I'm not big into the margaritas, honestly I don't know if I have ever had a margarita. Now fudge, cream cheese pretzels, pb cups, pina colavas, I'm up for those.

.

I think I can handle that as well!

I think we're actually going to try that this year! We never take the time to get a drink in Epcot other than the Grand Marnier slushie in France, which are quite wonderful too!

They are strong from an alcohol content. I think they are like two regular drinks in one, so if you are a light weight, split one!!! I guarantee I will not be splitting mine with anyone. They are really tasty though. They do not taste like any other drink I've ever had before!

Hi all! We got back on sunday with the unfortunate news landing in Baltimore that "it is currently 37 degrees with light winds" Boo. Hiss.

Trip was overall great. Blake and I still were trying to use snack credits when we grabbed a peppermint latte at Target on Tuesday. No fair.

I'm going to try and get an update in tonight. My co-worker went on maternity leave on monday when I got back and it has been crazy busy with just me now.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Welcome home! LOL about using snack credits at Target! Real world adjustment can be very difficult!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Welcome home!!

I can't wait to hear about how your trip went.

 

[MEK]

What??????? No snack credits at Target???????

So great to meet you last week and I can't wait to hear all about your trip! Coming back to reality for me was quite jarring. I was not ready to leave at all. We ending up staying at AK from park open to park close on Saturday. I can't believe it? But I was determined to ride EE in the dark and it was seriously fun. I was so exhausted on Sunday I could barely get going.

Looking forward to the start of your TR!

Oh it totally was! I miss having Free Dining already, especially when I had to go to the grocery store too!! Ouch!

Welcome home!!

Aw thanks LL!! I fell asleep so early last night, so definitely first update tonight!

So good to meet you too!! Totally wish we could have rode some rides together, but Blake and I are still contemplating that October trip next year, so may see ya again!

I know..bah, it totally SUCKED coming back. Flying over Bmore, everything just looked so brown and dead and dull! Our flight got in at 11:15 on sunday, and Blake and I just felt miserable, tired and no warm weather. So cool you crossed EE in the dark off your to-do list. I may or may not have ridden it Can't wait until you start your TR too!!

Welcome Home Jess!! I can't wait to hear all about your trip! It sounds like you had an amazing time!!!!! Merry Christmas!!

 

[MEK]

Hope you had a great Christmas and I can't wait to see the start of your TR. I finished my last HHI update so its on to December some time this week.

Just one question - Did you have the Disney blues as bad as I did this past week. I felt almost unbearable, despite having an awesome trip. I just couldn't get out of the "I want to go back now" funk.

So glad you guys are contemplating an October trip. Please keep me up to date on that front so we can plan a meal or something together!

 

[Roxychica7]

Hi all-
SO SO sorry for the lack of updates. I have good excuses. On friday before we left to go to Blake's house for Christmas, my computer died. The power source went and we're still waiting for the part to come in, so no computer access since before Christmas. I am DYING to get updates in for you all!

And on top of that, the same day, while going to work, my temperature gauge shot up to the top. No check engine light. So I pulled into work, got a chemistry guy to help me look at some things and noticed that I had no coolant in my radiator and my oil was looking really weird. I left my car in the gate at work, went to Blake's for Christmas and came back tuesday and got my car towed. Come to find, I had a crack in my engine.

Good news? My dad kept a 2010 recall notice on my car and the total cost to fix it $7,300 was completely covered by the Honda dealer. Thank. You. Lord.

So, I got my car back today, but still waiting on my computer.

But I really hope that you all had a great holiday and new years! I miss you all and can't wait to get back to update and start this trip report!!!!

 

[Roxychica7]

Welcome Home Jess!! I can't wait to hear all about your trip! It sounds like you had an amazing time!!!!! Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you to Jen!! Thanks for much for the Christmas card! It was so awesome getting cards from all my Gnomies!

I can't wait to start my TR either!! Once my computer comes back (see above post) I'll be ready to get it together! I had wanted to start so much of my report while I was off most of this last week!

Oh totally. The weather coming back here and not having the dining plan and being in the parks totally wa a downer. Even with it being so close to the holidays, I just couldn't shake those Disney blues!

Yeah we are thinking about it. It's hard though because it will be weird not seeing the Christmas decorations but from what you and others have said, Halloween is just as great! I will definitely keep you updated on what we decide to do!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Happy Belated Holiday Wishes, Jess! Thank goodness those car repairs were covered -- at that price, if they hadn't been, you would have been better off getting a whole new car. Yikes!

 

[MEK]

Well Jess - I am glad it was just your computer and your car that had you MIA because I was starting to worry about you.

I'm so glad your car was covered under warranty. I had a big Honda bill on something that my DH did not think should have broken on a car of its age (not a recall and not under warranty) and he contacted them. They actually refunded part of what we paid for repairs.

I worry all the time about my mac going down because it is old and I really don't want to spend the money now for a new one. Hope your computer is as good as new!!!!!

I'm already on my first day at MK so you'll probably be in the next update. Get ready!

I know!! I got SO lucky on that recall! I was in the grocery store when my dad called to tell me the price, and I was just about to put my groceries back before he told me it was all covered!

Aw thanks MEK! Still no computer..totally sucks, I'm getting so antsy to write my report and share all the delicious food porn! Honda has treated us well, my parents and I have always had Honda's, I just love them and plus, it doesn't hurt that I get over 40 mpg!

 

[Roxychica7]

Oh the dreaded news about my computer has come. It's not the powercord. It's my memoryboard. My computer has died.

Fortunately, my dad's friend at the Firestation is an Ex-Navy and computer geek and is in the process of building me a new computer. He said it should be done within the week. He's giving me a 5 year warranty on it and my parents are giving it to me as an early birthday present, thus saving Blake and I from another nasty bill! Thankfully, I didn't lose my memory cards or anything on my hard drive including my pictures. So, once we're all together and I get my computer back, I am determined to get this trip report on the road!!

Thanks everyone for your patience. I promise I will get it started right away!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, no! Sorry to hear about your computer, but thank goodness for your dad and his friend! This computer sounds like it will be even better than the one you had before!

 

[MEK]

Jess - come back!

How's the computer situation?

Is it time for an update?

Please.
