FLINT, Michigan -- Superintendent Linda Thompson's evaluation is in for the 2008-09 school year and board members, including her brother, overall were pleased with her performance.
Thompson, who was named interim superintendent in May 2007 and offered the permanent job in December that year, received an overall rating of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, about halfway between the 4.0 rating of "excellent" and the 2.5 rating of "satisfactory."
Board of Education members tonight approved accepting Thompson's evaluation with no discussion.
Just six of the nine board members participated in the formal evaluation because three -- David Davenport, Betty Ramsdell and Jerome Threkeld -- were not board members for the entire 2008-09 evaluation period. Those three board members were elected in May 2009.
"I'm happy with it. I work hard," said Thompson, the first woman to lead the district, after the meeting. "The staff works hard. The board has shown they appreciate the work we do."
Unlike last year when he sat out on evaluating Thompson, Fred Bashir, Thompson's brother, participated this year, confirmed Kendall Williams, board attorney.
Bashir told The Flint Journal in October that he passed on evaluating Thompson last time because he knew some people would say that he is her boss.
Bashir and five other board members are the subject of a recall attempt led by fellow board member Davenport for "allowing violation of school policy No. 5230 'Placement of Relatives.' It clearly says, 'In no event will a relative supervise the work of a relative.'"
The board had its first reading on a revised Placement of Relatives policy tonight, that if adopted, would require a majority vote by the board on whether a family member could supervise the superintendent, Williams said.
And that policy would be good only going forward, he said.
The board could use Thompson's evaluation next month as it considers a contract renewal or extension for the superintendent, Williams said.
Thompson's current three-year contract, inked in June 2008, goes through the 2010-11 school year.
If the board does nothing in March, Thompson's contract automatically will renew for one more school year, Williams said.
She is earning $166,000 this school year and will earn $171,800 in the 2010-11 school year.
Her highest average scores of 3.5s came in three areas of achieving specific goals: facilities, improving student performance and completing development of a district strategic plan by June 2009.
Thompson's lowest average score of a 3.0 came in the area of her relationship with the board that covers things such as keeping the board informed and working with the board to establish goals for the future.
Thompson said she will review the evaluation and look for areas where she can improve.

Teenagers are normally frowned upon when they are caught smoking – not in Glen Dawson's case!
The 16-year-old has been recruited at a smokehouse in Seahouses as an apprentice in the ancient process of smoking fish, with the help of Northumberland College.
In March 2014, Swallow Fish started looking for a suitable candidate to help grow the business and keep the artisan skills alive.
Glen, from Beadnell near Seahouses, left school in June and started his apprenticeship with Swallow Fish in July.
He is following a two-year Level 2 Performing Manufacturing Operations Apprenticeship, which will enable him to gain a qualification while learning the skills of this traditional trade.
Husband and wife team, Patrick and Karen Wilkin, who own and run the smokehouse, decided to recruit an apprentice to help expand their business and reach new markets.
It will provide Glen with hands-on experience of the whole production experience, including skills such as unloading freshly caught fish and shellfish, splitting, lighting fires, smoking, curing and slicing, as well as the business aspects such as mail order, retail, wholesale and customer service.
Karen said: "Our apprentice will gain an abundance of experience in all aspects of the business.
"It is a rare opportunity for someone to learn unique skills and develop a career in a niche market, while learning transferable skills that can be applied to other manufacturing roles."
Once Glen has completed his apprenticeship he will have all the skills needed to work with fresh fish and shellfish, and in the traditional smokehouses.
Glen said: "I'm pleased to have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working towards a qualification."

Most passengers had taken the Denali pretrip, but we did not. We usually see enough wildlife off the ship, but this cruise we only saw 1 whale once. (One of the naturalists who boarded for the glacier talk remarked that the seal population has been halved. I wonder if it is due to all these ships invading their habitat?)
The ship was clean, the cabin was quiet and well-kept, but the on-board activities severely lacking. One night the entertainment was the waiters singing ON THE STAGE as a show! How cheap!
When we cruise, we expect a floating resort, not a boat to take us to expensive helicopter tours! Haines was a complete waste of time and the weather was so bad we did not stop at Ketchikan, a big disappointment since I have enjoyed that port before.
They advertised a Foodie Trivia game and no staff came to run the game. The other "games" they ran were just as disorganized.
The ultimate insult was that you paid $11.00/day tips which were to be distributed TO THE ENTIRE CREW! Why should I be tipping the baker and the guy who does the laundry? My husband was a baker for years and no one ever gave him a tip! He was paid a salary, as the crew and staff of the Statendam should be paid.
Needless to say, we will not be sailing with Holland America again.

