Something About Nothing ... #12

[Sue M]

Lynne lovely pics! Glad the rain held off. Your daughter looks gorgeous.

 

[PoohIsHome]

@Lynne G What lovely pics of your daughter! Nothing like prom night!

@Robo56 How truly awful! I will most certainly keep your family in my thoughts. I can't even begin to imagine. ❤

 

[Monykalyn]

Received a phone call when I woke from my nap yesterday that my older sisters grandson died tragically. He was only 19.

Oh no I cannot imagine the pain your family is feeling. I hope family being together provides some comfort.

Well boy talked me into pool time, bought floats for lazy river and spent a couple hours there. Shower and off to City walk for dinner. Tried Pat OBriens as they are having a passholder special (free dessert if get two entrees plus 15% off for premier). One and done. It was just ok. The best part was the bread pudding which was actually fabulous.
Then we went to IoA for a couple rides- somehow Spider-Man seems to always be our first ride, then did Kong, the FJ got a butter beer and headed out.
Will see if we want to do EE tomorrow-DD wants to wander around Diagon Alley...


And I did a thing: got a call from Carnival offering upgrade to Grand Suite for $478 total - well I took it! Huge space and priority boarding. I had bought upgrade to get faster boarding so I can get a refund on that ~$60. Really excited for the huge balcony now!

Are you staying at CB? I love lazy rivers and planned on going over to check it out but......sigh!

Woohoo for upgrade! That’s fantastic!

Aww, my DH came to watch her go off with her 16 other friends in a huge white limo. He said, our little one is grown up. Yeah, and we are so proud of her.

All 17 kids:

Little one and her friend:

View attachment 404736

Need a ride? Get in....View attachment 404737

Senior prom is a go.

Could not do outside nice pictures as was raining most of the time. Good thing was, as got to where limo was, rain held off.

Now I may be asleep before she comes home, though I will wake when I hear rthe door open. Then I usually go back to sleep if I get a reply.

And a final hehe, DH asked why little one had socks in her pocketbook. Do you think those girls dance around in those high heels? Yep, shoes and purses go in a big pile, as the girls all dance in socks. Don’t blame them.

She looks lovely Lynne......yep, you must be so proud!!!

I don't blame her for taking socks to dance in.....my nephews new wife changed into comfy white sparkly tennis shoes when the dancing started at their wedding.....she said she wanted to dance at her wedding in comfort.....quite right too…...

But, lovely pictures you have of her and her friends........yes, all grown up now.....

Schumi glad to hear driveway is coming along and dust isn’t too bad.

Monykalyn where is this Peach Valley? Sounds yummy.

Sue, the Peach Valley Cafe we used near Universal on Dr Phillips Blvd has closed down. It was a lovely little place and not many tourists compared to other places...….food was good and incredibly fresh.......there is another on S Orange Ave, Monyk must have gone to that one......glad to hear it was as good though


MonyK…...Fabulous upgrade!!!!!! Oh you`ll love that huge balcony!!!! Sound perfect...….look forward to seeing pictures!!!!!



We have rain this morning.…...very miserable grey day......glad I don't have to go out anywhere.....

Guys are here and first mugs of tea have been distributed already......quite a few of them today!!

So, I have been helping a few friends organise trips to Orlando and further afield. I need to pick a few people`s brains about Disney as I don't go there so have no clue......although the new Star Wars stuff looks amazing!!!! And as a non star wars fan, that's saying something......but I never read the Disney boards...….why would you read boards of places you don't go???

Will do a little research this morning......thankfully there is a ton of helpful folks around...….although trying to explain the booking fast pass and Disney dining is a hard sell...….it verges on genius!!!!

So, that's my day ahead...….little trip report, little research......and making mugs of tea for the guys outside...….

Have a great Friday...…….

 

[Lynne G]

Oh no, I enjoyed that Peach Valley on Dr. Phillips too, but glad you told about its closing, Schumi. Was a quick ride from RPR.

And a nice Friday is here.

Woke up couple of minutes after 12:30am. Little one said she was going to bed, when I called out if it was her. Then sleep for both of us.

And thank you for all nice comments about little one. She is a good kid.

and a big woot! Great upgrade MonyK, and refund too. I would be on that too if offered for that price. Have a perfect cruise, and pool time looked fun. I like lazy rivers.

