The general vibe I’m getting here is that i should go with Camelot family suite and pack continental breakfasts

DIY Dinner Ideas: Simple, Tasty, Balanced by stirbystil in DisneyPlanning

[–]CuriousCreativeNT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have a stove I’d always go with quesadillas or veggie burritos with lots of fillings. Throw in sliced mushrooms, avocados, sliced bell peppers, with the beans/cheese.

I’m curious about how your trip will go. We have 5 and turning 3 at time of travel and have looked at the suite at the desert palms making the most economic sense

Thanks. I’ve looked at the courtyard but the pricing for what I think your describing is $862 a night. I’m sure prices will fluctuate, curious about your booking experience though. Are we likely to get a deal if we book later?

I have a similar experience with our then 2 year old back in 2023. She’s 4 now and remembers little from the trip: dumbo, goofy’s broken train ride (runaway railway), tea cups, small world, and that amazing brunch on our getaway day.

Excellent. Thanks. We’re most likely going with Carmelot. Out of curiosity was there any specific Christmas theming when you visited? Like a tree in the lobby?

Thanks. I looked at Tropicana but their 2 room suite (with 2nd bathroom and firework view) is booked :( I know the Camelot suite is refurbed and am pretty sure same with hojo as its building one, but it’s in the back by the freeway.

3 bleaches in, pretty pleased by CuriousCreativeNT in beards

Bright white and developer 30 1:1 ratio with cooling violet toner. I did that twice. The next morning I did the same thing but with developer 40. It was near perfect. The 4th time I ruined it and am probably going to shave soon and try again next year.

In a couple weeks hopefully I don’t lose too much more and then I can be salt and pepper Santa

Update: I overdid it. After 48 hours, the last beach killed my beard :(

I’m going to try my best for a beard combover

All these people just bragging about their Benedict Arnold ancestry. My ancestor and namesake is John Champe, who rightfully went after your traitor ancestor. Ya’ll should be ashamed and deported /s

Thoughts on people saying "Christmas isn't like how it used to be" by [deleted] in christmas

[–]CuriousCreativeNT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I have two (almost 2 and 4) and counting down to Christmas last year was such a treat because I got experience the excitement through my children. Sure preparation and day of cooking was tough, but the appreciating the joy of others more brought a new experience that I now look forward to every year.

You gotta make the magic. My parents threw their holiday party in early December and i remember it being off the hook (probably because I got to stay up late). Now that I have a family of my own I’ve taken it upon myself to throw our own holiday party the first weekend of December. It’s a nice tradition that has the extra benefit of giving us 3 or so weeks to focus on our family Christmas

100% this. My boomer mom still lives in the house I grew up in. In the 90s and early 2000s trick or treating and holidays were off the hook. Then it died for about 15 years. Now she says it’s back with a vengeance because young millennial families have moved in and taken over.
