DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

The leather sofa was the best purchase ever for a family with lots of dogs and a toddler.

YUP! My youngest (kid, not dog) was a spitter so the leather sofa was the best investment. It's starting to look its age, though and I've had my eye on this really nice taupe suede sectional at Pottery Barn. But with 2 kids and 2 beagles I guess I'll have to be content just visiting it at the mall every so often.

Does anyone have any idea how much time I should allow for slow boat from Epcot to DHS on the evening of the party?

Hey, the sun came out!

My favorite game show was Betty White's Just Men.

LOVED that show! I had a huge crush on Steve Sax when I was in HS (2nd baseman for the Dodgers) and he was a frequent guest on the show.

If I were ship something to the resort, how far in advance should I ship it there?

I shipped a package to POFQ a week before we went down, (UPS) and it got there within 2-3 days. When we went to pick it up they couldn't find it, I think we may have sent it TOO early. Maybe 4-5 days before?

Hey, the sun came out!

what is this *sun* thing to which you refer?

 

[Minnie Lor]

Hey, the sun came out!

Us too. Hadn't seen it in awhile. Looked very weird in my house at 7:30. I could actually see without any lights on. I really was like "what's going on?"

My favorite game show host thing ever was actually from a movie. It was European Vacation with Chevy Chase...the host for the game show the Griswolds were on was hilarious! Kissing on the women like that...that has to be one of the best movies ever...

That was classic!!! The Griswold's were on "Pig and a Poke" game show. The host was John Astin who played Gomez on the Addams Family.

My guess would be 45 minutes - depending on who you are, you can walk it faster.

You and I may be the only people in the world who remember this show - I don't even think Betty White remembers it!

Yeah - it's a shock to see this bright yellow light coming from the sky.

You're asking us for practical trip planning advice?

well....yeah.

 

[Minnie Lor]

well....yeah.

Did you see my post? I ship almost everytime.

I have found that it takes the same amount of time to walk as ride the boat. 30 minutes-ish...assuming there aren't a bazillion people embarking/disembarking at each stop.

Yeah, I can walk faster but love to give my footies a break. We're going commando for 7 days. I need every bit of break I can get. I also love taking the various Disney transportation. It add's to the whole experience.

We used to swear by the B&C burgers, rating them the best on property. Then we found the Dolphin Fountain. Better by far.



Another candidate is the new Sum of All Thrills. Val & I went by it yesterday just to see it and there's no way I'm doing that. Don't know how Kathy did it. Interesting to watch the whole thing work.

Hmmmm. I think that's a challenge!

I can't wait to try Sum of All Thrills!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to pop in this morning before I head to the parks. I am going to DHS first this morning and then to MK this afternoon. Dining at Whispering Canyon tonight. I have done lunch there before but I want to see the show. They don't do the show during lunch.

Have a great day Tracey!

 

[Minnie Lor]

Oops, the guy that signs my check is in the area. Be back later.

 

[AnneR]

well....yeah.

Lorie gave you better advice than I could.

I am still trying to decide if I want to try and find some shiny baubles to share.

I was also going to suggest walking - especially after seeing the menu for the TSM party!

I am spending my day doing laundry and packing up summer clothes. I am coming to accept the fact that if I don't live in Florida it's going to be cold. So rats, my summer things go in a box. On a plus or minus note, depending on how you look at it, I pulled out my winter clothes, which I hadn't done in three years (b/c we lived in Florida) and they are too big! So luckily, when my mom was here this past week we went to JCPenney's and shopped on her associate discount. YAY! My oldest DS had no winter wear to speak of, so he got new clothes, too. Did you all know that they have plus sizes in the little girls department? I did not. I got a new winter jacket there that you can wear four different ways. I liked the plus sizes over there. They allowed for my "baby hips". I refuse to pack up my capris as I don't intend on staying away from WDW. I will need them there!

No I hadn't I missed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Depends on your method of shipping. Also the resorts will hold packages for 2 weeks but I don't like to push it. I usuall aim for a day or two before I arrive. I think you can figure it out on UPS site.

Don't forget to put your resort address along with "hold for Todd ____ arriving _______"

Tricky caveat. What if the room is not in my name?
