Good news to hear that you were able to get the reservations at BB.

 

[franandaj]

I can imagine that is hassle to do that. I'm sure they are not set up for big parties even though it happens all the time.

The biggest hassle comes from the website not letting you book multiple reservations for the same time.

Good news that you got BB, Angela!

Two work days coming up!

Good news that you got BB, Angela!

I've been busy working on reservations...

16 of us for BB/Fantasmic dinner spread over 4 reservations
16 of us for Goofy's Kitchen
19 of us at the Halloween Party
14 of us for Carthay Circle/World of Color

Whew, I'm finally finished with Disney reservations.

 

[mvf-m11c]

That is a lot of people for ADR and MHP. Glad that you got everything you want.

 

[ACDSNY]

Thanks, we had 25 of us 10 years ago.

A few want to go to Medieval Times so I still need to buy tickets for that one.

 

[mvf-m11c]

That is a lot of people. Glad that I don't have to do those kinds of planning for that many people.

 

[ACDSNY]

Now you know why I'm heading to Hawaii for rest and relaxation.

 

[mvf-m11c]

I can understand completely.

We are having a party Saturday night. It's pretty much the local peeps who came to my 50th and the same of us got together about a month ago, and it's pretty much the same people who came out last weekend to do the library.

But this time we are having "Murph Burgers". At our last party I suggested we do this again but use the grill and David (our Timpani player) said we had to do his famous burgers as his last name is Murphy. I insisted that Fran and I provide the rest of the meal as he and his lady did the entire meal the last time.

Yesterday we shopped for everything we needed. Today we did sone house cleaning and tomorrow we plan to make most of the sides to go with the Murph Burgers. Saturday will be all the final clean up of the outside and putting out the patio cushions.

I can't believe how much work it takes to relax and have fun! Not to menation the nighmare that we are dealing with on our pool. We are so firing the current service as they can't keep our pool from turning green. I have put seven chlorine shock treatments in the pool in the last 30 hours and I have a feeling I will be picking up half a dozen more tomorrow morning at the pool shop when I bring in another water sample.tomorrow morning.

Ugh. The things you never knew would be a problem. I am learning so much about pools now. There is a reason I pay people to do this, but from now on I will know what to ask them and why it isn't looking right. Once I have to become the expert, this pool company is history!

Your pool maintainence company aren't doing their job???? WOW! Glad you're learning all about it and then giving them the boot!

Another party at your place! I so wish I could just pop in to see you and gatecrash. Have a great time.


BTW - I'm starting to think about October/November next year.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Work has kicked up a notch this week. At least I got a couple of weeks where I got a little bored; so I enjoyed the extra activity this week.

It's the weekend! And we're busy with a lot of DS activities. I'll check in when I can.
Miss chatting to y'all.

Sorry you're having issues with your pool chemistry. Your former pool service should have been able to handle keeping the chemicals in balance so your pool is sparkling and inviting. Is it a chlorine pool or a salt water pool? If it is a chlorine system, when you can, switch to a salt water system. It's easier to keep in balance, and you don't spend as much at the pool store. You add salt and the system extracts the chlorine from the salt. It's also easier on the eyes, hair and skin. You come out of the pool feeling like you've been soaking at the spa.

BTW - I'm starting to think about October/November next year.

Well, the last of the YoYos *finally* purchased her park tickets! (We leave tomorrow!) Now to get everyone linked so I can do the fast passes. I hope there's some good ones left. One of the YoYos just went off on her own and got her own fast passes. She thought that once she got hers, we all used hers.

I just keep repeating to myself, "It's Disney. I'll be at Disney. And if they tick me off, I know how to lose them in the parks!"

Stay tuned for updates from the trip starting Monday!

 

[franandaj]

Have a great time at Disney YoYo!

The new pool service will take over on Friday. Hopefully it won't be a problem from here out. I am so sick of pool problems.

I'm so happy to hear you've hired a new pool service! Have a wonderful time at your party this weekend. Relax and enjoy it!

I'm just sitting here trying to figure out where I've put things I put in that "special place so I won't lose it because I want to take it on the trip". If you hear someone screaming or beating their head against a wall, it's just me.

I have to be packed tonight as I leave my house before 7:30 am to make it to McGuyver YoYo's house before 9:00 am to meet up with Chatty YoYo and Shopper YoYo. I'm Planner YoYo aka Crafty YoYo, in case you don't know. Then, we'll meet up with Hippie YoYo and Party YoYo tomorrow afternoon at the hotel. Classy YoYo is driving down on Wednesday.

We had a change of plan early this morning. Shopping YoYo was going to drive, but her van is in the shop waiting on a new transmission as of 10:00 am this morning. So, Chatty YoYo will drive Shopper YoYo to McGuyver YoYo's house and McGuyver YoYo will drive us to Disney, unless we can't fit our "stuff" into McGuyver YoYo's car. Then we'll take my car too. Anyone who is not confused yet, please let me know because I'm so confused I don't know which end is up!

I'm going to Disney tomorrow!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Have fun at Disney, YoYo!

Alison, I hope you get the pool issues sorted! That doesn't sound fun.

PIO, YAY!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Planner YoyoA - Good luck! See you at the other end.....if you survive the Yoyo experience!!!! <<insert evil laugh here>>

Alison - I hope your pool issues get sorted. A slimy pool is not fun!

Dana - I don't even know where to START with this planning. Remind me again when your wedding is? I'm going to have to run back to your planning thread to figure out the most important dates for this trip.
