MAY 12th-19th!! THESE ARE THE MAYS OF OUR LIVES! Part 4

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I know shelly.... YAY.. I can't wait for our trip.... i'm still hoping for better airfare...

should i get it now through jetblue at 836 or should i wait another month to see if it goes down.... I"m just afraid that it will get more expensive or that another airline will have it for cheaper.... AAHHHHH what to do what to do...in teh immortal words of Pooh "think, think, think"


Is that price for just the 3 of you??? That's too much! Or is someone else coming with you?

Looks like there are non-stop flights for your dates with Southwest for $99 each way. Total in the $600's for 3. . .

[JoBird]

::yes::
Agree- that's a lot of moolah for only three of you...
I was going to say SW too.

So SMART, LITTLE maYER sHELLY.:hug:
jO

[mari360]

southwest doesn't travel out of our airport.... and DH wants our home airport and direct flights, getting to mco early and getting back home late..... i'm telling you he leaves no room for saving....

[CleKait]

:banana: That's awesome news Newcrew! :banana:

:flower3: I'll be in Disney 10th - 17th. haven't made any ADRs yet :rotfl:

::yes:: I agree too! That is a lot of money.

Especially for someone who doesn't live in the land of outragious airfare! :lmao:

If you move to Arkansas, you can easily pay $339 each for a direct flight and everyone will tell you that you got a great deal! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

That is going to be difficult. . . . Maybe you should tell him to do the booking!! :lmao:


What about AirTran? I see today they just lowered rates from Pittsburgh from $114 to $79. Which is what I paid with Southwest, but I would have preferred to fly AirTran since we already have and are familiar with them, plus assigned seating.
Oh Well! I guess I'm just glad to have tickets at this point!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

:flower3: I'll be in Disney 10th - 17th. haven't made any ADRs yet :rotfl:


Hi Kait! Do you have your airfare yet? Or are you driving? :car:

[huggiebear23]

New Crew-CONGRATS:banana: :banana: That is so awesome!! April will be great.

Mari-I hope the fights go down.

Speaking of flights. My flights went up to I am waiting to buy my tickets and it is killing me. I WANT A DING

Disney Visa as 5x rewards on their card so I might want to book my flight on that card.

Decisions Decisions

Oh I havent told you all. I painted my living room and hated the color so I tried another in and that one stunk too, tried one more too dark. Now I found a color I like and I have to finish painting by the end of the week.

So I am so tired of painting. Blue is a hard color to paint. I ended up with a color called Winter Lake which looks like wedgewood china.

[CleKait]

Hi Kait! Do you have your airfare yet? Or are you driving? :car:

Airfare. My mom gets lost very easily. We'd probably end up in Idaho or something if we drove.
We're flying AirTran. I think it ended up being roughly $200 a piece round trip and the total was $517 with all those taxes.

Air tran is ONLY $59 each way but not direct.... I would so book those flight... it would only be like 400 for all 3 but DH says direct flights... so i guess we'll end up paying an arm and a leg for flights...:headache:

Good Luck with the final color..... i HATE painting we painted my DD playroom last weekend... i hate painting so much that we only painted the top half of the room... and I have to put the border around the room....so the top half is blue bottom half is white....

Yup. I've been there in Feb and March too.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

That sounds good Seacrest!

We have a Fatburger, but I have never been there. Actually it is about 30 minutes away in the town that JO lives in. We always go by it but never stop. Now I will stop sometime, it looks really good! :cool1:

JO - How is Belle feeling today?

She went to school, but didn't want to go. No fever, so off she went. She tends to get croupy so I fully expect to be awakened by the sound of a barking seal tonight. :confused: Sooo scary sounding in the middle of the night. Drew was the worst. He just had so much stridor you could hear him gasping all over the house. It was awful. Thankfully, he has outgrown it. Thanks for asking!

Lunch report: Fatburger today! Burger, Skinny Fries and a Coke. I am stuffed!

I haven't eaten there, either!!!! why, oh why have I not eaten at FatBurger????:confused3

Lunch report for me - Turkey slices and swiss cheese slices. Dinner report- Salad

Dh is eating lasagna I made yesterday.


Did you hear about Heath ledger, So sad

[seacrestpromo]

Jo, there is an INO Burger next to LAX. We can meet there when you get into town :cool1:

Huggie, so sad indeed. Heath Ledger was to play the role of the Joker in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. I wonder how much filming was done. What a big bummer - it isn't suppose to be that way.

[mari360]

Hey all.... all that burger talk is funny to me because that is what i made for dinner tonight... burgers with FF and onion rings... nice and simple today....

I also have heard about heath ledger... sad sad story.... he was so young and with a young daughter.... poor child in this world wihtout her father....

[seacrestpromo]

You made french fries AND onion rings at home???? :worship: Mari :worship:

[mari360]

yes sir.... well onion rings i had the frozen kind and just made those...

You made french fries AND onion rings at home???? :worship: Mari :worship:

[mari360]

Morning All.... i hope everyone has a great day.....

Huggie: I love taking my DD to take pics....

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Huggie!! That is a lot of painting you poor thing! Hope it's all better soon :)

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good Morning MAYers!

Just got back from running errands all morning. Another cold day here in PA. It was 14 when I was at the grocery store. At least the sun is out! :goodvibes

Stopped at the Dollar store too and found the cutest pack of Disney Valentine's for DS6 for his class party! They only had one box left!! I can't wait until he gets home and sees them! :yay:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Morning Mayers, Sorry i went MIA, just a lot going on. Roman is having tubes put in his ears February 26th. They made a quick decision because he is losing his hearing in his good ear too. Please think about the little guy, he seems to still be in a bit of pain from the appt. He was poked a lot.

:) Thanks!!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Great find Shelly!!!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

:wave: Hi Michelle!

We will definitely be thinking about and praying for little Roman. :hug: Sorry things aren't going so well for him. Poor little guy.

[mari360]

:) Thanks!!

Oh Michelle I'll have little Roman in my thoughts and prayers. Poor little guy...I hope his pain goes away and I hope everything that they are doing to him helps his hearing..... Be strong Michelle i know the worst thing for me is seeing my DD in pain... your family will be in my nightly prayers....

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thank you guys so much! It's all I can do not to stand watch over his cradle as he naps :sad2:

I'm so greatful to have other two be a bit out of control lately! I can focus on something while he sleeps :)

They are finger painting right now :earseek:

[JoBird]

Michelle,
Oh my. :hug: So sorry you're having troubles. Being a Mom is such a hard job that God has given us. He has blessed you with three children that love and depend on you. What a blessing you are to their lives. It can be so rewarding and gut wrenching all at the same time. Hugs to you, friend.

Roman will certainly be in my prayers in the coming month.
Have they discovered what it is that has caused the hearing loss?

Check in when you can...
Jo

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thanks Jo!

Have they discovered what it is that has caused the hearing loss?


They still are not sure, they are figuring that hopefully the draining of the fluid with the tubes may clear it up, if not, they will tell us where we go next.

[mari360]

I so hope that when they drain it will clear it up.... atleast the pain the poor baby is feeling will be worth it... poor darling....

[NewCrew42]

Chris is still sick! :sick:

It's doctor time!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Oh no NC! Sorry he is still sick. That stinks! :sad2:

Hope all goes well at the doctor and he is feeling better in no time! :wizard:

[seacrestpromo]

Hey all! What's up? It is suppose to rain today thru Sunday - YIKES!

[NewCrew42]

The doctor's office cannot see him today and they do not schedule sick appointments for tomorrow until tomorrow. Huh? :confused3

So that means he will miss school tomorrow as well. Ugh! Which means I will keep him home on Friday too unless there is a miracle cure.

What is this going to do to my Disney trip? :scared1:

[mari360]

Hey all what's for dinner?????? me i'm making pork chops with rice and beans and tostones.....

[NewCrew42]

Well, my kids are having happy meals. Tonight was dance night for dd, so I drove thru on the way home. I am having chicken and salad.

[CleKait]

Pizza Hut for us. They had the buffet tonight.

Hey all! What's up? It is suppose to rain today thru Sunday - YIKES!
We’re supposed to get more snow tonight! But it’s suppose to be 40 degrees on Monday :banana:

Morning all.... Where did everybody go last night... did i miss something... hey here is a pic of what the new pool at CBR is suppose to look like... i'm going there next time i go to wdw....http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/mari360181/5816680.jpg

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning Mari! WOW I didn't know CBR was getting a whole new pool!
I thought it was just a little maintenance rehab. No wonder it is taking nearly a year to complete! :rotfl: That looks so awesome! :goodvibes YAY, now I know where to go next time. I didn't think CBR could get much better!!

