Just out of curiosity I called Carnival cruises. And spoke with the people in charge of guests with special needs. They will allow true service dogs, at no charge on any of their ships. She was very specific about what a service dog is. A service dog must do an actual job for the guest. I. E. Guide a blind person or react to a seizure. 
 They absolutely do not allow any sort of emotional support dogs/animals on their ships with one exception. A PTSD dog that does an actual job for the person. Example,  if the person gets anxiety from being in large crowds and the dog is trained to sit on the person to relieve the anxiety.   They just can’t be there to be petted. They will provide a pet relive box on stateroom balcony but not in a regular room. You must use the box(es) process on deck. Animals are not allowed on ANY furniture and are not allowed to be fed outside the stateroom.  And you must provide the food for your animal. 

Yep.  Pet peeve of mine, for the reason that (some) folks are now bringing Fido into parks, restaurants, markets, etc... simply because they don't want to leave them.  I've personally met people, who have flat out told me that they didn't want to leave their pet, so they simply buy (which anyone can do) a "service animal" vest and in they go.  One couple at the Fort, actually went so far to have friend whose a doc, write a letter to say that their 4lb mutt "needed" to be with them for support (just in case anyone asked...but people are so afraid of not being "PC" anymore, that they rarely ask),   This because (he admitted) they didn't want to leave their dog behind.
Service animals, like handicap parking, should be protected.  It's boils my blood, to see people abuse the system because there are people who truly need assistance.  Some, whose lives may depend on it, and there are people who (basically) flick mud on that need because they want to bring their pet with them.   

Don’t worry. I just sent them all links!

Beautiful!!!
Simply beautiful!!!

Participation trophies for everyone!!!
UCF had an awesome season.  But if want to run with the big dogs they need to play with the big dogs during the regular season.   Iirc they only played one or two teams that were ranked in the top 25. Memphis (19). Who they barely beat in OT. And another small team. Who I think was ranked 25th at the time. 
The most impressive win was the peach bowl win against auburn.

This site like others Epps and flows.   
Yes there are several people that don’t post anymore.  But there are several new people that have started to post.  
FF.net isn’t going anywhere.  
If you want to improve it or add content, do it.  Tell us about your last trip.  It doesn’t have to be a great work of literature.  Just a few pictures and a little narrative to go with it.   
Share an interesting story you read about WDW or the Fort. 
Share an interesting fact or bit of trivia about the Fort or WDW.  
This site was never intended for a few people to post TRs or other content. This is a community were we all share our thoughts about the Fort and WDW. The good and the bad. 
Thank you and good day!

You expect me to waste my time taking a bunch of pictures of a sign!!!!

Yea that’s not going to happen. 
 Oklahoma City’s forecast for Christmas eve is high of 32° low of 16° and that’s what it’s going to be pretty much the rest of the year. 
 So if Central Florida is too crowded for you. I’ll be happy to let you take my place in OKC.  While I’m in Orlando
btw.  I have full hook ups next to my shop. If you want to bring your RV. LOL 

Universal was able to connect the two Harry Potter Lands by thinking outside the box and making a moving attraction out of the Hogwarts Express.  Maybe they have something similar in mind here but on a larger scale?
 

Our schedule was ranked as high as #1 most difficult pre-season. Yes, some of the teams we played didn't end up being as good as predicted. However, I've seen our schedule ranked between 10-27th most difficult based on current rankings. That's out of 130 teams, so I stand by my statement that our schedule is more difficult than most of the country's. And I do think a win in South Bend at night is a signature win, especially with a freshman making his first career start. Notre Dame might have lost some games, but they crushed the PAC 12 champion. Alabama's strength of schedule is actually ranked below ours in every set of rankings I saw. 

So they weren’t wild.  
Did disney just let them and the other animals run wild on the island?
boy i wish i Have had a chance to visit discovery Island.would Have had a chance to visit discovery Island.

I made beef stew.   Browned the meat and onions and then addded all the rest of the ingredients. Set for 35 minutes and waited.  I was really surprised how tender the meat was in only 35 minutes.   Delicious!

My IP didn’t come with the extra pot or the “lime green” straps.   Did you have to order them separately or did you get them from that “other” forum?
LOL!!!

DW and DD surprised me with the 6 qt Instant Pot for my B-Day yesterday.    
Im going to have to try a few of those recipes.  
A friend gave me his oatmeal recipe and I’m going to try it this weekend.  
A memeber of my men’s group at church gave me his yogurt recipe.  My DW eats yogurt every morning and I eat it about 3-5 mornings a week.  
So i think we will be having home made yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast Saturday.   
I’ll let y’all know how it turns out.  
Btw.  If you have any health, easy one pot recipes for my instant pot please send them my way.  

Interesting! I found it most interesting that a true service dog is never off leash, being held, and a purse, or a shopping cart.  Four on the floor always.
 
And I think the national  certification for true service dogs is a must. There’s just too many people that feel they can take their “service dog “anywhere they feel like. Regardless of the consequences.
