Quote from Devilmomma :
40% is a lot to save. How far is this place from Disney? You have to take that into consideration too. It might not be easy to just leave the park and go back to the hotel room for a break when everyone's getting tired.

Also factor in the price for parking at Disney. I'm sure it's a ridiculous amount. If you are close enough that you can leave and come back, do you have to pay again?

And...do you really want to cook on your vacation?

Just some things to consider when weighing the pros and cons. Smilie
1) 2 miles
2) $10 per day but I saw they offer shuttle service and dont have to pay again if you come back
3) ehhh cook? Well maybe just breakfast and eat at the parks. THAT I can budget!

I knew I liked you for another reason than your coupon envies. Haven't had it in 2.5 years. Not missing anything. Will probably succumb when DS goes to school but that's 5 years out, think of the savings till then.

Do you have a good antenna or do you just not watch tv? Ours is this amazing huge thing on our roof with it's own remote.

Wow I am sooo jealous. My dh has to have Direct TV and it cost us nearly $90 a month. And to think I keep doing without my gym membership and just work out at home. What kind of antenna do you have? I don't know if we could have a huge one in our neighborhood. We had to check with the dish???? Dumb HOA!!!!

It's some special thingie-don't even ask me, my hubby's with the media and worked something out. It's gigantic, definitely wouldn't go over for you

Was trying to sleep but can't. Debating on whether or not to return this FP kitchen:

Pros-stormy likes it, it's cute, I didn't really pay for it since I used GC
Cons-probably should have bought it 6 months ago to get most use out of it, LR part really doesn't do much, I had to pay almost full price for it at the non coupon friendly store, the Step2 ones would really last a lot longer I think

PS-get the flashcards, they are awesome. My kid throws everything but he will throw them and then help me by putting them in a pile. Won't do that with anything else. and actually pays attention until about halfway through

I don't have cable either, and have no plans to get it. I have a big screen TV, and I use it to watch all the current movies, which I rent from the library.

Be sure to get your federal coupons for the digital signal converter. The coupon is for $40, and the digital converters run about $50 at Wal-Mart. Has anyone gotten one yet and tried it out? I'd like to know if it improves the signals I get now. If so, I'd go ahead and get it.

I asked this question once before, with no results: Does anyone know if there's a printable Home Depot or Lowe's coupon? I need a new kitchen faucet...

Here's one if you use Visa:

Probably don't even really have to use Visa w/it, but YMMV.

You don't have to use visa. We use it at home depot every trip

Bronc-we got the converter from BB, see no major difference on the basement TV. We don't need it for upstairs TV's as they have whatever they need built in. Hubby watches it all the time when he's down there working and I still see fuzz. But that's me and I only walk by on my way to Target.

Only got it at BB cause I had a GC there. We only needed one so it worked for us

Ok here it is Stormy's toy list, or how Ryan is spoiled, lol

So keep in mind Ryan is 15 months

Here are the absoloute favorites, that he plays with every day. I am kind of just looking around my Living rm seeing what he likes. Only somethings I got at Target.

FP Laugh and Learn house (got mine from Craigslist)
FP Laugh and Learn Kitchen (clearance at Wmart)
FP Peek a Block (its a 4 sided center thing and had smaller blocks) Craiglist
Playskool Discovery Dome tent, not sure where I got this, but he plays in it all the time.
Parents ACtivity cube 49.99 Target. I got it w overages, and it has a high resale value on Craigslist


Ok now toys in his room
FP stacking cups, these are like half circles, and then you can build them all different ways. Target
Parents Bristle blocks, green container. Target-29.99, expensive but fun, I enjoy playing with them.
Nesting blocks-?
FP little people anything! We have all the sets I think. Most are put up on his shelf, but he does love playing with them.
Sesame Street flascards-Target 8.99. These are his absoloute favorite thing, we use them every night and they are very sturdy.
FP roll arounds tree house, Toys R us. I got thsi really cheap on Black Friday and he loves this thing, it has balls that spin around, and you can drop them in the holes and they come out different spots
Puzzles, any kind, loves them, Target
Tonka soft trucks, these get a lof of play too, Target 3.99
Fp play phone
FP pots and pans
Playskool bust ball? where I got them. They have different textures and sounds
Books, loves loves loves them! I think I have several hundred.


Other toys in various places in my house and van
Leap Frog Fridge Farm pals - Target
Leap Frog Fridge Phonics, has differnent letters and they pronounce the letters and the sounds

The above are very helpful, when I am trying to make lunch, he plays with them and I cook

In the van

Parents Cell Phone
Parent Keys set

He just loves these, he is running his cell bill up pretty quick, lol


Things we dont like:
Playskool walker thingie, its green and is funky looking, he has never played with it. Target
FP Laugh and Learn chair, the volume is so low on it, and had very limited activities
Tonka ride on truck, doesnt like it at all, but likes his Elmo one
FP toolbox, got bored with it
Playskool Busy Ball popper, scared him to death., He was litterally shaking with fear

Ok I know there are more I am forgetting. But I am not in his room right now and my brain is fried. I serioulsy have enough for a toy store. I also have a good amt of stuff saved for his 2nd, 3rd and 4th birthdays and Christmases. I have all of the Take along Thomas sets that Target, retailing over $500.00. Plus I have a bunch more little people, puzzles, books, Leap Frog, V Tech . I also have over 75 Dvd's for him too.

He is serioulsy spoiled, and really cute too!

I will have to think of other stuff we have around here, I know we have more.

Will you make up your mind about the damned kitchen woman! We played with it tonight again. I will probably buy him a big kitchen too at some point. I only paid 35 for it, so it was a great price, and I could get 25 or more if I sold it on Craigslist

My kid loves the activity cube, absolutely adores it. Grandma bought it for him for the holidays, $ well spent

But he loves the ball popper and chair too. Don't forget guys, stormy has great lists but YMMV for every kid.
The keys and cell phone are fantastic, highly recommend. You have to buy with overages, there's no ETQ


I'll be investigating those bristle blocks, I've walked by them a few times.

Right but he's had it for a while. I think this one will get bored with it fast and I'm better off buying him one of those step2 kitchens for 2yo. target.com has them, thinking of asking my mom to do it for me, I don't like the idea of target knowing where I liveLMAO

can't decide, going to bed. will see what hubby wants to do tomorrow
