http://eventservices.disney.go.com/pintrading/eventPins?pageNum=01&start=01&disp=20&val=00&id=11866

The first one is for the 5th (since that's the night I'm going!) and the second one will list all of the pins for the specific dates.

So how's that work? I've never gotten any special release pins,,,but really like the 10/5 one??? Can I only get it certain places? Will it take up my party time?

Ive had these reservations for a while , but somehow missed this thread. I will be at Pop 9/28-10/03,w/ free dining as well, w/ DH , DD4, DS1 , FIL, MIL, and SIL. I requested the 50s building when i originally booked back in January (connecting rooms) , and especially now am hoping I get it .Maybe the CM will feel sorry for the preggo, and put me in building A, so I wont have to waddle to far to Classic hall or the parking lot

5 more days , I am so excited!!!

Welcome welcome!!!! We have a list floating around here about some meets we have planned. Check back soon adn maybe Michelle (pretty please) will repost them for you!
Hope to see you there!

Hi all,
Well whats new,what did i miss? Had a strange thing happen at the fire house last night,real strange.One of the guys,kevin is sitting watching t.v. with us,and it looks like his face is swelling right in front of us.So i asked hey kevin you feeling ok,he says he has a headache.Anyway someone went and got the chief and he drove him over to the e.r. it looked like he had a tomato under his skin by his lower right jaw line.It was weird it just started to swell real quick and out of no where.Everything turned out to be ok,but they said he had a cycst that got infectied and they had to cut and drain it,yummy!Anyway I owed him a day and he asked if i could cover him tonight,i could not say no.So i have to run to the fire house at 6pm to 2 am today and then its offical i'm off till oct 13!!!!!!!!Anyway kevin will be ok,they sent him home with antibiotics and pain killers and told him to get rest.So anyway whats new???

Wow, that's odd. Glad to know he will be ok!!!!
Isn't it great to have something as wonderful as a tript o WDW to look forward to?

Okay, I'm so stressed...First of all, I got a rejection letter in the mail today from that job interview on Tuesday. So I wasn't gonna take it anyway, but not even offered it? I feel so *rejected.*

Second, DH had to work today, so I'm just now getting started on my long list of stuff to do. I was trying to be supportive, but snapped at him on his way home. Third, (divert your eyes MrFDNY) AF is coming soon, so she'll be there the whole time at Disney.

Fourth, DISNEY DINING MADE ME CRY! So I call to change Spoodles ADR on the 28th to San Angel Inn at 6:15. There were so many openings. The people complaining are crazy. Anyway, I asked a question about my ressies being for 3 and if my mom takes DD it'll just be 2 of us, will that be a big deal? And she said she'd refer me to Dining Help or something, whose her superior. Then, she's like I see you have a double booking now for both Ohana on the 3rd and the Spoodles/San Angel thing. I had already told her I was going to cancel either Spoodles or San Angel once I talked to DH, but couldn't because he was at work. I'm double booked for Ohana, because one of the ressies includes my mother. She is still refusing to eat with us because she doesn't want to be intrusive on our vacation. So the ADR person is trying to get me to cancel one. I said I'd talk to my mom again. I'm thinking (you better not make me cancel one now, I had to call every day for two weeks for each of them!). So she refers me to the Dining Help or whatever and the lady starts out "So, we are talking today because you have this double booking for Ohana." And I say "No, we are talking today because I have a question about my daughter (you meanie)." Taking aback, she says "Oh." So I continue with the DD thing. She says it won't be a problem and starts to lecture me again about the double booking. I said, "yes, I understand, but I can't talk to my mom while I"m on the phone with you (meanie)." Anyway, she's lecturing me about how wrong it is, and I'm thinking I"M NOT PAYING 10 cents a minute for you to yell at me! Okay, I get off the phone and I"m so angry I start crying and call DH (get him this time) and tell him "Disney made me cry I don't want to go." I think I'll still go to Disney, but I"M WRITING A LETTER.

I am sorry about you being rejected. Look at it them doing you a favor! You didn't want the job so it really worked out for the best. Although, I can understand why you would feel that way.
I am also sorry about your ADR dilema. It is really frustrating because the people that do make it a habit to double book are ruining it for those of us who are tyriing to do it the right way. I would write a letter too. It isn't fair for you to be punished because of family situations and decisions. I guess it could be VERY possible for say a family of 4 to have 2 separate dining requests. I hope it all works out for you though!

ok I have to catch up from yesterday morning...but let me just say my day totally s**ked as well! Gracie had an 9 am soccer game, Casey had to be at the ice house by 8:40.....dh was up early working in the basement...& for got to wake me up!!!!!!

I must have drover over something in the gravel parking lot...ok no biggie, I went to Lane Tech HS I took auto shop, I can change a tire...so I am trying to get the car jacked up...the jack keeps sinking in the gravel/mud...it's so flipping wet out here I can't get the car up off the ground. Reluctantly call dh, can you please stop you "me man work party" and help me.

Seems like it is one of those days! Sorry about all of the chaos! Hey, at least you got Starbucks. That always makes my day a bit better!

