I live in good old Washington state, but my sister lives in OC so I get to visit at least once a year. I have three kiddos that keep me super busy. I'm an elementary school teacher as well.
So is the grace period over for young MWers when they turn 18? I don't know if I'm just cranky tonight, but oh my!

Oahu is amazing, there's Pearl Harbor and Waikiki and the Dole Plantation. If you end up there I recommend the Paradise Cove Luau, it's a fun experience. Also, take a tour of Ioloni Palace, the only royal residence in the US. Plus, Hawaii 5-O films on Oahu! - CaliGirlNiki32.6 #4252 1-25-12 12:11AMLike Reply
Oahu is not my favorite, but there is so much to do like CaliGirl mentioned. Try renting a car and driving up to North Shore....besides the Dole Plantation there's Kualoa Ranch. LOST and a lot of other TV shows and movies were filmed there. You can horseback ride, take a ATV or bus tour...and it's beautiful. There's also the Polynesian Cultural Center which is a fascinating look at the Pacific Island cultures. - Gia782.1 #119 1-30-12 10:45PMLike Reply

The guidelines for picture posts (if that's what it was) is that the picture adds value to the lounge and is Disney related. So if it was a pic post did it meet those guidelines? - BLG1049.5 #81 10-30-11 9:15PMLike Reply
I think so, because it was funny, at least to me! (and Disney related which I thought people might like to guess who it was) - mommyneedsavacation139.0 #2459 10-30-11 9:18PMLike Reply
Just want you all to know that we MWs that live thousands of miles away are extremely jealous of your nightly meetups and frolicking in the Park. Just saying.
That's why I'm hosting the Mouse wait Christmas gift exchange. Are you guys interested in joining in on it with us?

Who else wants to be pathetic and ask for friends with me? If we keep it in one post, we can add each other. This is for those poor souls that aren't being sought after. :) I'll start.....add me!
Don't think oh it as being sought after. Met ups, chance met ups, and RAKs just helps make a lot of friends. You' ll be there sometime or another. This post here may be the tipping point. Any how.

What are the qualifications for being a Plaid? Do you have to work for DL for a certain period of time? Do they make more than most cast members? See, everyone wants to know who is with the plaid. I want to know about the plaid. :)
All that money to reseve a plaid and they get paid the same. It looks like such a prestigious position that should be paid triple. - HotDiggityDogDaddy1112.0 #74 10-11-11 8:26AMLike Reply

So my little boy, who isn't even 2 and a half yet, is tall enough to go on the Matterhorn. It floors me you only have to be 35 inches for that attraction. I wonder if it will change with the new bobsleds.

It's not terribly new. It was there when we went in 2006. Their Pooh is located right in the middle of Fantasyland, next to Peter Pan. It tends to get much longer lines than our Pooh that's tucked away in Critter Country. Same exact ride, though. - bunnymama331.6 #460 7-29-11 6:39PMLike Reply

I have a daughter with a severe milk allergy. We visit DL yearly and love how they accommodate our special needs. Does anyone know of quick food or snacks at the park that are milk free I'm not aware of?
Stop by guest services at either park they have list for what you can have and where it is. I am gluten free and I an almost positive they have lists for dairy free etc. - sewgirl340.5 #427 7-28-11 3:50PMLike Reply
So for those of you that are at the parks ALL the time (jealous and green with envy), do you bring your own food in or buy most of the time? If you bring stuff in, what do you bring, other than fudge? (wink, wink Mrs strawberry)

Don't think it's illegal. Cedar Point like most theme parks just don't allow it since they charge for photos. Also the monitors are not in the open, they are at the photo purchase location. - Coaster9128.8 #1 7-23-11 12:01AMLike Reply

Not sure how. Maybe by assuming? Usually you can tell if it's going to be busy or not if there's a holiday weekend... also, by looking at the hours. If it's open till 8pm, guaranteed it'll be pretty light. - goinghometime24.3 #4705 2-20-11 7:15PMLike Reply
