Something About Nothing ... #12

[keishashadow]

Torrential downpour and massive lightning right now.....

Sat in club lounge and can't see the I4 at all............

Such a shame for those caught in it............it is really heavy!

My balcony flooded lol. Quite the storm we waited an hour to walk across st to dtd and got caught coming back in 2nd round. Finished night off in hotel lounge watching football

Declined the suite at Saphirre falls today to enable check in and poolside before 11 am. It is sweet here. Love the pool. Nachos were crazy salty yuck DH said wings n salad good. Nursing a frozen iced lemonade which I wouldn't reorder too tart for me.

Looking forward to tonight hope the storm doesn't come thru as forecast later

Bluer everything crossed for u

Life is very goodI am so happy to be here even if a bit off and moving slow(er)

So that is where you are

Sent you text earlier

I'm caught in a tangled web and waiting to get into room

Just sitting in hotel lobby
Got here at 9:50 and did paperwork at counter for room
Still not issued room key


Janet is the lucky ducky today
And I thought she was still at the Hilton all this time

Well, rain delayed us over an hour. Think I have the longest walk to my room. Decided to go to Epcot, and now resting. Was going to take the boat to the Spings, but oh well.

Hope all are enjoying this evening.

Look what I found.

 

[macraven]

Well you have now saved the day


Had a great time at Hhn tonight with Janet, her husband, Marco, Rick and Dora

Now it's time for sleep

Someone needs to call up hurricane Matthew and tell him he's not welcome.

It's the unwelcome guests that always seem to visit the most

I vote 2 o'clock on the 9th meet up. In case the ride wait is long and if we get to do the tour. That way there would be plenty of time after for our HHN people to go get food before. And we'll be inside the coldest building at the hottest part of the day! Plus all is non HHNers will probably be switching to IOA after. Hogwarts express backs up around 4

Just rode Kong two times in a row


Awesome !!!

 

[macraven]

Been watching the local weather station in the room and does not look good


Go away Matthew .........

We're in a hotel in Grand Rapids, MI. Our flight to Key West leaves at 6 AM. We need to catch the shuttle at 4:30. Do we catch a couple hours of sleep or just stay up and drink?

 

[macraven]

Silly homie

We all know the answer to that


Tip the glass and enjoy!!

You can always snooze on the flight

I second what Mac said! We stayed at 0 Duval St with a balcony looking over Mallory Square. We are planning a near future trip back. Have a great time!

I've had early flights coming back from Vegas. Had some fun nights without sleep. Watched the newest Jason Bourne movie being filmed on the strip during our last trip.

Whatever works. I know the bluers need to head out at some point Sunday.

Well, we're back from Charleston from a beautiful weekend and fun visit with our son. Spent most of the time building the new Lego Disney Castle - for anyone interested, it was over 700 steps, which were broken down into 14 "components". I'd say bags since they were numbered 1-14, but there were multiple bags with each number. Took much of the weekend, even with a kid who graduated from MIT with a degree in engineering! If you're interested, here's the link to each of the components and the finished project:

Just the pic of the finished castle if you don't want to click:



Also, big news - I'm now the proud grandma of a grandkitty! My youngest and his GF (the ones in St. Louis) adopted a 6 year old cat this weekend. Since they both own (used, 2013) Lexus hybrids, when they looked at the shelter listings and saw a Lexus they knew it was fate. Here's my grandbaby



So...still 3:00 Friday at Margaritaville (hurricane notwithstanding)? And 2pm on Sunday at MIB? Let me know if missing anything as I skimmed and hope you're all enjoying it here!

 

[macraven]

Legos??

Threw all them out when my boys were preteen

Never stepped on another one barefoot after that

(Step on a few Legos and you loose the love for them)

Lol

Marcie cute kitty

Congrats on the new addition!

I've had early flights coming back from Vegas. Had some fun nights without sleep. Watched the newest Jason Bourne movie being filmed on the strip during our last trip.

Cool to see a filming! and AAACKK on early flights home from Vegas - hangovers on a plane aren't fun (NOT that I'd know anything about that!)

Stay safe to all the SANS peeps who may be in Matthews path! Here's to hoping he decides to go home early!

That castle is kinda cool!! @marciemi

At Epcot next to the American adventure pavilion is where the chase lounge is located
Used to be called the visa lounge

Credit card companies sponsored

Entry is at the fro t of the building and you show the cc to the cm in order to enter the elevator to the second floor lounge

I only use it to charge my phone
If I so t need a charge, I skip this place

I wish I had known this sooner. We did EP for half of today and all of yesterday so now we're done with it for this trip. It's something to keep in mind for the next time we do Disney though I'm guessing that will be a while. Tomorrow is Magic Kingdom and then Thursday is likely MK part of the day and whatever else the kids want to do.




I survived my first solo day with the kids. Middle child did much better than the last trip. There was a little grumbling at times, but no embarrassing meltdowns, so that was cool. Youngest made up for it though. In his defense, he hurt his toe at the waterpark on Saturday. And he has a bit of a cold. And he refused to eat breakfast so he was hungry. And then the sun came out and he was too hot. Later a few stray raindrops fell and that freaked him out. But all-in-all, things actually went pretty well. Youngest is finally willing to do more rides so that makes it a lot easier. I'm hoping I'll finally get him on Spider-Man and Transformers when we go to The dark side. Speaking of, I'm having second thoughts about Friday looking at the weather report. We may wait to do Universal until next week. Weather has been great so far though. Hot, but not crazy hot. This morning was actually remarkably comfortable.

Well, rain delayed us over an hour. Think I have the longest walk to my room. Decided to go to Epcot, and now resting. Was going to take the boat to the Spings, but oh well.

Hope all are enjoying this evening.

I was at Epcot all day on Sunday too. It was far more crowded than I'm used to seeing it, but I had never been during October before this trip.
