test Part 5

[macraven]

just came back from the doctor with todd............told if the red areas continue, he needs a hand surgeon. it is always something with the boys.....

but this is much better than having to drain the neighbors pool to see if one of my kids were on the bottom of it when one of them were missing when they were little.........and much less stressing than the chimmney incident.

anywho......2nd son did the same thing when he was 12, busted up his hand in a bike accident......then 1 year later hand surgery as it wasn't cleaned out completely.......

deena: we love the warm weather here.........this is the third day our furnace has not been on...........i hear you about the driving and having to hang around there. been there done that, like i did that yesterday and will do it wednesday again.....

ocm: dial up..........how ancient......that's like someone not having call waiting............post a sign whenever someone talks about food.....the last few pounds are always the hardest to lose.........i have been there many times, but then i take shortcuts, used to i mean. BB, wow, bet the kids are impressed.........its good to get the kids interested in the gym, they will stay healthy and love to exercise when they get older. it will be a part of their life.

mic: what !!!! no BB pics this morning???? did you get air yet? do you want to borrow my tent so you can camp along the way as you walk to the West.?

pam: get out of the closet now.......
kayjay: you too !!!! i bet you have a stash of chocolate hidden in there... what ever happened with your test results? did you pass or at least get a B+ ???

Ed: i was going to brag on you for the drop dead pics of disney then you have to go and screw it up and pal up with adam...........i can't even think of her name right now.....you know the bottle blonde vixen vegetarian who beat Bo.....yea that one.........she broke up with her long standing boyfriend over the phone when she got in the finals of 5 contestants.......guess she got too good for him.

Adam: my man adam, you know ocm wouldn't do anything to you if you switched over to the cars in your siggie.................but if you tell her i said that i will deny it. are your kids out of school for the summer? has the fun began yet? our schools get out on the 10th.



oh, guess what i did.!!!!!! i called disney last night and switched from room only to a package. get 10 table dinners, 10 counter and 10 snacks all FREE
if you have a package and check in between aug 27 to oct 4, the meal dining package is free. it covers appetizer, entree, dessert and beverage and tax and gratuity..............by making it a package i lose my AAA discount but only pay $217 more..............the dining package is $34.99 plus tax per day........and it is free........woo hoo.............

 

[macraven]

gee, what was i thinking, that dining package is A LOT OF FOOD.........

i can't eat that much food......well nothing over 800 calories a day.........


guess i will get fat when i go to disney then.............not

 

[mickey4ver]

grrrrrrrrrrrrr and boo hiss on those Cards schmards.............watch out tonight I can take the loss.....I just look back at who is wearing the ring...........and flying the banner........

Deena, swimming takes it out of you and makes you feel lazy, that is what summer is for, enjoy. I understand too about driving back and forth, and it is easier to just wait it out wherever you are til time to retrieve them.

Mac, that deal sounds awesome, and its vacation, so eat, who cares about calories, carbs and all that nonsense. You will be walking your patootie off while there, so you can figure you will burn some of the excess off. I'm glad you got that deal....good for you.

Ed, siding with the other guy here..........you men, you all stick together.... but you 2 are our sweeties and we love ya....but to be fair.........

 

[mickey4ver]

oopss...forgot mac, hope son's hand heals up and no specialist is needed...tell those boys to straighten up and fly right...enough with the accidents and boo-boos

[onecoolmama]

I won't bring up the fact that you don't eat.... we will skip on to other subjects....like, what are you having for breakfast today?

Some one is being a SAMRTASS!!!!

Infact I did eat breakfast this morning. A protein shake, On Whey..I asked 4 different fitness boards they all said it was the best tasting and most effective.

I dont eat Eggs. Egg whites, but not eggs.

 

[onecoolmama]

i can't eat that much food......well nothing over 800 calories a day.........

Good for you Mac!! I am not getting the dinning plan for that reason too. But, I am getting Kingdom Vouchers, for the kids. They get and App, Meal, and dessert for 12.95 at any sit down restaurant. That will feed, Julie, Nico and I. Then Lee can just eat whatever he wants. Its a HUGE value.

That is me too, since we are sharing. 600-800 calories a day. As long as I stay in the negative we are ok. Yesterday, I ate 275 and I burned 1035, at the gym, negative 760 calories.

 

[pkasbohm]

mac--sorry to hear about your ds!! hope he heals soon!!!!

well gotta go and make some calls for noah's team.

Good luck to Todd!!! I hope it clears up and no surgery is needed.

