Something About Nothing..........# 10

[marciemi]

Hey All! Quick fly-by from Indy! We closed on the house here Tuesday, making us now the proud (?) owners of two houses. I'd kind of always hoped that if I had a second home it would be on the beach or in Florida, not in Green Bay! Oldest son flies in tomorrow just in time to head up to Green Bay for the movers! Middle son is conveniently missing it as he just flew out to Vegas for 2 months for his internship. Working for the National Nuclear folks - evidently it's the government so he's off on Fridays as well so is headed for a weekend on the strip (not all that exciting as he's only 18 still).

Spent the last couple days moving everything from my husband's apartment into the house with just my 17 year old helping. Back in 1989 when DH & I moved into our first house from an apartment we vowed we'd never do it again. Not sure how I got roped into doing it all again!

Our trash day is now FRIDAY here in Indy! Whatever will I do? How will I ever remember? And it's totally a drought here - our new lawn is pretty much like hay - but 90% of the neighbors' lawns don't look any better.

We enjoyed free dining a lot at Disney and rather than planning around dinners (which I agree would be stressful), we did most of our TS meals at lunch. We know we're going to be in the parks for ropedrop anyway, plan on a good morning hitting all the biggies and accumulating FP's, do lunch somewhere between 11:30 and 12:30 for a nice break then have the afternoon to do the less-crowded rides and use up the FP's then the evenings free. Or head back to the hotel for the afternoon and do the same in the evening. But at least we weren't back at the hotel trying to psych ourselves up to head back into a park just for dinner.

I've never stayed club level @ WDW but have elsewhere. Always found a continental breakfast/snack/bottled water & more packaged snacks & appetizers with free adult drink in the evening if lucky type thing. I've read many people posting that they live off the club level goodies at WDW but always thought it was tongue in cheek comment...guess not lol.

MH's joining the ticket hoarders support group we have going here

i'll join tracie dancing it's friday, another busy day here, wheeee

late at night, i'll read thru the disboards.
always enjoy reading the resort forums.
been reading how some peeps feel the club offerings have been disappointing at various lounges. someone is always complaining about something with them.
when i am at the motherland, if i want to eat somewhere, i do.
never look twice at the cost for the entrees.
it's high, but i always have the $ for it and i don't go broke.

so glad we have tracie posting.
i would never have remembered it was friday.......
lately, every day has seemed more like a monday to me...

[keishashadow]

my garbage day is moving to friday morning too

i'll be the one with their garbage out the day beforehand until they cite megotta take a stand somewhere

marcie - i'm not sure which word strike more fear in me: moving or packing! yuck, gotta luv the kids being tied up elsewhere, who didn't see that coming lol? I'm still waiting to coordinate two of my kids to help remove a pine tree in my yard.

mac i'm going to have to remember to search club offerings here next time i've got (more) time to burn.

Found out today my DH is off work for month from his 'minor' surgery. Hard to let a whole month go without a trip must resist

 

[macraven]

but you have your october trip to look forward to .....

 

[ky07]

June.....definitely June. Spring Break is more expensive and crowded. And the earlier in June, the better

That's what I am thinking and that means extra money I can save

GOOD MORNING homies

A bit of the soggies here in Southeastern PA this morning. Didn't expect it, but it IS a welcomed thing. We have been a bit dry here lately....shaves a few bucks off the water bill as I don't have to put water in the pool or water the lawns. However we are gearing up for another Extreme Heat Warning patch from Monday afternoon thru Wednesday

Hope you all have a great day!!!

i have a case of landshark, i'll throw it in the trunk & bring the chips 'n dip too

vacations are like chips, who can stop at just onebut it's probably not a good idea to use the mortgage payment to fund it.

bonny - that is alot of food, especially at dinner. Curious though the club levels i've seen only bring out a tray or two of food and it tends to be a bit of a free-for-all and not replenished.

Tuesdays and Fridays here!

Each day there are probably 2 or 3 main dishes, plus your variety of veges/dip, cheeses, hummus & pita bread, and PB&J sandwiches. Anytime we've been, as soon as they see things getting low, they will replenish. We've even gone with maybe 10-15 minutes left before they start clearing and there has always been enough food for any stragglers.

Heeeeeeeeyyyyyyy Homies!!! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!

It's been a while but I thought I would pop over and read up on my fav boards and drool on some trip reports

Sadly we won't be making a trip to the Dark Side again this year, but I am happy to report my girls and I are taking a little Fall Break of our very own to Gatlinburg.

 

[macraven]

glad you found your way back home here sharky...!!


someone mentioned you many pages back.
when it was announced that Jaws was going down, they asked about you.

That was a depressing time for me... therapy has helped

I saw someone post over on my facebook page that they've removed the carnival signs at the Simpson's... what's going on there?

 

[macraven]

redecorating??





i have not a clue.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

I was hoping it was something juicy

Just stopping by to say hi.

I went to the Studios tonight to meet some friends from back home on their last night before returning home Sunday. I also met up with Carole and her family from England. The park was really crowded even into the evening. I saw four or five tour groups at CityWalk but they were all leaving since it was after 5pm when I arrived. I guess they'd had their fill for the day.

I saw the new show tonight and liked it very much. We watched from outside MIB so I didn't get the full effect but it was most enjoyable.

Make sure you see it when you have a chance.

We didn't do Despicable Me since the wait time was 70 minutes around 5:15pm and then after dinner, the wait time was 90 minutes. I'll come back one weekend after summer is over. It's just too crowded and too hot to stand in a line for that long.

 

[macraven]

Metro, thanx for giving us the heads up on the night time show.
if you like it, then i know i will like it.
i have it on my list to see this october.

i checked the show dates on the website and it will be shown for about 4 nights i am there. whew, now i know i will be able to see it!

i bet you had fun with your friends back home and Carole & Co!

you get all the luck.
most people that come to orlando have months to make plans and then get there. you need to jump in your car, and get there more easily....
(you don't have to buy air, book hotels, etc....)


I only do the parks on saturdays up to about 1ish.
then i skip out. i have found that day to get crowds. larger crowds than i want to be in.
long line waits, oh no......

when you return to the night show in the fall, come back and tell us the parts you like best.

Good morning everyone.

Slept in a little then got up to go grocery shopping. Just got back and eating lunch. Was going to chill in the pool today but it's kind of overcast with showers.

Go figure, yesterday was pretty nice out so we decided to clean the house and now today it's so so out ,should have cleaned today. Can't win.

Metro,

We were able to see the show 3 times a few weeks ago and thought it's was pretty good. I think it's a decent improvement over the 360 show. It's a little longer though. The only thing I liked better in the 360 show is it's seemed like it stayed upbeat and fast tempo more than the new show.
