HAPPY EASTER !!

Hello all ...

Tammy ,Lori and Barb. Thanks for the input on the DDP. I think because we are an up and go family we would not do well on the DDP. We only eat one or two TS meals all of our vacation . WE would rather not be on a time limit while waiting on a line and have to leave for a reservation at a TS resturant. Also we are driving down and have a Family suite so our breakfasts are usually quick bowls of cereal that I will have in the room. I think that it will not be worth it for us . So we are going to skip it . Also when we go to the AK we ususally eat at RFC and they are not on the DDP last time I checked . One more point for anyone that may want to know the new DDP is a litle confusing and would work better for my family only if we took the deluxe plan which for 5 of us is over $2,000. I think we can do better then that on our own . Remember that Mc Donalds is cheaper then park food and it is right outside our resort .

Ok gotta go the kiddies are eating all the candy and are now a little crazy and hyper .

Have a great Easter everyone . I am going to stuff my face as the morning brings my teeth issues to an end ....I HOPE ... Will let everyone know how it goes as soon as I feel better . Enjoy the day and I hope to be back on Monday maybe Tuesday though .

Yeah...I remember that...you're little 'discussion' with the teacher cleared that up, right?

Yes. Joshua told me a few days later that the boy apologized to him and told him he wouldn't hit him anymore. I've checked from time to time and Joshua says that the boy mostly stays away from him. I guess somebody had a talk with the kid.

So, what did you do with the house to yourself?? And how did the egg hunt go? You sure have a lot of 'em around you..... They must make out very well....you'll have candy till September at this rate! Oh well...the boys are only little once and have a ball...so, why not?

I baked an apple pie. I straightened up. I did laundry. I prepped some food.

The boys had a good time at the egg hunt. This one was at the lodge of a local state park, so they made a basket out of a milk jug and did craft type stuff. Carol said it was much better organized than the one here. I think I have given up on the one here. Too many people and not very well planned IMO.

The only got about 10-12 eggs at each hunt, so not really that much stuff. Mostly little erasers or rings or hershey kisses.

 

[RVGal]

Oh, and I meant to add my input on the DDP too. We don't do it at all because it wouldn't make sense for us. The ONLY table service meal we eat is a character meal. Other than that, we are strictly CS meals. Our boys can easily split a meal and sometimes we can too. Having credits for all of us, especially for TS, would force us to spend more money, not less.

I missed Raven stopping in. Where did she hide the eggs? If we can't find them, it's going to get a little stinky around here.

Easter Bunny was a hit and the boys are now getting ready for church. It'll be go, go, go from this point forward, so I just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a good day. Everyone is supposed to be here by 1pm and dinner will be at 3. If I can make it back on with some pics tonight, I will. If not, I'll see everyone tomorrow!

I ate all the eggs .. old you I had to stuff my face before the teeth come out ..

I am guessing the DDP is only good for people who do TS meals all the time. So it isn't for us .

Happy Easter and Good Morning Homies

 

[bubba's mom]

Morning everyone.........

 

[damo]

Happy Easter everyone. I betcha there are still some eggs hidden around here somewhere. The easter bunny always forgets where he's hidden a few!

 

[bubba's mom]

I've found this many so far:

but that little chick keeps stealin' 'em

 

[loribell]

No snow here either.

None here either!

thank you tag fairy for returning my tag.

much appreciated...............


i owe you big time..........

I am glad they returned yours. Did they take a new one away from me? I do not see a new one.

Your 2 oldest & niece:

As for Miss Allyson....I think she looks a LOT older with her new look So much more 'mature'.....uh-oh....lookout! The boys will be knockin on the door.... Seriously, it looks a lot better and healthier.... She donated it too, right? Like I always say, it's 'nice' to have long hair, but hair that is just hanging there and has no style and doesn't do anything, well...time to do something.... Tell her that her Mom's friend who is a professional, likes it and think she looks great!

Thanks. I will tell her. I noticed she has spaghetti sauce on her chin in that pic!

