It's May!!! So where are those flowers after our April showers?? Well Good Morning to all!! Hope everyone has a great day!!

 

[macraven]

Cool! Thanks again for the info Mac (and Bonny!!). With the Southwest Airline code, Seaworld is $50ish. But I will most likely do Epcot. Any opinions about the Wonder Works? My friend Chip discovered their website last night and it piqued his interests.

i did wonder works and the ripleys museum.
i think we preferred ripleys.
these are on the international drive area, across the street from the mercado if i remember correctly.

Thanks to you again! I'm alwasy a nut, unless I'm so tired I fall on the couch in a mound. Do you like coconut and chocolate? If so, you MUST try the little key lime coconut patties they sell at HRH in the HR store. They're made by Anastasia Confections in Florida. They were so good I looked up the website on the package and ordered a whole bunch of candy. They also have the best salt water taffy





Thanks again for all the birthday cheer, everyone! You people ROCK!!!!!





Poor kid, I hope he recovers okay. Tell the Tooth Fairy to stop taking the money out of YOUR wallet. What is she, a mugger?

Hope you feel better soon, Blue Eyes. May your flu bugs die quickly without any posterity.

Andy Robert, great pics.

Tricia, hope things are looking good for the kids' health and future RV sales. Are you doing a show in MS anytime this year?

Mac, it's just SOOOOOOO good to have you back.

Marcie, welcome back to you, too.

And our lovely NY Dolphin and Starfish sisters, it'll be nice to hear all about your trip. Hint-hint.

Tammie, glad Kenny is feeling better and not planning his eventual death of a brain tumor.

I can't remember who asked what the Bday plans were, but here it is in a nut shell. DH knew he'd have to work really late tonight, so we had the party on Saturday. We went to lunch at a nice restaurant and then opened presents. He went to an antique store and got me two porcelain statues, one of Blue Boy the other of Pinkie. He also got a porcelain ballerina doll that was made in 1923. I was very happy! I never would have bought anything like that for myself, but they are things I love. We had cake tonight and just relaxed after he got home from a 14 hour day. He probably fell asleep in front of the PC while doing his internet classes. I should get us both to bed.

Thanks again to everyone for the Birthday wishes, and to everyone I left out of this installment of the thread, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tamie

wow, you made a killing on your big day.
fantastic. i adore blue boy and pink lady.

in all my stays at hrh, i have never bought or stole the key lime coconut patties. i'm gonna do that this october. just hope i don't get caught... i agree on the taffy...

hey all, morning.

as usual, can't be bothered to trawl through the whole thread. it's a nicer day here today (for the moment, ) but think it may rain later.

not really any plans, but we have some friends of ours for dinner tonight. roast lamb

so your friends are dinner tonight?

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Only 2 weeks until Krustyland opens!

that's what i forgot to tell you when i said jodie called me.

she and mike went on THE SIMPSONS ride.
she said they waited for about 45 minutes and it was worth it.
now that is saying something from our jodie.
she waited in line without a beer and still said the wait was worth it for the ride......






where are my manners............Good Morning Homies.


now off to work...

That is indeed good news! Jodie will try to get FOTL for her own funeral so for her to wait on a ride is something!

Yeah...kinda sounds like Hannibal Lecter doesn't it?

 

[ky07]

Good morning Homies

i asure you, i'm not a canibal.

well maybe

 

[RVGal]

homies, this is the request brookelizabeth posted quite a few pages back.
put on your thinking caps and share the mummy dust if you will please.


i think i can pull up the old thread on what to do with a little at UO.

we did that one about 2 years ago. i'll try to search for that one.


homies, help me out here

Thanks for bringing that back up Mac. Brookelizabeth, my youngest was not quite 2 when we went to US/IOA the last time. He is tall for his age and was just barely tall enough to ride some of the rides. Your little one will be too small for the rides. I can't think of any that are baby-friendly. Having said that, there are still shows and play areas for the little ones. The Barney show and Barney's Backyard playground are the absolute best spots I've found anywhere for the under 3 crowd. If you are looking to experience lots of stuff with your 1 y/o, then you might be disappointed by the lack of rides... or you might enjoy the shows and playgrounds. I don't know what your plans are. Of course, at that age, babies are pretty much okay with doing whatever, so you can still get away with the baby swap if you guys want to ride the rides. My experience has been that when they get older than, say, 18 months, waiting around in the baby swap area is no longer fun. It is boooooring and you will hear all about it. I have a trip report buried somewhere on the boards about what we did. I can try to dig it up if you want.

Tricia, hope things are looking good for the kids' health and future RV sales. Are you doing a show in MS anytime this year?

Joshua is having some trouble adjusting to the new dose of medicine, but I'm hoping that will work out. If not, it'll be back to the drawingboard. Again.

We only do 2 shows a year and they are both in the Atlanta area. We are up in the NE corner of Georgia, so we head down to the "big city" just to get our name out to the biggest crowd possible. We're supposed to have some people coming to look this weekend at trailers for the second and/or third time. When people come back to look, it's a good sign they are ready to buy. Here's hoping.

That is indeed good news! Jodie will try to get FOTL for her own funeral so for her to wait on a ride is something!

That's only funny because it is so true!

 

[RVGal]

Morning everyone.

It is still morning, right? I'm trying to shovel out the house so that my extended family can continue to harbor the illusion that we don't live like pigs. We're hosting nephew's birthday party this Sunday and Mother's Day next Sunday. I don't get Mother's Day off. With MILs food problems, we are very limited if we try to go out to eat. If we try to see my mom and then MIL, we'll spend the whole day in the car running the kids (which is who they really want to see anyway) from house to house. It just isn't worth it, so I wind up making a big meal here and inviting everyone.

