An Invasion of a "STRANGER" Kind.... NEW THREAD IS UP!! Go Thee NOW!

[Millie12591]

unfortunately not much time to post on the DIS, but on the question of non-burger CS meals at the MK: why not try the Columbia Harbour House. I love the hummus sandwich and many people rave about the tuna sandwich.

Columbia Harbor House is probably my most favorite place to eat for atmosphere (CS wise) in MK. If you eat upstairs you can find a quiet place to eat. As far as food choice and taste I love eating at Cosmic Rays, they have some pretty good grub!

woohooty!!! I love the feeling of having the trip all paid for!! that's when it feels 'real " to me.

Amen sista!

She's my Hero!!!!

HURRAY!!!!!

How nice is it to get a friendly, attentive CM on the phone!!! It makes the experience so much more enjoyable!

The magical CM's are a big part of what keeps me calling back and making trips. If he'd been snarky or not very magical I would have hung up and called back until I got a good one.

YAY for Bekka ... 17 ... wow ... ok - I'm going to avoid thinking about my three turning that age (yep, at the same time).



Congratulations!! What a blessing ... hope it's the BEST year yet!!

Happy Birthday Bekka!!! May this year be blessed beyond measure sweetie girl!
Our birthdays are only a few days apart.

Herzliche Glückwünsche zum Geburtstag Bekka!!​

(After 5 years of German classes, this is one phrase that won't leave my memory! )

Happy Birthday Bekka! Hope your mom lets you have a little fun for once!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Leisa, so happy you have your trip paid for and ressies all made! I love the rules - I needed a few of those on our Las Vegas convention trip.

Happy Birthday to Bekka!
How is your friend Joseph? Sorry if I misssed the update.
I looked up the trouble in KXXXXstan - looks so scarey, and then your friends are just stuck there. I'm praying for their safety and yours - I'll be glad when you are safely here in the USA! God Bless you for your sacrifices!

It's pretty difficult to say for English speakers, isn't it? Üs seem not to be very popular with tongues who grew up on English But at least it is a positive phrase to be stuck with!

 

[nodnol]

Hi Bekka, happy birthday!
I hope you had a great day and a big cake!

 

[All7OfUs]

Thanks, Everyone! I'll make sure she sees these in the morning- where it will still be her birthday over there.

Replies coming tomorrow, and an update too!! DAY #5!!! (hmmm, or is it #6 ??)

 

[jenbear123]

Liesa could you PM me and give me the low down on what I've missed his past week?! Because there's no way I'm gonna be able to catch up...before I leave again anyway

 

[englishrose47]

Afternoon Liessa well it is here who knows what it is there !!! Anywho ( love that word )I am now the proud owner of a Toshiba windows 7 laptop and Phil has it all set up for me and I am loving it !! NO MORE SHARING!!!!!!!!

 

[maroo]

Liesa, Oh Liesa......

Call me, sister!

We have some scheduling adjustments to make.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Anyway, this has happened before, and we're not too concerned here, but we have many company members there in the cities where there is rioting!! We are praying they are not in danger!

Praying for you and your friends, Liesa!

1) Do you think LeeAnn has a pretty good chance at arriving in time for our ADR? If coming straight to the Poly for the airport? That's over an hour and a half.

2) I'm really waffling on the massage. After reading Crissy's review, I'm more excited about it, and would love to be pampered. It would be a 25 minute "experience"; do you think 1 1/2 hrs. is enough time scheduled in there? 11:30-1:00

3) Am I right in that they don't issue FiPs during EMH?? I know amateur question... just seeing who's paying attention.

1. Yes, she should just make it! Have a Lapu ready for her!
2. Probably, but definitely max out your time there - $75 for 25minutes?
3. I actually wouldn't have know that

Happy Birthday Bekka!!

