No news yet. It may even be in Disneyland for all I know, which would be REALLY cool since I've never been there.




Disneyland would be awesome. Maybe dd and I make it before she graduates college. Must say I don't care if it is smaller. There is a castle!

Crazy, huh??? It's so sad too. This guy had a really good job with a nice 6-figure salary as such a young guy. And to get involved in drugs, etc.... Either it's stupidity or greed. But now none of it matters because he is in jail.

This is a great family neighborhood....hopefully his house goes up for sale and a nice family moves in.



Yuck! Feel better soon!



You're telling me! But, no waking up to flash grenades this morning...

I am having a Wookie issue....my darn ticker is a day behind...but only on my iPad? On a computer, it's correct. Whatever....2 days to go!!!!

The house below me was bought by someone for rental income guess he didn't look into the renter very well. It's since sold again, and now a family is in it.

Thanks



Sorry!

Hi! Have a good trip



I just got my FP+ but no MB's. I assume by annual pass is why.



Sorry about your tickets, I know I would be really annoyed. Hopefully you will get on all the rides you desire.



A trip alone

HI to all I missed! I spent too much time with my FP+ this morning. To get rides and times I wanted took a lot of canceling and changing.

I have to figure out if I can do FP+ for our January trip. May be too early yet? We have MBs from August, and we have APs. They put our AP on the MB.

They just released November's trips for FP+ yesterday. We will have to be patient for our January trips

Good morning everyone! On my way to work. We had a fabulous weekend going apple picking in New Jersey and then to the Freehold mall for lunch and the big sporting goods store with a phallic name which it won't let me type because it gets censored.

Apple picking sound so much fun!! We used to have a place we could do that near us, but I heard they closed down.

I have a wrench being thrown into my Disney plans. My agency is planning a conference for the summer. However, I think I may have to leave my kids home and go solo for that because I wouldn't have anyone to watch the kids during the meetings anyway!

I saw an add on FB about a certified Disney travel agency that was hiring. I asked the DH about it, and he won't let me apply....even for part time. He thinks it will be too much on me for now.

Question
What is everyone's opinion on LTT for dinner? I been considering dropping my BOG since we ate there last year and from the pictures/reviews I have been seeing it looks like the food quality has gone down and the prices have gone up.

Bob loves his meat and Will enjoy LTT I think more

We have only done lunch at LTT, but we really loved dinner at BOG. JM and I didn't really care for the mac and cheese, but that was the only issue with the food. I could have honestly probably gotten the green beans as an entree. I just loved them!! I would go back just so I could get the lemon cupcake again.

Wookie, you can still call lost & found and give the details. Ya never know, it may have been turned in.

I'll have to Google it and see if I can find the number.

Hi Peeps!

My headline news for the day...guess who's making a last minute trip to FL? Moi! Have been mulling over options for the last 2 weeks (at one point the auto train), and with work, school, YIKES a lot going on... BUT... that AP just was too much! That and a few other factors ....

Background, my sis will be in Disney (she leaves tomorrow), taking a solo trip for F&W, staying at the POP. Was not planning on joining her as we were just there in August, but another factor in the equation is that my DS Paul is in Florida (not Orlando, too bad, cant have everything ) so I can combine the quick trip with my sis and the both of us taking a road trip to see Paul for a day!

I'm so EXCITED!! Hoping to meet up with Ginny on Sunday, Monday will be gone all day and Tuesday back in the parks, departing Wednesday.
I feel so blessed to be returning so soon, especially with the December trip on the horizon. I have a wonderful DH, and Sam is at the age that she has her own thing with School and the Band, both are happy for me, so I'm free to go!!

So, Candace and Melissa, any chance to meet up??

That is awesome news!! Congrats on the last minute trip!!

3 MORE DAYS!!!!!!

And, it can't come soon enough...this morning, I was awoken at 5:24 am, by what sounded like an explosion. I live on a dead end, cookie cutter cul-de-sac neighborhood, very quiet....

