    What would you do? (Fun stuff)

    Depending on where you're flying from, $6k isn't enough for Hawaii. Personally, I'd go to Disneyland, stay at the Disneyland Hotel or Grand Californian in a club level room. Get 5 day park hoppers. go to the spa. Maybe do a day at Universal Studios. Go do the Warner Bros studio tour. Go to...

    Decorating question: Flowerpot

    No pot. The pots you showed are too small. If you want one in that location, needs to be bigger for more dramatic effect. Preferably not white. Plant any flowers other than white.

    Does anyone else deal with this?

    Some 'canned' answers that one could use when answering the question of "Why are you going THERE...again?": Because we love it there! Because every trip there involves some kind of new adventure or experience. Have you ever been on their behind-the-scenes rhino tour at Animal Kingdom? Did you...

    Convention Center hotels to Disneyland

    Stayed at the Hilton once and let me tell you, after a full day of walking 10 miles in the parks, the walk back there at the end of the night felt like a death march.

    Class of 2024!!!

    ODD has decided to say no to the 4 public universities she got into. They're all affordable, but after visiting the 3 smaller private colleges in person over the past couple of months, she's now decided that the public U's are too large. Plus, we have learned recently that ALL of them have a...

    Should I force my kids to go to Disney?

    So, for example, a compromise could be you go to Orlando but spend part of the time at Disney parks, part of the time at Universal. And don't require them to be with you 100% of the time. Give them some free time to go explore on their own. Respect the fact that they probably need some down...

    Should I force my kids to go to Disney?

    You can be right or you can be happy. If you want to be right, then force them to go on the next Disney trip. You'll all be miserable. If you want to be happy, figure out a compromise. That compromise might mean going on a NON-Disney trip somewhere. Ask them where THEY want to go, what do...

    RIP Carl Weathers

    So sad. But he lived a long and fruitful life. 76 is a good long life. He was so great in Happy Gilmore. And in one of the Disney+ documentary episodes about the making of The Mandalorian, he described in an interview about how much he felt like the entire crew of The Mandalorian was a...

    Parents of teens...is vaping common in your community? (Inspired by pot thread)

    At my kids' small charter school, it isn't a problem but it is at a lot of other schools in the area. My kids find smoking & vaping to be "totally disgusting" (their words, not mine) and none of their friends do it.
