Wow, I've been quite neglectful w/ this PTR. Whoops. I had very good intentions when I started it, but I kind of ran out of steam lately. No fear, for any readers I have left...I'm back. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who is excited about that. Now, onto some updating!
ADR Day
FINALLY, the day is nearly upon us. I can't believe how fast the last few weeks have flown by. I can make my one little sad ADR on Monday. Thank goodness it's Memorial Day, or I might've just had to suddenly become "sick" and call-in for work.
From what I've been hearing it's been a crap shoot on how long it's taken people to get through. One person was on the phone for over FIVE hours.
Can you imagine that long distance bill? Uh, no thanks! Even w/ cell that would stink! Wish Disney's online system was up and running. Oh well.
Whispering Canyon Cafe

Is it better for lunch, dinner or does it even matter??
Car Rental
The good news -- I was able to find something for UNDER $200!!
The bad news -- it's Thrifty, which is off-site. BOO! I figure, it won't be THAT bad, if we indeed stick with it.
Thrifty - $184.16/ 7 days/ Economy Size
Dollar - $228.40/ 7 days/ Economy Size
I had both of these both booked, but I canceled the Dollar one today. I know, some people hate when others have two car reservations. But, I'm not one of those people.
I'm really hoping for some awesome last minute deals through Alamo or National. I really prefer something on-site. Not that we can't haul all our crap to the off-site location, but come on! That ten minutes really eats up our vacay time!
Pins and Yard Sales
I break for yard sales...it's true. I'm a yard sale feign. Something about rummaging through other peoples crap really is exhilarating!
Last weekend, I went w/ my mom and MIL to a neighborhood and hit the mother load! I found three limited edition pin sets in their original packages in mint condition.
- Disney Catalog - Animated Short Boxed Pin Set #5 (Good Scouts), originally $56.50/set
- Disney Catalog - 101 Dalmatians Pin Set, originally $62.00/set
- Disney Catalog - Animated Short Boxed Pin Set #6 (The Night Before Christmas), originally $56.50/set
I got all these pins for...$1.50 TOTAL!!!! The guy doing the yard sale hated them (his wife originally bought them) and desperately wanted to get rid of them. So, I wound up getting 22 limited edition pins that originally cost $175 for only $1.50. Crazy, eh? I almost felt bad after I found out how much they cost...but, not bad enough to go back and tell them about it.
Camera
I've decided to go w/ the Canon (thanks to Autumnpalm's AWESOME pictures in her TR
)!! It's on sale at Best Buy, so I'm going to head over there tomorrow. I'm kind of bummed, I keep thinking today is Friday and today's the day I'm picking up my camera! Sad.
