Something About Nothing ... #12

And.......because we all know someone like this............

The family and I are heading to universal the end of april, 27-30 and I'm starting to worry. I don't know how I missed it, but I see that grad bash is on the 29th. I don't mind the parks closing early, but how are the crowds during the day? I read conflicting reports about it not really affecting crowds to its a steady stream of teens all day. We have a three day park pass and wasn't sure if I should skip Friday now?

 

[Bluer101]

What happened to the AK-47 thread?!?!? I was ready to have some fun with that! Lmao
Probably for the better as I would been kicked off the boards. Those of you that have meet me know what I'm talking about....
The truck rolls out in about 7 hours. TD, do you have your bags packed? I can scoop you up at the 231 and I10 exit.

Been checking rates this weekend and thinking about coming up Saturday morning for one night. PBH has openings right now. Idk.

Welcome Robing! Pcstang will be there with ya. As said on the previous page, most likely just go on Friday. While there are teens that will be arriving for grad night, go early, hit the popular ones first thing, and leave later in the afternoon. While it may be somewhat crowded, there are places to find some room, and you will be fine.

Enjoy!

Couldn't resist. And hey, where's Keisha?

and a funny:

And with that, I am on my large cup of tea, and enjoying a beautiful sunrise, even if it's only 28 degrees out.

Hope Pcstang and gang are on their way. Good morning fellas!

 

[pcstang]

Definitely let me know if you make it up! I'll have my son and nephew with me at RPR.

 

[pcstang]

Thanks Lynne! We are hitting the road soon. Fridge guys are here....again. Hopefully, the 9th time is a charm...lol

So glad you are here!

The park will close early as the bash opens at 7 that night

I would guess many of the teens would come around 5 that day, believe some have school that day

I would do the parks early and leave if crowd levels become an issue

Do city walk or hotel dinner for an early dinner

Since you have 3 day passes might as well use them during your stay

 

[pcstang]

I'll report back Friday night as to how the parks were for grad bash. We are going that day so we shall see.

@keishashadow Yeah I live locally so I drive down. Takes me about 4.5 to get to disney and 4 to get to UO so there's no point for me not to drive. Ive just never seen the worth for me. Now, universal I LOVE not seeing my car until check-out. I love express pass. I love walking to the park. I love boating to the park. I love eating at City Walk and wobbling back less than sober. However, disney and buses... I dont like buses and I can't afford the places that car connected via boat. I hate buses. Did I mention I dont like buses? I have flashbacks from when I was younger. I can see the appeal, it just doesn't appeal to me. I get free parking at the parks now with AP which is a HUGE plus. Before that happened I was considering staying onsite for my sisters birthday. Then that happened and we both agreed we like our condo and having our own room.

i hate buses but try to ride the disney ones at least once per trip...that's where you get all the juicy info lol

MonyK........glad you're back on your feet again........it can really knock it out of you.........

Keisha..........yep, if I was going to Disney anymore it would still be onsite for that time.......maybe Grand Floridian........the one I hated was AKL.........that place gave me the creeps......so dark and did not give me a happy feeling at all........but I did like GF. Convenience all the way for us.........

A good friend said something to me years ago and I live by it......sometimes it's about more than money. Sounds good to me........

Mac..........ahhhhh will keep it for email.......too much to say........



Breezy and cool looking this morning........got some housework planned today.......little bit of this and that and some internet time I'm sure.........still sorting out pics on trip report....changing from thumbnails to real pics.......taking forever but easier to do on laptop...........

hmmph AKV is one of our DVC homes, i'm insulted lol jk

but seriously, one of my fav things in Disney is enjoying my 1st cuppa coffee on my balcony with one of these fellas



OT i posted some pics on a thread here of BG safari wherein we hand-fed them, oh so cool experience.

Been checking rates this weekend and thinking about coming up Saturday morning for one night. PBH has openings right now. Idk.

go for it! I was shocked to be able to pull together last trip in one day, less than a week out

Couldn't resist. And hey, where's Keisha?

i've been looking for pic of minion on a camel for months lol

I'll report back Friday night as to how the parks were for grad bash. We are going that day so we shall see.

Keisha, this is the only one I've ever found so far, and I think Schumi posted it at least once before:

Lol........must be my day for putting my foot in it........... I'm sure it's lovely really......... Although I could blame it on the couple who were showing us their room..........friends of friends and I wasn't a fan.........so that could have clouded my judgement........(digs myself out of hole.........) Gimme 5 minutes and it'll be the best place on earth.........lol...........


Absolutely freezing here today.........not snow or anything, but an icy wind that feels like it's straight from Siberia! Didn't go out at all.......will be out tomorrow as I have dentist appointment, so plan to go shopping afterwards.

Lasagne for dinner tonight............very hungry actually tonight.........

 

[Lynne G]

Umm, oh yeah, hope Pcstang's refrigerator finally decides it will work without needing fixing. Hope he's on the road, and having a peaceful ride.

That's for you Keisha. Thanks for the code, while it only really saved me $25 for October, mucho appreciated. Wasn't good for my December trip, but hey, money is money, and I appreciate any savings!

GO FOR IT! What's the worst that could happen...(Besides being nearly trampled to death in the mad rush of thousands of kids RUNNING in as you leave....True Story).
Took my Autistic son to USO on Bashing Grads day year before last, and seriously...as we were leaving at 4:45-ish...here came the stampede. I actually heard them before I saw them!!! Looked like Walmart's Black Friday/ $20 TV Sale STAMPEDE!!!
As for our time in the park that day...very moderate crowds.

Janet.......question for you........when you guys book your car rental.......you can then have price amended to include discounts??? Is that right........

 

[ky07]

Good afternoon homies
Quick drive by to say hi

 

[Monykalyn]

Back at work today- thank goodness it's a slower day - will probably leave a bit early.

As for appliance drama- hope the fridge works out (or just keeps working??lol). We have ants around our dishwasher and cannot figure out where they are coming from. DH is convinced from somewhere "inside" dishwasher (although he has torn it apart, moved it and other appliances out and cleaned them all). He was only half joking last night when he asked if I wanted a new dishwasher (it is a white appliance and stove and micro are new and stainless so we oils get dw to match). Gonna try borax

yes ma'am or just make a new one & cancel the old
there's a corporate code that's producing too for alamo
Vegas brazil, 7016427
out of a las vegas travel agency, have been using for year +. My comfort level equates making sure the CDW isn't included 'free' with the code. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Just don't want to mess with subrogation if accident as to who is picking up the difference between my primary insurance and the rental car CDW.
