oh by all means...flip a coin. put some surprise in your life.
were going on the 2nd.
I also booked a keys to the kingdom tour for that morning...was that a good idea? has anyone ever done it? (yes, i know wrong boards, but i dont like to go over there too often)
worth the money?
i have done the keys to the kingdom for the last 4 years in a row.
i like the special pin you get.....
there are some lame tour guides for it.
brock is the best tg though. see if you can get him.
i always take the first tour of the day, the 8:30 one.
if you have the
AAA, you get a 15% discount.
if you have the disney visa card, it is 20% discount.
i'm up with the chickens and to bed with the owls each night.
it can be done of doing the tour in the morning and the
mnsshp at the same night.
i did it that way once before.
the tour is one of the better ones at mk.
your lunch will be at columbia harbor house.
it is included with the tour cost.
I think I came off wrong in my question. I have just noticed on these boards (not just the SAN thread) that few people made comments implying someone or themselves worked at the parks. But nothing was said outright. I have been on these boards since 06, but have only been here steadily for about 6months. Im sure in the 1000's of posts people have caught onto things, as I havent been here long enough. I was just asking if posters who come here are wanting others to know where they work, or just come here "undercover" just to shoot the bull and help out with questions now and then?
And yes...I feel I have been treated VERY nicely on these boards. That is why I choose to come here with ALL my questions (disney or Uni), and not the disney boards
(they bash for anything, I understand). I am glad there is somewhere to go to talk to others that share my obsession.
<----- to all who WORK at/for Universal.
yea, there are some employees that post or have posted on the sans thread.
we never bring it up when they do as they are here to have fun also.
no cliches in this thread. really there aren't.
what is nice about having a chat thread over here is we can help anyone that asks questions about the park. sometimes the poster sticks around and sometimes they don't. some have posted regularly in #1 or #2 threads and then bop back here for a "hey homie" once in awhile.
we love everyone to feel comfortable to join in at any time.
we try to make everyone feel wanted also.
i have met a few of the homies since i have been on this thread.
i have met rose 2 years ago from the chicago thread in the cb, marci and her family at six flags, todd/metro last
hhn and a couple of posters that dropped in sometime back when i was at the park before.
that is all i have met so far.
Hey guys...
Well I get a phone call today from my Aunt. My uncle and his sister were driving on one of the main parkways in Queens (NY) called the Belt Parkway. It is known to go through some sketchy areas...I took this way every day for a year when I taught in Brooklyn.
Well they were driving his BMW and he got bumped from behind by another car. Doing what we all would, he pulled off on the service road to begin the procedures for an accident.
At this time, the person or persons got out of the car and held them at gunpoint. Thankfully, they only took the keys and drive away with the car. No one hurt.
I'm still sketchy with th details because at the time my Aunt called, they were still at the police station.
My aunt is worried because she doesn't know if the car had any information about their address and such and if they took house keys as well.
Please hope that it is only the car and that will be the end of it.
But just another note....I've heard of this happening a lot to people, where they bump and then mug you or steal your car. A dent can be fixed.....but you are not as easily replaced! Please be careful out there!
that is scary.
that has happened in chgo area before. when it occurs, it's on the news.
they always say if it happens to you, don't stop......keep going.
hope your relatives are okay. that has to be extremely upsetting!
rose, no rain here not a drop last night.
heard on the news how some areas had it bad but nothing north of the city had rain.
oh, i'm not the "mom" of the thread, just a homie that got it off the ground.
i know slo calls herself the "mom" of the chgo thread and some other posters do that when they start a thread but it's not my thing.
i missed out on my day again.
tied up again with more running around on things i don't even want to do.
such is life.
i hate getting back to the dis late at night.
most of you all are sleeping...
and a very big special thank you to scotlass...........youse know i love my coffee.
and i have a bunn coffee maker just like the ones you showed.
such a sweet homie.......
donn't want to google it when you have the answer..
, must be a girl thing; glad i don't have to deal lol
. yet another example of what (hopefully) passes for wit here; not to be confused with sarcasm.
I hear it's a winner! Believe u get a quick peek @ the utilidor under MK?
make sure to post back & report
My bucket list contains the Backstage Tour
, if i hit the lottery. 
Almost like a mom to me
