DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[insoin]

Well everyone, I have had a busy last week and all kinds of things have been going on for me. I have some bad news regarding my vacation. I was going down this Dec for a very long vacation with the family however; a few things have caused an adjustment to that.

My sister who was going with us has basically been laid off her job, which means she cant really afford to pay for a big vacation now. So I have had to canel part of my trip. Since she was paying for half of it, there is no way I can asorb the part she can't pay. See I'm trying to buy a new house and I jsut dont have the spare money to make up what she can't pay on the vacation.

However; with that being said, we can still do the DAP part of the trip. Or so it seems so far. So I will not be down at WDW nearly as long, going from a 18 day vacation down to only six days. But six days in Disney is better than none right?

Does anyone know how cancelling part of a vacation can actually make you sick to your stomach and sad? Well I do now for sure. But I'm keeping a positive attitude and hoping that things dont get to tight and I can't even make DAP.

It's right outside the International Gateway next to the Beach Club. In and out, no problem.

You're lucky it's right outside of Epcot...shouldn't hinder my park time too much then...

Awwww


Well, I'm back! Had a great trip to NYC and its crunch time now at work. School starts in under 2 weeks and we have about 300 machine to install. Teachers and other staff are starting to arrive and get ready for the year, so my phone is ringing off the hook.

I'll try to keep up, but I might be MIA a bit

Hi yourself nut job.

Good morning everyone.

Is anyone (DVC members) going to the DVC Merry Mixer on Friday the 11th. It's 3:00 to 5:00 or close to it and a perfect time fill right before DATW. I've heard these can be meh. Not sure I'd put it on the spreadsheet just yet.

Do you know where it is being held?
We just bought our DVC last December, so have never been to anything like this. Sounds interesting though.

Never mind I see where it is going to be!

Sorry to hear about your trip being shortened. 6 days is still a long time at walt disney world. I recently just had a trip canceled to the bahamas sometimes when things like that happen you just have to make the best of it, it usually winds out working out somehow

best of luck to you and make the most of those 6 days at wdw

I do so hope that you are still able to come, because as you said, six is better than nothing.

Heck, I'm only there for 5......

YAY!! Your going for 6 days, and will be there for DAP!

Yep, I know how that feels...I had this happen regarding a camper we were going to buy last month. I have spent 3 years trying to convince DH to get one, I finally got him to admit he wanted one and we picked one out, hemmed and hawed about it for 5 days, finally called them and got the cashiers check and everything, and when we went to get it, it had just left not an hour before. Now he's back to the "well, do we really need one?" Ugh. I was distraught for days. Hmm, looking back, that's about the time he agreed to let me come to DAP solo...

 

[exwdwcm]

Good morning DISers!! it is bright and sunny here in DFW. work isn't quite as crazy as yesterday, but still a little insane.

Insoin- sorry to hear about having to cancel part of your vacation. 6 days is still something though and more than a lot of folks get. But i know that isn't much comfort when you had expected so much more. Just focus on the great 6 days you will have and maybe look forward to a future trip next year or PCC 2.0?

welcome back Don- glad NYC was fun! you guys still aren't in school yet? We started this week.

We are thinking about doing a pedi at the GF spa, has anyone been- is that the best spa to do? We've considered massages too, but not sure yet. We are staying at WL and I know they have a spa with limited treatments.

okay, back to DIS Radio and the dreaded work. I'd much rather DIS.

 

[Minnie Lor]

Good morning to my new Dis Friends!​

I stayed up til 2 am reading a book. Not a best seller or anything just a book. I haven't done that in awhile.

It's a beautiful 72 degrees this morning with sunshine and very few puffy clouds.

I'm looking forward to podcast (wish we could chat while they were taping) and then chat tonight.

I've been getting my Disney excitement pumped up a notch the last two nights by watching Wishes! via a live web cam from BLT. Love technology and DSL wireless.

Thanks to everyone, I'm still excited about DAP and the six days I will have so it's all good. The worst part is my sister and her job situation. She has not been laid off yet, but she is down to less than 20 hours a week if that. So I hope things turn around before she has no job at all.

And one good thing is I will take the money I already put down on the first art of the trip, it was two seperate bookings cause of how long I was going, and will be able to use that money for the house I'm trying to buy.

 

[georgemoe]

George- I have not heard of this before but if it does indeed fit in, Kim and I might go too. I have been to similar things and there are always DVC goodies to take home.

I wasn't aware of this, might be able to fit it in. Where is it being held?

