DIS Dads DDC XXX: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike, What Day Is It Mike?

[that's nice]

Has anyone been following touringplans.com lately? The projections for my trip (Dec 15-20) have changed completely. Some days that were 7s and 8s at AK are now 2s and 3s. Some MK days have jumped 2 or 3 points. The overall levels have changed a bit as well. The projections now appear to be rounded to the nearest whole number as opposed to taken out to the first decimal place. The whole thing seems a lot less precise and the changes have really thrown a wrench in to my plans. I "track" those days and I didn't get an e-mail about the changes.

Touring plans (and other sites like it) are having a tough time figuring out what impact FP+ is having on wait times. The crowd calendar is based on projected waits. This October they were way off on projections and they are probably adjusting their numbers due to the new 'normal' and the whole FP+ issue.

Trade approved!

Congratulations on exchanging meh for bleh.

Says the guy who just tied it up at the top of the division. It didn't even matter that Marshawn Lynch and SEA K (they don't really have names do they?) didn't do anything. I had already put up 178 pts before that. And that's after having lost starting WR's for the season on consecutive weeks.

Wait, where's the that knock on wood emoticon?

Well, don't let Darcy under your wife's blanket, Mark!

Cool. It'll be early Sunday morning, and the boy will be asleep in the car, so I won't be able to stop, but I'll leave the rear door open, and slow down a bit. You should be able to run and jump in.

Sounds good. I'll practice jumping into moving cars between now and then.

The old Dutch oven". Anyone have an emoticon with that?

I noticed fast pass lines being longer in a lot of cases. This in turn makes the stand by lines longer. Not sure how the whole thing will shake out but I really liked using the bands and the app.

Evening guys, been busy last couple of days, been overhauling the beer section (again), grabbing anything quality/craft beer I can get my hands on. Also gettting space prepped up for (ready for it, ready...)

Christmas Gift Packs
Our first shipment arrives next Monday night. Some decent beers coming our way, including the malty, strong ales I have a weakness for. Just in time for cold weather.

Leafs looked good tonight, will have to put some effort into rubbing it in on an Oilers fan/buddy

Werre you able to still use the orginal FPs? Did you still get a KTTW card?

Hopefully you took the crowds home with you.

Like Tim said, I think they are having a rough time figuring out how this is affecting FP and standby times. There are still a lot of quirks and glitches happening it is making it tough on them. Len mentioned that in one of the WDWToday pods. Kinda sounded a bit worried that they didn't know what all was going to change and how it was going to change. Sounded like they are scrambling a bit.

and the rest of the day to you sir.

Congrats on keeping it short. I've been to too many presentations that were death by a thousand Powerpoint slides.

I can't be the only one who likes the Christmas stuff out am I?

I have listened to Christmas music on and off since about June (might have been earlier). And that is for 2 reasons. 1 - I like it. 2 - It drives my coworker nuts and keeps most people out of my office. So it stays nice and quiet.

Au contraire. Christmas decorations are out at my house the day after Thsnksgiving and get put up before New Year's Day.

Stuff I sell makes an impact in everyday lives too..

Ah, but Christmas is usually the time the "good stuff" comes out. Lots of stuff we normally never bring in etc. Good time to be a beer lover.

I love my Christmas music, it'll go on the ipod soon enough. I admit it was jarring last month to hear a Christmas song on the in-store music set, caused a minor uproar, it got on there by accident(and was fixed quick). Hearing it doesn;t bother me. I read that Mick Foley listens to it 365 days a year.

But even better if it makes co-workers leave you alone, I need more of that.



I also admit, I 'm gettting the Disney withdrawl bad now, only took two minths. What kills me is seeing all the new trips booked. No idea when we'll get there again, Likely October 2015 as it stands

I like to enjoy the Christmas decorations, but I wait until the day after Thanksgiving before I put anything up. That feels like the start of the season to me.

I'm in the same boat. No idea when we'll get back there. My wife and I were going to go down next year, just the two of us, to celebrate our 40th birthdays. And then baby happened...
