I hate it!! The traffic is terrible. We don't even leave the house on race day. They have two big races a year and oddly enough one is usually around my dad's birthday and the other around my fil's birthday. My inlaws have joked about renting out their house race weekend and staying at a hotel. Now that they have so much money in parts for their appliance repair business, they can't do that. At the TSM they have a building with condos and business in it. When the TSM was first open, the DH had a job in that building. We got to go to a cart-type race for free b/c we could sit where he worked and watch it.
So, this may be a really dumb question, but what is a DQ? I'm sure it's not Dairy Queen, like I was thinking when I first read that.
WOO HOOI was just talking to my DH about y'all last night. Something about the fact that your DH would have to be redeployed so soon just got on my nerves. I didn't tell my DH what I said you should tell the person that makes that decision. Before I could tell him he said, "you should tell her to go up to the person that makes that decision and say 'Listen here Mr. Army-man, my husband is going to Disney World with me and nobody messes with my Disney trip' while she's giving him an evil go to heck look. Then he was like, "that guy must be an idiot for even thinking about messing with her Disney trip and deserves any wrath he gets from her if he does."
The thing is, this is the first time we were going to use that money like this. Like the first time in about 12-13 years. My DH started school in early 1999 and I started school when he ran out of money for his last class to get his 2nd Master's degree.
We just leave the house as little as possible the week leading up to the race. The day of, we don't leave the house unless we have no other choice. My inlaws used to try and be away for those weekends, but then noticed they would always come home about the time the races were letting out.
Will adding him to the ADRs cause y'all to have to go up to a bigger table, where it could cause you to not be able to have the same times that you have now? I hope your able to work it all out. Some people just don't realize how much work goes into planning a WDW trip. What would be a minor no biggy change on any other trip, can be a big deal on a WDW one.
I hate race weekend traffic, so we have to get to the track 3 or more hours before it starts and then its only heck when we are leaving after the race is over.
DQ is Disney Quest
It's tough having to deal with a civilian employer as well as the Army. When the Army speaks, I listen, whether I like it or not, but when the civilian employer speaks, I want to fight back. This guy is a nobody, he makes the driver schedules, I don't really know why my husband is even answering to him, he says it's because his real boss is so busy, but this guy is the one who told him that if he wanted some time in June, so his parents could come, not to worry, now he's being a jerk. My husband isn't asking for anything but 3 days off, and he doesn't ask off much nor does he ever call out or not show up like other people there.
Sounds like someone has a little bit of power, and must have had someone in the Army kick his rear end in the past, and he's taking it out on your DH. Is this person the only person that can make that decision, or is there someone else he could talk to. If you were closer to be, I would come and be your back up when you explain to this guy what a pathetic waste of oxygen he is.
I don't really know how much power this guy has, but he's a jerk. I don't know if he has ever had any dealings with the Army or not, but if he tries to give my Dh trouble about it again, I will get someone from the Army involved. Yeah, he is a waste of oxygen.
I just got a big box from Disney Store online, they had a sale and I bought a bunch of stuff, nothing for the trip, because I can't wear their t-shirts. I didn get an iPad sleeve, some Christmas ornaments and a Christmas door hanger. DH got several Cars 2 die cast cars. I bought him the set of Mater Monster Cars for Easter. We were going to go to the Disney Store outlet again in 2 weeks when we go to Atlanta, but that got scrapped and we are going to Birmingham this weekend, they closed their Disney Store about 2 years ago, makes me sad.
