If you haven't seen last soprano episode, dont read this.

My take on Sopranos. After thinking my husband leaned on the clicker and paused the show. (blamed his butt badly!) the credits rolled and it hit me. At first I was like what the heck?!?! Then after it ended and I had time to think about it I realized this is how the show has gone from its inception. The series has been ambiguous since its start. It was fitting that the ending was as well. Tony walked into the diner picked a song on the jukebox (dont stop believing, Journey) pretty appropriate. He reflected as each family member walked in. In between that happening they panned to shady characters entering and sitting n the diner. Any one of them at any moment could wipe the family out and honestly that's what I was waiting for but in the end I am so happy that didn't happen.

So the entire family is finally there and its a normal scene as Journey plays, Don't stop...and the screen goes black. Anything could have happened at that moment or in the moments quickly approaching or they just had a normal family meal. You decide. I liked it! It worked for me. I'm positive I'm in the minority.

Thinking about eliminating AK day & going to SeaWorld; anyone go lately (my last trip was in the late '70's lol) - will a 14 year old boy be bored outta his gourd? He did like the zoo more than I thought he would.

Have you been to AK since EE opened? If not I would do AK instead of SW. We are going to go to SW this year though for the first time in 8 or 9 years. We have never taken DD-8 and she loves animals. She has specifically asked to do SW. But we aren't leaving out AK to do it.

To all of our newbies since I have last posted WELCOME!!!!

Sorry I have been MIA. Life has just been way to busy. My trip is all messed up yet again. Even my 8 yo asked the resst of the family why mommy was still planning when the trip is so close! They decided yesterday that they want to come in 3 days earlier! I now have to call to see what I can do about rooms yet again. We also weren't really planning on doing much of anything other then relaxing those extra days they are now planning on being there. UGH!

I have found the cord so that I can upload the rattle snake hunt pics. I will try to get that done in the next couple of days.

Let's just say that the 2nd to last episode was WAY better than the final piece of garbage they put out! David Chase should be ashamed of himself. I can sum it up by saying it ended with the focus being on parallel parking and onion rings. Yep. Parking and onion rings! David Chase is sitting at home laughing at all the people who were looking forward to the finale, which was arguably one of the worst finales ever. EVER!!!!! When I say that it sucked, I am being very polite.

As always, JMHO!

I absolutely agree. DH and I just sat there staring at each other when it was over. It almost makes me mad I started watching 8 years ago just to have it end like that.

 

[macraven]

well loribell, when are you leaving for your trip?
you have been missed here.


i have done AK each time i have been at disney.
i only do a select number of rides and shows there and then i am done with it.

but, i prefer AK over SW. just my preference.

I'm pretty sure there is. I bought one years ago in one of the stores in Port of Entry.. We usually play it in the car on the way down. Come to think of it, I should go find it now!

This is a website that has sold the soundtrack in the past - have a look.

You can also get the track list and search out the songs on napster or similar and make your own CD. They sell it at the gift shops in the parks too.

i just read that link on another board.
they are finally doing what the UO hotels do. you pay per season and day rate. this hasn't kept people away from booking at the on site hotels but i think that disney will have some empty rooms next year.



i can see the threads popping up soon over at the cb.........



for some reason the link did not work.
this is what i read and the link inside the post does work.

yep...I'm sure there will be an uproar about that.....thanks for the info....i usually don't have time to check out CB

 

[keishashadow]

mac - very interesting (in a bad sorta way), sorta puts the screws to those of us who look for reasonable lodging on the weekends. They weren't more for my dates this summer but, seem to recall that Loews used to have higher rates on weekends???or am i trippin? OT WDW is way overdue to raise their tix prices. Hope they wait until the end of the month, i need to add non-expiration & WPs to ones i bought thru UT,

thanks to all who posted as to SW vs AK . I really like EE (have ridden it on 2 diff. trips several times - thank goodness for EE & FPs) did want to see the nemo puppet show that we just missed last year. The Safari is very IMO too. Like the nature trails,etc. Few more rides & we're usually headed out to car by 2:00 p.m. Really irks me that Tusker House is going to a charactar TS buffet - one of the few CS you could get a real meal with a green vegetable .

yankeepenny - we're just going to sneak a day in before we head to U in June. I barely remember it, visited the Ohio one more times than I can count before Six Flaggs scaled it back & Cedar Faire eliminated it entirely. I enjoy zoos, etc. Nice break from non-stop riding. Just wondering how hot it gets, don't remember much in the way of shade. Will have to drag out the guidebooks. We'll probably just go w/the Southwest deal (less than $52 pp/when you show your rapid rewards card).

Fan2CSkr - i almost choked when i read the part about your DH i said the same thing to mine.

barb - i wish everyone would post more pics! Didn't that park win some award for best park food?

 

[marciemi]

Just a quick drive-by here before I have to go (gasp!) unpack. Just a couple pics for you guys. We had a great time. The weather was a bit cool and breezy the first day, and the lake probably dethawed (in northern Michigan) a week ago! Luckily, we stopped by a church rummage sale in the area and got 2 wetsuits for $15 total! Wore them the whole time, which made the swimming much more comfortable! First pic is of my son with his snorkel gear on:

Next are him and I in our wetsuits. Don't we look like the Incredibles?

And Grandma and I. Guess she comes from hardier stock!

DS13 caught a couple big (for him at least) walleyes - I was stuck babysitting the dog while everyone else went out! The weather was nice yesterday and today. Hopefully I can find some dog and fish pics later - these were all that were on my new digital camcorder that I was testing out. I know the fish ones are on my cell phone at least! Catch you guys later!

keisha, the new program for disney is for 2008 ressies.
but starting later this month, people can book for 2008 and disney's computer will book at the day rate then for next year.

you are correct in hrh, the prices when i go are upped on the weekends.

[keishashadow]

marci - pics; you look grrreat (cold but, great ). 1st time i struggled into a wet a suit @ an intro to scuba program; the instructor looked at me & proclaimed me "a real sport" I felt like a snausage.

ps looks like good genes run in your family, your mom rocks!

marci...great pix!!! your Mom IS a trooper...any water below 85 degrees does not even touch my toes! you look fab and look like you're having a blast!!! can't wait to hear more........
