And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[babyberger]

You are a genius!! I thought we would have to buy the kits they sell, if we do end up at the BC/YC. Since we are driving, we can just bring our own. Hmmm, we could even have a couple of bag of special "adult" mashmallows and dip them in Chambord before going down for the roast. I'm told it's really good.

I told my DH last night that he had to buy a lottery ticket for tonights Powerball. That way, if we win, it will solve my RC'ing problem. We can just stay at each of the resort I'm thinking of staying at for several nights each.

I have my Powerball tickets too!!! I would be making some serious RC's for Feb if we win, but this weekend trip would probably stay as it is. Oh how we can dream!!!!

Yep bring your own s'mores stuff, much cheaper than buying it. Chambord, huh? I'm staring at a bottle of it now, may have to go on this weekends packing list

Helloooooooooo ladies!
Melissa: I haven't even been to Target today! Going through withdrawal symptoms. Has the packing started or was it just the superfluous vacuuming?

Janet: I thought of you as Miss M put together a HP Lego set. She also made this little concoction:
I asked her what it was and she replied, "It's Dobby and Harry roasting a zombie-head marshmallow on Harry's wand."

I don't know where she gets this stuff from.

Okay the zombie head roasting is hysterical!!!! Nope no packing yet, haven't even done laundry. Not sure why I haven't started by now. But the inside if my truck is nice and clean

------

I laid my head down on the couch for a few minutes and slept for a few minutes in between the kids screaming at each other, oh the joys of motherhood So DH asked me last night where I would move if we win powerball, of course I said New England and he says he is not going back to the snow so I said Key West and he agreed, LOL! DH's is so frustrated with work he is ready to just pick up and go! We still have no idea what is happening with the company...our lesson learned through this is never work for or with a bipolar person Keeping my fingers crossed for even a small win out of that huge Powerball jackpot!!! And hey if I win big, I could see a big RC meet up, maybe at my new place in Key West, LMAO!

Ok, I let the first one slide but this is the second time you've said "poo" while referencing a bathroom. I've got 3 elementary school boys. Sorry. <hangs head in shame>

I thought I commented on this earlier, but noticed I didn't. I didn't even notice I was doing that. I should have since I have 2 teenage boys and that is one of a handful of words you can say to instantly get a laugh out of them. I think barf and fart are the only other ones I can write on this DIS, but the other one rhymes with wee.

Ok...the whole "adult" marshmallow thing....I am just thinking of extremely flammable marshmallows requiring a fire extinguisher to put them out....yeah...that was my peek into the future...

After reading your comment, I got this image in my head of me roasting one, freaking out b/c it was a flamming marshmallow of doom, trying to shake it off my stick, and it flying to smack a my DH right inbetween the eyes.

So, on the marshmallow roast, do you bring your own sticks, do you have to buy them, or do they just give them to you for free?

I have my Powerball tickets too!!! I would be making some serious RC's for Feb if we win, but this weekend trip would probably stay as it is. Oh how we can dream!!!!

We wouldn't move any where if we won big. I would just build me a Downton Abbey like home here and do a ton of traveling. My bil doesn't play the lottery b/c he thinks it's just throwing money away. I keep telling him, it's not, you are just paying to dream for a short time what you would do with that kind of money. Hmmmm. I'm thinking if we did win big maybe D&B Disney bags all around for the RC'ers, even the enabling ones.

 

[MAGIC...itis!]

OK guys I am done with work and off to the shower. Next stop WDW and POFQ. I am so pooped it just may be Beignets for dinner! lol

___________________________________

hmmm ... wonder if wheelchair GG needs to be in a resort with interior hallways ...

JanetB, OF COURSE GG needs interior hallways!!!! And a day of Concierge therapy.

Magic – hope DH and P feel better soon and you can all have fun at WDW!!! I hope you can get up north this weekend to help out. My kid's school has sent up 3 full truckloads of supplies already and are still collecting, it is so sad how much damage there still is.

That is so kind for your kid's school to offer such support. It truly is amazing the wonderful stories that have ALSO come from this tragedy... and others.

The coaster in Seaside...the pier is in the ocean now

Yes pas130, I simply cannot fathom my Seaside in ruins. I worked at Kohr's ya know! That orange and vanilla twisty cone still makes my mouth water.

Magic: Oh no. Good vibes you and your family & friends' way.

Thank you Miss..., I appreciate it.

*whispers*

Psst, Letthewookiee... Beeeeeeach Cluuuuuuuub.

That is a wonderful marshmallow idea!

grrrrrrrr, I swear I really should not DIS while knitting and watching Fringe.

I was just thinking about calling and changing over to the BC.