 

[macraven]

yay pam........3 off is 3 gone............wonder if that number works with kids?



ocm: right on..........if i bought the dining plan for 10 days it is
$34.99 plus tax which makes it $39.87 a day tax is the highest at the sports/music/movies value resort. i could be paying about $400 for the dining program if it wasn't free.

i get on the table/signature places, one appetizer or salad, entree, beverage, dessert.
for the counter service tickets,i get entree and one side dish or combo meal, dessert and beverage.

i plan to ttry places i have never been.....ohana, boma, 1900 park fare, stuff like that. i will do the salad, bottled water, do the veggies and 4 oz of meat (hey, i will be on vacation, going for 4 not 3 on the trip) and if the dessert is chocolate, i go for it and walk more that day.

the snack coupons (10 of them) can be used for a 20 oz bottle of soda, bottle of water, med. fountain drink, on scoop popcorn, ice cream bar or one piece of fresh fruit. plan on doing the water and fruit and of course slip in at least one mickey bar ok, mayabe two of them

i already had figured out my meal plan last week before i switched over to this freebie. i was going to buy kid meals and do just ohana, liberty tree tavern and hollywood and vine. i figured my meal cost would be about $325 for those 10 disney days.......

now, even if i don't use all the dining program coupons i will still be ahead.
my trip was $936 for the room and 10 hopper tickets. just added $217 to my total, cancelled the ressie and made one with the package.
by doing that i save over $100 for the food alone.

just because i bought the package doesn't mean i will use all of them.
i just might do 10 bottles of water and take them with me to hard rock when i leave disney.

thanx guys for the kind words about todd

 

[macraven]

if anyone of you guys are going between aug 27 to oct 4, you are eligible for the free dining. it covers all that are in your party........too bad no kids will be with me on this trip, i would save a bundle then.

as long as you check in by the last date, oct 4, it covers up to and including 10 nights stay. i can use the coupons up to midnight on the 11th day, the one i check out on.

 

[onecoolmama]

Mac - can you get the AP Rate and use the free dinning? Or do you have to pay rack rate?

 

[macraven]

the free dining is for any package booked.

i used to have the AP and used it for room only bookings except two years ago and last year booked the dream maker package without dining.

I don't remember if you can do a package with an AP.
i have AAA and had booked room only, $61 a night which was cheaper than the ap rate, $66/night.

i did get a $43 discount on the myw tickets for booking in advance.
my rate is higher that what was listed as i am going solo.
the special right now is book a 5 night stay with double occupancy and get dining and tickets for $425 a person. minimum stay is 3 nights.

that would be $850 for a couple for 5 nights, 6 days. kids are free on this package. this is the value rate, the ones for moderate are increased by $45 and deluxe more also.

to answer your question, it is cheaper not to apply the discounts and do a package that includes the food.
you get the myw tickets at a discount when booking a package in advance







ok, now what was your question again?? i get going and start to ramble...

 

[macraven]

Mac - can you get the AP Rate and use the free dinning? Or do you have to pay rack rate?

i dunno............
just know it has to be a package to get free dining.
if you get a room w/ AP, you can't add the dining.

kids are $9.99 a day.

what i was told last night, the ticket coupons go on the persons name who reserved the room if it is a family.
the computer does not know if it is kids meal or adults meal coupons.
many on the mfl board are taking advantage of that.
they pool all the coupons and use it for the adults. they buy the kids meals at the resturants. that way they have waaaaaaay more food.

 

[onecoolmama]

Ok, I am blonde, but I think I got it. That isnt a bad deal at all! I'll have to talk to Lee about it. We are going to take Julie to Cinderella's for lunch for her b-day. So, I will talk to him and see what he thinks.

 

[macraven]

what you can do ocm is book the resort room for 3 nights only. you get cheaper rates, tickets and if you do 3 nights will get 12 table, 12 counter and 12 snacks.

then if you are staying longer, book room only with an AP.
if you do a 3 night special, the food coupons are on your room key and expire at midnight on the day you check out.
therefore, you move to another room/resort if you want and use any left over dinner coupons on day 4........

it will work.

 

[macraven]

what i meant is book a package for 3 nights then do room only ressie with ap.


you won't be charged for sammie and julie since they are under 3, they will eat free.
so it would be 9 coupons each for table, counter, snack

 

[mickey4ver]

Lots of talk about eating your way around the world....you guys are making me hungry...........

I'm not a smartass I just love to tease you............

Hey Pam, glad you dropped in for a few minutes............thought maybe you were locked in a closet someplace and couldn't get out..........

I understand all the wanting to save $$ and get the most bang for your buck on your trip you guys, but you are making me dizzy with all the details....LOL.....that dining thing is a real good deal though and what a great perk to get. If you can apply it to some of the better restaurants that mac listed that is really a good deal!! Plus you can try some new places.....

Momma, dinner with Cindy will be such a great way to celebrate Julie's birthday...she will love it.
