*pokes back in*

This definitely looks like my kind of people.

And I like that Universal is the darkside.
This means we have cookies here, right?
Or cake... I'll take cake.

I'm quite jealous of those leaving soon. I have so long to wait.

you'll be there before i will............


looking at your countdown, how long are you staying in orlando?
i'll be there in 4 months, arrive on sept 30th.
if you're still there, wanna meet up for a few minutes?


and to all the newbie darksiders, if any of youse will be there when i am, let me know so i can see youse too!!!

I leave on October 5.

I won't be doing Universal during the day this year, but we plan on doing one HHN night. We're getting the Plus package to skip the big lines.
I'm also going to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, and those three days can be moved around, as they're still not set in stone. All I know for sure is that we're eating at Bubba Gump's the day we go for HHN.

I'd love to do a meet up, and I know Carol will too (she lives in Leesburg), even though she's not on the boards. We're dedicated HHNers.

 

[macraven]

you and carol need to pencil me in your calendar.


not don't forget to do that!!!

 

[Kogo Shuko]

Most definitely.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Macraven, my next trip will also be a split between the motherland and the dark side. That was my last trip as well. I love going in the Fall. I'm planning for fall 2014 to see the new HP expansion. I went to California last year to see what the Transformers ride was all about. Very Cool!

 

[macraven]

pencil me on your calendar for 2014........


i make my long fall trip around the columbus day weekend period.
so that determines which week in september will be the start of my vacation.
i usually do 18 nights.

i do the motherland resorts first then move to the darkside resorts.

usually at the motherland between 6 to 9 days.
darkside is closer to 2 weeks there.

yes, i plan that portion around hhn....
i hit 5 nights usually and aim to increase more for hhn.


i have been to CA but not to any of the theme parks there.
i'm debating on when to see them.

did you do the other theme parks or highlights of what is popular/famous in the area when you went last year?

you are way ahead of us other homies since you have already been on the Transformer ride!!

you can be our translator for that ride in the studios.

i have 4 sons so i know who, what about transformers, but there might be others that won't know.

Hi Shumi!
Yep, vacation isn't until the end of August. Seems still far away.

It`ll be here before you know it Lynne

carole we were sweltering in the riviera maya. nearly melted climbing temple @ ek balam and poking around chichen itza, but a memorable experience. Met lots of brits at our resort. Most there for a good three to four weeks, they all seemed to take to the heat depsite telling me it was rainy and cold back home.

Aww sounds lovely......yes us Brits love to soak up the heat when we can, we don`t get much in the way of very high temps.......it has been glorious all day today so made the most of it......it could rain tomorrow!!!

Hello All...

Um, so I guess the "Dark Side" fans can feel safe here? I usually avoid comparisons on DIS but I just broke my own rule about not getting into an argument of US/IOA vs Disney and I realize I need an outlet for my fandom. I am somewhat knowledgeable about both so I can't help but compare. I have even (perish the thought) spent my entire vacation at HRH and US/IOA for a WEEK! I am not even close to being a teen or a tween or a parent of either. I am a 56 year old grandmother who is a theme park junkie and thrill ride afficiando.

You seem like such a close knit group, I hope I am not intruding by being here. I need a safe place.

Thank-you.

no intruding here.....everyone welcome. It`s hard sometime to try and not get into those types of discussion.......don`t have to worry about that here though.......




we had today.........we got our grocery shopping early this morning, then went for a long walk on the beach.....took the neighbours dog so it was real fun. Then after lunch just spent the afternoon mooching around the garden relaxing and enjoying the sun.

Have a glass of very chilled white wine in front of me now.....still in garden

mac......do you remember me telling you about the little kitten I rescued from one of the trees in our garden last year? She visits every day now and even comes in the house.......DH who is not a cat fan even likes her She lives close and is well looked after but likes to pop in.........Kyle is not keen though........he walked into the kitchen and she was sat outside on the window ledge.....he got the fright of his life seeing her little face peering in

She`s sat at my feet now just stretched out......I must try and get a picture of her

Hope everyone has a good weekend

usually at the motherland between 6 to 9 days.
darkside is closer to 2 weeks there.

yes, i plan that portion around hhn....
i hit 5 nights usually and aim to increase more for hhn.