MORGANTOWN - Bob Hummell was an outstanding 6-foot-3, 190-pound basketball guard at West Virginia University in 1968-69-70.
The Moundsville native played two years for Bucky Waters and one for Sonny Moran. He's now residing with wife Charlotte in Goldsboro, Ga.
Asked whether he enjoyed his years at WVU, Hummell replied, "Absolutely! Yeah, I'm a West Virginia boy and I'm a West Virginian at heart.
Article Photos
"When I was in Moundsville High School, I made it out pretty well. I could have gone to a lot of different places, but for some reason I just decided on West Virginia.
"But I don't regret having made that decision. I wish I could have scored a few more points or won a few more games. But that just wasn't in the cards."
Hummell said people in West Virginia are "very, very special" and he appreciated their support during his four years at WVU. Hummell played a year on the freshman team, as required during that period by the NCAA.
For his three varsity seasons, Hummell played in a total of 79 games and logged an average of 31.3 minutes per contest.
He made 420 field goals in 1,017 attempts and 290 of 310 free throws, for 1,117 points. His scoring average per game was 14.1.
Hummell also had 345 rebounds and 220 assists.
His career highs included 32 points against Syracuse in a 94-84 win on Feb. 14, 1970. He had 10 field goals in that shootout. Thirteen free throws was his career high in 15 tries against East Carolina on Nov. 30, 1968.
"My life has been very good," he said. "I've been very blessed in so many ways."
After graduating in May 1970, Hummell was a teacher and basketball coach at Martinsburg High School for five years. He made a lot of friends in the Eastern Panhandle, where his wife had grown up.
Then Hummell started a "very, very rewarding and satisfying" 32-year career with a worldwide company in by-products and chemicals. He said, "I traveled for them and held a variety of positions with them."
He noted that it was about a $12 billion firm. He has been retired since November of 2007.
Hummell now spends his free time in the Southeast "playing a little golf and doing some fishing."
Bob and his wife, the former Charlotte Buzzard, have been married since 1970. They were Moundsville High sweethearts.
She is also a WVU alumnus.
They have two sons, Brian, 38 and David, 34. Both are college graduates. The Hummells also have four grandchildren.

Stop Dog Jumping Up On People
You can teach your dog to stop jumping up on people if this is a behavioral problem he has developed. However, before you begin to rid him of this issue you first need to think about when and how it started. For instance, did you allow or encourage your puppy to jump up when they greeted you or when you played? Although you're intentions might not have been to make your pup think that jumping up is acceptable, this is exactly what has happened.
Knowing why your pooch jumps is the first step because it makes you aware of the roll you've played in his development of this behavior.

Stop Puppy Biting
Filed under Dog Problems Solved!, Puppy Care
You'll want to stop puppy biting as soon as it starts to prevent your dog from thinking this type of behavior is acceptable. It is natural for puppies to freely and frequently use their mouths on anything and everyone they come in contact with. This is because it is through their taste and their teeth they learn and experience. Biting is also how they communicate, play and test their fellow litter mates. However, even if this is part of their instincts, that doesn't mean you should allow it.
You can stop puppy biting by putting one or more of the following techniques into practice.
Yelp – As soon as your puppy's teeth come in contact with your skin give a sharp, high-pitched cry of pain and quickly snatch your hand away. Read more
How To Stop Barking Dogs
Teaching a dog how to stop barking is something that many owners want to achieve. A pooch that is consistently making noise can be very annoying to you, your family members, your guests and your neighbors. Therefore, it is something you need to have control over.

There are a number of reasons why canines bark, and believe it or not, very rarely is the reason just to frustrate you. Usually your pet is attempting to communicate something, such as he…
- Hears or sees something out of the ordinary – alerting you to unusual sounds or sights.
- Is afraid – reacting in defense
- Is bored – Attempting to amuse himself Read more
How To Stop Aggressive Dog Behavior
Aggressive dog behavior is difficult to deal with and train out of your pet once it has already developed. It is far easier to prevent aggression in your pooch than deal with the aftermath once it exists. Therefore, as soon as you welcome your puppy or the full-grown canine you have adopt into your home, you need to begin your prevention plan.
Here's what you need to do in order to deter aggressive dog behavior:
Socialize your pet – Don't keep him cooped up in the home. Introduce him to the outside world Read more

The climate in Wyoming is semi-arid, with local desert conditions. Wyoming weather is cool, dry, and windy in comparison to most of the United States. Much of this is due to the topography of the state.
Summers in Wyoming are warm with July high temperatures averaging between 85 °F (29°C) and 95 °F (35°C) in most of the state. With increasing elevation; however, this average drops rapidly with locations above 9000 feet averaging around 70 °F (21°C). Summer nights throughout the state are characterized by a rapid cool down with even the hottest locations averaging in the 50-60 °F (10-14°C) range at night. In most of the state, the late spring and early summer is when most of the precipitation tends to fall. Winters are cold, but are variable with periods of sometimes extreme cold interspersed between generally mild periods, with Chinook winds providing unusually warm temperatures in some locations. Precipitation is highly dependent on elevation with lower areas in the Big Horn Basin averaging 5-8 inches (125 - 200 mm) making the area a true desert. The lower areas in the North and on the eastern plains typically average around 10-12 inches (250-300 mm), making the climate there semi-arid. Some mountain areas do receive a good amount of precipitation, 20 inches (510 mm) or more, much of it as snow, sometimes 200 inches (5 meters) or more annually. The record low temperature, 66°F (54°C), was set 9 February 1933 at Riverside; the record high, 114°F (46°C), 12 July 1900 at Basin.
The climate of any area in Wyoming is largely determined by its latitude, altitude and local topography. When put together, these factors have a lot to do with airflow patterns, temperature variations, precipitation and humidity brought in by the weather systems that migrate eastward. In winter, Wyoming is often beneath the jet stream, or north of it, which accounts for its frequent strong winds, blasts of arctic air and precipitation, all the necessary ingredients for great snow conditions at Wyoming's northwestern ski areas. In summer, the jet stream retreats northward to somewhere over Canada, leaving the state's weather mild and pleasant at a time when the majority of Wyoming's visitors choose to arrive. Jackson, located at 6,230 feet above sea level and surrounded by mountains, can expect a high temperature in July of 80? F. The average is more likely to be 65? F. The closest National Weather Station (in Lander on the other side of the Wind River Mountains at 5,563 feet) reports slightly warmer July weather.
Weather and topography in Wyoming have more contrast than in most other states. Surface elevations range from the summit of Gannett Peak in the Wind River Mountains, at 13,804 feet, to the Belle Fourche River Valley in the states northeast corner, at 3,125 feet. Severe weather is not uncommon in Wyoming, with the state being one of the leading states for hail damage in the United States. The number of thunderstorm days vary across the state with the southeastern plains of the state having the most days of thunderstorm activity. Thunderstorm activity in the state is highest during the late spring and early summer. The southeastern corner of the state is the most vulnerable part of the state to tornado activity. Moving away from that point and westwards, the incidence of tornadoes drops dramatically with the west part of the state showing little vulnerability. Tornadoes, where they occur, tend to be small and brief, unlike some of those which occur a little further east.

