Good Friday morning homies


Someday you all will get to the point where I am and all days run together

You all live for Friday as it is so close to the weekend

I live for Monday's as stores and roads are empty ... Lol

When you no longer work and retired, the weekdays are when you do everything
on weekdays to be away from crowded weekends, becomes a ritual

And you can do a load of laundry at midnight and finish it in the morning

Marcie, from what was posted thought others did not want the pm set up so bowed out of it
I will be doing one for myself and can send copy to you
I need a scoreboard to keep track of the homies plans as I do not want to miss any meet ups

Great minds, although I said 2. I was just saying the food court since I know it has a ton of seating. Honestly, I don't know where Finnegans is. We'll probably be there for HHN that evening but too cheap to pay for Express or anything so would want to be in the holding areas as soon as we could (and will horrify Mac again by probably leaving by 8:30pm or so).

Hahaha
It won't horrify me as I am leaving the homie group at 8:15 as I booked another rip tour for the 9 th

Figure it will be a packed night with the 2:00 closing and did not buy ep for that night

dont want to confuse anyone so deleting it

Makes it easier to remove the confusion

Huh, I didn't catch that

I vote for picking a day/time/place for group meet, seems like 9th in afternoon is viable option.

No fuss, no muss...show up to say hi, maybe enjoy a ride or show, even have a drink in honor of the great and illustrious DIS board .

Some may decide to hang around longer. it's an easy-peasy way to kill a few birds with one stoneput the face to the screen name, and then carry on with your families or existing plans in place if desired.

Well then I vote for what Keisha votes for

She is the leader and her plan sounds super!!

I'll follow her and go where she tells me


I'm better as a follower!

Is there still construction on that stretch? It's been under construction for a good decade now.
Used to drive it at least monthly. Haven't seen it in a while though as most of my friends are elsewhere now. I still have a few in ATL, but I convince them to come to the beach rather than me have to drive in ATL. I nearly had a nervous breakdown last time.

It did not have construction in that stretch but it was weather conditions and debris

It was raining off and on in that section and most of the down trees were removed
Some parts you could still see limbs and tree parts off to the side of I75

If I had waited another day, probably less heavy wind and less rain on the interstate

We'll be coming from Disney to uni the 9th so our day will be flexible.

 

[tinydancer09]

Okay, I combined a couple of your posts to reply to them all. I will be at Epcot 9/19 & 9/20, pretty much all day, working on getting Chase or Standby wristbands to Air Supply and hitting all 3 concerts both days. Tentative plan for 9/21 is very fluid - looking at my friend's plans (she's the one visiting from Singapore), it looks like she'll be at all 4 parks at some time that day. So possibly we could say hi in there if we're at Epcot? 9/22 doesn't look like we'll be at DHS at all. Otherwise, I am blocking in 10/9 for all of you guys at Uni - I really think we should plan lunch there somewhere together, even if a casual meetup at like the Simpsons Food Court or somewhere we could set a time and anyone in the park say hi! What time did you think you'd be getting there? Maybe a more off time like 2 or something?

And I have to add my "oops" with the Disney app (which I consider myself somewhat of an expert on). I also have had trouble staying logged in so decided to add the touch ID option on my phone. The first several times I just couldn't get it to work. Finally figured out I needed to touch the Home button (where you usually touch for Touch ID to make the phone turn on), NOT the little red fingerprint looking thingy in the middle of the screen that pops up on MDE! Hey, I said I was an expert on the Disney App, NOT Apple tech!

Hm, I guess I hit my limit on quotes as Mac's (and I think one more) didn't load. Mac - I still have you in my phone and will send you a text so you have mine. Let me know if you don't get it. I understood you weren't planning on doing PM's but wasn't sure I hadn't already missed some. Would it be possible to do one PM to everyone who will be there so we can all swap phone numbers before the trip? I hate to post mine here publicly but since I (obviously) don't read regularly enough, would like to use texts to keep in touch with people while here. Otherwise, anyone who will be here and might want to meet, feel free to PM me and I'll be glad to pass along my email and/or cell!

HAH! On the apple thing. That'd be something I would do.. or something my mom would do and I would have to laugh for a while before I explained it.
And maybe 10/9 would work best instead of trying to chase each other around at disney. You know, tight schedule there these days due to FP+ lovelies.

