Real Life game/fun: Calling for a DisBoard Gamers DisMeet....first week Oct 2013

[PrincessInOz]

Thanks for adding us!!


By the way we can bring paper goods... Just let me know what to get.

I am thinking brownies for dessert... Maybe cookies too? Or Rice Krispie treats? Any objections or suggestions? Trying to think of things I can transport easily and will be ok if our room isn't ready right when we get there. I sure hope it's ready before we leave to meet ya all at the wave!

It's a pleasure. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Alison - I changed the reservation for Cape May over to 7 people. Our time changed to 8 am but that's fine with me.

The other thing I did whilst I had ADR on the line was book us in for the Fantasmic! dining package at Hollywood Brown Derby. For October 3rd, the time available is 3.50 pm. All the other times from 6 pm back were already booked!

I went ahead and grabbed that for a table of 6.
Fantasmic! is at 8 pm that night.

Wow, ALREADY BOOKED! We're glad to get what you did! I'm glad we planned it for Thursday, I would possibly not be at my hotel, never mind the Brown Derby by 3:50 on Wednesday! I should be, but you never really know with ME! Wednesday's 5:45 RR would be easy to get to!

Do you know where you are staying, Tiffany? You could always leave things with one of us at the BCV, since that's where the cookout will be!

I have Friday night booked at Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo house

Saturday night is booked right now but I am checking. It would be 14 points and I only have 3 so I would have to buy one time use points. Not sure if I can waitlist with one time use points (anyone know?). Hoping to get 2 nights so we can enjoy the resort some and since the dog will need to stay at camp til Sunday anyways

 

[TifffanyD]

Another thought... Allison... if you are still interested in renting points (not many though)... maybe I could have you book one night for us at Jambo or Kidani Savannah view and I can use my points to book the other and they can be linked? Or Saratoga?

 

[bobbiwoz]

You cannot waitlist with 1 time use points. I don't rent points, am 1/2 way through 2014's allotment right now!

I hope you get what you need! I agree, 2 nights is better than one!

hah I am through 2014 because of Aulani and Disneyland. I didn't expect this other mini trip. haha I know Allison was saying she had extra points she might want to rent out that's why I asked her.

I noticed that you did say Allison, just wanted to chime in! I am building up my post count to 50,000!

When I read that we were up to 9 people on the pontoon boat, I knew I had to act. That's one thing my sister Nancy would love to do, and so, today I told her about the meet and asked if she would be interested. YES! The 2 things she would like to do with us are the Wishes Fireworks cruise and the cookout. I think she would like the Wave restaurant before hand, but if it's too much to change the number there, I understand. She would most likely come with us and see if the extra person could be accomodated.

It turns out the chemo/radiation that she's helping a friend go through will be done the beginning of September,so the fellow will have a month to rest up, and I will get a room for them after I leave. They will be celebrating his birthday in Disney together. He'll come down after the meet, most likely on Sunday.

Bobbi

Every time we've been 10 + the captain was the number.

Sorry I haven't been online today. It was a sucky day. I was mad at Disney that were not any later spots for F! HBD seating and I might check back every so often just for the jollies of it, but Thank you PIO for securing that reservation. It's better than not getting a reservation at all. I haven't seen WDW's F! for literally YEARS so it will be a treat.

We also had some other sucky things happen like tenants having a water heater go out and the Plumber's schedule changed my morning from Fran driving me around in the morning to make a "walk through" meeting, to me having to meet the plumbers and they had STUPID news for us. The walk through turned out to cost 150% more than we had anticipated, but our contractor is being fair, it just sucks how much things cost.

Then Darcy and I had to move a really HEAVY cabinet that we bought at a thrift store yesterday (when we were really only there to donate stuff, but it was a deal that we couldn't pass up). After that we wiped grease and spaghetti sauce off the cabinet fronts with a toxic substance called TSP. We even had to use a knife to get some of it off. You need to wear latex dishwashing gloves so as not to burn your hands. Then Fran and I had a stressful and taxing appointment to attend.

I'm now making dinner at 9:00PM, since when I came home I found that one of our cats has taken to peeing on our kitchen countertops that have "stuff" on them. I had throw out a bunch of stuff, and now I have to find places to store "stuff" not on the counters, because it seems she is OK with clean counters, but doesn't like clutter.

OK after all that, I'm OK.

Tiffany, I have PLENTY of points and would love to help you out at a price less than the additional points, but I might have a problem with waitlisting as I have two waitlists going already. We can talk via email.

I think brownies or rice krispie treats are awesome, just the homemade rice krispie treats, the ones that are storebought taste like preservatives. I love the homemade ones especially with mixins (as long as they aren't almonds or walnuts).

If I sound at all catty, it's because of my day and no slight towards anyone here. We are going out for a wonderful dinner tomorrow night and I hope that we can relax and enjoy and destress from everything today. We have an appointment at the Wound Dr. Hopefully they will release Fran tomorrow. She better take a shower before we go since they take a picture for their "wall of fame" for healed patients.

Sorry you've had such a sucky day, Alison.

And I think we should check back on the HBD. I was going to check at the 45 - 50 day out mark; just in case there were cancellations.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Yes, I hope today is a better day, Allison!

 

[TifffanyD]

Hugs Allison! Hope today is better!!

OK so NO almonds or walnuts... anything else ppl can't have?


I definitely won't buy store bought treats -

Thanks ladies! Already the day has started out better, when I came over from sleeping in our remote bedroom (with the single cat household cat), Fran had mirepoix (well Cajun style) sautéing on the stove, with chopped ham and scrambled eggs waiting for me. She waited for me to start cooking the eggs so that they would be fresh (she knows I hate eggs that have been sitting around). That with some toast and orange juice I am ready to face the day!

It doesn't hurt that we are having dinner out at the park today and going shopping beforehand this afternoon.