Family: Do you have your own dialect?
According to Teri Harman, author of the article "Does your family have their own dialect?", families tend to have their own unique way of speaking to each other.
Ranging from made-up words to accents, family communication is something developed by and used by families. Other manifestations are nicknames, quotes or private jokes.
Coming into any family, whether as a close family friend or in-law, requires diligent study to keep up with the conversation and understand the private references.
Only when you understand what's flying around the dinner table, are you considered a full member of the inner circle.
What it boils down to is that the family unit tends to be a close-knit social group, and like any other social group, it adopts its own rites and customs, and "how to speak'" is one of them.
These nicknames and private jokes are unique, special and often bizarre. However, they are an essential part of what makes a family a family.
Does your family have its own family "dialect"? What family nicknames do you have? Do you use different words? Did your secret language pass through the generations? Let us know in the comments below.

THE approval of the "secrecy bill" by the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Thursday does not signify the end of the battle for further changes to the bill, with the Democratic Alliance (DA) vowing to continue the fight when the bill returns to the National Assembly.
DA parliamentary leader Lindiwe Mazibuko, DA chief whip Watty Watson and DA member of the NCOP Alf Lees MP told a news conference on Friday that they would lobby African National Congress (ANC) members in the National Assembly to make further changes to the Protection of State Information Bill.
The party's strategy would also include petitioning President Jacob Zuma to refer the bill to the Constitutional Court and, failing that, to get 134 opposition MPs to sign a petition referring it to the court as provided for in the constitution.
Mr Lees told the conference that during the deliberations on the bill in the ad hoc committee, the DA had pushed for the inclusion of a series of amendments, including:
• A public interest defence;
• A strengthened public interest override;
• The removal of clause 1(4) which would allow the bill to trump the Promotion of Access to Information Act;
• A sufficiently limited definition of "national security";
• A review of sections pertaining to almost all offences (such as the possession and disclosure of classified information);
• The removal of all minimum sentences;
• The removal of valuable information; and
• The removal of provincial archives.
He acknowledged that some important changes were made in the NCOP. "However, these proposals did not go far enough. The absence of a strengthened public interest defence clause in this bill will endanger whistle-blowers of corruption and wrongdoing," Mr Lees said.
"While it is important to have legislation that seeks to classify some state information, this bill will effectively enable government to hide corruption and other information it deems embarrassing".
Ms Mazibuko said "The DA will lobby ANC MPs across the floor and urge them to make the necessary changes to ensure that Parliament is not undermined by passing unconstitutional legislation.
"It is in these important negotiations that the Congress of South African Trade Unions must end its hypocrisy and instruct MPs aligned to it in Parliament to assist us in making these vital changes.
"If this does not happen and all mechanisms available to us in Parliament have been exhausted, the DA will petition the president under section 79 of the constitution to refer the bill — after it is passed in the National Assembly — to Parliament for reconsideration of its constitutionality.
"Should the president abdicate his constitutional responsibilities and sign this problematic bill into law, the DA will, through the Multi Party Forum, lobby MPs from other parties to join our petition to refer the law directly to the Constitutional Court as provided for in section 80 of the constitution."

Buried in the road to cost reduction for the federal government, in Section 227 of the House Subcommittee on Appropriations Bill for Fiscal Year 2013, is a plan to defund the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
If this bomb goes off undetected, the nation will lose its greatest source for funding research on health-care quality, effectiveness, and patient safety.
AHRQ funds the studies and systematic reviews that objectively evaluate how well clinical procedures, quality approaches, and consumer satisfaction work.
But AHRQ's approximately $400 million annual budget does more than pay for studies. It helps fund what has been the missing link of American health care: what treatments work best and how errors can be prevented.