They are amazing pix Lori...thank you for taking your time out of your schedule to post them...I am simply amazed Very clever idea and very nicely done. IF I am ever in the vicinity, I'd like to stop there also! don't know why, but i just noticed in those pix that Jesus was a pretty 'buff' dude

If any of you are ever close enough to go see those sculptures you had better come see me too! They are less than 3 hours away. I wonder how the image of Jesus was ever decided on?

and waiting and waiting

it's kay.... we know you're busy.....

Maybe I can do a few today.

So, 'changing' the DDP...why was that good again?

Oh, and Le Cellier...we it too! We ate there in Feb. 2007...it was awesome!! A 'little' pricey, but totally worth it (I even brought a menu home from there )

Well the only people the new DDP was good for was Disney. We won't ever do it again. If the tip isn't included we would have never broke even. As for Le Cellier, I had made a reservation for us there every year but had always canceled it because I could not justify the cost. The first time we did it was for the Candlelight Processional on the DDP. Even Ally loves it. Last summer she and Mikey shared some sort of duck appetizer and loved it. Then they both had a steak too. Little piggies!

 

[loribell]

Bye Guys! We're off to the airport for round 2!

Everyone have a great Easter!

Happy easter everyone!! Have a good one!! We have no traditions over here so its just the good ole footy match to watch!! My team (Liverpool) against our rival team (Manchester united) and half the people coming are man u fans, the rest are liverpool fans so i expect some riots!!

Go Reds! (that is right, isn't it?)

Good morning homies and HAPPY EASTER to everyone!

What's on your agenda for today?

Morning Todd. I guess I am going to try to scan some pics today. What are your plans?

Happy Easter Everyone!

May today be a blessed one for you - whether you are going to church, spending time with family, working, or in Hawaii.

We will be attending church today with Father-in-Law. He is singing in the choir. This is first Easter without MIL who passed away in July. The church choir cantata kept him busy this winter with all the practices so that was good. MIL always hid the plastic eggs with money in them for DS. Don't know if FIL will do it this year or not. Will be a little sad today.

Tonight I am going to take my mom to our church's Easter cantata at 6pm. So it will be a day of family and church.

No tax returns - I left the office yesterday at noon and will not return until 7:30 am tomorrow. (but watch out - the next 3 weeks will be killer - may not be around too much).[/COLOR

Enjoy the day jennifer

P.S. Did I mention WVU IS IN SWEET 16 - WE BEAT DUKE - DUKE - yes, a #2 seed - the great DUKE.

I hope your family has a great day and enjoys the memories.

WVU beat who???????? You guys are having a great year and beating big teams)
Congrats!

HAPPY EASTER !!

RFC is one of the restaurants we always eat at too. It is on Ally's must do list. And you are right, it is not on the ddp. The biggest thing I didn't like about it was how much time it took. I rather be lounging by the pool then rushing to a restaurant to wait forever to eat.

I've found this many so far:

but that little chick keeps stealin' 'em

That rotten chickie!

Bye Guys! We're off to the airport for round 2!

Dont know where you are going but HAPPY trip!

Happy Easter everybody. Today I will take my 2 year old out to the park or the tennessee aquarium a bit. I have a annnual pass for it.

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention, I didn't see a new tag for you either .....I think mac's gettin' too much sun or something?


AND, IF i am anywhere NEAR where you (or another homie is), you can bet I'm coming to see ya! Matter of fact, DH & I were talking about going to Cedar Point. Probably going to drive it. While we were discussing driving vs flying, I told him we could always take 2 days and spend the night at Janet's ....told him she wouldn't mind....

Have a wonderful day and I wish WE were gonna get to the 70's.....can't seem to break 60


As for MY plans today.... need to fix a nail (somehow it broke last night while cleaning up ), apparently find the rechargable batteries for the camera (went to get fresh ones this morning, and they are NOT where they are usually kept ), vacuum and make dinner.... light day

 

[AlexandNessa]

Hi and Happy Easter to all.

Hope everyone enjoys her Easter dinner, and it proves to be some pleasant family time.

