Hey everyone! I go away for a few hours and 20 or 30 pages are posted I'll ketchup another day.

Thanks for coming to chat with me tonight. That was insane, but a lot of fun!

Oops, didn't mean to violate the cease fire

I really love that British accent

We never really cease fire . . . so that's OK, Laurie! This is just what Andrew and I do . . .

I can't believe it took me two hours to ketchup. I've done way too much reading today.

I have to complete 24 credits of continuing education for my Rad Tech renewal. I had two years to get it done. Guess who waited until the last minute? Again, I spent way too much time reading today.

Sounds like me

You did a great job, Tracy -- it was truly crazy but you kept your cool.

Thanks for the welcomes. I remember there was a list on the original thread with lots of info about activities being planned. Does anyone have that info? We're traveling with young children and asked for early dining. Are there many others on early dining? Have you gotten a dining rotation yet? We'd like to try and join in on that rotation if possible.

When I booked I selected late dining but about two weeks ago we switched to early with no problem. I don't think you'll have a problem if you want early.

Ok, went out for an innocent errand run. Stopped off at Goodwill and dropped off 7 large bags full of stuff. DS had a bunch of toys he was ready to give away. Decided to take him to Cold Stone for a treat but we passed by Levitz. Our store is going out of business. Not sure if its the whole company or just our store. Anyway, everything is 60-80% off. Just for giggles decided to see if they had any decent bedroom sets left. I've toyed with the idea of getting either a full or queen size for DS since he has now passed me up by 2 inches.

Found a nice set with a bookcase headboard and drawers under the bed. I think these are called catain's beds. It was in great conidtion, not sold yet and only $303 out the door. Saw a matching 6 drawer dress and that only added another $150. So now I've got a disassembled bed and chest of drawers in my living room waiting for DS to clear out his room more so we can fit it all in.

We got a captains bed for my DS many years ago and I think it was about $500. So $303 is a very good deal
We still working on cleaning out his room

 

[MrsScooby]

How Cool! I don't really believe it. OK, it wasn't the cruise - but I don't usually win stuff so even a gift card is pretty neat! And, of course, I can always spend $50 on Disney stuff~

Congrats
I thought I saw your name zip by as a winner

Look what I found in the urban dictionary for "Rugby Queen":


A woman who shows up to the "after party" post rubgy game. The party typically includes lots of drinking and this woman is sang to by the players. Her anatomical features are enhanced by song from head to toe. It (the rugby queen tradition) is a joy for all attending.

Julie came to the party after the game, she was pronounced "The Rugby Queen" and a song broke out about her.



The example sentence was exactly as shown here, except I bolded the name!

I guess it was just meant to be

So I leave and go to WDW for a long weekend and find that all of the threads have moved.. WOW what excitment!!! anyway I found you and I am back...



We were at WDW for MLK weekend.. celebrating our anniversary but also the high school choir was there.. to sing at WDW and have a good time. the boys made sure that they showed the choir around .. yep the boys were happy campers.. lots of girls and them..


I wrote a long version of the trip but it got lost in cyberspace.. so the short of it is Dh and I had a great time..Friday night the boys went to epcot and I went to DTD to go to Wolfgang pucks for a salad and then to Ghiradelli for dessert.. The Wolfgang Puck in DTD is closed but I walked to the west side and ate the BBQ chicken salad there... then back to Ghiradelli ...
Saturday Dh and I went to AK. did safari, lion king, bird show, Yak and Yedi for lunch, Nemo, Everest for me and Tough to be a bug for Dh.. then he want to go back to OKW and rest, i stayed and did EE again and watched the parade. Then hopped to MK. Had ice cream there and met DH - we did Haunted Masion, Philaharmagic and laugh floor then it was raining and cold so we went back to OKW. Kids stayed with the Choir kids and "hung out"
Sunday Dh and I went to MGM - did Beauty and the Beast, fast passed TT, did Great Movie ride and then hopped to MK to see the Choir perform. After that We took the boys to lunch at peco bills and then they left to be with "friends'.. Dh and I went to Tiki room and but the lines were so long for everything.. even Country Bears and TTa and Carousel of Progress.. it was worse than in the summer.. so we left and went back to OKW and rested and got warm jackets.. it was cold. Brough jackets for the kids too they were in Tshirts and shorts and it was about 30 degrees.. We headed back to MK about 6ish and the crowds were less.. after Wishes the crowd really thinned out and everything was walk on until 2 am..