Our View: Sambroak for Erie County judge
The Erie Times-News Editorial Board endorses Republican candidate Bob Sambroak, first assistant Erie County district attorney, for Erie County judge. Sambroak will bring his experience in the DA's office to the bench. He also displays the right temperament to be a judge -- the ability to listen thoughtfully and yet be candid and straightforward.
"I've been in front of enough bad judges," he said, promising not to tolerate rude behavior by anyone in the courtroom. "The issue is how are you going to treat people. That's what I've given a lot of thought to."
He said the new Erie County judge, who will replace retiring Judge Michael Dunlavey, is likely to be assigned to Family Court. Sambroak said he is familiar with most types of cases that would be heard in that venue. "If I don't know something, I know where to look," he said.
Sambroak and Bill Kelly Jr., his opponent, are registered Republicans. In the primary, they cross-filed on the Republican and Democratic ballots, which judicial candidates are permitted to do because a judgeship is a nonpartisan office. Sambroak won the Republican nomination and Kelly won the Democratic nomination.
In an Erie County Bar Association poll, Sambroak and Kelly both earned "recommended" ratings by local lawyers. The poll shows that voters can choose from two strong candidates on Nov. 5. In addition to lawyers, judges also deal with citizens -- suspects, jurors, witnesses and people entangled in messy family situations. Sambroak is well-suited for that job. Raised by a single mom in a housing project, he worked at a South Dakota Indian mission after law school graduation. He stays on top of local issues by attending Neighborhood Watch meetings and other community events.
Sambroak also pledged to run an open courtroom, saying he opposes sealing court documents.
"What you see with me is what you are going to get," he said. His statement reflects a worthy attribute that Sambroak will bring to the Erie County bench.

Move on, don't worry about it.
Punishing yourself over food is wack.
Don't be wack.
I've been primal for a month and a half and have been pretty good as far as adhering to the diet goes. I've only messed up purposely twice before. 2 slices of pizza on the second week and a mocha a couple weeks ago (I didn't make a huge deal out of that one) but today I had a craving. A craving for a big honking chocolate chip cookie. So I went and bought a big honking chocolate chip cookie. I didn't look too much at the label, but I saw it had 500 cals, and I'm assuming there was a real good amount of carbs up in there. It was a BIG OL' cookie.
I'm assuming the response is going to be, "Move on. Don't worry about it." But are there any suggestions as to what to do now? I feel pretty bad about it. I feel like I should do a bunch of HIIT and go on a 10-mile walk! Should I IF all day tomorrow? Throw in an extra HIIT? Forget about it?
Move on, don't worry about it.
Punishing yourself over food is wack.
Don't be wack.
In God we trust; all others must bring data. W. Edwards Deming
Blogging at http://loafingcactus.com
If you do want to do something, then take a 5 mile walk. That will take care of it.
If you really feel the need to compensate, IF for 16 hours and add a workout.
But honestly, what would you say if your best friend ate a cookie? That they were going to primal hell? Probably not. Cut yourself some slack, sweetie- it was a cookie. Not a crime. :-)
Return to your regularly scheduled primal lifestyle and stop worrying about the cookie. The elevated cortisol from getting upset about it is probably just about as bad for you as the cookie was. Don't make a habit of eating cookies and pizza, but eating one is not the end of the world.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde
Owly's Journal
I have friends who freak out if they cheat and eat a piece of cake or something and will do a second workout to offset it. Really? It's a piece of cake one time! Guess what? I just cheated and got thai food (which tasted crappy), then had some Ben & Jerry's ice cream, then ate an ENTIRE Ritter Sport bar. Do I feel bad for doing it? Yes, but no sense in dwelling, it's staying in my belly because I'm not going to throw it up or go run 10 miles to burn it off.
Tomorrow is a new day, don't repeat today and you'll be fine
The best advice I ever heard on this topic is to just make sure your next few meals are low insulin-producing meals. Get right back on track, and don't beat yourself up over it.
I might MAYBE eat a TINY bit more strict the next day... but probably not even that.
Like Owly said, the stress from worrying about it will do you more harm than just forgetting about it and moving on.

Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks
1 bunch of asparagus
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Lay a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with nonstick spray.
To prepare, first trim woody ends off asparagus (this will give you an idea how long they will be for the next steps). Place beaten eggs on a plate that is long enough for the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Place flour on a similar-sized plate or in a zip-top plastic bag. Season it with salt and pepper. Mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan together.
First, shake or roll the asparagus in the seasoned flour. Then roll it in the beaten eggs. Finally, roll it in the breadcrumb/cheese mixture. Place on wire rack.
Bake for 12 to 17 minutes (depending on thickness), or until golden brown and crispy.
Note: If you are using really thick asparagus, microwave it first for about 1 minute to precook and soften. Then follow the battering process and bake.

