DDA Chapter 20

[mommykds]

Robyn & Tammi,
Your ADR's looks great. Did you have to wait long to make them? I have read stories on the restaurant board that some people get put on hold for an hour?

I am still working on mine,(I call Sunday). Can't decide if we want to do Citricos/Jiko/Cali Grill. Our problem with "signature" dining is we don't like to go back to the room & I do not want to go into on of those nice restaurants looking like a sweaty wet rat with fuzzy hair. . I am trying to plan a pool day where we hang at the resort & come freshly dressed to any of the 3 I listed...But I know us, I don't think we could spend a whole day NOT in a park....so I am still thinking it out.

Robyn,
How can they have the dining down? I agree with Elizabeth, unacceptable!

Today I was going up the stairs after lunch and my shoe slipped and I managed to jam my baby toe. It is now a real nice blend of black and purple. It really hurts. I cannot tell you how many times I have broken both of my baby toes. So, I am limping around and took a pain pill.

Terry I hope your toe is better today

 

[tinknme]

I knew it was coming but am not at all prepared for it. We have 3 meetings left and then our camping trip. I do not want the year to end on a bad note. Randy and I will be talking to the girls next week.

Oh poor Emma Sorry she is having to deal with this, I do hope you can get it straightened out. Girls can be such witches at times

 

[tinknme]

Haha, this is cute Deb!

 

[tinknme]

Theresa how sad about Josh, I couldn't imagine not being there for my boys

Good luck to all of you making ADR's!

Kelli are you packing yet?

 

[tinknme]

Good morning

It is very foggy here this morning, hopefully the sun will peak out later!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Good morning. We have sun! (but more rain expected later today). TGIF

Same here...

Theresa, that is sad. I am glad your family has stepped up to make Josh feel included.



Robyn, I am so sorry. Do I need to come pull a "Hand that rocks the cradle" on those girls? Because I can. I have 2 weeks off at the end of the month.



ACK!! How can the dining system be down? UNacceptable!!
Hopefully it will come back up SOON so you can get things booked! 90 days is a nightmare.

Our lunch at Puck's is 1 PM Monday, FYI.

Tammi - We will be at AK Sunday, Epcot after the DDA dinner, and MK Saturday morning until we need to go back for Magical Express.

Is it August yet?

Fabulous!! I'll book your plane ticket today. I want to ask Emma again what happened to see if her story is the same as it was last night.

I just tried calling again and the line they are giving is "Global Issues" Umm, no...your IT department is the worse ever.

1pm, huh?

Good Morning!

Leighanna has a field trip today at a farm. It is supposed to rain most of the day. I have a feeling she will be a mess when she gets home. And no... I am not chaperoning THIS ONE!

Sorry to be MIA, but I have been busy with all sorts of stuff and haven't had time to post, let alone read!

Have a great day!

Hopefully the sun will return again soon!

Tom!! I hope Leighanna has fun today and can stay dry!

Yep, I am having to wait MUCH TOO LONG!!!! But not for the reasons the other people have to wait!

Robyn,

Don't they know how important this is?!?!?!?!

 

[PNO4TE]

Terry - for the new computer and for your little toe. I hope it is better this morning.

Robyn - little girls can be so MEAN! I hope this new drama can have its curtain closed very soon and things can move on beyond the pettiness. Poor Em!

 

[PNO4TE]

Also in keeping with Deb's chicken theme...



Bonjour, DDA!

How about morning in a park, afternoon at the pool, showers and then dinner!

Help Stamp out Hunger!

Especially if you need to grocery shop anyway, or have extra non-perishables lying around, it's kind of cool and very convenient. Just leave a bag near your mailbox on Saturday, May 9th before your carrier comes, and the USPS will deliver the goods to local food banks.

We got a postcard for this last year and had never heard of it prior (though it's been happening for years, I hear!). We'll be participating again this year and thought I'd pass along the reminder when we got our card yesterday!

Sounds like a messy, but fun trip! Hope it's not too muddy for them.

Are you not supposed to get the rain that came through here last night? We had fog yesterday afternoon and then a crazy thunderstorm last night. It was beautious, though I could have stood for it to happen a little before I was trying to get to sleep. It's just started rumbling again so I get to enjoy it this time.

We even got a bag with our mail yesterday. I don't remember that ever happening before.

Thanks, I added it to my matrix.

Nicholas was complaining about it this morning. He says he wishes I would have planned the trip sooner, instead of waiting until August. I quickly has to explain that if we went sooner he wouldn't get to see C and Emma. Now he gets it.

I think hold times have improved a bit. When the flippin' system actually WORKS, that it.

We like Citrico's and Cali Grill better than Jiko. In case you were wondering. Definitely Cali Grill for sushi. Citrico's for other food.

Terry I hope your toe is better today

Ditto!

So. Today is pay day. I sat down to do a few bills.
We got DH a Disney Visa because they had a deal where DVC members got $100 gift card with a new account. Great! We have been using it for groceries to get reward $, then paying it off as soon as the transaction posts. Fine.
I told him yesterday to go online and pay it, but he didn't bother. So I logged on to pay it. GUESS WHAT? DH bought ANOTHER FREAKING dSLR CAMERA!!! AND he didn't tell me about it. This makes FOUR, YES, FOUR dSLR cameras in his vast collection. Now, it was a good deal and it is compatible with 2 of his others. BUT that is NOT the point. The point is that he did it behind my back and thought he could hide it. Um, no. I caught him.

He still hasn't managed to sell his Sony system, and I REALLY do NOT think he needs 3 different Olympus models. Grrrr. Damn money pit.

I haven't made mine yet. I call on Monday. I've been hearing about long holds and even longer times once someone picks up. We are going to Citricos from BLT, after a morning at TL.

 

[Tammi67]

Terry I hope your toe is better today

Me too!

Good morning, DDA! Wow, three days in a row that I got online. I'm liking this trend. Makes my day seem so much more normal. The DDA is definitely a much better way to start the day.

Not too much here today. I'm enjoying the lovely thunder rumbles, though at the same time hoping they don't wake the baby who was up way to early this morning and has been a little crabby the last couple of days. We bought a little notepad and some stickers last night to help Terra track our Disney savings. It's part of the incentive for her patience when we do our comp shopping, etc. Today we're going to divide out the various costs and put them in the notebook. Then she'll put little stickers on each time we work, put our week's coins in the box, etc. We've got a pretty good start all ready which I'm happy about.

I'm sorry Elizabeth, but this made me laugh. I would be angry too. I'm sure he was getting around to telling you. NOT!

We are finally having sunshine today!!!!!!