Monday DH and I went to Epcot. We fast passed Soarin and did living with the land and Timon and Pumba thing before our fast pass time.. We then went and did Figment, and the Oh Canada movie before our ADR at Le Cellier. The boys met us for lunch. we all had the cheese soup and the fillets. The fillet as on a squash thng not the nornal cheesey potaotes.. good but not great.. then the boys left to join their "friends" and DH and I walked to MGM. We did muppets, TT, Indy and Star Wars and Little Mermaid. The we saw Fantasmic and ran for a boat to Epcot. At Epcot we did Spaceship earth and Illuminations.

On Tuesday we made the likd saty with us .. did Crystal Palace for lunch, Buzz, TTA, Space mountian, Philharmagic, small world and then we left..

Great trip.. Kids loved being their with friends.. we loved that too.. This is the last family trip for years ... boys won;t be going back for a long long time but I am hopping to go in October for F&W ot Dec for Mousefest or November or ???

It does sounds like a great trip -- there is nothing quite like WDW . . .

I don't speak Spanish yet - but I've got the a cd learning program & am going to do my best. My girlfriend & I were trying to find a time when we could go to Costa Rica for a 4 week immersion program!!

If you get that immersion program in before the cruise (and practice a bit) you should be set

 

[MrsScooby]

I was personally enjoying all the banter! Some of us Americans really do have a sense of humor!

Oh & don't forget Hugh Laurie! My DD & her ST friends all think House is the best show on TV!

I love the tv show "House"
I lost it when he started spoofing the reality shows
(giving out immunity and the carnations )

 

[MrsScooby]

I took Spanish in college (w/A's no less) but can't speak (read though)!
What's a translator?

They looked like Blackberrys, but I guess you type in the english and select the language you want and it translates it for you

They varied in price from about $100-$200 and I was wondering if they were worth the money

We were able to swap into a cabin that my sister was going to cancel. Now our kids are able to join their cousins on this cruise of a lifetime. I tried to keep up with the original thread but it moved too fast. I'm glad you have a new thread that's not as intimidating. We are a group of 11. 5 adults, 3 boys aged 22, 13 and 10 and 3 girls aged 15, 11 and 8. I've been chosen as the planner for our group and I'm going to try and join in on the planning here.

Ed-

Welcome to the community Ed!

Let me roll out my little Red Carpet for ya!

Donde esta el bano?
Una cervesa por favor.

All you need to know

"Where is the bathroom" and "A beer please"

I can still read some

Anyone want to come join us in Chat?

$453 for such a bed and a 6 drawer chest? You sure you didn't point a GUN at the clerk as you were payin'? That's legal theft for such nice stuff Monica! The set pictured above is $1898 for the same 2 pieces you've got!

Hey Crash!
Are you and yours feeling better? It seems like everyone has been sick at least some time this winter.

For Cheryl:

Here is a pic of my shrimp tempura from Yak & Yeti

And one more. The kids got a dragon lollipop form Myuki, the candy lady, in Japan.

Zipline -- no problem! Kidnapped by Colombian drug lords (OK, this is where I am saying I have gotten obsessed!) -- not acceptable . . .

We were held up at gunpoint once in Guatemala. We were in a private van with a driver hired by the resort we were staying at, in the jungle on our way to the Tikal ruins, when some guerrilla-types came out of the jungle with machine guns and made the van stop, made us all get out, searched the van, stole our friend's beer and then (thank god) let us go. Right up until that point, I had been asking the driver if there was a place with a restroom nearby. After that, I didn't need it.
