A great big pickle...sigh.

[Piglets Mommy]

Good grief! You are such a tease!

Yes she is!

Posting spree. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I think maybe you're getting a little Nutty

Nuttin'... just rollin' wif muh homies!

Hee!!!!!! I am a bag of hammers. I went to bed at 4am and was up not much later. I don't know what to do with myself!! LOL

Ahhh...that explains ALOT

I go away for a couple of hours and you guys go and get all silly on me!

I assume Kari's kids go to school year round?

Tracy, where the HECK did you make new ressies?

I think the words Nutty or Crazy might fit better right now.

Yup... you got it! They got out July 1st, and go back July 27th. I really like having them home, but today they are arguing and shadowing me. UGH!! But they will spend next Tuesday and Wednesday with their cousins. Then Tucker will go to camp for a week. Then back to school!

OK Tracy... you have waited long enough! What are your ADRs at this point?

I wish we had year round school here. Chris has ADHD and does MUCH better with the same routine all the time. He goes a little stir crazy during the summer, and then had a hard time re-adjusting once school starts back up.

Yo Kat!

I have never heard of going to school year round. My kiddos would definitely have something to say about that!

My current ressies are as follows:

Kona for breakie two mornings
Sci Fi for lunch
Narcoosee's for late dinner
Le Cellier for late dinner
Crystal Palace for lunch
Fulton's for dinner
Flying Fish for late dinner
Planet Hollywood for late lunch --> hubby's one and only request. Sigh.
Hoop dee doo for dinner

I know! I'm starving too! So I made taco shrimp dip and I think I'm gonna eat the whole thing.

That's it for ressies for this very moment. I will be adding more. Just need to get my days straightened out. Have you been skimming, girl? I don't have a clue what dining plan I'm getting! It's either going to be Basic Dining Plan for the entire stay and pay for some quick meals out of pocket or deluxe dining plan just for the Poly stay. Need to run the $$$$. Do you have any idea how long it took me to snag Le Cellier? Do YOU?!?!?! 4 o'clock in the morning!!!! I've been busy!

Yum....

I never thought of that benefit to the online ADR's. At least I can do something "productive" when I can't sleep at night once I am within my 90 day window.
And I have a friend who works the overnight shift....I'll bet she could help me out on her "lunch" break by checking to see what's open at 3 am every few nights. I might get that Le Cellier ressie after all!

Where is Christine? You are right..she hasn't been around. I hope everything's ok!

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Hay! I'll have you know I am not crazy, well, not certified yet is really what I mean. Bwahahaha!

The ADR system is sassy! I had to resort to putting in every single time they have listed. I finally hit an 8:45 ressie, but the system didn't recognize it when I searched 8:00pm (you know how it searches the hour before and the hour after?) Confused? Do they stay open later than the park does? I don't get how that works. According to the hours site, Epcot closes at 7pm yet I have a ressie for 8:45. Um, ya think we'll have the entire place to ourselves?

ETA. Christine is hanging with that cutie patootie Sophia.

Hubby took me to Steak&Shake for dinner--I was so hungry after reading your ressies! And, yes, you caught me...I must have been skimming.

Do you know HOW lucky you were to get LeCellier this close to your trip? Most people can't get it at their 90 day mark!

I think the words Nutty or Crazy might fit better right now.

Yes, you are right. I don't know why I said silly.

Where is Christine? You are right..she hasn't been around. I hope everything's ok!

I hope Christine is okay too! It's not like her not to be here. Christine, let us know you are okay, please.

Busted, skimmer!

Oh yum! Never heard of the place.

Yes, I know how lucky I am. Woot! However, I cannot get dinner ressies for my own hotel's restaurant - 'Ohanas. Now *that* is ridiculous.

Steak&Shake is a hamburger chain, sit down. Really good burgers and awesome fries and shakes. Yep, I had the Patty Melt platter, fries and a side order of onion rings. And a CHOCOLATE SHAKE. I don't care if I gained 10 pounds...it was so good.

Keep trying for Ohanas--something may open. I was able to get Andy into Lecellier the day before they left!

I am so bummed. I just discovered that Fulton's is not on the dining plan. That? Is ridiculous. Makes zero sense that some restaurants aren't on the plan. What gives? So, the hunt is on again.

I LOVE onion rings. Man on man. Drooling right now a la Homer Simpson!

 

[Panotchr]

Wow, I went out to dinner with a friend and I missed a party over here

Le Cellier any time is LOVELY!

