Much. Thank you.

So I was in a fowl mood all day today. Someone at work said something to me yesterday that just set me off. She isn't really a friend so I shouldn't care what she said. We have mutual friends and often have lunch together. I really need to just get over it. So I stopped at the liquor store on the way home and now I can't see my monitor with my glasses on or off.

At lunch I did some number crunching and have determined that the DDP will actually work well for Joe & I. My DDE expires 2/28/09 and you have to spend $300 to break even on that. I can get DDP for about $350 so that seems like the way to go. I've got (or will change to) booked Boma dinner, Narcoosees, California Grill, Mama Melrose Fantasmic pkg, and San Angel for Cinco de Mayo. So when I added up those meals it was close to $300 so the DDP would also give up 2 snacks a day and 2 CS meals a day. And using the TS points on 2 signature meals will mean I won't feel like all we are doing is dining. I think it will work nicely for us. I'll pay OOP for CP for breakfast. My coworker who's going with us to that one meal has DDE so that works out nicely too.

What time of day was that?

Here's my main street shot.

I just checked. It was a Saturday at 6:12p.m.
This was our only day we had free for Spectro. We were scared of the crowds though!
Here is a look the other way a few minutes later!

I NEVER saw any part of a park on our whole visit, early or late look like your photo though!

Bernadette - Sounds like your May trip is coming together!
Sorry about your rude co-worker!

We did the BBB look in our room. I think it still looked pretty good!

This is just a small sampling! I still have two more memory cards to upload and go through.
And I still have my PhotoPass to enter in yet!

She is such a cutie, Tom!

Leighanna also got picked to be in the FOTL show. I think the Zebra liked her outfit!

Thanks!

I don't feel bad about missing Spectro now! My photo was taken about 7:50am on a non EMH day.

Thanks! Part of me feels like I shouldn't let her get away with saying it and part of me knows that anything I say will just make things worse.

She said I must be a trust fund baby to be able to afford all my WDW trips. Dumping on me because I go to WDW is one thing but the trust fund baby thing is really insulting. My Dad died when I was 6. I got a paper route when I was 11 and started working at 14. DH & I have made lots of frugal choices-we don't go out to eat, rarely get take out, don't drink much (I probably bought my 2nd 6 pack tonight in about 3 or 4 years), don't smoke, don't have too many fancy toys (uh....Nikon and sewing machine are new vices....).....anyways the trust fund thing implies I've never worked for anything, don't appreciate what I have or others that don't have. It really touched a nerve with me. I didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch today. Maybe I'll skip tomorrow too and Monday is a holiday.

Yes but that wasn't nearly enough! LOVED all your photos! What did you think of Pop?

Sounds like a fun night! I hope you can get past whatever it was.

Sounds like it was said in a fit of jealousy. You know the truth of the matter, and it doesn't matter if she knows it or not. Try not to let it bother you too much.

Looks like Dec. crowds

Not like Christmas week crowds... there is room between those people in Tom's photo!

 

[MinnieMouseMom]

Wonderful pics, Tom!

I don't think we will ever stay there again. I should say you couldn't pay my wife enough money to ever set foot there again. The resort was nice enough, but what we found in our room on our last day as we were packing up, sickened us to the point that we will never stay there again.
All I can say is that housekeeping is VERY poor, and our room was not properly cleaned prior to us getting there. Actually, during our whole stay, we felt the room was not properly cleaned. We didn't complain though, because usually we were so tired from a long day at the parks, all we wanted to do was lay down and crash. Unfortunately, we didn't discover how true that was until our last day there.

Does anyone know who or where I would write to. We really need to voice our complaint to someone other than who we did. They did nothing, but apologize and send us on our way. They even stated that POP was rated the number 2 resort in the country and number 4 in the world. I found that hard to believe considering all the other resorts that are out there, Disney or not!

If anyone is curious about what I am referring to you can PM me. I don't want to hurt any of the POP lovers out there!
