Something About Nothing............ #14

[macraven]

Look at the resort and see if they are doing a discounted rate

they somewhat try to lower prices to fill the rooms to get more peeps to stay at to lower cost at their hotelI see this happen for every night but the weekends as they have higher prices for the weekend

Hi everybody

I'm happy to report that we have booked our September trip we will be there Sept 19 -28. We will be at WDW for 4 nights and Sapphire Falls for 5 ...best thing is all 3 of us are going this time. It's the first time since our 2015 Mardi Gras trip. Hopefully, HHN will be back this year.

Lynne, hope your head feels better soon.

I'm watching football too! Trying to wind down from day 4 of 8 in a row at work.

A belated to Kyle and everyone else I missed.

Shout out to mac, Carole, Robo, keisha, Julie, Bobbie, Monyk, Sue, Elsa, Charade,kfish, Disneylife, and anyone else reading along. Hope you all have a wonderful night.

Fabulous news Vicki! And glad all three of you are travelling this year....we leave on the 28th too, again, if we manage to travel there at all......lol.......so we`ll be able to say hello to all three of you again, will look forward to that.

Thank you Vicki, he had a lovely birthday, albeit a little different.

Good to see you though and hope you`re all doing ok.....I think I owe you an email or three.....

With the changes on the boards, some peeps can’t use some of the functions.

So far, only limits I have is I can only do the basic like button.
Don’t have the other options now.
Minor compared to what others are limited to.

It’s been a football night for tv at my house.
I’m ok with with the two teams.

I think some icons are unavailable for me and predictive txt when you do a search for someone`s name. I was trying to remember a poster from long ago, but no joy. I`ll tell you later, I`m sure you`ll remember........

I'm starting to do research on the Universal properties. Surfside and Dockside are the cheapest, but some of the reviews aren't great. Several complaints about uncomfortable beds and scratchy towels. I'm also looking at Aventura and Cabana Bay. I guess I got really spoiled by staying at the Royal Pacific, but it just isn't in my budget this time.
Right now I'm looking at possibly Sept, 26-29 or Oct 1-4. Hotel rates are cheaper for the September dates, but I would have to take time off work.
Any tips on getting the best rates for everything?

Out of those you listed, I`d try Aventura or Dockside. We leave on the 28th like Vicki.




Sunday again......and I`m up far too early!

Bacon up soon mac.........

Looks to be a dull grey day, but not too cold so we may do our once a day outing as a walk to the beach. That`ll be after breakfast I think. Definitely bacon and maybe pancakes this morning, I have a lot of flour and eggs. Eggs are always plentiful as we get them from the farm next to us, he drops them off at our gate, but we always mae sure they get somethings back as he won`t take any money for them. Beautiful eggs they are too.

Then not much else....the usual Sunday catch up with certain friends and family....mum still hasn`t got internet in which she was supposed to. My niece who was going to help her still hasn`t completely recovered from Covid after 2 and a half months so hasn`t been out yet, and won`t risk visiting my mum anyway. So no video chats with her yet.

Steaks for dinner tonight. Will keep the diced beef and make a steak pie for Monday.

Time for some ginger tea.........

Have a wonderful Sunday.........​

 

[Lynne G]

Charade, book, and then every so often check for a lower rate. If you find it, call them, they will always let you change he to the lower rate. I prefer SF over the others, but I would choose CB or Adventura over Dockside, Surfside. Hope you can go, as I am thinking last 2 weeks if September too.

 

[Lynne G]

Ah yes, drinking some tea, beautiful sunrise, and head is still not quite right, but at least the pain just comes and goes. I’m ready to feel normal now.

No get the trash out, as with the holiday Monday, trash out will be on Monday, with a Tuesday pickup. But food runs probably, as have to see the kitchen stock.