Anymore news on a rehab at CSR pool this year? :confused:

[mari360]

No news on my end... i'm crossing my fingers that there is no rehab in CSR...if they wait any more to confirm i won't be able to change if that what i choose to do.... so yeah trip in 09 will be to CBR..... that is only a pic of the childrens area....

[Momof2Disneyboys]

NC - How's your DS? Did you end up taking him to the doctor today?

[seacrestpromo]

Good morning!

We sure had a lot of rain yesterday. I can see the snow on the mountains from my sundeck. Beautiful. The sky is really dark to the north and it looks like we are going to have another round of rain in a couple of hours.

Well, it looks like we are going to be going back to FL for a wedding in the early fall of this year. I don't have the dates yet, maybe in a couple weeks. I would like to slip in at least 3 or 4 days at WDW when we are back there. So I am pretty happy about that development!

Seacrest

[mari360]

Great news sea. YAY i'm crossing fingers for you that you get a couple of days with the mouse....

[JoBird]

Hi all!

Gosh, the boards are so slow, it's quite a painful process.

Seacrest, that's great that you get to go to WDW! I just received your package. Thanks so much for sending it to me and including the DisneyLand pin! Quite a surprise! I can't wait to look through it thoroughly.

How's everyone else?
I'm a busy little MAYer. Busy busy!

Hope everyone is good.
TTTL,
Jo

[CleKait]

Has anyone ever done parasailing before? I would love to do it while we are there. :)

[huggiebear23]

Hey everyone!!

How is going? The airline prices are going up. YIKES. I sure hope they go down.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hey Huggie!

I know, my $79 flights are now $148 and $115. :eek: Glad I got them, even though the times stink!

I know you have a SW credit, but have you checked AirTran? They dropped their flights from $114 to $79 from here.

Not long now until we hit the 100 day mark!! :woohoo:

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

oooo that pool at CBr looks great!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

oooo that pool at CBr looks great!



::yes::

[seacrestpromo]

Jo: Wow, I am surprised that the pony express got the package to you so quickly. Have fun looking through the brochures. Glad you liked your DL pin, you are very welcome!

DMM: Hey stranger...getting enough sleep?

Shelly: Saved any money today?

Mari: How do you like your new job?

Well, about 11:00 am it began to hail. That lasted for about 4 or 5 minutes. It melted pretty though. Now it is raining and we are expecting thunder storms. There are huge clouds in the east. Maybe I can get some neat pictures or video later on today.

I am jazzed about the FL trip. It is just going to be my wife and I on this adventure. We will be able to get a great deal on the hotel rooms because of my wife's Disney cast member discount. Can't make any decisions yet until we get the dates of the wedding.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Congrats on the Florida trip Seacrest!! :cool1:

[seacrestpromo]

Thanks Shelly! I guess that means I get to post a :snooty: now!

[huggiebear23]

Air Tran is about 40 minutes away at one of NY busiest airports so that is a no go for us. I will wait it out.

[NewCrew42]

NC - How's your DS? Did you end up taking him to the doctor today?

Long day today. We got in at the doctor's office. My son has the flu. :sick: It has been too long to give him tamiflu (since we didn't get in yesterday.) :headache: But our doctor wrote a prescription for dh, dd, and me. :thumbsup2 We started taking it tonight. Just waiting for dh to get home so I can give him his does.

I think I went to Wal-Mart 10 times today (well it was only two, but felt like 10.) DS wanted a cheese burger from McDonalds (which is inside our wal-mart) for lunch and since he hasn't been eating much I was glad to go. He also had drank all of our water and Dr. Pepper and wanted more of that. And when the poor baby is sick, you know mom wants to make it all better and will fetch and bring whatever is desired. Then after the doctor, it was back for the pharmacy and to pick up mac n cheese. So I guess I checked out 4 times but only made two trips! :scared1: Which this took most of the afternoon.


Thanks for asking about him. It looks like he may have another 3 days of ickiness.

Oh, our pediatric office offered flu mist for our school this year. I always get the kids and myself a flu shot. Well, this was the first year for the offer thru the school and I jumped on it. The date was postponed twice and then cancelled. It was cancelled around Thanksgiving, well I never called the office to schedule the shot. So the moral of this story is GET YOUR FLU SHOT NO MATTER WHAT! The only year we skip, ds gets the flu! Ugh! I am a bit tired, frustrated, and feeling guilty that I didn't get my baby the shot. Sorry guys!

Good night everyone!

[JoBird]

Oh gosh, New Crew! Hugs, hon.:hug: :hug:

I'm so sorry he is sick. Oh my I hope you all don't get it.:sick:

Good thing you're all on Tamiflu. That stinks that they couldn't see you earlier. Ugh. I hate it when things like that happen and there is absolutely nothing you can do but wait it out. It makes you so angry and frustrated.:sad2:

I wish our WM had McD's in it!!!!:goodvibes I miss their fruit and yogurt parfaits. oh, and their french fries too, ha.

Well, how is this going to play into your April Flowers trip?????:flower3:
That flu is awful.:headache:
Once, Drew tested positive for the Flu AND strep throat, all in the same visit! They were able to put him on Flumadine and I swear, 24 hours later, the kid was running around. Miracle drug.

Well, i hope your day today is better. Take care of yourself, son't do so much that your immunity runs low and you become susceptible. Take your vitamins!!!

Hugs, girl,:grouphug:

Yay Seacrest! :woohoo:

Good night everyone!


I hope he feels better. That stinks. We don't get the flu shot here. I used to do it with the girls but they would get sick for months after.

[mari360]

[JoBird]

Hi girls!

Shelly- congrats to the two cuties on such great, awesome grades!
We are exactly 1/2 of a quarter behind you because of the strike. MAry Cat came home with her Progress report yesterday.

Mari- School for your baby?????? How are you going to stand it???

Not long now, MAYers!

I know my little girl in school.... wow i don't know how i will do that... maybe it will not be that hard since she goes to a sitter now..... but she's growing up too hard....she picks up everything.... so i have to be careful with what i say....

funny story last night one of my sisters was bothering her making believe she was taking her coat and putting it on... she ran to the door and threw the toy she was carrying and yelled "Gaby is Stupid" it took all my might for me not to laugh.... I had to sit and tell her it wasn't nice and blah blah blah but the whole time all i wanted to do is laugh... she NEVER said that before...

I love it when your babes start saying things and you're left wondering, "Where in the world did that come from???"


Belle and I yesterday were naming all of Santa's reindeer...
she came up with Dasher, Nasher (??) Prancer, and the kicker..."Toilet"....????:scared1: Ah, kids are funny.:laughing: :laughing:

Jo

[Momof2Disneyboys]

by the time Dis come around they will have to treat you guys.... Great job to your DS's.... Wow half the year is over time goes so fast..... i'm actually starting to look for schools for my DD now.....


I know, I told them the other day that they were going to have to buy me something nice on vacation since they are so loaded!! :lmao: DS6 asked me how much that monorail set was that I almost got last year, and I told him I think it was around $70. He said - Okay, I'll just buy that for you, I have lots more money than that!! :) And he does!! He had a birthday in the fall so right now he has quite a bit more than DS8. But DS8 had a birthday coming up in April.

My doctor has me on a new drug for my arthritis.
It's making me so dizzy. :scared:
So far this morning, I've walked into two walls, the island in the kitchen, (ow, that hurt) and into a door.:rotfl:

I hope I can drive. I feel rather drunk. When I lie down, the whole world spins, like i've been out drinking. :laughing:

Shelly, stay off the roads around noon. I have to take Belle to school. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You'd think they'd be happy there was some action that was nice instead of some of the other stuff that gets going on that board...

Ooooohhh I didn't know they would eliminate a thread for being too long! :eek:

[mari360]

I know they should be happy that people are still using the board....

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Supposedly the long threads are slowing down the DIS and they are getting rid of them. It's a big pain to find out if new ones have been started or now and when stuff like this happens, the original members never seem to all come together.

Well, if this happens DMM you will just have to start a new thread and then PM us! Maybe you can keep the name of the thread the same and then we can find it!

[mari360]

that is a good idea Shelly....

[JoBird]

that is a good idea Shelly....

::yes::
They know they can't get rid of the MAYers! Our trips haven't started yet!!!!
heheheheheheh.:snooty:

Jo

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Sounds like a plan :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Jo, I hope you get used to the new drugs soon!!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Okay, so :offtopic: :) I have been thinking about getting my hair cut off! It's very long, down past the middle of my back. I'd like to get quite a bit of it cut off and am thinking about even getting 10-12 inches cut so that I can donate it to Locks Of Love. http://www.locksoflove.org/donate.html

I wasn't planning on going quite that short, but it would be for a good cause. I'm just afraid I'll hate it!! But right now it's just so long and thick and it is driving me crazy!! :scared1:

So what do you think??? :confused: It's just hair, right?!? It'll grow back if I don't like it!

