Something About Nothing ... #12

It was sprinkling a bit while I was waiting for the bus. It looks cloudy but I'm not sure if it will actually rain. It did lower the temp some.
 
I remember getting POP and free dining with regular meal deal for $110 a night, including tickets for a preferred room for me, a junior kid, and child kid. That was awesome. But, my kids refuse to stay there again. Oh well. We did a split stay with the Yacht Club and Wilderness Lodge, they preferred the WL. I thought they would like stormalong bay pool, but they were more into the style of the hotel. But neither want to visit the motherland any time soon. Universal, they still want to visit, as well as the Busch parks.

So far, a large line of storms, including hail, is traveling 50 mph heading east, just annoying those north of us. Just overcast and muggy as all now. After chicken noodle and BLT grilled cheeses, all are stuffed. Soon, will be looking for something sweet. I think DD made mashed or mac and cheese, as she did not want a sandwich. Both enjoyed the tomatoes we bought from a roadside stand on the way home from the games yesterday. Just picked earlier that morning the seller said. Lush.

When FDP first came out & included appetizers & tips more than a few DVC'rs were booking values at 'throw aways' . I'm not quite that flush & think it's wasteful to do such a thing. did bank our points that year and stayed @ mods/values before they changed the dining plans.

Tink I don't Recall seeing being congratulated re the ADR. Need to look, for October, need to edit once I figure out rest of days in the parks.

So stuffed from dinner. Found out I have GD overnight tomorrow. Think we'll see the ice age if only to get into AC. Really liked Star Trek this weekend, lots of action in this one.
 


I have 6 more days and I can book my fp at the motherland

Need to figure out which park to be in for my days

This will take some thinking for me

I feel like this is a job

You ain't kidding! I made the FAM +1 sit down with me and go over the park maps so we could pre pick our FP based on where we will be am & pm.
 


Enjoy the movie with little one today Keisha.........hope they turn the air right up for you.........


Seeing all the FP talk is making me nervous. We don't go to Disney, but promised to help a woman in my husbands office who is going for the first time.......with her husband, 3 kids, all teens........her mum and dad.....his mum who doesn't really want to go :eek: and her brother and 2 kids. I almost gave up before I started to help.........They know nothing and are honest about it........:scratchin


Quiet day today......dentist, Optician and Orthotic appointments to sort out for DS and I.

Dull, but not cold today.
 
Well, we are fine. Brother lost power, and I don't know if he got it back yet. There were a ton of lightning strikes. 4 fire trucks past by on the main street near our house. Busy night. Sad kids, it seems the storms took out our router. Guess I need to buy another one. We are true WiFi family.

You would think 72 would be refreshing, but it is oh so humid. I think my AC ran all night.

Have fun with the GD today Keisha.

Hope your appointments go well Schumi.

Yep, I'm plotting and scheming what days and what fastpasses I can snag. 7 more days for me to wait. Yeah, it does feel like a job Mac. I'll have to look at my phone to remember all the ones I make. It also means next month, the balance is due. Ugh, budget, and keep buying those gift cards at a discount. Very few ADRs for me. I have booked, cancelled, rebooked, and booked several times so far. Still hoping the SW fireworks show in HS is during my stay. If it is, and if AK's show comes online, I'll have to reconfigure my schedule all over again. Yeah, a job! LOL

So, with the very sunny start to another humid day in the 90's, I need to see if the tea's done steeping. I'm ready for a big glass of ice tea. Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!
 
Bit of a narcissistic post this one.....but I won`t be too narcissistic as to start my own separate thread :D Anyway, I was reminded by email the other day I hadn`t posted any pics of my trip to NY this year............so, here are just a small selection of the almost 1000 pictures we took. It was so hard to post just a few as I do have so many, and with them so many lovely memories.

Most pictures involved all my relatives on Long Island and mum, who I won`t post pictures of. Very few of my pictures don`t have a family member in them. Pictures are so important to us.

This was our 3rd trip to Long Island and NYC were there for 16 nights all in. 6 nights in a hotel in LI and then 4 nights in the City then back to hotel in LI for remainder of our trip. We did so much but I won`t do it as a trip report style.......they can drag on a bit sometimes!!! Just pictures as requested........hope you like them........

First was taken at a winery in LI.......I really could have spent all day here. Such a beautiful area.




Next few are all in the Times Square, Bryant Park area

Awesome pictures Schumi, thanks for sharing. Haven't been back to NYC since I took my DD to the doll store and to watch the Rockettes years ago. You had beautiful weather by the looks of it.
 
Love the pics Carole, you look so happy in all of them.
Glad you made it through the storms safely Lynne...hope you get your router back soon.

I finally slept late on my day off...time for coffee :coffee:
 
Carole, I may have missed it but did you make it to a show in NYC, and if so did you manage to see something other than Wicked? ;)
 
We are allowed to have chickens, but I'm afraid the Township might frown upon bovinular activity.
So we have a crazy person who lives in one of our communities that we have a rental in. The community has convents and he believes they need to be followed to a T such as grills are supposed to be stored out of sight. So when you're done grilling on your charcoal grill he expects it to be pulled back into the storage unit as soon as you're done. NOT COOLED down done, just done grilling. He goes over and takes a picture. One time the family was still on the porch eating the dinner they just grilled.

ANYWAYS. the e-mail addressed to us and a few other houses out there the other day said "DEAR TRAILER PARK NEIGHBORS" the end of it said "I am hoping that we don't have chickens and goats roaming these properties any time soon but I would not be surprised." I'm looking for a chicken to borrow and a harness to put it on so I can walk it around on the common area by his house. :)

Got to love by-laws! I actually do enjoy rules, but seriously... let the grill cool down first guy.
 
Lovely pictures Schumi. I hate photos with me on but love to see everyone else! Went with DD to get DGS a pre-holiday hair cut today. Fab just for littlies place called Little Big Heads with a play room, personal IPads loaded with choice of viewing. She began taking him there as they understand his Dyspraxia but as he's always gone he's very relaxed and can sit still. DGD wanted to sit and watch in a little princess chair rather than playing in the other room! Dull weather but mild today - hoping the sun returns soon.
