Friend of a Fiend ... Pam

I fail to see how arming the redhead with a rifle is more PC.  It makes me uncomfortable.  I propose Disney replace all weapons, including the cannons in the ships, with rainbow flags.

We were in the area last week. Our daughter just moved there and we helped her move cross country. We added a few days into the end of our trip with a stay in Santa Cruz. It was absolutely beautiful. Whale watching cruises are great there if you enjoy the ocean. There is a cool boardwalk there to enjoy with kids. Eddie Money performed a free concert on the beach while we were there. If you are a foodie, you can't beat the fresh seafood, fruit, and vegetables in the area. We stayed in the hills and the evergreens smell like Christmas. Then you drive 10 minutes downhill to the beach and enjoy the ocean. We will be back. I have a close friend who highly recommended the Walt museum, but we'll have to do that on a future trip.

The museum is interesting - in some ways though it seems almost "quaint" when you look at what's happending at WDW.  It makes me very nostalgic!!! 
But all of SF is fun.  It's a very walkable city if you like to do that.  
We have stayed several times at a very nice campground (KOA Petaluma) just North of SF and then, rather then park downtown we just drove down to the ferry and took it across to the harbour. You can spend the day roaming around and then catch the ferry back whenever you like.  It avoids having to find parking which is at a real premium!!!!
Enjoy the city - it's one of our favourites.
And, if you need another suggestion, you can also hit the wine country north of the Bay area - there are a couple of really great day trips that are very easy drives through the different wine valleys and some lovely small towns with great restaurants and shops.
 

I hope I get to see it next weekend!

We have a reservation for 10:ish. I'm the only one in our group who has been there. I hope they bring the "A" game that morning because I've talked it up quite a bit to our group. 

Yes! That is key. She did the college program at Disneyland a couple of years ago and she noticed that the cast member she was talking with was a college program member too. It is important to remember that the cast members are there because they want to be part of making your experience at WDW a magical one; they usually are as much a fan of all things Disney as you are! 

If all goes according to plan this year, we'll be there!!!  :banana:
 
As of now we check into a preferred site 12/23.  If the year goes as planned, we don't check out until 1/21 (ahhhhhhhh!!)

I have a Cricut. It's a few years old. We can do a project if you want.

Exactly. Just for fun, I did a little research on RV Driver's training. There are a couple of places that do it. My brother used to drive semis for a living so surely I could handle it. I think your hubby would be a little nervous about it though. 

Hanging out at the quiet pool near the cabins. So relaxing.

We can't wait to see you and the other Dawg fans there, Kelly! 
 
We'll be there 23rd through 29th ... unless I can figure out a way to extend it! :)

Lurker no more :)
