You were brave. I couldn't bring myself to read those. I have a couple of friends who were really into them though.
Gorgeous. I would love to see them in person but too much of a wimp to deal with the cold.
I don't know who here is a member of the pass holder Facebook page, but some of the members are creating memes with this sign. I guess they are doing maintenance on it right now and the sign is blank.
Here are some of my favorites so far.

Such a shame it’s taken me this long to get checked in here tonight ….
Most are sleeping now with the exception of Soniam
But she is I think a few hours behind me so most likely it’s not even midnight where she is
Oh, and Schumi would be awake too
I'm in central time. I think you are in eastern time, right? If so, then only an hour. I just tend to stay up late when I shouldn't.Such a shame it’s taken me this long to get checked in here tonight ….

This is one of the things that makes me miss the social distancing rules.Our previous visit to the last one, we met a few folks who I wish had followed the please use deoderant sign if it had been up!!! You wonder how people can get so stale at times!!!
Good luck with the book.And with bacon for lunch, food is sorted for the day! And will have another attempt at this darn book......last chance.......I`m wondering if the woman who chose it is a good fit for this group now!!
One of the best April Fool's jokes I know happened years ago when I was living in Georgia. I listened to an oldies radio station every morning. The morning DJ's started playing a commercial for a new Atlanta newspaper called The Atlanta Post about a week before April Fool's Day. It had a cute jingle and some celebrity endorsements. At the end of the commercial it said to look for your complimentary copy this Thursday (which was April 1). When Thursday came the DJs were talking about the wonderful new newspaper on the air and even had people calling in to discuss it. Lots of people started calling in complaining that they never received their free copy. After awhile the DJs started having fun with the callers asking questions like: Did you check your driveway? Did you check your mailbox? Did you check in the bushes? After getting "No" to all of the questions they asked "Did you check the calendar?". It still took awhile for some people to catch on.Hehe, saw those posts Charade. Seemed to be mostly quiet that fool of a day. Told little one, yeah remember the martians were invading in 1938? How many were scared it was true. She said, would not believed by as many it happened today, though she said with the access we have now, there’s so much fake news on the web, there’s always someone who will think it was true.
Sounds like plans are coming along well. Is any of this a surprise or does he know all about it?Celebration planning is making progress. I made a dinner reservation for our anniversary in a couple of weeks, because I wasn't sure if DH had. Turns out he hadn't, so that was good. It's a new Caribbean restaurant in town. It's not uber fancy but a little upscale and gourmet. I also picked up an expensive bottle of bourbon for DH's birthday. I managed to get a reservation for a small, omakase Japanese restaurant for his birthday too. The reservations for several restaurants in town opened up at noon yesterday. My first choice was glitching. By the time it was working, decent times were gone. Luckily, my 2nd and 3rd choices were available. I wonder how people who aren't used to making hard to get reservations, like at Disney, manage. I also booked 2 reservations for our Indy 500 trip, which is just 2 days after DH's birthday. There are 7 of us, and no one has gotten back to me about when they will be arriving or where they want to eat.
He knows where and when our anniversary reservation is. He asked me if we wanted to eat out, so I told him I what I booked. He knows we are eating out for his birthday, because he needed to block time off his work calendar so that the California guys wouldn't book a meeting during dinner. They tend to book meetings at 4 or 5pm their time, sometimes later, which ends up 6 or 7pm our time. He doesn't know what the restaurant is though or about the trials and tribulations in booking it. I will tell him about that once we are there and eating. He doesn't know about the bourbon. He doesn't know about the restaurants for Indy either. He knows that we want to have a meal though.Sounds like plans are coming along well. Is any of this a surprise or does he know all about it?
It‘s always the last room at the inn. Have grabbed it for many last minute trips over the years when we couldn’t snag a good cash rate somewhere at DTD hotels. 1 BR tend to last the longest at most of the resorts. Not a fan of how they split SSR into 2 categories, preferred & standard.can still pull SSR for last 2 weeks in August, 1st 3 weeks in September (1 bedroom). Kinda surprised finding anything actually.
Same! Although, not sure I’d want to stay at HHR after reading some unfavorable construction reviews. Not sure if work is now done or not.Keisha we have SF booked for Aug but hoping for AP rate at one of the 3. However I do love SF. Just wish it came with EP! Love PB. We stayed once and really enjoyed it. But most stays have been HR for short walk.
Nothing like coffee on the balcony at AKL! Overlooking the savanna. And wine at night lol!
i’ve learned if i book a crack of dawn one, the troops are flagging by 4 pm and ready to retreat To the resort. They do better with later flights & closing down the parks the first day.And having first day for most of the park time.
last few rentals for us have been shockingly close to good old days For midsize SUV down to intermediates. Paying a bit more this go-round, still well under $250 for 8 Days.Car rental is obscene right now.
Wow, talk about cutting it close. We always buy GD her WDW AP. when she & parents needed to visit near Xmas it had to be upgraded. i let the parents handle that detail lolbought APs for them in the morning about 10am. By 11am, they had stopped selling APs. We just got under the wire. We have always purchased the Platinum, now incredipass, APs, because we tend to go during the blackout times/when school is out.
That could’ve gotten uglySeveral other guests were asking why we were able to get APs when they couldn't.
Sounds like a such a lovely tripWe are planning to go back to Disneyland for B's (and hopefully mine too) graduation.
Um, no way. I still remember struggling to get thru that monstrosityChaucer`s The Canterbury Tales was so much easier than this!
They obviously need to ride minions & listen to Gru!Our previous visit to the last one, we met a few folks who I wish had followed the please use deoderant sign if it had been up!!! You wonder how people can get so stale at times!!!
You sure ticked off a lot of boxes. I spent last hour cancelling most of the dining we had booked for next week. Just not feeling spending big $$$ on subpar food in most cases @ WDW. Happily will hop in the car and mostly visit our favorites offsite.Celebration planning is making progress
Think I`m giving up on this book......dreary beyond belief!Happy Saturday. My day is not going as planned. I was going to stay home and clean, but dh talked me into go to the movies instead. We just got back from seeing Uncharted. While I was at the movie I got a call from the community theater company, They had to cancel Xanadu tonight due to someone getting Covid. We have rescheduled for Thursday night.
This is one of the things that makes me miss the social distancing rules.
Good luck with the book.

