Something About Nothing ... #12

[Lynne G]

I guess parades are not for everyone, but I am sad to hear there will not be any night parades in MK soon. I will try to see it once during my stay. The last of the lights is just sad too. Even though there is fireworks now, still will not have the same holiday decor that made the park a go to at night.

Well, we are still soggy, but oh so still humid. Less than 2 weeks. Ahh, seems so far away still.

Yay Robbie. I always use Early Bird. At first, I was annoyed at the added fee, but time is money, and well, just not having to remember to log on.

Enjoy your Monday night all.

Ah the Walt mythology is fascinating isn't it?

Well, well, well...
A glimmer of hope exists - yea!

OL was one of our fav things, hard to believe it was 'free'. No,scratch that comment, somebody may be listening and decide to make it part of a special paid event. Did spring for the dessert party there last year, a nice comfy seat to soak it all up once more.

Pretty sure I'm in the minority for not being huge fan of repeat parade viewings other than MNSSHP. Nice to see them for those who do, especially since walk on attractions seem to move quicker during them.

Believe there's a lawsuit filed by WDW employees who work the parades. Looking for to slight increase in their hourly pay for those who, although aren't featured performers, may be 'dancing' a bit. Hoping it wouldn't factor in the potential lack of night time parades as yet another cost-cutting measure

They're also researching even better ways to power the suits so they're not as much of a risk. They only need one power pack for the LED lights but the old school suits like MSEP have several. I can't even imagine. Yuck.
I don't sit down and watch parades. I'll sit at caseys and watch it through the crowd, or, if we're walking around we'll walk opposite and "watch" it in turbo speed. We'll see what happens to the lights. I left out the fact that they're still packed up and in a Walt storage unit. I feel if they were truly getting rid of them they'd return them to the family or put them somewhere off property.... We shall see!!! I persosnlly think they would look lovely at UO... What is that area, New York? And the side streets whatever they're called. JUST SAYING. Never going to happen BUTTT

I used to not be a parade person at all. It's a "waste" of my valuable time. I feel k need to be doing something. However, in my old age (LOL) I'm liking them more and I love performances and it's really just a moving one. I could dance Ina parade... It's fun. ANYWAYS, I used to LOVE parades because it emptied out the rest of the park. I also love the firework trap they set in the front of the castle. 10 minute mine train wait during wishes? Please and thanks. Might I had during the 2 minutes of the ride you have a wonderful view!

Amazing thunderstorm tonight........started around 4.30pm after we left Celebration........reached 104f!!!! Hot!

So instead of driving to Longhorn, we went to Sapphire Falls for dinner.......it was nice. Very nice hotel

Hope youse guys are good....youse is also a Scottish word for "you lot".......

 

[macraven]

Schumi got your message late
Will try tomorrow to connect with youse

Welcome to my world in Georgia
Hot and humid except for today but back to the 90's tomorrow

 

[tink1957]

Doing last minute packing before we leave for the airport tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn...see ya real soon

 

[Robo56]

Have a safe trip tink. Look forward to saying howdy in person. You have my cell#.

 

[tinydancer09]

The storm tonight was impressive. We had lightning hit the parking lot right as we were about to head back to MK.
We went back inside for a minute.

Once we did make it here parking was... Erm. Confusing. We are currently parked bsckwards. They had all the isles that the signs were leading to coned off... Kept getting t the exit and finally I went down an in. OOPS. I'm one of those. Probably going to Disney jail right?

Fireworks got delayed over an hour because of it. Not that we were here for that...

Currently waiting on the main street electrical parade. Last chance we get to see it! I realized today we'll all be in town the last day of it, but we'll be at UOR.

There's NO ONE here!!!

 

[Robo56]

There's NO ONE here!!!

Have fun Tinyd you have your own private parade

 

[macraven]

Yaaaa
TinyD has the park to herself
Hope the rain stopped
Will be seeing youse on the 9th
Pencil me in on your calendar

Tink have a fun vacation
Hope to see you there

Robo will be seeing you on the 2nd
We can take selfies for the heck of it

Has Robbie/Andy left yet?




I think we all should have a pajama party

 

[Lynne G]

ooh, safe travel today Tink. I'll PM ya my cell number. Have an awesome time.

I'll be arriving late on the 2nd, so those still there, can say hello later that evening. May head to Epcot, as that's the only park open late (9pm), or else I party, and well, 2 parties no, and I'm doing the party later that week. Unless, of course, AK stays open later, but so far, that's not as late as Epcot. Plus, I can always hit Disney Springs if I'm still in the mood. At least I can take a boat ride back, and not the bus. I like that they started having a bus to Disney Springs from the parks.

