Glad you liked the pics and the update Betsy. You know me, I have to make fun of myself, lol.

I don't know anything about the other food places having not eaten there but Nascar was very good. Carla, Rebecca and I all had the chicken tenders platter and they were delicious. Chris has a chicken pasta meal and I am not sure what James had but everything looked good and I can vouch for the chicken tenders as being very moist and very tasty. Their glasses of iced tea were huge I didn't even need a refill!!!!

I meet Cheri, I think, lol, Thursday evening. I have it written down. I am going over to Pop Century and will meet up with her and hopefully Nikki will be there and I'm not sure if I know anyone else who is planning on being there. I have the glow sticks and bracelets though, lol. I should have gotten some of those for Huey, he'd love wearing them and playing with them at night at the campground. I wonder if there is enough time to order them from Oriental Trading and have them delivered here in time?????

You can probaby check Target and Dollar Store for them

UJ HERE!!

Does anyone know if TAT picked up the package I left her???

I texted her and told her it was there and she was excited

Now let me see if I can get an answer about what it was for you all

Oh I'm glad she isn't let it slow her down. That's a sure sign she's fighting it. I know I was thinking with OJ sounded real yummy too.

Oh to be a toddler...nothing slows them down

You'll have to let us know how the OJ works out

Hey girl. Sorry Stinkerbelle is sick. DS is too,

If we had not already bought those tickets to Thomas, we would have stayed home.

He is full of energy, but had a post nasal drip cough as he refuses to learn how to blow his nose...drives me nuts

I do not blame you. If he feels like he can go then I would send him. You are exactly right, he got it from someone sending their kid sick.

The nose drip drives me nuts!!!!!

I just stopped over...TOO CUTE!!!

I have pondered it, if we had stayed home today, then I would send him tomorrow.

but he was out today in heat for hrs, and he is run down

I am afraid if I send him tomorrow, it will just make him worst.

I am hoping by keeping him home, I can let him sleep in late....as he is running right now on 5 hrs sleep and that is not good for his cold/allergies..

If it was not for his asthma, I would send him,. too

Just a bad combo

Thanks girl

This one may be much shorter and far less details as now I'm just so aggravated at the DIS.

I left the house and went shopping cause I was early. I come out of the store and have a msg from Carla. They were finished the rides and to come on early if I could. I immediately left and headed that way. I got there. I parked, I got to City Walk, I met them, we ate, it was great, they left, I went back to my car, I went shopping again. I loved meeting them, Carla is even sweeter in person if that is possible. The end!

awww you are too nice MOmMom.. I really had fun meeting you too. It was over way too fast!

I got to the parking garage and parked and then had no clue which way to go. There were no signs that said City Walk. I read them all and nothing. So I asked someone and they pointed which way I should go. So I start walking on the moving walkway and I get to an area that I would call the center of the wheel. There were three spokes (ways to go) and I wasn’t sure which way to go because once again it didn’t say City Walk. I saw signs for attractions but who thought that attractions would be the City Walk, I thought that would be Universal Studios. How did I know they were in the same direction, lol?

I called Carla and she told me which way to go. So I head towards the two security guys, they check the contents of my purse and my camera bag and I confirm with them that I am going the right way, I was, whew! So I continue down the moving walkways and I get to the end and there it is, City Walk and Universal, how about that, they were both the same direction!

I look around and I don’t see NASCAR’s restaurant or anything NASCAR actually, so I look around a little, snap a picture of just the general crowd.

I see the Bubba Shrimp Co. I loved Forrest Gump, lol, he wasn’t there though, just his restaurant, LOL! So I had to take a picture of that.

About that time I get a txt msg from Carla saying they are standing by NASCAR car #2. I look but don’t see, finally I ask someone and it’s around the corner, it was just out of my vision so I didn’t see it until I turned that corner. I see a little piece of black and white checkerboard and think hmm, could it be? Would it be? Is it really the NASCAR restaurant or something else checkerboard???? I continue walking until it gets more and clearer, now I see a car, hmm, must be. Sure enough there is Carla and Rebecca waving at me. I wave back and hurry to meet them. Yep you guessed it, big hugs!!! You all know me, if you are going to meet me, you are going to hug me or at least be hugged by me. So I give my big hugs and Carla introduced me to Rebecca and in we go. Chris and James are inside waiting for us. I get inside and I get to hug Chris and meet James. Everyone is so nice. While we are talking we get Chris to take a picture of Carla and I. Now you know it was taken from a bad angle, Chris was sitting and we were standing so I look like something out of beetlejuice, little tiny head and great big body. Amazing how that didn’t have the same affect on Carla, just me, must be an age thing, lol, gravity! LMAO!!!

