Tagless Dis'ers / Formerly Tagless Dis'ers UNITE! - Part II

[SadieDog]

Good morning.

Today is my brothers housewarming and I feel like crap. My head and sinuses are so full. Hopefully it will clear up some after the neti pot and some meds. I have so much to do. I better get some coffee. COFFEE!

GOOD MORNING!!​

​

I hope you all have a great weekend!!​

UGH I ran to my brothers house for a few minutes to bring a couple of candles and came back to a mess. My monsterous puppies got into the garbage and spread it all over the kitchen and another room while my husband slept through it. Must finish cleaning the mess up. On a positive note, my head is not as full.

Hey, what other smilies can we put in formation and make them look really cool?!.....

​

(hey, those look like peas!) ​

OR!​

​

(sad blueberries?!)​

Gee, and I haven't even had my wine yet! ​

.​

But peas and blue berries don't go together!!

Good morning.

I hope you feel better and your day runs smoothly and the party is a lot of fun!!

MMMMM. Coffee. Good luck with the housewarming today. I hope you feel better. I've been staying hopped up on 24-Claritin to keep my allergies away. It seems to be working okay.

Glad Claritin works for you. Regular allergy meds/antihistamine do nothing for me. Except most of them make my heart race. I have found Singulair to be my wonder drug for allergies. I have not had a sinus infection since last October. That is a LONG time for me. After that infection is when I started on Singulair.

Hey Chicken.....I mean Mean Queen. I'm not wearing my glasses or contacts so I couldn't read the cartoon. Guess I better go and put a pair of my eyes on.

Sinus infections are the worst. The pain is so severe. You have really put yourself through a lot to help your brother. I hope he properly appreciates you!

With my sinus infections, I have flu like symptoms too. Chills, sweats, trouble keeping food and liquid down and on top of that the meds make me sick as a dog. I was almost put in the hospital for IV fluids with one of my infections b/c I was so dehydrated. Luckily the shot in my butt worked to settle my stomach and I could start keeping fluids down. I got down to 99 lbs and looked disgusting. NOT FUN. It SUCKS having sinus issues.

My brother does keep telling me he appreciates everything.

 

[Smileybug]

Mean Queen....What can you tell me about Universal/IOA? We are thinking of taking the kids. I don't even know where to start.

Sounds like it is time to take care of yourself.

Hopefully Metro stops by, they are the Universal expert. We don't do Universal/IOA because my kids are younger. Both parks have rides that are great for older kids, lots of roller coasters. Tickets, at least annual passes, are much cheaper than Disney. They do not do Fast Pass. Instead, if you stay on-site at either of their 2 hotels, you get front of the line passes for all rides. I will probably go back in a few years when Harry Potter opens up. My DD8 went last year with my dad and cousin and it scared her to death. She said she's just a Disney girl.

That's sweet about your DD. We are thinking about taking the kids in Nov.

Hey there, PEE-POLE! I just got back Thursday night from the beach. If any of you are contemplating Myrtle Beach, you should look into the Villas at Premier Resorts at Barefoot Landing. Pricens are comparable to staying at POR. It's a mile from the beach, but real close to Barefoot Landing, lots of pools, and real kid-friendly. We enjoyed ourselves (well, the kids and I did--dh was there for a conference.)

Hey Amanda!! Glad you are back!!

Have any of you been to Disney the week leading up to Christmas. Like Dec. 17th - 22nd? If so how crowded was it?

 

[LegoMom3]

I've never been at that time - maybe Mean Queen can chime in on that?? - but the crowd calendar from the site I can't even refer to without it being starred out (!!), lists that as a fairly slow time.

Dec. 17 = 3
Dec. 18 - 20 = 4
Dec. 21 = 7
Dec. 22 = 8


Our trips in Sept. are given 4's and 5's, and most of the time - with the exception of evening EMH - we had hardly any wait at all.

To put it in perspective, most of Sept., Oct. and early Nov. have crowd levels of 3 -6 (the 6's are mostly Fridays when there's something like MNSSHP going on). The week of the Fourth of July is all 8's and 9's, and the actual Christmas week is 9's and 10's!

I would say your week seems like a good time to go (Pop Warner is gone by then, too!)

(ooh!...hey, this is one for the Tag Fairy!!.....where ever she is...)

Hey Amanda!! Glad you are back!!

Thanks, Smiley.

Can't help you with the December DW crowd levels, but I would think December in WDW, while as crowded as summer nearer to Christmas would be more bearable because of there being less heat.

I'm not sure, but seasonal passholders are blacked out then. That usually means it's a more popular time.