[mari360]

hmm... i would cut it.... i'm actually cuting my hair this weekend too.... my hair is curly and way to dry a the ends... and it's a great thing that you are doing...

[mari360]

also with your face structure i don't think short hair would look bad...

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

ahh well let me tell you I am the queen at this answer. I am currently growing out a bad bad bad awful hair cut. I went for a clean up of my old cut and ended up a mushroom head. I cried in the salon, on my way home...I cried the next day, all day.

Now it's been about 3 weeks and you are right, it is just hair and it's slowly coming back and maybe in about another month It will be right where I want it to be.

You are doing it for an EXCELLENT cause, so I would say go for it!

[mari360]

Hey Shelly if you go on this site you can upload your picture and see what a haircut will more or less look like on you...http://makeover.ivillage.com/makeover/index.jsp (http://http://makeover.ivillage.com/makeover/index.jsp)

[mari360]

you know what i just did it and it doesn't really help too much.... sorry...

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Thanks for the advise guys!! I'm thinking I will wait until the beginning of May to do it. By then I will have over another inch. Hair grows approx. 1/2 inch a month. (I used to be a beautician!) Then I will be a new woman for vacation!! :goodvibes Although my MAYer friends might not recognize me. :confused:

DH says he remembers me having a cute short haircut right after our oldest was born. . . I need to dig out some old pictures. But I'm thinking I was a lot younger (and thinner! :lmao: ) back then and could pull off short hair. :rotfl:

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I'll have to check that out Mari!

[seacrestpromo]

Well, in the last 24 hours we have survived rains, floods, hail, and a tornado watch in LA. And the rain is suppose to keep coming today through the whole weekend. Bleh!

I think I will buy a boat to get around town.

So this is cool: Pixar is going to release both TS1 and TS2 in 3D in a couple of years. They are are also going to produce a TS3 movie too. I can't wait to see these movies.

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

ooo how cool!!

[mari360]

ok i'm sorry... but what is TS???????? is it toy story??????

[NewCrew42]

I do think TS is toy story.

Hi guys! My son is still home sick today. No other signs of the flu from anyone else. Yay! :woohoo:

Ice started falling around 10 a.m. Everyone started driving crazy like they were Jo on a new drug! :) Just kidding (about Jo, but not the crazy drivers.) At 12:30, it took me 40 minutes to drive what is normally a 10 minute drive. Insane! Which it was raining then, not even icing. Go figure.

Hope you guys have a great day!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I was assuming TS was Toys Story, it would be cool in 3D adn I totally want to see A third one!

[NewCrew42]

Toy Story is one of my all time favorite Disney movies!

[seacrestpromo]

Yes, Toy Story!

[mari360]

i LOVE that movie......well actually those movies.... love them all.....

[JoBird]

:drive:
I made it to Belle's school and back with no issues, so that's realllllly gooood. Now I'm just nauseous from being dizzy from taking the drug. YUK.

Yay TOy Story! I love that movie!
Seacrest, what's the chance that the ride will be in soft opening stage when i am there?

Shelly- If you are going to cut your hair, I guess the best thing to do is to give it to L of Love.
Thanksgiving 2006 I cut my hair that was down to my waist up to above my shoulders because I needed a change.:scared1:
Drew cried when i came home; Mark opened the garage up, took one look at me and closed the door.:guilty:
I liked it for about 2 days. Then I wanted my hair back so bad, I looked into extensions. Um, nope, not for $1000+ dollars. It's just now growing out and i will never ever cut it again.

Well, not that drastically, anyway. :goodvibes
And I think really, you look a lot like Shania Twain-- I saw her up close in person in 2002 and really, you look so much like her, and her hair is long and beautiful. anyway, just my .02 cents.

Okay peeps, soccer tomorrow!!!

What'cha doin tonight? all the youngun's here have colds and Mark too...I'm a disenfecting fool! I can't get sick...:eek:
Gotta go prepare my supper!
Have a great night everyone!

NC- stay healthy!!

[seacrestpromo]

Hey Jo:

Sorry to hear that you feel so bad - hope you feel better soon.

You know, we might get lucky for a soft opening for the Toy Story mania ride. They are already testing the ride vehicles!

This weekend we are going to stay dry or build an ark.

Well, we are staying in. Waiting for dh to get home so I can dose all of us up with tamiflu.

We are having brinner tonight. That is when you eat breakfast for dinner. ;) Bacon and eggs. We love brinner! Since we moved into the neighborhood, brinner has become a very popular meal! We have convinces everyone that you should have brinner at least once a week!

We have the 4th grade rabbit for the weekend. Dd is so excited! She can hardly separate herself from the critter. She is carrying that poor animal everywhere.

Tomorrow is dh's birthday. Not sure what he wants to do on his day. I do know that we have an engagement party to go to tomorrow night, so that should be fun.

[lakehead92]

good morning

Big Hugs and get well soon wishes going out to those who need them.

It cold here this week... people are even calling it a deep freeze. ( Oh if they had only grown up in northern ontario with me). I grew up a half hour away from the Ontario/Minnesota border on Lake Superior ( hence the name lakehead), and when we were kids ... we had some wicked winters. ( wicked as in good.) Lots of cold and snow = great downhill skiing. Unfortunately there are no hills even close to here.


We are all relatively over the colds and almost done the bedroom painting, although the colour I chose is going to take a while to get used to. Most of the house is in shades of beige, and the bedroom is being painted a vibrant garnet... so it's definitely different but really cool at the same time.


Seacrest congrats on the return trip to florida, how great.


So I guess it's back to work on the bedroom...
I'll catch you later

Lake! :wave2:

[huggiebear23]

Happy Sunday Everyone!!

I am tired, yesterday we had Dance class, then 2 bday parties and a trip to see my Inlaws. It was a long day.

I finished the painting in the living room and now I have to paint the moulding today. So it shouldnt be too bad.

So I was talking to Dh today about the airfare and it doesnt go down we might just go to Disney a night earlier. So we can be fresh the first day.

I have to ask my mom how much more that would be.

Seacrest- Good video.

New Crew- Happy bday to your dh

Jo- How was soccer.



and HELLO to everyone else!!!:banana: :love:

[NewCrew42]

Huggie - Sounds like the painting is going well and you have applied the final coat. I bet you are ready to be finished. I just love fresh paint. It makes everything seem new.

Lake do you feel like you are sleeping in a strange place?

I wonder if I should paint something? :idea: My baseboards in the kitchen should use a touch up. They are really looking banged up.


Good news, so far dh, dd and myself do not have flu symptoms. Yeah! :woohoo: Poor ds is still feeling yucky. He still had a slight temp yesterday. I will have to see how he does today. We are all staying home from church today.

Have a great day MAYers! :snooty:

Uh, didn't :snooty: used to be on the main smilie page? :confused3

[sulleyfan]

Hey MAYERS!!!

So sorry for not checking in with a full reply sooner, I had a nice one all ready to enter on Wednesday and the site signed me out and made me lose it all :(

So here's 7 days in short....

Day 1 - Check-In to Housing/CP

I started my day by taking a Taxi from CR to Vista Way to get everything checked in. I arrived there around 8:45, and there was already quite a line going, even though officially check-in was from 9am - 1pm. It took me about an hour or so to move through all of the stations of check-in. One of the first ones was housing assignments. I had really wanted to be in a 3-bedroom at Chatham, which is the newer of the two complexes. I figured a 3-bed would be ideal 1) because each bedroom has its own bathroom 2) it's cheaper than a 1 or 2-bed and 3) with a 5 other roommates, you're bound to get along with at least one of them. I got what I wanted for housing and was assigned an apartment in Chatham Square.

After finishing all of the stations, I made my way to where the busses were transferring from one complex to the other and waited for about 45 minutes while the drivers discussed how best to load the busses. Now if you're one of the ones who think that resort transportation can be a bit hairy....These guys had nothing on the resort buses. The bus I was on got lost in the 2 mile drive from Vista to Chatham, and turned the wrong way into the complex, thus going the wrong way down a one-way street. I arrived at the apartment to find that my other 5 roommates had already arrived and were getting unpacked. I met Jody, who I share a room with, and started meeting the others. I was totally surprised that one roommate was someone I was friends with on Facebook. While I was meeting people, other people from the apartments around me started coming in, and again, there were more people that I had already befriended from Facebook.

Just an aside, in our building there are three floors, with six apartments on the first floor and two apartments on the top two floors. The top two floors are basically one big group of people who pretty much all knew each other from Facebook before arriving. We all pretty much come and go from each others apartments at random now.

