Something About Nothing..........# 9

[Mad Hattered]

this time i waited it out and didn't give up.

the dis has been soooooooooooo s.l.o.w. the past two days.

since i had to wait so long to post, i forgot what i originally was gonna say.

OMG! I sooooooooooo agree with that statement. I started to think it was my computer but it does it both at work and at home. It's frustrating as hell! I was going to start a thread about it to see if it was just me or if everyone else was having the same problem, but I didn't know where to post it.

ok, it has only taken me a 5 minute wait to get this quote box to appear......


during the evenings after 10 cst, a message at the top of the board states the Dis will be going down throughout different times over the next week/days.
something about changing something and they go dark for it.

the second time last night around midnight, it stated it will be done one hour.
well, i was up and the dis was not back on after that first hour........



i tell you, it takes too long to get a page to load...
i'm talking 10 minutes earlier today to do that first post here.

there have a few times during the day during the weekend and monday that i get the message: server busy try again later.

it really irked me when i was on the something thread here trying to respond to a previous post.
of course, i lost the entire post i had.........


i started playing card games while i wait for the dis to load.....

Well now it's zipping right along! I also was giving up on it and wondering if it was just me but saw people complaining on the Disneyland forum so figured it must be the DIS!

Had a good birthday - brought in a cake to celebrate (my coworker loves Cookie Cakes so it was a good excuse to have one) but my boss also brought in a huge chocolate cake. Since there are a total of 3 of us in the office, well, we had a lot of cake! (Still do!).

Off to the Y to go work off some of that cake!

Well homies it looks like our vacation to the darkside is back on but our budget is so tight we have to stay offsite and at a hotel we have never been to but in a area we know well so it should be ok and its for only 5 days but atleast we get to go

 

[keishashadow]

more birthdays cool beans! eat, drink & be merry. So glad mac remembers, my brain is faulty

stL - it'll all work out

DD - actually i thought the scrolling tag was new, well duh to me. avatar is nifty though.

MH - nope, that the further south i've ventured. I don't know anybody who has done that itinerary/activities in port, will pick ur brain once i find some likely activities. We like to 'do' something vs drinking in cool barz, although we try to work that in before we head back to ship. Snorkeling among the pitons is #1 on the list. Also have afternoon before & the whole day of, in Old San Juan. We're big history buffs, so we'll follow the frommers itinerary. Believe there's a cave/boat that sounds cool & was thinking boating over to St John vs St Thomas crowds.

Managed to snag cheap Cirque Love tix today for Vegasand booked 1st limo ride ever, no sense waiting until i'm in a box.

i am so happy that the trip is back on!!!

spend the day at the parks until it closes.

get up early each morning and repeat.


sleep is highly overrated when on vacation.
you can always sleep on the plane.




since it is a 5 day off site, does this mean your son is joining you this time?






keisha, only 2 more wake ups till you reach Sin City.
i know it is 3 days out but no one sleeps the night before the trip...







Marcie, i didn't make it to your house on the 30th.
just put my piece of bday cake in the freezer and i'll pick it up when spring arrives........







the dis is still slow for me now...

No son wants to stay home and had to budget due to DW wanting some money for a few things now

Yeah, we save the bars for the way back on the boat for sure. There is too much to do out there and plenty of time for drinking on the boat! We flew into San Juan 2 days before our cruise and rented a van to do our own thing. We did the rainforest tour and it was really cool. Nice hiking through the jungle with some cool waterfalls and whatnot. I highly suggest doing that if you are into it. You drive WAY up into the hills and have some great views of the valleys. We chartered a boat from St Thomas over to St John on our stop there. It was a blast. It was just the four of us and the captain. He made us all lunch and got to snorkel in a great spot full of sea life. You will have a wonderful time!!!!

Speaking of Cirque....we are FINALLY seeing our Cirque Michael Jackson show next Tuesday. We bought the tickets around 8-9 months ago and it's finally here! HEE HEE

We will be staying at the Bestwestern Universal Inn and checked on trip advisor and it had mixed reviews but atleast we will be in Orlando and to DW thats all that counts and she wishes we were there now

So glad to hear your trip is back on


Vicki, we arrive on Wed 11th July till Sat 28th.........thinking about a day in Seaworld this year. Never been, not quite sure why. But we have 14 day unlimited but consecutive US/IOA tickets so don`t want to activate them till the Saturday so we have 2 days to fill up and don`t fancy Disney in July. So we`ll have a think and see what we fancy.

Keisha......in case I can`t log on again before you go......have a fantastic time on your trip


I haven`t been able to get on this site at all since last night, but just tried a few minutes ago and got on in seconds

Freezing cold here, our heating is up very high........Tom just suggested a smallish JD just to heat us up from the inside

Nearly the weekend

Never stayed there,but drove by it.Looks nice and its only about a mile or so from CW.You plan on walking that,or do they have a free shuttle service?

 

[keishashadow]

hey allducking in between filing tax returns...don't these people realize i need to pack?

Carole - we skipped SW until a few years ago (will I date myself if i say i visited in the late 70's but so much has changed). We absolutely fell in love, such a nice relaxing park and change of pace. ps it's even better if you snag those $199 Discovery cove tix that include choice of park.

MH - wow, you've been waiting forever to see MJ show. my SIL grabbed tix for the PIT show.

check out orlando hotels and do a search for the name of that hotel (ky) on the darkside. someone posted about that place within the past month.

 

[macraven]

[Mikkimús]

Im alive, thank you all for your kind words.
The school will work out, we will have 2 class we can "skip" or be sick but if we "skip" more we will fail the class so i wont dare to be sick, i´ll just show up with my iron iv that i´ve had 3 times since i came home from the hospital
My body is weird im either really healthy or i end up in a hospital, its all or nothing no just getting cold
But im home and feeling fine.
Im so envious of all of you that have a trip planned, i just sit at home trying not to plan a trip over a year from now :S

Yes they have a shuttle but it has mixed reviews too cause some say the shuttle was good and others say it is a small bus they use but either way we will have fun