Do you start at the motherland and then move on to the darkside?

If so, maybe we can meet up at MK or HS this fall?

On a side note... even though I'm not heading to Orlando until September, I'm going crossborder shopping tomorrow. We're hopping the river to do some grocery shopping in Massena, NY. I'm completely addicted to Aldi's, not to mention Throwback Pepsi.
Time to stock up.

I am tentatively planning on October 22 to November 2

Same Here

Wish I could go that long!

I have never been to HHN but plan to this time.


i have been to CA but not to any of the theme parks there.
i'm debating on when to see them.

did you do the other theme parks or highlights of what is popular/famous in the area when you went last year?

I spent went day at DL/CA to catch carsland. RSR was down all day so I rode just about everything but the Carsland attractions. I spent another day at USH and purchased the Express Pass. Did everything there as well.

you are way ahead of us other homies since you have already been on the Transformer ride!!

LOL! I didn't know the first thing about the characters but the ride was cool anyway.

you can be our translator for that ride in the studios.

i have 4 sons so i know who, what about transformers, but there might be others that won't know.

 

[macraven]

Yeah.... I get it. We live about an hour from Wash DC (all that HISTORY, all those FREE museums!) but we rarely go. Don't get me wrong -- I love when I DO go and I really appreciate what's there. I guess it's true for most people -- whatever's further away and harder to get to, you seem to appreciate more!

i was looking back to see who posted in here from OK.
reread the above post and thought, gee, i could have stopped at MDer's place for lunch earlier this month.

MDer, are you north, south or west of DC?

i was in hagerstown and frederick MD for a trip.

 

[macraven]

Hi everyone,
So I would like to get to know you guys better now that I am soon to be a "regular"-I hope!

Yikes! Hope the storms weren't too bad!

Sorry I missed ya Mac!

Oh yea! Looks like our HHN date will be 10/6.

You think like a teacher Mac. I can't imagine why.

I just poked my nose in to say "Hi." It looks like we are headed back to Orlando in December. We will split our IOA/USO days with WDW in the middle. Never done that before, but it is how our reservations worked out. I'm hoping we can fit in some of the holiday stuff that we haven't done before.

Just got my vacation approved today....I did it backwards cuz I got such a great deal & I didn't want to let it get away.

Good afternoon homies and happy Mother's Day to all the moms

HAPPY MUMMY'S DAY!!

Just doing a quick pop in to say hello.
I will try and get some more pics up soon. 2.5 weeks til Chris's first trip to the Motherland!

An TEE tum

homie.
sorry for this delay.........please come back!

Yikes Janet!!!! Is that the same kid with bronchitis and a broken sternum too?

I've always wondered how to pronounce Antietam....

Is it anti-eh-tom?

Don't mean to sound stupid....

homies.

bring a note from mom and come back soon.



or just come back as you are missed when i started counting out noses this evening........

darkside homies are special peeps.

 

[bubba's mom]

we pronounce it: An-tee-tum

and Raven....it's not 'invisible homies', it's "homies in the box"...remember?

 

[macraven]

i knew bubba's mom/brab would turn up if i didn't list her above.......

it's cute when you are at antitem how the others pronouce it.....

[goofyfigment]

I looking forward to hopefully meeting some homies in person at some point

 

[macraven]

i found that thread where the homie lives in Moore.

i'm hopeful she and her family are going to have a relaxing fun vacation.

i am still trying to see schumigirl ........

i was so delighted to finally put a face with a name when i did.

 

[goofyfigment]

Now that I'm becoming more active its gonna be great when we all do finally get to put a face with the name and then my daughter can stop saying I talk to make believe people!

Raven, those 6 cups of coffee must have really kicked in yesterday! All your posts!

Our 3rd day of high 90's with high humidity. Yep, AC is working even through the night.

My D Sis opened her pool the other day. Went in it early this afternoon and it was 82F, like a bath. Went in after dinner, and the sun heated it up to 87F. DS said it was like some one took a pee in it. Only a teen would have such potty thoughts!

Hope everyone is having a great week end!

And yes Raven, another quiet night.