Once again I would stick my hand out for tea. Nice of you to continue to provide drinks to the driveway workers, Schumi. Enjoy those quotes, and nice you are helping a friend plan their holiday trip to the Mouse.

Hey, it is Friday. A dance or two for that.

 

[PoohIsHome]

FRIDAY!!!!!

@Monykalyn Fabulous score on the upgrade for your cruise!!! I'd LOVE to do a cruise......if it weren't for that whole ship out in the wide open waters thing. LOL!

Ahhh, lazy rivers. Nothing like a warm bath with a couple thousand of your closest friends. Makes me miss Water Country in Williamsburg. We lived close enough that Corey and I would go several times a week for a couple hours after I'd get off work and the timing was perfect. We'd get there just as the roasted tourists would be heading out.

@schumigirl How kind of you to use what you've learned over the years to help others plan their vacations. We thought about Disney this fall specifically for Star Wars, but when I explained the planning and the rigid adherence to a schedule while on vacation.....well, we're booked at HRH for a reason.

@macraven Thinking about that dr's appointment you have today.

@Robo56 Thinking of your family. ❤

 

[Charade67]

Good morning everyone. I’m up earlier than I would like to be. I just put tonight’s dinner in the crock pot. Later this morning I have to take Caspian to the vet for his yearly checkup and rabies shot. I tried giving him his medication this morning (to calm him before going to the vet) but he refused to eat the food with the medication in it. Thankfully dh is home and will help me get him into the carrier.
After the vet we are going shopping. B wants a new pair of slip on shoes to wear on the airplane. I have suggested Skechers GoWalk. I probably need to replace one of my pair. I’ve been wearing them about 3 years and they are starting to come apart. I hate to get rid of them because they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

Aww, my DH came to watch her go off with her 16 other friends in a huge white limo.

She looks beautiful. Love the limo. B went to prom in an old Toyota.

Charade busy day, glad everything worked out! Looking forward to updates when you can! I agree with Robo, about iPhone camera! Works quite well. My hotel just dropped $50. So I asked for adjustment. Now that you mentioned price drops I’m going to keep watching my rates!

I think dh might be bringing his laptop on vacation. He’s teaching some online classes during summer and needs to stay connected to his classes. If he brings it I should be able to borrow it to make a few posts.

And I did a thing: got a call from Carnival offering upgrade to Grand Suite for $478 total - well I took it! Huge space and priority boarding. I had bought upgrade to get faster boarding so I can get a refund on that ~$60. Really excited for the huge balcony now!

Wow, congrats on the upgrade.

So, I have been helping a few friends organise trips to Orlando and further afield. I need to pick a few people`s brains about Disney as I don't go there so have no clue......although the new Star Wars stuff looks amazing!!!! And as a non star wars fan, that's saying something......but I never read the Disney boards...….why would you read boards of places you don't go???

We do minimal planning when going to Disney. We book dinning reservations and fast passes, but that is about all. I never even know about touring plans until a couple of years ago. I recommend downloading the park app. We found it quite helpful for monitoring ride wait times.


I’m off to get ready to start the day. I’d rather go back to sleep.

 

[Monykalyn]

Morning all. No plans this am, needed to sleep. Kids are still out.
LOVE Cabana Bay, I’ve stayed in Disney Values too, but his has sooo many more amenities (including pool slides, hot tubs etc). We are in Thunderbird building, high floor facing pool. So easy to glance out and see if chairs available. Love the kitchenette-cup of coffee in hand, yogurt for breakfast, water chilling for later. We did buy pool drinks yesterday with the souvenir cup- hoo boy were they strong, but good. I think I drank two bottles of water to make up for it. Lazy river surprisingly isn’t too crowded!

Lynne your daughter is just gorgeous and that dress was beautiful. Looks like it was custom made for her, and I adore that color!

Schumi OMG I need buttons made with those minions memes!

there is another on S Orange Ave, Monyk must have gone to that one......glad to hear it was as good though

Yep that’s the one. Friendly efficient staff, food was good and they bring this fab fritters hot in a paper bag to table and shake them up with the cinnamon sugar right at your table-mmmmm. Loved the summer salad. Boy didn’t care for the chicken pot pie- I thought it was good, but I think a heavier dish than he bargained for-tried to warm him! Happy planning for friends Disney trip! Can’t say I miss that - while I enjoyed the anticipation once there it was again to have to follow schedules, FP times, ADRs...it’s why we utilized lounges more and more and winged it on FP.

