Retired & Tired (Judy)

I have a VHS copy of Song of the South (somewhere). I read that Bill Cosby bought the rights to the movie and will not allow it to be shown as long as he is alive. I love Bill Cosby but can not understand his thinking on this. To me it is a beautiful story.

We always spend one night at the In and Out Trailer Park in Lake City, Fla. on our way to Disney and on our way home. It cuts our trip down and allows us to get into Disney much earlier the next morning and not be soooooo tired. Not sure why it is called In and Out but one time we did not arrive until the office was closed so we just drove in and set up for the night and the next morning I went in to pay when we were leaving.

We enjoy camping in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tn. There are 3 or 4 RV parks that are really close to the center of everything. We enjoy taking the kids to Dollywood every year because Shawnee loves to ride the Big Black Train. Not much they can ride there since they are too heavy for us to lift in and out of their wheel chairs but we enjoy the food, the shows and the atmosphere. Of course, even at Disney they can not ride more than 3 or 4 rides since most of them require them getting out of their chairs. We love Tennessee.

Disney visitors are usually nice to those of us who have children in wheel chairs but when a parade starts and our children are on the front row......yep here comes a family who will shove their children in front of ours. Ours cannot stand up and look over these other children. We have actually had costumed characters come up to our children and if others try to get in there with the character they will just move closer to our children. Go cast members!!!!

Hubby posted above. We like the preferred or premium because those sites are longer and a little wider. It is easier to get our 37' MH and 12' trailer in there. It also gives us the concrete pad for the add on room.

How can I move a picture from Face Book or from my computer to this site if they are not on photo bucket, etc.?

That does look like a mickey to me!!!!!

Oh no.....we are so sorry for your loss. As you have probably read, we lost two children this past year (June 24 and December 12) and both times we debated on whether to continue with our plans to make the trip to WDW. Both times we agreed we HAD to go and needed to go. Both our children and the other 2 we lost in 2006 and 2008, are always with us. Winnie the Pooh one said "If we should ever have to be apart, just keep me in your heart and I will always be with you". Your precious wife will always be with ALL of you. She would not want you all sitting around grieving over her pas

He should have been parked next to some we have had to endure......late night loud kids, bouncing balls right at our bedroom window, early wake up by same loud children.......but we never complained and just smiled when we saw them. We have also been next to folks who leave early every morning and drive back in at 1-3 am. And after slamming their car doors at least 40 times (it seemed that many) did not settle in for an hour or two.

One of those wind chimes would make a great donation for one of the upcoming raffles.

We took in the HDDR on December 19th and thoroughly enjoyed it, We try to do it every year when we are there. The kids loved the music and we all loved the food. I do think the strawberry shortcake was a little different but still wonderful.....just not enough of it. We did not ask for more though. On Dec. 31 we went to the Back Yard Bar B Que and enjoyed it as usual. Food is always wonderful but I was not as fond of the chicken this year as I have been in the past. Not crispy enough. Shawnee did much better with the loud music this year too, We will do both of them next year too.

For $600 a week you could buy your own golf cart and have it paid off in a short time.

Why are there never any discounts available for the campground sites? We are the folks that come more often and probably spend the most money over the course of a year and yet we are treated as "step" children. Something needs to be done about this. See I am really on a roll tonight. lol

I am coming to the experts with this question. Actually I have the answer to it somewhere but right now only the Good Lord knows where it is. I need the mailing address for the Campground to give the new little one's caseworker so she can get permission for him to travel with us to Disney in December. Also need it for our mail person so our first class mail can be forwarded to us. Thanks for your help once again. Love, Judy and the sweet Angels

I think we are O K on our many, many Christmas decorations although I had wanted to be closer to a street to give me more room to decorate but I think being where we usually are will be best. We usually have an empty lot (no campsite) beside us and that helps. We hang lights from the trees and on the bushes so the only thing I can't hang this year will be the large bells. Wish we were there for Halloween but are planing on being there next year. Yipee!!!!! Hope everyone is having fun and thinking about us folks at home.

We made our December-January, 2011 reservations last December. We also book at least one year ahead to get the size site we want and dates. We usually book any special dinning or shows way ahead of time too. Good Luck on getting yours.

I have been wondering for the past 2 weeks why WDW refuses to allow someone to reserve a site for 3 nights when they have hundreds that have been sitting empty for the past 2 weeks. In one loop alone, all but 5 were empty. In our loop (1200) we have over half empty since we arrived on the 9th of July. The only full loop, or mostly full, has been the 600 loop. This seems like a waste of space and money could be made instead of them sitting empty. Anyone have any answers on this? We will be heading for Mobile on Sat. for a memorial service on Sun. for our Kenya. Then home to Stone Mou

Thanks to all of you for your concern over this broken arm. My son asked me how anyone could fly out of a golf cart while in a parade in Disney World. I told him it was not easy but I thought a little action might help us win....it didn't. I am doing much better. The staples have been removed and they are going to leave the rod (inside the bone) and the screws in there forever. I have 3 more Physical Therapy sessions and hopefully that will be all. I can continue doing most of them at home then. I have promised my doctors and my therapist that I will stay inside the golf cart or OUT

Jen: Crimson would be a much nicer color! :argh: You know this is a house divided. I am the Alabama Alumni and Ken is AU. And then next year, when we take the National Title back again, you will have the right colors on the RV. Love you. Judy

Just want to say hello to all our old and new friends on this great new site. Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Hope you are all having a great "Disney Day" even if you are at home as we are. (Hubby posts under Retired and Happy).
