Something About Nothing ... #12

[macraven]

Was out today and for some reason I thought it was Friday

Had to recheck the calendar here
Only Thursday and no rain

But do see some dark clouds in the sky and wishing they would move over on top of my house

We are going to take a look around SF when we are there end of Sept. Would have stayed there with the low cost and the $150.00 dining incentive, but did not want to give up EP and being spoiled at PBH.

There was so much work yet to be done when we left at end of May. Hope they make their opening deadline with all things completed.

My exact thoughts! I would LOVE to stay there... but Express pass. I'm a september baby and sapphire is my birthstone. I feel I have an obligation to stay there for some reason... one day.

I may be staying at Sapphire. Mike is waiting to hear from a TM friend about a discount. Otherwise, we're just gonna do the Clarion across the street. If I get too tired, I can just take a super cheap cab back lol.

Yeah, I looked long and hard about that $150 deal, but the thought of RPR just kept saying I am worth it. So, standard room at RPR won. Now, I don't think they have that deal any more, but I will sure take a peak when I am there in October.

Hehe, weather guy asked if we enjoyed the sauna today. That is what outside felt like. One giant sauna. Darn AC is still running. The gelati after practice just did not cool us off enough. Big cup of ice tea and lemonade being worked on now. Night all.

I'm already booked for a few days at SF before I move over to RPR in Oct. We do the parks enough that we will just enjoy the resort and hang by the pool.

Will look forward to your report on your stay at SF. Looks pretty nice.

That topiary is cute! Is it a teddy bear or bunny?

SF most likely won't be on my list. I just can't see me doing the bus thang or not having EP.

Ran again today, and dark clouds hovering all around us. blah But at least it's keeping our temps down.

 

[RAPstar]

Looks like it's the Clarion for me, or the Super 8. We'll see lol.

Ribs still hurting a lot. It's terrible. Ughhh

SF has the water taxi also, but I'am with you. It would be hard to give up EP.

pcstang has a good idea above on doing a split stay to check it out.

when i got the code for SF and a $150 food credit for their hotel, was not tempted at all.
looking at the menus for their place, nothing caught my eye as in "i have to eat there"

nothing compares to my "home" at UO.


but for those that are interested in trying SF out, i hope your stay there is fabulous.

i saw the video that was posted in one of the threads today and it looks nice.
beautiful grounds and lobby.
maybe it was the angle of the camera but the bedrooms did nothing for me.

no bus at SF. It's connected by water tax and not that much further than RPR. Think PBH distance I think. Also connected by boat.

I've thought about checking SF out for a solo trip as I would be able to do single rider and not likely to miss the EP as much. Would definitely miss it with a partner in crime who is not willing to split to ride rides.

there is bus service at SF.
from their site they list that and the water taxi

• Complimentary shuttle buses, water taxis, and walking paths to both Universal Orlando™ theme parks and Universal CityWalk™

 

[SharkyGoddess]

I had no idea they had the eater taxi too, good to know. Still not giving up my EP If I do start making singleton trips, I may check it out.

 

[macraven]

i make single trips and don't plan to switch from the deluxe

Oh sorry! I guess I should have phrased that as "no NEED for bus." if I were there there would be NO bus. I don't do public buses without having to. No thanks.

I said water tax and you said eater taxi. I like yours better! Dinner boat? Yes please.

i do busses at the motherland.....

once i leave that resort, there is no way in hell i will step foot on a bus.......


i'm all "bussed out" by that time......lol


and spent plenty of time on busses and els in chicago that would last me a life time.
no thank you to any busses

 

[RAPstar]

Ugh, fine I'll stay at SF. I usually don't have EP anyway, and I just don't wanna stay off site. I'm just concerned with the UTH tour selling out before I can afford to book, or the flight cost going up too high. I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

In college they had free buses that connected different parts of the college. Main campus everything was within a mile diameter.. maybe radius of everything so no need for a bus. Made me laugh when people took them... anyways. North campus was at least a mile past the furthest point of main campus and that was the business campus. They had their own parking lot though so I drove. Senior semester I realized I had never ridden the "Free" buses that were included in my thousands of dollars in fees so I decided I needed to know what I was paying for. We rode in a circle and checked it off our bucket list.

Monorails are close enough for me. Buses smell and everyone after a theme park packed in a bus.... I don't even like myself after a theme park much less "Some guy" holding onto a rail without deodorant.... EW.

We stay off site and I drive everywhere at the motherland. I don't think we'd bus even if we stayed on site. Maybe one day if I ever have mini tinydancers.

I'm sorry I'm dying over here.. I feel like you're having this inner monologue out loud with us like we're twisting your arm!!! How are the other hotel's cancellation policy? Would you be able to make a last minute switch if the cash is there close in?

EDit:
Ohh! and I hope you start to healing faster here. I wobbled in the shower earlier (not the dance...) and though of you. Wondered how your ribs were doing. Guess that answers that.
