    Trip Report- Aloha from Kauai & Aulani-Now with Pics!

    Thank you for writing this! Happy 15th! I hadn't heard about Fia Fia. Perfect timing for me to read about it. We had decided on Paradise Cove, but I just read a bad review that is making me nervous! Now I am going to research Fia Fia!

    Back from Aulani vacation. Quick report on an amazing vacation!!

    Thank you for your report! I am in the process of preparing our trip plans. The recommendation for HNL saved me much time and legwork to figure out where to book lessons for my daughters (15). Can you tell me a little more about the teen activities? Was there anything you planned to do and...

    Help.....A mom trying to understand Instagram

    Thanks for the information. I look forward to reading more about it. My thinking is that it is probably to cover Instagram, much like the theater isn't allowed to sell tickets to minors. Is it illegal for minors to purchase tickets? However, I'll have to look into it.

    Help.....A mom trying to understand Instagram

    Since you are quoted "uncomfortable," I figure this is a rebuttal to my post. I was offering a reason to the OP as to why SOME are against the idea. I wasn't stating that everyone who doesn't allow her child, isn't knowledgeable. I think everyone needs to make informed decisions for their own...

    Help.....A mom trying to understand Instagram

    Kerri, you can deny without looking a person's pics. I am supposing it was the profile picture? The request pops up under news or at the top with a yes or no. I encountered one like that but I think it was the user name not a picture. Since, I've not run into anything. I had to research and...

    Help.....A mom trying to understand Instagram

    OP, I have girls who will be 11 next week. They have instagram and as do all of their friends except one (whose mother is one of my best friends). Both DH and I are followers to their private accounts. I use their iPods to see what they post on their friends pictures. The idea of social...

    Bringing food to airport

    Lol. I thought I'd read directions on how to catch a later magical express. (Which I've considered giving disney another flight number so we could get picked up two-two and a half hours ahead instead of three.)

    Parenting Dilemma - Charming and I don't agree....

    OP, I don't think you sounded negative at all. I got the impression that you would extend yourself for your daughter if it was what she wanted. I also got the impression that you needed support that you weren't a terrible mom for not wanting to take your daughter who lacks enthusiasm for a...

    January 2013

    How awful! We leave in a week. Your flight must have been earlier than ours, I think it was us air who announced as we were checking into sw that all flights were cancelled. I was dreading the same announcement from southwest. We leave a week from tomorrow; safe travels to you. Hopefully, your...

    Parenting Dilemma - Charming and I don't agree....

    Yes, I agree that she'd lose a year of skill that others will have, but if she's serious about the sport, she'd gain it back anyway. (or you could do extra batting practices or training sessions.) I don't think that you're right and he is wrong. However, I do think that if she isn't...

    Bringing food to airport

    We take food to the MCO to travel home. On the Dining plan, we'd always have extra credits. So, we get our counter service meals and pack them up to eat at airport while waiting for flight home. Magical Express always drops you so early! As far as the drinks and for ease, we eat before going...

    January 2013

    I was lurking as we are less than two weeks from WDW! I have to know; were you on the Southwest flight that waited for the flight to arrive from Pittsburg (the three hour de-icing)? If so, we flew to MCO together! My kids had a tough time waiting on the plane, but as soon as we took off...

    Dining plan

    If you have two children (9 or under) and plan on doing buffets, then you have a good chance at a savings. If not, it's probably cheaper to pay oop. We share many meals and drinks, especially counter service. We also don't eat desserts with every lunch and dinner. (When you total receipts...

    Revisiting DVC...again!

    I think you need to consider the number of points for the type of accommodations that you want. For summer months a studio is 134 points for a week. A one bedroom is 269 points a week. (April 7 -30 is the same as summer months. First two weeks of Dec is 97 studio/ 197 one bedroom) We have...

    What's the strangest thing your child has asked for..

    American Pavillion in Epcot had it! Thanks for the idea. It's my DD's (10) favorite candy! My friend will be in Disney, and I'll get her to pick it up. (Otherwise, I'd have to order online I imagine.) My daughter asked for a vacuum when she was six or seven. I bought her a real one and a...
