    How many miles a year do you drive?

    I'm in the under 10K camp, but just barely. We are a two car family with one person working remotely. Our public schools offer bussing if you live more than 1.5 miles away. The kids only do rec sports. The closest grocery store is under 2 miles away...I could walk.

    Which Deluxe Resort for a girls trip 3 adults (80s/50s/30s), 1 tween, 1 pre-teen?

    The Riviera has a much smaller footprint than GF. Less walking, but less areas to hang out and explore at the resort. The lobby of the Riviera is underwhelming and the quick service is snug. There will only be skyliner transportation to HS and Epcot, not great if you have anyone that is...

    Question For Eclipse Totality Veterans

    We were in totality yesterday. For me it was cool, but not life changing. I almost feel broken because it was not the amazing, earth shattering experience other people were having. It was neat to experience but pretty much what I expected.

    What is your pet’s full name?

    Our dog is named Cooper. When he was a tiny little puppy I called him Coopertino, as in little Cooper, not the city Cupertino, CA. So his middle name is now officially Tino. We call him Cooper, Coopertino, Cooper T, the Tino and tiny toes. When he is naughty and climbs on something he...

    Sea bass was super yummy. I still think about it two years later.

    Taking Uber to Port Everglades

    We had a similar experience as the PP. We arrived at 11:30 for a 12 PAT. (Our pre-scheduled Uber was early) No backup/no traffic. Just be prepared to have some form of ID handy when you enter (and exit) the port area.

    slo’s WEDNESDAY 3/27 poll - Weighted Blanket

    I got one as a gift and thought I would love it. At first I tried using it like a normal blanket, covering from feet to shoulders. I got very hot, felt like I couldn't move and the weight somehow aggravated joint pain. Now, I only drape it across my midsection/hip area and it's perfect for me.

    Cruise length with little kids/ hurricane season

    The DCL pools and Castaway Cay have an ample amount of life jackets. You will see a lot of kids wearing them. DS9 will swim for a while, but grabs a life jacket if he just wants to be in the pool and watch the movie on the funnel vision. The life guards are pretty vigilant too--moving around...

    Bringing old beer mug

    I was replying to the poster I quoted who was speculating on the current cost of the mug. And actually you asked if they still had "it" not if they honored the mug vs only the token in your original post.

    Guarantee Status vs. IGT/OGT/VGT

    We booked an IGT and got a deck 2 Handicap Accessible room. It was huge, close to the midship elevator and the Enchanted Garden restrooms.

    Am I crazy? Would you try this?

    It is insanely easy to get from FLL to Port Everglades. If you had to fly in on embarkation day it would be the port I would be the least nervous about. Are there any direct flights from Vegas to Fort Lauderdale? Just throwing this out there...October is still hurricane season. You might...

    Guarantee Status vs. IGT/OGT/VGT

    I prepaid my gratuities 22 days ahead of embarkation and later that afternoon my room was assigned. Could have been a coincidence.

    Fridge/Freezers

    We have a French door fridge over freezer on it's last legs...we just ordered another French door fridge over freezer to replace it. We've never been a multiple fridge family but somehow got $100 off the new fridge if we added a free mini fridge to our order. DH has claimed it for his office...

    Can you get regular MDR menu on Pirate Night?

    DH loved the braised bbq beef salad on the lighter note pirate night menu and he's not typically a salad guy.

    Does anyone still play board games? Have board games gotten too big and complicated?

    I'm a big fan of simpler games that you can finish in under an hour and understand the rules after one round. Our latest purchase (at the request of the kids) was Root. A game takes us about two hours to complete and I still don't fully understand it after playing it 4 times. (Each faction...

    Reef Safe Sunscreen

    This is exciting...the amount of sunscreen we have to travel with makes checking a bag a forgone conclusion.

    Reef Safe Sunscreen

    Pipette is the best I have ever tried. Non-nano zinc, no white cast (we are pale, so YMMV), feels more like a moisturizer than a sunscreen due to the squalane. I love it so much I have it on auto ship from the company.

    Disney Visa discounts- DCL

    We linked our Disney Visa for onboard purchases. It showed up on our account for purchases at Mickey's Mainsail. The CMs noticed it on our account and provided the discount without us asking. This was a change from when we were onboard in 2022 and had to physically charge to the card vs our...
