Something About Nothing ... #12

I have an adr for 5:45 for 2 on 9/25 at BOG that I can't use if you want it. I'll be at that party with Robbie and Mike and we made an earlier one. That would be a good birthday present.

Tink will PM you. Thank you

That would be nice for you and your sister Robo..........:thumbsup2



Where's pc this morning.........I have the bacon sizzling............::yes::



Awake far too early again........dh is still off which is nice.......not sure of plans for today as its a Bank Holiday here today.........maybe a drive along the coast and lunch somewhere as its a beautiful day thankfully......

Only a couple of days till September is here........party:
 
Ah the Monday morning blues. No holiday for us today, so we don't get a day off until next week. Drive around the coast sounds like a great day Schumi. We have another day of a blazing sun, already hard to drive east from the sun rising.

Since this is my little one's birthday today, I guess we will go out to eat. Since both kids are still not on their school early getting up, both were sound asleep so far. We'll party this coming week-end, celebrating both our birthdays.

So, enjoy this last Monday of August. Another week starting to getting closer to HHN.

Don't get me started Mac! LOL She's already counting the days before she can get her license.

Thanks Schumi, Tink and Mac for her birthday wishes.

Well, tea isn't getting me enough energy, so soda many be up for consumption before lunch. Not ready for coffee yet. :surfweb:
 


yep, hope you all have a lovely day Lynne for DD 15th..........always nice to celebrate a birthday.........:cake:


Didn't go for a drive after all..........everywhere was mobbed with it being a public holiday.........the beach down from where we live was heaving! So we went inland........lol.......Having the beach on our doorstep means it's not essential for us to travel there on a nice day..........

Bbqing tonight I think.........have some beef burgers made up and some spicy chicken.....rest is all salad and potato parcels.........getting hungry already!

I crashed a little earlier last night! One day I'll make it over for the bacon and all the other lush meals make!
 
Monday madness day

Keisha
I can still remember when your gdaughter was born

Still seems like yesterday

Yes, and I plopped her 1st set of MM ears upon her head within a few hours of birth lol

Yep, I saw the picture without the blocked out section too. Just about gave this old girl a coronary. Guess his role as a Woodland ELF was appropriate in LoTR :laughing:

In the upper 80's today with humidity almost 90%. Had a couple small showers today.

Good to see you back Lynne.

Happy birthday to Keisha's granddaughter :bday::bday::bday: .

Keisha hope your tummy settles down for the boat cruise.

Happy Birthday to Lynnes daughter :bday::bday::bday:

I really gotta look for the uncensored pic haha

Happy BD to your DD Lynne! I like the state park across the road a mite better lol, brook green a bit snoozy. Atalaya an interesting walk thru, it what's passed for mansion at that time there. So many gators to spy upon too, we never miss it.

Well little sis called me last night and she would like to go to MNSSHP (guess that's the abbreviation for it). If someone can give me a short skinny on it? Looks like the there are no possible places for sit down dinner options on the days we might go. She is ok with that. Also dessert party booked if I read it right. This is a last minute thing.

Two possible day options are Sunday Sept 25 (her birthday) or Friday 30th. Which would be best?

If I understand it right this is a separate ticketed event like HHN at Magic Kingdom and opens at 4:30 pm?

Her birthday is the first weekend we will be in Orlando. So will try to make it happen for her if possible.

Looks like there is a Hocus Pocus show. Do you have to have ressies for the viewing area of that show? All info helpful.

No res needed for hocus pocus show but they did eliminate one this year. Look at the brochure when it comes out, Kenny the pirate's site for specific info as to character. Meets if a special one. Jack & Sally take forever...line up before 6 pm if not earlier.

U can enter @ 4 pm with party tix. Assign it to your MDE account and you can make 3 FP if you can find times to squish them in pre 5:30 pm ish or so

Sunday will be less crowded

Yes, we love MNSSHP :)

I used to do mnnshp but the cost of tickets And selling more tickets that over crowd the event has stopped me from going

Those tickets are at $71 now
Not worth it for the candy and special parade

Candy is least of the event for us, it's the overall vibe, chance to dress up the mr goofy (priceless) and he gets to whip out the big old camera and play. Nothing like that shot of the headless horseman tromping down Main Street to get us in the Halloween mode.

Tiered pricing this year too

September is lowest

DVC & AP discounts help a bit

Still disappointed they only had that one year of Villian thing there. Reversed spot @ hub, face-to-face with tons of characters in the castle afterwards w/refreshments. Mgmt here didn't like it per their review early on but we loved it, rest well-worth the extra $.

I like the idea of optional add ons, just need to pick & choose unfortunately and stretch that vacation budget lol. Someday I'll hit a behind the scenes @ HHN but sorta afraid it'd suck a bit of magic out of things for me the way the Keys to Kingdom tour did.

