If I was pregnant I think I'd really have to think about going. I know it hasn't been in Orlando, yet, but I think my nerves would be shot if I was pregnant and got bit in FL. 

 

Someone was was saying they wonder if the storms/depressions churning in the Atlantic could end up pushing the mosquitos one way or the another.

I have a friend that is pregnant whose husband won a trip to Miami from his employer.  They said, thanks, but no.  Her doctor also told her that men carry Zika for two years and that if they were planning to have any other children in the next two years, he should not go either.

I have nothing to add to the conversation, but find it amusing that someone with only 5 posts on the board has amassed a total negative respect score of -40.  Someone needs to kick back with a warm, ooey gooey Main Street Bakery cinnamon roll and chill.   

Nothing to add either, but that looks delicious....are they really extinct?

We enjoy the Biergarten also.  And pastry in France.

We are among the few that actually still enjoy Ellen's Energy Adventure.  My son is a non-thrill seeker and is very disappointed that another of his favorites is being replaced by a roller coaster.  Our next trip to the Fort was not supposed to be until next summer, but we are jumping through financial and campsite availability hoops to get him to Florida for one last ride.

I think the trash cans are partly for raccoons, too.  Just think about that instead of bears.  ;-)

 

The biggest draw back I found about the new trash cans is having to open them after they bake in the sun...

I have to sort of agree with the assessment of The Jungle Book show.  It's only redeeming factor for me is the number of live performers it employed.

Those are just adorable.  Almost too cute to use.

Thank you!!

Can anyone onsite confirm fireworks times for Magic Kingdom for July 4th?  When you call the information line, it says no fireworks are scheduled for July 4th on the automated system.  Thanks for the help.

This is a wonderful solution = something bigger that my autistic child will NOT want attached to him or anything he is wearing.  I'll keep my money and continue to wear two magic bands.  For my money, I wish they would come up with a consistent policy for those with disabilities that don't want to have their finger scanned...oops, my teen says my inner cynic is showing.

Looks delicious - my dinner tonight has just lost all its appeal....

I have used gift cards to pay reservations and annual passes.  Have never tried to put an "advance" on the room to cover charges, but I have been able to leave the remainder of a gift card on the room account that was used to pay for stuff before my card was charged.  Also, I believe the credit card is only billed at the beginning of the stay (for the balance of the reservation) and then is billed as you reach the limit on the reservation.  This leaves the option to stop in and pay with the gift card at anytime during the stay.

Most cab companies will give you a stop on the way in for groceries and in August the refrigerator is a great idea.  We have never really relied on the Meadows for groceries beyond odds and ends because it gets pricey and the selection is limited.  We tried using a cooler one summer, but it would have been cheaper to buy the refrigerator than what we spent on ice.

Thanks for the kind words.  As long as we have hope, anything can happen.

This is perfect for my cooking style.  Not many ingredients and no "judgment" calls to be made.  Thanks.

On our last trip to Disney with my dad (we lost him shortly after), we were in the world showcase for dinner.  I turned around looking for my kids and they were gone, as were my nieces.  Mom explained that Grandpop decided that they absolutely needed to try eclairs from the French bakery BEFORE spoiling their appetites with dinner.  Since that day, it is a must stop for my son and we have always enjoyed the freshness of the offerings, so I would tend to believe that they bake daily.  Let's face it - eclairs have a short shelf life.....

I am embarrassed by the behavior in my hometown.  Please stay safe and I will be praying for you and your son.  

My autistic son is a YouTube fanatic and has no concept that there must be an actual "connection" before it works.  To be be safe, we put together a kit for the camper similar to the one provided by Disney plus a wireless router.  We have used it on several trips without any problems - most recently in the fall of 2014.

I am partial to the Midori Colada at Crockett's Tavern.  Delicious and refreshing while waiting for the Giddyup and Go meal!

Love the Matterhorn, but I am always in favor of another theatre....dancers gotta work too.

I am very sad....thanks for the responses.

Just got off the phone with WDW Reservations and was told that in order to get a AAA discount I had to make my reservation with AAA.  Is this a new policy? Has anyone booked with AAA before?  I was wondering if their were fees charged by AAA for booking with them.  I have only ever made my own reservations and am frankly, disappointed by this new development....

It was 26 degrees here last night and I am appalled that I am envying folks trying to avoid mosquitos.  I am actually anxiously awaiting the first little blood sucker of the season.....

These sound delicious and a great solution for everyone wanting something different
