DISers tired of apologizing?

[CR Resort Fan 4 Life]

ah..I getcha now I was thinking it was the plain lunacy of posting apologies for a kid being a kid..which for some reason annoys people round here a plenty Be assured if (or should I say when?) my DD4 has a meltdown at one of the parks due to overtired/overstimulated ness...I wont post an apology. Seems silly to me to do so too.

LOL. No offesne to other Disboards members, but you sound like a normal one not posting because your Daughter had a meltdown.

heehee...normal not a word usually associated with me
but we can keep that our little secret can't we?

I rarely apologize. I usually write what I mean and mean what I write. If someone is offended by what I say .... c'est la vie. About once every few months I really mess up. I say something without thinking it through and I hurt people's feelings unintentionally. Those few times I will make a public apology to the people I hurt and the DIS.
BTW, I have never used the or smilies. I find them obnoxious.

mugs, hmmm. I have NEVER used a mug at a different resort... however... we like to "resort hop". disney makes it SO EASY to do so,(they transfer your luggage) and it's a WONDERFUL thing!!! given our budget, we can't afford a whole week at a deluxe resort, but this way we get to try various deluxe resorts for a few days, and then transfer to a moderate or value resort for a few days. I think it is unfair for us to have to buy a new mug at each resort, when we are staying on disney property the whole time. being a stickler for rules, we just don't buy the mugs if we "resort hop"; we only buy them if we are staying at one resort for the whole stay. but I still say it is unfair... if I'm staying in disney, I'm staying in disney, not somewhere on I drive! If my luggage can be transferred, why not my mug? any thoughts?

I have no idea what these mugs that seem to cause such an uproar even are! I dont remember them when we stayed at the GF..and not at the Swan last year either. From the sound of it..i dont wanna know!

tink - mugs are actually a great thing disney resorts offer (you would not find them at the swan or dolphin, since disney does not own these resorts). for about $12 you buy a big souvineer mug, with the name of the resort on it. now, for the length of your stay (at that resort) you get free refills on pop, coffee, and tea - only at the resort, not in the parks. when we drive, we bring our own beverages, but if you fly, this can save money (esp. at a value resort, where there is no coffee in the rooms). pop century has frozen coke and I think raspberry (slushy). add a little of your own rum and voila! a fancy drink!

ahhhh..I see! I will have to keep that in mind then..since there is a bottle of cruzan in my suitcase as we speak The only mention of them I had heard untill now was the back and forth about people bringing them back withthem the next trip or what have you..and all these negative argumentitive threads are just icky. Thanks for the heads up..we are staying at the poly..and making our own rum and cokes and sitting on the balcony after DD has fallen asleep sounds good to me

yes carolyn, this is a good thing. but whenever there are good deals there are always those who try to cheat, and ruin things for everyone else. i had friends who tried to give us their old mugs from the year before "take these, save $24" PLEEASE! I am KNOWN at the bar I work at as the "coupon queen" - always looking for a bargain - HOWEVER, I will NEVER cheat and/or steal. if enough people try to reuse the same mugs year after year to save a few bucks, disney will do the only thing they can do; eliminate the offer, and ruin it for everyone. I was just asking about if you resort hop, in ONE trip, like we tend to do. by the way, resort hopping is a GREAT way to sample the many resorts at disney . (our friends think DH and I should work for disney, as much PR we give them! tee hee) diane

 

[DISUNC]

There's currently a debate on the DDP board about when is an okay time to use the little popcorn man emoticon... and they're not kidding, people are getting mad at each other.

Tooooooooooooooo Funnnnnnnnnnnnny!

I have to go find that!

Oh I agree with ya ...I just am tired of all the arguing that seems so common here And yeah sometimes I think they should pay me as I am a walking talking advertisement for them..and I don't even get to go that often..this will be trip 4 in 35 years!

I only apologized once- I had accidentally posted a thread on the wrong board. A Diser rather bluntly made a statement about it and a flurry of other disers went after him/her for it. So I just decided to kill him/her with kindness and explain that I wasn't really 'all there' when I posted it and sorry to have bothered him/her. The apology wasn't warranted but eh I'm sure that irked him/her too.

I can only please one person a day and that day was not their day!!

But yes, I now look at the thread titles and can usually tell which ones are going to go down the drain quickly. I couldn't believe that on one of the MNSSHP threads got so nasty and had to be shut down. People were actually ARGUING over whether the 'other' people had the right to be upset over conflicting information coming from WDW regarding the parties? Craziness!

I also wandered into the CB after hearing so much about it figuring it couldn't be all THAT bad...yeah...I was wrong there!! Unbelievable what people can get ticked off about. And it's sad when you then read threads about truly disabled people who are afraid to rent an ECV due to posts from people being VERY critical of those who do use the ECV who don't have an outwardly obvious illness. They just don't want to read about themselves when they get back!

And we leave at the end of this month and right now I'm just sayin' I will not be apologizing for my kids meltdowns. They happen, I will deal with them, but it's Disney folks! I think even as a grown adult I too will become overwhelmed and have a mini mommy tantrum! Then they all can and

 

[Simba22]

I understand what you mean about apologizing. But, most of the time, if I think I am going to offend someone, I simply dont reply. I skip it.

IMHO (LoL) we shouldn't have to skip out on posting because we are afraid of getting flamed. I don't understand how so many people can NOT UNDERSTAND that the point of a message board is to be able to talk to people across the world about something we all have in common. We should all be able to discuss MATURELY the things that gross us out, or bother us, etc...without having to deal with being insulted by someone who's view is different. I don't ever expect anyone to fully agree with me, that's why it's MY opinon and not YOUR (and I use "yours" meaning the person about to flame me because they disagree). If you honestly have nothing NICE to say to the person you are replying to, than don't reply. But if you shouldn't be afraid to voice your opinion and others should be mature enough to understand that just because someone's opinion is different, it doesn't merit you making fun of them or replying with sarcasm.

I got a news flash when it comes to re-using old mugs, Cast Members don't care if you do. I spoke to several of them last month when I was at WDW & they said the cost to sell the drinks is less then 5 cents, so they don't care if you bring back old mugs & they will never question you about them. I know your going to say then why do some mugs say good for length of stay? Well I don't know about that, all I am going on is what the Cast Members told me. Also these were Cast Members in managment & Cast Members who work at the Food & Fun Center, so I made sure I got opinions from each of them. Also & this is the biggest shocker for the "mug police", one Cast Member told me he uses a mug from the Wilderness Lodge at All Star Sports Resort. Now what do you all think about that?