 

[tinydancer09]

P.S. And TinyD, yes, so far the 9th sounds like lots of us will be around USO. And me too, no HHN that day either. Welll, on none of the days I will be at RPR.

As of right now we're at PBH because it was the cheapest. If I can snag a cheaper rate super last minute I might switch. I'm not hopeful though as it's looking like everything is fully booked. My rate was $214 which is really not that high.

Got a text from my friend who's going with me that trip late last night that said "Universal is 100% on and I won't be broke after!" She had a wreck... ON 175 IN ATLANTA.... and has been waiting on the settlement from that. A guy who should not have been driving on the interstate for personal reasons crossed all 19 lanes of I75 (okay maybe it's only 5 there) and slammed into the side of her bright green chevy spark. That's the 2nd time someone has wrecked into her car in 2 years and I was with her the first time at Six Flags.

Otherwise, I am blocking in 10/9 for all of you guys at Uni - I really think we should plan lunch there somewhere together, even if a casual meetup at like the Simpsons Food Court or somewhere we could set a time and anyone in the park say hi! What time did you think you'd be getting there? Maybe a more off time like 2 or something?

I think this is a fantastic idea if we can make it work. I'm willing to leave GA as early as I have to to make it in time.
I almost always get out of here by 10 (because I want breakfast at chick-fil-a) and I usually get there around 1-2.
My plan was to be up and out of here by 8. I can plan earlier if need to as that obviously also benefits me having more park time. So I should be there no later than 12. I75 willing.
If I can score a super awesome rate at one of the lower ones the night before I might leave early because why not? I kind of see this as unlikely though.

Friiiiiiday whoop whoop! Short week but it still seemed long.

Weekend plans (besides dreaming about HHN lol) all? We are going to 'celebrate' grandparents day by taking GD to zoo. Hey, it's free, it's for me via the bring a lil darling along thing but you wonder where they draw the line on commercialization of things as to goofy holidays.


We've been trying for that last week of September for years. DH one of the oldest senorities at work and still, others snag it. Unless it's first week of some sort of hunting, no idea why it's so popular. We have issues with our DVC use year starting in October too but I'm not a fan of getting home mid month and then needing to produce Halloween decorations.



Lol sounds line the 9th will be a great day for a SANs meet. Was going to suggest a holding area pre HHN, then slowly dawned on me some won't be doing HHN that night.

I want to be in Studios by 4 pm that night. Don't do much in the parks days of HHN, need to save my steam hehe.

How about a mini-meet 'somewhere' @ Studios 3 - 4 pm? Finnegans bar is noisy but may have seats open around 3 or even one of the CS to sit and meet up, then a ride?

Chime in

Yesterday was absolutely brutal here, heat index way over 100. Hate to complain as we all know we'll be eating our words in a few months when we're shivering. Had storms good portion of night violent enough to wake me up (that's doing something), just seems to have made things more sticky. Supposed to just hit 84 today but even higher heat index than yesterday. Makes no sense to me.

September 24 was more popular than the regular fall breaks this year. I have no idea why. It booked before my other two known popular weeks. All I know is the week during my birthday is usually VERY low crowds. I highly recommend it. I'm doing disney this year too so I'll get a feel for that. The only bad thing about it is it's usually still pretty toasty. I'm looking at 86s for highs all week though which is better than the 95-98s we had last year!!!

I'm good with that SANs plan too. I've never been to Finnegans (I know, I know I'm crazy), so I can't churp in on availability.. but sounds good to me! lol Would give us non HHN time to get out and you guys enough time to get to your holding cells. I mean...

Great minds, although I said 2. I was just saying the food court since I know it has a ton of seating. Honestly, I don't know where Finnegans is. We'll probably be there for HHN that evening but too cheap to pay for Express or anything so would want to be in the holding areas as soon as we could (and will horrify Mac again by probably leaving by 8:30pm or so).

HA! Okay, so I'm not the only one who hasn't had Finnegans.
I think we need to get family shirts made so we can see each other in the parks. Except, I'm kidding. I think.

Tuesdays in publix before school and work lets out... it's like a ghost town full of food. It's glorious. My little personal vacation.
Is it sad that that's what my 26 year old life has come to? Vacations to publix...

Send the score card to me too.

