9/24/09 3 Day Wonder - Cruise Meets, and FEs, and Goombays oh my!

[karentan]

i think technically its the pre- pre-cruise meet this is getting confusing!!

 

[jenny105]

That's what I said!

 

[karentan]

still i'm not going to turn down good food and great company!!

 

[jenny105]

I've never been to Ohana. I think I'm the only one out of our group. Joe has been there but with his family years ago. DIS doesn't exactly give it a glowing review but I don't care. I'm looking forward to it!

 

[Lilo's Mom]

We get in on the 23rd at 6 pm, and now we are staying at the Hyatt at the airport for the night.

 

[m_kasch]

LOL!! I totally checked ebay for Le Cellier too!!

That's kind of twilight zone-ish that you two have the same exact post count!! It's like a race now...who can have the most?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Jen, there were lots of teenagers there just to see Jesse McCartney or however you spell that. I really got a kick out of how many of them were all decked out in their 80s gear for NKOTB...they weren't really 80s. More 90s. But they had the crimped hair and everything!! LOL!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

yeah jen DIS doesnt give it a great review but i loved it when we went i mean if you want a quiet dinner it is not the place to go but you are at disney and Ohana means family so they try to give you a family type feel witht he entertainment i liked it.
well the only room i have left to paint is the bathroom and now we can get started on the floors, i have become addicted to the pool LOL. Its nice to come home and relax in the pool once the humidity has died down i am happy it is only supposed to get up to 90 tomorrow WOOHOO below 95. it has been so hot lately. Everyone in my family is coming over saturday for the fourth and we are gonna shoot of what the GA government calls fireworks(glorified sparklers) i hope yall are all having a wonderful week.

 

[karentan]

jenny's definately winning on the post count on this thread anyway!!

we enjoyed ohana last year, but we do like out meat a little rarer than they cook it but we just went with the flow anyway! the chicken wings are great and the dessert is to die for!!!

its been really hot here recently too, i've been soaking the dog with the hosepipe everyday, i think he's suffering in the heat a bit. it was about 86 degrees here which is pretty rare over here, the UK isnt the warmest of places normally!!! i'm off to spain in 11 days and its supposed to be even hotter over there at the mo!

 

[m_kasch]

Karen, Spain sounds so fun! I'm bummed, I don't get to go to the lake this weekend. Tim & Minnie still get to go though, I have a concert on Friday and then on on Saturday too. I love being in the band, but, especially because I play the bass in Jazz band (the Saturday concert) i feel obligated to be there when this time I would rather not. Oh, well. I'm going to go stay at my dad's on Saturday night I think, that will be nice.

I tried looking online right at 6 EST in hopes of a le cellier...nothing. Ressies are really hard to come by this year, I wonder why that is. Last year, we switched weeks pretty close to our 45 day mark during free dining and didn't have any troubles. Maybe i'll find one on ebay....

 

[jenny105]

Mary - New Kids was the very tail end of the 80s. I think Hangin Tough came out in 88. They kind of fell between the two decades. 80's cheesiness is fun!

I think about half the posts on this thread are from me and Karen.

Lainey - I'm sure I'll love Ohana! If you want to go to a boring, regular restaurant...well, you can do that anywhere. I really don't get why people complain about it.

Karen, when do you leave for Spain? I know you told me but I forgot.

 

[karentan]

i leave next saturday. cant wait.

to be honest i'm really f****d off at the mo, gary went into town earlier to get my/his phone sorted and their system was down, so i'm still without a phone. he "didnt get round" to going back later in the afternoon, and he's out all day at work tomorrow, he's going to try and get into a store tomorrow but probably wont be able to til thursday. give it 3/4/5 days to get fixed and bottom line i'm stuck without a phone til ar least the weekend. he's due for an upgrade tomorrow but we need to get this one fixed first as he planned to sell his old phone.
i know he tried to take it into the store, but i get the idea that if it was him without a phone he'd have sat outside the shop and it'd be sorted by now. either that or he'd have stolen mine and i'd still be stuck without a phone.

sorry to vent but i'm really p****d off right now and i needed to get it out.

i'm supposed to be going to the staff bbq tonight too and to be honest i'm totally not in the mood right now. but i have to go so will just have to suck it up and get on with it.

 

[jenny105]

That sucks, Karen. I hope you get everything sorted out with your phone soon. That's got to be annoying.

I've been doing NOTHING but working on Disney since I got back from lunch. And it's not even for me! I have so many people with trips booked in August and a few more with Oct/Nov/Dec travel dates, it's crazy!! I have 3 families who have their final payment is due on the same day! I can't even keep track of them anymore lol.

Yesterday was all Disney too. I put a hold on a new booking, sent email reminders for final payment, finished off my ADRs, processed a final payment, and then got a phone call from someone who I sent to Disneyland. They lost their documents. Tickets included. There was nothing I could do about it. They had to re-purchase their tickets. He wasn't even upset about it. I would have been furious with myself.

I'm Disney-ed out lol.

