bubba's mom is the president of that meet.

[bubba's mom]

welcome palavra .... macraven likes fresh meat

(j/k mac)

anyhow....yes, you will have a great time at UO...it's not all "thrill" like the "Disney" people are brainwashed to believe We ARE having a mini-meet....at Margaritaville, Fri., June 29th at 2:30 ...."party name" still being decided, but may be "Mickey" (easy to remember)....we have a thread going..... if you are there then, please feel free to join us!

Welcome to our thread, Palavra!


Thank you Bubba's mom,Fan2CSkr,and keishashadow,and anyone else with the tips and how much counter service is at Hershey. I do realize any theme park food is expensive. I just didn't want to buy a medium size pizza for 4 for over $30 like at Six Flags by me
It's just good to know what price ranges of food are out there in Hershey Park I do have an Entertainment coupon book I bought a couple of months back for the greater Harrisburg,PA area. It should help somewhat with the chain restaurants outside of the theme park, using those coupons. I also have coupons for the Hershey Museum and Hershey Gardens that are in the Entertainment book, in case we visit those places.

Ok, saying my goodbyes as we are leaving tomorrow morning. Be gone for a week. If I happen to have internet access(which I don't think I will), I'll try to post here a quick post during my vacay.
Also asking for prayers for a safe road trip to and from Hershey for us. Thanks!

Gonna miss you all! See you in about a week

Hi everyone! I'd like to join in too. I'm new to the boards but have spent a good deal of time reading the threads in the last month or so. My dear husband, 4 year old daughter and I will be heading the Orlando on June 22 to stay with my sister and her kids. Yeah, it's nice to have family in Orlando! We have the 7 day 2 park tickets to Universal/IOA and tickets to Sea World. We will probably do one day at the Magic Kingdom for my daughter Hannah. My husband Ron and I aren't major Disney people. In fact, I like Epcot the best out of the Disney parks. But, Hannah is in the princess phase.

We haven't been to universal before, but my sister and her kids have annual passes. They go a lot! After looking at the
pics on this site and others, I actually think my daughter is going to like Universal/IOA better than MK.

Welcome Palavra- I am the other Universal Virgin on this thread. wait a minute.....that came out weird. Mac stop laughing! i mean, we are Universal newbies. I am going in sept. we can ask alll kinds of questions and not get flamed or worse here. This is the safe place. You can talk about anything . or nothing. or just yak without a spouse or sig other yawning at you. we listen.

i am serving barbeque chichen breast and salad tonight.
anyone hungry.??????????????/

 

[yankeepenny]

okay you knew someone was gonna bring it up.
So....Paris is back in jail huh????

good grief...they told her do not drive on a suspended license.... what did she expect???

hmmm....probably for the Hilton name to work magic as celebs seem to do out in wackywood. She's a piece of work, check out mommie dearest - nut didn't fall far from the tree imo. Perhaps it's the rarified air that makes them so dim. All that money & attention evidently doesn't equal brains.

barb thanks for the link, the bus is leaving @ 9:00 a.m. tomorrow - we're passing - i will have Coach and my other DS one of his assist. on speed dial tomorrow night. Guess you gotta root for the home team jik you're not - the RiverRats need all the they can get!

I've never been to Hershey (ate alot of it though ). Drove past the exit several times on my way to visit same son when he taught/coached @ Line Mt. High School (near Shamokin Dam/Bucknell University).

Would Hershey be a 1 day or 2 day park? Almost fainted when i pricedout hotel rates last year for the summer. Where's a good, clean place to rest your head that's not 10 miles away. We hate to drive more than a few miles after we leave a park, usually zombie like by that point.

Has anyone seen Pirates? Just went to see it tonight. I found it really muddled.

i haven't seen it yet but went to wikiapedia to get the scope.

about the flashing green light thing........part of the movie was edited out in the final project. they edited out the scene where 2 characters explained it all. if i say the characters someone might get ticked for me telling it before they see it......on a disney thread about potc3, many complained how the loose ends stayed loose. then someone posted the tie in to clear up the muddled minds.

if you read the wikipedia story, it should make sense.


i always read up on the movies before i see them.

I understood the green light part. The problem was that every character seemed to have his/her own plot line and you had to keep track of them. I also had problems understanding some of the accents and lost a lot there. I felt that they added too much extra stuff and it would have been better to keep out some of the side plots.

i read over on the disney thread that you either loved it or didn't.
most said they preferred potc 2 over the potc 3.

many sub plots with characters going on and the editing for the final version left much of it in disarray i read. lots of people said they had to see it a second time and talk to others to understand it all.

and they say watch the credits for the extra ending portion. hope you did.

i'm not as gung ho on this movie now. johnny depp not in it for the first hour of the movie.......and not in all the scenes.

johnny depp made the first movie good.

Mac - you still having sleeping troubles??? It's about 11:10 here and I haven't wound down yet. Just got home about 10pm from son's baseball game. They're in tournament week and won again tonight. They play tomorrow morning at 10am. If they win, they play again at 11:30, or if they lose they're done.

It's sort of funny to see how some of the coaches and parents get so worked up even though our boys in this league are only 7 YEARS OLD!!!!!!

Only 20 more days for me and hubby until our quick trip to US/IOA!! Yay!!

-melissa

 

[macraven]

melissa that is great your son and the team are doing so well.

congrats!!


yea, still not sleeping and it is starting to take its effect on me.

but then, i can clean up my emails and subscriptions late at night when nothing is going on the threads.

20 days and counting, eh.......you will have so much fun.
are you going to be able to hit the mini UO homie meet that buba's mom has a thread about?

hope you get to meet some of the other homies.

 

[NashvilleTrio]

Ok - going to bed now - good night!

 

[macraven]

johnny depp made the first movie good.

I knew to stay for the last scene and so did about 20 others in the audience. I told my husband that we should go see it again to figure it out and he said there was no way he'd go again. He really liked the first and second movies, so that wasn't saying so much.

I thought there was plenty of Johnny Depp...in fact sometimes there was too much. It was a bit overkill. Orlando was yummy.

Oh well. It was still worth the price of admission but it was just disappointing when it could have been very good.

It wasn't very funny either. The audience rarely laughed.
