"What's cookin'?" I inadvertently took some pizza dough out of the freezer yesterday, so I'll make a white pizza with tomatoes from my garden and spinach. As an appetizer, I'm experimenting with making a zucchini and fresh corn fritters.

Sorry I know ya are probably tired of my AP questions. But my plan is next year I want to do little short trips like 3 or 4 days for each Epcot festival. I also have a 7 day trip this October of this year. It's paid for. So would you go ahead and but AP

9:49am by mickeyforlife

collapse thread

Now or wait to first of next year? Thanks

9:49am by mickeyforlife

If you will use AP discount on merch or meals in October, I'd start AP then.

10:26am by evamarie320

I have the free dining for the October trip. The merch would be nice. But don't you have to make park reservations for each day with AP?

10:33am by mickeyforlife

Yes, you do need reservations. They aren't hard to make or get, though. I'd go ahead and upgrade the tickets in your package when you first get to Disney to full advantage of the AP.

10:58am by utang44

Unless you are also taking a longer trip next year in addition to short trips while you'd have the AP, I think you'd struggle to make it work price-wise with several shorter trips.

10:59am by utang44

I think of it this way: If I plan to buy an AP soon, purchasing regular tickets and not using their value toward the AP is kinda like renting a house and "throwing the money away" rather than paying on a mortgage.

11:01am by utang44

Got you. Makes sense. So when I go to check in on my October trip at resort go ahead and talk to them at desk about moving over to AP right?

11:59am by mickeyforlife

You'll upgrade at guest services in the park.

12:11pm by popupcamper

If you're worried about having to make park reservations for your Oct trip after you upgrade to AP, I bet guest services would be able to help with that also.

12:18pm by pkitt

Oh great I was concerned about that. Thanks.

1:17pm by mickeyforlife

Because you mentioned multiple trips for things like festivals you could consider that purchasing for October would give you until October 2027 so you'll get F&W twice. However if you are like me and love F&G more consider waiting until that festival is**

*** is in full swing so you can hopefully go again the following year.

1:28pm by youcanfly

F&G is my favorite festival. Thanks. You guys gave me some things to think about.

1:40pm by mickeyforlife

Remember with an AP, going to WDW is free. Disney math says so

Just saw a Twitter post saying bar stools have been added to the main bar in Beak and Barrel. Kinda ridiculous they weren't there all along. But certainly an improvement.

2:42pm by MOJoe

Quite happy that everyone will be able to sit down now at B&B! I wish they could add stools at Oga's

2:52pm by KLuck

Really is insane this wasn't in the initial design!

3:53pm by carolbahn

Demand must be down. Stools take up more room

At the Poly Tower, can anyone staying at the Tower use the "firework balconies"(dont know the official name), or only those using dvc points?

Wow! Such a late summer. We go back to school next week here.

School ended in very late june for us bec of snow days! Its only midsummer. School doesnt start till sept 10th!

6:57pm on 8/4/26 by Totsypooh

vero beach actually has a bunch of naturalists on staff - they work with the local conservancy to monitor nests - last year we got to join them on an early morning beach walk and did a turtle nest inventory. Counted eggshells and unfortunately the babies

6:59pm on 8/4/26 by Totsypooh

That didnt make it. So many tracks of mommy turtles coming up to lay eggs

6:59pm on 8/4/26 by Totsypooh

Have a great time @Totsy. We go back to school Aug 19 here.

7:14pm on 8/4/26 by cdlla

Have an amazing trip @Totsy!

8:40am on 8/5/26 by TacMed

Isnt it a comfort that no matter where in the world you go, a Mcdonalds french fry tastes exactly the same! And why are Mcflurrys no longer whizzed? My kids know its Disney time when we start to have fast food they rarely get during normal life :p

11:45am on 8/5/26 by Totsypooh

(its not restricted, it just never occurs to us to get it)

11:45am on 8/5/26 by Totsypooh

DD16: What is a Bojangle? Oh look! Wawa! Are we stopping? Can i go inside?

