They asked me at the insurance office the other day when we were adding my "new" car (aka the car my parents bought for me in high school, but have kept on their insurance until now to keep their premiums down

). I didn't have a clue - my husband had to answer for me!

It's a good thing you didn't blurt out the mileage to WDW ~ your premiums would have taken a real hike


Yeah, I wasn't tempted to say that! Though in my defense, my odometer doesn't work, so it would be hard for me to know how far I travel to work.

Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

What are they putting in the location of the old handicap parking?
And where are these handicap spots we are talking about?

DHS used to have better located handicap spots years ago before they changed around its parking lot, and then there's EPCOT. EPCOT had a separate lot for handicap up near entrance; then they moved it further back into the main lot with the other parking. With the original lot at EPCOT, you have a covered walk area that you could pull the car up to if it was raining, now with it being in the main lot you got to get soaked getting to the car. Now you may think, "Well, that's fair because everyone else gets soaked if its raining when they walk back to their cars" except that many insurance companies and medicare will only approve and pay for baseline scooters and electric wheelchairs - and those models aren't waterproof.

That's better than I can do. I love that phrase but just can't quite get it to roll off my tongue fluently

Fancyfeet: they do actually sell at WDW T-shirts that say "Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas". I remember somebody posted pics of them previously here on Subsonic.

I say "perfectly" but I could be totally faking it! And even that took some practice!

Last year, my brother, sister in law, friend and I all bought the Por Favor shirts and wore them to the MK on the same day. We usually aren't "that family" but decided the shirts were so fun we just had to!

I usually just sort of chuckle when I see the families with all matching shirts, but if I saw all of you with your Por Favor shirts, that would make me really start laughing!

Um... How do you get any better than inside the bus loop which is the closest parking to the security check and entrance?

And the question would be: Did you get the one with Sleeping Beauty Castle from DL or the one with the four icons from WDW?

I sooooo wanted that shirt but at the time they only had XL and XXL. Let's just say that would not work. I did ask my mom to buy it for me and she said "But it's in Spanish"

Yeah...that had me so upset with the original shirts...and is why I did not buy them initially. Once they changed it I bought one and love wearing it around.
Now I can't wait to wear it down at WDW!

I'm going to have to go home and look now, but I definitely got it at WDW. If I remember correctly, i think it had a picture of the monorail in red?? Then the next year they came out with another one with a different picture on it that included some of the characters.

They sold both versions at WDW and both said Walt Disney World.