We wait for a table and once our table is called, they naturally take you first to a photo opp. We stand and get our picture taken and then are shown to our table. Once at the table a lady brings the photo and says it’s $14.00 a copy, wow what a bargain, lol, and we look at it and then put it down. I thought a minute and thought too bad I don’t have a scanner, oh wait, we have cameras!!!! So I whisper to Carla, you know, we can always take a picture of the picture with a camera! And so out comes the camera and we get a picture. Carla will have that one so she can post that when she gets back.

We have a nice meal, lots of good conversation and we all really enjoyed ourselves. Its so nice to finally meet Carla in person and everyone else too naturally but really enjoyed Carla since we’ve been talking for so long, now I finally get to meet her in person!!!! It was wonderful.

Finally it was time to go, sadly enough. We were going to walk around and hang out but poor Chris developed a migraine. I can totally sympathize as I used to suffer from migraines and they are very painful. Unfortunately none of us had any Aleve with us so they had to go. I walked them to their car so I could get the glow sticks and bracelets that Carla had bought for the party at Pop Century so that I could take them to Cheri. We hug some more, talk a minute and then I took a picture of all of them before they left. I didn’t want to hold Chris there much longer knowing how awful he felt. So this is the parting shot right before they left. Then of course more hugs and now that I know Rebecca and James, they get hugs too!

I then walked back to City Walk and was going to walk around a bit but decided to go shopping instead. I’m still trying to find a top to go with the bottom I have of a bathing suit. Even on clearance here nothing is left. I ended up at Books A Million and got me three more Catherine Coulter books from the FBI series. So I’m set for another couple weeks of lunches at work. After that I went way out of my way to the gas station that is always the cheapest but due to Ike they had gone up to $3.85, well I may as well get it, it’s always the cheapest. I head back up I-4 and get off at our exit, turn into Champions Gate and there at the 7 eleven on our corner the gas is only $3.62!!!! I was so darn mad at myself, I went out of my way to spend 23 cents more a gallon, GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

great update about our meet MomMom!! I'll post the pic of the pic ( ) when I get back!

 

[Disneymommom]

Wow I am the first poster today on this thread, that's amazing!!!

Well Good Morning everyone, even though the morning is half over!!!I hope you all have a magical day!

 

[Disneymommom]

You should be proud of how smokin you are

Good choice...chicken tenders are one of my favorite's too!

I just picked up glow bracelets at Target for 99 cents. I bought them for DD over the 4th and she loved them. Now I need to go looking for glow sticks. I wonder if Dollar Tree would have them...hmmmm??? I bet you would have enough time to get them but if you have a Dollar Tree, they have a ton of the glow stuff all for a dollar.



Ugh, that's tough when you have to finish one to get to the next. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips Betsy. We have both dollar Tree as well as Target so I'll check them both out

I bet DD will love her glow bracelets, she looks like such a little lady. Sharky was that way when she was little, wore little plastic pearl bracelet, necklace and clip on pearl earrings. It was so cute, they grow up so fast and then they won't wear any of that stuff, LOL So enjoy it now!

 

[Disneymommom]

That happens to me everytime I click on a link here Michele! Then I have to log in again.




Never tried it! Do you drink it straight? On the rocks? Do tell. I love pineapple! It's so pineappley!


QM~ LOVE the dismeet update! You and Carla both look fabulous! I love your top!

Betsy and QM~ Check target for glow sticks!!! In the dollar section up front! If they have put out Halloween stuff they should have them. I bought a TON last year for a buck! They had 10 bracelets in each tube, I think, and also connectors to make them longer.

Also, I hope Stinkerbelle feels better soon Betsy!

Thanks Love, I will definitely head over to Target on my way home today., there is one about 5 miles past where we live so I'll go straight there before I go home. I know they have the Halloween stuff out as I saw some of it the other day but didn't think of glow sticks. That's perfect!!!

