the hour by hour Drunk Report at Food and Whine.

Hilarious!

 

[Couchy]

Is it Wednesday yet?!?!?! i'm all packed... house clean... laundry is happening now... I just need Wednesday to get here!! I need some warmth

~N

I keep saying the same thing

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. This 'being on an actual trip' business is interfering with my Dis boards time.

The weather report: The big news flash is that the weather has changed from humid, humid, humid to cool (At night, days are still sunny and warm) and breezy (slight). (THANK GODDESS!!!!) The temps are dropping into the low 60's at night with a slight breeze, so pack what you need for that.

We have been fine swimming when it is sunny as the sun warms you up enough to enjoy the pool. The hot tub here at CBR is also enjoyable if we should need the warmer waters....... so take advantage of the hot tubs at the BC/YC/BCV to sooth those tired bones.

Now we bring you the hour by hour Drunk Report at Food and Whine. This report is sponsored by Dewey Cheetum and Howe, attorneys specializing in DWI cases...

During the day the drunks are almost invisible and are easily confused with cranky people with small whiney children. At dinner time you see a lot of people who are in "mid drunk". You can tell they have been drinking and they are still ordering alcohol because NOW they are having dinner and they still think they can handle MORE, like eating food would make it better.. LOL

After dinner you see the people who have been drinking and touring ALL DAY leaving the parks after their livers tell them doing both to extremes is a BAD idea.

Late night is my FAVORITE time for "Drunk Watch" as this is the time you will see them. After Illuminations you witness a VERY SMALL NUMBER of roving packs of drunks screaming loudly about finding places to "do more shots". You can hear these people coming long before you see them so there are no worries about them causing you problems unless you are a bottle of vodka, then the will be ALL OVER YOU like a pack of vampires. I did witness a band of roving drunks (BORD) storm into Rose and Crown for shots only to be told by the Bartender to keep on moving so OUT they went!

All in all, the drunks are not much of a problem and that was on a Friday night, so I'm thinking it's peak drunk season. There are an awful lot of "Chattier than normal" people who are curious about your trip and where you are from and what you have been doing. We think this is delightful but if you are the shy, non communicative type then you might want to invest in one of those 'Brazillion' tour group T-shirts and chant 'no English' when some friendly souls tries to chat with you.

I have seen an increased uniformed security presence at food and whine, much more so than what you would see on a regular park night so that should allay some fears.

Now for a commercial message brought to you from Joffrey's coffee. Our coffee tastes burned and Starbucky, which rhymes with yucky! (Nuff said....) You are going to want your DUNKIN!

I gotta run... the quiet pool is calling my name.

Awesome report as per usual

This is almost EXACTLY what I just said to my DH! We have had two mornings with very heavy frosts and I had to scrape my windshields!!!

You arrive at AKL on Wednesday, we go to the airport park 'n' fly hotel. But we will see you in the CL on Thursday evening! Have a great trip, Nannette.

We got snow here on Tuesday. It was depressing.. but soon enough we will be in paradise

Help someone? Anyone? Nannette?

We've finally figured out how to make FP+ selections, and everything was going along swimmingly, until.....

We were making our final set of FP Reservations, picked our park, day and times...and it said that I have reached my FP+ limit.

What??

The other 2 members of my group are all set, but not me?

Weird huh? I'm the one who booked the trip, the resort, and DP and I both have shiny new APs...

Any ideas what's going on here? A kink in the matrix?

Any thoughts?

I had that same problem. Called tech support and everything is good now

Question - are there plenty of outlets for charging all the gadgets in the rooms at the YC?

SNOW?!?!? Only kind of snow I want to see anytime soon is what might fly at the Osborne Lights on November 8th!

Two. More. Sleeps.

Not for our tech crew. We always take at least one power strip with extra outlets. Well worth the packing space.

Ok, I am going to ask everyone for some positive thoughts and prayers for my daughter, Suzy today. She is having a biopsy this morning, has battled breast cancer for the past 3 years, and we need a good outcome on the lump they found last week. She is finally able to join us on our family trip in a few weeks and we want her with us!!! She is living in Alaska, but moving to Tn in just 2 weeks. Please say a small prayer for her. Thank you everyone!!!

Scott, I had heard on one of the Dis Blogs that AP holders will be limited to 20 FP+ per quarter . I hope it's not going to happen, as our trips ( twice a year) tend to be 10 to 14 days each. So if this happens we won't be able to make FP selections, the allotted 3 a day for entire trip.
Glad you could have it fixed by phoning tec support. In a month I get to do my FP selections for January. Hope it goes smoothly!

What are the dates for your trip?

 

[mousegear]

Two more days!!!

I can't wait 'till Wednesdays before our 11 day blast! I still need to pack our suitcases but since I have today and tomorrow off, I have plenty of time.

I certainly hope that is not true!! We are AP holders and go ALOT. For example just this summer was 2 wks the end of June, then 6 nights in August followed by 16 nights we just completed this month!! We already have reservations for 5 days at Carribean Beach in Dec. (no availability at BC/YC-BOO!) and 6 days at Saratoga Springs in Jan. (renting points and again no availability at BCV)
That would just be WRONG to limit our FP+ per quarter. Trust me, we pay plenty of money for our trips and are no different than the family who only goes once or twice a yr.