I have no idea what I am going to do for the rest of the day. I am trying to avoid taking a nap.
need to toss a few more things in the suitcase & we will be ready to go. The Mr really needs a break.

Today SWA had technical issues, cancelling flights galore ugh. Glad we booked allegiant down. had a credit to utilize from when the Pooh hit the fan for all the airlines early last August

the one that has me nervous is the long 4th of July rate starting in TPA, getting killed with more days & what I assume is a drop charge for MCO.
Oddly, didn’t get assessed one this trip despite coming into SFB & departing MCO. Maybe a glitch?

The two new coasters will be enticing many.Oddly, now both kids do want to visit the mouse. Guess maybe next year or whenever older one tells me he has more than a few days off. And hoping to find a deal on the hotel, and hope the military tickets still are around next year. Costly no matter what.
Robbie you always post such cute pictures in your posts
Especially for the holidays !
Always a challenge to avoid the dudes on the strip handing out the ahem trading cards. However, I do think it all depends on the family and how they tend to roll. We don’t exactly run with the wild crowd there, gambling isn’t the focus of the trip for us.
Thanks Robo. I’m a little nervous about starting back again.
scary, and sad, as that pile up was not that far North of me. Saying now 5 confirmed dead, with more then a dozen hurt. On a week day, there’s lots of trucks with cars on that highway. It’s a very main highway through the lower parts of our mountain areas. Saying a whiteout, with quite a few vehicles that were on fire, so dead count increased as they got to the burned vehicles earlier this morning.
Loved those toursBack many years ago as part of ticket price for KSC you were able to take guided bus tour that lasted about 2 to 3 hours that took you out on the road by the rock road where the transporter crawler takes the ships to the launch pads, went to viewing area of launch pads. The tour included a visit to mission control etc. That no longer exits.
I thot I was just too dim to figure out how to post, phewWill be happy when the board sets our smilies back up
Glad you made it to the motherland!Hey all. So many cancelled flights to FL today. ‘Technical’ errors stated for some airlines. Others blamed it on the weather.
Allegiant had us sitting on tarmac for so long, figured we’d be heading back to gate. Turns out, plane so full, they had to burn off fuel in order to fly safely. First time I heard that one
Phew, made it & for once room
Ready early at WDW. When we entered the MK this afternoon, the mr marched us right into store on Main Street and insisted I pick out the purse Ive been eyeing up.
Loved those tours