I'm bringing a bottle of wine for my mother, and another for everyone else. My grandmother has really given her a run for her money lately, and I think she'll need it. Off to assemble a shrimp tray. And a tray of gourmet stuffed olives. I know. What a terrible combo, right? They don't exactly complement each other, do they?

Peace and God Bless our DIS family. xx

 

[tarheelmjfan]

I finally got the boys settled.

Joshua insisted we leave out a bowl of water and some carrots for the Easter Bunny. That was a new one to me. We never left anything for the EB before and he came up with it all on his own. I guess since Santa gets stuff, the EB is supposed to also.

Joshua's a bright kid!

at my brothers and he has a mouse to use on his computer that doesn't like me.

Did you accidentally put on D-con instead of perfume?

When are you coming home? It seems like you've been gone forever. I hope you're having a great time, but it's time to come home missy. BTW, we've added a couple new homies, since you left. Hope it was okay to let them in the house w/o permission.

Hope the Easter Bunny is good to everyone tomorrow! Once I threatened my kids that if they weren't good the Easter Bunny wouldn't come. They told me "Well we weren't good as Christmas and Santa came". What could I say???

Last one up, please hide those eggs but don't hide them over on the Theme Parks Attractions and Strategies board please. I've spent too much time there lately.

About the only time I venture over to that board is when we're linked there from here. I do like the Restaurant Board though.

I went to Maui around this time in 2000 and they were having whale watching cruises everywhere. We didn't see squat.

We went whale watching in Alaska & they were everywhere. Actually, we were able to see them for the beach in Icy Strait Point. We should have skipped the tour.

How can anyone 'repeat ride' like that at WDW...especially in the summer or peak times?

They can't!!!

Our eggs were boiled and colored....we like to write/draw on them with crayons before we color them....will haveta take a pic of DH's one green one....

Don't forget you owe us a picture.

I came 'this close' to getting new ones too, but, (not that it was expensive), couldn't/didn't want to 'justify' putting the money out....rather spend it on vacay anyway. We have needed a new garage door and our steps/walkway out front done for many years.....ya'd think I'd get 'em fixed. NOPE! My money is goin' toward vacay!

Are we related? We keep putting off home repairs in favor of vacations too. It's going to be bad, when our house falls down around us.

Seriously, it looks a lot better and healthier.... She donated it too, right? Like I always say, it's 'nice' to have long hair, but hair that is just hanging there and has no style and doesn't do anything, well...time to do something.... Tell her that her Mom's friend who is a professional, likes it and think she looks great!

1st, you don't like my house. Now, you don't like my hair. Geesh......




I don't just let it hang, when we go out, promise.

I've always had a 'great' idea for impressing my new neighbors when we move to FL. I'm going to put one of those plastic, pink flamingos in our yard. Can't get anymore "cheesy" than that.

You'd be surprised how many 1/2 million to million $ houses have those ridiculous plastic flamingos in their yard.

Good plan By then, I'LL be living in FL year round, and YOU'LL be out of state in the summer....I'll be able to call YOU a bird....

You could always come to NC to visit us in the summer.

There's a CLUB?!? I had no idea??

It probably could make the Guinness Book of World Records for the club with the most members.

am I to assume 'dook' is 'duke'??

Yes, it's short for a not so pleasant bodily function in slang. That's how the Tarheel nation refers to Duke.

So, 'changing' the DDP...why was that good again?

Oh, and Le Cellier...we it too! We ate there in Feb. 2007...it was awesome!! A 'little' pricey, but totally worth it (I even brought a menu home from there )

It wasn't good for the guest. I can see why the changed it though.

I think LC is a love hate thing. We've had good meals there & not so good meals, never a great meal. Incidentally, we don't like the pretzel bread or the cheese soup, which seems to be a favorite of a lot of people. To us, the steaks are usually good, but not great. I do think they're very inconsistent in quality, which would definitely account for some people loving it & others not.

OKAY!! Are you footin' the bill for all our airfare to fly to Hawaii and search for 'em??

