I haven’t been to universal in 18 years. My kids aren’t about thrill rides, but love potter. So we thought we’d maybe get a hopper for a day and see what we could.

All right, blue sky, my family is heading to Orlando in June, my kids love the Harry Potter books, but they’ve never been to Universal. Can we do it in a day?

The snow has stopped, but winds will continue for a while. South Dakota… where it was 74° earlier this week, and will be 75° again this Friday, with a blizzard in the middle.

one fucking fish, two fucking fish, red fucking fish, blue fucking fish

My dad and I went a few weeks later, and our favorite attractions were Soarin' and the Mission Tortilla Factory (which we visited many times, because, hey, free tortillas...).

I wonder if someone's tried to make that recipe. There's gotta be someone, right?

And I'll be thinking about gumbo for the rest of my day. mmmm

Wonder why they wouldn't just say andouille sausage.

tens of thousands of Minnesotans protesting against ICE in downtown Minneapolis.

here's today.

that picture is not from today. (grass, leaves on trees, etc)

I’ll restart them both and see. Got a new phone three days ago, realized yesterday that the watch never paired with a new one, but was telling me that it couldn’t unpaired with the original.
I might just be getting too old to do tech stuff. Lol.

Screenshot of Apple being stupid.

Any techy people know how to unpair an Apple Watch from a phone?
I tried and failed. It says “unpair this watch” but it’s red and I can’t click on it

it's not that hard Steven: on the 2nd Saturday of each month the 1st game is televised on either CBS or FOX or NBS or CBS, but if it's the second time slot, it's on Netflix, but only when Amazon Prime doesn't have it and Youtube isn't showing the live version, unless there's an international game...

A traffic circle that is not a circle, but rather a lopsided squished oval ish shape.

Has anyone told Disney that traffic circles are called traffic circles because they’re circles?
(This is west of the Grand Floridian)

At what point are we going to stop saying "roll up the window" in cars... or "hang up the phone"? Are we ever going to change the SAVE icon from a floppy disk to something else?

(People born after the 1900s - ask your elders what these terms originally meant).

I American. What's the funny colored money you're talking about?

Does anyone else get really annoyed with the Coca-Cola ads that are made by AI, don’t look very good, and then have the words “Real Magic” at the end?

Listen to background sound or music? I used to do rain, rain and thunderstorms, and sometimes Russian talk radio (I don't speak Russian).

Just checked in online for my Saratoga Springs reservation… that is in June…

May be a little bit early, but Disney said they’d text me when my room is ready.

Same. Thanks you too!

Just curious - what would you choose (for a family of 7... kids are 3, 8, 10, 12, 14)

7 nights at Bay Lake Tower
9 nights at Old Key West or Saratoga Springs?

The last whole family trip we took was in 2019. I can’t believe it’ll have been 7 years!
We know we’re going, just have to figure out where we’re staying… DVC is starting to fill up.

I officially have two weeks off this summer… so guess who’s heading to Walt Disney World in June?!?!?

A photo of President Nixon giving a speech.

On this date in 1973, Nixon made his famous “I am not a crook” speech… at the Contemporary resort at Walt Disney World!

fantastic show. And also there are Australia and New Zealand seasons as well.

I heard (not confirmed) that they're taking out some Charlie Kirk stuff due to the recent events.

yup. When I was in school in the last 1900s (middle school '95-'98, HS '98-2002), we would dress up like the 1960s, and I remember my mom saying the same thing.

My kids have had 1990s days. that's pretty old school. My wife let the 13 year old borrow some clothes, and her friends all thought she was very cool for having "authentic vintage" clothing.

My 13 year old made Contemporary Resort’s Honey Crunch Cake using a recipe from Disney cookbook I got from a secret Santa last year.

It’s delicious.

Falls Park, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota this morning.

My first buccees experience and it’s a bit overwhelming.