I can't get the stinkin' online thing to work for me....
I get to the part that asks you to type in the words you see and then I hit enter and it spins and spins and spins and spins and...... well, you get the idea. I have had to call two times, but I did get what I wanted.

So, did you decide on a plan yet, Tracy? I hate that Fultons is not on there and not to throw a monkey wrench in on you..... but I know that the Turf Club at SSR is an excellent choice if you like steak

Pickles anyone???

I TOLD YOU Fulton's was not on the dining plan, Ms. Skimmer!!!! Yes, it's a shame, but very few of the downtown restaurants are on the plan. That's why we only go every other year...because it is pricey, but so good!

A lot of people have problems with the online dining and others have no problems. I had absolutely no problems when I was making ressies for son two nights before he went!

I've heard Tuf Club at SSR is very good. It is on our list for a future trip.

 

[KatMark]

I'm going to bed ladies. I have to go back to work tomorrow after having been home the last six days. And I'm still emotionally drained from Baby Santiago's wake last night. Hope to catch up with all you gals tomorrow. Night night...don't let the bed bugs bite.

Really? I've been on the ressie site 654841 times at all hours of the day and have not had a problem once. Well, 'cept when I was trying to book a dinner ressie for 3am, that kinda got the thing to spin and spin and spin and spin.

Nope, I haven't made the call yet, but 75% sure we'll do QSP at CSR and Deluxe DP at the Poly. I do like steak, but rarely order it in a restaurant. I'll do anything once though. Ja.

I don't know why I'm going to eat at my own pavilion at Epcot, but since it's all the rave, well, I'll do anything once...

Yes. You will walk out through an empty park. But many times Future World closes and World Showcase remains open.

I have never heard of going to school year round. My kiddos would definitely have something to say about that!

It is actually really cool. They go to school for 9 weeks, then get a 3 week break. They don't get as tired of school because they are constantly going on a break. And we get to take off season vacations!

We are planning to go to the beach for the day on Sat. We'll take a picnic lunch, and get some fresh seafood for dinner before coming home. And I will get to sit under my umbrella all day and read my book!

Night hon! Get some rest. Pretty sure I'll still be here when you wake up. LOL!

I'm drooling myself! I'm cranky that I have to nix Fulton's though. Apparently I skimmed and missed Kathy's post. My bad.

That *is* a neat idea for school. Wish we had that here. They just about drive me to drink in the summer.

Your weekend sounds lurvley. We're spending ours laying hardwood flooring and painting. Again. Rinse, lather, repeat for the next three weekends. THENNNNNNN.... MICKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[karibritt01]

I wish I could replace my linoleum in the kitchen with hardwood. i have a huge hole where I dropped the mixer putting it in the cabinet. But my home improvement of choice would be to replace my kitchen countertops. We have the ugly white builder's standard. I would kill for a nice corian with a molded sink... then a flat top stove to go with it!

That was odd... I just edited and deleted it, but when I posted it had a post of Kathy's quoted at the top. *Insert Twilight Zone theme music here.*

My kitchen was completely refurbished two years ago. Totally gutted. We actually reversed it. Kitchen is now where the dining area was and vice versa. I didn't get corian but I do have a fancy schmancy double sink. I hope you get your countertop!

That Kathy...she just sneaks up everywhere!

Hi Heather, Tracy
I believe you guys are still on. I was at the Phillies game - it was great as the Phils won it in the bottom of the ninth 3-2

Tracy - keep trying for O'Hanas. I hear this restaurant is the "in" one right now. You will love HDDR. Calif. Grill is awesome if you want to put another 2 signature meal in.

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Yay Phillies!

I am trying right now to get 'Ohanas. Grrrrrrr. It's waaaaaay past my bedtime though. I am about ready to fall over.

 

[Janet B]

This got buried in all the posts. I'm SO sorry. We don't like the "Cancer" word here. No way. Stinks. My thoughts and prayers are with your mommy.

Enjoy that Phillies game. I had the opportunity to see them a few times five years ago, but chose to hit Franklin Mills instead. (um, several times actually.) Woot!!

Thanks Tracy - my Mom was lucky, she found the lump during an exam and went right in - good thing as it was considered agressive, but the docs believe it did not spread. She's a fighter!

Been to Franklins Mills too - now we have the "Philadelphia Premium Outlets" Love it but the Limerick nuclear plant is in the back yard, I'm sure the land came cheap. If least if something goes wrong, I went out Shopping!
