DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[mm1971]

You didn't askl me but I believe it was this one, can't remember the model number.

I have one as well and it is a great bag. There are two lens pockets and you can easily leave on attached to the body. They take up about half of the bag and the other half if space for anything else you may like to carry. There are also outside pockets and a memory card pocket inside.

Thanks. Just ordered mine this morning! Sound like just what I need.

OK, I'm now at 99 posts. Who wants to be 100?

We bought 4-5 years ago and never regretted it. We committed to going once every 1-2 years and our family was getting big for a standard hotel room (with 3 kids). The suites are amazing and a great way to vacation. At the time, we figured that after 7-8 trips, we'd break even in terms of cost (think of it like a pre-paid vacation rather than a time share). The math has changed a bit now that Disney is offering more suite type options for cheaper costs, but I still think its probably a good deal for new buyers. Good luck!

Agree, great post

Morning gents. The roofers came at 7 this morning. This is the third new roof in six years.

Anyone seen Barry this morning? I heard an unconfirmed report that there is a run on Wisconsin liquor stores after the Badgers and Packers lost.

 

[Jousey]

Thank you for the info, what I'm trying to determine is if it's a good idea when it's pretty much just me and DD, if I meet a woman with a kid I can see it def being worth it but right now with just me and DD prob for the next few trips not so sure it's fully worth it right now

You can look at it as, you buy in with using Studios and if you do meet someone you can upgrade your points. If you and DD like Disney and will travel and use it. Go for it. Plus as your DD gets older you can travel with her friends or eventually let her use it with friends.

Going to dentist for cleaning today.

Good luck, I hate the dentist (mainly the old croch of a heigentist who yells at me like I am her son for not flossing)

OOOOPpppps!

Good news though. As promised, now that the Pats aren't playing them again, you have my support until the playoffs should the Titans make it. Good luck and I hope it wasn't too much of a downer.

I do think Locker will be a good QB, hopefully his injury is minor.

Locker looked good early on, but Johnson looked awful. Mixed bag if you're a Titans fan I guess.


Glad I'm not.

Good Morning Paul. It looks like the Pats D is improved and we could have another good season.

Have season tickets and can't wait until next week when I get to see the other. Have fun watching the games this season! If you don't mind the cold and want to take in a game, I am not able to use my Pats/Miami tickets and they could find thier way to your mailbox.

Speaking of football, anyone hear from Barry? Badgers and Packers both lose. Hope he doesn't do anything drastic.

Anyone seen Barry this morning? I heard an unconfirmed report that there is a run on Wisconsin liquor stores after the Badgers and Packers lost.

I'm doing OK. Luckily, I thought the Badgers were playing at night since they were out on the west coast. I checked my phone to see when the game was and found that they had already lost.

Sunday wasn't much better, but after the first quarter or so Evan and I went outside to play some catch and just let the game on as sort of background noise. Only a few more days until we congratulate the Bears on beating up a JV team (sorry Colts fans) and show them how an NFL team plays.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Academy....ok that probably wont happen, but I would like to quote Mark Twain for my 1000th post.

Happy Monday Guys!

Congrats on 1000!

The rookies looked great. It was nice to see some QB pressure from our D for once!!

Enjoy the game next week! And if you do end up not needing those tickets for the end of the season, well I do think my mailbox would have some room in it!!! Shoot me a pm when you know!

Wow...what is it like to have a team that addresses its weaknesses during the offseason, instead of just insanely doing the same thing every single year?

Glad you're ok. I've got a feeling this is the year the Axe returns to Minnesota. Also the Pack is going to struggle to any team that can put pressure on Rodgers with a four man rush.

It's great. Until we play the Giants in the Super Bowl. Then it's not so great.

Good luck , get bubble gum flavor

Morning guys.

We bought in 2 years ago, and are happy with it. If you know you will go at least once every 2 years, and you can swing the big upfront payment, it can be a good deal. We basically looked at it as guaranteeing vacations for ourselves for next 50 years...

thanks everyone for the advice, I know we will have many more wdw and similar vacations in the future, I'm prob goin to make the final decision after the oct trip and see how DD likes it, im pretty sure she wont hate it lol,prob have to go through Disney, have the upfront but not the whole amount, and I like that you do have options to use points in other places

everyone.

<-- not a thumb to both Nemisi

awwww look who's cranky

OOOOPpppps!

going to the game was fun even with the loss

See what happens when your stuck on the phone with customer service in India all day just because you do not have Internet in you office, I had to multi post instead of post pad, there goes my newbie lead

No Norm. I hope he survived the dentist.

OK, it is playoff time for Fantasy Baseball. Our defending champs, the Splash Mountaineers, had a strong surge at the end to squeak into playoffs and get the fifth seed ahead of their nemesis, the Hittin' Mickeys. Not sure if they can ride this wave of momentum through the playoffs or end up crashing to earth and getting all wet. They will be facing Jungle Nelson Cruz in the first round whose team has fought through elephants and headhunters to arrive in this place.

PhineastoEzratoGus will be using their playoff-inator in their matchup against the Hittin' Mickeys whose team is disappearing faster than bacon and Dole Whips at a Disney Dad convention.

Epic Phillie and Mickey's Steamboats earned top seeds and byes in the first round as they were consistently the best teams all year.

Good luck to all. Here is the bracket:


Quarterfinal

(1) Epic Phillie
Bye



(4) JUNGLE (Nelson) CRUZ

vs

(5) Splash Mountaineers



(3) PhineastoEzratoGus

vs

(6) The Hittin' Mickeys


(2) Mickey's Steamboats
Bye


There are also Consolation brackets posted on the web site, so be sure to set your lineups.

Good luck to all!

Chris - is the baseball pool a Yahoo league or is it like the fantasy football pool?

I survived. No cavities. Thankfully, someone missed me.

I made the best of the losers in consolation bracket and didn't even get a mention. Gettin dissed by the commish.

LOL. Sounds familiar. DD's team took our first game 5-1 against our neighboring town. Always a tough game as we are a tri-town community and it gets very competitive. Just think, you'll be in great condition by the end of the season.

Well, I'll be in good enough shape to try to get in better shape.

I could be wrong about the math, but I always felt with DVC that I was 'paying for moderate, but getting deluxe' in terms of accomodations. So if you're happy with the value resorts for just the two of you, then great. If you think you'd like moderates, then DVC may be for you after all.

I like that comparison, when you add in annual dues.

THat's a lot. All weather related? There was a joke by Drew Hastings on Bob & Tom, when he called his insurance company to report a fallen tree from a storm and was told it was not covered under "act of God" clause. For 10,000 years, people gave debated the existence of God and my Prudential agent has him running around my property.

I'm sure he told it better.

Good luck, I hate the dentist (mainly the old croch of a heigentist who yells at me like I am her son for not flossing)

i got a cute one. She is married with children, but not a bad way to start the morning. At least until that metal thing starts scraping your teeth. BTW, no cavities.
