Can't decide if we're doing excursions...I guess I better make up my mind, huh?

You still have a couple of days....

 

[Tart Annihilator]

Yep, now I hope the excursions don't run too much.

Matthew

I noticed a couple of them increased quite a bit. I loved the Golden Eagle Catamarran. It's around $85 now. yikes!!!

Dolphin excursion was way too much for the amount of time that you get with them. I guess I'll have to go to Sea World.

We just may bum around or lounge on a beach somewhere.

I don't know if they will ever release the full results of the investigation. Disney generally tries to downplay accidents or fatalities on property. We were on property when the accident occurred. Nobody said anything about what had happened. Even though the buses were all screwed up the next morning. Later, it made sense since they were stretched thin because of the need to bus everybody to the Magic Kingdom.

I got the news over my iPhone about mid-day. One of the Bus Drivers did talk about things a bit with us and one other lady. (We were the only ones on the bus). I made a comment later in the day to another CM expressing condolences for the Monorail Pilot. The CM quickly changed the subject and shooed us out of the store.

There is a book that I would recommend to anyone interested in some of the behind the scenes happenings at Disneyland. Mouse Tales - A Behind the Ears Look at Disneyland. It is very interesting reading.

I'll need to remember that title when I making my Christmas list.You know, I'll probably be emailing you in early December to tell me the title again. lol

Ooooohhh...the pressure, the pressure.

Remember at Jeff's house I was telling y'all about how everyone knows all the tricks now? Everyone makes ADR's now, as opposed to just a year or two ago, people were counting on walking right in to restaurants. Y'all will also notice that there are lots more people who work the fastpass system, so you stay in the fastpass line longer. This was very noticeable in June. I know October is a slower season, but I bet people have become savvy to this as well and the crowd level may be up because of it.

The DIS needs to cap their memebership at whatever it is now.

Oh I hope it's not like that in October

Geez, I would hate to go there and be clueless trying to dine at a restaurant

BRB...time for dinner. Mike has it ready for me when I get home.

What a guy!!!

Nice!!

I don't think I ever had loose twelves. For me, twelve is smokin'. Fourteen is more realistic.

I'm with ya on that sistah! I'm hoping to squeeeeeze into those 12's come Octobah!!!

 

[Tart Annihilator]

I see you and Cass have the same eye ailment.

When I have my glasses on, things appear larger than they really are, so you're really in good shape.

I have to be down by October...I'll be d***ed if I'm buying all new clothes for the cruise. I bought several sun dresses and shorts that I'd like to wear.

It's still available on Amazon.com. When I bought it years ago we lived 10 miles from Disneyland and knew several CMs. They use to tell us all the behind the scenes stuff. It's amazing what never makes the papers. Of course, there is stuff that happens at the airport that never makes the papers either. Not because we are making any effort to conceal anything. It just doesn't get caught by the media for whatever reason.

Nothing wrong with my eyesight dear

That's all we are doing

Mike's on vacation next week. He said if it's rainy, he's going to put ceramic tile in our laundry room...

...so I hope it rains cats & dogs. Hee hee!

(sorry baby)

LOL, me too!! If I don't lose some more weight, I won't get into any of my clothes I plan on wearing And I am NOT buying any more fat clothes

Off to eat supper and then going to Harry Potter with Bernie & Sean

Have a great night everyone

 

[Tart Annihilator]

That's all we are doing

We'll probably still get on the boards Saturday night for the excitement of it.

 

[Tart Annihilator]

Later Cass...Enjoy BB. Mike's losing his babe tonight.

 

[Tart Annihilator]

Later guys...catch ya all later.

Don't say that, Matthew. Emily is flying out of Dulles on the 4th and flying in on the 11th....

Tonight I'm having a WW pizza - 6 points with salad. I'm up to 7 points so far, so I can save 6 points if I dont eat anything else tonight

I really need to knuckle down - My first 2 weeks were great, I'm slipping already

You are doing great, Karen.... don't worry - you will get to the place you want to. Just keep sticking to it!!

Angie: How's your FIL?

Nancy - thanks for asking! He's doing better. He went home on Saturday and is waiting there for 3 weeks to see if his leak heals. I just talked to my MIL and she's so discouraged... but hopefully all be heal and he will only have to have one surgery instead of 3 (the lung infection is gone!!) My DH is over there right now propping up his bed so he can sleep better.

Asiah and I flew to Dallas today to meet up with Kristen and Elijah. He has basketball national this weekend. These kids are really active. Walt stayed home. He has a few things to do before we take off on the bike. We are very excited. Now it is time to go to our first basketball game. After we are going to eat pizza and then to a small amusement park. Kids are very excited. I will also see my daughter Erika tonite. She will be at the game too. for Elijah's team. Diane

Yay Elijah!!!! He's going to do great!!!

Been a crummy day for me today.... super-duper tired since getting back from Chicago and gone downhill since Tuesday. Went to the doctor today and I've got a virus. (Don't you love that all encompassing diagnosis...??)

I was really dehydrated as well and my BP was 160/100 - never been that high before and I don't normally have any trouble with it. I think it was probably because of my dehydration. Came home and drank lots of liquids and hope to get back to work tomorrow...

ON the bright side, the girls come home on Sunday morning... can't beleive 3 weeks has flown by so fast!! Wowwie!!

Well, I am supposed to be resting so I can go back to work tomorrow so I'm off to watch more tv (hey - I slept in until 10:30 this morning!)

 

[millerpjm]

Very undecided about the excursions.

On St Maarten I'd really like to go to Marigot on the French side and to Orient Bay.
They have excursions for this but June was talking about perhaps just walking around the Dutch and French side without booking an excursion and taking a taxi around.

Is this a good idea?

Maybe walking around for a bit and then the Afternoon Beach Bash tour?
Anyone doing this?

Rose,

We'll be doing the Afternoon Beach Bash in the afternoon...

In the morning I want to do the Under 2 Flags tour and Pete is doing the 12 Meter regatta.
