Good thinking, that Moped was just too slow!!

Well Snowbirds, it's been another fun day here in Snowbirdland. But I must go tend to the family now.

Have a great night everyone!

It's still not posted yet, from what I'm seeing. Several assumptions being made. The CM I talked to last night said he couldn't confirm Yak & Yeti was on the 2009 plan, but that it was "99%" expected that they would be. So things aren't final yet.

 

[crzyred]

Ok I've decided I need to quit my job so that I can stay home and play with you guys all day on the Dis.

Now I understand that Trixie is supplying the pictures here but can I just add my own..... I really hope no one minds....

Trixie if you have any more of Orlando, I wouldn't mind seeing them...

Anyone can supply the pictures! As long as they're DIS appropriate, right Mama Snowbird?

Sorry for the confusion. The ddp info is for coworker of Dh who is going to disney and the eating with dinos is for me. Yak and Yeti is a differant location owned by same parent company as T rex Cafe which is in DTD.

Some other ideas miniature golf, you get copuon in your packet, DTD, rent those fancy surrey bikes, walk around the other resorts,Boardwalk. PLus I thnk there is even a movie plex in DTD. If you have transportation you can go to (dont flame me) Universal boardwalk type thing they have awesome restaturants, shops etc. Jimmy Buffetts place is awesome sit on the porch of indecision watch the river go by. Hope these help.

Oh, I realised that you weren't talking about Yak & Yeti - I was just using it as an example of one of the places that hadn't committed to the DDP yet for 2009.

I'm still confused about independent companies in the parks and at the resorts, but I'm hoping it'll straighten out. I'll cancel ADRs for restaurants that aren't participating, that's for sure!

Love your Little Pirate!!!!Brought a smile to my face- Piceless!

Thanks! He brings a smile to my face on a daily basis.

Alrighty folks, have a little bragging to do!! Mike called me around lunch and here's our conversation:
"Hey, whatcha doin'?"
ME: "School--working on math w/dd. What r u doin'?"
Mike: "Surprising my wife!"
At this point I thought, yay! He's in the driveway!!!
Me: "What, what -are you here?"
Mike:"No, but I got you and dd something. Tickets for tonight to go see the Nutcracker --the Russian Ballet is in town!"
Me:" Are you serious? Oh my word!! WOW!!!"
Mike:" And that's not all---with your bf Stephanie and her 2 little girls"
Me"WHAT!!! Why? Have you talked to Steph?"
Mike:" Yep, she's just as excited as you!!! I wanted to ask her before I told you and then she couldn't go. As for why, because you deserve it and I wanted to give it to you."

Is that awesome or what??!?!?!? I just love that man!! I must say I was quite speechless for a bit!!! He doesn't do BIG things like that without me knowing anything about it very often. I am quite aware of what goes on around here!! I am hard to surprise.But, he did it at the office this morning. So, I just wanted to tell you all my good news and brag on my Princely Husband!! It was such a Disney Prince kind-of-thing to do, I knew you would all appreciated it!!!! Okay, gotta go finish chores so I can enjoy those Russian ballet dancers free of guilt!!!!!!

You lucky duck!! Enjoy the Nutcracker.

Ok I've decided I need to quit my job so that I can stay home and play with you guys all day on the Dis.

Yes . . . you MUST quit your job so that you can Dis with us all day long

Orlando is "super-dee, dooper-dee" yummy That's my DS's newest catch phrase. Everything is "super-dee, dooper-dee"

Wow you've got yourself one wonderful man there!

It's no problem. Like we say, "We're married, not dead." No harm in looking. You guys have good taste in men (I'm secure enough in my manhood to say that), how about a photo of (your normal suspects) Halle Berry or Jennifer Aniston?

Wow, wow, wow is it ever tougher to find DIS appropriate pics of women than men!

Jenn is awful bronze there isn't she?
And Hugh just doesn't do anything for me...let's get back to 'ole Cap'n Jack or Orlando!

I would to if you are paying to eat i'd use those credits to your advantage.I personally love my TIW(DDE) card, 20% off including alcohol at most TS rest I'd frequent. AS for T rex I redeem my Mypoints for GC so I'm eating there for "free" too

 

[drakes]

I just finished pre-ordering my PhotoPass CD!
Now I have to read up on how it all works to get our money's worth.

Let me know how it works. I want to pre-order. Do they charge you prior to going or after?

Did you get an offer for the resort photo shoot?

I'm right there with Cryred..I too have to quit my job to chat more on these boards. I got home tonight from work...and started reading on page 12. It's now 6:33 and I finally got all caught up. I did make supper in-between and threw in some in the dryer, but jeeze...when does everyone find time to dis so much ?

I am loving most of the pic's...the yummy ones are certainly adding to my night. I am a married, single mother (my DH works 2nd shift) so I only get to see him at 6:30am, 10:30 pm and then at 2:00pm when he comes in my office to say hello(we work at the same prison) SO, I love "looking" at beautiful men! I have seen Jennifer Aniston in person on the Oprah show(I was in the audience)...Jennifer is size of my right thigh! seriously...she is tiny! (or I am fat, which I am, but )

I have started making my x-mas cards. I had to make a few and see which one I liked the best. I have my favorite, so now I'm off to mass produce about 75 or so. I also take a digital pic of my DD's to add to the cards. My cards are a blue theme this year, so I will make them dress acordingly to make my paper...I know..weird

I agree! I do enjoy reading about you all and your day when I get to check in most evenings.
