[Chris the CPA]

Morning guys. What a Monday. DW had me up early calling to get a reservation for Be Our Guest. Finally got one for the Christmas vacation after 3 hours.

Good job...I was wondering how their systems were going to handle it today..

Afternoon guys!!

We checked out of ASMu al and all for the money not a bad resort, the pool area was nice the rooms were pretty good and transportation was not terrible. The only complaint is .....we had breakfast in the food court and it was ........meh. Food was just barely warm and pretty tasteless, I guess to be expected but for what they are charging you would think thy would try a little harder. Overall I give this resort a 7.5/10

We also just checked in to Saratoga Springs, we rented points from the Timeshare store and everything was very seamless. Rooms are beautiful, we are on the first level, which is nice because our car is literally parked fifty steps away from our room. We have to get used to the towel and maid service but so far really enjoying it.

Any pointers on where to eat here from you DVC vets?

Just got a text from Brian...

"Barry and I are about to ride Space Mountain"

I told him to make sure that he sits in front of Barry - I heard that he farts when he gets excited.

I think it's awesome I can now view the boards at work on my phone so I should be posting more during lunch , I use to live in Orlando when I went to school or collage, I miss it, would like to move back but I know it would be hard on my parents not seeing my DD , right now we live 5 min from them I could only imagine a plane ride distance for them

I was wondering how the reservations today would be, next trip planning will start with when we can get an ADR

For our next trip, I gotta wait till April to make my ADRs...so I've got time

Nope, make that February.

Just realized, we finally made it under the 1-year-to-go mark.

Too bad I must let reality intrude, guess I should head off to work. Have a great day Dads....

Chris, did you give them your credit card number? If not, you need to call back and have it added to your reservation, or they may cancel it. I didn't get asked for it. I'm now trying to call in to have it added.

We had lunch at The Artist's Palette one time (by the lobby there at SSR) and found it to be a great experience. DW highly recommends it

Thanks for the heads up but we must have been living right (probably not me) but the DW did reserve with our credit card. Not sure if she saw it on the boards or if the agent asked for it.

Looks nice. Never been, but have heard great things.

Haven't caught up yet.... But a quick pic

Most other pics on camera or photopass... This was one of a small few taken with the phone.

Met with Barry today, had a dole whip, and then Chris joined us a few mins later.

Seth is having some stomach probs. musta eaten something that didn't agree. But is trying to be a trooper.

Nice job on the meet-up! Hope the Dole Whip isn't causing the problems.

Oh, and in case you were wondering... Child protection and all... Ryder's father said it was ok for me to post the above pic, and he said Barry could hold him in the pic.

Seriously though, was great to meet up with the whole rafiki clan and extended clan.

 

[that's nice]

Who are you talking to?

No one...

Just got back from EMH, still pretty busy, longest wait was 20 min everything else was 5-10. We had a great night but I am officially baked! Time for bed.
The new Disney app is very accurate on wait times, what is posted is on the app, pretty handy and the free wifi in MK was not bad at all.

Hope you are having a great time!!!!

Hope everything's ok Tim.

Oh, and I received the check from you... now just to clearify was it Barry's Left Knee or Right Knee I was supposed to smash out with the lead pipe when I see him Monday?
The lengths that people'll go to, to win a race....

Whichever knee is closer to you at the time.

I AM GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!

Have a great trip!!!

I read it. Summer is your busy time, isn't it?

Yea... plus I am entertaining 2 kids from morning to night when I'm not working.

I think you left out the detail about your daily runs...

yea... running too.

Hi Tim! Hope things get better/slow down for you soon.

Thanks... I would just take DS going back to sleeping through the night. I was up with him last night from 1-2:30. I'm shot.

Congrats on ownage and post count. Now, go drive over to Tim's house and get him to draft. Grrrrrr

Sorry about that. I left for work at 11am and I never received a text. I don't think my confirmation/activation went through the first time. Made my second pick when I got home from work at 1:40am.

A year is still cool. It's been a long year for us, but October is close.

Whats up crew? Just popped on to see whats going on? I need another HD for the macbook pro, maybe swapping out the superdrive for a HDD replacement.

Didn't care for it. I like bacon, caramel, and ice cream, but not a good mix.

Owning at SSR, we've been there a few times. Ok food, but not a big of the location set up right next to gift store. Gets s a little crowded. Really liked the Turf Club TS.

So that's the phone Barry's been texting me from....