11:53am on 8/5/26 by Totsypooh

Eating our way down the east coast. Waffle House! Buccees jerky and slushies! Wileys Championship BBQ! First Publix sighting!

7:28pm on 8/5/26 by Totsypooh

@Totsypooh. I have never even thought of going there , but I love you can join them with the turtle nest research. Wish all the babies could live!

7:50pm on 8/5/26 by 4wvufans

Yes. Its crazy when you think about their odds. Only 1/1000 make it to adulthood. Last year we found a lone straggler baby make it to the water in cape canaveral. Cheered when it made it. My kids were IN LOVE. Hoping to see more this year!

7:57pm on 8/5/26 by Totsypooh

The journey is the adventure! We love these type of road trip moments, conversations, habits and adventures. Thanks for taking us along. (Pro tip: Bojangles' Cajun Chicken Biscuit is not just for breakfast- it's available all day.)

8:16pm on 8/5/26 by gmcc

How fun! We did a guided kayak tour with a naturalist at Vero. It was amazing. So many birds and also a manatee! And yay to fun road trip food! Check out some of the fun dips at Publix in the deli. Street corn is one of my fave.

7:28am on 8/6/26 by jenc45

Publix is first on the list today! Apparently our hotel is across from one! They love the popcorn chicken. (Yes, the airfryer is ready!)

7:40am on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

One amazing part about the non-park adjacent DVCs is how much they pour into their educational and recreation programs - we have really maxed out these fun extras in the past!

7:42am on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

Popcorn chicken is on BOGO this week, I think!

8:22am on 8/6/26 by utang44

@totsy, you inspired me to get an air fryer for traveling with all your trips! Can't wait to try mine out on our September trip!

8:31am on 8/6/26 by youcanfly

Free orange juice at the welcome center! Publix Popcorn chicken buy1 get1!!! Lots of rain and a humid afternoon. What a wonderful Florida welcome! :)

5:06pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

My kids got 6 boxes of popcorn chicken. One was empty by the time i paid for the groceries. They were THRILLED.

5:07pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

Oh and the things i got for the airfryer: aside from the popcorn chicken - bagels, waffles, steak skewers, fajitas, burritos.

5:09pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

OMG you guys were not kidding. the publix glazed croissants are amazing. Dare I say better than Krispy Kreme!?!

5:45pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

Totally better than Krispy Kreme, if fresh! And may I recommend the sweet and spicy boneless chicken bites that are next to the popcorn chicken containers? There's no going back for me, now that I've tried them.

6:05pm on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

It was a totally fresh mini croissant. Fabulous. Delish.

7:53pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

Psa : the have the MK cheeseburger springrolls here!

11:14pm on 8/6/26 by Totsypooh

Did you say cheeseburger spring rolls? At Publix? That's a game changer!

6:42am by scroogemcduck

I think she means they're at Vero Beach.

7:36am by utang44

The restaurant onsite is really nice to have. Reasonable prices, excellent preparation and super nice servers. Ventured out to get the girls new swimwear and bought a $15 bucket of georgia peaches from two kids on the roadside

OMG dont even talk about turtle soup to my kids. These little turtle babies have them all emotional. They want to save all of them. They showed us a bunch of unhatched ones this morning. It made DD16 so sad.

Mears Connect...15 minute wait, 3 minutes at terminal C...off and running. 3 resorts on this run; SS, OKW, POFQ...13 people in total (including the 4 of us). We got upgraded on the flight, and little wait for Mears...great start so far!

OK, so it's almost midnight on arrival day. We've been up since 3:00 AM to make the flight here. We took our time and got settled in to our room; unpacking our Water Butlers order and our personal belongings.

11:56pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

Lunch at the quick service here at the resort, and the girls had a nap while DW and I went to Disney Springs for free DVC ice cream. Some quick snacks in the DVC lounge and we headed back to the resort. A short bus ride to Epcot for LTWL and Soarin.

11:57pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

We were not fans of the new show, although it was nice to see Patrick still involved. Some supper at connections and then monorail back to MK. We toured around on the people more,, last-minute spot for HEA, bussed back home.

