two thumbs up for annual pass renewing

Thank you all for the kind words for Christopher. He truly is an amazing baby. Rarely cries, only wakes once during the night, loves to be held...

And our next trip to the motherland is in May

So nice to hear. It will be a whole different touring if baby is with you in May. Much happiness and blessings with him.

My Christopher is a teen, hates that I gave him a longer name than his sister. Likes Chris much better. And he too was a good baby, stopped taking naps less than a year old. Hope yours has better sleep patterns.

That's great news! I wish my niece was quiet when she was in infant. She had colic and kept everyone frazzled for months! Now she's driving...how time flies.

todd you were lucky.

my kid could outsceam your kid..............


my second son did't sleep thru the night until he was 27 months old.

he would sleep no more than 2-3 hours and wake up screaming.

during this time period, the 3.5 yo and the youngest of less than a year slept thru the night but would wake up early morning, very early as in 5:15 and would be wide awake.


i spent those three years crying a lot.
more so than the babies did.

No kidding!

Seems like yesterday I was planning a Universal trip for the wife and 3 little ones. Next month we'll have a group of 10 going down with a husband, fiancé, girlfriend (son's, not mine ) and an 8 month old grandson.

Just returned from a weekend trip to "beautiful downtown Burbank" (for those not familiar with that phrase you can go here http://youtu.be/TtrClOp5VWM) for Monsterpalooza. Took lots of pictures and saw a couple of awesome make-up demonstrations by the people who to the make-up for American Horror Story. I've got all the pictures posted on Facebook so if you want to see them and we're not currently friends on FB, just let me know and I'll send you my FB link.

Hubby also officially announced his upcoming book project ... in conjunction with veteran actor Daniel Roebuck's alter ego Dr. Shocker, Lee will be writing a book on the Illustrated History of Don Post Studios presented by Dr. Shocker. For those who aren't familiar with Don Post Studios, Don Post was dubbed by many as The Godfather of Halloween. They created and sold some of the first latex masks, which remain popular today.

i read about this.
i won't be staying at Cabana Bay but in case you are, i guess this rules out the rumors of the water boats for guests in that new hotel.




The Orlando City Council passed a vote this week that would allow the city to spend $4.5 million to build a new pedestrian bridge near Universal Studios. The bridge would connect the theme park with its newest hotel, Cabana Bay Resort, opening in March of 2014. This bridge has been quite a source of contention in the city since the plans were announced. Opposition to the funding is upset that the bridge will primarily be used for Universal hotel guests, even though the city is paying for it. Cabana Bay will be located on Kirkman Road and the bridge will span Hollywood Way, allowing hotel guests to avoid the busy road.

This bridge is part of a larger $9 million investment on the city’s part, that would also include making enhancements to Hollywood Way and Adventure Way. City commissioners say "it's critical to support companies like Universal that bring jobs and drive tourism, and the $9 million would come from a fund specifically set aside to make transportation improvements in the Universal area, money that essentially can’t be spent on anything else."

bonny sounds like an amazing trip!

mac - so do think they won't have boat access? there was thread here a month or so ago as to the locals' concerns. In our area it's not unusual for taxpayer gimmies (a reverseon the old play to pay) to keep business/large employers humming along.

 

[damo]

Welcome to new little Christopher! What a beautiful child he is.

 

[Lynne G]

Water water, we have water. Rain today and to be heavy with thunderstorms tonight. I hope the ground is not too muddy this weekend. DD has 4 games this weekend, so we will be busy. Of course, the rain is bringing in cooler weather. I have to break out my heavier sweatshirt. Us parental units seem to be the coldest in the field.


Have a great Friday all!

i don't think the boats were ever considered to be part of the new hotel.

the idea could have been tossed around but so far, has not materialized.


i can't see it happening since the pedestrian bridge is gonna happen.



but, who knows what will happen or change in the future.
i never thought the day would come when the ghostbusters would be removed from the studios.........


our weather is still crazy.
yesterday we had the floods and storms.

this morning drizzle rain then snow flurries, then hail, then back to snow flurries.

and it is cold.
well, it's in the 30's but with the dampness outside, i feel cold.


spring will hit us in May............

April showers bring May flowers

It was almost 85 degrees here yesterday and going to hit freezing tonight. I don't think i could bear to see snow.

No boat transport or FOTL perc for CBmakes it hard to see the appeal unless it's priced dirt cheap imo. Will be interesting to see where the rates are initially set and if they need to adjust them depending on bookings.

Damo, thanks for the info on the new footbridge. Funny, I could see that much easier then trying to make a bridge and have the cars go over the canal. With the footbridge you are not changing any real part of the road. With no express pass, I guess with the early entry and maybe free sending purchases to room, plus chance to have larger family rooms, it will still appeal to many. Even if had to walk as far as the parking garages, finding your car in a hotel lot is much easier. Wonder how much traffic the new hotel will pull from the other neighbor hotels. With my AP, it may be interesting, though my kids are so used to the hotel express pass, I think we may stick with ones that have that perk.
