Something About Nothing ... #12

OMG Shumi, I'm so craving some Maltesers now. They are like the best chocolate ever. I think they're my fave.

I would like an ikea cat. Especially if it's that cute!

Been stuck in the factory all day again today. So nice to come out into the sun and fresh air. the flowers are starting to bloom and it's so pretty.

Box is almost gone Rachel was big box too...........but they're so light.......and I'm making excuses now.....very moreish........and I claim not to eat chocolate!!! I do like maltesers though........

Enjoy the sunshine......still beautiful here too........sun is still fairly warm even here by the sea.....will be nice to get out in your garden once weather gets better......

@schumigirl i am sure we just bastardized that word here in the states! it definitely has a similar meaning - but i have always heard it as a noun instead of a verb. "That dang zombie is such a moocher - always coming over here and eating everything in site - never giving anything in return - sheesh. What a mooch". now that i think of it - it kind of has a negative connotation! LOL

so i officially took off from work the week of may 9 to go back to the darkside! woot woot! i am being so indecisive about where i want to stay! uggghhhhhh. decisions decisions. we are having work done in the backyard so i am just hesitant to spend what we normally spend (because let's be clear, i ALSO want to go back in June / July). i almost booked at cabana bay - but then changed it to the hard rock at the last second. I can say this here - but I am just worried I won't like it. And...even though it shouldn't be busy - i think i would regret not having FOTL. My youngest brother is also coming with and i think he would like the vibe there. He is the only one in the fam not married with children.

You are a smart homie


You would miss the free unlimited express pass


Believe me you would
Even if there are no long line waits, it is a tremendous help for entering the shows in advance

[tink1957]

Speaking of moochers...hey Carole...how about bringing some of those Malteser's with you on your next visit to the darkside and if you wanted to share with a friend that would be awesome

Speaking of cats...my little Luna surprised me with 4 kittens a few days ago...guess I waited too late to get her fixed

Nice to see our returning homies here, hope all who were feeling poorly are better now.

It's been another beautiful day here...time for me to watch the Braves game and Survivor later on.

Horror make up show
Animal actors on parade

lynne - how'd u get my old glamour shot?

carole - what- no doughnuts? I am lusting for a piece of boulangerie's cheesecake.

should have one more nice day before the much needed april showers head in here. was a nice run indeed, tinkered with 80 degrees one day.

re AP's, don't get in line behind megeneral apologies to all. I'm one of those shifty characters whose fingerprints don't 'read', same as at WDW...too much trolling the internet must've worn them off. Always have my photo ID in hand when approaching the turnstyle, but do miss the old card w/photo, they'd usually just glance & wave me thru.

will renew DH's PAP in few weeks when there, a month prior to his expiration date. Wonder if they'd let me do mine to before the inevenitable renwal price hike?

Got our renewal email last week. We have the 3 of ours to renew by the end of May.

 

[Bluer101]

I logged into my renewal and this is what it is for preferred AP.

 

[macraven]

Bluer, when i renewed i was told i got the FLO rate.
but it was at about $239.62 for my preferred pass.

what is the tax rate?

 

[Bluer101]

6 percent. How did you get FL rate.

 

[macraven]

i live in georgia.
i moved right before christmas

georgia residents are allowed the florida ticket rates.

Apparently I use that word more than I realised.......I do like to use it in a positive way too I suppose......as in I was mooching around the parks.........lol......all these words that have more than one meaning.......yay to another trip!!! Nice to take your brother along too......he`ll love it there I imagine............

I am off to research that link!!!!! Lol.........we all know a moocher or 2 I think!!!! I know I do...........

How cute on the cats.........do you give them away after so long?? I can "try" and bring you some maltesers.......not promising they`ll still be unopened by time you get there........lol.........it`s the thought that counts though.....right.......

HeHe, it is Thursday schumi. Thanks for the image. Funny, never heard of the candy you enjoy, but we have malted balls, that sound like the same. I'm sure the chocolate in ours is not as lush.

Ahhh, I am getting used to this beautiful sunrise. It's still cool in the low 40's, but oh so bright. Cooler week-end to come, thanks to rain and a cold front, and that means watching soccer games in the 60 degree days. Light winter jacket will be in use. DD is at a track meet that goes late into the night. I hate late night school/work nights. At least they have awesome weather for the races. She's hoping I'll find her and bring her dinner. Umm, maybe Chinese takes out, that would be easy for me.

So,

Homies, and hope all have a great day!

Wait. Back up. WHAT??? First things - didn't know you moved down here - WELCOME!!! Second - our renewals are in July (one in June). This is great news!!!! Although it seems like it went up a lot from last year. Yikes.

 

[keishashadow]

I logged into my renewal and this is what it is for preferred AP.

i paid somewhere in area of $189 pre tax last year after 'slipping in' months early (4+ months pre-price increase).

called APH # yesterday to try & renew the mr's which expires near end of June and mine that's up in October.

Rep said system is now very strict as to maximum of 30 days prior and post for renewal and told me "no". Certainly odd to have any travel business in orlando turn down taking my money.

my thot is they want to shut down people from renewing early, as in those who are attempting to beat the inevitable renewal price that accompanies new AP increases.

however, it could be the old luck of the draw...if you call back enough times you may get the answer you want type of thing. Naturally, i'll be calling back regularly