Now we weren't supposed to get our assignments til the next day, but a group of us had figured out how to access the computer and see where we were that morning. I didn't have a particular attraction assigned but I found out that I would be in Epcot! After getting my stuff unpacked, a group of us decided to go grab some lunch before going to our housing meeting. We went to Steak and Shake which was a new experience since we don't have those in NE, and then went to our housing meeting, which basically was to give us the rules and do's and don'ts. After getting back from the housing meeting, we all went our separate ways for a while. I rode the bus to Walmart. The buses are very convenient, but I overestimated just how much stuff I could manage to carry back from Walmart and ended up having a hard time getting it back to my aparment.

Day 2 - Work Assignments

The first day required signing a lot of documents, but day 2 was really signing your life away. The first stop was filling out all of the government paperwork required to legally work. After that we were given our work locations. I was assigned to Epcot Future World East Attractions, which is Test Track, Mission: Space, Universe of Energy and Spaceship Earth. I kept moving through the stations until I met one of my coordinators (bosses) for Epcot, who informed me that I had been assigned to....




Mission:Space




I was nowhere near thrilled that this was my assignment, because as all of you know, I am not a fan of big, scary, fast rides (but it's much better now). My roommates include a Jungle Cruise Skipper, a Hostess at Spoodles, a Hostess at Tony's Town Square, front desk at CSR, and attractions at Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Playhouse Disney

After finishing up with all of our stations, we went back to our apartments. I was puttering around in the kitchen and was wanting to cool off my bottle of water, so I opened the freezer door to find this...
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r300/sulleyfan/WDWCP-Spring08/champagneexplosion.jpg
Someone had left two bottles of champagne in the freezer overnight! Oops! :eek:

That evening our apartment hosted a dinner party. At one point in the evening there were probably 20 people in and around our apartment. Our apartment has basically become the hangout for a number of people and we have a few honorary roommates that are basically welcome at any hour.

Day 3 - Traditions

Traditions was fun, except for the fact that we had to be on the bus at 6:55am after staying up really late the night before. I rode the bus with Liz (roommate), Brad, and Guy (honorary roomies). I was glad to have Liz in the group I was in, it was nice to have someone I already knew to sit with. Traditions lasted until noon, and at that point we all had our IDs, so we could all get into the parks for free. We went back to our apartments to change. Liz and I made a run to Walgreens and while we were gone, the boys decided to do laundry, so we waited for them to finish before heading to the parks.

Around 3:15, we finally arrived at DHS. The first order of business was to ride RnR, I walked the queue with them, but exitted before the ride and did the same with ToT which was next. After that we went on GMR and then the Muppets 3:D show. We wanted to catch up to a few more friends that had the late Traditions class and see Wishes, so we headed over to MK. We all got there around 6:30, so we had an hour and a half to play before Wishes. We rode HM and then BTMRR! I actually rode it!!!! It scared me senseless and it took me about 10 minutes after exitting to get my footing back, but I survided it. We made our way back to Main Street and stood there in awe of Wishes as a group.

At that point, none of us had eaten since noon-ish, so we decided to grab dinner at Denny's. We had an awesome waiter, who kept bringing us soda even though we didn't order it and biscuits, and just random things. Most of us had to work the next day, so we piled back into the cars and came back to get some shuteye.

Day 4, 5, 6 - Training!!

Everyone in my apartment that was scheduled for Thursday had a morning schedule, except for me. I was scheduled to work from 1:15 til 10 that night at Mission:Space, so I took the opportunity that morning to do some laundry (yay for clean clothes!).

I arrived at the Cast building at Epcot to meet my trainer around 1, the first thing we did was get my costume....Now for those of you who have ridden M:S, did you notice how "interesting" the costumes are? They're light blue and grey with red ribbing and made completely of polyester! After suiting up, we went on a tour of the backstage areas that I am around and then went through the building as a normal guest. My trainer wanted me to go on the ride, but didn't force me to, so I managed to get as far as the loading bay and then decided to not actually ride.

We went over some of the more technical stuff regarding rides and then since the ride was slow and there was a bay that wasn't loading guests, I got to train on it instead of using the online simulations, which was a lot better. I also got to see the whole ride show without all of the ride in motion, which was nice and made me realize that I didn't ever want to ride the ride for real :).

Friday and yesterday, I opened and got to operate different stations of the ride with guests, with my trainer standing by.

Day 7 - Free Day!

Today's my only day off until next Saturday (when my family gets here!), so I'm dealing with some housekeeping things around the apartment and might go to the parks later if I feel better. I started feeling sick on Wednesday with a sore throat and cold and now its just a nasty cough which nothing seems to be kicking. Other than that today's plan is to be pretty mellow.

That's my first week in a nutshell (albeit a rather large nutshell :))

[lakehead92]

Huggie - Sounds like the painting is going well and you have applied the final coat. I bet you are ready to be finished. I just love fresh paint. It makes everything seem new.

Lake do you feel like you are sleeping in a strange place?

I wonder if I should paint something? :idea: My baseboards in the kitchen should use a touch up. They are really looking banged up.


Good news, so far dh, dd and myself do not have flu symptoms. Yeah! :woohoo: Poor ds is still feeling yucky. He still had a slight temp yesterday. I will have to see how he does today. We are all staying home from church today.

Have a great day MAYers! :snooty:

Uh, didn't :snooty: used to be on the main smilie page? :confused3



absolutely... it was a different feeling going to sleep last night in a much different room.
but this morning i am loving it.



Sulley- so glad the week went well an dthat you have met up with some of your facebook friends, that is pretty cool to get to meet them in person... haha I guess its kind of like meeting Mayers in person.
I too am on facebook, and I know what a marvel it can be. ( if anyone else is and want to be..."friends" just let me know. :P)

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hi Sulley! :yay:

So good to hear from you!! I was wondering when you were going to check in next.

WOW you have been a busy girl! Sounds like so much fun!

Glad you got the housing assignment you wanted. How did you like Steak & Shake? I love that place! :goodvibes

Will you be assigned to Mission Space for your whole stay? Or will you get to do different things? We've never ridden Mission Space before. I was thinking about DS8 & I trying the newer less intense version in May. Maybe you will get to work at Test Track next! That is one of our family's favorites!! DH is like you and doesn't like the fast rides, but last May I talked him into trying TT and he absolutely loved it!! It really isn't that scray, I promise!

Hey maybe your roommate that got assigned to CSR front desk can get me a good room in May!!

Can't wait to hear more of your exciting adventures! :cool1: Until then, well I'm stuck here in PA in the snow and cold. :sad2:

Have a great week! :grouphug:

[NewCrew42]

Yay Sulley! What an awesome report. It was just like being there!

Woo Hoo for BTMRR! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

How 'bout that freezer! :scared1: Glad I didn't have to clean that up!

That is so cool that you know so many people from Facebook. I am sure that made for an easier transition for ya!

I love Mission Space! I think it is one of the most magical rides at WDW. I really feel like I am blasting off! Dd and Dh ride non-spinning so they do not feel :sick: . But Ds and I ride the spinning. Last time I rode with ds, one of the CMs asked, "Will you and your SISTER be riding spinning or non-spinning?" :rolleyes1 Well, I know that I do not look like I could be his sister, but that CM made my day! :love:

Just file that line in the back of your head, and save it for a magical moment for someone!

Green with envy! :thumbsup2

:thumbsup2 Uh, didn't this guy used to be on the main smilie page too? :confused3

[NewCrew42]

absolutely... it was a different feeling going to sleep last night in a much different room.
but this morning i am loving it.

Even in dark, you can tell it is a different color can't you? :rotfl:

[seacrestpromo]

WOW Sulley! Thanks for the great update. Congrats on riding BTMRR!!! You have a great area to host at EPCOT. Can't wait to hear more!

[JoBird]

Sulley! You are awesome to be giving us a report when you are feeling crummy and have so much to do. Thanks so much for keeping us up to date on your progress.

I have to say that I am a daredevil. I always have been. Been riding anything and everything I could since my Mom put me on the swings at our local fair at 18 months old, followed imediately by the double ferris wheel.:lovestruc

HOWEVER...
I have never had the nerve to ride M:S!!!!!!!! I am a big chicken as far as that ride goes. I have vowed to ride the less intense one this October. Mary Cat has my sense of adventure and has been dying to ride it. So, just for her, and in honor of you, I WILL RIDE.:laughing: Woo- Hoo!!!!!

The champagne was a lovely disaster...looked, um, foamy!:)

So glad you are having a great time, but sorry you are feeling a tad sick. Take care of yourself- you don't want to be sick when your parents come.

Have fun and congrats on riding BTMRR! Before long, you will be riding R'N'R and TOT without even blinking. Yay Sulley!!!!!

Have a good day and week if you can't check in sooner.

Hey MAYERS!!!

So sorry for not checking in with a full reply sooner, I had a nice one all ready to enter on Wednesday and the site signed me out and made me lose it all :(

So here's 7 days in short....

