Awesome pics stopher!


Batmanning accomplished. Beat up some thugs, protected some innocents, interrogated some informants, detected some clues, all and all a good night. Now off to bed.

Even the World's Greatest Detective needs to sleep sometimes.

Good morning men

First round is on me!

We have evidence you said this!

I think I may have stumbled into my favorite disboard forum....

Have lurked for years on the main trip and planning forums, but never made my way in here until very recently... Lots of laughs so far.

And I am sure I meet at the criteria to fit in!

Welcome

One, I look forward to my number... Kind of exciting...
Two, I like to pester Yankees fans ALMOST as much as I like pestering Cowboys fans....

Forgot what I said above Peanut Butter Sox fans

Even the Dark Side Jedi's are Dads.

Yes we are . I love it!

I think we have Tag envy!!

Yes, I do

Hello everyone! Haven't been on in a very long time!!

But I wanted to voice my opinion on the new dining plan pricing!! Gaaaaaaah!

I have been pricing out my family of three teens and two adults and impulsively booked the grand Floridian, two rooms deluxe dining and park tickets with hopper. I then sat around thinking about the price. Gaaaaah! Broke out the ole calculator and a piece of paper. (I know, I know, primitive) Priced out each item then realised I am paying $3580.80 so that we can eat for 8 days! That's at least 2 months of food in in my house! The price per person... $89.52! I am not going to spend $90 in food a day per person, with "anti-table service" teens. The average cost of a table service meal is $30 per person along with at least an hour waiting and eating in said restaraunts. In my opinion soo not worth the $$$$$. I spoke with my wife and this is what we came up with.

Bay lake tower 1 bd villa, 8 day park hopper, regular dining $9217.30

What I had booked
Two rooms grand floridian 8 day park hopper, deluxe dining $13025.80

I switched to bay lake tower and changed to regular dining saving almost $4000! That is a lot if cash. The difference in price for the dining plan is $1538.20!

Come on really??? Is Disney trying to justify eliminating the dining plan due to lack of people purchasing the plan? They really should get rid of the "save up to" statement in their description.

I really had a hard time convincing the wife to allow me to switch from deluxe dining to the regular dining (although at $51.07 per person per day is not saving either. She likes the peace of mind of having the food paid for) I think that is what they are betting on.
END OF RANT!!

Bay lake towers benefits 1 bd villa

800 sq ft
On the monorail
Fairly new
Full kitchen I love the normal size fridge and the full size coffee pot!
Two bathrooms
Separate bedroom
Exclusive pool with slide
They say you can walk to MK (we have done it and I find it to be a LOOONG walk at the end of a LOOONG day)


What is your opinion on all or some of this?

If you read that good for you!!! I know, we are shot!

I'm so excited to go to Aulani in a couple of weeks.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do while there yet - but I don't care. I'm going to Hawaii.

Plus it is a write off!

I also can't wait to go to Disneyland after Hawaii. I'll be stopping over in LA for a few days before flying home, and staying at VGC. I can't wait to go back!

Now you are just rubbing it in.

Hi guys, is this the insomniac support group?

I'm not. I've had a cold for about a week now and it has been about that long since I've actually had a good night of sleep. NyQuil usually helps for the first 2 or 3 nights, but after that I think my system becomes used to it and it really has no effect. I should lay down and give it another try... 2:30 - 3:00 has been about when I've finally crashed the past couple of nights.

Wait till you have a newborn back in the house....

Kinda looks like the backside of water..

I don't care what the haters of the DDC say, that is awesome!!!!!

What is your opinion on all or some of this?

Hey Carl.... I have an opinion but I'm trying to type with one hand holding the baby. I will comment when I get My other arm back.
(it took me 10 min to type this )

To keep the promise I made to my nemesis Carl, if this thread was not given the name he wanted, which it didn't, I would start the thread closing on this one.

The way we are filling pages it looks like we Have started.

But to be official,

I Declare the RACE to the Finish Started!