Off to toast a piece of rye bread. Little one stopped at the deli for me, as I prefer a rye bread like I grew up with, with kimmel seeds. The bakery that made the bread I was used too, disappeared about when I was in college. Took awhile to find the couple of places that sell the closest to that old bakery’s rye bread.

Super sized Sunday, homies.

 

[macraven]

Feel better real soon Lynne

 

[Realfoodfans]

Lynne hope you feel fully better soon. I had to look up Kimmel seeds - we call it Caraway. I used to make a nice Rye loaf but I avoid seeds now.

Slow start this morning but made oatcakes for everyone. Not the Scottish hard biscuit like oatcakes but a Staffordshire/Derbyshire oat based pancake with a cheese and sausage filling today.

Roast chicken traditional roast meal for later.

Children are on the Wii with Em having done a short walk so I think we will get an hour of peace while they are busy!

 

[Charade67]

I’m doing a lot of comparison shopping. It will be a while before I can make a decision. I like the fun look of Cabana Bay, but the low price of Dockside is enticing. Ive also checked the price of flights. I can get a decent rate out of Roanoke. I’m a little nervous about flying alone. The only other time I’ve done that was almost 21 years ago. Thankfully this will be a much shorter flight. I will have to wait a bit before I can fully commit to this.

No plans for today except watching more football. It’s going to be a lazy Sunday.

 

[keishashadow]

Good Sunday all a band of snow at over our area yesterday, wound up with a few inches of ‘bonus’ snow. Would be nice if the sun made one of it’s rare appearances to melt it.

The mr got word from work, over half his coworkers in the large facility have been infected. Entire departments are closing for quarantine. Yes, they are all essential workers, most doing 12 hours days since the get-go. Yoo-hoo, those vaccines would be appreciated any time

I think we miss you in September Janet, but we do match up In December I believe.......I sense a meet up there again!

We will be at WDW first, arrive 23rd or 24th, depends on flight schedules. Yes, we missed seeing you guys last year.

September 30th is the one time that month I can't go. That's my wedding anniversary.

I would hope not .

So I guess it was just a migraine, and head is taking its time getting rid of the pain. Eh, just thankful it’s during my downtime.

True, no fun to try to be productive when sick. It’s has struck me how bizzare though, somebody coughs or gets the sniffles and all heads turn

We will be at WDW for 4 nights and Sapphire Falls for 5 ...best thing is all 3 of us are going this time. It's the first time since our 2015 Mardi Gras trip. Hopefully, HHN will be back this year.

How nice it worked out for you, enjoy!

So far, only limits I have is I can only do the basic like button.

Ok for me. I am scratching my head over those who post links, see that they are just scrolling & don’t go back to remove them. Has to be sucking up bandwidth here & slowing everything down.

Any tips on getting the best rates for everything?

Book something a few months out as a placeholder at both resorts.

No bounceback offers at WDW but might be by the time you visit, be sure to check. There will be deals there, especially if no MNSSHP.

At U, can adjust the rate when deals come out, however, only if at the same property. Otherwise, you have to cancel & redeposit new one.

Watch the boards. Do you have an AP? If not may be worth it buy seasonal to use the rate.

A month or so pre arrival, might want to seewhat pops up on hotwire or priceline. A final transaction, only for those who are willing to roll the dice. Have seen CB pop up often, along with adventura. Have never gotten lucky tho with Universal. Quite often at WDW.

Another big fan of SF. If it included the FOTL, I’d book it over RP (which we also enjoy, the public areas have seen just a bit more crowded to us over the years, especially the pool).

Out of those you listed, I`d try Aventura or Dockside. We leave on the 28th like Vicki.

Haven’t tried either. room at CB faced Aventura, looked to be a nice property, geared to adults.

We’ve enjoyed the WDW values too many times to count . They serve their purpose for us and we do get a big kick out of the giant icons/design; especially for shorter trips.