Liesa, congrats on paying off your dream vacation! Its official!​

 

[All7OfUs]

Your plans are really coming a long! Yay, for being paid in full!! Doesn't that just make things more real!? Looks like a great Easter. Happy Birthday, Bekka. Hope you had a great day.
Pinnochio's Haus is now one of my 3 favorite CS in Disney! We ate there on our last night. I got the salad- really good I recommend it, but the thing to write home about is the Meatball sub. Mitch and Emily got one and it was so good. The thing was huge and it comes with a generous portion of fries. I think it is now my favorite food item at a CS in Disney!! The sub was better then the local Pizza shop. Plus, I love getting a window table and having a view of IASW while we eat. I really recommend this place.

Hi Barbara!

Monday morning here, and my world just fell apart!! Well, not really, but big, huge monster ugly changes at Disney have me all torked off and mad! Update below....

I DO like meatball subs!! I DO, I DO!!!!! OK, you may actually have convinced me this is the way to go!

Happy Birthday, Bekka!

And congrats, Liesa, for getting all your ressies done and paid for!!

Woo-hoo!!


Kathy

Paid in full, but there's trouble in River City!!

Columbia Harbor House is probably my most favorite place to eat for atmosphere (CS wise) in MK. If you eat upstairs you can find a quiet place to eat. As far as food choice and taste I love eating at Cosmic Rays, they have some pretty good grub!

CHH will never leave my line up!! I love that place, if only for the tuna sandwich!!

Yup! Nice CMs are such a breath of fresh air, aren't they? Well, if they've made sure to grab a mint before they go on stage.

Leisa, so happy you have your trip paid for and ressies all made! I love the rules - I needed a few of those on our Las Vegas convention trip.

Yes, you should definitely draft up a Constitution for all of your future trips!! Especially if you are going with family!!! Make them read it, then take an oath using fingerprints in blood.
Joseph is doing much better. They are waiting for a final EEG to get travel permission from the insurance co. After that, they'll be set to come home.

Meanwhile, another collegue (also on that team) has been having increasing tinitis and vertigo. He left for Thailand for evaluation, and they found a brain tumor. He will have it removed in Bangkok (if Obama care goes down the crapper - yes, it will!, I highly recommend any care you need in Bangkok. They have AMAZING care there with Western standards!!!) He will most likely lose ALL hearing in his right ear. We are really, really sad for Andy!!

Things in Kygyzstan have calmed down, and our friends are hoping to get their passports back tomorrow when gov't offices open back up.

 

[All7OfUs]

Liesa could you PM me and give me the low down on what I've missed his past week?! Because there's no way I'm gonna be able to catch up...before I leave again anyway

Sure! Just my plans for Days 1-4. BUT!!!! There's BIG TROUBLE!!! More on that below... I AM PISSED!!!!

Welcome home!! BTW, are you going to include your cruise in your next TR?? You're getting pretty close to the next adventure!

Afternoon Liessa well it is here who knows what it is there !!! Anywho ( love that word )I am now the proud owner of a Toshiba windows 7 laptop and Phil has it all set up for me and I am loving it !! NO MORE SHARING!!!!!!!!

Actually, it must have been the middle of the night. I was having sweet Disney dreams , until I opened this thread.... See below...

Congrats on your new computer!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!! Watch out, that's like giving Wyatt Earp a new 6-shooter!

Liesa, Oh Liesa......

Call me, sister!

We have some scheduling adjustments to make.

Ummm.... you have absolutely NO idea how disturbed, upset, angry, I am at this!!! I know, we aren't "entitled" to anything, BUT......... I chose these dates for....

WEll, at the very least, (and of not much other worth) it does create some PTR drama- as if we needed any more.

Praying for you and your friends, Liesa!



1. Yes, she should just make it! Have a Lapu ready for her!
2. Probably, but definitely max out your time there - $75 for 25minutes?
3. I actually wouldn't have know that

Happy Birthday Bekka!!

Liesa, congrats on paying off your dream vacation! Its official!​

Thanks, Becca!!

Ooooooooooh that's a right friendly idea. I could walk around the Poly double fisting twin Lapus, and see what kind of looks I get!