Strategic Planning and Budgeting
Institutional Key Performance Indicators
University Reaccreditation 2007
MSU Moorhead
Preparing MSUM to Survive
and Thrive in the New Normal Higher Education Landscape
The major topic for today's town meeting will be planning for the New Normal in Higher Education at MSUM. The New Normal is a term that refers to the post-recession challenges in higher education. For more information on the challenges of this unique time, we have posted two documents from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities on the Strategic Planning portion of our website at http://web.mnstate.edu/president/StrategicPlanning/StrategicPlanning.htm . Summing up the challenges, we have two competing points:
Thus we are challenged to meet critical economic and societal needs with fewer resources.
Today's topics will focus on the New Normal at MSUM and how we are preparing to survive and thrive. To that end, our topics are:
MSUM Budget Context
More than half of our budget gap ($4.95M) came from a structural deficit resulting from our base budget commitments exceeding our revenues. The good news is that we have in place hiring controls that link spending to revenue and we have begun to invest in admissions and marketing to increase revenue. Thus, we should be able to avoid future structural deficits. The bad news is that the state appropriations continue to decrease necessitating continued decreases in base budget and increases in revenue. As we have discussed, plans are in place to address this challenge.
Last Fall (the start of FY 09), our state appropriation was $29,820,431, and it accounted for 48% of our overall general fund budget. This Fall, our appropriation was down 10.95% and accounted for only 41% of our general fund budget. The appropriation is expected to further decrease 1.77% for next Fall and then 15.33% by Fall of 2011. By that time, the appropriation will have fallen over 7.7M, and it will only account for 35% of our current general fund budget. It is quite possible that these decreases may be further complicated by rescissions or unallottments.
As a result of the decreases in appropriation, we must increase our revenue in order to maintain our programs. Tuition revenue now makes up more than half of our general fund budget, and its percentage is increasing.
Each student we enroll can be considered as a multi-year annuity. New entering freshmen give us much more than one year of income, or, as was the case with the drop in this year's freshman class, multiple years of loss. This year's class, which was recruited before the changes in admissions and before our new marketing efforts, was down 173 students from the previous year. The tuition revenue lost for just this year was $1,009,282. Considering retention and graduation rates, we will lose an additional $1,917,929 over the next three years.
I have provided the tuition illustration for two reasons. First, our new investments in marketing and admissions are needed to assure that we can reverse these losses and gain 6% in overall enrollment by Fall 2011. Second, we know that once we get them to campus we are more likely to get them to enroll. Our programs are strong, our faculty and staff are outstanding; and our facilities are well maintained – even with considerable personnel shortages. Please know that the role you play in recruitment is most valuable.
Assessing Current Preparedness for the New Normal
Working Together to Increase Preparedness
We are a very strong university! We have high quality academic programs coupled with faculty and staff members who care about students and about their university community. Through your continued efforts, we will thrive in the new normal.
I know that this has been a difficult time for all of us. However, I do believe that by the end of summer, our processes and structures will have evolved and we will be able to strategically invest in our bright future.
Focusing our Efforts with a New Strategic Plan and
Annual Reporting Format
At this time, we welcome any questions or suggestions.
We hope to finalize the plan by February.

Would this itinerary work for Monday December 1st-Sunday December 7th?
- 3 Matt { 06.08.14 at 11:05 pm }
Hi Dave, Wow…this is an unbelievable site and thanks very much for all your work on it (just wished I had found before I booked last week!). We are from Winnipeg, Canada and are staying 6 nights from October 26-Nov 1, 2014 (Sun to Sat) at the Animal Kingdom Lodge with our two kids (8 and 6). We only did the 5 day park pass since our travel days are longer from Winnipeg. I have already booked some of my itinerary (meals) as we took advantage of the Magic Your Way + Free Dining (I notice most popular restaurants are already full!). I am happy to make changes if you think best and here's the plan I had:
Sun 26th – Arrive Orlando 4pm, then late dinner at 8:30 (Hoop Dee Doo)
Mon 27th – Hollywood Studios – Booked dinner 4pm (Primetime Cafe)
Tue 28th – Magic Kingdom
Wed 29th – Animal Kingdon
Thurs 30th – Epcot
Fri 31st – Magic Kingdom – booked lunch 11:35 Crystal Palace
Sat 1st – Back to Winnipeg
Just wondering if there are any glaring mistakes above.
One other question I have is if I can leave some of the meals un-booked and just hope to stop into a Table Service restaurant while there (we're not picky eaters)?
I would really appreciate any feedback you might have. Once again, thanks again for your input.