CB was a disappointment to us. Obvious management issues that aren’t consistent with Loews standards. Didn’t help that their pools had maintenance issues all at the same time during a fall trip two years ago. Will say their bus service was stellar. Could’ve been a fluke but there are so many choices there, we haven’t given it another chance. So many here love the resort & have made it their home away from home. Suggest checking out recent reviews.

Little one stopped at the deli for me, as I prefer a rye bread like I grew up with, with kimmel seeds

That was nice of her! Exact opposite here, can’t find rye bread without seeds. Cannot abide them, including the dreaded everything bagel lol. Annoying that onion & Asiago ones seemingly have gone poof due to the now limited runs. At least raisin ones have made the cut

We did a split stay that included 5 nights at CB and 5 nights at HR, HR is nothing new to us and I often refer to it as our “Home away from home” we love HR and RP and PB.

However we were pleasantly surprised with how much we liked CB and the value is really unbeatable, I received an exclusive offer through email, 3 adults and 1 kid for $104 a night in a Family pool view suite, so I took them up on it. We thought the bus service was great, but we are used to walking or using a boat to get to Citywalk or the parks.

Again I think the value was great. The food court area, although not gourmet, was surprisingly good as well and prices were very cheap.

We have stayed at SF and really like that place as well, very beautiful colors throughout, love the on-site dining and bars, the pool is spectacular and the staff are great also, having boat service gives you that exclusive resort feel also.

Have fun deciding, FYI our CB trip was in the time frame last year you are looking at this year, I also wanted to note that last year for that time frame AP discounts at RP included standard rooms for $179 per night.

 

[schumigirl]

Lynne hope you feel better soon......headaches can be so draining......


Charade I’d agree with Janet and Lynne.......SF is a cut above the other you’ve mentioned.......but Aventura has a more adult feel out of the ones you mentioned. And much closer in proximity than Dockside/Surfside.

Hope it works out for you.......


Janet.......love the meme and hope the mister avoids it all. Yes, we missed a few meets last year,......will be rectified. Have a great Sunday.......



We got a lovely phone call today.......one of my Goddaughters had her baby a few weeks early.......all is well though and mummy and baby are doing incredibly well.

This is a much awaited for baby after so many years of trying. We are over the moon and she sent the most beautiful picture of her and baby.....and my friends are finally Grandparents which will thrill them. Their other two kids are younger and so far show no signs of wanting a family.

So congrats to my beautiful Goddaughter Clara and her husband Hugo and a very warm welcome to Arabella Cecily........

Can‘t even have some champagne to celebrate.........lol.......

Goodness knows when I’ll get to see her. They live about two hours away from us, so beyond where we can travel at the minute. Pictures and FaceTime when she‘s ready will do for now.........certainly brightened a dull grey afternoon.

 

[Lynne G]

Yay! Baby news. Glad to hear mum and baby Arabella are doing well, Schumi. Lots of loving family for the new baby. Congratulations to Clara and Hugo, and grandparents.

With more drugs, feeling a little better. Thank you all for well wishes. I don’t get headaches very often, but when I do, I’m not a good patient. Family hears me complaining quite a bit. I read it can last a week. Noooo, it has been 4 days, and that is more than I wanted. But am relaxing and enjoyed a cool feeling lunchtime walk. Full sunny day, so I was hoping the sun would feel good. Tad to bright for me.

Little one spied a bag of chocolate chips as was going to make cookies. But yep, chocolate chip pancakes and eggs benedict, and brunch was served. I enjoyed the pancakes. One left, so saved for another snack, finder’s eater.