I'm also trying to fit coloring my roots into the schedule today. We'll see how that goes.

I have such an exciting life, don't I?

 

[marciemi]

Well, DH made it back. Complete with every In and Out Burger product known to mankind! I was just thinking we needed an In and Out Burger ashtray (no, we don't smoke), golf balls (okay, they golf), key chains, hats, pencils, Christmas ornaments, miniature shake containers, etc. I can just see the employee when he bought all this thinking "Guess it's true - there IS one born every minute! If you can't tell, DH is a big fan!

I kind of agree on taking a real little one to Universal (or Disney for that matter). They can have a good time there, but they also can have a good time in your back yard, so you're really not doing it for them. The Barney play area, Fievel's, Woody Woodpecker-land, etc., will all be places they can have fun, but really won't be any more exciting for them than your local park (or to you). You can parent swap, but that's not much fun riding alone. Best case would be to have someone else along to take turns parent swapping with so you're not always the single rider.

I would think at 1 they could do the Seuss rides (another fun play area), am I wrong on that? Thought I saw some real little kids on those, but my kids are too big - all kids look little to me these days!

Happy May all!

Daniel was barely, and I mean *barely* tall enough to ride Cat in the Hat or the Trolley in the Sky. Both of those rides require that the child sit independantly next to you, no lap sitting, which wouldn't work for a baby. One Fish Two Fish is a bench seat (just like Dumbo), but they still have to sit next to you. The Caro-seuss-el would be okay, I guess. Just like any other carousel, however, you'd wind up standing next to them to hold them on. Do they let you do that there? We didn't take Daniel on that. Joshua & I did it while Daniel was napping. There is another great playground (If I Ran The Zoo) there with both wet and dry play areas.

Vacationing with a baby is different, but it can still be fun. I always joked that the boys were probably thinking, "We can do this for a few days. New sights, new sounds, lots of colors and movement. Mommy & Daddy are here, so it must be okay."

My boys loved the baby swap areas when they were really babies. A nice room to crawl or toddle around in with Mommy and/or Daddy... what's not to love? But, like I said before, once they get old enough to want some entertainment, the baby swap didn't work for us anymore.

 

[bubba's mom]

Mornin'.....

Blowin' by to say HI and Happy May!!!

Woohoo Jodie


I can FINALLY say "next month" is vacation

Off to work....HELLO to everyone & have good day all!!!

One of the most time consuming, common question that we get on our board is about the characters. What characters are out in the parks... when/where will they be... do they sign autographs... etc.

At least it is time consuming for me to try and remember who all I saw on our last trip.

Why don't we make a thread strictly for a character list? Pics, where to find them, if they sign/stamp, if they are regularly out or rare, whatever.

What do youse guys think?

 

[blueeyesrnc]

Well unfortunately that seems to come with being a part of this great group. We just keep passing it around the internet. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Thanks so much, and thanks to all for wishing me well. I feel much better now. I was so sick I couldn't take my DD9 to school. Had to bother my poor Mom. Thank God for her.

Thank you mac! I look forward to your responses-and I will check out the hotels across the street. That would be ideal! Then we can even walk.


I guess I'll fit right in!

Thank you again to all of you for your very warm welcome. Blue, you sent me to a good place!

Anything for a fellow Wildbuncher...This is a great place. I knew they would be more than happy to help you out.

sending you mummy dust to get over the flu.
it is no fun being a mom and busy with everyday life to have the flu and feel icky.

i was about to do the MIA listing on you homie.

and brookelizabeth is a sweetie.
she needs some advice and i will pull up that post of hers in case others have not seen it. sometimes our post requests get pushed aside when many pages are past it .

everyone is welcomed here.

we haven't seen princess di aka R2D2 aka something else which has slipped my mind right now....oops..

last i heard from her she had a tragedy in her family.
i wish her well and hope she comes back to play with us very soon.
kick her in the butt and tell her to drop back in.





janet, i loved your land shark.........





speedy gonzalez marcie.............i bet if you and i did something together, we wouldn't be late for it, eh...........

i never buy a red car. it's too obvious when i am speeding down the highway.


oh and st L...........don't let son suck on a straw like the other homies told you.

it can cause a dry socket. that is very painful.
you don't want that to happen.

Thanks, Mac. You are so kind. Please don't count me MIA. If I don't drop by for a while, it's because I've been working 60+ hours a week. I just don't have the time to post as often as I would like. Being a single mom and working all these hours is pretty tough. Never enough time. Never enough time...

I've done SeaWorld before. But that was way before Kraken or JTA were open. I'm leaning more towards Epcot so I can get my Disney fix in, and do Mission:Space, which I haven't done, same with the World Showcase (Epcot is the rest of my family's least favorite park).

Loved your pics. Too, cute. My two cents votes for Epcot. Mission Space and Soarin are two good reasons, but the food, man, the food is reason enough...Corral Reef, Le Cellier, Rose and Crown, Le Chefs de France, Tutto Italia, Bisto de Paris, Restaurant Marrakesh, and so many more.

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Only 2 weeks until Krustyland opens!

What is Krusyland?

That's only funny because it is so true!

Not unusual to have some adjustment to the new meds. The docs may have to adjust the dosage a few times before they get it right. Also, as he gets older there may need to be some adjustment to the meds. Hang in there, girl. You are closer now than ever, to having this resolved. If you haven't done this already, you might consider researching his condition on the web. Epilepsy has been researched for a long time. I'll bet my last dollar that there are some great web sites about this. My daughter has ADD, and besides buying many books on the subject, I also found some very infomative websites. This really helped me out a lot.
