Pickle part II

[Piglets Mommy]

Go ahead...deck him...it will make you feel better. I yelled at mine last night and then I hit him with my brush this morning!

You yelled at that sweet man who will wear Eeyore Ears??? He must have needed his Grumpy shirt instead!

Now, if you find a deal on one or two day tickets, let me know. DH said we could go a day or two on the way back from Marco Island. Then I looked at the ticket prices per person for one day.

Ticket prices are crazy...If I lived close enough to go more often, I'd get an AP in a heartbeat...but for 4 days every 2 years, that doesn't make sense.

Poor Marky.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, he was wearing his Grumpy t-shirt when I yelled at him last night.

Poor Marky.

Poor Marky my big, fat a**!!!!

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Oh...They're good at that...Drives me nuts

We usualy have a big Christmas Open House in Dec....this year, it would fall 3 days after we get back from Disney...I told Brian we have to do it a different weekend, cause there is NO WAY I can get everything done before we go, and then in the 3 days after we are home, b/c I will also be trying to unpack, put away gifts we bought, wash, etc. He says we can, tha the will help....Yeah...like he hepled me get ready when we went away last weekend??? Cause i wound up just throwing my stuff in a bag at the last second, and left dirty dishes in the sink cause he did NOTHING to help get ready. MEN!!!

Grrr. That is annoying. I think I *will* deck him when he walks in the door tonight!! Just because.

Poor Marky my big, fat a**!!!!

Next time, for his own safety, tell him to whip out the Eeyore ears. There is no way I could look at that and not bust out laughing. NO WAY!

 

[Janet B]

I'm sorry you guys are having rain..I'd love a nice rainy day, but without lightening...hard to get one without the other here...I still get freaked with every storm...on the bottom of the TV screen always has a warning saying to "go to an interior room in the lowest level of the house"..."this storm has damaging winds and cloud to ground deadly lightening". EVERY STORM!!!

Hey, I'm going to be alone here for almost a week, who wants to come visit? I am TERRIFIED in the house alone at night. Yes, I'm a certified wimp.

Christine, if I didn't have work, I would jump in the car in a minute. I don't mind driving at all!

P.S. I hate lightning/thunder storms too, always did as a little kid.

Thank you. Mom is holding her own. I've got ten days but nine sleeps to go. I don't know where the time went.

I have bad headaches too. I know they hurt and are very annoying. Especially at work. I hope yours goes away soon. We are headed for a week of thunderstorms. Not looking forward to that. At all.

I'm so glad Mom is hanging in there.

I've gotten a lot of headaches over the years, the kind where I,m nauseous, and I have to just be in the dark. Yesterday's was definitely tension, although all headaches just suck! I went home and went to bed and feel so much better today.

Trac, wanna come here instead of Disney? No ADR's necessary...though I only make great meatballs and oatmeal cookies these days (Mia does all the cooking), there are no sites to visit, no good malls, and crappy cable TV...but the company would be out of this world!!!!

Of course, this offer is good to all Pickles.

I love meatballs and oatmeal cookies! I can bring along some fudge ...

Every time I am reading the boards and I see people talking about resorts and referencing BLT - Bay Lake Towers, I think of a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sammich.

I think of this too!

The plane has landed and they are on their way to get their bags!!

YEAH!!

Oh don't get me wrong. If I had a room super duper cheap, I'd be all over it like a wet blanket. I could get over the ugly really fast. I do cheap. Ya.

Wait. That doesn't sound right. At all.

I am to the point where I'm just going to cancel all the ADRs and wing it like we always do. I just don't care right now, I am so stressed about everything going on.

Oh, and I'm having a really REALLY fat day.

Keep the ADRs .... don't do dining plan, just wing it!

I have the really fat days too.

Oh...They're good at that...Drives me nuts

I'm with you on this one ... I love it when I'm the last one to get home and they all look at me and say what's for dinnerr??? Huh?!

He put the ears on the other night when Andy's girlfriend was over. She didn't believe he really wore them, so he wore them all night around the house. I thought the poor girl was going to you know what in her pants. She was laughing so hard I thought she would fall off the bed...and she's a tiny little thing...all 5'0" of her and 100 pounds! Look, there's a reason NOT to like Nicole...she's short and skinny!