Time for a mid afternoon nap or at least, rest. Thankfully, alarm not set for tomorrow. Yay, a holiday Monday is so appreciated, as gives me another day to relax, and not have to get up early. Ah who’s kidding. Was stupidly awake at 5 this morning. But at least was no need to move. Hehe, woke little one around 11am. After 1/2 hour, asked where she was. She went back to sleep. Hence, brunch was eaten around 1pm today. Ah, the colleges kids go back to school this week, as do all 4 of us. Yeah, and no dropping little one off to school. The City is still requiring maximum use of telework, and while the campus is open, all classes can be taken virtually. I see no reason to risk staying in the City, where virus numbers continue to climb, and sit in a dorm to stream the class. City says no more than 25 people in any indoor gathering. Most of her classes have more than double that in students. And to think college kids will conform to mask wearing and hand washing or number limits? News already reporting parties in the City Universities. Nope. Not my kid.

Ah, Sunday. Yes it is. 43 out. Yep, any day almost 10 degrees above freezing is a good Winter day. Dipping into the 30’s this week, so bundle up.

I don't have an AP. Would it be worth it if I am only planning to stay 3 nights with only 2 days at the parks? How would I purchase an AP? I was looking on the website, but it kept taking me to either a FL resident page or just regular tickets.

I'm only planning 3 nights, so I think cheap will be the way to go. Dh wants to stay at HR the next time we have a long vacation.

I know you don't care for it, but I actually like the look of Cabana Bay over that of Aventura. I don't mind being a little less adult at a theme park. I do like the idea of being closer to the parks though. I have a lot to consider.

We got a lovely phone call today.......one of my Goddaughters had her baby a few weeks early.......all is well though and mummy and baby are doing incredibly well.

Congratulations to the family.

With more drugs, feeling a little better.

Glad to hear it.

Waiting for football to start.

 

[Charade67]

I think I just figured it out. If I'm reading this correctly an annual pass would be the same price as a 2 day, park to park ticket. So.....if I bought an AP it would give me a discount on the hotel?

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

I think I just figured it out. If I'm reading this correctly an annual pass would be the same price as a 2 day, park to park ticket. So.....if I bought an AP it would give me a discount on the hotel?

Yes, and if you are able to go twice in the time period of the AP it almost pays for itself, also preferred and premier get restaurant and store discounts.

I didn’t mean to confuse you mentioning HR but we did enjoy our stay at CB.

I think there might still be an additional 3 months free on AP but not for certain you may want to look into that if possibly purchasing and your AP would be active for the time period after 1st use, so if you bought one next week but didn’t use it til September then it would be a year from that time, or 15 months from that time if that promo is still going on.

 

[Robo56]

Good Sunday afternoon Sans family

Don’t often buy celebration cakes but this lady was recommended and I just thought it would be a surprise and it is a lovely moist cake.

Wow.....that is a chocolicious looking cake. The person who made it has great skills with buttercream. It looks so smooth it looks like fondant. Beautiful cake. I’am sure Em was very pleased with her beautiful birthday cake.

I enjoy a little sweet Something with my morning cuppa that passes for breakfast most days. Family enjoys the brand of raisin cookies that Sam’s sells in bakery, almost as good as mine Nearly choked today on the bonus ingredient.

Looks like a splinter of wood.

Middle DS up at ER with the bit-too-long-for comfort gut issues. They will sort him out, just hope he doesn’t pick up anything while there, still not letting family members into health facilities here. Not sure how that goes elsewhere.

Hope you’re son was able to find out what was causing his stomach problems.

I'm happy to report that we have booked our September trip we will be there Sept 19 -28. We will be at WDW for 4 nights and Sapphire Falls for 5 ...best thing is all 3 of us are going this time. It's the first time since our 2015 Mardi Gras trip. Hopefully, HHN will be back this yea

Great news on your trip in September with your son and daughter. You deserve a nice family trip. Hope you and your family are doing well. So nice to see you post.


Sun is shinning this morning and the sky is blue. Was 49 degrees when I woke up. Should warm up nice today.

I received phone call from granddaughter M Thursday evening that she has tested positive for Covid. She has worked from home since last February and she has limited her contact to 3 people in her fiancés family and her parents, brother and us. She thinks it was her fiancés sister who infected his father and her. His dad and sister are sick too.

