Someone (a beloved person who is wonderful in all ways) in my group made sure we did not ask CMs any questions.
I'm waiting for Sleeping Beauty... I mean my
Disneyland buddy to wake up so we can go. I'm all dressed & waiting. lol
Mary Jo--I hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday at Disneyland today!
Hmm?? I must have missed it too!!
For goodness sakes ladies, I get on this morning and I'm 15 or so pages behind!!!
So Linda, You do NOT NOT NOT look pregnant. I even thought you had lost weight, remember? The nerve!!! On the good side of it, is that she thought you were young enough to still have babies..........that is pretty cool!!!
Now I need to get something straight here. Do you guys mean to tell me, that the entertainment rate was good on all of our nights there?

And when I checked out, and got the rate for Sunday night, they didn't tell me, it was good for the rest of days?????????

That's down right stingy!!!
Whoever calls, let me know the turn-out, OK?
Now I have some sad news.
It turns out that my Sister's cancer did get into some of her body. So she has to have chemo. And I was supposed to go to DL with her, my other Sister and my Mom for Mother's Day. We were also supposed to go to Club 33 too. So once again, plans have changed. But that is OK, cuz there will always be another time. I just want my Sis to be well!!!
Well I'm off to my DD's track meet.
Have a good day!
Mel, I am so sorry about your sister. Hugs and prayers to her (and you and your family).
And I totally missed the post about Linda being pregnant--does Bree know?
Yeah, I found out about it yesterday when I logged onto the HOJO's website to look at the dates for October, and noticed that we could have had that rate the whole time! I seriously doubt we get a refund though, they know we'll be back, so we have no leverage.
I was going to call Monday morning, but have to work now. Does someone else want to call? Maybe Cheryl can put her lawyer voice on, or Beth can sweet talk Lorealle. I doubt Lorealle has the power to issue us a refund though.
Heather I hope you feel better soon!
I can call her, but not sure if I can do it today. But I'm not sure she's there on weekends anyway. If you don't want to wait, you can try to reach her and see what she says. Otherwise I will try tomorrow.
Now I am so jealous! I want to be back there now.
Let me know what you think of Witch Mountain. My kids want to see it too.
I second that!
I was going to let you call . . . . but when you called are they applying it for everyone in our group or do we each need to call?
I forgot to ask earlier. Who brought the strawberry marshmallows??? They are delicious and mine are gone. I'd like to get some more, I'll be eternally grateful for the store name and/or website.
steph
Dawn brought the strawberry marshmallows. Not sure where she got hers, but a lady brought some to the shower today and she found them in the Easter candy aisle of the grocery store.
That's not what I heard....
so joking, I don't want the leader of the pack to kick out the new girl already
You really don't know Beth very well, do you? this is the woman who worships stripper shoes. You're safe, believe me!
I swear it wasn't me.
Trust me, there isn't much you can't do to not get kicked out. You are in.
What she said. (and I don't think it was me either)
I have to say this, and hope I don't get flamed.
I missed the magic of the Hojo. It was cute. I can see where kids would love the pirate cove thing in warm weather. The landscaping was pretty, and the room was clean and cheap (although it could have been cheaper!). We had a corner room with no balcony, and did not have the upgraded mattress. The people at the front desk were mixed. When we checked out the man at the desk could not understand how we were paying. (Splitting the remaining nights in half.) The baggage man was nice. I don't know, it didn't seem that special.

I think I missed the specialness. I've heard people say Lorealle was great to us, but I'm missing where.

I found the ent code both times myself by looking on the website. We all had to call ourselves to get it applied to Sunday night, and then I find out not everyone got it even after doing that! We were told that she would apply the code to all of us for the whole stay if it became available. She didn't. She updates the codes on the website (I think!). She updated the ent code on the website on March 5th, and came to our party, but didn't tell anyone about the code.

I'm not trying to be hard on her, but I just don't see where we got any special treatment. OK.....flame away....
ETA-I do want to make it clear that stay was good, it just wasn't what I expected after all the praise on the board. It's that extra something that I missed. Also, imagine how excited and ready to party we would all have been if we knew that we were saving money the whole weekend at the party! I could have found something to do with that extra money![/QUOTE]
I totally agree with you too. Although I didn't have any issues (well, other than the Ent. Rate thing which Molly was right and I was wrong!)
I actualy like those shoes also!
Stacie, I'm so glad you like your toy story mania. It is fun isn't it? I'm glad they still had it for you.
One question (or more!) about the Halloween party in Oct. Do they have a special parade and fireworks like they do at WDW? Are all the characters dressed up? Can you ride the rides during the party? Thanks!
What toy story mania thing are you all talking about?
For the Halloween party, I don't remember a parade or anything. Basically, they have candy stations set up around DCA and various characters out walking around for photo ops. some, like the princesses, are staged in certain areas with backdrops and photopass photogs. Lots of people wear costumes, but I think most of the characters are in their "regular" costumes. And yes, the rides are open.
Ok girls so I hope you are having a great evening.
I was going to stay home. Just John (he really is the best ex I have, besides the fact I have known him since he was 13) he called and was like I am sorry he ended up being a creep. But I never got to hang out with you on your birthday so a few of us are going out tonight. I will pick you up at 9.
John is a sweetheart. FRIENDS, we are only friends. He really is the bestest!!
Have fun on your latest "non-date"!!!!!
As for me, I am tired. the bridal shower was a huge success, but a lot of work and then i went over to the nursing home to visit my Mom for an hour or two. I'm back home now, and dragging. The good news--however--is that my Mom is due to be released on Monday! I am so glad--last night she seemed really overmedicated and not getting better so i talked to her nurse and we adjusted her meds and she is so much more alert and herself today. Of course, I need to (i) work, (ii) get ready to pack for WDW and (iii) cook a corned beef tomorrow (the latter for Monday dinner when Mom comes here). Not sure how I'm going to get it all done--better make a FULL pot of coffee in the morning!
Ok, other than that I'm going to let the rest of you chatty ladies take over and I'm going to bed soon! TTYL!
