TinyD, big brains. As long as he's nice and treats you well. Mr. Right will find ya.

you forgot money.
if she is looking, might as well notice $$ too.

moaning all, couldn't sleep, 5 am came a bit too quickly this morning. GD is winning today




mac - i still hate that loews pulled the youfirst perk from HRH. Haven't been back since.

PBH is my fav, as carole would say...it's lush love that it's poolscapes are varied, room to hide from noise if you desire, & fact that suites have 2 bathrooms & 2 keurig machines lol. Resort is quieter overall, something that can be very appealing after long day in parks to me. Have never, ever, seen rates less than RPR for any dates I 've priced this year.

I'm a worrier, felt uneasy when reading the new classifications. Surprised to see RPR lumped with Sapphire since it doesn't have FOTL perk. Hope that fact doesn't foreshadow RPH possibly losing the privledge (sigh).

Have read 2nd hand accounts that Sapphire isn't selling well. Then, watched the various dining ccredit promotions roll out, which seems to support the rooms not filling up. They are supposed to rely on conventions, but until they book, may be seeing more deals to try and entice the Cabana Bay market to spend a few more $$ a day.

I have mixed emotions as to Sapphire possibly getting the FOTL perk. At times the system seems to be overloaded as it the last few years during busy times. Don't think parks could handle it, unless they sell less to day guests. as if lol! Perhaps they may do that version of FOTL - one per attraction as a compromise?

will be interesting to see how it plays out.

what i was told by management at rpr that since S F and Rpr are convention hotels, they are in the same grouping.
now that was the story at the end of last year.
don't know if that is still the theory behind the classification of grouping them together.

i notice uo is pushing sf with the deals of 3 day and 5 day packages and the food credit on their site.
when a new hotel goes up, the occupancy level rarely is very high.
it takes time for word of mouth to encourage more to stay there.

when hrh opened, i stayed there the first year.
low occupancy.
same thing happened with pbh and rpr when they first opened their doors.

but, i feel all the hotels will start having a surge of bookings at different times of the year.
the one that has the cheaper rates will start filling rooms quicker.


i adore rpr and would never consider going back to hrh.
but, if and when express would be pulled from rpr, i'm off to the hotel that does give that perk to its guests.

i'm there for the fun and less wait in lines.

Good morning homies
DW is super excited about our trip to the dark side now that we are in single digits and since we didn't get to go last year I have to admit I am too but dread the long drive but if I handle it like I did our drive to Michigan on memorial day then it will be ok.

WOOT !!!

single digits...

are you doing better St L?
feeling more energetic yet?

 

[macraven]

Hello everyone!

Everybody well? I hope so. Only a quick drop by. I saw that Chance is coming back to HHN this year, and I for one am super excited about that. Even though I won't be there in person.

good to see you here!
don't be a stranger and come back and play awhile with us.

sorry you will miss chance.
hope i will be able to miss her, i wasn't into her last time she was there.

WELLLLL....FINALLY found a decent pic...None of ours turned out good, but we have a few others folks searching their tons of pics.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Oh for Poseidon's sake!!! Release the dang HHN tickets already!

I have been dying to try cooking on a salt block and finally bought myself one. I made salmon on it last night and YUM was it good! It was perfectly cooked, flakey and buttery.

go to the thread Keisha created that i made a sticky

it is set up as a go to info and discussion site for hhn.
first 4 boxes are reserved to add info and changes as they are made by UO.

what hhn tickets are you looking for?
yesterday UO started loading the site in the afternoon.
i told keisha to use what was listed but it blew up in my face as UO made corrections up to this morning.

all tickets are on sale now.
so are the tours.

only glitch they are still working on is the AP discounts
i went ahead and booked at the rate listed and they will modify and apply my ap for the discount.
will receive a confirmation when that is done.
my other choice was to go on a list to be called when the system is loaded for AP discounts.

not a chance i was willing to risk.
they can reimburse my cc more easier than me to call and get through later this weekend.


i figured you would be cooking chicken since all you have to do is catch them to wring their little necks.
do you use a pole or net to catch the salmon.....?

glad it turned out yummy!

apparently in my lack of caffeinated state all I needed to do was refresh my browser... we are now GTG!!! YAYness!

@macraven what can I say... I had to ask. I like big brains and I cannot lie

Hm, while the youngest is taken (along with my middle son who graduated from MIT last year), how about my oldest? I bet he's closer to your age as well and would love to meet you I'm sure! While he didn't go to MIT, he did just get his Masters in Computer Engineering from Northeastern and went to the AF Academy before that. He's currently working for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) outside DC (theoretically spy satellites but he can't tell us much of what he's doing). No? (Yes, I did splurge and pay for the real versions of these pics but haven't scanned them in yet since my scanner is being uncooperative these days).

 

[SharkyGoddess]

I hate when I finalize all my trip planning details and then have planning anxiety because I keep thinking I've forgotten something.

 

[tinydancer09]

Eh I don't care about money. I do care about work ethic and ambition... but the money part is kind of whatever. And I'm only kidding! I'm not actually desperate or anything. I'm pretty okay with where I am. I do enjoy dating someone though. But, if it's not in the cards it's not. I've got plenty of other things to do until someone comes up.

Hey we have some of those spy satellites near the beach houses. No one REALLY knows what our little AF annex does.

I hate when I finalize all my trip planning details and then have planning anxiety because I keep thinking I've forgotten something.

Me until the end of my vacation! Then I'm finally like okay I must have remembered everything! haha

I do...

 

[ky07]

WOOT !!!

single digits...

Still get light headed once in awhile but it's not as bad as it has been
So I am guessing my body is getting use to it thank goodness

 

[tinydancer09]

I do...

You know what the CSB AF base does? It's got nukes doesn't it. I can never decide if I think it's a safe or dangerous place to be during war.... Same with Thomasville. We've got some hidden stuff here too which makes me wonder if it's safer or more dangerous. I know it has a bomb shelter IN it.

 

[Lynne G]

Peace and quiet. Ahhhhhh. Almost too quiet without a dog. That is okay, I have the DIS to read.

Wahoo for single digits KY. Just think, at the end of the drive is a relaxing vacation. Nice picture of your DS.

Take a deep breath Sharky. All is done, now just be excited that a trip is coming up.

Just hoping the storm does not come tomorrow, or does before the soccer game. To be hot and steamy soon.

 

[keishashadow]

updated the sticky, checked & re-checked but some of the pricing between AP/FL seems wonky still to me

have a hoagie calling my name

lynne had 4 blankets on last night, tomorrow supposed to hit 90 degrees. what's it doing out your way?
