86'd From the Poly? No worries-bring us Margarita's & Wiener Salad! A TFW Meet Aug 08

[jcc0621]

Maybe someone should call ahead to make sure they don't run out of Wiener salad, hate for that to happen

Yeah we'd hate that to happen wouldn't we

One concern I did have is that we may have to eat at a funny time to accomadate us or do several ressies and link them

No clue on how to link ressies. As for the odd time, it doesn't really matter to us as lonng as it is not too late becasue Jimmy gets cranky if we eat too late and a cranky Jimmy would not be a good thing. His head would explode!

OK when you call for the ADR, it is your responsibility to ask for extra weiners


I can be flexible on the time, do we want to make it early like 4 then to accomodate the kids?



Ok so while watching Housewives of Orange COunty and mini infomercial came on for this...

http://www.buxtonbag.com/?cid=440419

I am tempted to get it, it has lots of pockets and an easy access to the main compartment for your wallet. The strap is adjustable, so it should make it easier to take onand off.

Thoughts ladies????

Whatever everyone else wants to do.....

The bag looks like this one http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail that I got from QVC. Love it! I use it alot when we go down the shore and stuff. I don't use it for DW anymore since with Jimmy I have to cary a carp load of stuff. Can't wait fo rthe day that I can go back to using it for WDW

 

[Lauralee131]

'Xcuse me, I have pics of OKW in my trippie.
Wasn't too impressed with it. SSR was much nicer IMO. The only thing I liked was that the people staying there weren't as as the SSR people seemed to be.

I forgot! I went back this morning and re-read the last couple. I'm already kind of mentally prepared that it won't be as nice as SSR, but hey...you can't beat it for the points!

I dunno was I meant to keep count?


OK.........

Me - 4A (my kids will be classed A by then )
T - 2A 2C
LL - 2A 1C
Janet - 3A 1C
V - 2A 1C
Mo - 1A 1C

That's all that have officially replied so far making 14A and 6 C, 20 people

August is going to be a blast!

Oh, and uh...thanks for keeping count Jo!!

It's ok. I haven't written an update in awhile anyway.

 

[cmp1111]

Should I keep this ADR or try for something else, but what???

My tiny little humble opinion - we all 4 loved it!

Jo, loved the reveal! They are so cute!

Kat, way to go!

LL, the boys would start school on the Wed. following - one of the reasons I'm still on the fence. Well, plus money. And vacation time for D...

Sorry I was so behind. Between skiing on Friday and then the parents coming in yesterday, this is my first chance to really catch up - and I'm ignoring my kids' bedtime to do it!

What's up with your avatar, CE? It's freaking me out and I don't get it... Does it mean something?

Didn't mean to scare you. It's for my college - University of Illinois Illini - who are playing in the Rose Bowl on Tuesday.

Hey!

Ye of little faith!

Maybe someone should call ahead to make sure they don't run out of Wiener salad, hate for that to happen

One concern I did have is that we may have to eat at a funny time to accomadate us or do several ressies and link them

I've been thinking about this and what we will probably have to do is sign up as a Grand Gathering and then everyone could have the GG# and everyone can either A) make their own reservation using the GG# or B) Jo could make several ressies on our behalf using the GG#. I can call Dining and find out what we need to do before hand.

OK when you call for the ADR, it is your responsibility to ask for extra weiners

Ooh, Jo's the OFFICIAL WEINER COUNTER!

I can be flexible on the time, do we want to make it early like 4 then to accomodate the kids?

IMO, 4's a little early for my group - I was thinking a 5pm ressie, this way we can set up a 7pm meet with the Non-Weiner Salad Fockers. KWIM?
BUT, that said, I'll go with what the majority decides!

http://www.buxtonbag.com/?cid=440419

Ok - brutal honesty.....
I have this bag, used in on my first WDW trip and IMO - it sucks. The strap made my breasticles look wonky and the strap kept rubbing my neck (and not in a good way) and actually scratched me up pretty good. The concept was great and if it had a softer strap, I'd probably love it. My mom bought it for me from Lillian Vernon - don't if there's a price difference there.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I FOUND A NEW TOY (NO, NOT THAT KIND! Heh Heh Heh) GO TO WWW.PSCALCULATOR(DOT)NET!! You can use the worksheet and type in all your ADR's and then it'll spit out a worksheet showing all your ADR's and when your 180 day window opens and even has a spot to fill in your confirmation number and ADR time. Thanks to the DIS being down these past few days, I've had to find other means of DISney entertainment!

I called a few months ago and we need one key person to register us with GG and then a # is assigned. When you make the ADR you give the GG# and then the ADR's are linked.

Wienerless Fockers go wild in World Showcase!

Dateline Saturday August 23, 2008, EPCOT, WDW

Several Witnesses reported several crazed woman sporting Focker Lanyards running wild and causing a disturbance due to the Biergarten Restaurant running out of Wiener salad. One report has one of the crazed Fockers screaming about a missing Tiki glass. Franz Von Schnitzel, manager of the Biergarten claims the Fockers got agitated and unreasonable when they were told there was no more wiener salad. Mr Von Schnitzel was over heard saying "I have neve seen such a reaction from our patrons because we ran out of wiener salad'. Apparently there was much finger pointing at the Focker with the British accent with accusations of it was her fault as she was the official wiener counter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOCKERS​

Nothing a little date switching can't fix.

That's right! I'm not booked yet, but does someone want to get that started? If not, I'll do it as soon as I book - which won't be until early Feb. FYI.

Yeah, you know what I was thinking after you posted that lover wasn't doing it for you lately

I'm going to have to admit this - TGM is really looking sucky this year. He's been late with the best days info and a lot of his info is out of date. I'm even considering *gasp* of asking for a refund.

I think you have to book the dinner at Odyssey too!

I thought I read on allears that the Odyssey was closing early this year for some sort of major revamping.

It is a year of a million dreams
