DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

big hugs Nikki, hope today is much much better.

i had a bad few weeks too- job i intereviewed for on Friday, didn't get. don't post on FB about it please though, don't want the employer seeing anything about me interviewing. anyhow, that was a bummer. had our big sales meeting last few days, more of a beatdown at work. then i am taking friday off and was told i was taking too many unearned days. well how do they know? they don't have an HR manual, PTO policy or anything- heck, they don't even track PTO or days off on our paychecks even. remind me to never work for a small company again. i need all that structure i used to have in a large corporation. i reminded him i negotiated 3 weeks vacay when i was hired and i have not even used all of that yet, and this week is a year i have been here. my DAP 7 days off i need will be into next year's PTO. anyways, another thing to set me off. maybe they will fire me. i can only hope.

I would assume that the TSM 2.0 event would start shortly after park closing, since they said they are going to 'escort' us to the back of the park. since the park closes at 8pm, i bet they will have us escorted sometime shortly after that. knowing how well they plan and put on these events, i doubt they will have a big gap where we have to wait or something.

Sorry to hear about the job. I know you really wanted it.

Morning all!!! Sounds like computer issues are all around, George. According to our IT guy, our server crashed around 0500 today. Thankfully it has not been a total system melt down like yesterday. Another fun and enjoyable day. Yippie.

To be a little more on topic, how was chat last night? I was there around 8, but then I got to leave work, so I went home!

I am not sure about the Gospel Brunch. George's mention of a possible recording on Friday has been in my head since I've read it.

Hey Todd. They are reducing the cost of IT support at work so getting updates is a real pain. Remote access issues are handled via CHAT only. I can't talk to anyone!

Chat was fun but no new DAP or 2.0 information. Kevin and Teresa were there. They talked about snacks, tattoos, and around 10pm it started to get adult orientated.

I'm interested in Gospel Brunch and Fulton's but they are both tentative right now. The only reason I mention Friday for the recording is because if it were me, I'd rather do it Friday than have to set up, etc; after a long TSM Meet the night before.

Do you have a crush on Vanessa Williams???

Hi Terrie. I'm looking forward to seeing Vanessa Williams perform and you see it as a crush? I'm the one who should be rolling their eyes.

I will pop in from time to time...will be busy baking today! My goal is to have everything for this meet done tonight/tomorrow morning. That way once Tonya gets here, I can go play!

Behave kiddies!

You can mail cupcakes you know!

If I could figure out a way to ship cupcakes, I would be rich...trust me...i've tried...

Good Morning everyone!!! I was at a conference yesterday and it was AWESOME!!! I haven't felt this good about myself and the work I do in a long time!! I actually cried yesterday a few times!! But..I'm back

Ok...I have a question: Is there any difference in pricing/quotes when you use a TA vs. doing it yourself?? I just wanted to know that. A friend is thinking about coming with me and I told her that I'd ask that question for her.

Also...have I missed anything important from yesterday?? I don't have the time to go and read all the pages...I think when I last read it we were on page 198/199

The price should be the same, unless the TA is charging for their services (Dreams does not).

If you would like to try again, Texas would be happy to be a shipping test market! I heard so much about your fantastic cakes. What kind of cupcakes are you making?

I'm not sure how it will be this year, but after the official park closing last year the Osborne Lights were still on for quite some time. DH & I had dinner at the Brown Derby around 7:00 and afterwards we had time to wonder the Streets of America before heading over to the Toy Story party. Even with meeting up outside the park after closing - I think you'll still have some veiwing time if you decide to have dinner at the Studios.

Your right, the lights did stay on past park closing. They turned them off sometime between 8:30 and 9:00. I don't think they did the dancing lights thing past closing though.

 

[exwdwcm]

lol at chat turning adult-oriented at 10pm. is it like 'adult swim'? 'adult DIS'? i was spending some much needed quality time with my son and missed chat.

hmmmm Spectro on Sat night before TSM sounds like a plan too.......we only have 3 chances to see it during our 10 days since they aren't running it on MVMCP nights. I know my 2yo would love it. I think we might just stick with late dinner at Sci Fi instead though and then just meander around and maybe see the late lights and try for spectro later in the week.

Shelly and anyone else travelling to the Indy meet- have safe travels and you guys have a fantastic time- I'll be checking FB for updates and pics!! and eat one of Brandie's fantastic cupcakes for me. while i prefer pie or cookies over cake, i will take a cupcake anyday.

oh and Tracy or anyone else- since i have 14 in my party, i have to call the group dining line to make ADRs, right? I can't make them online? What time does group dining open and what is their #? I make mine next Friday and we have a lot (11 TS meals) to book. THX!!!!!

 

[Madi100]

Morning Everyone!!

I have another 15 minutes before I can print my boarding pass, then I have a few last minute things to pack up and I will be outta here!!

I have a few stops to make before going over to DHS for a few hours, then meeting Dodie and Philip for dinner and shopping at DTD tonight, spending the night by the airport, and then I will be Indy bound tomorrow morning!!

I can't wait to see everyone again!!! But am going to miss everyone who can't be there. You guys will be missed!! Who knows, there might be some dole whip dialing going on sometime this weekend

Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see some of you tomorrow!!

Have fun, Shelly. I wish we were going. maybe next time

This is very true...

And they can also even save you money - because sometimes Dreams knows about discounts that you may not. And for DAP - you get preferrence on going to the party, which is nice, too!

 

[Launchpad11B]

No MVMCP for us this year. I'm gonna see Vanessa Williams on Sunday night.

Going with anyone special?

Another DISer and I are working together to create a theme for our little area. I would prefer to keep it a surprise...but all will be known in about 2 days!

And I know that if I ever figure out how to ship the danged things, I've got one heck of a test market for them! Let's see...New York, Jersey, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Iowa, South Carolina, Colorado...I know there are others from other states, but can't remember off the top of my head! One of these days...I figure that if they can ship chocolate covered strawberries successfully, there's got to be a way to ship cupcakes...

You can tell me. I won't tell anyone. Just type it in small print. No one really reads the small print.

Have a great time at the meet. I am sure whatever type of cupcakes you make they will be wonderful!! Post pictures, I love food porn!