Hi, just wondering, would this work well for a Sunday arrival? We're going Sept 7-13. I recently found this site and being that it is our first trip with young children, it would make our trip so much smoother to have things a little more planned out
- 6 Ashley { 07.16.14 at 9:47 am }
Also, I have the trip partially planned. Mon- Thurs. Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios… in that order. Would that work well? We have dining reservation in those parks on those days with no park hopper. Sunday & Saturday we planned to eat in our room or on the road (we're driving) and Friday I have reservations for Hoop-Dee-Doo.
- 9 Brittney { 09.15.14 at 1:39 am }
Dave, you have no idea how much this site has helped me. Thank you so much! We are planning to take our 3 yr old daughter March 1-7. I want to use your itinerary as a guide but here's my dilemma: she is most excited and obsessed w seeing Cinderellas castle and riding the rides in fantasyland at MK. I don't want to get there Sunday and not go to MK until our 5th day there. Also I think we would like to do 3 days at MK, 1 at Epcot, 1 HS, and 1 at AK. Do you think this is a good plan? If so, which says would you recommend which parks thank you so much in advance!
- 11 Lisa { 09.17.14 at 2:26 pm }
Hi Dave ,
We are going to arrive Oct. 11 (Sat) and leave in the afternoon on Friday the 17th. Right now I have us going to EPCOT Sat evening, Animal Kingdom Sun, EPCOT Mon, Hollywood Studios Tues, and Magic Kingdom Wed. I am not quite sure what to do with Thurs and with Fri morning. We may also take half a day (in the morning ) to see the beach and my cousin, and we're not sure which day would be best for that. What do you think? If it helps, we have been before, and the kids are teens. Thanks for your input! Great site!
- 13 Roxanne { 09.19.14 at 2:58 pm }
Hi Dave,
First off… your site is amazing!! One of my friends recommended it to me and it has helped me get a mini disney vacation planning education. We just booked and we are traveling April 12-18th, staying at the polynesian with club level service and a theme park view. My have two sons, 5 and 2 years old- the 5 year old has a wheat allergy and is extremely picky, but we plan to get the meal plan and I want to nail down the itneiary so we can book those resturant reservations. We are driving and plan to arrive by noon on Sun, then after food shopping, go to Epcot. Mon- AK, Tues- MK, Wed- Rest, Thurs- Hollywood Studios, Fri- MK. Sat we'll get up and go home. I really would like to build in a rest day on Wed for the Pool and dinner at Downtown Disney but Im not sure if we"ll get in enough time at Epcot on Sun? Also please note, we arent too concerned with MK fireworks since we are hoping we can see them from our room. We dont want to overplan the itinerary since we'll be back again when our boys are older. I appreciate any advice you have. Thanks!
- 15 Jacqueline { 11.16.14 at 1:59 am }
I am taking my family to WDW the week of April 12th- 18th, 2015. We have reservations at AofA with 6 day park hopper tickets and the meal plan. I already have dinner reservation for Monday-Friday, staring with Cindy's, Ohana, Be our Guest, Flying Fish, then breakfast @ 1900. Will this itinerary work for me at all? Any suggestions?
- 17 Diane { 11.16.14 at 6:07 pm }
We just booked our trip for 11/14/15 for 6 nights with our 8 and 6 year olds. Since we are getting there on a Saturday and leaving Friday, we want to have full days in MK, not on our travel days. What do you suggest? I know it's a year away, but I want to be as prepared as possible. Last time I was there was 23 years ago and it's going to take me a year to figure everything out!
- 19 Kristine { 12.30.14 at 3:31 pm }
I am just starting to plan for 2016. We are looking at a 6 or 7 night stay but would arrive on Saturday. How would I use the shorter itineraries that assume a different arrival day?
- 21 Ben { 03.18.15 at 3:08 pm }
Thank you for the great site. We've booked a 6 night stay the first week of October (Sunday arrival) with our 3 young kids (all under 5). How would you modify the recommended itinerary for a Sunday arrival? Thanks!
- 23 Tim { 04.03.15 at 4:55 pm }
What are your recommendations on modifying this itinerary to adapt to a 5-night trip arriving on Thursday, October, 15, 2015 (early afternoon) and departing on Tuesday, October, 20, 2015 (early afternoon)? We are not interested in Hollywood Studios, so it seems like we could just drop that day. Also, we're going to want to attend Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. We we're thinking of Epcot on arrival day as suggested along with one other day. Then 2 days at MK and 1 at AK. We also want to take advantage of Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue. It doesn't look like they have the calendar published (not that I can see anyway) for our dates yet, but most important, we're approaching our 180-day window, so want to be ready to make dining reservations.
- 25 Tim { 04.05.15 at 6:27 pm }
Kids are 9 (boy) and 6 (girl).
Btw, I'm enjoying reading the content in the book format!
- 27 Tim { 04.08.15 at 3:49 pm }
Dave, thanks for the input, very helpful. You threw me for a loop though with the MVMCP acronym! Took me a little bit to translate that to mean MNSSHP for this time of year 😉
If you were going to slot in HS, where would you put it? I'm just thinking we don't have time and something had to get axed.
- 29 Anya Bridges { 04.13.15 at 11:39 am }
Loving your website and book!
I was wondering if you could help me with an itinerary. We (4 adults, 4 kids ages 10, 9, 8 and 4) are going Oct 24-31, 2015 – park from Sunday Oct 25 – Friday Oct 30. 6 days. I realize we are going at the height of the Halloween season but are not participating. We also do not have park hopper passes and therefore was thinking of forgoing animal kingdom because we wouldn't want to spend an entire day there (10 and 9 yr old are huge star wars fans, 8 and 4yr olds not tall enough for the AK roller coaster and would be more excited about princesses and preschool characters).
Do you have a suggestion or input on what our week should look like?
- 31 Anya { 04.16.15 at 9:46 am }
Hi Dave, thanks so much for your reply! If you have the time, I would like to know the reasons you chose those parks to avoid – for instance, we are not going to MNSSHP, so if we visited MK on S,T,or R our day would have to end at 7pm. I see that you're avoiding EMH, but wonder if it might be different with MNSSHP going on? And some of the parks to avoid in your reply are some of the parks you suggest on the basic itineraries – for instance you told me to avoid MK on Fri 10/30, but say to go to MK on the itineraries and suggest Epcot as a Thursday park, but tell me to avoid it on thurs, 10/29.
This was the week that worked best for our family with school schedules and may likely be the only time our kids get to go, so I would like to try to have the most typical visit even within MNSSHP week. Is this possible? thanks!
- 33 Chrissy { 04.22.15 at 7:55 pm }
My husband and I are taking our 8 year old daughter to Disney this October and I'm trying to design our itinerary. We are arriving on a Wednesday and leaving on a Tuesday. Can you give me some suggestions on how to plan the days? Thank you for all the helpful information on your site!
- 35 Cynthia { 04.28.15 at 3:30 pm }
Hi Dave just booked our November trip arriving 11/13 and departing on the 19th would you be able to offer assistance with an itinerary and or parks to avoid, traveling with 3 boys 10, 12, 14. thanks in advance. I have been staring at his blank one for 2 days
- 37 Anya Bridges { 05.04.15 at 5:37 pm }
Thank so much Dave! Your website/blog, book and personal feedback have been a huge help to us!
- 39 Olivia { 05.12.15 at 10:34 am }
Hi Dave, Looking for parks to avoid for travel dates of October 27 – November 3. Your help is greatly appreciated!
- 40 Tammy { 05.13.15 at 8:14 am }
If we are going to Hollywood Studios one day (wed) how would you combine the two half days from this itinerary in regards to Fast passes? Thanks!
- 42 Tammy D. { 07.08.15 at 8:10 am }
Hi Dave!!
Wow! This is a great site! Here's my issue! There's so much and I'm trying to narrow down. Our biggest priority is having a vacation that doesn't feel like we are running from one thing to another by being over scheduled. It's almost a vacation just walking around–only almost.
We are arriving Friday, Nov. 13 2015 at around 1:00. We are leaving Thursday, the 2oth of November in the morning. We are staying at The Wilderness Cabins and we have a Dining Plan and Park Hopper Passes associated with our vacation.
I was thinking 2 days at Epcot and a 1.5 days at Magic Kingdom would be a good thing. We'd do the other parks in a day. Is this good?
If you can't tell, we are very relaxed about this, but I also see the need to plan a bit. We are pretty relaxed with meals also, since we are staying in a cabin with fully-equipped kitchen and we plan to have some groceries delivered. Many of the table service options I've tried to reserve are already booked. So quick service will be or friend, and I will keep checking reservations are we get closer. I'm definitely looking for suggestions.
Thanks so much!!