Well lookie what the cat drug in!! Janet!

Serves him right then

Hey Kathy, why don't you take do one of those timeshare talks? Never done one, but if you can give them 2 hours, I believe you can get a free admission ticket.

 

[KatMark]

Well lookie what the cat drug in!! Janet!

And where has Christine been today? And Kari hasn't been around for a day or two? Have we been desserted?

 

[LuvvsMickey]

Probably! Sniff.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

I'm sorry I'm so late today, my pickle friends.

This may have already been answered, but I...oh dear...skimmed.

Because I'm a nut about added tx and always book room only it's one of those trivia questions I happen to know.

12.5%, 13% for the All Star Resorts. I heard it is also 13% for AKL, but not 100% sure about that.

Sooo, tell me about the codes around and saving money for a Girls Trip????

OHHHH...I SO NEED A GIRLS TRIP!!!! ...sigh...

 

[KatMark]

Serves him right then

Hmm....didn't know that. I'll have to look into that. But not sure DH wants to do one of those talks--we did one once in Vegas and he HATED it. He'd definitely would have to be wearing his Grumpy shirt then....probably the one that says "I'm with Dopey" -- which would, obviously, be me since I'm the one he's going with.

[Janet B]

Hey, thanks Tracy! Actually, I'm feeling pretty good today ... woke up this mornin', didn't have to come into work until 1pm ... My friend couldn't watch my DD (Samantha) today, so I got to bring her to band camp this AM and got her lunch, before heading in. Now if all days coulnd be this like ... and I get to play on the DIS a little more today ... not so busy today. All and all a GREAT DAY!

Hi to all the pickles!!

Almost did one in Busch Gardens, VA one year, but we ended up not going on the trip.

I looked into this last year, when we were all talking about going to Disney, and as my son wanted to go to Universal, I was wondering if a day or two would work. BUT, I decided NO WAY could I just do a day or two if I was down in FL.

Yep, if you guys wear those shirts, maybe they will take pity on you and not push you too much ... A friend of mine did this a few years ago (over the thanksgiving holiday - she was nuts!!) and she found out about it in a newspaper ad regarding the timeshare deal ... I believe it may have been the Celebration hotel.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Janet, so good to hear you are feeling better today. Do you work until 9 p.m.?

Kathy - hope work is better for you today as well...I cannot believe it's already Wednesday..

OH!! Hey, I have a pickle decision and could sure use some opinions ASAP - you all know we're going to Savannah for 2 ngts....well, originally we book the Holiday Inn Express - it's #1 rated on Trip Advisor, great location, decent rate, 2 queen beds. BUT the last week new reviews have not been so great and the main thing we've noticed that would make a difference for us is guest service - poor to terrible. Also valet parking is a $15 a day charge, no opt out. http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/ex/1/en/hotel/savex

So we went through LOADS of B&B reviews (as we did for hotels) and decided on this one:
http://zeiglerhouseinn.com/savannah-bed-breakfast-lafayette.html - this is the room we would have...more photos under the large one. It does not have a hot breakfast but rather the night before the owner delivers fresh baked goods to your room and the fridge is stocked with cold drinks, water, snacks etc. Also a fresh baked goodie in the evening. Centrally located, but not as good as the Holiday Inn Ex.

Today we've been having second thoughts - if we cancel the Inn it must be done TODAY or we get charged for a one ngt stay. $200. It also include free parking and a parking pass. A very charming area of the historic district. Oh, the Inn does not have 2 beds, so we'll have to share a king, but we can survive that...well, there is a love seat that is a twin bed, but that doesn't sound too comfy for either of us.

If we cancel the B&B we will save $50.

Okay, my friends..have a look and let me know your thoughts, please? Thank you!!!

A hundred pounds eh? Whatever!

Yeah, maybe we should wear the shirts. Or we've got ones that our Mickey Mouse (Main Cheese) and Minne Mouse (Main Squeeze) we could wear. Are we weird or what? We're over 50 years old and still wearing ridiculous t-shirts.

Janet, so good to hear you are feeling better today. Do you work until 9 p.m.?

I don't believe anything Trip Advisor says--they hate MOST Disney resorts and especially my favorite. I looked athe pictures of both, and I like the Holiday Inn Express MUCH better.