 

[Nanu57v]

Ugh...more issues!!! I bought some new underwear (yes, purple)...WHY CAN"T I FIGURE OUT THE SIZES! (They were in a box). You can fit two of me in the size I bought. You think there'd be some sort of chart or something. No. And of course I can't return them.

 

[dreamergirl78]

Hi, everybody!

I finally have a minute to sit down with my computer. Jim is sleeping through Star Trek (but heaven help me if I try to change the channel), granddaughter has gone home, and it's finally peaceful and quiet!

I went out last night and bought a pair of Crocs. I hadn't planned on it, I really wasn't going to buy them, but after I tried them on again I decided that I'd give them a try. After all, they can't make my feet feel any worse than my old sandals do. So I wore them all day today, to granddaughter's soccer game, shopping, housework, etc. and my feet are great! I think I made the right choice! Of course, I also bought a new purse, and Old Navy was having a sale on tee shirts ($2.00!!!!), so I had to buy a couple of those, and Jim needed new sneakers (well, he still only needs one, but of course he had to buy both of them ) and socks. I really AM finished shopping now, because I'm running out of money!

You will love the Crocs, promise! My son and I both do! And wtg on the Old Navy bargains! 2 bucks is a good deal no matter how you slice it!

I hate it when that happens. I always buy mine from Victoria's Secret. I know my size and I KNOW they fit so I don't ever worry about that. Sorry yours didn't work!
Best bet is to give them to Salvation Army. *sigh* It's like money down the drain though huh?

So Ry lost his game today, which is ok. Can't win every one!
And now here is MY bit of weirdness for the day......
After the game 2 kids say they want to spend the night at our house. I say ok. (like an idiot). So the one mom says she has to go to work and will drop her son off at the other boy's house. The other boy's mom calls, gets directions to my house and we wait and wait. Well I hear the 2 boys outside and Ry runs out to meet them. I go out to talk to the parents and they DROVE OFF!!! Yes, not one word. So I call and get their voice mail. I say, I really would like to know what time you are picking them up because I have plans tomorrow and I need them to go home around 11. No call back. The other mom I do not know well at all. I do not have a phone number. She just let her son come over without even coming to my home to see how things are. This is just ODD to me. I would never drop Ry off at a random person's house. I know I am a good person but how can they be so sure? Are they that hard up for a night out that they don't care? I just don't get this kind of behavior. Maybe I am too protective of my kid, but damn....
Anyway, that's my vent. They are playing football right now and I ordered pizza. Maybe one of the mom's will call me oh sometime tonight?! Sheesh.

Sheesh and Geez!! I don't understand the parents behaviour at all. You are a good person but still! But for gosh sake they are their children! NO mumber??? I live in a not so safe place anymore in a burb outside Atlanta, and it amazes me that so many of my neighbors let their 3 to 6 year olds just run the streets until all hours of the night with no parents anywhere. My 6 yo gets mad cause I won't let her do the same. Such is life. Until I move somewhere safer, it ain't happening. And probably not even then. DH and I are looking to move out of Georgia in the next few months.

Oh, dear, I don't want to hear that! We're doing "Delta Connection" out of Killeen TX (about an hour from the house) to Atlanta, and then "real" Delta from Atlanta to Jacksonville!

Ooh. I didn't mean to alarm you. Here is my experience flying out of Hartsfield with Delta. I live in GA, and my family is on he west coast (CA) so I "used" to fly with Delta. Anyhoo, a few times, we would get all comfy our seats, and then you get hit with "no pilot". They are coming in from Peachtree City. That is like Pilotland, where most pilots live, especially Delta pilots since this is the Delta hub. I am bitter, cause I have missed many many connections, and have spent many many hours getting to CA, a few times without my luggage as well. BUT, since you are going straight from ATL to MCO it may be a non issue. I just have had enough east to west coast experiences to make me never want to fly them again. I would hate for them to keep you from the mouse

Yeah, that's what I usually do, and I got a large at VS. But I thought I could use a few pairs to "suppliment" my collection, and since there's no VS in town, I just got some from Wal-mart. I got large as well, but these larges are 2x the size. I told DH and he said the people who shop at VS are skinnier overall and that's why I'm a large there and a small at Wal-mart.

OH YEAH! You are much better than me! I will be apcking Thursday and Friday!

Yep... and still no call from either parent. What can I do but make sure the kids are as safe as possible.
Although I did get a huge compliment from one of them. He asked if I was SURE I was Ryan's Mom. And I laughed and said yes. He told me I looked more like his sister than his mom. He said I must only be 19 or 20! Bless his heart.
There are a lot of things our children are faced with everyday. Although I know it bugs Ryan that I am "mama bear" I can't help it. I want to make sure he is safe when I can control the situation!
Thank goodness you are a good parent too. They seem to be lacking now-a-days.

That makes sense. I kind of figure it this way. I am not TOO fat as long as my butt can still fit comfortably in VS undies!

We'll see....we usually fly American and don't usually have any trouble, but the plane fare into Jacksonville was better on Delta (no MCO this trip...which sucks, because I really like Orlando's Airport!). It seems like every time we go through Atlanta, we end up delayed, so it really wouldn't surprise me if something did happen! I'll just hope for the best!