Thinking it might be time to wake the kiddos...boy wants a new pair of sandals, and pool time. Maybe parks later. Friends coming off cruise May be coming later too, as they have some time to kill before flight home tonight.

Charade I hope you do get to do some posts even if it’s just pictures! Haven’t been to Cali since I was 6!

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Live report from MonyK. Sounds like a perfect stay at CB. Have not stayed there, but maybe one of these days. Spoiled that we like the Portofino and also RPR, have no desire to stay at HR, but will stay at SF this Fall. Endless looks good too, as a 2 bedroom at a good price, would be welcome. Cruise is coming soon for you, and nice if friends could say hello, before their flight home. And definitely would like to see pictures of your awesome upgraded cabin.

Trip getting so close Charade. Yep, good, worn, walking shoes are perfect for vacation. Hope B and you find ones to break in quick, so have them for your trip. And yes, it's been about 5 years since we were in DL, so happy to see pictures if you can post. And yeah, my Dsis had to drug her one cat when going to the vet. Seems the first time that cat went, bit the vet and drew blood. Hence, that cat had to be very drugged to visit the vet. Siamese, and boy was he stubborn, and not always friendly.

And yay! It's Friday is right, Pooh. Hope all is good with you and family.

Robo, still sending prayers, and thinking of you, with sympathy.

Mac, hope you pass all the tests today. And find a cup of coffee.

Tink, if you are working today, hope it goes quick, and you enjoy some wine tonight.

With that, it's almost cool inside, tea is needed. And ooh, someone brought in Munchkins. Sweet.

Sun is shining and the only day the weather guy said had no chance of rain. Those changes will continue tomorrow. But that's okay. 84 the high, and walk for lunch will be just lovely.

 

[tink1957]

Robo, so sorry to hear about your loss. We lost my nephew at 26 back in the 90s and I know how devastating it is

Lynne...love the pics of your little one...she is beautiful.

Hope Mac's dr visit goes well and she passes the tests with flying colors.

Bon voyage monyk...have a boat drink or 2 for me

Hi to Carole, Janet, patty sue, charade, Bobbie and anyone else who is reading along...hope you have a wonderful day and I get this posted before the popups shut me off like the past few times.

Yep, love helping them......but they’re fussy! So it’s fun......lol......yes, I’d avoid SW for a long time!!!

Planning rides is alien to me. Cannot get my head around it......and wouldn’t be a thing I’d do......one of the reasons Disney doesn’t appeal......but trying to explain to folks who have never been, dining reservations and which park do you want to go to on a certain day....well, it’s a hard sell.......
Universal is so much easier to arrange for them!!!

Lol......I liked them too!!!

I’m glad to know that other location is good......some folks were asking me about it and I said I’d never been.....now I can tell them it’s a good one!!!
Yes, schedules are not for us.....and friends so far aren’t liking the sound of certain things.....but we’ll plough through.......so far they’ve decided on either Grand Floridian or......wait for it,.........somewhere else......lol......

Yes, helpful comment Arabella.........very helpful........

Robo, so sorry to hear about your loss. We lost my nephew at 26 back in the 90s and I know how devastating it is

How dreadful Vicki. Not sure where you begin to heal from that.....not sure you ever do!

Hope you’re doing ok.........



It’s warm but dull.......load of washing out on line and dried.........ironing tonight........

Making a (I think) lovely fish pie for tonight.......Kyle isn’t keen on it, so making him mac n cheese.......he’s easy to please.

Guys have gone for the day.......back Monday and should be finished by Friday next week........will see it through iPad when it’s done till I get home.....

Time for a cuppa........

 

[bobbie68]

Morning It was a busy two days getting ready for Liv's scholar award last night. It turned out very nice. We had some family and friends join us so it was nice to share. For this event they pick the top 10 students from the 2 high schools. It was nice they gave the recipients a corasge with the school colors. There were a lot of family and friends as well as teachers. It was nice some of the teachers that Liv listed as influential for her came and they brought her cards and gifts. It was such a surprise but a wonderful thought. Liv was beaming all night and I had some tears (happy)through mine. The food was good and overall a great night.



Tonight for celebrating Liv's last day of school she wants to go to the Asian Buffet for dinner. Off we go there and no cooking.

