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

[Lynne G]

Welcome AJ! We are friendly bunch.

Long ago, we honeymooned at WDW. DH is stll not a Disney or theme park fan. Oh well. Much happiness with your upcoming fall wedding. What a lovely time of year to get married.

Shumi, glad to hear DS had a great time at the driving place. My DS is old enough to drive, but has yet to take the test. I am not pushing too hard, yet. My insurance will go skyrocket though, young males under 25 have the highest insurance in the US.

Still raining here, and chinese takeout seems better and better for dinner. Hmmmm.

Quick check in and to say hi to all the homies and hope everyone is doing well

Chinese takeout.....yep always a good idea

He hasn't done this years driving day yet.......they only do track days between April and October........weather should be better.......so he has to wait till Easter to enjoy his present.....lol......he doesn't mind.

Yes it's the same here with insurance........they don't get to learn till they're 17 in the UK, so he's now in his 3rd year with full licence and my goodness me it's fantastic to see the cost coming down every year........it's still high.......but better than the first year, that was a scary amount




Got a real inkling to visit Canada........just watched a friends DVD of when they were there last year..........they went to a couple of places We want to go.......Montreal....for the Grand Prix.........and Banff which is another place We'd love to see and a few other places........looks so beautiful

How on earth have I missed this post? Hi everyone fairly new to disboards but check in everyday. We are leaving for universal in 12 days and I am so very excited!

First trip to Fl for my son and first time to darkside for me. I so hope the weather is nice and we can enjoy full days at the park. Staying onsite at Royal and doing 3 days at the parks and 2 at the beach.

Oh my only part that makes me nervous is he is not sure about flying. Hmmm well as a teenager out weighing his mom by 40lbs praying I don't have to carry him on the plane LOL Kidding. I hope everyone on dis is patient I have a feeling I will be sharing a lot of photos very soon.

Welcome!! So soon to visit the Darkside! All of us like pictures. Have a safe trip. My teen DS does not mind flying. Maybe give your DS some motion medicine and pack a book or some food or other to keep him busy in flight.

hoping she has a smooth move and great weather on moving day.

 

[glocon]

Soooooo jealous of goofyfigment. My highest aspiration in life is to move to Florida some day. My DH not so excited about that.

Good luck goofyfigment, and don't forget to use your Florida resident discounts at the parks and resorts!

Thank you everyone and Kogo I'm from NL

I love NL! I went a few years ago and just fell in love with pretty much everything. Of course, I didn't go in the winter, so I'd probably fall out of love with it if I was there during the snow!!

Good luck today Goofyfigment........hope it all goes well........sure it will


Am I the only person who has never listened to the words of cats in the cradle??

Was out to lunch with some friends and we got talking about sad songs we can't listen to without crying......it was a long list but one mentioned cats in the cradle, and although I knew the tune I never knew the words..............we all ended up blubbing messes at the table when she played it on her phone and we read the lyrics our waiter was crying with laughter..........we must have looked ridiculous oh my goodness what a sad song though

DH didn't believe I didn't know it when I told him about it when I got home!!

Interesting lunch.

Hey all-

I just posted my first poll in the resorts section. I was hoping all you regulars would vote and give me some advice.

Especially Mac- it is right up your alley I think...

That's a great old song. Harry Chapin was a great songwriter and the 70s were the decade of the singer/songwriter. Of course we don't see that any longer.

Just booked our 5 night stay at Royal Pacific Resort, October 14-19

I know its a little early, but I know the parks will be busy with Diagon Alley opening, so I DEFINITELY want that Express Pass. I just didn't want to take a chance on the rooms in my price range ( standard lol) being unavailable if I wait to book.

I'm pretty excited..definitely feels real!

Are you planning on attending HHN?

 

[diskids2]

Hi! Just popped over to see how HP2 was coming along. We have a trip planned for Jan. 2015.

Truthfully, I popped over to get away from the FP+ threads! I open them, and read them, and then I hate myself for doing it!

 

[AJ1983]

Metro-we are DEFINITELY doing HHN, thinking either the 15th (if its on that Wednesday) or the 16th. My DFi is very interested in the Walking Dead area.

I also booked 9 nights at Pop, 19th-28th

Just too sad to listen to for me

Welcome to our happy place.........stick around and chat

It's much friendlier over here.........and yep those threads are......well.....exhausting but I do read them.....and thank my lucky stars I don't go to Disney happy planning for your darkside visit




Ordered new dining room furniture today........new table, chairs and a lovely big dresser.........I'm over the moon with what we chose, just have to wait 3 weeks though. DH wasn't convinced at first we really needed new furniture.........but we got it and now actually he's glad wear changing it.

Lasagne and salad for dinner tonight.......forgot to make garlic bread but it was still lush