11:59pm on 7/31/26 by goofygardiner

We missed the second bathroom from BLT, but we are figuring out a new routine for this week. Everyone has talked in, and time to sleep. We will see what tomorrow brings.

free DVC ice cream, and then Beef Bolognese at Primo Piatto... yummy.

Someday I will try that beef bolognese!

5:19pm on 8/1/26 by Jennyhirsch

I am wildly jealous of the Primo Piatto meal.

5:26pm on 8/1/26 by utang44

The skies opened up while at Riviera, so we hissed to MK. we shopped for a bit, then hissed back to the resort. The girls have homemade thank you a for cast members, and are enjoying handing them out. A quick snack and off to the pool.

8:14pm on 8/1/26 by goofygardiner

Everyone's tired. So much for Fantasmic. AK rope drop tomorrow? We will see. Good night Liner Nation.

I look for you in the FOP line today, @hodg. It wasn't the same without you.

9:19am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

We got the longest delay I've ever had in the FOP matching chamber. At one point, they had our scans created with bubbles.

9:19am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

That's happened to us before! I wonder if they decide to move a different chamber in front? I always get matched with a guy which I don't care about, but my younger DS always gets matched with a girl, and his older bro drives him nuts about it -tradition.

9:41am on 8/2/26 by Operaml

Lighter is still up at Everest. The weight was 25 minutes, and they told us a single rider might be longer. We took a chance, and got to ride together in the last row with a four minute wait. When we got off, they had closed the single rider line.

9:56am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

Wow... I really have to reread my messages before posting. That last post should have said the single rider line was still up, and the wait was posted as 25 minutes for standby

10:30am on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

I understood it! It was fun, trying to decipher what you voice texted!

After Magic Kingdom for snacks at the DVC lounge, followed by the 3 o'clock parade in frontier land. Go back to Saratoga Springs for free DVC ice cream.

3:18pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

We walked over to Disney Springs to look around, then back to Saratoga Springs for supper at artists palette. We have now claimed seats at Fantasmic. I know it's early, but everything else we want to do has a big wait time.

8:20pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

At Fantasmic, I recognized a CM who was kind back in May. I stopped to tell her how much I appreciated it and Inthiught she was going to cry. She came to find me near the end of the show and gifted me a Fantasmic t-shirt.

10:00pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

I have been amazed how appreciative the CMs are when treated with kindness. We ALWAYS treat them well, but they seem exceptionally appreciative, almost surprised, this trip.

10:02pm on 8/2/26 by goofygardiner

Cast members in tomorrowland are saying space will not be opening this morning.

8:15am on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Friar's Nook for breakfast. We got food and headed over to Pinocchio Village house to eat it. Ross is not yet open, but the doors are unlocked, so we have the entire place to ourselves.

Time for more free ice cream. Perfect timing for a bus to DHS. Our bus arrived seconds after the SS bus, and right across the walkway from our bus. Now back to SS. We could not have had better timing if we had paid for it.

Thousands of dollars annual dues, but some free ice cream seems to make it all worthwhile.

I'm sure many of my fellow liners are shaking their heads at our style of vacation, but after so many visits, it's no longer about the rides.

So, today they had chocolate covered Keylime pie as an option. I think I will be forgoing my afternoon in the park again tomorrow to come back here for more of this!

EMH tonight from 9 till 11. What is the best time to get in line for GOTG? I know that anyone not staying for EMH will get in line at 8:55 PM. Those people should be gone by 10:00 PM, I would think. Am I best to go then, or wait until almost 11?

5:11pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

@goofy im there tonight too. Getting in for about 7.30 SR Remy slowly heading over to GOTG grabbing some snacks as we go. Then I've LL for GOTG. Going to then SR TT and head back over to GOTG. Aiming for it to be about 10 by then.

5:30pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

Sounds like another EEH liner meet in line?

5:35pm on 8/3/26 by hodg

I think 10 will be a good time to head for and then see how long it takes.