Sounds like a good plan to me.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Oops, I forgot to say:

Happy Easter


I hope everyone has a great day! (including the Tarheels )

Nah, she won't mind at all! Mac must be getting to much sun. I'm sure she is really looking forward to coming home to all that snow.

Hi and Happy Easter to all.

Hope everyone enjoys her Easter dinner, and it proves to be some pleasant family time.

Hi Jodie! Hope you have a wonderful time with your family today. I miss having you around.

Are we related? We keep putting off home repairs in favor of vacations too. It's going to be bad, when our house falls down around us.

Same here. Vacation is much more important!

I can not stand that cheese soup everyone raves about either.

 

[Metro West]

Morning Todd. I guess I am going to try to scan some pics today. What are your plans?

Not doing much Lori. I decided not to go the parks today and will wait until tomorrow. I'll let the tourists wait in the LONG lines today.

We went whale watching in Alaska & they were everywhere. Actually, we were able to see them for the beach in Icy Strait Point. We should have skipped the tour.

Yeah...it was a huge letdown but the Hobie cat was cool.

I'm sorry....I think I need a visual pic

I couldn't do that to you.

 

[loribell]

Not doing much Lori. I decided not to go the parks today and will wait until tomorrow. I'll let the tourists wait in the LONG lines today.

I think that is a great idea!

Okay guys I scanned some Universal pics & some Hawaii pics. The Hawaii pics are now uploading to photobucket. It only took me a couple of hours! I have been working on it since I posted last this morning. I thought I had more Universal pics than what I found. Don't know where they are. As for the Hawaii pics I scanned 100 for you to enjoy. I think I probably ought to just post a link to them rather than posting them all in the thread. What do you guys think?

 

[tarheelmjfan]

Bye Guys! We're off to the airport for round 2!

Everyone have a great Easter!

Marcie must have gotten a flight out. I hope they have a wonderful vacation.

We will be attending church today with Father-in-Law. He is singing in the choir. This is first Easter without MIL who passed away in July. The church choir cantata kept him busy this winter with all the practices so that was good. MIL always hid the plastic eggs with money in them for DS. Don't know if FIL will do it this year or not. Will be a little sad today.

I'm glad he has something to occupy his time. I can't imagine being in his shoes. Enjoy your family time.

Tammy ,Lori and Barb. Thanks for the input on the DDP. I think because we are an up and go family we would not do well on the DDP. We only eat one or two TS meals all of our vacation .

In that case, the DDP definitely isn't for you. Sounds like you made a wise decision.

One more point for anyone that may want to know the new DDP is a litle confusing and would work better for my family only if we took the deluxe plan which for 5 of us is over $2,000.

If we purchased the DDP, it would be the Deluxe plan. We like Signature restaurants, & would rather not eat counter service. 2 TS meals a day would be perfect for us. That wouldn't work for a lot of people though.

Thanks. I will tell her. I noticed she has spaghetti sauce on her chin in that pic!

I thought it was a scratch. If you hadn't told us, we never would have known. I can't believe those pics were just to months apart. She definitely looks older with short hair.

If any of you are ever close enough to go see those sculptures you had better come see me too! They are less than 3 hours away. I wonder how the image of Jesus was ever decided on?

AND, IF i am anywhere NEAR where you (or another homie is), you can bet I'm coming to see ya!

In that case, none of you have an excuse for not coming to see me.

Dont know where you are going but HAPPY trip!

Happy Easter everybody. Today I will take my 2 year old out to the park or the tennessee aquarium a bit. I have a annnual pass for it.

todays weather 58 by friday 75

I'm trying to figure out which Aquarium you're referring to. I'm guessing Gatlinburg or Chattanooga. Which one is the TN Aquarium?

I'm bringing a bottle of wine for my mother, and another for everyone else. My grandmother has really given her a run for her money lately, and I think she'll need it. Off to assemble a shrimp tray. And a tray of gourmet stuffed olives. I know. What a terrible combo, right? They don't exactly complement each other, do they?

Peace & God bless your family too. Sounds like you may need it today.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

What do you guys think?

I don't care how you post them as long as you do. Was that helpful to you?