Hi Dave,
Great site and very helpful. I am planning a trip to Walt Disney World with my husband and three kids (10, 7, and almost 5 year old) We will be arriving around noon Sunday, April 24 and leaving Saturday morning April 30. This is the first trip for all of us and I am trying to plan days and dinner reservations. Suggestions on which of your itineraries I should follow? Right now I have it planned for us to do AK Monday and eat at Chef Mickey that night, MK Tuesday and lunch at Royal Palace, HS Wednesday and lunch at Prime Time Cafe, EC Thursday, and MK Friday. I have two more table service meals to use and would appreciate any recommendations (was thinking Sci-fi cafe, but not sure how to fit in). I also want to fit in some relaxation time at the resort as we will be staying at the Polynesian. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!
- 46 Kristy { 11.11.15 at 1:04 am }
Dear Dave,
Thank you so much for your amazing website and the detailed itineraries that you provide!! I am traveling with my husband, sister, and 3 daughters (7, 5, 3) from Sat. Jan. 9 through Fri. Jan. 15, 2016, with 5 full days from Sun Jan. 10 – Thurs. Jan. 14 in the parks. If I had read your website before, I would have avoided those dates, but the flight reservations are now booked, so I'm stuck.
It sounds crazy, but I've planned our days around the dining reservations I could make. I realized too late that we can't go to Cinderella's palace. So far, the plan is:
Sunday, 1/10/16 – MK – to avoid the marathon at Epcot (crystal palace dinner reservation).
Monday, 1/11/16 – Epcot (akershus lunch reservation), will try to catch the fireworks (enough to do during the day for the little ones?)
Tuesday, 1/12/16 – Hollywood Studios (breakfast at Hollywood & Vine so that we can be one of the first in line for Jedi training), will probably miss Fantasmic because we'll be starting early
Wednesday, 1/13/16 – Animal Kingdom (lunch at Tusker house) (maybe MK in the evening)
Thursday, 1/14/16- Magic Kingdom (brunch at Chef Mickey)- want to end the trip with the evening parade and fireworks (but definitely don't want to miss the show, so we'll go another night if necessary to catch them)
What do you think of this itinerary? Also, do you think it's necessary to rent a car? I have 3 young kids, so I do worry about getting around and getting to places on time! I have been looking at your 6 day itinerary, but is there another itinerary that might better suit the interests of my younger daughters? (My oldest daughter, however, is adventurous and loves all things daring and not princessy!)
Thank you again so much!
- 48 Kristy { 01.16.16 at 4:26 pm }
Dear Dave,
We just returned from our trip, and I can't thank you enough for the detailed itineraries. They were indispensable. We started each day early and were able to tour very efficiently at each of the parks we visited. As a result, we were able to take a break in the afternoon and then head back to the parks in the evening. We were able to do ride/see all of the attractions that were on our to-do list at least once (sometimes 2-4 times!). We had an incredible trip. I'm so thankful we found your website. I will highly recommend it to anyone else who asks for advice. Thank you again!!!