See Jen's response below for location. Thanks Jen!

Ooh, I've been to a Merry Mixer! It was nice. I just stopped in for a few minutes for some cookies and drinks and the FREE GIFT (Christmas ornament).

Brandie - Put it on the spreadsheet!

Where is the Merry Mixer going to be?

And you do realize that this will cut into MY park time, right?

It's right outside the International Gateway next to the Beach Club. In and out, no problem.

Morning DIS-a-Palooza friends!! Can you bring a guest???? Kinda like we did on Castaway Cay for the pins?

I'm sure we can work something out Todd.

I just had a pedicure at the GF Spa on my trip earlier this month. The spa was very nice and so was the woman who did my treatment. I had my pedicure on August 1st and it still looks great. Jaime (tiggerbell) also had a pedicure there with friends earlier this year and it sounded like they enjoyed themselves.

 

[baby1disney]

Good Morning everyone!!

I have some good news: My friend who was in the car wreck is doing alot better. Looks like he'll be out sometime this weekend or early next week.

Now...for the responses I've gotten:

It's funny how everyone starts out saying "please don't take offense to this" or "I'm not trying to be mean" and just come out and say what you say. You guys say I'm looking for attention and things. Well...why is it when certain people post about their day, problems in their life, someone dying on here, everyone else can respond and say how sorry they are and it's fine?!? But, if I do it..I'm looking for attention?!?? I just don't get it.

As far as the DAP thing, I've never booked a trip on my own, takin a flight, made ADR's, etc on my own. My in-laws are DVC owners...so all I ever have to do is come along. Everything is already done. If I ask questions, it's because I don't know or maybe I have researched it and I just don't understand something and everyone here..or at least it seems...to think that I'm being back and forth. Just because I may write it out how I feel doesn't mean that I'm wishy-washy. I'm sure alot of you go back and forth everyday with certain decisions/issues in your life. DO you post it?? Maybe..maybe not. But, I wouldn't call you wishy-washy.

It just seems like since this IS such a close, knit group of people..whether it be online and/or in person, some things are ok if it's one of you, but not someone new. This group can be a very intimitdating sometimes and yes...I can get overwhelmed by that. And I'm sure that none of mean to do that on purpose...just like I don't intend on being a pest on purpose.

So...I will take a different approach from now on on how I present myself to the group and what I say. I didn't realize some of things that I have said/done has been upsetting people. So...I once again apologize for my behavior. I will work hard to watch what I say and how I say it.

This post in no means, whatsoever, is a pity post. It's simply me responding back to what has been said to me in general. It seems like alot of you feel the same way as some of these posts and I'm sincerely offering my apologies. I will also watch my expressions with "LMAO" or things like that.

I hope everyone has a good morning/day/night and I will post if I know more about my friend and/or grandmother. To those who gave their condolences, thank you again.

Now...on to better topics...

Nikki~ You remind me of a techer I had in high school and did things like that all over her room!! It was soo uplifting to see that when either I entered or lfet her class for that day. I'm sure alot of your kids will feel the same way!! We need more teachers like you that care about the kids and the education..and possibly a lil more than that!! And you seem to be that Teacher!! Kudos!!

Thanks Kim- i think we will book GF for pedis!

Insoin- yes, good thoughts for your sister and her job situation. but good news on applying the money towards the house instead.

Baby- i think you are off to a better start already with that post. glad your friend is doing much better. it's sad that people still think it is okay to get plastered and drive and take other people's lives in their hands.

so- good news. I've complained about my job here many a times and it has not gotten better. I mentioned the whole thing where they were taking my 401K money out of my check, yet it was not appearing in my 401K account. yeah. totally illegal. My direct deposit has been late many times in the last few months. this is a small family run business that struggled this summer, and i know there was some accounting 'juggling' going on to move money around to pay bills. i guess my 401K $$ was part of that. so wrong. they've promised it will be in there on the next statement. I haven't taken legal action and won't unless it doesn't get put back, it is not worth the headache of legal action if in the end i get it back.

well the good news is i have a job interview somewhere else!!!!!! and it looks pretty positive- they are letting me skip the phone screen and go straight to in person interview. It is close to home, is a large corporation with great benefits (and tremendous growth) and they make deep brain stimulation devices that really make a difference in peoeple's lives, like those with parkinson's. anyhow- wish me luck. i really need to get out of this job- it is totally dragging me down in all aspects of my life!

Most excellent news Michelle! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you...i'm still looking for a job...i've given up on finding the perfect job and will settle for just a job...