It is cool but sunny finally today!!!

Thanks everyone for the happy house hunting wishes!!!

Robo I am so sorry for your loss. A loss like that is so hard to comprehend. I hope you and your family find peace in this tough time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mac Sending good thoughts and wishes for your doctor appointment today.

Monykalyn I am so glad to hear you report in from Cabana Bay. Love the resort it is so much fun! Great score on the upgrade, we had one on our cruise best thing ever! Have a great trip!

Lynne Your daughter looked beautiful!! Wow I don't think I have seen a limo that big! It looks like they were going to have a lot of fun!!

Charade countdown yay!! Oh I hope you find the pair of shoes that are comfy for you. There is nothing like walking in a park with uncomfortable shoes. I can't wait to hear about your trip. Good luck at the vet!!

Tink Nice to see you post and have a great day!

Keishashadow I made a stir fry with tofu last week and the teens really enjoyed it. We are trying to watch our meat intake. I do love chicken stir fry. My sentiments exactly I could stay in bed during the rain.

Sue I hope you had a nice lunch with your friends. I hope the weather stays good!!

Pooh I know how you feel about holding on to your teen going up a year. It feels like just yesterday I said she was going to high school. Wow only 40 graduating Liv has 225 in her graduating class. Enjoy the summer with him.

Patty I hope you are getting the warm Florida weather soon. Enjoy your six flags trips! I go there sometimes just to eat on the dining plan!!

Schumi That is so cool that you help friends plan their trips! They must have a great time when you do! I have done that too and enjoy it very much. I have thought about a travel agent but they aren't used as much any more. Glad that you are having nice weather. I hope it warms up here for you next week!! Fish pie? I have not made that it sounds good!

Well I am off I hope everyone has a great day!!

 

[macraven]

I’ll catch up and read all the posts later today
I’m behind in this thread

Back home from doc appointment and failed the test
Back Tuesday to the hospital for 4th test
I’m dropping this subject now so I don’t have to think about it

Back later today

Hope all going fine for the homies

It’s friday and weekend about to start!
Sunshine and lollipops time for all
Woot..

 

[keishashadow]

TGIFhad plans for GD’s doubleheader softball game this evening. Trying contain my disappointment the 2nd one has been forfeited haha not. Oldest DS treating to celebrate my Mr’s BD, woot. Nothing much else planned for this weekend as Mr is working it. Somebody has to pay for those vacations.

Mac hang in there!

Well, I should get up and do something productive, but there is a Thor movie coming on in a few minutes. I think I will just sit and watch.

Near perfect evening in my book, he is so easy on the eyes. Did u see last Avenger’s movie Hahahaha what a hoot he is in it

And a final hehe, DH asked why little one had socks in her pocketbook. Do you think those girls dance around in those high heels? Yep, shoes and purses go in a big pile, as the girls all dance in socks. Don’t blame them.

OMG, the Louie’s plopped in a heap on the floor? I may faint lol

She is absolutely stunning Lynne!

And I did a thing: got a call from Carnival offering upgrade to Grand Suite for $478 total - well I took it! Huge space and priority boarding. I had bought upgrade to get faster boarding so I can get a refund on that ~$60. Really excited for the huge balcony now!

She shoots & scores, big time!!! Wowzer, please post pics! PS the priority boarding on CCL out of PC is a need, not a want.

So, I have been helping a few friends organise trips to Orlando and further afield. I need to pick a few people`s brains about Disney as I don't go there so have no clue......although the new Star Wars stuff looks amazing!!!! And as a non star wars fan, that's saying something......but I never read the Disney boards...….why would you read boards of places you don't go???

I term it board envy. At least they spread their malcontent around.

Yes, SW looks absolutely amazing. Have heard from several people asking for advice how to navigate it. Anybody who says they know is full of it, it’s a big unknown, especially as to how the crowds will impact things.

Good morning everyone. I’m up earlier than I would like to be. I just put tonight’s dinner in the crock pot. Later this morning I have to take Caspian to the vet for his yearly checkup and rabies shot. I tried giving him his medication this morning (to calm him before going to the vet) but he refused to eat the food with the medication in it.