She had limited contact with them last Saturday and she started feeling ill on Tuesday. Was tested Wednesday and got positive result Thursday evening. Her fiancé is negative. She is a type 1 diabetic.

I’am praying for her healing. She has been in contact with her doctor and she will be monitoring her at home. I’am FaceTiming with her twice a day. Praying that all the vitamin C, Zinc and vitamin D pays off in shortening the severity of her illness.

Lynne hope you are feeling better soon.

Sister who lives up near Orlando said she heard on the news that Florida Governor was saying thousands of folks are not showing up for their second injections of the vaccine. They are holding back those shots for those people. He said If they don’t show up soon they will need to release those vaccines so others can get their first shot.

I would have suspected those folks should have been more then willing to complete the required second injection to complete the vaccine therapy. Not sure what’s going on there.

Sister also told me that a number of Nurses she used to work with in Minnesota received their 2nd injection and all are off work sick now. At this point just not sure what to think anymore.

At this point it seems it’s one of those damned if you do and damned if you don’t kind of things.

Headaches are horrible. I’m glad you’re doing better, and yes, fresh air is always good. You have some cold weather coming.......think we have heavy rain forecast midweek for us.

Yikes! Lots of prayers for everyone involved.

You’ll enjoy your time wherever you stay. Yes, Cabana Bay is not for me, too many a negative reports aside the theme is one we’re not keen on either.

AP rooms are limited, so check for AP rates to come out and get in quick.

Good Sunday morning Sans family

Best wishes to your granddaughter Robo......what a worry with her Diabetes too. I hope she doesn’t get hit too severe with symptoms and all the measures she’s taking helps her along the way.

That’s worrying folks aren’t taking their second shot. And worrying news about the nurses too.

Hope you’re doing well.......





Mild night here, bedroom windows will be open I think. Tuesday and Wednesday we are predicted high levels of rain all over I think. Flood warnings in some areas where they’ve had snow.

Watching some true life murders tonight........not exactly cheerful viewing, but quite absorbing.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday.........

This is a much awaited for baby after so many years of trying. We are over the moon and she sent the most beautiful picture of her and baby.....and my friends are finally Grandparents which will thrill them. Their other two kids are younger and so far show no signs of wanting a family.

Congratulations to all on the new baby in the family.

Prayers for your grandaughter Robo!

Its very upsetting news you received and hope she recovers quickly and completely.

 

[bobbie68]

everyone I took a few minutes out to pop on. We have been swamped here with packing, I thought I was doing good then last night looked at how much stuff we have left and got anxious. My mother in law came over and helped a bit today, got a good amount done. Brian and I looked at the big stuff we have and are worried the big truck won't hold it all, so last minute getting rid of stuff we were on the fence about. I decided to buy a bike rack for my car and put the 4 bikes there to take less room in the truck. One of my friends is driving one car, my nephew was suppose to help but can't so I am going to share the driving of one car with Charlie (with his permit he can drive through several states with an adult) that helps I can't do long drives. Brian will be driving the truck and towing the camper. We are scheduled to leave this Friday barring any issues and will be in Orlando on Sunday. There are some slight issues trying to resolve so closing doesn't get delayed.

Oh the September trips sound good. I am looking forward to meet up with anybody anytime they come down. I love to meet people espeically the SANS family. I will only be about 25 minutes from Universal.

I wish I had more time to catch up but if I don't pack I feel anxious. I scanned very quickly and saw there were some birthdays.
to Kyle
to EM
to anyone I missed.

I am sorry for SANS and family who have COVID I will keep everyone in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. I hope anyone getting the vaccine has no reactions. Sorry for vacations getting cancelled due to COVID travel bans.

I love CB it is a real fun resort and have always had a great visit. PBH is probably my favorite. Looking forward to try RP one night on the 30th.

I am off I will try and pop back in before I leave on Friday. I hope everyone stays healthy and safe