I looked out the window to see marked and unmarked PD vehicles, ambulances (all turned off and silent) and then SWAT And DEA armored vehicles...

FBI agents soon arrived on MY STREET...my quiet little street!

Well, FB was a buzz with my neighbors because we were all woken by the blast...

Turns out that one of our neighbors, one that has lived there for about 2 years and none of us knows...was taken down for drugs, weapons and money laundering!!!! It was a planned raid carried out before the sun rose...wow, just wow....

No one was really surprised though, it was a 20-something kid who owned the house (and even though he bought it foreclosed 2 years ago, it was still $210k paid in cash). Did some major reno's and kept it super nice, drove brand new Mercedes, etc....obviously something was going on. He worked for a big investment firm in Boston and was laundering the money through them....

Just goes to show....it can happen anywhere....

Omg, how terrifying!!

Finally turned the corner last night and starting to feel better. No appointments or errands today so sitting on the couch, catching up on life. Shhhh, don't tell anyone

Sent from my iPad using DISBoards

I'm glad your feeling better. I hope you get back up to 100% soon.

Our dates are September 21-29 (adding on a day too! lol). split stay at CR/AKV for now anyways!

Sounds like a great split!! Do you know what views you are going for?

So my dad who swore he'd never go back to WDW again says to me yesterday that maybe he could convince mom to come with us for my bday trip and then he could give her that as a anniversary gift. He knows she likes it and she WILL NOT go anywhere without him anymore. Of course we'd love it if they came, but uhhhh, earth to dad... ADRs, ressies... I gotta dust off my best RC hat here and investigate. ..........Since DH and I just picked SSR to cross it off our list, we're not attached to our resort pick. So far, a SSR treehouse is available. Or ummmm... BLT has a 2-br villa available. ..........But I gotta see about that CG ressie for 2, though. I've made a CG ressie for March so it wouldn't be that much of a bummer. Well, yes it would. Hoop-de-doo would be nice with them for dinner. This is ALL subject to change, though and I am not cancelling any of my current "stuff" yet.

Well, maybe your parents could have dinner on their own the night you have a CG ADR, if you can't add them.

DD is done, just waiting to take her home. DH is with her. I will feel better when I see her. All went well tho. I can't thank you enough for your support everyone.

I'm glad it went well.

so...brightening my day (along with this dentist debacle being over now) is I was just able to do FP+ for our trip!!!

Sheila: Have u tried??

I just cannot get Magicbands to come up yet!

Have you done online check-in yet? If you have re-do it. I wasn't able to customize our MBs when others were able to do it staying at the same resort at the same time were able to. Someone from the September FB group suggested to do that, and it worked for me.

Dh has to visit his dad in fla again. He went in for surgery in July but still in icu and not doing well. He is down to about 100 lbs.

Dd18 has been great. First born grand children are so good. She face times them and texts and sends cards from college.

So my good news dd coming home this weekend but dh leaving tomorrow for fla to see his dad.

I'm sorry the fil isn't doing well. Sending prayers.

I just was able to customize our MB's

I have until 10/4 to make changes and already thinking of changeing my color from. Pink to orange or maybe yellow ? This is so bad

I loved my green one!!

So I'm already planning for this conference. I told my mom she will have to watch the kids because I have to go solo. I didn't ask because she will come up with an excuse. I also told her that I am going to add an extra day on to my trip so that I can enjoy a day (but I'm probably going to add 2, 1 at the beginning and 1 at the end that's our secret). She tried to convince me that I should cancel my Easter trip since I have the conference, but in all honesty the conference will be super cheap. I can use my TA discount if we don't get a group rate, I will have an AP, and I only need to pay for myself. I'm actually SUPERRR excited because I have been wanting to do a solo trip FOREVERRR. This is my chance!

Sounds like you'll have a great time!!

Nothing new going on around here. Since we will probably be low on kids, I will more than likely have Friday off this week.