Day 1 - Check-In to Housing/CP

I started my day by taking a Taxi from CR to Vista Way to get everything checked in. I arrived there around 8:45, and there was already quite a line going, even though officially check-in was from 9am - 1pm. It took me about an hour or so to move through all of the stations of check-in. One of the first ones was housing assignments. I had really wanted to be in a 3-bedroom at Chatham, which is the newer of the two complexes. I figured a 3-bed would be ideal 1) because each bedroom has its own bathroom 2) it's cheaper than a 1 or 2-bed and 3) with a 5 other roommates, you're bound to get along with at least one of them. I got what I wanted for housing and was assigned an apartment in Chatham Square.

After finishing all of the stations, I made my way to where the busses were transferring from one complex to the other and waited for about 45 minutes while the drivers discussed how best to load the busses. Now if you're one of the ones who think that resort transportation can be a bit hairy....These guys had nothing on the resort buses. The bus I was on got lost in the 2 mile drive from Vista to Chatham, and turned the wrong way into the complex, thus going the wrong way down a one-way street. I arrived at the apartment to find that my other 5 roommates had already arrived and were getting unpacked. I met Jody, who I share a room with, and started meeting the others. I was totally surprised that one roommate was someone I was friends with on Facebook. While I was meeting people, other people from the apartments around me started coming in, and again, there were more people that I had already befriended from Facebook.

Just an aside, in our building there are three floors, with six apartments on the first floor and two apartments on the top two floors. The top two floors are basically one big group of people who pretty much all knew each other from Facebook before arriving. We all pretty much come and go from each others apartments at random now.

Now we weren't supposed to get our assignments til the next day, but a group of us had figured out how to access the computer and see where we were that morning. I didn't have a particular attraction assigned but I found out that I would be in Epcot! After getting my stuff unpacked, a group of us decided to go grab some lunch before going to our housing meeting. We went to Steak and Shake which was a new experience since we don't have those in NE, and then went to our housing meeting, which basically was to give us the rules and do's and don'ts. After getting back from the housing meeting, we all went our separate ways for a while. I rode the bus to Walmart. The buses are very convenient, but I overestimated just how much stuff I could manage to carry back from Walmart and ended up having a hard time getting it back to my aparment.

Day 2 - Work Assignments

The first day required signing a lot of documents, but day 2 was really signing your life away. The first stop was filling out all of the government paperwork required to legally work. After that we were given our work locations. I was assigned to Epcot Future World East Attractions, which is Test Track, Mission: Space, Universe of Energy and Spaceship Earth. I kept moving through the stations until I met one of my coordinators (bosses) for Epcot, who informed me that I had been assigned to....




Mission:Space




I was nowhere near thrilled that this was my assignment, because as all of you know, I am not a fan of big, scary, fast rides (but it's much better now). My roommates include a Jungle Cruise Skipper, a Hostess at Spoodles, a Hostess at Tony's Town Square, front desk at CSR, and attractions at Voyage of the Little Mermaid and Playhouse Disney

After finishing up with all of our stations, we went back to our apartments. I was puttering around in the kitchen and was wanting to cool off my bottle of water, so I opened the freezer door to find this...
http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r300/sulleyfan/WDWCP-Spring08/champagneexplosion.jpg
Someone had left two bottles of champagne in the freezer overnight! Oops! :eek:

That evening our apartment hosted a dinner party. At one point in the evening there were probably 20 people in and around our apartment. Our apartment has basically become the hangout for a number of people and we have a few honorary roommates that are basically welcome at any hour.

Day 3 - Traditions

Traditions was fun, except for the fact that we had to be on the bus at 6:55am after staying up really late the night before. I rode the bus with Liz (roommate), Brad, and Guy (honorary roomies). I was glad to have Liz in the group I was in, it was nice to have someone I already knew to sit with. Traditions lasted until noon, and at that point we all had our IDs, so we could all get into the parks for free. We went back to our apartments to change. Liz and I made a run to Walgreens and while we were gone, the boys decided to do laundry, so we waited for them to finish before heading to the parks.

Around 3:15, we finally arrived at DHS. The first order of business was to ride RnR, I walked the queue with them, but exitted before the ride and did the same with ToT which was next. After that we went on GMR and then the Muppets 3:D show. We wanted to catch up to a few more friends that had the late Traditions class and see Wishes, so we headed over to MK. We all got there around 6:30, so we had an hour and a half to play before Wishes. We rode HM and then BTMRR! I actually rode it!!!! It scared me senseless and it took me about 10 minutes after exitting to get my footing back, but I survided it. We made our way back to Main Street and stood there in awe of Wishes as a group.

At that point, none of us had eaten since noon-ish, so we decided to grab dinner at Denny's. We had an awesome waiter, who kept bringing us soda even though we didn't order it and biscuits, and just random things. Most of us had to work the next day, so we piled back into the cars and came back to get some shuteye.

Day 4, 5, 6 - Training!!

Everyone in my apartment that was scheduled for Thursday had a morning schedule, except for me. I was scheduled to work from 1:15 til 10 that night at Mission:Space, so I took the opportunity that morning to do some laundry (yay for clean clothes!).

I arrived at the Cast building at Epcot to meet my trainer around 1, the first thing we did was get my costume....Now for those of you who have ridden M:S, did you notice how "interesting" the costumes are? They're light blue and grey with red ribbing and made completely of polyester! After suiting up, we went on a tour of the backstage areas that I am around and then went through the building as a normal guest. My trainer wanted me to go on the ride, but didn't force me to, so I managed to get as far as the loading bay and then decided to not actually ride.

We went over some of the more technical stuff regarding rides and then since the ride was slow and there was a bay that wasn't loading guests, I got to train on it instead of using the online simulations, which was a lot better. I also got to see the whole ride show without all of the ride in motion, which was nice and made me realize that I didn't ever want to ride the ride for real :).

Friday and yesterday, I opened and got to operate different stations of the ride with guests, with my trainer standing by.

Day 7 - Free Day!

Today's my only day off until next Saturday (when my family gets here!), so I'm dealing with some housekeeping things around the apartment and might go to the parks later if I feel better. I started feeling sick on Wednesday with a sore throat and cold and now its just a nasty cough which nothing seems to be kicking. Other than that today's plan is to be pretty mellow.

That's my first week in a nutshell (albeit a rather large nutshell :))



Sulley- Congrats and I am glad you checked in with us. I can't wait to meet you in May. I remember those outfits on Mission Space. CoOL :)

Hope you feel better. Maybe you should get some Airborne. I love that stuff. Keep checking in. .

Hey Sulley.... I"m glad you checked in... I'm happy that you are having a good time.... Enjoy yourself... but take care of yourself....


Hey maybe your roommate that got assigned to CSR front desk can get me a good room in May!!

Have a great week! :grouphug:
I'm with Shelly on this one.....

[mari360]

Hey all.... I had a fun day today.... i was at home all morning with the DH and DD... then I went to a Tricky Tray with one of my friends.... all i ended up winning was a tupperware set and carwash... hey it's better then nothing... now i'm relaxing at home... Well not really relaxing... My lovely DH decided to do laundry and now that i got home i have to fold everything... So i'll be off folding clothes...

[CleKait]

Cool update Sulley!
Mission Space is the one ride I'm not sure about riding when I go down. :sad2:
Congrats on riding BTMRR :thumbsup2
The champagne in the freezer made me laugh, how did your roommates ever get the big ice cube of champagne out? :rotfl:

Mari what's a Tricky Tray? Congrats on your prizes. Speaking of car wash, mine needs one bad, thanks to all of the salt and dirt from the road. :headache:

Sunday was uneventful here. My mom made Lasagna and I made some chocolate chip cookies, which turned out much much better than the last time I made them.

We're are almost in the single digits for our countdowns! :banana:

Hey well a Tricky Tray is when an organization gets together and basically raffles off things at a sitdown lunch. For ex the one i went to for today was a catholic school... so the parents and different sponsors donate things and the school sells tickets for the event this one was $30 a ticket. WIth it you get a couple of tickets you can put in a basket for individual prizes. THey give you the option of purchasing more tickets if you want. And throughout lunch or dinner they just call of numbers and you win the prizes... its all for the school... it was nice...this was the 2nd one i've been to... Some lady won a 6day/5night trip to WDW... I was SOOOO Jealous here i am having to pay for mine she gets it for free....:mad:

Sounds like fun Mari! Except for watching someone else win a trip to Disney. :sad2:

[Momof2Disneyboys]

We're are almost in the single digits for our countdowns! :banana:


I know, isn't that awesome?!? :cool1:

By the end of this week we will reach a new month and be in the single digits!! YAY MAYers!!:snooty:

[mari360]

OH Yeah Dis is almost here.... I can't wait.... WOOHOO... the boards have been slow since friday....what is going on....

