I think we need a little fluff :)

1. Have you/Will you decorate(d) for the fall?

2. Have you started any Holiday shopping yet?

3. What is one food (or drink) that you look forward to when the weather gets cooler?

Bonus (it was a discussion at work yesterday and wondered others opinions):
4. If you were able to have an inheritance for your children (or maybe you have already experienced this with your own family), and you were able to live comfortably and was not relying on that money to survive, would you rather spend the money while you are alive and watch your children enjoy the money now or would you rather have it given to them when you died?

Agreed. One doesn't have to stay on property to get a Disney experience. Everyone's experience will be different. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Not having enough money is not the only reason for choosing the most cost-effective option.

I am not sure why anyone would want someone to pre0ackage their vacation into a Disney Expeience or a Harry Potter Experience or a DaVinci Code experience or whatever. We've been to Disney, England. And Paris butt we very much choose to have a "Bord Family Experience" rather than a Packaged Fun Tour that might nclude things we don't find fun and therefore do not care to pay for, and might not include things we would very much enjoy.

< I already have our restaurant choices for our vacation next year-lol!! >

REALLY? OMG, I would hate that. To me, vacation is about spontanaiety, adventure...turning a corner and going, "Oh, cool...let's go there next!" Knowing ahead of time where I'd be eating would feel like work to me...kind of a "OK, now we have to do this" sorta thing.

yeah that was one reason we decided against an on site and dining package- we wanted to be more spur of th emoment and we went at a slower time so getting into restaurants wasn't an issue. We made our two reservatsion about a month ahead and then let the rest of the chips fall where they may.

Thanks. I have had early signs of anaphylaxis more than once from eating things that have had ingredients I didn't know about or that were cooked in the same area as seafood. I've been very lucky so far in that I've been able to identify the problem before it's gotten any further than facial swelling and stiff joints. Very frightening -- and in one case it was actually because someone lied to me. I asked if the fries were cooked separately from the seafood and they said yes. I ate about 5 fries before I noticed a shrimp tail mixed in with them.

Allergy issues aside, though, I think it's important for people to at least have the option of knowing exactly what they're putting into their bodies. It's not like I'm going to sell someone's secret recipe on the internet or something!LOL

We prefer a mix bettween planned and spontaneous activities. For instance on our trip to Florida we found out a certain day (night actually) there would be a rocket launch. Since you kind of have to go with the government's schedule on that one, we planned the rest of our visit accordingly. We got baseball tickets for that night and made reservations for the lunch with an astronaut. We knew we wanted to try Cuban fod tthere so we searched around and got the names of a couple of highly recommended places. We got our tickets to the behind the scenes tour at Kennedy because you get a substantial discount if you get the 7 days early online. We got the Discovery Cove tickets. The other four days we were there we kind of played it by ear. Turns out when we got to Kennedy they were having an "add an extra day for ten bucks" promotion, so we did that. We told the kid he could have one day at an amusement park of his choice & he chose Universal. Etc.
