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

[Disneyland_Mama]

I didn't even know you smoked at all. Oh well.

I don't. Except when influenced by my friends - those darn enablers.

 

[Disneyolic]

The grand marnier slushie was heaven in a plastic cup! I second the vote for the sake and slushies!!!!! YUMMMMMMM!

That sounds wonderful!

 

[Disneyolic]

I don't. Except when influenced by my friends - those darn enablers.

I don't smoke anymore. Quit way back in 1990ish. I think that's why I drink too much when handed drinks ...

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Ack!!!!!! I've just gotten off the phone with Airtran for the 3rd time this week!

Our flight was changed again!!! I'm about to go Postal on them. I had to switch flights again! This time they had us leaving at 2pm - that means ME would pick us up at 11am! That's just too darn early for me - so I switched us to a 7pm flight. At this rate, I have no idea where it will stop. I doubt I'll fly Air Train again.

 

[jcc0621]

No worries - I still have half a pack laying around somewhere from New Years 2006.

Yuck.

Please, I will make sure Jim and I have extra's, throw out the one's from 2006

Nah, I didn't fall - I jumped. Funny, the last smoke I had was August 26th.

I don't. Except when influenced by my friends - those darn enablers.

I have never had these issues with Air Tran. DO they give a reason as to why your flight keeps changing

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Oh good! More peeps to bum smokes from. I don't know why a drink is soooo much better when you've got a smoke in your hand.

Nope, but they just keep telling me I can keep switching my flights for free as long as the flight can accomodate us. Sooooo.... guess what I'm thinking.......

Since my departure flight has changed I'm thinking of flying out the night before on the red eye and arriving at MCO around 9am ish on the 20th. Here's the thing, though. Will they let us check in? I mean what are the chances that we'll be able to check in around 11am? Isn't SSR notorious for not having rooms available early??? I know we'll be dead tired and in need of a room, so I'm on the fence about it. The good thing is I get an extra half day if I can get the gang to fly the red eye instead.
OMG! I've got it really, really bad! Someone hold me back!

ANd you will have a choice, I smoke menthols and Jim smokes regulars

Do it T...and extra half day. Just pack your bathing suits and hang out at the pool until your room is ready. You can cat nap on the loungers

Love your friendly neighborhood enablers

Methols?? I haven't smoked a menthol since high school!

Dammit, Janet! That's a great idea! I'm going in for the kill tonight when the guys get home. They're at a charity golf tourney - would've loved to see that!

Anyone else see this on touring plans??? Dangnabbit! I hate free dining!
Rumor: Free dining to be offered starting April 10
Don't quote us on this, but we've heard from multiple sources inside and outside Disney that Disney's "free dining" offer will return on April 10, 2008. We're not sure which travel dates will be included, but we'll post more information as soon as we hear it.

FWIW, this happens a lot to me, both on Air Tran and Delta. The upside? I've never yet had it work out other than in my favor!

I'm all for it! Can you guys get some sleep on the flight? If you can grab at least a few hours that way, it'll help take the edge off. If SSR doens't have a room yet (and I'll interject here that if you're willing to forego any requests, they may be able to get you in somewhere), I highly recommend snoozing at the pool and an early bedtime. Maybe that would help fight jet-lag and get you on FL time, too?

Exactly!

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

We haven't mentioned the Grey Goose slushies on here?! I know we've mentioned it somewhere....


T: Sleeping on the SSR pool loungers is fabulous!



I'm kinda happy about free dining.....

 

[PrincessV]

I'm kinda happy about free dining.....

Sorry Z - I don't mean to rain on your parade! I'm not happy about the crowds free dining brings. The only thing I like about late Aug. is the low crowds.

And with that, I'd be VERY surprised if it starts Aug. 10. FL schools don't go back until 8/18 - historically, free dining always started after FL schools went back, no?

 

[KatGarcia]

I'm kinda happy about free dining.....

I am happy about saving $$$$$!!!

So I have a twisted disney question that I know you all will be able to answer for me better than any CM...

If when free dining comes out can Z book it using my Disney Visa? I know the cardholder codes will come out first so it gives us a better chance of getting what we want, no? Does that even make sense????

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Sorry Z - I'm with V on that one. The crowds were crazy after free dining started and NOF <<donning my flame suit>>but I noticed the crowds going from pleasant to down right rude.
I do believe free dining won't start until the 31st, though. Possibly the 23rd. I'm hoping that's the case, that way I'll be long gone by then! Whew!

I am happy about saving $$$$$!!!

Trust me, I was too. In fact free dining in '06 was great BUT we went in mid-Sept, virtually crowdless. Fast forward August '07 it was like this:
I can take heat and I can take crowds, put those together and you've got a nightmare!

I'm not sure I'm following why you need Z to call it in? But at any rate, as long as you're on the ressie, she would be fine using your CC. I booked our room using Waldo's Disney CC, since I don't have one.

She should be able to do that since your name is on the room ressie. I can't see them having a problem with it.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I did it - with the reassurance of my fellow enablers, Janet, V and LL. Thanks girls!
We are now coming in on the red-eye - departing LAX around 11ish and arriving at MCO around 9:30 ish. This should be interesting - I'm going to make sure TE packs the Xanax.

I'm going to call WDW and have them note our ressie that I'm coming in early and will be traveling with little ones and disgruntled seniors and I'll be needing a room a little early. Hehehe

 

[sorul82?]

I don't. Except when influenced by my friends - those darn enablers.

Uh-umm.....not all of your friends are enablers.

From someone who does a night flight home and with major time difference my advice would be do everything and anything you can to get some sleep!!!!! But woohoo an extra day

Uh-umm.....not all of your friends are enablers.

Well we do know where we stand K don't we

She would be getting a Florida resident rate on the room.

Yes, you are all enablers in one way or another!

Hehehe... at this rate, by June I'll have us at a full 2 week stay!

Well we do know where we stand K don't we

Right there with all my other enabling friends!

She would be getting a Florida resident rate on the room.

Errr... uhhh... I do know they ask for the billing address, so I really don't know how that would work out. Good luck though. FYI: You know you have to pay rack rate to get free dining - you can't get free dining with FL res. rate.