Yeah we had less impressive thunder and lightning. Gone now, but still overcast, and nice and foggy this morning. No fear, we'll be a sticky high 80's today. It went down to 70 last night, and my normally hot feeling boy had a sweatshirt on. I was in short sleeves. I thought it felt nice, he was cold. Normally, it's the other way around, I tend to complain when it's cold.

Here's a funny for Tink:

Good morning all! May the sun shine on you, the humidity hide, and have a great Tuesday!

 

[Robo56]

Morning Sans family . Up early this morning. Have my mug of coffee filled and getting ready to read the paper .

Hope the weather settles down after the storm last night for Schumi and Tinyd.

Happy trails to Tink, Robbie and Mike.

Morning Lynne ......LOL....I wonder what airline that is....

Mac look forward seeing you on the 2nd. Have a safe trip tomorrow and enjoy your visit.

 

[tink1957]

Good morning....I'm at the airport now waiting to fly. Security lines are longer than usual as expected.

Next post will be from the darkside

Happy Tuesday homies

 

[macraven]

How long are those lines?
Is your flight out the 9:30
One?

Asking as I will be there next week at that airport

 

[keishashadow]

Not enough coffee in the world today to get me up & running on all cylinders .

For some reason thought I had almost 3 weeks before trip, gulp. Time to organize the home front, let alone pack.

Need to leave my house @ 3 am to catch our flight in time and that's only because I'm counting on no traffic. Won't know mr's work schedule until next week but seriously hoping we can park n fly somewhere to use hotel shuttle and sleep in a bit longer. Stoopid SWA combining flights thusly

Anybody else have any major shifts in their flights for October? Not long ago they combined all 3 of their morning NS out of PIT. Naturally, in their wisdom, went with crack of dawn flight arrrgh. only put 2 morning NS in the winter, booked the 2nd one as the 1st flight out was slightly after 5 am! Just waiting for that email lol...

going to work on getting you to say "Yinz" lol

have gotten seriously lost in beautiful Celebration pre GPS days as everything is pristine and looks somewhat 'the same'. Shudder to think of the size of their HOA agreement lol. Least it would keep the huge travel trailer and contractors' company work trucks off the street that surround my house most of summer.

Going to guess you walked over? If so, how long of a stroll? So many of the reviews were awful but of the service variety (restaurant staff being slow, housekeeping issues). Have a feeling it was more them dropping ball on staff training and being in too big of a hurry to open the resort. Looking forward to giving it a quick whirl

Akin to Mad dogs and Englishmen...only in central Florida will otherwise normal people scamper about in major thunderstorms. Guilty of the same thing in August but mid day, ducking into shows/dark rides, park didn't clear out one bit.

Jmho but when @ U it seems as though more people file out, perhaps due to # of guests onsite or having more attractions closed.

...Next post will be from the darkside

Happy Tuesday homies

That has a lovely ring to it! Enjoy your trip.

 

[schumigirl]

Quick drive by.........back in room to shower and head over to meet an old pal from RP Club Lounge from a couple of years ago.......he's now at PB.

Boiling hot.......but absolutely fabulous!!

Dr Doom hasn't been working last few days.....not sure why.

And for those of us that like to drop $30 into the machines to soak folks on the water rides........it's changed.

You now buy tokens..........2 for a dollar or 12 for $5..........all water rides have the same machines...........

Parks are quiet right now.......

Catch youse yinz later..........

 

[schumigirl]

Missed your question Janet......yes we walked over.......doesn't take long...will show you the secret way

Yep, they weren't given long to train staff with this one which was why there were issues, but honestly we thought it was excellent........I think you'll like it.......we certainly do.....

 

[Robo56]

Schumi nice too hear you are having a great time. We are looking forward to checking out SF for a look and a meal while we are there.

Glad to hear your enjoying the lizard weather

Oooh I love a good secret

Lizard weathercan't say I've ever heard that phrase, it's a goodie!

Floated in pool a bit today, the new winter cover came today (stupid Amazon)...believe my days are numbered. I like to stretch out our pitifully short swim season as long as I can.

Happy Travels Tink!

Not much to report here - just busy getting the house ready. The realtor is coming by to take pictures tomorrow. I have a blister on my hand from all the vacuuming I did today. That gives you an idea of either how much vacuuming I did or how much vacuuming I usually don't do. I leave in one week! Hoping the gas shortage is over by then. Many places near me are running out of gas due to stupid people who panic and stockpile gas in containers.