I'll be there Tuesday the 20th for MNSSHP! I've only done it once before. I thought you could enter as soon as 4PM. Party starts at 7.
Check dinner reservations 2 days prior. People start cancelling to avoid the charge if they don't show up.
Not sure how they do dining during the party though as you cannot make FP reservations during.
I always like to eat somewhere "cheap" and quick during the ticketed events though so I don't miss all the action. Sister and I usually eat Casey's to catch the show and fireworks on our MK nights, though this is not a prime spot if you want to see EVERYTHING. We've seen the regular stuff so many times we can "see" it through the people!!! lol Honestly I can see it even when I just hear the songs...
I hear frontier land is great to watch the halloween one. It's right near the exit of the parade.

I hope you all have fun! Last time we did it we really enjoyed the rides and didn't really stop to do the other stuff. Now we're really looking forward to Hocus Pocus as that's my sister's favorite halloween movie. I also hear wonderful things about the parade so we're looking forward to that!

You should have party tix and will rec a warning when making ADRs. Don't see the wisdom in dining during the event...eat a late lunch and save the actual time for rides pre 7 and the party

Frontierland gets crowded too, but less so than the hub. The 2nd parade tends to be less crowded as those with kids often leave after the FW, but it was very busy last Columbus Day.

HP was cute, videos out there if you don't mind spoilers.

Are you dressing for the party? New rules in place if so.

I did spring for dessert party least year during MVMCP as GD was feeling poorly and it gave her a chance to at least lean on the railing & watch FW. Moved over for parade and got lucky @ the Hub where it curves back to Main Street with less of view.

I'm here!

Happy birthday to all those I have missed-so far behind!

This month has been c-r-a-z-y. Finally have an afternoon off-and tomorrow too-although that will be spent cleaning/laundry. After a great week of weather last week back to usual hot/humid/pop up storms.

Getting tired of back yard tore up-got it graded, dirt in, railroad ties delivered. Now need to get moving on the new deck; and pick out floors and paint color for inside. Wish Love It or List It would come to my town-I'd love to get professionally designed spaces! Houses in our neighborhood are being snapped up almost as soon as they hit the market. I want to finish ours, live for another 2-3 years (meanwhile look for lot to build) and sell. Heck I'd sell tomorrow if I could find a lot to build in this area that is as good as what we have (gotta have room for the chickens, dog, and garden:))

Happy Monday!

Yeah we're not doing ADR's during. I think we formed a plan but I can't remember what. It's in my disney bible int he car.
We're going to spend all day in MK so we'll be in there long before the 4PM start so no dressing up. I think I'm going to buy a shirt. I should get on that with 20 days to go.
I've seen parts of the video just to make sure it was worth our time... It is. Same with parade, I didn't watch all of it, just enough to spark my interest.
Our plan is to ride rides early, go to the fireworks, then parade, then HP last showing. I think it was something like 10, 11:15, and 12. We'll migrate up towards the front of the park around 8:30/9.. eat and find somewhere to hunker down after the first parade. Hoping people will start filing out after the FW and before the second parade.


My brother was over for dinner Saturday night. We were talking about our trip. He's got kids that are 7, 5, 3, and one on the way... disney us looming. We were telling him about all the planning that goes into it these days. He hasn't been since maybe 2000? My sister--- disney loving sister!! Said "But Universal has these things way more figured out than Disney. All we had to do was book our hotel and I have to buy a ticket." I think shes converting guys......... :jumping1:
 
The only reason I'm doing MNSSHP is cause Vicki talked me into it, and that we were able to get CM tickets through Mike (Sept 25 is the last day for CM tickets are available as well). And since I didn't get to make it out there last year (mostly), I figured I should do both. I mean booking Club Villain was a big push as well lol

Thinking of you! Should you need anything don't hesitate to holler. I'll be in the general area of Ga/fl line.
Safe travels and I'll try to turn my fans on and blow this storm away!
 
Happy birthday to @Lynne G 's DD!!

@pcstang i think we will overlap for a day! Planning on staying at PBH for sat the 10th (as of this moment)

@macraven safe travels to Florida. And sending you hugs.

So my brother is a server in a pretty high(er) end restaurant. Today he had a lady tell him to piss off. Later on, lady's friend apologizes and says "she didn't mean it that way. She is Australian and she sounds harsh but she's really sweet"

anyone here from Australia??? That's a pretty strong reaction to biscuits in the states. Lol.

@schumigirl on your side of the pond does that have a negative connotation? I just love learning about different phrases.

Just saw bad moms for the 2nd time tonight.

I really gotta look for the uncensored pic haha

Happy Birthday to your DD Lynne :bday::cake:

Well done on the garden revamp! Its fantastic seeing it when it's all done........even if it is a labour of love getting it done...........

Just a quick see youse later

Yep, telling someone to piss off is more or less the same as using the F word with "off" afterwards here.........can be said in a jokey way too.........but no, it's generally rude. I would never say it to anyone unless I knew them well and even then I would only ever say it in the jokey sense.......

I suppose anyone can sound harsh when speaking. I'm Scottish and can sound brittle at times if someone's upset me in any way......doesn't happen often though :D I get extra polite with a tone when that happens though........but I would never tell anyone who was dealing with my to food to piss off.........:eek: Nope, never happen!

Glad you enjoyed bad moms.......I want to see that movie........looks funny!



Looks another beautiful day here right now........haven't checked to see what the day is due to bring weather wise..........