 

[karentan]

i'd probably be the same, bit annoyed that i'd lost them but resign myself to the fact that i'd need to pay to replace them. i really dont understand people who insist on shouting at someone else when they messed up themselves.

well i'm back from the barbeque, i was only there for less than 3 hours, i was drinking to start with but felt really ill (i think its because i hadnt eaten anything in 8 and a half hours) so stopped drinking, then got really bored. so i came home and am watching ace of cakes instead!
i'm actually going to go to bed in a mo, i havent been feeling great all day anyway and i dont think going out did myself any favors.
i've calmed down about my phone, its still really annoying but i think earlier i had a few annoying things one after the other on the way home (traffic, bad drivers etc) and the phone thing kinda pushed me over the edge. but theres not as if i can do anything about it.

 

[disney honeymooners]

Yeah Karen we had to buy our dogs a baby pool for them to lay in since it is around 95 everyday they said today was supposed to be a high of 90 and of course they were wrong as usual it was 98. But one of our dogs the one who we just got back from the vet (Parvo) is a Husky and the other dog we have is a chow mix so they both are haveing problems with the heat so we brushed them out to try and get their undercoats out(mainly for the husky named star and nope its not a girl) to try and make them alittle more comfortable.
They have their pool and the humans have ours which i get in almost every day to cool off thank goodness for it the humidity is driving me batty.
Yeah greg likes his meat a little more rare then me i like medium well he likes medium which i can eat but any rarer and i cant eat it.
My arm looks like someone grabbed it at squeezed real hard next time i try to donate blood i am gonna have to make sure i drink alot more water so my veins dont collapse and i get all bruised up. (i already have enough bruises from being a clutz and running into things and falling down i dont need more added to my list)

 

[m_kasch]

Minnie LOVES to swim. We are always telling her that she will love it when we move to FL someday because she will have a pool in her backyard!! She would go nuts!!

Lainey, I tried giving blood once, but it was bad. It stopped working about 3/4 of the way through, and I got really sick afterwards. They said that some people cannot give blood. I was at college, and my RA had to come get me and I got out of class the rest of the day. The next day, I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired, I was falling asleep in class, then I was telling my teacher about it later, and she was like, I was wondering what was wrong with you today!! LOL! So, no blood giving for me!

Are you all excited -- less than two weeks now for Harry Potter!! I was rewatching the trailers last night, and I will have to find time to re-read the book before hand to refresh. The end is going to be so sad though...it makes me a little teary just thinking about it. Tim says, it's just a movie. He just doesn't understand, LOL!!

 

[jenny105]

I can't wait til Harry Potter!!!!!!! I'm re-reading the book. As of last night, I'm at Chapter 10. I'm planning on going to see it at midnight.

I'm going to see Public Enemies tonight. I can't wait for that either. I hope it's good. Johnny Depp rocks. Christian Bale isn't bad either except that he's a total psycho who screams at people on his sets. As long as he doesn't do the Batman voice, I love him too.

My dog hated to swim. I had a black lab and they're supposed to love water...nope, not him. All those shows on ESPN that show the dogs jumping into a pool (most of them labs) to chase after a duck or whatever it is that they throw, he would never do that. My dog would've stopped short and looked at me like 'Are you crazy?' I miss my doggie. We had to put him to sleep a few years ago.

I wonder if this will be the 3rd Disney filled day in a row at work...I'm having issues with people making their final payment. Got them on the phone, said they'd call me back, and I haven't heard anything yet.

 

[karentan]

i've had a c**p day, but on the upside gary got his upgrade and i've now got a phone, which is great in itself, but i've also got my new touchscreen phone, its sooo pretty

but back to work. i think i'm quitting tomorrow. i've had enough of being spoken to like a piece of dirt, this is what i got told in the space of 20 minutes:
-she doesnt think my heart isnt in my job (i like it, so thats rubbish),
-that apparently i've got nothing to do most of the time (c**p),
-and that she thinks that the stuff she tells me goes in one ear and out the other.

what she forgets is that i'd never done any of the stuff i do before i started. i've been there 5 months, and am still very much learning.

i've had enough of being spoken to like dirt, being constantly watched, and all the b***chiness.
i also think this is why i havent been sleeping well and pretty much had a constant cold for months.
i've just gotten to the point where i dont think its worth it anymore. i'm not on that much money and i spoke to one of the concessions on park on my way home and i've already got another job if i want it.
it sucks as it means i'll be going back to longer more unsociable hours, and i wont see gary as much but i just dont think i can put up with it much longer.

 

[m_kasch]

Karen, i'm sorry you are having such a sucky time with your job. I hope it gets better, or you get something better!

I think (Karen again) that you mentioned you were going to rent a car to get to the port. Alamo is running a special right now, $20 a day for a compact or $24 per day for a midsize. You can pick it up at the Dolphin. Not sure if you are interested, but it seems like a good deal!

 

[jenny105]

Sorry you've been having a rough day at your job, Karen. My boss can be a ***** sometimes too. I hope things get better or that you find another job you can be happy at.

But yay you have a phone again!

 

[karentan]

i dont know what to do, i know i shouldnt quit as its steady money, but i dont like or dislike my job, i can get another job tomorrow, but i just dont want to be going into work everyday and feel like i have to watch over my shoulder all the time.
