Good Monday Morning Everyone! :wave:
Wow! 300 plus pages and this thread is still open. Is that some kind of record? :rolleyes1

2 months from today is the TSM party. Woo!!!

I played TSM for the Wii last night. We barrowed it from a friend. I thought it was pretty good. It was a bit confusing to work through the interactive menus, but we eventually figured it out.


Morning Aaron, I think this is a record!
 
Good morning everyone!
Happy Columbus day to all my american friends.
50 day till we are in WDW! :yay::yay::yay:
 
Morning all!

Val & I got to BWV about 7:30 last night. Trudged abut a mile and a half to our room to leave our carry-on's and then decided to head for Epcot for a quick snack at F&W.

After walking back about a mile, we took one of the stairwells (rather than going all the way back to the elevator) down to the boardwalk level and were immediately hit by a wall of humidity. Val's glasses fogged over but fortunately she didn't run into anything before they de-fogged. :goodvibes

Walking along the boardwalk to Epcot we were surprised by how many folks were out there. We also noticed that we were already sweating heavily. :scared1:

Went into Epcot and stopped immediately at the gift shop by IG to pick up a F&W swipe card and then had to face the difficult decision; which way to turn. Should we go right towards France or left towards UK? A decision further hampered by us not knowing just what it was that we wanted to eat first. In the end (all of 30 seconds) we decided to head for escargot. Well, I was going to escargot. Val was going for the short ribs. Oh, and we got the creme brullee and to drink we shared a cosmo slushie. All and all it was very tasty although the slushie could have used more vodka. All together it was $21.25 for our snack.

OK, hunger is abated, now what? We knew that some other DIS'ers were in the park too, but didn't see any DIS stuff (it was dark at this point) and we were pretty hot and tired so we decided we'd just head back to the room. Stopped at the Screen Door to get a package of bagels and look at the watches for a possible christmas present for our daughter to give to her partner. Wound up also picking up a WDW magnetic sticker to go on the new car (which I pick up on Friday!) and a diet coke.

Back in the room, it was time to wrestle with the internet connection (still free for members - wonder how long?) but to no avail. It was taking several minutes just for it to load the splash screen - when it would even go that far. I called the help line but was on hold for a while and I decided I'd just leave it for the morning. It was time for bed. :cloud9:

Sorry we didn't meet up with the other DIS'ers. Hopefully there will be other opportunities before we leave Thursday.
 

So what's new since Thursday afternoon?

Let's see, my vacation started on Friday, I flew to Texas on Sunday and will attend a conference until Thursday noon, then I fly to WDW for 10 days.

You are now caught up with me.
 
Happy Monday everyone. Welcome home George and Deb. Have another Cosmo Slushie for me Jeff. Try not to get over heated.

2 months from today we will be going to tea and then to the DAP party. And at this point I will be recovering from DATW. No early mornings for this trip for me (aside from my early morning flight to GET to WDW)

Everyone have a good week.

Kim
 
Thanks Andrea! You and Vin will love F&W. Right now we only have PCC 2.0 and 6 days after for 2010 but hope to squeeze in F&W if possible. Actually, Deb is going in April on a girls trip so I may be making October 2010 a "me only" trip. :woohoo:

A "me only" trip sounds good to me!! We have been down once for F&W, two years ago, but the first day of F&W was our last full day in WDW and we weren't able to really explore and enjoy it.
 
So what's new since Thursday afternoon?

I'm back home. :sad1:

Thought you disappeared Todd. :scared1: Glad to have you back. :)

Hi Jeff and Val. That was our experience with BWV's in May. They put us way way way way way way way way out at the end of the corridor. :mad: The nice thing is you can walk right to Epcot. Once the glasses de-fog. :) Hot enough for you? :eek:

Glad you enjoyed the Paris kiosk. Have fun today!
 
When we stayed at AKL, it seemed to me that they put us out at the back forty. It took an eternity to get from the lobby to our room!
 
Wow. Over 4600 posts and 300 pages and we're STILL here! :eek:

Good morning everyone! :wave2:

Hi Kim. You do mean, "Sorry you had to come home." don't you? :rotfl2:


Hi Brandie. :wave: I may have missed it. Any news on the face-2-face last week?

A "me only" trip sounds good to me!! We have been down once for F&W, two years ago, but the first day of F&W was our last full day in WDW and we weren't able to really explore and enjoy it.

Sorry to hear you only had one day Andrea. But one day is better than none. :) I wish I could have done later October but my work prevents it. Next year I'm considering the first week of November if it extends out that far. Then I'll be going in November and December. :banana:

Good morning everyone! :wave2:

Hi Dodie! :)
 
Happy Monday All! I have my interview with a marketing staffing firm on Wednesday. I pray they find something else for me like yesterday!

Michelle, I am sorry it did not work out for us to get together while I am here in Dallas. There is always DAP. Visited with my brother tonight in Lewisville. My flight from Atlanta to Dallas was late arriving, since we were 30 late leaving the gate at ATL. Had I known we were going to be that far behind schedule, I would have taken the airline up on the opportunity for a free flight and bumped to the other flight that arrive a few minutes after we did.

I think the rain followed me to Texas.:sad2:
yuck on the delayed flight, but glad you made it safely. It has been rainy here for like 10 days straight. We haven't seen the sun in a while!

It's gonna be one of those days!

ILong story to tell you that we have been battling late night party animals - we have had traps set and last week I had maintenance over several times regarding a smell. I have not been in my office since Thursday.

OMG the smell this morning - yep we caught one!:scared1::scared1::scared1:

Airing my office out now.
Gross!! hope the smell gets better for you and that your busy day is over with quickly!! :thumbsup2

... Lori made a few headware acquisitions for DATW at DAP. Certainly nothing to compete with the original ... just enough to show team membership :dance3:

You are aware that we will no doubt have our own dedicated security detail provided by Disney... I suspect that they will end up acquiring all ste-e-e-eks and several other "unusual" items :scared1:
I am not able to do the DATW, but I am sure i will see plenty of pics on FB or here! can't wait to see what creative things you guys have planned! :wizard:;)

Jeff- hope you and Val have a great day today and hope the humidity lessens a bit. Eat and drink plenty for us!
 
Good Mornin everyone. We had a fun day yesterday. We saw Toy Story and the kiddos loved it. My new mommy friend is a Disney nut like me and she is getting passes so the kids can go together. How fun. Whoo Hooo more Disney and Ethan will have friends to go with to boot.

I introduced the new mommies to the DIS. So hopefully they will come over and join our gang.

Still hot. Crazy hot down here. It is gonna break from 92 to 86 on Saturday. Hopefully before the buddy walk for Ferris.
 
Maybe we aren't shut down yet because they are busy finalizing the plans for DAP? :goodvibes:thumbsup2
 
Happy Monday!

Busy weekend here.

Madi had a slumber party for her birthday. We had friends from out of town in. Went to two soccer games in the FREEZING cold weather, but at least the snow stopped. Went to my dad's house. Had family pictures. Went and bought two rats :( :( :( Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!!!

Hey Tracey...... It's Lori (this time!)

Remind me at the buddy walk to talk to you about getting together in Louisville, if our schedules coordinate. I'm looking at heading home to visit my Grandpa in rehab (the physical kind, not the boozey kind) in November and figured if we could manage it maybe we could meet up......if my other family doesn't drive me nuts first...... I am apparently related to martyrs....every one of them....:rolleyes1


I figured if I try to remember and you try to help me remember, then I MIGHT remember to talk to you about it!;)


This cruise is not coming fast enough!:headache:

They are like very thin bread. :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:
