Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Glad Mac feeling better! and yay to meet ups! Wish it would have worked out for this weekend but just glad an HHN trip worked at all. Have put the but in DH's head for next year.
Safe travels Lynne!
Busy weekend. Late day at work so pizza Friday, DH went to volunteer at Octoberfest for a couple hours (the old guys running it are...tech challeneged-meaning in this day and age of using debit/credit they haven't a clue how to accept that for payment, and seemed to expect my DH to stay and run it for them. Um no, we have a busy Saturday. Soccer, then band competition-just went for finals. This is only one close to us. Think my oldest and I are going to Oklahoma next weekend to see the next one. Hopefully middle's school does well. Today was: Halloween decorations up inside, garden cleared (several pounds of carrots dug up, several cups of basil to neighbor), laundry, yard mowed, got straw for coop and decoration, along with mums. Grocery shopping while DS and DH off to soccer. Ham n cheese sliders, spinach dip and brownies for dinner.

Carnival Graveyard, Poltergeist, Dead exposure and scary tales are my top houses Keisha. The more we went through Carnival and Scary Tales the more I appreciated them. Oh-and Michael Aiello like my tweet wishing his boy a Happy birthday and raving about the houses at HHN this year!!

Have a great night and hope October is a good start!

Pretty cool re mr aiello lol. Ran out of steam before simpsons area, will hit it up Thursday. Hoping killer klowns not. Dud

Return to sleepy hollow better than expected. We had cheap seats, was sold out by 2nd day offered but happy enough. Given water, candy, popcorn & trading pins

I know squat re horses, other than they have long sharp teeth & enjoy biting people . Commented how well-trained the horse was, stable hands just died lol. Horse was asleep. I knew that, not. Will say the fanciest & cleanest stable ever.

Nice to see all the homies going to the darkside this week...hope you all have lots of meetups and a blast at HHN.

Safe travels Lynne

Hope mac is doing well.

Love the group pic with the schumi and keisha clans.

I'm feeling much better today, thanks Robo. I went directly to bed after work yesterday and slept until it was time to go back again.

Speaking of sleep...think it's time for me to go there...good night all, sweet dreams

 

[buckeev]

Yo Mac! So sorry you got too hot for your own good!

But glad you’re back up-n-running!

 

[Lynne G]

At the airport, thank goodness for short line. Now waiting to board, and will be a full flight.

Welcome to Monday, homies.

 

[Lynne G]

And we have landed, here we go waiting on luggage. Oh so many landed, five planes total unloaded.

But warm! Woot change of clothes!

 

[tink1957]

Glad you landed safely Lynne...stay hydrated and enjoy your trip!

 

[Lynne G]

Room ready as I parked the car. Huge line waiting for HS. And a good woot! 9th bag on the luggage belt. Fast picking car. No traffic and easy parking.

 

[pattyw]

Hi Lynne!! Yay for room ready! Have fun!! See you Thursday!!

We’re at EPCOT waiting for our wine seminar to begin

 

[Lynne G]

Awesome Patty.

Thought I would change from jacket and long pants. Made it to the rental, then changed in the car before I pulled out.

Hot is the word, and Keisha you are right. That walk from the bus to HS was not fun. And hit.

Good morning Sans Family

Wow so many of you are down there!! I hope everyone is having a great time. It sounds like you all have great plans.

I went with our friends to six flags this weekend. It was very nice. Our friend Frank has knee issues so couldn't ride anything and only was able to do about 5 hours. Our friend MH hasn't been a coaster in 10 years but I did get her on a couple of small ones. It was a nice visit. The fright fest part was a little better this week. There were a few more actors out. I had a few try and scare me only one got me. I still like my "no boo" necklace that I will get at Cedar Point later in the week.

I am busy packing for our long weekend trip to Ohio. We leave Thursday afternoon and will drive about 6 or 7 hours then stop for the night. We will leave Friday morning and should only have about a 2 hour drive. The resort opens at 2 and the park at 5. I am doing the club level there again. However, I was disappointed this summer I hope it is a little better. After PBH club level I don't think I can match Universal's club level.

Mac I was so glad to read you got out for a few hours and did some stuff . I hope you are continuing feeling better and have a great time at Uni. I hope you can do everything you want.

Patty, Lynne, Keisha, Schumi and Robo I hope you continue to have a great time

Tink glad you are feeling better

Monykalyn Wow you did have a busy weekend. I hope all went well. It will be nice if you can make it to the band competition next weekend. Good luck I hope they do great!

to all the rest of Sans Family I missed and hope everyone has a great day!

 

[schumigirl]

Have a great trip Lynne.......glad you arrived safe!

Vicki........missed you were sick!.......glad to hear you’re doing better.........

Bobbie, have a good trip........sounds like fun!

Janet........love the pic!! We make a happy bunch ..........the young lady who looked after us said when we saw her again we all looked to be really enjoying our meet.......told her, yep, we did!! Sorry I missed meeting your boy, you’ll be glad to have him here Wednesday........bet he’s been looking forward to this trip!!


Had a short meet with mac and Robo last night at HHN ........was so nice to catch up.........



It was busy last night........although we walked on to Halloween and Poltergeist with no wait. Scary Tales took around 5 minutes and ST was 15........we were lucky after talking to others who waited much longer..........thank goodness for Express Pass. Even shorter lines must have seemed longer with crowds and heat...........I know some people manage without EP........but, nope.......wouldn’t do HHN without EP.......ever!

Lazy day today, went over for first morning of new Club Lounge at RP...... then did some serious shopping, met a friend for lunch.........now back in room sipping champagne that was very kindly sent to us and thinking about packing up a little.........goodness knows how we are going to manage everything in those cases!!

Will just have some more sparkly and not think about it right now...........think we may be charged for extra heavy cases this time.........

Have a great Monday all...........

Afternoon Sans family

Lynne glad to hear you here and settled at the Mouse house.

Keisha’s great pics of you and your Mr.

Glad to hear you were able to get a few houses done.

The group picture of you and Schumi and your hubbys is fantastic. A happy group for sure.

Mac and I met for lots of chatting a Stranger Things House. Always good to see her.


Enjoyed a quick chat with Schumi and her husband. They are as lovely in person as they are in their pictures.

Walked over to IOA for lunch. It’s pretty dead here. I’am watching the Hulk go round and it only looks half full.

Yes my DS seems thrilled. Well until he remembers I snore, loudly haha

I believe servers name was Tia from Long Island. Gave her a big shout out on the survey. It’s been some time since we had a server pace the meal so well. Not to mention she was a charmer!

Halloween was one house we skipped no EP line was really long Friday both times we passed it

Hope u took pics of new lounge!

Have fun in parks all. We are in the members lounge at Epcot taking a breather. Only in park since 2 pm but seems far longer Least it’s not that hot or humid today

Robbie & mac probably meeting up with minions for some mischief

Patty being skooled how to drink some fine vino Couldn’t find a single F&w event to rick my boat this year. a bit of a meh for us this year

Lynne likely has-slinky dog in her sights and this point

Shout out to all!

We thought the wine seminar was very good! A representative of the winery in Oregon was there and he had video of the winery and its grounds and shared so much information! We tasted 2 Pinot Noirs! Joe and I learned a lot!

4 days until HHN again!

Bobbie- I can't wait to hear about Cedar Point! We'll definitely do Six Flags Darien Lake Frightfest when we return! Have loads of fun!!

 

[RAPstar]

Happy 1st of Halloween everyone!

 

[tink1957]

Hi Robbie

Happy 1st to you too!

 

[pattyw]

Yep- Robbie Happy 1st to you!!

 

[Lynne G]

Happy 1st Robo, not too late.

End day at AK, then late dinner at 10pm, with food court jammed.

I am beat, and will work on trying to post an elephant picture for Mac. Did regular safari twice, with no wait. Then did Dino and River ride with not much of a line, and found a seat for water show, like 2 minutes before started. Took 3rd bus before I could on. Guess hotel is booked full or close to. And on way to HS this morning, a lovely screaming kid the whole ride. Other than that, met some nice people. Think maybe MK tomorrow, though still thinking maybe party, but since did one in August, not sure I need to repeat. Weather may play a part of my decision.

Have a good night homies.

 

[schumigirl]

Thank you Robo........it was a short but nice catch up with you both.........can’t believe we forgot to take a picture......after we walked away I realised we hadn’t ..........maybe next time.........

Janet........lol.......yes, that’s why we have a King Suite reserved for us on our trip with Kyle........the poor lad wouldn’t get a minutes sleep with us........of course I don’t snore........much....... I know you will love having your boy with you again for this one.........and sharing a room is fun......we actually love it!!!

Yes, Tia has looked after us a few times in there.......she is lovely.......and yes, doesn’t rush you. When we first met her she had just been promoted to that job but she did really well, and yes, doesn’t ever rush you.......hope we see her at breakfast today..........enjoy rest of your trip..........



Yep, time to go home day...........always seems to come around so quickly.........but we have had an absolute blast.......some days doing not very much!! But always having fun.........how can 19 nights go so quickly.......may have to make it longer next year..........

Hotels have been perfect as always..........love both of these hotels so much. Used the new fully functioning Club Lounge for breakfast and evening apps last night........it will be well liked I believe........and we were handed by the CL manager a card which made me cry a little. It was a Thank you card and each member of staff had written some words for us and it was so lovely........we were blown away! So nice of them and we were incredibly touched......it’s usually us giving them a thank you card! But, so thoughtful.

So, although we’re sad to be leaving today..........we’ll be back soon and cannot wait!!!

Did online check in for flight last night so hopefully it’s still going on time.........and Kyle has taken tomorrow afternoon off so he’ll be there when we get home........cannot wait to give my boy a big hug!!!

Next time I post think we’ll be back in cold and dull UK.

Hope everyone still here enjoys the rest of their trip.........I’m sad we missed some folks......Lynne, Patty, Tgrgrl and Holly and Hank (@AtTheRoyal) we just didn’t manage to meet up this time.........we think we have so much time then it’s almost gone........but we’ve had the best time between RP and SF...........liking the idea of doing a split stay again as we really love both hotels a lot.........feel very much at home in both.........

Have a great Tuesday...........and have fun in the sun

Morning Sans family





Morning Schumi you and your Mr. have a safe trip back across the pond.

You are taking some Florida sunshine with you in your heart....you will be back before you know it.

I saw Puss in Boots yesterday in Lost Continent it was so cute to see the little children’s reaction to the character.

Going to do some sister time today and a little shopping at Mall at Millenia....will blame all money spent at Tiffany on Schumi...LOL......I had never been to Mall at Millenia until I read about it in one of your trip reports about 3 years ago.

As always your adventures around Orlando and beyond help others like my self find treasures to enjoy outside the park.

Starbucks is calling my name.

Lynne enjoy your time at MK.

Pattyw hope they are spoiling you and your Mr. at HRH.
