> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by lieu \* > \*\* > Do you have any reservations? \*\* Yes, I have reservations about the current economy. That’s why I diverified my 401K. 😉 Saw my sister, the new baby, Maggie, my **B** -rother **I** -n **L** -aw, my brother, and 3 out of 4 Disney Parks. I can’t recommend EPCOT, except for the shopping, & the Italian Pavilion’s Venitian Masque. Disney MGM is fun, & don’t miss the tour of the animation studio. My all-time-favorite ride is _Pirates Of The Carribbean_. No taffy, no pink flamingoes. ---