Mac, if you start a conversation with us all the ones who do not want to get the notifications can click the "leave this conversation" button.
Some just don't enjoy group messages and I get that. It can easily get overwhelming when theres chatter beyond need to know things. But, to me at least, it's the easiest way to organize all information.

Is anyone meeting up with kids or is this adults only? There's a good chance I could be in Universal on the 9th but I'll have kids with me. It's fine if it's not something for kids - I will be able to catch up at another point down the line without them.

 

[schumigirl]

Was it you that loves lemon? If so I'll be at the darkside (same hotel, RPR right?) and would love to bring you some sweets to help celebrate your birthday.
I realize you'll just be getting in from long travels when I'm there so understand. I'm not sure how the hotel would feel about delivering brought in food to your room from an "unknown" person! I'll be happy to try though!
Lemon bars.. mm so good.
I'll be in September 17. If you'd like a special delivery just let me know your favorite flavors of sweets and I'll bring a sampling from the bakery I used to work at to drop off.

Yes it is me that loves all things lemon.......That's a very kind offer tiny, but I can't really eat sweet things which includes bakery items anymore. I usually take a little tiny piece of dh dessert and that's about it. It doesn't bother me as I'm a savoury person. But thank you for the thought.

Have a fabulous time at the zoo with GD..........hope it's a lovely day..........and hope it's not too hot........we have cooled down a lot, but still muggy..........blowing a hoolie though........

Love a good storm...........

I thought it was a fabulous idea actually. Hey ho.........

Yep, I love when folks are at work and kids are in school..........stores and roads are fabulous! Midweek shopping is wonderful...........Except leading up to Christmas........where does everyone come from!!!



Had a lovely day.........DH came back early and we went out for lunch then did some shopping......for him this time. He got what he needed......and I bought nothing for me! Except some root ginger.........doesn't really count!

Quiet night in again........think friends think we're hibernating.........fancy watching a scary or a funny movie.......

Janet.........as our resident expert on DC/SW I need to pick your brain with a couple of questions.......value your opinion on it......... Haven't been able to access emails so far today so will do it later...........

Have a good Friday...........

Yay Megan Hilty tonight! Finished Murder House, now on Freak Show. 12 days to go!

 

[macraven]

in the past meets i have set up, all members of the family are included.

when i did meets at finnigans during hhn period before the start of the event, many would find me and come to the table.
we introduced ourselves, did chit chat and then the person went back to the family.

sometimes the entire family would come over and we all got to know each other.

it went both ways

since it was inside the restaurant, it was short and sweet meet ups due to the crowdiness in there/and peeps were still at other tables eating with family and friends.


i always wore my macraven csw shirt top so when someone saw my name on the back of it, they knew who i was.
will do the same thing this year for meets.

since it won't be at finnegans it will be easier to have many come together.
kids, spouses, grandmas, cats, etc are always welcomed to meets.

the sans is a family affair so might as well bring in the kiddos to join in for chit chat and park talk!


we are penciling you in for yourself and family...

 

[tinydancer09]

One of my favorite pastimes might be watching Disney people at Universal.
Inside the magic keeps doing a ton of Live Feeds on facebook. She just did the raptor incounter and was rather jumpy about the whole thing
Won't find that in fantasy land!

 

[goNDmay9]

Awwwww! Congrats @schumigirl on your baby God grand daughter

 

[goNDmay9]

Finally. Just got home. Today did not go as planned. Lol. Ended up staying at work wayyyy to long. Need to pack and get a mani/pedi before we leave. Where does the time go??

 

[macraven]

When you find that answer, clue me in!

Thank you........she looks gorgeous in the pictures! Think her name is going to be Maya........but not sure yet........

Time flies, don't worry the packing will get done......can't leave without it........



Almost bedtime here........5 sleeps

 

[tink1957]

Carole...congrats on baby Maya...it's a lovely name, hope she keeps it.

goND ...Hope you have fun and safe travels.

I spent the morning looking for my old video tape of Nightmare before Christmas so I could get the pumpkin song out of my head. I've been singing it since we decided to go to MNSSHP. I finally found it in a box of old Disney tapes in my storage building. So of course this started a movie marathon which included Sleeping Beauty, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Guess I'll just have to watch my HHN prep movies next week. I really only need to watch Murder House as I missed it the first time around.

Only 11 more days to go...wish I could be there for the big meet up on the 9th...I'll just have to make it a longer trip next year.
