Something About Nothing ... #12

Am I allowed to post the 3rd party apps I use and tell people about them? If not @macraven I just did and you need to flag me
While I love the food thread in here I use Magic Guide in the parks or when I'm talking to others about food since it's all centralized and easy to use on my phone. It has mostly all updated menus including prices. You can even search for the exact food item and it has GPS to tell you where the closest one is. Say you want a corn dog.. it'll point you in the right direction. I have one for disney and uni.
I downloaded it out of desperation for churro finding at disney. They only have about one churro cart per park and they just got rid of the only one at Animal Kingdom. I flipping love churros!

Bluer I think we're shooting for the weekend of the 9th of Oct. see you there

keisha, volunteer Mr Keisha to drive the bus.
think he is the only one with the CDL.....

Bluer, in case monyK forgets, round up a live chicken so we can take it to play chicken bingo at the cookout.
and in case we don't have enough food for all the homies, we can eat chicken if need be.

someone needs to get a boat and paddle schumi and RFF from across the pond.

and i'll be sure to bring paper plates since i am the designated dishwasher.

Still going to clean the dishes I cooked with right?

are you coming to uo on sunday the 9th or when?
check the sticky, when are you going.
it is dates of homies showing when they will be at the motherland and the darkside.

i do that thread each year so peeps can pm each other to set up meet and greets.
it is always nice to put a face with a name you see on the dis.
i have met so many peeps from the dis by meet ups.

you need to put me on your list of homies to meet.
i'll be at uo until i leave on the 14th.

i saw that thread where you posted about the app.
it is not an issue at all.
i am not familiar with the magic guide app

i googled it and found the disney one which had two comments and both negative.
the uo app i did not download.
apple site said it had info on line waits, etc and menus included.

how often do they update the menus?

What's the app? I'm an app hoarder

Umm, no, I have to say rarely if at all TinyD. Once I realize it's a long selling commercial, I start to channel surf.

Oh, darn kid, DD had asked if I could just let her have a play date an hour from where we live. Okay, I guess. 11:45 last night, I was pulling in my driveway. Too late a night for me. I was up at 4:30 this morning. And it was 80 degrees. Yes, another hot and sticky day. Brewing a very large pot of tea. I need at least a few glasses of ice tea. And, maybe some chocolate too. I am dragging already.

Yay for Robbie - at least you know the flight is now paid for. Time to start finding those HHN shirts. And oh no, that fall sounded awful. I hope your side is feeling better soon.

MonyK - hope the weather improves and you get a good night's sleep.

Mac, that sounds like you grilled meals were good. We have a 2 burner gas stove too. We like it, because we can make the one side hotter, or not use it if we're not cooking as much. I like to grill year round. We've been known to push the snow off it, and grill. BBQ chicken and steaks are our favorite. We've also done salmon on a piece of soaked wood . That was tasty too.

Keisha, thanks for the restaurant recommendations. I assume it's gonna still be hot, and we're only going for a long week-end, so not heavy meals and a good place to eat is perfect. Never been there, so it will be nice to see if a longer visit is something the family would enjoy.

So, whether it's a lazy Thursday, or a thirsty Thursday, or both, have a great day!

The Minion with the Corona has the same look I get

I know it's cliche to say I can't believe that there's been yet another shooting and in my city, but like really????? Ugh.

I'm not positive on dates yet as that's my wishy washy trip so not going to post until I know for sure. If nothin else I'm going to try and do a fly by one nighter in and out if that trip doesn't work and I'll do that whenever I can get a good rate when most are in.

I'm not sure on the how often question right now. I've only had the app since February for Disney and since April for universal. One trip each. They seemed accurate when I was there for both trips. I have only ever used the menu section as Disney has its amazing app for wait times and at universal I have express so what do I care about wait times? I'll try to confirm this fall about the continued accuracy of the app.

Ohh!! Maybe I can confirm now. The Harbor house at WDW MK updated since my last trip. On the magic app it had NOT updated as of a few weeks ago and now it is reflecting the changes. We went to Disney at end of February and the menu changed AFTER our visit. So it's been..4 months at most. How much do menus really change in four months? My universal magic app just updated let's see if the mythos changes are there. I'll need your help with this as I've never eaten there. Here are screen shots of current magic app mythos menu:







Looking more intently I think I had to pay $3.99 or something to unlock the food and bathroom finder. It's a one time payment thing and you have that feature for life... Or as long as you have iCloud. That's why I downloaded the app and I have found it very helpful for making in park HANGRY food decisions with my sister.


Also @Realfoodfans Ive been meaning to do this for the longest time. Let me know abbreviations I'm missing and need to add to the list to help newbies out.
DS,Df, dh,dw... Dear/darling son, father, husband, wife, etc. (My phone tried to autocorrect DH to duh... Haha! That can describe men too right?)
UOR universal Orlando resort
USF universal studios Florida(studios side of universal. Some people get confused and use this to also describe the resort.)
IOa islands of adventure
WWOHP wizarding world of Harry Potter DA diagon alley but I don't see that used much.
PBH Portofino bag hotel
Hrh hard rock hotel
RPR or RPH royal pacific resort(hotel)
CB cabana bay
Sf.. Sapphire falls. Haven't seen this yet
Cw city walk
WDW Walt Disney work and it's parks: MK, ak, DHS, EP? I don't abbreviate EPCOT as its already an abbreviation.

