    Steve

    i also get the "good natured ribbing" vibe and steve seems to roll with it well. i remember when oliver was there, pete seemed a bit passive-aggressive with him and snappy a couple of times. and i do remember thinking "hmm, i am not sure that seems good natured". next thing you know, he was...

    Best resources to plan Disneyland Paris trip... any suggestions?

    Thank you for the info! We are going to arrive May 16 and leave May 23. No option to stay onsite as we have a hotel booked in Paris in the 9th A. I was thinking of Mon 20th or Tue 21st, to avoid weekend crowds. Just me and DD attending - she is 18. I poked around but couldn't find a DLP...

    Best resources to plan Disneyland Paris trip... any suggestions?

    I have only been to WDW once in 2014 - as much as I tried and tried to get back (as my signature below can attest). DD and I are heading to Paris for an unexpected trip next month and at first I thought "too much to see in Paris to do Disney". But then I thought... what are you...

    Is Memory Maker Worth It?

    yes, i ended up with tons of great photos with everyone in them. if i went back, i would do it again.

    Yes the Disney IS being lost...

    i prefer the more subtle theming. we specifically chose CR for our first trip because as i was going thru the options for a family of 5, the more themed ones seemed like too much. i don't wanna be hit over the head with mickey shapes and theming everywhere. there is plenty of that in the...

    Pete Werner vs Bruce Vallance

    me too!! when i was a kid, my mom used to watch it. when i heard the reference on the podcast... my 40 something old brain dinged...but it put me thru some mental acrobatics trying to remember him (based on the visual presented, which turned out to be a big clue!!). i was determined *not* to...

    Having 2nd thoughts Am I the only 1?

    we LOVED the CR on our first trip (during holiday season!) and would seriously be happy to stay there *every* time!! i understand they are some of the biggest rooms on property, i love the decor, fireworks view was fantastic, we enjoyed both the wave and the cali grill and the lobby area with...

    Polynesian vs. Grand Floridian

    i would pick poly over gf... same as you, theming doesn't thrill me. way more interested in exotic over victorian. i found the counter service restaurant at gf average at best. enjoy wherever you end up!!

    Whats up with all the Farting ?

    based on this point, i would expect locals in the orlando area to be SUPER-healthy breathing in the sulphuric rankness of that tap water. :rolleyes: when we stayed at disney, i woke in the middle of the night for a pee. i walked in the bathroom and remembered wondering how kids or DH got up...

    Advice, please: Yacht Club or Boardwalk?

    i would recommend yacht club. i haven't actually made it there yet (look down...) but have been trying for 3 years and have done tons of research! :jumping1:

    What did Teresa Say?

    i heard it and thought it was funny (okay, i admit it took me a minute to get it) but do remember thinking "yikes, someone is NOT going to like that comment". if you want a totally scripted podcast with no spontaneity and hosts afraid to shoot from the hip in case they make a "mistake".... that...

    Funny Things that Cdns say/do at Disney that make Americans go 'huh?'

    i am surprised that is how a server replied. anywhere i go in canada if i ask for tea i am brought hot tea, usually without any question. if i ask for iced tea i may be told "it's pre-sweetened..." (i.e. from a fountain) almost like "is that what you really want?". i did get caught on this...

    What doesn't matter to you

    when i tell people i love disney and they have been, they often bring up these exact items... to which i reply "ya, really not into any of that". i went to disney and came home without purchasing a single item with mickey on it (tshirt from yak and yeti, mug from animal kingdom, epcot...

    Loonie may go back to 1.28 speculation....

    yikes - some of those posts made me dizzy as i am most certainly *not* a math nerd... certainly an aptitude i wish i had. so this is what my (math-challenged) mind was wondering...if i make payments on my canadian visa, i have no control when they post it so could get the next day or day after...

    Ever Been To A Theme Park On A Cold Day? What Was It Like?

    we went in december and it is the only time i would consider going! (i can't give temps because we are metric people and i am too lazy to convert it) BUT i would wear capris, tshirts all day long and as the sun started to set i had a light sweater for late afternoon/evening. i love florida...

    In your opinion what is the most UNDERrated thing in WDW?

    having been ONE whole time... here are mine! MK: loved the people mover and trains as well. just a nice spot to "take a load off" and look around. sometimes when juggling bags and maps and kids, you miss so much. AK: the whole park! awesome, beautiful space with amazing theming. we loved...
