Is she renting points on a DVC room? If so, that is about right. You get towel and trash service on DVC rooms, but have to pay for full cleaning.

But but but, the desert parties are just to die for.  And little Melinda just looks so adorable in the 98 degree temps and 95% humidity in her $300 Bippity Boppity makeover.
Ta Ta, we're off to our 4th character meal of the day, the premium plus dining plan is just divine...

That was my experience a couple of years ago too. General work email, Webex meetings, no issues, working with large files live on SharePoint, my Verizon MiFi did a better job. This was in 1700 loop. Just as practice though, when I'm working remotely on a wireless network, I generally just check out the file, download it to my hard drive, work it, then upload when done. Lots less bandwith required than saving to the server every few minutes.

Sounds like we should have had a GG on the bridge.  

I think the WWWssss, should take a side trip to do this next year 🙂
 
Royal Palm Railway Experience
Crawling through the endless – why, they seem positively "Ultimate" – construction zones along I-4 is enough to make any commuter long for a return to an era before interstate highways. For the next best thing, make your way to Tavares and board the Royal Palm Railway Experience. Vintage diesel-driven 1950s passenger trains, outfitted with air conditioning and domed observation windows, make regular departures from the recently renovated Wooton Park terminal along the "Golden Triangle" to shopping and entertainment districts in Mount Dora and Eustis. Round-trip tickets for a standard ride cost under $15 per adult ($10 for kids), while special family-friendly holiday seasonal experiences with entertainment themed around The Polar Express will run you $38-$64. Adults will be more interested in weekly dining events like Saturday's BBQ Limited ($28) or monthly alcohol events such as Rails & Ales ($40) and the Royal Wine Limited ($50). Spend your 70-minute journey into the past sipping or supping, while you soak in the Old Florida scenery and shake your fist at what Eisenhower's infrastructure investments hath spawned.thefloridatrain.com

I have alerted the Royal Palm Railway to order more wine....

Since we usually stay in 300 (aka Cypress Knee Circle), it's the stray coquina and the random bits of Cypress we find in every nook and cranny of the truck.

There's your retirement project. 

We arrived at the Anaheim Harbor RV park before it got dark has we still had no working running lights. This park is about a mile from Disneyland. You could see the fireworks really good! It's not a bad park considering your in the city. We did not like that our van had to be parked about 5 spaces away. It was a bit of a pain going back and forth. They had some gas grills set up for anyone to use. Also had a club house with a TV, snack machine, toaster oven, microwave and a Keurig. We took advantage of all of this. Bathrooms nice and clean and very modern. Dinner was at the Taco Bell down the street. We walked there saw some homeless people but they did not bother us. We set up and went to bed very excited to be here!

Tomorrow, June 19, is the day Walt Disney World is releasing the 2019 dates. 2019 looks to be a year of change for me.
As some of you know I still have a day job but that looks to be coming to an end in the next half a year or so. Not certain yet but I am prepping as if it is happening.
What does this mean for all of you? I am intending to go full time at this as a Travel Agent. I will be working on lots of new photo series, videos, and other informative content to make your travel planning even better.
It also means I need your support even more for next year. If you are thinking about Disney travel in the next year Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, Adventures by Disney, or one of the other Disney Theme Parks around the world let me help you plan it out. It wont cost you anything and you end up with concierge level service, planning dining, Fastpass+ planning, help figuring out what days in each park, answering questions whenever they come up. Basically I am here for as much or as little help as you need.
I also book almost all of the major cruise lines, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian, and MSC to name some of the ones I have booked for clients. And I am working on the training for Sandals and Beachs to offer clients and all inclusive option as well.
So reach out to me if you are thinking about travel. It costs you nothing and supports a small business at the same time. Tell your friends and family too.
And pretty soon I will be available even more than I already am now to take care of your travel needs when they come up even faster than I do now.
Thank you all for your continued support in my business of making your travel time more enjoyable and less stressful.

p.s. tomorrow is when we can book to October 31, 2019 for all you Halloween Fans it is time to get me your dates for Halloween travel next year. Lets get you booked before the pickings get slim. 

What I would do instead, is contact Jason at MouseCounselors (sponsor here on the board), and get him looking for a full hookup for you. Then cancel your premium once he finds it. He will do everything he can to find the right reservation for you!!

I'll take the free publicity, honestly. Wouldn't dream of bugging them about using our name like that. I'm happy to see people writing about the Fort thinking enough of us to use us for research! Complaining at them about name-dropping us seems counter-productive on every level I can imagine.

Awsome :)
 

There is no doubt that Ben is a talented entertainer.  As I have previously posted, my family really loves him in the role of Six Bits, and we also enjoyed seeing him in the Frozen show.  However, I checked out his YouTube show and it just wasn't for me.  Like everything on social media, it's not my thing.  Maybe I'm getting old, but all of this new media, YouTube, Twitter crap wore thin on me a long time ago.  In any case, you'll have to excuse me.  It's time for Andy Griffith and I can't catch it later as my VCR is broken.

That's why even as an out of stater, I refuse to go to the parks without a annual pass. I HATE that feeling of this ticket is burnt up if I don't use it that day to the fullest. With an annual pass, we can book our 3 FP+ for later in the day, do those attractions, wander a bit, have a meal, and head back to the retreat of the Fort or wander another resort. I feel no need or no desire to spend hours in a park if it's too crowded. We also do not renew every year. We purchase a new annual pass every couple of years.

OK, I just figured out how to pay much "less" for your parking if you are driving into Disney, and it will work for any resort. PLUS, it will give you the pleasure of costing Disney money, instead of giving it to them. When you book your Disney reservation, book DME, and give them phantom airlines and flight numbers for your departure and arrival. Google MCO parking and find the cheapest parking deal you can find. I've seen as little as $3.99 a day. Drive to that parking place instead of Disney, and have them drop you at MCO, then go board DME to go to your resort. At the end of your trip, board DME for the airport, get on the shuttle to your parking spot, then head home.
If you don't want to put your entire family and all the luggage on DME and the parking lot shuttle, you could drop the family, luggage, and your grocery run off at the resort, then one of you deposit the car. Then at the end of the trip, one of you could hop on DME to get to MCO to retrieve the car, come back to WDW and retrieve the family and luggage.
Yes, it's a little bit of your time, but Disney doesn't get the extra revenue for a parking space they already have, another business does get your revenue, and your are getting every penny's worth of the "benefits" of being a Disney resort guest.

Update: We just returned from our 1400 mile round trip to the Fort with the new tires and I'm happy to report that the Carlisles performed admirably. Trailer rode nice and no issues.
 

I think they mentioned when they started "season" pricing on the tickets, they were blatantly saying they wanted the Disney experience to be special. They wanted to make it expensive enough that the parks were not quite so full. We complain about the prices, and we complain about the crowds. Can you imagine how full the parks and resorts would be if they did not raise the prices like they have been? However, it still stinks
