What - are we the only ones who carry food?

we did carry some last year...but that got old quick! i said "forget it...we're on vacation! let's splurge!" so, i save money ALL year for this ONE week to do just that

(but we do a grocery stop on the way and eat breakfast in our room)

We do it more to occupy the kids in line and while waiting for shows. If everyone has a fanny pack full of fun junk food, then they a) graze on it so they aren't whining about being hungry or wanting to spend money on junk and b) aren't poking, teasing or generally annoying their brothers at that exact second! I hate buying snacks because the kids never can agree or share and it gets expensive to buy 3 of everything plus I just hate standing in those lines if I can avoid it (especially if it involves standing in THREE different lines to get everyone what they want!). Since we're renting a house, we really plan to do most meals there, but want to get folks through a long morning (during our WDW days) without paying a fortune. We may actually not carry as much as Universal since we will probably go back to the hotel for breaks a bit more.

Morning! Woke up at 3am. Had a heart to heart with the man upstairs...got to sleep till 5!

I have this "talent" to actually work and pay attention to the show at the same time. It really gets on DH's nerves when I'm doing a crossword or reading the paper when we are supposed to be watching a movie!

marciemi - I quite understand about you bringing your food....I wish more parents would do that! It would make everyone elses time in the lines more enjoyable too!

penny - I don't blame you at all about the quite dinner. Kind of like my DH loves buffets, but I can't stand them. I hate having to get up, bumping into people to get my food. The food courts in the morning are fine at DW - maybe because I'm rearing to go, but dinner is a little different. And in case you haven't noticed - We are all nerdy dorks!

i ate at WCC last year and i will never go there again. i usually will try a place 3 times before i scratch it off my list, this time i made an exception.

wcc is history for me.

got to leave, going to work.
see you when the skool bell rings.

It's Friday

I recently switched to a bagallini, due to family hiding my fanny pack - repeatedly. Last one i had was from High Sierra, had tons of pockets; etc.; could convert it to a backpack/shoulder bag; but the thing weighed a ton - empty .

@ U think i may just use the thing I wear around my neck @ airport to go thru security that holds boarding passes, passport, etc - made by american express (sold @ JC Penny & Kmart). What i like is you can wear it either open or closed.

Anyone know if you can get your room key punched to be affixed to a lanyard (or for that matter bring said punching device & do it yourself)? I always get stuck holding family's cards for FOTL; wish they could just securely hang onto them theirselves. Assume if you punch it in the upper corner, away from magnetic strip, it'd still work as key card/CC?

VWL is my home all .00000000001 % of it lol; have to admit we've never subjected ourselves to WC . See enough kids running wild in the parks, don't want to see it @ dinnner...call me Mrs. Grinch -- plus, i like catsup...lots of it; straws too.

[tikkipoo]

I'm going to Florida this weekend! I am a wreck. Always am until I get in the airport and see the plane.

I totally agree! We did fanny packs on the kids even when they were 4 and 5 at disney. It was great , they all had their little fish crackers, rice krispy treats and bottle of water and juice. This was years ago...like the advent of the fanny pack years....and people were in awe of the little kids carrying all their own stuff (and I didnt have to lug it all around). But at Universal, I carry nothing. Thats why I like pockets. Wont take anything if it doesnt fit in pockets.

And Keishashadow, I have seen people with the keys punched on lanyards, so I am sure they will do it. Just make sure everyone sticks them in their shirt on the rollercoasters.

 

[tikkipoo]

Well, I just did my first 24 hour check in with my flight! Pretty easy! Hope I did it right.

 

[yankeepenny]

good friday evening all!

spaghetti anyone??????????

 

[macraven]

keisha, you can punch the hole in the key card. just don't do it near the bar scan at the bottom.

tikkipoo....don't you love the countdown before taking off....24 hours and counting.


well, i told you about my great plans to celebrate the anniversary and it is all down the drain now. $90 tickets for art garfunkle and dinner ressie down the tube. mr mac is sick.

so, nothing happening at home for me.
think i will go to the blue resturant for the turtle sundae made with chocolate custard not the vanilla that usually makes me happy.


so many homies here are getting ready to go to the darkside.
i'll be throwing tons of mummy dust your way for a swell time!!







pass the spaghetti to me. that sounds good right now.

 

[tikkipoo]

Spaghetti sounds great! I had soup bean for dinner. Flight should be fun tomorrow!

I am so wound up right now I don't know what to do with myself. Thinking it is bath time. House comes on at 8pm...I have plenty of time.

I am all packed up and ready to go. We will be taking off from the house around 10:30am! I'm sure I will check in before I leave....probably around the butt crack of dawn again.

mac - the funniest thing happened today. I was watching TV and a commerical came on. I don't know what it was about, or what is was for, I just remeber it had big on the screen "HOME IS..." And all I saw was HOMIES and thought of you! Sorry you missed your big night out! That totally stinks. Bet the concert would have been great! Home Mr Mac gets to feeling better.

 

[keishashadow]

Poor mac, poor mr. mac too

got meatballs? I'm on an asiago cheese kick (leftover huge block from Sams club lol) - everything goes better with cheese

thanks for the key card info, wonder if i can slip thru TSA with it...naw; better pack it in carry on.

bubbasmom - sounds like a massive undertaking, may the force be with you!

tootle-loo to those off to FLA-enjoy, don't forget to write (or bring back pics).

 

[macraven]

keisha, it would be sooooo kewl if you lived in springfield and not springdale
or whatever city that is in your siggie

there was a contest for all the springfields in the country in the simpsons contest. wonder which state won? i was hoping for illinois cause they always suck at everything.




yea, i am bummed.
i went upstairs to tell mr mac i was hungry and was going to go thru a drive thru but he is asleep again.
don't want to leave when his temp is this high.
