You don't know cold.....dh and I live in Ontario Canada in the Niagara region and it hasn't exactly been balmy here. Yesterday he had to fly to Thunder Bay for work. For the uninitiated that's way north. The lows hit minus 24 and 25 Celsius which for you non metric folk is minus 12 and 13. He's still thawing out

..... schumi knows cold alrighty.


she always has to translate the metric for me.


i hate cold weather so much i plan to move south to get away from it.

Bucky, keisha had good advice, i completely forgot about that one!


would your dentist do a trade for your first born in order to cover the dental work?

 

[macraven]

Yep, Florida living.



Wish you were here with us. It's cloudy and overcast but hey it's Universal.

Had a good night sleep, eating breakfast (in room) then going to hit the parks. Check in later.

how is the sleeper sofa this time Bluer?
better than the one i had?

enjoy everything this week.
i think this has been the longest time period that you have not been at the darkside.

Bluer big difference as to price between two resorts. Usually portofino is much higher for dates I've priced but casually looking at first 3 months of next year see many dates where royal pacific is less. Probably due to conventions etc but just trying to keep tabs on it lol for future trip planning

I only checked PBH a few times but no parlor. Plus it was way more money. This trip last night was like $146 and tonight and sat is $168 something I think. So with prices that low we had no choice.

yes, the AP rates make a big difference all the way around

the parlor is a powerful incentiveand would be a tipping point for me if rates were comparable. thanks for the info

even though PBH is my favorite onsite, I find it difficult to justify paying an additional $30+ a night for same type of room/rate.

I sure do

Although I do have Kyle translate the conversions to me before I convert for you........math is my weakness......yes......even simple math

I make up for it in other ways though


We have -5c here this morning.......but should be a lovely sunny day to travel to Scotland in by the time the sun comes up..........

So have a great weekend folks and will catch up when I get home

Yes, going to MS and Macy parade tonight. We got out of the room at 10:30 am and hit IOA for some rides and grinchmas. We are at the pool for lunch and relax now for the afternoon. Sorry for the photo to all the cold weather people. It's 81 and swimming.

i mentioned this to one of the homies yesterday but forgot to post it here.


some idiot knocked into my mail box yesterday.
i went out to get my mail and the box and post were fine.

70 minutes after that, Mr Mac comes home and asks me who destroyed our mailbox.

i had no idea what he was talking about.

mailboxes on our street are on the opposite side of the houses.
mailboxes are placed at the edge of an open field.
gotta cross over the street to reach the mailboxes.

post in the ground so wobbly but still kind of in an upright position
box itself has no bottom and the hinges on the door flap were hanging off.

it's below freezing here.
no way could we have a new post put in with concrete in this weather.
total headache and mess to deal with........

think we can brace the post and send Mr Mac to Ace hardware to get another mailbox tomorrow.


this will be our 3rd replacement.............

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!

so the monday appointment got canned and they gave you camel day instead?
that's crap.

i don't know how anyone could kiss off 9 days of the dining plan living on soup and soft stuff.
this is the time to eat steak if you have the ddp.......

maybe if you drink a lot while at the motherland you will be able to eat and not feel the pain.
this is an awful situation you are in.

if they do a temp cap-ing, you could still eat.


8 years back, i was rear ended and ended up hitting my mouth on the steering wheel.
yea, 10 days out from a trip to orlando.....
my demon did a temp capping of 10 teeth and eating wasn't a problem for me.

as long as i didn't smile for any pictures, i looked "normal"........


crossing my fingers and eyes that the demon appt goes good for youse and the job will be done so you can eat and be painfree for the trip.


kids do revolt when they miss out on their character dinners.......
and what it takes to go through in order to ADR those dinners in advance is a job!

hang in there homie
