No official ban, but teachers at my son’s middle school don’t allow students to have them in class. They need to be in a locker or turned in to the teacher before class starts.

They’re allowed to have them at lunch, but my son and his friends don’t take them. They all agreed not to because they wanted to spend time together.

I went to WDW for the Wine and Dine Two Course Challenge.
Friday was travel day.
Saturday- 10k, with a PR
Sunday- 13.1 with mild regret. I stopped for 6 or 7 character photos and it hit me around mile 12.5 that I could have had a MAJOR PR if I hadn't stopped. I hadn't planned on having as strong of a day as I did. Oh well! I had a great time.

We have Fiesta. They are heavy, but they hold up well. We've never had anything chip or break from daily use/wear and tear. We've lost a few pieces over the years from being dropped on hard concrete outdoors, but it's otherwise pretty durable.

The weight was never an issue for us with our son, but we have a variety of dish sizes and would choose smaller bowls for him than us.

It's why I have my own fridge in my office. I got tired of my food disappearing.

There was one day where I left a drink in my fridge. I opened my fridge the next day and it was gone but I'm sort of scatterbrained and thought maybe I hadn't left it there after all. Came in the next day to two drinks in my fridge and my favorite candy bar. The night custodian sheepishly admitted to needing a caffeine fix and snagging my soda, then replacing it with two plus candy the next evening to pay me back. Wasn't even mad about that one!

I'm pretty sure they just print out a bunch on a sheet of sticker paper and then cut them up. 

I have spent the entire day watching YouTube videos about packing cubes thanks to this thread.

We use Lyft. Our time is more valuable to us than the free transportation. ME can be hit or miss. I've had trips where we walk right on a bus and it departs moments later and we're the first hotel stop... and I've had experiences where it took 2.5 hours door to door.

Orlando is supposed to be one of the cities where Uber Car Seat is available, but I don't have experience with it.

You can still make them, but you may not get the luggage tags. If that's the case, you'll have to retrieve your own bags from baggage claim to take to the bus.

The Electrical Water Pageant around 7 Seas Lagoon is also fun to watch.

We'll hit up the mini golf sometimes. Winter Summerland has a cute theme.

Yessss. and the the next part is "but I"

Thanks to the long time lurker who sent the book "The Night Santa Got Lost." We live in an area with a high military population, so they love when we talk about NORAD.

I will probably purchase these. I'm doing the Wine and Dine half marathon weekend and had planned to skip the parks because the ticket prices were hard to justify for a half day. This is a more reasonable option.

Amazon just delivered a stack of boxes and I am so grateful. We were impacted heavily by some recent events, and morale has been low. I love my job, and your kindness has been much needed and so very appreciated. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I want running shorts with real pockets that are somewhat affordable. Not those bullshit "might hold a house key" size pockets, either.