In Memoriam
The wrestling world has lost two personalities on this date.
Firstly, in 1978, multi-time World Heavyweight Champion John Pesek died aged 84. Pesek's original career plan would have taken him inside a boxing ring, but he warmed to wrestling after seeing it at several touring carnivals in his native Nebraska. He wrestled his first major match in 1914, defeating Wladek Zbyszko. Pesek went the first six years of his career unbeaten before a loss to Joe Stecher. In 1921, Pesek became a so-called policeman for Ed Lewis' promotion. 'Policemen' were employed by promoters for their legitimate wrestling skills, so that the promoters would have a weapon against any wrestler who may try to go off-book. Pesek was banned for life from wrestling in New York following a match against one of these so-called 'trustbusters'; Pesek delivered such a brutal beating to Marin Plestina that several in the crowd are said to have called the police. Despite this, Pesek himself became a trustbuster later in his career. In a match against then-World Champion Joe Stecher in 1926, Pesek diverted from the planned finish, applying a wristlock to the champion. Stecher was on the verge of tapping out before the referee called time on the match, citing a chokehold by Pesek. In the 1930's, Pesek held two different versions of the World Heavyweight Championship, but was stripped on each occasion for refusing to defend the titles against chosen competitors. By the mid-30's, Pesek had become disillusioned with wrestling and had begun to focus more on his secondary career as a greyhound trainer. He wrestled his final match in the 1950's, by which time he had trained two future hall of fame dogs. Pesek died at his home in Ravenna, Nebraska after a short illness. A statue of him with two of his dogs was unveiled in the town shortly after his passing. As far as I am aware, it is still standing
Secondly, in 2012, famed referee Dick Woerlhe died at the age of 81. Woerlhe was a boxer in his youth, but soon became a referee and trainer, having not made the grade as a fighter. His first exposure to wrestling came from Vince McMahon Sr; McMahon was short of a referee for one of his shows in New York City, so asked the local commission to provide one. Despite his total lack of experience (it is said that Woerlhe had never even seen a wrestling match, never mind officiated one) Woerlhe impressed McMahon and was a regular in his promotion from then on. Woerlhe also popularized (among many others) the ref bump. Due to his self-confessed poor selling skills, Woerlhe would tell the wrestlers to legitimately hit him if they wanted him to take a dive. Woerlhe ended up gaining so much experience in the wrestling business that he would go on to become a trainer and promoter, counting indy regular Reckless Youth as his most famous graduate that I am aware of. In his later years, Woerlhe's health was in obvious decline, but he retained his usual high spirits. He was a regular on the fan fest circuit even after being diagnosed with the colon cancer which would ultimately cause his death. Woerhle declined chemotherapy treatment, stating that he had lived a full and happy life and wanted to see it out naturally. He eventually succumbed at his home in New Jersey

'LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean' trailer makes even the grimiest sea dog kind of adorable
So, if you're a fan of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean series, Traveler's Tales has released another trailer for the LEGO version of that series. Great, right? The best part is that normally I wouldn't want to hug Jack Sparrow (I mean, it's Johnny Depp at his grossest, come on), but this shiny, plastic-y version is much more lovable. And in this game, he technically might not be a drunk. I don't know, though, "Why is all of the juice always gone?" isn't nearly as funny as its rum-soaked counterpart. Enjoy the trailer, which focuses on the Dead Man's Chest storyline. FollowRead more →By Tiffany Nevin in News 2 Comments »

State of Azeroth: Hello new content
Well things have been busy since the last State of Azeroth. We now have Patch 4.1 and the Firelands raid to look forward to along with some other changes coming our way. We're also getting back two old dungeons which have been revamped to be Heroic 5-mans: Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman. And yes the mounts are back. Let's get into some more news. News The biggest news to come out has been information regarding patch 4.1 and the Firelands raid. Firelands will be coming in 4.2 and we've been able to get some ideas of what the new raid will be like. I'm going to start with Ragnaros himself, who's model we've been able to see. Many complaints have come about due to the size of his stubby little legs. Personally I'm not a fan at all. I much prefer his original form that we've seen (and beaten) before.

GUNNAR Optiks now available at Best Buy
Elizabeth and I both love GUNNAR Optik's glasses. We have run into the company many times at various conventions, and agree that their computer eyewear is a definite help for people on the computer all day. Initially GUNNAR Optiks positioned themselves as a brand for gamers. Just recently they launched billboards around Los Angeles with various MLG players and Adam Sessler wearing their Gunnars. Now you can get your pair easily. GUNNAR Optiks' Advanced Computer Eyewear and Adavance GAming Eyewear are now available at Best Buys nationwide. Prices range from $79.99 to $99.99. The glasses can be taken to about 15,000 eye care providers to get prescription lenses put in. It doesn't state if Best Buy will carry the lines that are more for women, but many of their glasses could be worn by anyone. "Our goal is to see a consolidated eyewear retailing area in every consumer electronics store,"Read more →
How I fell for a Facebook game
I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends and family. I have tried a few Facebook games based on that message you receive from friends that they are playing. You know the ones that send you a request for a call of action to help them finish their garden. Or help supply them with something. If they are playing, (sometimes alot!) then it must be fun right? I'm a gamer with very little time to game. I have always felt that Facebook games would offer a quick way to game "on the go" but none of them ever resonated with me. I don't garden in real life. Why would I take care of a virtual one? When it comes to Facebook games, I refuse to pay money for virtual items, or things that help me progress in the game. Most of that is that I'm not emotionally invested enoughRead more →
Superman Anthology on Blu-Ray announced
Superhero films are Hollywood's favorite thing right now, but it's always important to look back at the films that started the genre. Warner Bros is releasing the Superman: The Motion Picture Anthology (1978-2006) on June 7. For the first time, the series of films will be available on Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray includes all four Superman films starring Christopher Reeve, Superman Returns and alternate versions of Superman I and Superman II. The Blu-Rays will include the extras we've all grown accustomed to like documentaries, never seen before original opening to Superman Returns, and deleted scenes. The set comes with eight disc (even with Blu-Ray!) for $129.95. This would be a great way to share classic Superman with young kids. The first disc even includes Warner Bros. Cartoons!