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Not sure what everyone is up to. . . . :confused3

I'm just hagning around the house FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS!!! :lmao: :rotfl2:

I started working on our taxes today. :worship: Hoping for another big refund like last year so I can pay for this trip!! :lmao:

[seacrestpromo]

Good morning.

Well it isn't raining yet. I am so tired of the rain, but it is still in the forecast for today and most of this week.

We saw so many accidents on the freeways and the streets over the weekend. I am glad I wasn't one of them!

[seacrestpromo]

Taxes...I hate doing my taxes! Oh well, this is the first year I got my wife to help me out with all the paperwork.

[sulleyfan]

Mornin' Mayers! I had park orientation today, so it's a short day for work yay! (it's weird having park orientation after being trained, for most of the other people there, it was their first time in the park as employees).

Hi Sulley! :yay:

So good to hear from you!! I was wondering when you were going to check in next.

WOW you have been a busy girl! Sounds like so much fun!

Glad you got the housing assignment you wanted. How did you like Steak & Shake? I love that place! :goodvibes

Will you be assigned to Mission Space for your whole stay? Or will you get to do different things? We've never ridden Mission Space before. I was thinking about DS8 & I trying the newer less intense version in May. Maybe you will get to work at Test Track next! That is one of our family's favorites!! DH is like you and doesn't like the fast rides, but last May I talked him into trying TT and he absolutely loved it!! It really isn't that scray, I promise!

Hey maybe your roommate that got assigned to CSR front desk can get me a good room in May!!

Can't wait to hear more of your exciting adventures! :cool1: Until then, well I'm stuck here in PA in the snow and cold. :sad2:

Have a great week! :grouphug:

Steak & Shake was good, something new to try. As of right now, I'm only going to be at Mission:Space, but I may cross-train at something else on that side of the park before May, my trainer suggested Test Track....I'll definitely let y'all know where I'm at when you come. I am missing the snow back home a little (very little, but I do).

Sulley! You are awesome to be giving us a report when you are feeling crummy and have so much to do. Thanks so much for keeping us up to date on your progress.

I have to say that I am a daredevil. I always have been. Been riding anything and everything I could since my Mom put me on the swings at our local fair at 18 months old, followed imediately by the double ferris wheel.:lovestruc

HOWEVER...
I have never had the nerve to ride M:S!!!!!!!! I am a big chicken as far as that ride goes. I have vowed to ride the less intense one this October. Mary Cat has my sense of adventure and has been dying to ride it. So, just for her, and in honor of you, I WILL RIDE.:laughing: Woo- Hoo!!!!!

So glad you are having a great time, but sorry you are feeling a tad sick. Take care of yourself- you don't want to be sick when your parents come.

Have a good day and week if you can't check in sooner.

:hug:
JO

I bet you and Mary Cat will like it if you like rides, especially the less intense version. Saturday when I worked front of the house I had more than a couple people come through on the Green side first, then go for the Orange.

Sulley- Congrats and I am glad you checked in with us. I can't wait to meet you in May. I remember those outfits on Mission Space. CoOL :)

Hope you feel better. Maybe you should get some Airborne. I love that stuff. Keep checking in. .

Those outfits are....interesting....I've never worn so much polyester in my life, but they are pretty comfortable.

Cool update Sulley!

We're are almost in the single digits for our countdowns! :banana:

If you don't want to ride the ride, and the line's not long, I'd walk the queue at least and see all of the pre-shows. We are very well set up for opting out of the ride and the pre-shows are really cool. I've done that on RnR and ToT, since I really wanted to see the RnR pre-show w/ my friends and it apparently happens all the time.

The champagne was cleaned up by using our huge metal cooking spoon and scooping it out of the freezer into a trash can....We tasted some of it, thinking it'd be like a champagne Icee, it wasn't.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hi Sulley! :goodvibes

Are you feeling better today?

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Sulley - Question for you. . . DH won't ride RNRC, and DS6 isn't tall enough. DS8 & I love this ride! I really want DH to see the pre-show. Can him and DS6 walk through the queue with us and watch the pre-show and then exit? Or isn't that possible since DS6 isn't tall enough to enter? :confused3

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

WOW! how fun Sulley! great to hear from you!!!

[sulleyfan]

Hi Sulley! :goodvibes

Are you feeling better today?

A bit better, my cough is still icky, but at least I'm not squeaking when I talk :)

Sulley - Question for you. . . DH won't ride RNRC, and DS6 isn't tall enough. DS8 & I love this ride! I really want DH to see the pre-show. Can him and DS6 walk through the queue with us and watch the pre-show and then exit? Or isn't that possible since DS6 isn't tall enough to enter? :confused3

I don't know whether they would let him walk the pre-show or not, I'd definitely ask the person at the entrance, and make sure they understand that he's not going to ride. I know that we're allowed to do that in some situations.

[sulleyfan]

WOW! how fun Sulley! great to hear from you!!!

Hi DMM! How'd Roman do w/ getting his tubes? Hope all is well for you :)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thanks sulley! The tubes go in Feb 26th, he's just been getting a lot of hearing tests and meeting with his ped recently. it's been nuts and I think the poor guy just wants to be left alone! haha

Yesterday was his baptism and he slept the entire time and even through the brunch, so I don't think he realizes it was his special day :)

Thanks for asking about him!

[mari360]

Not sure what everyone is up to. . . . :confused3

I'm just hagning around the house FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS!!! :lmao: :rotfl2:

I started working on our taxes today. :worship: Hoping for another big refund like last year so I can pay for this trip!! :lmao:
Good Luck with taxes... My mother is an accountant so she does mine....

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

hm,,,...I want an accountant in the family!

[mari360]

i told her it was the best thing she could have done... she didn't complete college until about 10 years ago so ever since i've been working she has done my taxes.... during tax season she works at H&R Block.... what a releif for me...

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good Luck with taxes... My mother is an accountant so she does mine....


I have been doing ours for about 3-4 years now. I am thinking about taking the tax course next fall and then working at H&R Block or another tax place. DS6 will be in school all day next year. I don't really want to go back to work at the bank, they are so UN-flexible with the hours. Working Jan-April would be perfect for me!

[mari360]

That is a good idea..my mom o nly works like 20 hour a week after her regular job.... some people do it and work a couple of hours only so that they can do thier taxes and their families taxes for free my mom told me... she said they don't pay much but it's ok.

[NewCrew42]

Sulley - Question for you. . . DH won't ride RNRC, and DS6 isn't tall enough. DS8 & I love this ride! I really want DH to see the pre-show. Can him and DS6 walk through the queue with us and watch the pre-show and then exit? Or isn't that possible since DS6 isn't tall enough to enter? :confused3

Hey Shelly! I think they will not let him go thru the line unless he is tall enough to ride. This is the first ride we ride in the mornings when we go to DHS. There is often a little back up at the entrance due to children being measured and CMs trying to explain the height requirement and that chidlren not tall enough to ride cannot enter. Last May they would not let the kids in unless they were tall enough to ride.

You could do a child swap, get the pass, ride with your ds, then let your hubby go thru and see the preshow ( be sure to tell him to stay in the line long enough to see the cars take off, that part is so cool), they will probably let your oldest ds go thru the line with your hubby. Chris used to get to ride things twice in a row like this. He would ride with me. Then DH and Chris would go ride on the child swap. (I know you said your hubby isn't riding but just keep that in mind.)

Hope that helps!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Thanks NC! Wow that seems like a lot of trouble just to see the pre-show. I'm sure DH will say just forget it! I really want him to see it though because it is so neat!

Oh well, we'll see. . .

[CleKait]

If you don't want to ride the ride, and the line's not long, I'd walk the queue at least and see all of the pre-shows. We are very well set up for opting out of the ride and the pre-shows are really cool.

Oh cool, I might have to do that even if I chicken out. My mom really wants to ride it though. I'm just afraid it'll make me dizzy.

That's a bummer that the ice didn't taste like champagne :rotfl:





Shelly are you enjoying this mini heat wave?

[NewCrew42]

Thanks NC! Wow that seems like a lot of trouble just to see the pre-show. I'm sure DH will say just forget it! I really want him to see it though because it is so neat!

Oh well, we'll see. . .

It does sound like a lot of trouble but it is easier than it sounds.

When dd was tall enough for some rides, she wasn't read to ride them yet. So we became expert child swappers.

[mari360]

Am i weird... I LOVE LOVE LOVE WDW but i will not go on the rides... maybe the baby rides... i'm not a ride person but i so love the park....

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Shelly are you enjoying this mini heat wave?



Yeah, 40 degrees!! Woo-hoo ~ :woohoo: ! Supposed to rain all day tomorrow. :sad2: The kids are afraid that their snowman is going to melt.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Am i weird... I LOVE LOVE LOVE WDW but i will not go on the rides... maybe the baby rides... i'm not a ride person but i so love the park....



