A Great Idea

Well, I think its a great idea. I was reading on some things on PassPorter.com and someone had an idea that I think I will add to my packing. The room water to me isn't that great... but its tolerable. I like to refill my water bottles or have a refillable cup. Jane's idea was to take a faucet adapter type water filter like Brita.  Take the adapters in the package with you, along with the filter, drop it in a plastic bag. Attach it to the room's faucet (like in the kitchen or on the little bar in the studios). You can refill your bottles easily and have better tasting water in your room... if you consider that each water bottle is $2.50 each, times whatever number you are buying for your traveling party. Even if you add a flavor pack to the water because you do not like the taste in general, it will save you in the long run especially on the Hot and Humid summer days we have in Florida.

* Update: When I was at WDW this past weekend, I stayed in both BCV and BLT. Neither faucet seemed to have the removeable end. I would need to look at the adaptor of the Brita filter to see if it would work. (PUR is my preference, as I do not like Brita's taste.) Also, my niece had a bottle that had a built in filter. Love it as I used them myself recently.

A Time Honored Tradition Ends

I remember my sister getting ready to go to Walt Disney World for Grad Night in 1982. I couldn't wait to go! I thought how cool it would be to go and have the Magic Kingdom into the middle of the night. Hearing stories of things that happend each year that others went before my time. Finally, in 1986, it came.

This has been a tradition for Florida high school seniors for almost 40 years. Traveling from all over the state and even from out of state to have a night with fellow seniors. This year is the last of the events. Disney released a statement saying basically, that with the increase of park attendence, that it is hard for them to shut the park down early for an event like this. They have offered an alternative though to Florida school groups. They can get a 1 day, 1 park ticket for any time in the year for $55. The difference here though, the park isn't going to be open to just these kids anymore with special concerts, dance parties and unlimited rides.
