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

[Lynne G]

Ah, got our luggage around 9:15, picked our rental car, by the time we got to Target it was 10 after 10. Both of us were hungry, so glad the burger place was open until 11. We wolfed down burgers and fries and a large lemonade. Came out, very full. Drove around the parking lot, as hard to see where to park, given handicap and valet take up a lot of it. But we found a spot under a light, which we prefer. Entered our room around 11:15. We didn’t even bother to take any of our 30 Target items still nicely placed in our trunk. I freshened up, and now ready for bed. Little one is in the shower. I don’t blame her, it’s always good to be refreshed after traveling. Oh, and the shower is huge.

And, we really like our room. Near the elevator, and balcony looks over the pool and green areas, and we can also see the Epcot ball too. Glad it seems very quiet. And cute welcome on the tv, as it says happy birthday to little one with a cake under her name. Packed some gifts for her, that I’ll give her tomorrow morning when she wakes up. Booked the steak restaurant for a late breakfast, as she wanted to try breakfast there, as we were not fond of the dinner we had there. At least we only have to go down in the same building to get there.

Okay, I’m not a night owl, and have been awake since 4:30 this morning. Good night all, and little one has the light on, as still in that probably nice and warm shower, so all can see the way to the loo or get that midnight snack without stubbing a toe.

enjoy the park in the morning!

Happy Friday. Another exciting laundry day for me.
Yesterday's medical visit showed that I still have a lingering ear infection. Hope that is completely gone by next Friday.
Hope Lynne and her daughter are enjoying some fun park time. I just looked at my app and most of the wait times are surprisingly low.
One week from now I should be getting ready to board my flight to Orlando.

This is Halloween, even if it is my little one’s birthday and in August:



It’s not sideways in my pictures, but oh well. Look at it sideways.

 

[Charade67]

I forgot to wish a Happy Birthday to Lynne's daughter. I hope the power outage didn't put too much of a damper on the celebration.

Football season kicks off for us today. We have a game at 4:00.

Nope, we had a great night for the party, Mac. They all came on line about an hour or so later. Watched the fireworks and the parade, and road almost all ae wanted to, plus two bags full of candy. Even better, no rain at all during the party hours. Only a downpour around 4, where we scored an inside table, and enjoyed a longer lunchtime, and rain gone by the time we left.

Lazy morning, and finally almost ready for some Epcot fun today, before a night with some TL fun. Only prediction today, is rain chances in the early evening. That’s okay, we should be in our bathing suits during when the rain to fall. Even with the rain yesterday, it’s been so muggy out here. Ah, enjoy being in shorts and t shirts.

Holiday weekend time. Yay for last Saturday in August, today.

[Lynne G]

Keisha, nope and I was on at 7 that night. Oh well. Little one not fond of the menu, neither am I, hence not that sadness at missing. But we find, reservations can be found day of most of the time. In fact, the new Epcot bar was saying they welcome walk ups while we there this afternoon.

At TL drying off after pool and lazy river, and body slides done. Fun night, and no rain today either.

Good Sunday morning everyone

Safe travels to Charade, Keisha and Robo.

Thank you Lynne good to see you and your daughter got in safely.

I checked my room this morning and the rate has dropped again. I have modified my reservation 7 times. The current rate saves me $112.50 from what I originally booked. I hadn't originally planned on going to Epic on this trip, but now I'm reconsidering.

Great to hear you have had another decrease in the price of your room.

A trip to Epic sounds like a great idea.

thanks homie!

Mac it is so good to see you back posting. You have been missed.

Took her to get blonde yesterday to my girl. Was sweating it out as she mostly does mature women. She asked for & got “Barbie” lol.

Her hair looks beautiful. I righted your photo for you. She is really growing up fast. It is wonderful you get to enjoy spending time with her.



I straightened your photos for you Lynne. Castle looks beautiful. So glad you all enjoyed the MNSSHP.





Lynne happy belated birthday to your daughter



Charade I hope you ear infection gets healed up soon and you feel all better for your trip.


Let’s talk about the weather……..we have had a wonderful reprieve from the severe heat here for the last week and it has been great. Upper 70’s to low 80’s during the day and low 60’s at night with humidity in the 60’s. Not the normal here, but I will take it. We really need some rain here though.

Have not been feeling the best last few days. Hoping this passes so I feel 100% for vacation. Good news is the bruising in my foot is almost gone. Will celebrate all the victories big and small.

Leaving in 7 days. Will be heading out the door for airport next Sunday morning.


I took a little time yesterday to group the things I want to take on vacation in the closet. Not sure why but I do dislike trying to make decisions on what to pack the night before I leave. I haven’t had a swimsuit on all summer so had to pick one of those…..didn’t look that good. But, what the heck.

Did see that my car rental went down. But I had already locked in the rate so could not take advantage of that. Never know when the best time for those things are. Sometimes if wait to late price goes up. Should have held out for one of the cancellation choices. Win some lose some.

I have my massage, hair and pedicure appts this week. Don’t want to look to raggedy on vacation..LOL

Pepe Le Pew is out and definitely needs to be colored.



Have a few things I want to do in the yard today.


Have a wonderful Sunday everyone doing whatever makes you happy.

After having to do some work this early morning, we then took the bus to Coronado, for some D 23 shopping. We didn’t end up with much, but we did score some cute ball caps and sweatshirt and really cool zip up kinda like a jacket, all at 40 or so percent off. Then we took the bus back to MK, and did take out lunch at Steak 71. Both of us said, we’d stick with the quick service next time. I have to say, after having steak there three times, we’d place it as a low ranked steak place, as odd cuts, and low quality steaks. Sadly, we really liked it when it was the Wave.

Then, since very cheap fast passes at Animal Kingdom, we are spending the late afternoon here, after riding the very back of Everest, second row of Dino and a 23 minute animal safari. Hence, picture to show my kid is double jointed and the second, to welcome Mac posting again:





Up next, H2O night. Again. Woot! Beautiful weather.

great pictures Lynne!

Welcome to September. Caspian woke me up this morning and I am waiting for him to settle back down before trying to get back to sleep. I plan to spend the day house cleaning. It has gotten severely neglected while I was sick.

My school won its first football game of the season on Saturday. Dh was ecstatic that Florida State beat Alabama.

we had a great night for the party,

Glad y'all had a good time. I hope to go to the Halloween party some day.

still so unseasonably cool here, over a week

Sorry about the pool. I'm really enjoying the cooler weather. Too bad it doesn't extend to Florida.

A trip to Epic sounds like a great idea.

I'm trying to buy a ticket but I keep getting an error message when I try to check out. I guess I'll be calling guest services later today.

Have not been feeling the best last few days. Hoping this passes so I feel 100% for vacation.

Hope you are feeling better very soon.

My room rate has dropped again. It has gone from $152 per night to $113. I wonder how close to $100 it will get before I arrive.