Mari - I didn't know that you weren't a "ride person"! And I thought I knew my MAYer friends so well! :rotfl:

Well maybe I can talk you into one big ride in MAY!! How about RNRC?!? It's my favorite!! I promise you can't even tell you are going upside down because you are GOING SO FAST!!! :lmao: :goodvibes


Mari ~ Huggie ~ Kait ~ Do you know your park days yet??? We should list them so we can be on the lookout for each other again!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

It does sound like a lot of trouble but it is easier than it sounds.

I'm sure it's not really that much trouble. We have just never had to use child swap before. DS6 is so short and DH doesn't care for thrill rides that much, so we are usually good! They are happy just waiting for DS8 and I in the gift shops at the end of the rides!

[seacrestpromo]

On all of the rides you can go all the way through up to the ride platform and sneak out through an exit if you don't want to ride the ride. Just tell a CM that you want to exit. They will be very happy to help you.

[seacrestpromo]

RNR is a very cool ride. The launch is very similar to California Screamin'. It is on my to do list in the fall!

[huggiebear23]

I have been doing ours for about 3-4 years now. I am thinking about taking the tax course next fall and then working at H&R Block or another tax place. DS6 will be in school all day next year. I don't really want to go back to work at the bank, they are so UN-flexible with the hours. Working Jan-April would be perfect for me!

We have an acct do ours. This year I donated alot of things to charity and have all my reciepts like a good girl.

Am i weird... I LOVE LOVE LOVE WDW but i will not go on the rides... maybe the baby rides... i'm not a ride person but i so love the park....


WHAT NO RIDES. I Love the rides. I ride them all. The only one that bothers me is the Tower of Terror

Mari - I didn't know that you weren't a "ride person"! And I thought I knew my MAYer friends so well! :rotfl:

Well maybe I can talk you into one big ride in MAY!! How about RNRC?!? It's my favorite!! I promise you can't even tell you are going upside down because you are GOING SO FAST!!! :lmao: :goodvibes


Mari ~ Huggie ~ Kait ~ Do you know your park days yet??? We should list them so we can be on the lookout for each other again!


I have to get my list together and email it to you.

[seacrestpromo]

Huggie - I am with you about the rides, you gotta try them at least once. TOT is a bit unnerving to me too, especially when the elevator shakes you...reminds me of the earthquakes we go through in California. LOL! I am there to get my moneys worth - hit those rides!

[NewCrew42]

Am i weird... I LOVE LOVE LOVE WDW but i will not go on the rides... maybe the baby rides... i'm not a ride person but i so love the park....

Mari - I had no idea. There are some amazing "pre-shows" or ques for some of the rides.

I think EE has an awesome que. It is like you are in a museum for the yeti. I think they did an awesome job on que for this ride. Same thing for Kali River Rapids. Not quite as great but good still. It took me several trips plus 2 rain ponchos before I would go on this ride. Now I really like it, but hate being wet.

What are your favorite ride preshows or ques?

Muppet 3-D is one of my favs. I am just smitten with that TV pre-show. :love:

[NewCrew42]

I have been doing ours for about 3-4 years now. I am thinking about taking the tax course next fall and then working at H&R Block or another tax place. DS6 will be in school all day next year.

Mari - I didn't know that you weren't a "ride person"! And I thought I knew my MAYer friends so well! :rotfl:

Well maybe I can talk you into one big ride in MAY!! How about RNRC?!? It's my favorite!! I promise you can't even tell you are going upside down because you are GOING SO FAST!!! :lmao: :goodvibes


Mari ~ Huggie ~ Kait ~ Do you know your park days yet??? We should list them so we can be on the lookout for each other again!

It's been recently that i do not do rides... last couple of years i used to LOVE rides.... maybe i will try one in May.....

I have my days I think I'll post them tommorow i have them at work I also want to change around some ADR's....


WHAT NO RIDES. I Love the rides. I ride them all. The only one that bothers me is the Tower of Terror
I have to get my list together and email it to you.

I get scared just thinking about TOT.... :scared1:

[CleKait]

I get scared just thinking about TOT.... :scared1:

I wouldn't even look at it on the last trip, but after riding the Pitt Fall at Kennywood (it just takes you up and drops you) I'm ready to ride TOT :cool1:




I'm still trying to figure out our days. I do know we are going to go to DTD the day we arrive and sunday is Magic Kingdom. Still trying to figure out the rest of the days.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning! :goodvibes

I'm off to WalMart. I'll check in later this morning! :)

[JoBird]

Hi all-

What can any of you tell me about the Contemporary...??????:confused: :sad2:

Looking at that resort now. I/*we* can't seem to make up our minds as to the resort! just when we think we are going to do one thing, we change our minds!

Hope all is well with you all.
I'm still struggling with the new med, so I am not doing as great as I'd like, but hopefully it will wear off soon and I will get used to it.

Not long now MAYers...

Jo

PS>>>

Happy (1 Day Late) Anniversary, MAYers!!!!

Wow slow morning. I made it to WalMart and the car wash and back and only one post!

Hope you'll be doing better soon JO. :hug:
The Contemporary??? That's DH's pick for a deluxe, mine is the Poly! I'd say, if you have the choice, try something new! :thumbsup2

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hey Shelly-

Yes, the dang Contemporary!!!!:rotfl:

You know, growing up, we both thought if you could stay at the Contemporary, that it was the neatest thing and your parents must love you a whole bunch, because only the coolest kids got to stay there. Not to mention the Monorail...

Anyway,
IF and it's a BIG if, they release room only rates for October like they have in thepast, then I could get a theme park view in the tower fornot much more than I am paying now for POFQ.

Makes sense to Mark.:goodvibes
However, I am concerned as always, with lack of space. But dang! Being able to sit on your balcony at night after you put the kids to bed and watching the MK is worth a lot of money to me!:laughing:
Especially since MNSSHP will be going on...
And being a 5 minute walk to the gate of MK...
WOW.

For the same $ at the POLY, I'd have to get a garden room,
and those are standard and might over look something awful...LOL. I just can't afford it all, but I'd like to.:laughing:

HAHAHAHAHA.

[JoBird]

Wow that sounds like a great deal! I say GO FOR IT!!! :wizard:

[mari360]

Its funny Jo because me and my DH were thinking about changing to CRT that would be great.... the rooms look great and it would be great to overlook the park from ones room... but it's like 1000 more then CSR so we'll see....

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Okay Mari ~ Huggie ~ Here are my park days:


Sat May10 - Late arrival
Sun May11 - DTD, DHS for dinner & Fantasmic
Mon May12 - Epcot
Tue May13 - MK
Wed May14 -MK
Thu May15- Boardwalk, maybe MK late
Fri May16 - DHS, DTD
Sat May17 - AK, home

[JoBird]

It all depends on if you can get a code, and they will accept it for the resort.

It's a gamble, you know.

Maybe they will release something for the MAYers, since it's our anniversary, and all...:confused3

[JoBird]

Anyone know any tips to getting gum off of a very expensive dress shirt????:eek:

Mark is NOT happy!!!:guilty:

Mary Cat had gum in her pocket and washed and dried her clothes.
He came in behind her and threw his shirt in the dryer, and, well, you know what happened. :confused:

$80 shirt, ruined.
Oh good grief.

I've tried ice, and I got most of it off, but the little grooves in the fabric have it down in it.
YUK.

I guess I'll be going to Jos. A. Bank later on.

May 11-16 here! PORS - 1st time at this resort for us. Mason turns 1 on May 22nd so this is his "birthday trip".

Trip is just me and the 3 kids (DH will be gone on a 3 month Army training trip - boo hoo) flying down to meet up with the kids fabulous Godmother Aunt Liz.

I see my fellow Carolina girl on this thread! Howdy Jo! :yay:

Girl, how are you??????:hug:

How was Christmas? Did you get home? We were there, now we are back in PA.

So excited for you to go to WDW in MAy.

I won't be there, (I'm going to DL) but we all went last year in MAy and started this thread a year ago. So good of you to join us! We are celebrating our 1 year Anniversary today on this thread. Well, it was actually yesterday, but anyway, today is the celebration!:cheer2:

Shelly can tell you more, but they are planning a MAYers meet up at WCC, if you are interested.
Good to have you on board. We move fast at times, just jump in and talk. Other times we are slow as molasses in January ( I just had to get a Southern Girl thing in there...) but anyway, we're glad you're here!