5:36pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

@goofy I have extra large gold sequin ears tonight with a yellow dress. If you see me come say hi.

5:39pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

I will watch for you. I am wearing a white button up hundred acre Wood shirt with my usual floppy Safari hat. If you see me, be sure to yell, "dang daddy!"

5:52pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Snacks of the lounge, and snacks from the goofy snack shop. The chicken bites were tasty, but the mac & cheese was only so so. Now it's time to shop around the world.

8:09pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

How are you getting on @goofy? We have been in the SR TT line for 20 minutes now. Feels so busy!

9:38pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

We are also stuck in line for test track. We're in the regular standby line just at the end of the second room. We're standing right in front of the glass wall at DD 19 has no blood sugar when we're taking a rest. This is great example of missing DAS.

9:56pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Looks like it's up and running now. Fingers crossed.

10:02pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

I can finally see the cars.

10:15pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Next in line and...protein spill I love you, Len, but this is not the 35 minute expected wait.

10:31pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Couldn't face GOTG now in line for FEA and we have been sent the wrong way in the line. What a disaster of a night. Don't think I'll be doing these deluxe hours at Epcot again very disappointing and just missed meeting @ goofy too.

10:42pm on 8/3/26 by shopaholicjane

The lineup for guardians are still out the door. We gave up and we're heading back to the resort. It will be a long time before I do EEH at Epcot again. Oh well, I'm still here at Disney with my family. We will get a good nights sleep, reset & go again.

11:09pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

Brunch at Ale & compass tomorrow. We've never been there, but it gets a lot of love here on chat, so we will see.

11:10pm on 8/3/26 by goofygardiner

What's EEH?

1:19pm on 8/4/26 by mickeyforlife

Extra Evening Hours for deluxe resorts

1:37pm on 8/4/26 by burfe1501

How was the brunch at Ale and Compass ? Curious about the change since they got rid of the buffet add on and if you ordered any of the items as sides.

4:09pm on 8/4/26 by tl5

I was disappointed to see the buffet was gone. I got the crabcakes and thought they were OK. DD 19 had the pancakes and enjoyed them. DD 21 had the steak and eggs. She liked the hash they made with her choice at scrambled eggs, but...

11:15pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

... mistake was quite fatty with a significant streak of grizzle. DW had the stuffed French toast and said it was excellent. One of my eggs fell on the floor on the way to the table, and it took a long time for a replacement to arrive.

11:16pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

... I had to ask for it, and by the time it did arrive, the crabcake to go under it was cold. Allen Compass is probably a one and done for us.

11:17pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Ale and Compass.

We then went to the Atlantic dance hall for a DVC character meeting, which turned out to be a DJ hosted dance event. It was probably the highlight of the day. From there, we got DVC suites at Epcot and then Riviera.

11:18pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

These included chocolate covered Keylime pie, which was fantastic. We ended with some shopping on the monorail loop, made it back to the buses before the rain, but during intense lightning. Back to the resort with a bit of drizzle.

11:19pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

DD 21 and I hustled back to DHS for a last-minute Muppet roller coaster, then back home. DD 19 was feeling poorly with her diabetes so she stayed back with DW. Another example of why DAS was such a nice perk for her.

11:21pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Her disability made her miss out on some fun tonight, and having the DAS during the days was a way to make up for some of the time lost due to life's unfairness.

11:22pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Off to bed tonight. We will see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully EEH at MK is more successful than Monday night's at Epcot.

11:23pm on 8/4/26 by goofygardiner

Was it still raining when you went to DHS for the quick RnRC? We missed our LL for slinky last night because of the thunder and lightning, not sure if it ever reopened. On the plus side we got our DD 11 to conquer her fears and ride RNRC! She loved it

9:07am on 8/5/26 by theotrot

It was still sprinkling when we got there, and when we left. We were in the outside portion of the line for about 10 minutes, but easily stayed dry under our umbrellas.

