Singles Social Club: It's Always 5 o'clock here!

[ctnurse]

hola my little sombreros!
I have returned from my week long stint in Puerto Rico. I have to officially thank my boss for sending me down there. it was awesome and the training I had to do went really well. I ate some great food, and got to spend some time at the resort and channeled our resident Pyrate and took some cool shots.
I actually got to see the Bacardi rum factory and taking a page again from our favorite Pyrate, brought some home with me....(if he's nice I might share..)
So I know that everyone had to do something cool this weekend....let's hear it!!

Glad you had a great trip. Over the weekend I was looking at DCL and one of the ships stops in Puerto Rico, thinking about a DCL next Winter. The Bacardi rum factory might make the to-do list. Everytime I take a trip I always seem to stumble upon a winery or brewery. I guess Rum factory would count!

I'm baaaaaaack! haha. Finally got settled into a place and it has stupidly fast internet so I can catch up on things going on around here! I took my DF to DL Sunday/Monday on a whim and she had a blast! She'd never been but fell in love with it! I finally conquered my last mountain too! Got to ride BTMRR for the first time and loved it! I can't believe I waited so long to go on it, but in my defense it was always closed or had a stupidly long line. haha. Hope everyone had a great weekend! The bar is now hosted again by your ever friendly bartender(For you newbie's that's me! haha) so pull up a stool, grab a drink, and join in the party that is the SSC!

Glad you are back. How are wedding plans coming? Hopefully you are settled now!


Welcome to all the new folks. I think that everyone has basically covered what goes on around here. I'm not even sure at times, and I've been around a while.

So what is new with everyone? Everything is basically the same. I have to plan my DS 8th birthday. I can't believe my baby will be 8 this month. I also have to pack this weekend. I'm going to Europe for St. Patty's Day.

Spring might also be here. It is suppose to be 60 degrees today. We also turn the clocks forward this weekend, so more sun in the afternoon. It will be 7 o'clock and still light out. Summer can't be far behind.

One last thing not sure if the new folks know about the Oct meet, the weekend of Oct 13. I know I will be there as well as some other SSCers.

Hope everyone has a great day.

:
so let me get this straight.... your break/escape from the crazy people you work with, is to come to the crazy people of the SSC? Why do I get the feeling most people wouldn't quite understand why escaping from crazy people to more crazy people would be refreshing?

it makes perfect sense to me, the crazy people here, are an amazingly fun group of crazies

 

[NJDiva]

I'd like a concensus, do you think the Passporter for WDW is a good buy? Is it worth getting?

I'm thinking about getting the deluxe because I'm going this year and next.
Thanks guys!

ummmm.....YEAH!!! most of us here have one and it makes life soooooooo much easier, especially if you decide to go last minute or you want to go MNSSHP/MVMCP. love the ease of it and when you have one or two things you want to do in one park, you just go to the next one. if you vacation there one week and park hop it has paid for itself so basically any trip after that is "free".

I was considering buying the deluxe version but the refills are the same price if not more expensive than a new regular version. So I'm just getting the regular version.

If you aren't driving, then honestly your best option is going to be a Disney hotel because of the shuttle and included airport transportation. But... cost can be a killer.

Outside of that, one of the hotels along Hotel Blvd (the old Hotels between 535 and Downtown Disney) might work, or The Hilton/Waldorf complex at Bonnett Creek or the Wyndham Grande at Bonnett Creek.... or the Wyndham Bonnett Creek timeshare resort. They'll be cheaper than "equivalent" accomodations at an Official Disney resort, their shuttles are decent to the parks, but i don't know about the airport transport. The nice option with the timeshare resort is that you also get a full kitchen, so you could save some money on food by eating meals at the resort before you go (like breakfast), and have a fridge/etc for any table service leftovers you may get.

Sounds good looks like I've got my home work which is good as I have not got my kids till Sunday night... So it'll keep me out of trouble for a while. It's a long weekend here in Melbourne (mondays a holiday day) so at least I get a full day with my babies on Monday :0)
I've got tickets to see The Chorus Line- a musical on sat night, so I'm going to china town for dinner first... I've treated my MIL to the tickets thankfully we remained close after the split from her son.

14 nights in disney?

*be's jealous*

14 nights doesn't seem enough when it's going to take 24 hours to get there!!! My flights with UA from Melbourne are all over the place. Fly to Sydney 2 hour connection bfr onward flight to San Fran then 4 hour connection before onward flight to MCO.

Disney inspired I'm tipping I'll need that full day by the pool to get over the travel.

Diva I'm glad u like crazy people I think I'll fit right in!!!

Tara thanks for the tip I have no clue about DVC points so it gives me even more to look into this weekend :0)

Ahoff- Ive already registered for my run but unfortunately haven't any official runs to list timings though I'm hoping to do it in 1.5 hours. I ran 5k in 24 mins on Monday but I need to start running more regularly to build strength to do the full 16k which is 10miles. I'm pretty fit so I'm hoping I'll go fine I'm not going to take it too seriously though I don't think.

CTnurse I leave on 4oct to fly home to Melbourne what a shame I'll just miss out :0(

Right now my justification is that I live here. In the past my justification was that I took more than 2 - 5-day trips a year. . .It just made sense.

all I have looked at the boards for a while & figured since I am newly single this is best place to meet people. When I have tried to explain being such a Disney fan to other people they just look at me like I am crazy. I don't want to convert a man to love Disney I want to meet one that already does.

Hello, neighbor! Glad to see someone else from the Sooner State!

Same here! I want a Disney freak for a husband, or at least one with a great love of it.

Hi Darcy, Everything is fantastic and I can't wait for my trip! We have to meet up again soon! It was a blast!

to the SSC!! Feel free to grab a seat at the bar. Our bartender has recently returned to the land of the DIS, so I'm sure he'll be happy to pour you whatever drink you'd like. (Except the Rum.... Our resident can get a bit possesive of the rum). We always love having new people join in the fun here.


Oh!! ! FYI.... looks like the first outdoor drum circle at the river is scheduled for Tomorrow based off a facebook invite email I got this weekend. Just thought I'd pass along the info.

Well, another weekend on the books, had a nice time at a beer festival on LI. That is two weekends in a row for beer fests. Back to work time now.

Ive already registered for my run but unfortunately haven't any official runs to list timings though I'm hoping to do it in 1.5 hours.

That is a pretty decent 5K time, I do not think you will have a problem doing it under 1:30. I can use my time from the Half in January, but the last time I did this race (when it was just a 13K) they had no corrals and it was sort of a free for all at the start. Hope they correct that, it took almost 10 minutes to reach the start line due to crowds and so many people just walking.

When I registered I was asked about expected time and I stuffed up and put 2.5hrs. If u think it'll take less than 2 hours u need proof from a prior timed official run... Then u get put in the 1st corral so yes sounds like they've amended that. I stuffed up though... Wonder if I can change it. Though this will be my first run for an event so I have no proof time yet.
