:eek:Ok so we were planning a trip to either WDW or USF in January for our anniversary ... after USF announced the closing of Jaws Hubby says he never wants to go back to USF again !! :eek:

Now I dont want to go back to WDW I was just there in Aug . So we are looking into Vegas now !! Anyone have a great hotel to stay in ... CLEAN is the most important !! We really want a nice place after all it is for our 20th anniversary !! Any help is great guys !!

I am exhausted between working everyday with a very diffucult child at :teacher:school then coming home to my own and dealing with :santa:Christmas I really need this trip !! LOL :thumbsup2

that is something that doesn't make sense to me.
i just don't get it.


a person refuses to go to a theme park because a ride closed????


i mean, how many times can you do that ride...
do you get on it and off and on again the entire day.
and only do that one ride for park opening to closing??
are you going to a park to just only ride one ride the entire day or trip?

i read a thread where peeps were saying they will never return to disney due to the change of an attraction.
then i read on the uo side, peeps wanting to do a petition for jaws.

with jaws closing, new stuff will come.
i'm sure you heard what that new stuff will be.

i for one will not say i will stay away from UO due to parry hotter blooming at the studios..
i'll do it and will find it fun.


you have options on your next trip
sounds like you will do the anniversary trip in vegas.
glad that you have a choice you both want to do.

can't help you on vegas as i have not been there.
if you contact a travel agent, i'm sure you'll get loads of brochures and ideas.

that is what i did prior to planning my first orlando trips.
i worked with a travel agent and then planned my own trip.

just think of all the fun you will have planning your trip out west!





 
DW demands that I post this picture here.She calls it The Irish and The Hound[/B]

Her name is Mia(like momma mia).8yr old golden-pit mix.She just got back from the vet that day and would not leave my side for hrs.She only wieghs 80LBS
 

morning all

thanks tinker :woohoo:to the mr, he's smrt:thumbsup2. one of my buds is a software engineer. she's tried to explain to me what she actually does, waaay over my head lol

i've never done a pole, being shy and all, but i'd be happy to take homie pics for posterity:laughing:


But Janet, the pole dance needs you! How about if you stand closeby and play a tambourine all sexy-like?

Thanks from DH! My DH is so super smart he started advanced programming when he was 12. That was back in the day when all home computers had to be BUILT, not taken out of the box and plugged in. He does industrial automation now and just needed the diploma to have one. The coolest thing about him is his humility. I have to brag for him because he never will. :lmao:



Good morning :wave:

Congrats to your hubby tink, that's awesome. I can barely figure out how to post pics on my computer and I'm in awe of anyone who understands programming.


Thanks, Tink! I'm right there with you. Technology and I don't really get along very well. DH walks into a room and things just fix themselves.


I just paid for my NYE tickets to CityWalk so now there's no going back :woohoo: $325 for three tickets...nonrefundable. I ordered the tickets early because I thought that Universal would mail them, but I had to print at home. I guess they save $ that way but... call me old fashioned, I like real tickets. I also ordered two of the new gift cards for the kids so I can put that under the tree for Christmas.


That's how they do all of their pre-paid stuff now. We even had to print a form off for our Blue Man Group tickets.



tink tude, CONGRATS to your hubby on earning his degree.
does this mean he now is no longer going to be on dish duty at your house?


go out and celebrate this big event.
it only happens once in a lifetime.



Actually, I was always on dish duty so he'd have time to work full-time and do school work full-time after he got home from work. We've both REALLY been looking forward to the end of his classes! We had our own little party and are planning a dinner out with a good friend. Sushi and Thai food!

You're invited, if you want to drive on down. Or fly. Columbus takes little tiny commuter jets in their airport.

Oh, sweet Mia! You know I'm a sucker for the pups.


Tinker - sounds like you had more of a personal trainer than a physical therapist! :scared:


I think it's just our podunk town. We have 6-7 different therapy clinics, and I keep hearing bad things about all of them. My friend and I didn't have the same therapist or go at the same times, but we had the same experience. Medicine here is a joke.
 
tink - hmmm, i could channel stevie nicks:idea:then DH would think me perfect lol. when i was researching our trip, found out they routinely offer pole dancing classes in vegas hotels.

after seeing that pic my ma would declare donald a good son of the sod, high compliment for the irish among us. Pooch is sweet but I ask where's the pint?;)

mac raises a valid point re one attraction not 'making' a park. I'm not a fan of it but change usually does keeps things fresh. It will drive attendance up, increase revenue and result in bigger and better things in the parks as long as comcast continues to reinvest their recent deluge of profits.

