Something About Nothing..........#11

[Bluer101]

buckeev,

Sorry about the postponed dentist, it stinks waiting.

We slept in and had breakfast. We are packed up and almost ready to leave. Not visiting the parks today as we want to get home and ready for the week.

 

[macraven]

are you home yet?

 

[Lynne G]

And the blowing winds, bringing the polar cold, so happy I cannot feel my face or fingers. Ah, yes, it is cold, just above freezing, with 40 mph winds.

Football today.

Bluers, safe travel home.

Buckeev, sorry to hear of the delay. Stinks all around.


Keisha, waiting for the big storm coming in a day or two. Did it hit you yet? Thankfully, to be massive rain and not snow or ice.


Peaceful Sunday to ya all!

 

[macraven]

Lynne G, the cold weather sucks.

believe it or not, you will thaw out by july 4th.

 

[Bluer101]

are you home yet?

Yep at 2pm.

Out food shopping for the week.

 

[macraven]

Yep at 2pm.

Out food shopping for the week.

I posted that at 4:17. Lol

 

[buckeev]

Thanks all for the concerns....I'll be fine. Hey...George Washington ain't got nuttin' on me when it comes to wood carving skills! (He must've liked Fried Turkey as much as I (used to) like Fried Turkey!

Spent pert-near all day "fine-tuning" (over managing as my bride sez.!) on our Christmas Trip...
Caught another couple of nights at POR to bookend our Wilderness Lodge stay...and then head to Hard Rock before finishing up with a couple of nights at Cabana Bay. Got some AP rates on a few of the nights, so that definitely softens the blow a bit. Lots of moving and shuffling, but we'll let the baggage dudes make most of the hotel transfers.
Dang these stinkin' car rentals rates...sickening. I could upgrade my pending crowns for these prices!

 

[macraven]

car rentals are always sky high during holiday periods.

i quit renting cars some years back and do car service.
it turns out cheaper for me doing that.


and i never get lost on the roads now.........


you are gonna have a great vacation!

Between the cold and the dental issues will call it blue Monday but got an email from Macy's that they are having a green Monday sale today.Does that mean in spirit of hugging trees you have to bring your own bag?

Introduced my GD to Harry Potter movies this weekend, she is entranced. wasn't old enough to 'get' it during last visit to the parks. She already has her first wand. The big bowl of popcorn we enjoyed played havoc with the temporary bridge I've been rocking for two months.

called my dentist the next morning and got text message back he was in a tree stand hunting bambi, would be back the next day and would call. sigh he said to forget the glue and use pollident to re affix, surprised how well it worked.

spent 1-1/2 hours in chair last night (looking like a rapper with all the gold teeth lol). Mouth still hurting but once the nerves settle down should be golden woo hoo

mac wonder if somebody hit the mailbox? I live on edge of sticks, read in the newspaper that kids still randomly take batting practice on them, not sure if that is common elsewhere.

Gee. thanks for the CRUNCY food pics BLUERrrrrrrr!

My Demon...errr....DENTIST appt. got rescheduled-(NOT by me)-to WEDNESDAY!...and probably won't even get the fillings/repairs/caps or anything remotely encouraging done this week.
9 days of Free Disney DP, and and I may be be using my table service credits for double mashed potatoes!
I've already shuffled this trip arrival/departure time around and it cost me a small fortune, but this close, it's almost impossible...and I can't lose another couple of Character meals for the boy...there will be a serious meltdown!

Oh, and as for finding anything valuable in the couch cushions...those get almost daily attention while searching for the stooped remotes!

lol, I just hope there aren't spiders lurking when I stick my hand in there.

it stinks to have dental issues, let along when the chomping is good on vacation. Perhaps they can get temporaries in place. another option is to go rogue and call aspen dental if u have them in the area. They are quick for at least temporary fixes when regular dentist is unavailable.

WL is one of our fav WDW resorts, great choice! POR is also great, FQ was always our pick there but really liked Riverside our last trip. What day do you leave?

re rental cars, have u checked out the transportation forum here for codes? If you don't have a preference as to using a particular provider, priceline is a really great option. Last January we needed a mini-van and the rates were insane. I bid $15 a day & wound up paying $230 all in for a 9 day rental for $230...saved me over 60 percent from best rate I had found. Wound up with a brand new minivan from Hertz. Only issue was waiting in the terminal at the counter but easy enough to have one adult grab luggage and another head to the counter.

!

I think we are going to dodge that storm. Hope u don't get hit too hard.

My oldest DS's high school football team has made it to state championship game on Friday in Hershey. With the storm not sure if we are going to be able to get there, game starts at 1 pm. In good weather it's a 4 hour drive, turnpike gets so bad over the mountains when it storms, just hate idea of not being there.

Yep at 2pm.

Did mrs bluers foot cooperate during the trip?

We are wheels up on the 19th...(dang skool distrik changed the finals dates...really messed us up!)..I had a very good car rental rate, ($316), for all 22 days, but the 3 day delay made the rates more than quadruple!
I've tried many options...still looking!

wow, that is a most excellent rate for 3 weeks!

Yep. By stringing together THREE different rentals today, all with Dollar, I've got it down to $620! BUT...If they won't merger them at the MCO desk and/or booth, I will hafta make two trips from WDW BACK to MCO to return, then rent again. (They did merge two together for me last Christmas, and it helped a ton!)
I'm still in that "gray area" as to whether it might just be better to do cabs/taxi-vans...but I hate not having "complete" control over my transportation options while in Orlando, especially with Gage's issues.
That $20 plus parkin' at HRH might help me talk myself into it though!

My. Brain. Hurts.

 

[Lynne G]

Ahhh, a Monday night. Cold.

Hah, our weather people are saying expect heavy rain tomorrow morning and heavy rain in the afternoon hours. Why do not just say it will rain all day, all darn day! Puddles here coming soon then. Not complaining. Snow showers are predicted if the weather gets cooler than expected. Just as long as it is well above freezing, I am ok with the bad weather. Winter Noreasters starting early this year.

 

[macraven]

wouldn't it be great Lynne G if we could fast forward to the month of June.......

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Keisha my foot cooperated this trip. I had to keep icing it every night but I did well. Doctor said I wouldn't have any problems as long as I watched it and had ice at night. Still bothering me some but I can't complain. Thanks for asking.

i was wondering how your foot was on the trip and doing the park.
hope you get to the point where you will be painfree.

remember to use the other foot when kicking anyone's butt so you don't aggravate the bad foot.

hmmm have priced my share of rentals but never though to try and price out for multiple best dates then merge. will file that hint away lol

I take it you're not a fan of WDW's not-so ME but perhaps u could work it in with picking something up there?

good luck figuring out that puzzle but how cool to be spending the Christmas holiday in Orlando! have never attempted to brave the crowds.

Lynne - weatherman was talking this am about the possibility mac's cold front won't stall long enough to hold off the storm for us. they've doubled this storm's forecast snow count for Indiana where my youngest is attacking those finals this week. As long as we don't get anywhere near the foot of snow the north eastern part of state is supposed to get, i'll call it a win!

 

[macraven]

second day of no sun here.

hoping the light on my computer will give my face a tan.
