I was also wondering who'd rooming with who.

When I had made the list for the WDW trip, I had the names listed together that were rooming together and also their arrival/departure dates. So maybe you can have people PM you with that info too. Only if you want.

Sure, give her more work. You know I'm itching to help give the work to her.

Evenin' ladies! I had something interesting happen today. The lawfirm I used to work for called me to see if I'd be interested in some very sporadic contract work. So, I talked it over with dh and said I could definitely use the $$ for my upcoming Disney trips. So, looks like I'll be back at the office occassionally in the evenings. Not that excited about the work, but I'll feel better knowing I'm funding my own Disney obsession and not stressing dh out over it.

Also trying to do some market research stuff to fill the piggy bank. Gotta pay for my cruise next year as well!!

Hope y'all are having a great evening.

Hmmm, whatever I say????? muahahaha

Please PM suggestions on what we can have Ruth do to amuse us. I'll keep a list and pick out the best ones.
We can sit and while we watch her.

Just make sure you have on your steel toe boots travel mate

That's great about the contract work. Not like you have to do it forever. Disney is so much more fun when you don't have to worry about what you're spending.

What rides have a Single Rider line? Or should I call them Secret Single Rider lines.

We might have a few instances where there are only a couple of us wanting to ride...and doing it fast through a single rider line might be a good idea instead of keeping whatever group we are with waiting around for too long. (Or for any future solo trip I might take rofl)

From Bumbershoot's Trip Report I found out Screamin' does.

I've done a few solo trips ...

Splash : ask the fast pass CM for single rider pass, walk thru the exit, wave your pass in the air and look all excited A CM will direct you to walk up and over a bridge (it goes over the track). You hang there for awhile until they need you, typically it's the last seat sometimes it's the middle seat. I try to be nice and stick my head down during the pic. Families won't have some random person in their souvie pic. If it's not busy.... exit a log, walk over bridge and do it again and again and again The CMs love single riders for Splash.

Soarin': ask for single rider pass, they let you in thru fast pass line, then direct you to wait in the hall until they need you. Personally, I don't like Single Rider for this ride. They run out of passes quickly and wait time can sometimes be lengthy.

GRR: When it's busy they have single rider, haven't done it (allergic to the water -- break out in a rash EVERY time) don't know the details.. Talk to the fast pass CM.
** This ride's fast pass is "unplugged" from the system. ***

Mulhulland Madness: they have a gate marked single rider, no need for passes. This is the only way my teens ride -- I don't particularly like it.

Maliboomer: Again only when it's really busy, they have a single rider line. Haven't done it, too scared..

Screamin' : Ask fast pass CM for single rider pass, walk past the ride toward the water. Up a sidewalk/ramp you will see a gate marked single rider, push thru. Take elevator up. Walk across and take elevator down.. This gets you on the loading side of the ride. Wave and smile nicely to a CM with your pass. They will fit you in wherever needed.

Well, extra money for Disney and the cruise is always nice.

I know you can rent off site scooters for WDW I am sure there are offsite place for disneyland. I will be checking this out in case my scooter breaks down and need temporary wheels.

So when I find out places and prices I will let you know.

I bet Lynn (disneegrl4eva) would know where to rent a scooter locally. She rents one on her DL trips. Give her a PM and ask

Ooh interesting.
On Friday when I did it, after getting the pass from the CM, I went back towards the water, up a bit, and through the wheelchair exit, which ramps up (or down if you're leaving the ride). Then I was on the opposite side of everyone else, in a line marked Single Rider (there was no S.R. sign outside of the line) and I entered from that side.

Totally didn't realize Splash had one (though I think I did know in '06, now that I think about it). But the FP machines were closed while I was there, and there weren't that many people in line anyway so it didn't hurt to wait.

Soarin'...I think I agree. When I did the S.R. I was the only one in that line, and I got to pass by the looong line inside the building (very few people outside). Got lots of glares. And then as their line went first and they all passed me, got lots of "I pity you, you thought you got away with something" looks. And then I filled in where they needed me, so we all got onto the same ride. That's how it worked for me on a slower evening... But this trip I just got in the regular line, which was just in the building, so I figured there was no point, I'd just get on that ride anyway, either way, so I waited in the long line. BUT waiting in a line-of-one kinda felt better, but the stares and glares while in that S.R. line was annoying.

Good Morning!

 

[funnygarcia]

hmm, sounds like they changed the boarding for Screamin single rider. I haven't gone lately, my boys go when we hit DCA.. which isn't very often.

 

[wdwr]

Afternoon all!

I hope you are all fine. There were some fierce winds blowing around the US and Canada overnight. Heck there still are some blowing.

Everyone stay warm and safe.

Good morning everyone,

Schools were closed again for the third straight day because the roads are so bad. The plows might be able to make a little headway today, but there's more snow on the way tonight (about half a foot), and then even more on Saturday and Sunday. At this rate, our kids will be making up snow days into July.

I don't know what the heck we're going to do with all this snow! Where are we going to put it all?!?!

I haven't been feeling very well, so I haven't been on the DisBoards much. I don't know what's wrong with me. I put my neck/left shoulder out on Monday and had some lightheadedness, but by Tuesday all my back muscles were stiff and sore, as well as my calf muscles. Today my muscles are still a little stiff, but now I feel kind of shaky. I don't have a fever or anything, so I have no idea what is going on.

I'll be lurking around here on and off today, so behave youselves!

You put your neck/shoulder out? And now ou have all of these symtoms? Maybe you should call the doc! Maybe a pinched nerve??

Hope you feel better soon!

Ugh..I am sorry that you are not feeling well. Take care of yourself....maybe if you soak in a warm bubble bath. That might make it feel better.

You don't have to worry about me, I am always on my best behavior.

As Molly said, you don't go to the regular line, not sure when they had it that way. You walk through the wheelchair entrance and you end up on the opposite side of the cars that are loading, then they put you in an empty seat, usually pretty quickly.

I second that. Stay safe and warm.

Yikes, sorry about all the snow!! And that you aren't feeling well. I agree that maybe you should contact the doc to see if you can find out what's going on. Take care. Oh, and how's your mom doing now?

no, I was thinking of the wheelchair entrance -- but the CMs would direct us to do the elevator thing (up and over the loading area). Sounds like they let you load on the exit side now.

Hello everyone .

Just stopping by to say sometimes I really hate working . Why did I ever become an accountant

. I'm really good at it but it's very unsatisfying and sometimes I feel like a robot doing the same thing over and over and over again .

O.K. I'm done venting. Back to work I go .