What's new in everyone's neck of the woods?? ... still haven't started my Christmas shopping yet :confused3 not sure what I'm waiting for :laughing:

Hubby and I are discussing adopting another dog ... a friend who breeds Siberian Huskies contacted us about one of her pups. She knows we recently said goodbye to 2 of our fur kids and they've discovered this puppy (who is 6 months old) has cataracts beginning to form in his eye. Since cataracts are a hereditary defect in the Siberian Husky he won't be allowed to be used in a breeding program and therefore she wants to place him in a good home as a loving pet/companion. We were very flattered that she thought of us as her Huskies are world renowned champions.

There are pros and cons for us adopting him:
1) our remaining shepherd (who is 10 now) seems lost without another dog around, however she definitely enjoys the attention she is getting as being the only dog.
2) my Mom, who just turned 79, takes care the the critters for us when we're away ... When we had all 3 dogs, it was a little much for her (keeping in mind Strider was a larger than average Shepherd, and Bailey had her old age ailments)
3) we now have 1 cat and 2 kittens (well they're really small cats now LOL) - they get along fine with Dawnie our remaining shepherd, but how will they get along with the new addition?
4) because this pup has the same coloring as my Bailey, would it be to painful for me? Just so you can see what I mean - here are pictures of the pup Tanner (on the left) and Bailey (on the right)

Tanner is a gorgeous dog, and we really don't have any reservations about his cataracts (juvenile cataracts are different than old age cataracts), I guess I'm just not sure :confused: I'm confuzzled

HE is over reacting right now !! I am sure we will be back but JAWS has always been his favorite movie and ride since forever !! It saddens him that they are closing it and I see his point last trip we were there we waited 30 min to ride with the EXPRESS !! the line was always long and the ride was always packed with visitors .. He doesnt understand the need for a "new and exciting ride" when visitors enjoyed the old Guess it goes with the old saying sometimes you dont fix what aint broke !! LOL

Yeah Vegas it is .. I wanted WDW but not going to happen !! LOL

Tell your DH that I feel the EXACT same way as he does and completely agree with his way of thinking right now. I've been a HUGE fan since seeing it at the drive in with my parents in 1975. This was my Halloween costume in 1976

I'm not even a Potter fan (the wife is a big one) so I could really give a rat's *** about an addition. It too will pass and then they will have a giant castle and London set to work with. :rolleyes1

I'd say go for it, but I'm not know for my sound advice. But every pup needs a good home.


So.......it looks like due to Frank's work......I'll be moving to Orlando. :rolleyes1

Duh! You really need to get that puppy! The kitties and puppies will deal with each other just fine. It may take some time but it will all work out. We had 2 dogs for 10 years and THEN introduced 2 cats to the mix. They were big shephard mixes, and to be honest, the kitties put THEM in their place! :thumbsup2
 
Andy u said u weren't going back to Orlando for awhile:laughing:, exciting news! did u tell ur mom yet?;)

bonny i had a husky (along with eskimo spitz, many keeshonds & current schipperke). Do some research on the breed. They are loveable can be socialized to current household but they need alot of exercise everyday or they'll drive u mad pacing. Can't blame them, it's what they were bred to do kwim? Be prepared to take lots of long walks. We wound up putting in a large run with a 6 foot high fence. my murky:goodvibes managed to climb it like a cat & go for a romp one day. We had to fence in the top to keep her secure, they tend to be runners if they get loose. good luck in your decision.

I am a regular traveler to vegas. You might want to go to vegas.com and check out specifications hotels/casinos offer thru that site. Most hotels/casinos close and refurbish pools for months- and most are not open before May 1st.
IF you are planning on bringing children with you, you might want to be aware of the laws about kids in the casinos. Parent must be with them at all times walking thru casino to another venue, and cannot be left unattended, no matter what age the kids are.
I can tell you from what I have seen, kids wandering for a moment will bring you trouble and the law- just letting you know to be carefull.
Unless you are aged 21 with a valid ID, they really actually dont want you there. Again, just cautioning.
 
oh yeah- before I forget-
Think about the size of the Jaws/Amityville attraction.

It would be the right size for a hobbit shire........:rolleyes1
OR


Xavier's mansion where the xmen train.............:rolleyes1


OR

Sherlock Holmes' place in London........:rolleyes1


OR


A real swamp within a real swamp for Shrek......:rolleyes1

OR

the HP addition.............:rolleyes1