Jo

[JoBird]

Hi DMM-

It's our 1 day late 1 year anniversary!!! :banana: :banana:

Yay for you who started it all!:cheer2:

YAY DMM !! :woohoo: :yay:


:grouphug:

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Oh geez, leave it to me to crash a thread a year late! :rotfl:

Thanks for the welcomes though - my kids are DD14, DD9 and DS8months (this is what happens when you say you are finished having kids!)... :rolleyes1

Michelle - I would never attempt to take 3 little ones to WDW alone. It is hard enough traveling with mine and the 2 older ones are huge helpers with the baby. Flying with all 3 is rough though - I don't look forward to that part of the trip at all.

Jo - yep we made it to CHS for 4 days. Rough flight down there then I got sick as a dog for a whole day while there but the Grandparents got to see the kiddos so that is what matters most right? I was too sick to get any Bessinger's BBQ though... :guilty:

So is anyone going THIS May to WDW? I couldn't go last May - was too busy giving birth. lol

Girl, I've got two gallons of their sauce in my fridge from when I went home.:rotfl: I Put a pork roast in the crock pot and cook it all day, add a bunch of their sauce... got your own Bessinger's Big Joe, right at your own kitchen table, hahaha. It gives new meaning to the phrase "Big Joe Pork", when said in my presence ( "Jo").:laughing:

Oh man I am soooooooooooooo jealous! Have some pity on me and send me some sauce... enough for a "Little Joe" is fine with me.

We have a Food Lion here - wonder if they carry the sauce. I never thought to check. The ones in CHS do.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Does anyone know where I can get kids Disney fanny packs???

The kids have used the ones I got them at WalMart for the last 2 trips, but they are cheap and have Scooby-Doo and Spiderman on them. I really want Disney ones. I looked on Ebay and all they have for kids is Disney Princesses. No good for my boys!

I also need one more little lanyard for DS6. I got them the cutest Disney autograph books on Ebay, and DS8's came with a lanyard, but DS6's didn't.

Shelly-
I don't know about fanny packs.:confused3 Um, have you checked Disney shopping? Other than there, I don't know.

Mari-
Your ADR's look good. I am ready to eat now, after the talk of BBQ and seeing Le Cellier and the like on your plans.

Not spring...just cold wet rain, as usual. It will be here soon enough.

hey! enjoyed the video yesterday!

I have been to the CR a few times. What would you like to know? I haven't been since the remodel. You know Sulley just stayed there one night, just before the CP. I love the CR. :love:

Anyone know any tips to getting gum off of a very expensive dress shirt????:eek:

Mark is NOT happy!!!:guilty:

Mary Cat had gum in her pocket and washed and dried her clothes.
He came in behind her and threw his shirt in the dryer, and, well, you know what happened. :confused:

$80 shirt, ruined.
Oh good grief.

I've tried ice, and I got most of it off, but the little grooves in the fabric have it down in it.
YUK.

I guess I'll be going to Jos. A. Bank later on.

Jo

OK... When I think a shirt is ruined, I will try about anything on it, because ruined is ruined. You can't ruin it anymore than it already is. Right?

Have you tried De-Solv-It or Goo Gone? Is it cotton? Not that I would know anything different.

We have had the old gum in the dryer thing, usually red gum! :scared1: It is a pain because it gets on everything.

May 11-16 here! PORS - 1st time at this resort for us. Mason turns 1 on May 22nd so this is his "birthday trip".

Trip is just me and the 3 kids (DH will be gone on a 3 month Army training trip - boo hoo) flying down to meet up with the kids fabulous Godmother Aunt Liz.

I see my fellow Carolina girl on this thread! Howdy Jo! :yay:

:)
Kelley

Hi Kelley! May 22 is my ds's birthday! He will be 13. What a fun birthday trip!

Is it Spring time yet?!


seriously :)

Yes, nearly 70 degrees here today. You know what that means. Severe weather coming soon.

Does anyone know where I can get kids Disney fanny packs???

The kids have used the ones I got them at WalMart for the last 2 trips, but they are cheap and have Scooby-Doo and Spiderman on them. I really want Disney ones. I looked on Ebay and all they have for kids is Disney Princesses. No good for my boys!

I have looked for those for my Chloe. Haven't found one. I did find her a cute fanny pack at Gap Kids last year. It was in the girls section. She will use it again this year.

[NewCrew42]

What's for lunch?

You'll never guess what I'm having! :rotfl:

[seacrestpromo]

Jo: Glad you liked the new video! Working on a new onride video tonight. How is your DL planning coming?

Shelly: I have seen the fanny packs for sale at DL. Want me to check on those the next time I am there?

CCF: Welcome to the board!

Mari: I like your ADR's - they are making me hungry right now.

DMM: Happy Anniversary! Thank you for starting this thread!

[seacrestpromo]

Food?



You'll never guess what I'm having! :rotfl:

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Shelly-
I don't know about fanny packs.:confused3 Um, have you checked Disney shopping? Other than there, I don't know.


Jo


Yep, checked Disney shopping and every place else I can think of. Maybe they don't make such a thing. . . :confused3

[JoBird]

NC~
Will I be miserable with 5 of us in the CR??? That's my main concern. Oh that's right, Sulley was there, wasn't she????

You must be hungry by now, even just a bit? You have strong will power! I admire you!
Lunch for me is vegetable soup. Still a tad queasy from the meds.

As to the shirt-
I haven't tried those yet. Thanks. Maybe they would work????

Be careful with the weather. The night we saw the tornado going down the street next to the house was the day I was ready to pack up and leave Arkansas!
:hug:

Jo

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Shelly - check in the camping section of Wal-mart for those fanny packs. I seem to remember seeing some there.

Jo - no worries. I'll have to get my BBQ fix in June when I take the kids to their Dad's.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Just call me the "better late than never" club charter member. :rotfl:

ADRs! ACK! We haven't made any yet - guess I need to do that ASAP. Any suggestions on the best place on property to celebrate Mason's first birthday? (NewCrew - want to join us for your son's induction into teenagerhood celebration?).

[NewCrew42]

Food?

Yes!

:lmao:

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Shelly: I have seen the fanny packs for sale at DL. Want me to check on those the next time I am there?



Yeah, if you think about it when you are there could you check it out? Thanks!

I read on another thread that they sell the black adult fanny packs that say WDW or DL and have the year. Not really what I am looking for. I want smaller ones for kids with Disney characters on them. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Goofy, Chip, Dale, Buzz, Woody, Pirates, Stitch, any of those would do! :goodvibes

[NewCrew42]

What the real question is what are you eating Seacrest? You always eat something yummy!

[ClarabelleCowFan]

Yep, checked Disney shopping and every place else I can think of. Maybe they don't make such a thing. . . :confused3

Just looked and there are some CUTE ones on ebay with Disney characters on them.

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=disney+fanny+pack&category0=

Hope that helps. When all else fails - check ebay.

Shelly - check in the camping section of Wal-mart for those fanny packs. I seem to remember seeing some there.

Jo - no worries. I'll have to get my BBQ fix in June when I take the kids to their Dad's.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Just call me the "better late than never" club charter member. :rotfl:

ADRs! ACK! We haven't made any yet - guess I need to do that ASAP. Any suggestions on the best place on property to celebrate Mason's first birthday? (NewCrew - want to join us for your son's induction into teenagerhood celebration?).


Ah, that is so sweet! I would love to!

There is just one problem...

We are going in April this year. :sad:

:laughing: Sea-
Planning, oh yeah, I am supposed to be planning, aren't I???:laughing:

Seriously...
I haven't made any ressies or anything yet. I'm still waiting on a few things. Mark may work it so I go with him to the conference at Huntington Beach, and if I do, I've got to wait until his flights are booked, etc. And then, we may just end up staying at what ever hotel they book for the entire trip.

There are some of our friends that will be there too that we knew from Arkansas and Mark works with, so we are still trying to get all of that straight before I make any definitive plans.

AND, then comes the part about taxes. I'm sorta' scared to even take it to the accountant.:laughing:
Anyway, a lot of moving parts going on in this vacation to your state, LOL.

You better get those ADR's made!! Are you doing the dining plan?

For your son's birthday I would suggest breakfast at Crystal Palace! pooh: :tigger: :eeyore: We did this for my son's 4th birthday in 2005. It was awesome! :goodvibes Our waitress sang to him, we got extra attention from the characters, he got a cupcake with a candle, and our table was sprinkled with pixie dust (mickey confetti!) ! pixiedust: It was very magical!

No dining plan this time - we are just going to wing it for the most part. Kona is always a must for us though so I need to make that ADR if nothing else then of course something fun for the birthday. Crystal Palace sounds fun - DS loves Pooh!

Happy Belated Anniversary Mayers!:grouphug:

The weather is driving me crazy...freezing one day and melting the next. Know wonder no one can shake the cough and colds this year.

Hey Seacrest how is that Cali weather...any thing good coming our way.
Now that christmas is through... I will admit that this former Winter loving girl, would like to get back outside into some warmer weather.
