Something About Nothing ... #12

[tinydancer09]

Been having major work e-mail troubles while I've been here. Always have, but never tried to fix it because I was never in busy season. Now it's VERY important for me to have e-mails up and running. Took about an hour of time to figure it out today.. maybe 2. Friends weren't happy. Oops!

I will never understand why they put the shutters in between the bathroom and rooms at Portofino.... Such a strange thing to me. I miss the old showers. Still very, very nice. Love the new decor. Just miss the old roomier showers.

Looking forward to being back at RPR in the fall. Summer can't pass soon enough as I never attend the parks during peak times. Friends really would like me to attend HHN with them, but I just don't know if I can budget it again because that would mean my own room on top of HHN tickets. Plus a WDW trip in Sept, UOR in November... Possibly WDW in December again.

I'm starting to see how you all do so many days here. I think I could stay a week and then be ready for home. I'm spoiled having my own room... absolutely LOVE IT.

Hey hey @buckeev to be fair it's explained in the books pretty well. What is that? Book 6? I didn't make it up.

HeHe. Fun minions Shumi.

Purple hair. Looks good on you Robbie. Seems colored hair for the summer is popular.

Well, survived the week-end, and still have congestion. Go away please, I need to breathe. May ask the doctor for some more medicine.
Visiting two colleges this week-end. Pretty sure DS knows where, but he wants to at least visit a few to make sure. Ahhh, the thought of my bank accounts being drained. And we will repeat this by two, in 3 more years. DD is going to be a high school sophomore in the fall. Kids are growing up so fast.

Man, a very sunny day again. I've loving this omega shaped gulf stream. I feel bad for Denver, 2 feet of snow. At least the mountain resorts get fresh snow and can extend the skiing season.

Oh, and TinyD, enjoy the rest of your stay in the parks. Glad to hear you email issues got resolved.


Happy Monday all!

morning all, another glorious weather day forecast here

still don't have a flight booked back home for May sigh hoping SWA tosses out some sort of sale tomorrow

marcie is always the source of hot disney news. No idea DQ was off the table w/APs, let alone rumored to close. Like most we'd show up and wedge into the fray on rainy days there. Seriously dated, but enjoyed back in the hey-day, they used to have good cheesecake lol. Really liked the pirate ship and raft thing and other VRs were pretty cool. Was fun to play the old games. Another case of tearing down paradise and putting up a parking lot or in WDW's case probably another store/restaurant.

tinyd - "I will never understand why they put the shutters in between the bathroom and rooms at Portofino.... Such a strange thing to me. I miss the old showers. Still very, very nice. Love the new decor. Just miss the old roomier showers." It's been a few years since we were shut out of suite upgrade there, can't visualize how they'd have shutters in their standard rooms. (hate how the beautiful carved ones @ RPH disappeared).

lynne - sounds like u might need an antibiotic if it doesn't clear up soon

 

[RAPstar]

I also made my nails pretty

 

[Lynne G]

Are we getting ready for our trip Robbie? All decked out now. Nice nails. I rarely color mine, but my toe nails, yes.

 

[marciemi]

DQ closure announcement is not at all new - originally they announced it was closing the beginning of this year which is why even AP's starting in Oct didn't get them. It was supposed to be a NBA city type thing but then that fell through. So now they've really cut the hours there since it's not included in AP's or given out as a package perk or anything.

Heading out this afternoon to meet up with Penny at MK! For all of you who remember YankeePenny from the old days of SAN! Pics to follow I'm sure.

 

[schumigirl]

Yes, Lynne sounds like you might need some additional meds.......it does drain you when it goes on for so long......

Janet, you'll get sorted tomorrow.......betcha you do.........stressful though!!! Crocs arrived........sending them back.......even with ordering my normal size......doubt they would have fitted tinker bell!! So, back they go.......search continues........but I did find a pair of black wedge sandals in the wardrobes yesterday........forgot I had them.......will see how they work......few folks have said crocs feel smaller, not original ones but the sandal type........so doubt I'll buy them again if that's so.

Not sure about the nails Robbie, but I'm not a nail polish fan........but you get away with it somehow........but love the hair!!

Mac.......safe journey home today.......


Still cool here, but sun is out........supposed to get warmer as week goes on........will believe it when I see it.......

Salmon for dinner tonight, plain with roasted veg and sweet potatoes.......just wish it was warm enough to get the BBQ (grill) out and start cooking on that.........ready for summer.........

Afternoon everyone! Only a few more days to we head down to FL! Lucas had his one month check last week. He was 6 lbs. 8 oz. when he was born....after 1 month, he gained nearly 4 lbs. and weighed in at 10 lbs. 5 oz. And I thought Chris was chunky!

Disney AP question - we have the Platinum Pass that includes free Photopass (so I am going to make these photographers work!). So if the photographer gives us thee Photopass card, will I be able to download it for free as long as I link it to my AP? TIA

Glad to hear that everyone here (for the most part) is well!

 

[BagOLaughs]

I think that's fine with the photo pass. But I thought disney AP were now RFID so the photographer can just scan your card without giving you a separate one?

 

[BagOLaughs]

Yey Shumi you came to Brum. Shame the weather wasn't great. But it was better than Friday. Did it snow for you?

Who ever is going florida way I want pictures and lots of them! So I can feel a bit of summer on my way to work.



Well, we're in the house now. 4 solid days of moving and packing, unpacking and hoovering (or vacuuming if you prefer. Do you say hoovering in US or Canada?) It's exhausting lol!

You don't need to get a separate card. Any photos you have taken will automatically be in your account - just click on Photopass in MDE (not Memory Maker). If you don't have a MB linked to the account you can just scan your AP card - only thing you won't get is the 7D pic/video which you can email or call to have them add after (just remember what time you were there).

Yes...You can go to the website and add those cards to your account if you use them. Also, I always have the PhotoPass Dude or Dudette scan at least two of our Magic Bands. (We had one MB fail in 2014 and missed a full days worth of AK pics.) Shortly after we return from a trip, I enter any cards that survived our usual 3-minute pack-a-palooza for our return home trip! All of our Disney/Universal trips since 2004 are digitized and saved on "Semi-clearly" labeled DVDs and External hard drives. Paranoid? Yes. Father of Autistic Savant...He knows if I delete even 1 stinkin' blurry pic from Nick Suites on a cloudy Thursday afternoon pool session in 2007. Rain Kid...Wouldn't have it any other way!

@tinydancer09 ...Daughter No. 3- (23 y/o HP freak) - thought that was hilarious!

 

[Lynne G]

BagO, congratulations on the new house. Yes, vacuuming can be exhausting! Just getting a new house set up is also a time eater. Wedding bells yet?

Marciem, hope all is well. Like to see pictures too. Can't wait to be there. Only months to go. Ugh.

Awww, DS just saw a hummingbird look at our sliding glass door. Oops, it's that time of year, we have to make our windows not look like a mirror. At first, he thought it was a large bug. But with green wings, our ruby throated ones are pretty easy to see it's a bird, not a bug.

Kfish, glad to hear little Lucas is growing like a weed. Chunky babies are so cute. Healthy is all that counts. Great time for pictures before he can say no. I'm sure Christopher is a ham. He's a cutie too.

And here's cute minion:

 

[Lynne G]

I think this minion needs to remind my teens!

It was lovely the day we were there.......very sunny but still cold. We had snow on Saturday there Rachel.......hailstones snow and thunder all in one day.......getting better now, just cold.

I said hoovering once......no one in America had a clue what I meant......now I always say vacuuming........

Congrats on moving into the house.........are we all invited to the housewarming......... It is a lot of work moving house........I love moving!!