Oh and I started walking on the treadmill. I'm only doing 20 minutes, but I don't want to push it at first. Although, I did up the speed I had the treadmill at today by an extra 0.2 . I know it's not a huge jump, but it did take 2 minutes off my lap time. I'm not worried about losing a certain amount of weight or clothes size by my girl's only trip, I just want to be in better shape before dong the Epcot Death March twice in a long weekend trip.

Well it's almost 11:30 PM, and my DH is still playing XBOX with Joey. I guess I'll have to be the adult and tell them to get to bed. Since this is a Disney site, I will change Robbin Leach's quote to "May you all have Grand Marnier Orange Slush wishes and Mickey Ice Cream Bar dreams".

Night all you lovelies.

 

[disneydreamin247]

Kim what are they playing?! lol I played minimal Call of Duty today. It seems like my days off are more hectic than the ones I work!

Travel planning may actually be a good gig because you set your own hours, and if you don't have clients you don't have work to do. I like it a lot. The only difficult thing is cultivating your clientele. It's rough at times. Message me on Facebook which agency it was. Some of them aren't great to work for.

Wookie

No surprise you picked green for MB

I picked red


Good for you treadmill

I like to walk before trips too. Just to get from front of park to tomorrow land then the ever ending tunnel just to get on SM

 

[trishadono]

I didn't realize the day of my arrival 11/8 is Mickey xmas party. Can I stay in the park and watch the parade?

 

[Mousemommy1]

Tomorrow is Disney Day!!!!

 

[Janet B]

Morning Peeps!!

Candace, For one more Day!!!

Trish, Have a fabulous time with DD this weekend. Sad about your DFIL, hopefully seeing your DH will give him strength.

Dani, hope you can make that conference a go! I agree with Melissa, you deserve both trips!

Sue, feel better

Pas, is it October 20th yet? Hoping the homework is finished (for now) and that in between your non stop work schedule you might get a breather to enjoy the beautiful weather we've been having.

Candace, very scary and sad on the neighborhood raid. It's everywhere and just highlights that there's a lot that goes on behind white picket fences...

Sheila, too funny about the MB, certainly we can BC (band change ) I have pink, Sam blue (mind you these are the bands we didn't use since we didn't switch over to POP in August). I was holding a tentative ressie in mid Sept (that I cancelled) but not in time not to receive 3 more MB (grey). I'm getting a collection of them!

Wookie, thanks for the good wishes! I'm super psyched to get to FL and to see Paul.. BTW Sam's HS is hosting a band competition Saturday so I will be very busy until I leave. Will try to post some pix of the event.

 

[Janet B]

So we can all feel like we are there, here are some pix from our sweet Ginny this morning

Their fabulous WL view....



And the geyer this AM...



They willl be checking into the YC today.

You're welcome! Hoping to get see more AND be included in a pix with Ginny real soon!!

I really am excited though. I'm going to have the BEST TIME EVER! (In Rapunzel's voice )

Thanks



Sorry!

[i_heart_the_mouse]

Hey girls! My Magic Bands arrived today so I thought that was a sign that I should check in with my favorite DIS gals

Ginny - Hope you are having the time of your life! Love the pix!

Candace and Melissa - Tomorrow is D-Day!!!!! I can't wait to hear some F&W reports. Nom, nom, nom!

Janet - How fabulous that you get to sneak in an unplanned trip. Enjoy!

Dani - Laughing my butt off over the D references. DL would be cool, but a solo WDW would be pretty amazing just the same.

Jenny - I didn't notice an update. How is your FIL? I hope he has improved. And good to hear DDs appointment went well.

wookie - Yay for a girls trip! Sounds awesome!

Miss - How did I forget we overlap in October. Derp! We need to meet up! We are MNSSHPing (I know, not a word but whatevs) on 10/27. What about you guys?

Magic - So what's the final plan? Are the folks still joining you? Resort?

trish - Hugs for your FIL

Sheila - I'm locked out of BOG lunch FP too. I had one for August but canceled last minute, now it keeps saying I already participated.

Sue M - Felling better yet? I hate being sick.

pas and lacey- Hi!

Sorry to anybody I missed Take care everybody! I can almost see the weekend from here
