I completely understand that one!!! I actually have a village that I set up for Halloween one year and meant to leave it through Christmas then take it down. I liked it so much, it stays all year now. :) :jack:

I just saw a play set of Villains figurines at DL a couple of weeks ago (and I am now kicking myself for not getting them :? ) that would fit right into my village! I think I'm going to have to see if they can be ordered another way.

Don't they have that number you can call and order things from the park? I know WDW has one, so I'm sure DL has one as well!

When you take the back roads of WDW to get errands done quicker.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”
― Dr. Seuss

Well, it depends on where I have to go. I rent movies a lot but the closest Blockbuster to me is closer to Universal. If they don't have a movie I'm looking for, the next closest one is on 192/535. Easiest and quickest way to get there is by taking World Drive to Epcot Center Drive/536. Same with the second closest Walmart. But most of the time I just go north of WDW and the major tourist traveled roads. :D

Do you get caught in traffic a lot during the high seasons? I always thought it would be fun to live so close you can pop in and out for day trips when you have time, but I never thought about the hassle that comes from living in a tourist-y town...

Like I said, it depends on where I have to go. If it's the grocery store, then I have a Publix 2-3 miles north of WDW. There is also a Target, Best Buy, Walmart and lots of places to eat that are nowhere near any of the touristy areas. Anyone who has been on I-4 has probably seen the Walmart a little west of the highway between Universal and Seaworld but wonders how the heck to get there. That is the Walmart I frequent because there are hardly any tourists to deal with.

I live so close that the funniest thing I've seen was a RV/Camper towing a car parking in the entrance to the apartment complex I live in because it got lost trying to find Fort Wilderness.

When your DW is munching a piece of toast, and when she sets it down you say, "hey, that's shaped exactly like the Tree of Life!"

Not at all, Bro! I was just reminded of Dorothy by what someone else said, and it made an interesting mental picture! :mrgreen:

I'm sure your slippers are a different color... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
