Ok the kids just got home... I have to be all motherly and not think about hot actors ... moms dont think that way

Thanks for the laughs girls!

See ya!

Now see, I respect your taste But that is one person I do not "get". I know that technically he is good looking but he holds no appeal for me personally. I think it's interesting how people's tastes vary.
Also, Patrick Dempsey - NOT. I remeber when he was the loser in movies in the early 90s. And who's the Wolverine guy? He is most definitely NOT my type but I know some people LOVE him.

Hugh Jackman??? I think it comes down to the accent... I am not an Orli fan either, but I am a sucker for an Engligh accent (or Aussie in Hugh's case)

I am married to a dirty guy! He works in the seed business, farms, and wears work boots

I like the sound of THAT

 

[Lives4Disney]

I LOVE HUGH JACKMAN!!!!

You ladies all need to go and take a hot shower!

Can we reopen that topic about turndown service?

I have a question: We're staying in a GV, is it offered automatically or do I need to request it? I'm asking because I make mousekeeping envelopes and I need to have turndown service ones too.

Also, for those of you who leave gifts at night for the little ones. I plan on making little treats from Mickey (the party loot bags) can I just leave them on the bed and then turndown service will arrange it on the pillow after they've turndown the bed?

The loot bags are really just one item. Like a pack of swedish fish for the DS4 and Gerber fruit snacks for DS1. Small little items. We're there 9 nights, so I need to get creative, they can't get a toy every night!

I've gone crazy with this "stuff from mickey" I'm out of control!

I did come up with a good idea that I'm proud of! Since the boys will be getting giftbags of "stuff" when they arrive and nightly treats, on our second to last day we plan to shop in DTD. I made little envelopes for them from Mickey which I'm going to put disney dollars in. With a note that they can purchase whatever they want (according to their disney dollars!) in the Once Upon a Toy Store. I thought that was such a nice idea!

I don't get him either. But I must admit - that final scene in POTC 3 when he's coming over to be with Elizabeth for the first time in however many years - he did look GOOD there!

Okay, back to reality...

Turndown should be automatic at the GF, but you could call to confirm it (and maybe request a time if you're going to be back in the room early) just in case. You might also want to mention about your gifts. Or, just run ahead to the room a couple of minutes ahead of the rest of the family, and quick put them out yourself.

The DTD idea sounds great!

We got turndown every night without requesting it. I left my goodies on the daybed instead of the bed so they wouldn't get lost.

Ummm....the above post doesn't belong on this thread.

Just kidding....OK, I'll answer and then I have to run kid around!

Turndown should be automatic. Nothing is certain though. Ask at checkin and then maybe call housekeeping just to touch bases and be sure.

I miss having little ones!!!! THat sounds so cute....housekeeping usually does fun things with stuffed animals, balloons or whatever they have handy in your room. maybe if you leave the goodies right on the pillows, they'd get the hint?? Many don't read English,so notes might not help.

Have fun planning!!!!

Ask, and you too shall receive!!!

Yeah - he looks good b/c they have him dressed up like Johnny

I'm going to look at Disney Florist.com and Peggy's site. I want to have something waiting for DD at the resort. Peggy does the CUTEST things but I am bummed about the No Food policy

Tell me about it... I was just getting ready to order my basket last year from Sarah (who is now run by Betsy, since Peggy wasn't back in the business yet) when the change came through

Well crud, it just started raining and I have chicken marinating in the firdge to grill tonight... guess I need to switch to Plan B for dinner

Take Care Girls!! (and fellow wenches!!)

 

[vbarry]

Heading out to dance class. Can't wait to tell my other crude friends about today's conversation. One of them is in love with the Captain. We were on the cruise in Feb and she made me chase him down several times. Felt like a teenager. (he is dirty in person also by the way!!)

 

[SleepingUgly]

It was a tough day at work today, but you ladies really made my afternoon! Thanks for the entertainment!

Have a good night, everybody!

Here's one to lull you to sleep tonight ...
