Not sure. It might be the artist rendering of Figment. I had to ask about the nos. The angle this was taken looks like the nose was smashed flat. DD says it looks ok from everywhere else.

Off to the store for joint supplement to help the knees.

I was just thinking of you ! Honest to goodness I was thinking poor girl asked me a question and I answered rather quickly then we were chatting up a storm here and I thought she will never find her answer :rotfl: so glad you did !

First it IS a possibility but you need to tell me things ..when do you think you have the time to come down? What kind of budget are you dealing with and don't think ANY number is silly or low I LOVE a challenge and finding bargains !!? Are you driving? Lets make Magic happen !!

I am on call today and had to go into work for a little while, but I am back :thumbsup2 We will probably fly because my mom is in Ohio and my husband usually drives me for long distance trips. I really have no idea yet about anything else :rotfl: I need to speak with my mom's husband when we go up there in August. She has been trying to talk him into a short trip and he keeps saying no, but I think if I am paying for the room as a present he might change his mind. I would really LOVE to stay at the POLY, mom is obsessed with this place and we have tried to work it into our Oct plans but just can't. I know this is not fitting in with the "thrifty" vaca, but if I can make that happen she would be sooooooo excited :cheer2: As far as a budget ?, I can work some extra call to make some $ but I try not to do that so I can spend time with the fam. If I do the trip in Feb, I can use tax money but that takes away from the oct trip. Dilemmas abound!!!

Well if you are talking about the Poly for the weekend trip I am going to tell you it will be hard to book, it will be expensive, and there is so much going on btwn lets say Sept and Dec this year that I wouldn't think it would be worth it to say there (IF you can get it) and not do parks as you originally said...why torture yourself ?? Dilemmas indeed !
 
I see that actually I saw it and responded to it on Raina's mothers PTR :rotfl2: there I was looking at her adorable children and the next thing you know here comes tonight's Figment nightmare I almost fell over :scared: those aren't her legs what exactly are you showing us ??

and as you left I made a comment about you going to the store you need to go up a few and catch up :rotfl2::rotfl2: you all falling behind...answered your email earlier too

I agree with Ruthie about the Poly. It has been a very long time since I have stayed there. I will go play around there while at another resort.

I will PM you a site about the Poly you can browse thru and get the pre trip fix that way. :cool1:

If shes looking at Jan/Feb Ed the marathoners will probably take all the monorail resort rooms that seems to be what's being said on the running/events boards
 
I would say sleep at the value's and wander the grounds. Do lunch and dinner there. Watch the fireworks and water pageant from the beach.
 
I am going to be quiet now & go watch a movie this will give you Raina a chance to put the kids to bed & Ed I will shut up so you can catch up....answer the email dammit :lmao:...leaving now....:rotfl:
 
No you are remembering incorrectly as am I also :lmao:

NY State Worlds Fair was 1939 ( don't think you were there !) and 1964/1965

here's a cool link : and for those knowing NOTHING about the fair OR Queens NY in general if you go to the link you will see the "sphere" I referred to looks like the planet OH more trivia the opening of the TV Show "King of Queens" showed this and YES I will admit to sounding like "Carrie" from that show with a little Brooklyneese thrown in for good measure :goodvibes

http://www.imagineeringdisney.com/b...ains-of-the-1964-65-new-york-worlds-fair.html



Now for the part I am remembering wrong was the year we first went it was not early 80s but mid...1985 to be exact as thats the year the Hyundai Excel first came out ( bing is my friend why google like everyone else ? LOL ) and I bought it new...probably 4 0r 5 grand stripped no a/c even but it was an accomplishment for me cash money no car loan I was so proud ! Yes busy times

Fred & I met 1983 but got married 1986 I put him off thought he was a fool...yeah well ....

ah the joys of getting older they say the memory is the first thing to go

I am still amazed Hyundai's were around in the 80's. I would have guessed 90's. That is too cool you bought it with cash brand new!! very cool.

Now about my confusion. I was pretty young. I'm guessing 5-7 ish. Our family took us to a huge fair in NY. I remember meeting Lassie (the original) and seeing a guy wrestle either alligators or crocs in a very very tall round cage. Oh, and I remember getting sick on the ferry to my Uncles house on Long Island. hahaha. I have no idea what the fair was about. And maybe it wasn't as huge as I remember it. But, one of my older brothers had suggested it may have been the Worlds Fair. But, apparently not. I was just an infant then. ;) Thanks for sharing Ruthie.

Ed - the artwork in those tattoos ....amazing. Besides the artwork 4 things came to my mind instantly 1) that Maleficent reminds me of the dragon from Enchanted...2) ouch! 3) $$$$ 4) Figment looks mean....sharp teeth. Again, though, the artwork is incredible.

BTW, I meant to comment earlier Ed... sideways writing...:rolleyes1 not easy for a woman that suffers from vertigo. :lmao:


ALMOST forgot... about the Poly, so many people dream of it. We did too, finally we made it to a stay there and were very disappointed. BUT we had a car and always seemed to have to park 1 mile away from our room. With 3 exhausted kiddos it was a long walk every night. And I hate to say this because I am NOT a clean freak, but and this was many many years ago, the cleaning crew was very disappointing. from the minute we walked in I was disappointed. Again, that was about 15 - 18 years ago.
If you are not going to get park passes, perhaps a downtown disney resort would be better. The other thing you may want to look into is annual passes. Not sure how far apart your trips will be, or how long you will stay on the BIG trip, but they say usually a 10 day or more park hopper pass is worth getting an annual pass. So, if your Big trip is 10+ days, and is less than 12 months apart from your mini trip it may be worth it. Then the AP also USUALLY gets AP room discounts. Not sure if there are better deals out there or not. But, some food for thought. Or maybe Ruthie, or ED can tell you how those thoughts of mine might pan out financially.
 
And now a message from our sponsors

wise guy your message obviously went across the room and got into my head...there I was watching " Darby O'Gil and the little people" and before you know it I wake up to the ending music playing over & over

I loved that car, can still hear the commercial saying Hyundai rhymes with Monday :rotfl: lots of people said they were crap because they were cheap & made in Korea had bad rep for dying with not many miles I had mine over 200,000 miles actually most of family got into Hyundai we had Accent, Elantra then Santa Fe never a problem

I can hardly keep my eyes open wherever did the day go ? TTY tomorrow