After the vet we are going shopping. B wants a new pair of slip on shoes to wear on the airplane. I have suggested Skechers GoWalk. I probably need to replace one of my pair. I’ve been wearing them about 3 years and they are starting to come apart. I hate to get rid of them because they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

stuffing a cat into a carrier is one of life’s major challenges.

Saw a ton of that style of Skechers at ross this week on heavy discount, none in my size though. Would be hesitant to order online, they always seem to run huge.

Morning all. No plans this am, needed to sleep. Kids are still out.
LOVE Cabana Bay, I’ve stayed in Disney Values too, but his has sooo many more amenities (including pool slides, hot tubs etc). We are in Thunderbird building, high floor facing pool.

We did buy pool drinks yesterday with the souvenir cup- hoo boy were they strong, but good. I think I drank two bottles of water to make up for it. Lazy river surprisingly isn’t too crowded!

Nice to hear you are enjoying it

I’m trying to wrap my head around trying CB but have a few reservations. Akin to the disney values some of the rooms seem so far flung from pool & bus stop. Decidedly not a fan at end of long day to have a longer hike back to room. Let’s just say I walked to parks once from RP and let it end there lol

Have you walked over to SF & hopped on the boat to parks? Wondering how long that whole process would take.

Yay! Live report from MonyK. Sounds like a perfect stay at CB. Have not stayed there, but maybe one of these days. Spoiled that we like the Portofino and also RPR, have no desire to stay at HR, but will stay at SF this Fall.

HR is so nice as to walkability and pool pretty cool too, missed it when hands were tied with the youfirst program. I adore SF! Vibe is so cool, think it has the best pool & overall food quality for standard restuarants onsite

Planning rides is alien to me. Cannot get my head around it......and wouldn’t be a thing I’d do......one of the reasons Disney doesn’t appeal......but trying to explain to folks who have never been, dining reservations and which park do you want to go to on a certain day....well, it’s a hard sell.......
Universal is so much easier to arrange for them!!!

I just switched a hoop de doo (dinner show) reservation for 7/3 around yesterday. Have been watching like a hawk for the slot to open.

As for anybody saying they know ‘how to beat’ the inevitable SW crush

I need to jump into planning DL trip for August. It’s even more complicated with max pass system. Hope it’s one of those things that once you stumble thru first day it becomes easier to understand

Keishashadow I made a stir fry with tofu last week and the teens really enjoyed it. We are trying to watch our meat intake. I do love chicken stir fry. My sentiments exactly I could stay in bed during the rain.

First, love the pic of you & your DD, a doppelgänger, had to look for the corsage.

I want to like tofu, really do, it’s the texture that throws me. This go round on the stir fry I used 1/4 of the chicken I normally do. Not by choice, only had one large breast in upstairs freezer. With all the veggies, it made enough for 4 large servings and nobody noticed the change! Small steps add up.

 

[Lynne G]

How nice for Liv, and wonderful picture, Bobbie. Ah, high school ending so soon. Poor little one still has 2 more weeks, before graduation.

Keisha, sounds like a good week-end. Yep, was never one to boo hoo after a forfeit. Score for that just before 4th of July ressie. I find for most, patience is the word. That, and lucky. It is a Friday, so go enjoy. Kids thought our weather was great, so they are relaxing at my Dsis's pool. Some one's gotta pay for the car, so here I am with office lights, no pool in sight.

Oh Mac, sorry to hear, but hope all is well with round 4. Sending mummy dust your way.

And with kids ending camp and going back to school, seriously thinking about enjoying some Potter in between. Seems no APH, but SMSM available. Maybe 4 or 5 nights. Have to see airfare. Hmmmm, more use of my and little one's AP. Burning hole pocket? Maybe. Just maybe.

 

[tink1957]

Hope you’re doing ok.........

I will always remember Michael as the little boy I took fishing every time he came to visit his Grandpa and for the awesome man he grew up to be.

Here's a link to a story about how he died... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw0R5qGuENxmWWACFe3qrH6P&cshid=1559322610981

Vicki that is heartbreaking.

But, what a true hero he was. It was so touching to read, how he saved all those people, and staying with the man and helped keep him conscious, that was an incredible act and shows what kind of man he was. We need more people like that in the world.....thank you for sharing that story of your Michael.....

 

[Lynne G]

Tink, so horrible to hear about your loss of nephew, and how he died, being so kind and helpful to all, without concern for him. May he always be remembered, and as a hero to many.