Umm.... Missing anything?

 

[tinydancer09]

Magic guide one for WDW and one for UOR. You have to pay to unlock the food and bathroom finder. I find those very nice as I can never find flipping churros at Disney!!!

I've been avoiding news stations as it makes me really angry. The protestors and shootings. Stay safe out there!

Thank ya!

 

[SharkyGoddess]

SQUEEEEEE!!!!! My dark prince is making another appearance! I am soooo excited to see another Halloween house!

 

[macraven]

so sharky, does that mean you are a go for hhn this year?

i'm going to leave the lights on here in case someone comes back tonight.
don't want anyone to stub their toe in the dark.

 

[SharkyGoddess]

Yup! We are booked and impatiently waiting We're doing a couple days at the mother land too.

 

[keishashadow]

Not sure why but I'm finding my iPad didn't show quite a few posts from yesterday here. So weird

Lynne sorry to hear they messed w ur flights. I'm hoping they are done at this point. planning the oct trip has been problematic this year as to the vendors for me too

I keep digging for another great coupon but coming up empty. Knew it was kiss of death when people figured out they could use it in shorter rentals. Sigh

Turns out that week I booked at wdw in feb has cheerleaders in beginning and another group at end. Been there, done that. Will be at values and mods Starting to price out HBC rental thinking most participants will book wdw pkg

@Monykalyn I'm a light fruity vodka drink, lol.

Watched Krampus and The Boy tonight. Not much on tv right now other than Scream and American Gothic and I've already watched this week's episodes.

Nwahaha

Ok all, play along (inspired by Andy)...it's happy hour somewhere:

If you were a drink, what would you be? List non alcoholic and otherwise:

Me first

Iced tea, gallons of it

Absolut/grey goose or a Corona (with a lemon)

 

[Lynne G]

Man, another sticky and icky day. Then, a thunderstorm, or two will visit us later tonight, then much nicer weather.

, so sad to hear of the shooting. I hope peaceful times return.

Schumi, hope you are doing well.

The weekend is upon us, and I am so glad it is Friday.

We may see Pets tomorrow, so I am looking forward to that movie. Just a fun movie would be fine. Besides, I am a animal fan, cgi or real.

 

[Bluer101]

@tinydancer09

Our dates are 6-9 with many others that time. Pcstang is going to be there too so more the merrier.

Good morning from RPR poolside. Enjoying our breakfast and coffee. Going to spend the day here and parks later.

 

[Bluer101]

I forgot the photo.

 

[marciemi]

I flipping love churros!

So have you seen the Churro cupcakes at Contempo Cafe in the Contemporary? I read about them and we were there Sunday and they looked SOOO good, but we'd just eaten (including dessert) at the Wave and just couldn't do it. We need to go back for them!

are you coming to uo on sunday the 9th or when?
check the sticky, when are you going.
it is dates of homies showing when they will be at the motherland and the darkside.

you need to put me on your list of homies to meet.
i'll be at uo until i leave on the 14th.

So what should I put on these? Are we doing any kind of SANS meet ups? Am I invited to any of the VIP things or is that already filled? We're looking at probably getting one of the cheaper multi-day HHN passes - I think the one that was all Sun, Wed & Thursdays (since we won't be here for the first weekend of HHN so the one that included the early two weekends didn't help us much). I'd love to meet some of you guys! Also, Mac, if you'll be around I'm of course open to meeting at Disney any time too!

Me first

Iced tea, gallons of it

Hey, that's mine! Huge iced tea fan here as well - pretty much live on the stuff.

 

[macraven]

Morning all

Well it is not noon yet
Thanks Lynne for the wake up and coffee
Hope your skies turn blue today and no more storms

Marcie all the meet ups listed in here are for all homies, newbies, and lurkers

The vip meets are the tours.
A person books then from vip tour and pays for it in advance with a cc
I do that for a private tour and those that join in pay me a share
I had the Friday tour set up months ago before it was booked

The non private rip tours are listed on the Hhn site
Peeps call and book/ pay for that
This is open to the public
You can have up to 5 friends book together
Their prices run based in tour date
Lowest date is $160 pp and up to 255?

We are just finding out when others will be at Hhn or the parks to set up meets for meet and greets
I have a sticky in the main forum for all to list when they will be them in sept and October
From there peeps can pm others to make meet up place/ times

If you don't want to post on the sticky, take note of dates we post on here when we will be at UO or wdw
We all want to meet up with each other and this is a grand time to do so
Hope you will join in

Would love to have as many here readers and lurkers come to meet ups to at least say hi to us!