 

[babyberger]

MAGIC - Have a great trip!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

grrrrrrrr, I swear I really should not DIS while knitting and watching Fringe.

Oh I can repost some of my YC pics if it will help the sway and resulting call to CRO, LOL!!!

Well that's a bummer, just when I will be on my way home and am known for calling CRO and dining to change everything for our next trip I guess I will try yo make some changes on Sunday (if any are needed).

Thanks for the heads up!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I nees to decide if I'm going to change it or not.

I just feel sorry for those that can make their 180 day out ADRs on 12/4.

Hopefully, this will make their system not have the issues it always seem to have. I swear it's like Animal is their main IT man. I have some ideas, but I'm not done with my computer programming degree yet.

 

[Missoutandabout]

Oh how I wish we could be at BC at the same time to try that!!!! That would be hilarious!!!

This should become a "must do" if we ever have an RC meet-up. RC Balls of Flaming Marshmallow.

Okay the zombie head roasting is hysterical!!!! Nope no packing yet, haven't even done laundry. Not sure why I haven't started by now. But the inside if my truck is nice and clean

Okay, everyone write down "RC Meet Up at Melissa's New Place" ... in Key West. Maybe we should check the local fire ordinances first for any laws against creating marshmallow infernos?

CR here you come!

Sounds like a wonderful dinner to me. You've got more planned for eats than I do at the moment. Yay for Port Orleans!

Okay... now you'd best get that phone call out of the way soon:

Christine! Too funny. Do you think anyone will be adding this to their calendars... or suffering withdrawals and/or hyperventilating fits through the downtime?

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Another interesting tidbit! Any RCers then during this time frame? Not me, but I don't like ME and usually have a town car meet us...maybe it is time for change.

Walt Disney World is starting a new FastPass+ test in December!

From December 11-15, select Guests who are registered to use Disneys Magical Express service will be offered the opportunity to go online to pre-select four Disney FastPass+ experiences at Magic Kingdom Park and three experiences at Disneys Hollywood Studios Park. Guests eligible for this test will be notified via mail this week, at the mailing address on the booking.

Great news for those going during the test dates, and the addition of Hollywood Studios is interesting, as past tests have only involved Magic Kingdom.

Sounds like a plan. Should I start stocking up on the marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate bars, and Chambord?

Okay... now you'd best get that phone call out of the way soon:

I didn't get to make the call. I had to start dinner and I didn't know the pasta I was baking needed sauce. I thought the box had it in it. I didn't have any Ragu, so I had to doctor up tomato sauce. I have a high blood pressure head ache, and instead of popping the top to sprinkle garlic powder in, I twisted the top off and tossed in way too much. I had to dig out the powder and fix it.

We will be there at that time but just decided to cancel ME and take a car. Our last experience was awful, 2 hours to get to the BC and with a rowdy 3 yo it felt like it was 200 hours!!

And.... just like that I'm back to pricing POR

DH came home from work today grinning like the village idiot with a Wii U and 6 new games for the boys for Christmas. Apparently he was on a wait list that I knew nothing about and it came through today. Dude. I was already done shopping. Not in the budget

They already have a Wii, Xbox 360, PS2, 3DSs, an Android tablet and laptops. They need it like they need a hole in the head, but I feel like I'm being controlling and mothering if I ask him to return it.

I think he needs a flaming marshmallow flung at him. Anyone want to volunteer???

Will be back later to multi-quote, but I have to add this now.

Miss, your DD is awesome. LOVE the legos!!!!

I don't mean to LMAO, but I am!!!! I laid down the law and said no Wii U for Hanukkah. DS is getting a new 3DS XL since his DSi XL is broken (mind you this was the insurance replacement). But yes I know this house is full of Wii, PS3, XBOX 360, laptops, several generations of DS, iPads, and old iPhones repurposed to iTouches. And I still hear...."I'm bored"!

Wow I think we are behind the times over here! We only have one laptop, one ipad, and one ipod touch in the house. And those are DH and I's!! The girls only get to use the laptop to go on their reading sites, and get limited game time on the ipad and ipod touch.

A few years ago we had DS's for them but not impressed with the quality as they both broke very easily. We never replaced them.

No Wii's, Xboxes, or Playstations over here....are we weird???

No! Keep it that way. In all fairness, the PS3 is DH's
The Wii is the girls
They got the DS's because we travel so much and they were great for that.
Then last Christmas I got the iPad....the girls used it so much that I never got it and they would take DH and my iPhones all the time, so they got the iPod touches....
DD8 uses an iPad everyday at school, so her teacher is constantly sending me apps that will help with the school lesson so.....
Yeah, we are buried under electronic devices....
