[jenbear123]

It took us 4 hours to get home from Buffalo last night I'm so sad we couldn't stay for dinner. Sounds like everyone had a blast! It was great meeting you finally face-to-face. Hope we can do it again sometime

 

[Circusgirl]

Happy to hear about everybody rockin' out, especially Liesa with her fabulous, incredible new hair! It is amazing that this is all now happening after so long in anticipation.

I'm in Pennysylvania right now, helping out with my aunt who had a severe stroke this year. I'm excited and counting down to my arrival in Orlando, especially now that I can say it's next week!

It looks MUCH better!! A lot more "cooler" days - not as many above 110F for heat indicies!




Tropical Forecast:

Hurricane Earl is now a Major Hurricane (Cat 3) and is going who knows where...It keeps going West of what the last track was, so the upper East Coast should keep an eye on this. And the only thing I would think would effect our trip would be Liesa's flight to get there - but hopefully won't! And I really hope it stays away from the coast altogether - but honestly, after watching Earl for a few days, he keeps staying to the west of where he is supposed to be.

There was a model yesterday that put Fiona - who has not been named yet - hitting the middle of Florida as a very strong hurricane in about 10 days - but now Fiona seems to have started to fizzle out. I am hoping Earl is so strong that he just absorbs her.

So that is about it for now!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Love the new hair!

 

[brookelizabeth]

That weather IS looking better!

Earl is freaking me out though! I'm in NY....STAY AWAY EARL!!!!!!! I don't want a flight delay for Liesa or myself on September 2.

And Fiona better go out and visit the fish! Though...if she does come to Florida, 10 days is our departure...and that would mean we might get stuck at Disney for an extra day....

 

[MeMom]

MeMom, please send me the details on the meet. I am only two hours from Atlanta. Not sure I can make it, but it is very possible.

Thanks!

We're thinking around noon on Saturday at a mall, but the mall has not been defined. It will be one with a Disney Store, and it could possibly be the Mall of Georgia? I think that's the one Dawn (punkin413) said was closest to her, and since she's pregnant and almost due, we're planning to try to accomodate her being able to come.

So far, we have:
MeMom, Brooklynsmommy, Brooklynn, and Bella
punkin413
hlrababy, Hollie, new baby Hannah, and maybe husband Chad
cherokeemomma and family
Charleston Princess and family
reelmom and family

I know I am leaving some out, but I am school right now and just thinking off the top of my head.

The plan is to meet at the food court, so everyone can get the kind of food they want and the little ones can have the option to move around a little. Then some of us are going to the Disney Store, which is very exciting for those of us who had all three of our Disney Stores taken away!!!

Where in NY are you? Yeah...I am going to keep watching Earl.

I won't post this picture....but here is one model (GFS) still frame for 5 days from now - still offshore, but right at NY?

I guess it could be good they are predicting that, since they are often wrong that far out.

I think Fiona is going to be absorbed by Earl? Which is changed from yesterday.

A report on the D.C. Meet is up on my thread. You can see it here

 

[maroo]

Oh my gosh!

I am in tears! It looks like you guys had so much fun!!!

Thank you for posting your pics.

It makes me so excited for our trip!!!!

Aw. We only had a few hours -- you guys are going to have a blast, being together for a few days!

New York City. Right on the water, of course!

My husband just sent me this one:

He is supposed to fly out Friday (the day after Henry and I).



I am not freaking out about it, but I sure won't like it! Do you have any idea if airlines ever change your tickets due to this sorta thing? If his work was okay with him taking an extra day, would the airline change his ticket to Thursday for free due to pending weather?

I won't go down that path until we are a bit closer to departure. Hopefully they are WRONG about it and Earl changes course.

Liesa, I thought you might be interested in the fact that Restorantosaurus at AK has a new menu which now includes a Shrimp Poboy (you might know what this is, I have no clue!) and a grilled vegetable sub served with sweet potato fries. I thought that this restaurant was so much fun and it is air conditioned. So perhaps it might give you and additional CS option at AK!

Yes I noticed the daily forecast was a better.

As of 5pm Fiona is now a tropical storm. I am worried too that Earl keeps stepping left. He needs to quit that and the whatever system is supposed to steer him north needs to get in place. We do not need a mess along the east coast right now!

It looked like Fiona was fizzling out but she was just getting her act together.


Maroo, did you think when we both guessed Fiona they would be forming 1,2,3?

No, you probably just beat others to it.

Magdalene - where did you see/hear about this? AllEars and WDWinfo both still have the old menu. I'm VERY interested - I like air conditioning and am sick of Pizzafari.
