    Cytown Update

    What kind of restaurant do you think goes in here? Pie in the sky would be something local-ish like Toppling Goliath but I think they are opening in Des Moines so probably not. It has to be a place that attracts people from outside of Ames IMO. Maybe something like Yard House? Not sure if...

    Outdoor Lights

    Sorry, just seeing this now. It's wifi to the box, not to each string.

    Disney Cruise tips?

    Thanks for the input. Did you book directly through Disney or did you use a travel agent? We've never been on a cruise before.

    Disney Cruise tips?

    That’s on the list. As expensive as a Disney cruise is, I think Aulani would be double lol

    Disney Cruise tips?

    Bumping this. Thinking of taking a Disney Cruise with my family of five next year. We have three kids would be 6, 6, and 3 at time of cruise. We're big Disney fans, but have never been on a cruise before. Any thoughts about this? Or about cruises in general?
