schumi !!

i bet tonights dinner will be the best one you will have had during this entire trip to NY.
your purse was found and returned, now you can rejoice and have fun !!


i can just imagine the horror and fear you had when you realized you lost your purse.

so thrilled for youse that it was returned !!


i bet you will be sending some of those cadbury chocolates to your new found hero.
such a wonderful story you can talk about, kindness from a stranger, an honest stranger.


be well and enjoy the remainder of your vacation.

Thanks for the welcome!

Well then...11 more sleeps it is! Don't post often here but, I do enjoy reading the universal forums every day. Especially as a vacation gets closer!
We've stayed at RPR many times and did HRH in March. I do prefer RPR over HRH and probably won't stay at HRH again. We had a good time at HRH but I didn't like how small it was and it felt very sterile. I did enjoy the Kitchen restaurant and went when they were doing a kids eat free deal which was really nice. Thought we would give PBR a shot as we have never stayed there. We have checked it out a little and took the kids to get ice cream last year.

HRH and RPH were the two i stayed at the most.
only at PBH once.

back in 09, i started doing more RPH stays as i really adored that place's ambiance and staff.

now i stay only at RPH.


10 more wake ups for youse !

come back and post more.
once you are here, you are then considered one of the homies to us.

jump in and just start talking.

we usually have quite a few conversations going on at once.

Yeah,...and that's just Mac...talking to & talking with herself!

Wow Schumster. If youse wouldda let me know your situation, I coulda told you not to panic...that EVERY 'Merican is HONEST like that dude!

Seriously though, I "lost" a "loaded" wallet a few years ago, and it really stung...still get sick thinking about how many Butterbeers I coulda bought my girls at IOA.

CL rates at Christmas break are flipping' ridiculous...still haven't pulled the trigger....
Tick.....
Tick.....

youse know me so well..............


so you are going at christmas time?

i always swore i would never go to orlando in late december or anytime in january.
weather is the pits at home and never know if a flight will be delayed due to weather out of ohare or mitchell field.


had to eat my words this year as i went january 3rd with my son.

it was -11 degrees driving to the airport in milwaukee that morning at 4:15 am.

parks were crowded and cold, even thru the second week of january.


again i say not in that month ever again...

The parks were not to bad, maybe we are used to it. I think visiting with you guys made it better.

Like I say, if anyone is going to the Darkside on a weekend let us know. Chances are we will be there or come up for a meet.

 

[macraven]

Bluer, yea the last day we were with you on that sunday was great weather.
that first week we were at the motherland was crowded and cold and windy.


january 3rd still had the holiday crowds over there.
crowds lightened up when we moved over to the darkside.

 

[buckeev]

Yeah Mac....We LOVE the Christmas season at the parks/resorts...
We were actually there this past season-your trip overlapped ours a few days...we came home Jan 8th, tired, worn out bodies in tow!

Probably gonna try to pull it off again...As of this moment, I've booked Mouseville's WL for 9n with "Free Dining"...(with the possibility of 2 or 3 more nights RO @ POR before WL. Trying to figure out my ticket mess with that segment).
The "Free Dining" probably will end up costing me about 500/600 more than what I would've spent doing RO ressies and OOP meals/Tix...BUT it gives us a chance to stay at a resort I've always coveted...(Hey..I think I'll change my signature to that...
"Though shalt not covet thy fellow DISrs Deluxe Resort Ressie"
Whatcha think?

Still haven't pulled the trigger on my Minionville ressie, probably will do that today. I just can't decide...4n with CL, or 5n w/o...the SMSM rate doesn't quite SM for me to be real excited...and AP/AAA rates will be few-and -far-between....
SWA is crazy, but I have a decent amount of RR pts to ease the pain a bit.
Sounds like I'm complainin'...but not really...sometimes I think I enjoy the planning part of our Orlando trips more than the trips.

Schumi!!! That story has renewed MY faith in humanity! Wow!!!

Happy Memorial Day everyone! A time to remember and honor our vets and beloved service people, and all our loved ones who have passed.

no it's not my son that is in the reserves it's his friend but I guess we could say he is cause he calls DW mom and got upset when no one told him I had a heart attack and was in the hospital but he is in the marines and is a really good kid

 

[ky07]

Sorry double post

 

[macraven]

hey St L........how are you gonna last until you leave for your trip?


really hope your son can get the time off work so he can be with you all.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Hi Mac!!!

Sorry I posted and disappeared earlier. Looks like we'll be making our usual trip in Oct (4-7) with HHN being on the 5th. Any hope of seeing you? (or Marco? Pax & Dori?)

We were actually hoping to shoot for later in the month closer to Halloween but my parents, who are also my pup sitters, have plans to see the Scottish band Albanach and it would interfere. The third week of Oct is still a posibility too.

I have actually been doing pretty good and if all else I have meds for the old ticker lol but seriously I did good last year and oldest DS is still up in the air but told him we love to have him go but if his job wouldn't allow it then don't feel bad cause he has to do what he wants not us

i'm glad your ticker is still working fine...

i had that issue with one of my sons too due to his job.
he had to bail on the october 13 trip so we planned again and we went january this year.

he quit his first job in november and was hired at another place end of november.

he asked at the time of hiring if he could have 2 weeks off of work starting jan 3rd.
they said okay and we did orlando then.

 

[keishashadow]

I'm sitting here wondering where time has gone...my baby turns 21 today

this time tomorrow we'll be in Orlando, back in 'da burg on June 8th, hold down the fort campers.

carole - amazing you were reunited with your purse, affirms there are still good people out there.

sharky - we're ditching MNSSHP this year & will be driving up for HHN on 10/5 too.

 

[macraven]

to davy !!

hard to believe he is this old.
the years have gone by too fast keisha.......


oh sharky, keishashadow and mr keisha are on the list for the 5th.
i screwed up and didn't list them in the past post.......

 

[Lynne G]

Happy 21st birthday to Keisha's baby! Time does fly. DS will be 17 this fall, and I am having trouble believing that. And, have a great trip! Details when returning would be appreciated.

Sniff, no fall trip planned for us. Oh well. We'll be sweating the last two weeks of August.

Which leads me to my wish for warm weather. It will be 86 and humid today, but with the storms tonight, the high tomorrow will be 70. No wonder everyone around here has some kinda sickness. We don't want to turn on our AC just yet. Today, I might have to.

Happy Tuesday, y'all! What a nice way to start a short work week.

Schumi, glad to hear the purse's return. What a relief. Also happy you had a great visit to NY.

 

[keishashadow]

good thing I didn't have any caffeine today...

mac - more the merrier @ HHN, hoping to see Todd that night.

lynne - some powerful storms went thru here today, batten down the hatches.