9:53am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

We were up early for DHS rope drop. We made good time, except I forgot to change our park reservations. That slowed us down a few minutes. Two of us still made it to the third switch back for R&R C while the other two went to slinky.

9:55am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

Once the line started moving, we move quickly and were probably in the third pre-show, and quickly on the roller coaster. Slinky was delayed, though, so they called an audible and broke plates instead. a quick meet of Olaf for DD 19.

9:57am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

DD 21 made it to TOT just before the 9 o'clock rush, and we quickly "dropped in" with a great sequence of up and full drops down. One carrot cake cookie later, and we are off to the Riviera to fill drink cups and grab a bus to Animal Kingdom.

9:58am on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

For anyone interested in the cookie dough ice cream brownie at Animal Kingdom, apparently they only start selling them at the discovery island treats stand after 2:00 PM. Before that you have to go to the ice cream location on the way to Africa.

12:37pm on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

This is a "must-do" for DD17 - what is the name of ice cream location on way to Africa. Terra Treats?

1:20pm on 8/5/26 by SplitStayfortheWin

Yes, I believe so. A snack cart between the two stores in discovery Island consistently has a much shorter line, though.

1:46pm on 8/5/26 by goofygardiner

Yep, it's Terra Treats.

1:50pm on 8/5/26 by utang44

I lined up at Terra treats at 10.15 yesterday and I was first in line. 5 minutes later the line was over the bridge.

1:50pm on 8/5/26 by shopaholicjane

Sitting on our patio, watching the lightning storm, we had an interesting revelation last night. We got up early and rope dropped DHS this involved waiting for a half hour or so outside the park, then another 30 minutes'ish for RNRC.

8:38am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

We were then able to ride TOT with very little wait. The second ride definitely seems to be the key advantage of rope dropping. Today, however, we had planned to rope drop GOTG. There wasn't anything else we wanted to ride at Epcot, though.

8:39am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

It occurred to us, but the overall amount of time waiting in line for GOTG would be similar to just going there mid morning. The difference is that arriving in line mid morning is simply arriving in line. Rope dropping requires jostling for position.

8:40am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

I hate that fight for position, so we decided to just sleep in this morning.

8:41am on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

After a crazy day of riding freezing cold buses, soaking wet, the rain appears to finally be stopping at 9:15 PM. DD 21 and I are on a bus to MK. She just grabbed a beak and barrel reservation for 10:50 PM.

9:16pm on 8/6/26 by goofygardiner

Sorry to hear about all the rain @goofy. My weather alerts have been going crazy the last few days for the WDW area. The buses being so cold does not help either. :( Glad to hear about B&B tonight. Have a couple of drinks and enjoy, matey!

9:36pm on 8/6/26 by missWishes

If rain on our last full day is my biggest complaint, all is well on life. DD21 and I had fun at MK. I will definitely go back to B&B when I feel less rushed for time. Tomorrow is go home day, and we must pack in the morning.

12:42am by goofygardiner

Goodnight all.

Thanks for taking us along on your trip.

Goodnight Moon.

7:31am by Fatty McButterpants

The Mears was 1/2 hour late, but we always ask to come earlier than needed. Slightly delayed flight, but no complaints. We have been seated together, and that's really all that matters. See you next time, Mickey.

3:58pm by goofygardiner

MNSSHP question, where does the horseman take off from. Prefer to watch from Frontier. Will I be able to see him if I stake out a spot in Frontierland? Does he ride for both parades? Tia

2:17pm by Eeyores Pal

As I understand it he takes the whole Boo to You parade route, so you should catch him in Frontierland. That being said, I've always watched from hub so hopefully someone else with FL view info confirms. :)

3:32pm by JJT (staff)

I saw him in Frontierland last year.

3:55pm by TumbleMonkeys

How intense is FOP for someone who does not like heights or roller coasters. I'm trying to talk myself into riding it for my daughter who has been wanting to try it. Context- I don't like slinky- and tolerate 7D.