I hadn't looked at it by a pay per minute standpoint... OUCH!! $3 a minute is pretty steep. Still waffling on the massage!

PIF is a great feeling!

 

[All7OfUs]

Crap.

Well, the most sucky news EVUH came down on me hard this morning, like sleet on a naked back. It was a rather rude slap in the face, and I'm broiling over it!!

Apparently, the pretty reliable news came out that there will be no Halloween parties until the 14th (for you astute ones, that's the day AFTER we leave!) this year.

If you'll recall, we had planned on going to not one, but 2 of these, and had made several ADRs and trip plans AROUND the assumption that these would take place!! Granted nothing is anything until it is officially announced on THEIR site, but the hours reflected what we thought were party nights. Those were 7:00 closings at MK on the 2 nights we had planned to hang out with the macabre and costumed.

I even had told you that just last week, we had decided on our costumes, and to say that I was pretty pumped about getting to go to at least one of these is a pretty colossal understatement. Well, again, nothing is anything until is officially announced, which it hasn't been yet. This is from the DIS (nothing is ever wrong here, right?? ) and Stitches Kingdom. Apparently, this info. also went out to the Travel Agents, which makes it even more depressingly sure.

Crap.

 

[Millie12591]

Sorry sweetie. But it's still WDW! So you can't go wrong there.

 

[All7OfUs]

Sorry sweetie. But it's still WDW! So you can't go wrong there.

You are so right! Just needed a place to vent and lament. Ashes and sackcloth will be donned at any moment.

So, now I have to upgrade my ticket (no big deal), but changing plans is always a big hairy deal and I want to tear my hair out everytime we have to.

 

[englishrose47]

Liessa that is soooo BAD!!! Last year they started before Labor Day as friends of ours went late August and were back by Labor Day and they went !!!!

 

[MKBekka]

I may have to take out a few smilies...

Happy Birthday, Princess Bekka!!!! 17 is a great age to be! Love you, Honey; I'm so proud of you!

Oh, that's worse than having it anounced to everyone on a jumbo-jet 757! (I spent my eighth over the Atlantic, as we moved here to Crappy-stan)

Happy 17th Birthday, Bekka!

Thank you!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEKKA!!!!!!!!!!!




(now be extra nice to mom today)

Hey, it's supposed to be the other way around! (I got off dishes last night you know)

Herzliche Glückwünsche zum Geburtstag Bekka!!​

​

I am sure you will have figured out without problems that this is Happy Birthday in German!

Danke!!! I had one friend say it in blankistani on FB, so that the third language so far!

That's what I was gonna say

haha, she beat you to it! Danke!

Happy Birthday, Bekka. Hope you had a great day.

we didn't have any walnuts in the house, so she couldn't make me my German Chocolate cake. when she asked me what kind I wanted, I was thinking about our dog, I replied "duh, what I always have-German Shepherd!" HA!

Happy Birthday, Bekka!


Kathy

Thanks!! Had a great day!

Happy Birthday Bekka! (It's still officially your birthday on this side of the world.)

Yup! still is, so they all have to treat me special till noon!

Congratulations!! What a blessing ... hope it's the BEST year yet!!

[eandesmom]

well that sucks rat poop.

And that's about all I have to say about that.

WAH!

 

[disneyaddicted]

This trip is shapin up. I haven't followed from the very birth of it, but I have been enjoying the fun and witty banter since I have started reading. I almost feel sick that I am going to miss meeting you ladies, you're a fun bunch.

 

[MKBekka]

Liessa that is soooo BAD!!! Last year they started before Labor Day as friends of ours went late August and were back by Labor Day and they went !!!!

I know... but you know what they say about when you assume. "It makes and *** out of you and me".

AH well, it is what it is. That'll be $120 or so to play with. Any ideas??

well that sucks rat poop.

And that's about all I have to say about that.

WAH!

Exactly my sentiments! This really stinks!!
Maybe there will be enough ire floating through their phone lines to make a certain someone with deciding power to change their (OUT-OF) MIND!
