Something About Nothing...........#8

Good morning homies!

Congrats to mac & Scotlass for another year of wedded bliss.

I've officially been converted to the darkside, we're getting APs on our next trip. Which one is the best overall for value & perks? Is the premium AP worth it or should I just go with the preferred? I'm getting one either preferred or premium and the kids are getting power passes.

That depends how often you plan to go. There's only a few extra perks w/ the premier. Premier gives you a 20% discount on food & shopping vs 10% w/ preferred. After 4pm you get unlimited fotl w/ premier and some bottles of water too I think.

I know there are some extra benefits but can't remember them all since we only have preferred.

Just watch the blackout dates w/ the Power...usually busy/peak times are blacked out.

Soooo....what convinced you to convert?

goody, another darkside convert....

just buy one preferred ap and the power passes for the kids.
you only need one for the benefits.
preferred will give you free parking and the discounts brab stated above.

it also gives you a discount for the special event tickets.


the premier has gone up in price and has changed the usage of the express lines for rides now.

there is a thread i read in this forum about it.

apparently, UO maybe changing the after 4 pm usage to the express lines, to a once only per day benefit per ride.

ah, amour es in ze air

Youse guys, of course.

Really it was a no brainer to get an AP since we're planning on a Sept trip and the hotel savings alone made it worth it. I think the preferred pass is best since it's renewable at a cheaper rate (for the time being at least).

Hey homies I'm back from a 3 day stay at RPR.Did I miss much?Guess I need to do some reading to see what I missed.

As far as the trip,it was awesome as usaul!!
Very low wait times at all the rides.We got lucky,DW did RRR 3times in a 1/2hour.Crazy I know.The wait times was only 5MIN at 11am.

The only downfall's to the whole trip was for my son for one.He has a bone spur on his heel that pooped up at of nowhere,so we gotta wheelchair for him before we left from a friend.Let me tell ya US is not very wheelchair friendly AT ALL,much less the people.So I did what anyother father thats pushing his son around,we made our own path.I do apoligize about that one man that decided he was not gonna move for nothing,wheelchair included,I told my son put your foot in a safe place it's gonna get rough.Well that guy got it in the shin.He started cursing in a languege I think was German.I just smiled and walked on!!!

The other one was at CW's Hart&Huntingtons tatto shop.MY DS wanted to look at the artwork and I just gotta a beer from Cigarz.So I wheeled him in there and this PUNK that worked there told me no wheelchairs or alcahol beverages aloud.I asked him what kinda rule is that and he said mine.WELL I took the high rode and just told him by hand that he was #1!!!!
I will never step foot in that place again.I should complain to someone,but whatever.I,m not getting inked and if my DS decides to I know he won't go there.There loss.But I realy wished he said something back to me.......

Welcome back Mr Duck! I can't believe that guy in the tattoo shop...some people are just too rude to live. I'm glad you had fun otherwise.

guess they never heard of ADA

sorry DS got the bum's rush. we had opposite experience when my youngest was in transport chair one trip. GS went out of their way to explain things, offered a family room for cool down wait time (which we didn't need as it was winter trip).

TGIF

2 hr delay today...but only one extra hour for me--I'm organizing a Bob Evan's fundraiser and the manager called me at 7:30 am... so much for the extra sleep

Happy trash day!

And I forgot to tell you that when my DD16 went to her private lessons at the orchestra teacher she did a better job than DH as to my son being humiliated in front of his peers at his last middle school concert...the teacher said he never saw it that way and he felt bad now...he should...

 

[macraven]

good friday morning homies !!

minnie pooh, that is good news about your daughter.
good luck with the fund raiser


Double D, aka donald, welcome back home !!

you were missed.

i am surprised on the bad way you were treated.
really, send an email to guest services about it.


for me, i got up at 9:55 this morning.
i'm still on my first pot of coffee sitting here in my jammies.

Well homies...I'm playing hotel roulette again. Since we're getting APs and the only reason for our May trip was to visit HP World and soft openings are looking doubtful for the week we had reservations (May19-24)....I decided to book RPR with an AP rate May 26-29...this saves us $458 and gives us more of a chance to catch a soft opening....and even if we don't see HP it saves $ we can use to buy our APs. There's still too much up in the air to spend that much cash on the off chance it will be open. If we hear about softs before time to cancel HRH, we can still keep that reservation...this uncertainty is killing my pre-vacation buzz.

sounds like a plan.

go fish or old maid?

 

[schumigirl]

Donald.......that was just awful the way that guy treated you and your son in that place. What is the matter with some people!! I`m a big believer in Karma though. Glad you had a nice trip despite that event.

Well I now have 2 weeks left of working........as I decided to quit my job last week

There have been a few reasons, but after spending a week with my mum in Scotland over easter I realised just how much I miss her. We`re very close and she lives 4 hours away so working kind of curtails my visiting times. Especially as I need to use 12 days holidays just for Florida. I have a sister and 2 brothers who live close by her so it`s not that she is on her own, but I don`t get to see her enough. Before I went back to work I would travel see her every 2 months, but this last year I have only seen her twice and that`s just not enough.
Tom`s been wonderful as usual and said as long as I`m happy do what suits me

So counting down to 14th May when I finish

More time to myself to Unfortunately more time to do

 

[macraven]

schumigirl, you made the right choice.

family comes first.


you will enjoy your time with your mum more now.

Hey homies wuz up?

Congrats mac and Scotlass on your anniversary's.DW and I been married for 21 great years and it seems it gets better every year...

As far as the tattoo dude,I figure if I e-mailed a complaint it would fall on deaf ears.schumigirl (Carol) and I think the same,Karma is a B****!!!!

On a lighter note,work backed up so much in the 3 days I was gone.This is a good thing.I gotta work tomorrow and booked up till Thursday so far! I need to go on vacations more often.....
