's a bit more loosely set up. I like your idea that allows the room to expand in both directions more easily. This is what I currently have but I may just add a new tab to give yours a try.

So your only issue is that the women scored too many goals...? Okay then. :rolleyes1

These are your words: "I'm guessing here, but if they would have won the first game 3-0, or even 5-0, there wouldn't have been any complaints over the celebrations. The 13-0 rubbed a lot of people the wrong way to start. Then they looked at the continued celebration at 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13...

I wasn't responding to whether or not you were sexist. I was responding to your comment that people don't celebrate as much in other sports when scores are uneven. In my experience, it's the opposite--the more they smell blood, the wilder it gets because it reduces the likelihood of losing...

Have you never been to a baseball game? Every home run is wildly celebrated, and the higher the score difference, the crazier it gets--I just witnessed this a month ago and it wasn't even a major elimination game. But that final score was something like 7-1. That's high by baseball standards...

Hesitant to jump in here, but I would like to point out that if someone is criticizing the women's team for the same behavior that men's teams display without criticism, then it IS sexist because it's expecting different behaviors purely because they're women. Just wanted that clarified. I...

Thanks, I didn't even think of that since so many of these stations want to charge per episode on demand. It's a bit spotty but I've found a few.

Yes, I'll admit that I'm late to the party, but I'm on the bandwagon now. Most of my life I've been a strong Green Bay Packers fan (and still am to some extent), however, the last couple of years of watching the NFL stumble and mishandle one scandal to the next (domestic violence, misogyny, the...

Yes, my guilty pleasure. I'd never heard of it until this past Christmas when friends were talking and laughing about it and it was clear that I was missing out on something incredibly funny and stupid. I typically avoid reality shows but I've made an exception. And now I'm hooked on all of...

I went there for lunch on my 2017 solo trip. It was kooky and I enjoyed the footage on the screen, but it's not a good place for easy conversation because of seating and darkness and all the rest. Food-wise, I just ordered the wings in BBQ sauce and while they tasted okay, they were SWIMMING in...