6:31am on 8/6/26 by Figment20

collapse thread

It isn't a coaster, so yay! You sit on a motorcycle-like vehicle, it rocks a bit, there's a fan that blows air on your face, and you can close or avert your eyes and not look at the giant screen if you feel funny!

6:38am on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

I hate virtual reality rides and get motion sickness, but I can survive FoP by looking at the other vehicles and stuff around me and not at the screen. The air blowing in my face helps.

6:40am on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

100% agree with Jenny - just look away from screen if/when you feel funny. I love looking around at all the other riders - you can see the other rooms (not just your own).

7:09am on 8/6/26 by DEmouseFan

How are you in IMAX? The heights "feel" high at times but you are not high at all. That gives a weird sensation. In addition to what others said- the mechanism that holds you on the bike can be slightly uncomfortable. But it is worth it! Amazing ride!!

7:19am on 8/6/26 by jenc45

Illusions of height I think I'm ok. Does the bike not actually leave the floor?

7:39am on 8/6/26 by Figment20

Correct. Don't look down though. Look straight ahead.

7:55am on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

The bikes do not leave the floor, but the whole floor of bikes will move up and down a couple of feet during the ride.

8:47am on 8/6/26 by mkmuzzy

Ok interesting so the floor moves but it won't look like I'm up high if I looked down. Thanks everyone! I'm sure she will love it- who knows maybe i will too. I'll report back if i brave the ride.

9:03am on 8/6/26 by Figment20

Ok my first time on it- I knew it was about 4 min long, I had 2 ginger chews and counted in my head so I knew how long. I had my eyes closed for most of it and I was fine lol

9:17am on 8/6/26 by Gusgus5

Haha- Thanks Gus! I'm sure I'll feel the same. How were the restraints?

10:30am on 8/6/26 by Figment20

Imagine 10 motorbikes screwed onto a giant cookie sheet & the cookie sheet tilts forward and back. Then imagine 3 of these cookie sheets stacked above each other on 3 levels in front of a giant Imax screen. Like the 3 levels of Soarin in front of 1 screen

11:31am on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

It might be 2 levels. Now I can't remember. I get fascinated by the engineering and look around. But to be fair, it isn't always gentle movement. Sometimes you are supposedly diving down like a falcon. I ignore the screen at those moments and look at my .

11:33am on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

It definitely will look high if you look out and down. If you look straight down by your side no. Soarin is a great comparison. Can you do that?

1:15pm on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

SPOILER ALERT: Here's an instagram reel that shows the other Banshees and how high they look. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DDnK8M7JTsb/

1:22pm on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

There are three levels.

1:40pm on 8/6/26 by Elaine5715

Give yourself a little buffer when the restraints are closed and you will hopefully be ok!

1:46pm on 8/6/26 by Gusgus5

My parents don't do roller coasters they are 80 and 78 they love flight of passage

1:52pm on 8/6/26 by WorldTraveler34

They also won't do slinky or 7d or guardians

1:52pm on 8/6/26 by WorldTraveler34

Okay thanks everyone- honestly fascinating how it works. And no I haven't talked myself onto soarin yet. I'm okay saying I am a ride wimp and really just love people mover lol.

3:54pm on 8/6/26 by Figment20

@Figment, you can also hang out and wait with DD in line all way in to vehicles and then not ride. I've seen parents escort kid to vehicle, then continue walking thru room to exit door on other side.

4:02pm on 8/6/26 by Jennyhirsch

It's more intense than Soarin. My mom can do Soarin but not FOP.

4:04pm on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

But Soarin actually lifts you high above the floor. So if heights is the issue I'd say FoP is easier.

Thank you! This community is great. Appreciate all the responses.

5:28pm on 8/6/26 by Figment20

It's an interesting conundrum. Let us know what you decide @Figment!

6:08pm on 8/6/26 by popupcamper

I have a fear of heights and yet FOP and Soarin are two of my favorite rides!

3:29pm by melissa55

I have left my note in page 71 of the Bible. Hopefully, someday one of you will find it.

12:55pm by goofygardiner

Awwww, I always forget. Hope you had a fantastic trip!