Thanks for the nice compliments, I really enjoyed meeting Carla in person. She's such a doll!

Yes, Betsy, I too hope Stinkerbelle feels better!

 

[Disneymommom]

Good Morning everyone!

Love the meet report QM. It looks like you are going to have lots of fun with the new camera.

Sharky, I hope Huey is feeling better.

And Betsy I hope Stinkerbelle is feeling better too.

Love, I was drinking it with ice. But later I was looking at the bottle and they reccommended drinking it with orange juice so maybe next time I will. It tasted good just over ice.

Have a great day everybody!

Good Morning Michele, Glad you enjoyed my DIS meet report. I was so mad when I was almost done and it disappeared and I had to do it all over again, grrrr.

Yes I plan on having a blast with the new camera. I love my pictures, great with a digital as you can take all you want and only keep the good ones.

UJ HERE!!

Does anyone know if TAT picked up the package I left her???

Hi Uncle John!!!

I just texted Tat and asked if she picked up the package, will let you know once I hear back. I do know she went back to the hotel early Saturday as Shane wasn't behaving himself. I don't know what he did but Tat wasn't happy! Poor thing!

 

[Disneymommom]

UJ HERE!!

Does anyone know if TAT picked up the package I left her???

UJ, Yes Tat did pick up the package and it was great she said! She loved it. I won't say what is in it, that's up to you or Tat to tell all about, lol. It sounded cool though, I would have loved the one part of the contents for sure!!! In fact, it's one of my DH's and my favorite things, LOL! Good job!

 

[Disneymommom]

Thanks Chele. We had a great time



I am so glad you met them and a bit jealous of course



Hey girl. Sorry Stinkerbelle is sick. DS is too,

If we had not already bought those tickets to Thomas, we would have stayed home.

He is full of energy, but had a post nasal drip cough as he refuses to learn how to blow his nose...drives me nuts



Sounds like a great visit. You do not look like beetlejuice

That is a cute shot of you and Carla and the one of the 4 of them

Glad you all had a nice time. Sorry Chris got a migraine...Hope he is feeling better



I am up in the air right now about school tomorrow. I can not keep him home all week for coughing.......maybe I will just get a good dose of cough syrup in him and send him....Someone got him sick, mine as well give it back to them



That is a great zoom. Yes, I think we definitely will



Aw...how pathetic and cute at the same time

I knew you'd be a little jealous, I gave her a hug for you! You'll get your chance one of these days. Maybe you could take a trip to GA one day to see your friend Vicki and also see Carla and Karen, that would be great!

Yes that was a pretty good zoom wasn't it? Can't wait to use it for some great fun pics at Disney.

You can probaby check Target and Dollar Store for them



I texted her and told her it was there and she was excited

Now let me see if I can get an answer about what it was for you all

I got the answer, she did pick it up and I know what was in it, so cool!!! I don't know if she wants me to tell online what it is or if UJ does, thought Tat may want to do it herself in her TR when she gets back or UJ may want to share..............so, UJ the girls are curious, do you want to share?

If anyone interested, there might a few new post over on our Pre trip report

Been there, done that, loved the pics, naturally, lol

Aww hope my poor baby feels better today. His poor little nose and throat. I bet the teacher will be able to teach him to blow his nose.They have a tendency to listen to them before they listen to us, lol.

awww you are too nice MOmMom.. I really had fun meeting you too. It was over way too fast!



great update about our meet MomMom!! I'll post the pic of the pic ( ) when I get back!

I'll be waiting for the post!!!

It's okay about it being too fast, I was disappointed also but when you get a migraine, that's a killer and I know from experience. I'm just sorry I hadn't brought my Aleve with me in my purse, it was on my car seat!

Have fun at MK today. I'm glad you got good and wet already on Splash Mountain, I can't wait to do that!

 

[Trentmom]

Thanks Mom


He was really having trouble breathing last night, so I gave him breathing treatments all night. I had predisone in fridge left over from our last hospital visit. So, I gave him a dose of that around noon and will give him another one in the evening. I am doing everything to avoid hospital visit. So crazy, because everything they do in the hospital, I can do at home... I have done this 6 times already, hosptial thing, so I think I know what I am doing now. I am hoping I can convince the pediatrician to get me a script for predisone for our trip, to have just in case. Last time I tried, it was a no
