MAY 12th-19th!! THESE ARE THE MAYS OF OUR LIVES! II

Hey RF - sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time with the photographer.

Here is a suggestion:

Write him a short, but courteous email explaining to him that you are not confident that he is able to meet your expectations in quality and service. Send him links to other photographer's web sites and tell him that you expecting this kind of quality. Also, let him know that you are upset his racial comment...something to the effect of "I was deeply offended when I heard you say...". Finally, remind him that your wedding is a few weeks away and that last night's photo session with him left you with very little confidence that he would perform his services and act in a professional manner and that you would like a response from him today on how he can resolve all of this.

This doesn't have to be long email, maybe 8-10 sentences. The shorter the better. Be direct and to the point and try to leave emotion out of it. The more business like the note is, the better.

I wouldn't be surprised if he tore up the contract after reading your note because most people don't confront. I hope this helps you.

Sorry you are put in this situation so close to your wedding RF. I agree with JO, have at least 1, maybe 2 people in your family take LOTS of pictures at your wedding with a digital camera. Some of the best shots might be the ones that aren't professional. Plus you can fix almost any digital shot look great after edits and enhancing!

I just ate the burger there which was fine. They did not have a fixings bar like pecos bill. I really like their fixings bar. (Buffet, I know.) But I love that I can eat as many pickles as I want at Pecos Bills.

I hope we like Electric Umbrella better than we liked Pecos Bills. I know, I know, everyone LOVES Pecos Bills. I think we just had a bad experience there. We went there for lunch on our very first trip in 2005. It was so stinking hot in there you couldn't hardly stand it! And it was very VERY crowded. Here we were with heavy trays of food & drinks searching for a table, everytime we found one it wasn't cleaned off yet from the last person. We finally gave up and cleared one ourselves just so we could sit down. And then there were only 3 chairs at it. So I just can't get DH to try it again yet.

I figure we will get an early lunch at Electric Umbrella on our Epcot day because we an ADR at LeCellier for dinner that night!

We try to go to Pecos Bills around 11:15, (before it fills up.) We have never had a problem with it being hot in the dining area. Our tip for CS is that we tell my DH what we want to eat. He orders for the entire family while I take the kids and find a table to sit down. Often there is a napkin, ketchup dispencer near our table. After the kids are seated, I get the ketchup and napkins, etc. while the kids sit together. Now that the children are older, I often sit at the table and watch them get the ketchup and napkins.

Here is my other tip:

My DH and I often order the double cheese burger meal. We order an extra drink and a bun, I think an extra bun is something like 15 cents. So it saves the family a couple of $$$. Doing this. I can never eat all of my fries so this works out great for us.

Hope this can help someone!

NC!!!

They have raised the price of an extra bun to $1.99!!!!!!!!!

We usually eat lunch between 11:15-11:30 or so- and miss allllll that lunchtime traffic. Hummmmmmmmmmmmm...I wonder where we learned that from??????????

Has everyone heard about the stroller rental increase????

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I don't remember what time we ate at Pecos that day. Must have been rush hour!

We usually eat lunch around 11:00 or so, except on the days we have a breakfast ADR.

I can remember hearing that Casey's Corner was great but it was always crowded and there are never any seats left inside. We went there right around 5:00 and there was no wait, and plenty of seats. So I guess it just depends on your luck!

 

[NewCrew42]

I knew my bun had increased. I never thought about Disney increasing theirs too!!!

 

[JoBird]

How much are YOU willing to pay for those buns??????????????????

I wonder if Disney is into haggling with it's prices???

We went to EU on our last day to WDW. The burgers and fries were quite good. The place was clean and well kept up. The best part: You could get your own drink refills!

BTW, just for comparison, food and drinks are less expensive at WDW than DL.
A coke will cost you $2.79 at DL, and at WDW $2.09. That is quite a difference!

Actually, I am like Huggie, the size of my bun has decreased.

Who ever heard of a $2.00 bun? Good grief!

Those are what you call "High dollar buns"....



My bun has, alas, increased...
to go right along with Disney.

Mari - must be sick today.

I was thinking the same thing. . .

 

[JoBird]

Poor Mari. I hope she feels better soon. Hurry back Mari! We want you to come back soon! We miss you!


In other news...

I PM'ed DMM this morning b/c I ws starting to get worried about her.

She wrote back and said that Roman's surgery wasn't as successful as they were hoping it would be. She is taking a break from everything, it seems, and wanted me to tell you all that she misses the MAYers and she will be in soon to catch up.

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I was just thinking about her today. That's terrible. I sure hope things turn around for the poor little guy.

JO, Did you ever get ahold of JC?
