TFW Meet 2008 The Mission: Wiener Salad & Margaritas - Trip Report Links on Page 1

[KatGarcia]

OK so I called Dining to see about changing my earlier ressie at R&C to something closer to IROE time (which is 9pm). It's also EMH's Evening there. The CM told me that there were no ressies around 8:30 like I wanted because they stop serving at 8pm? Does that make sense???? It just seemed weird to me.

Anyone eaten at Brown derby? I am toying with the idea of makign an ADR for myself there too (so much for not wanting to do TS alone huh).

UPDATE:

Well, I did it. Booked an extra night at POR. Thought I'd give them one more chance. Plus, we'll be arriving at dinner time and I like the food court there.

So what was the final nail in the extra-night-or-not-coffin?

MK. EMH. The next morning.

Summer is the only time I take advantage of EMH's and only because the heat is so much less oppressive that early. Even Lapu'd over last year, I was amazed at how nice the MK was at 8am! We'll shower the night before, eat breakfast in our room and head on out to the MK for a couple hours so Leo can his ride on. We may even monorail over to EP and score some lunch!

BTW, I'm down to 26 Fuzzy Days!

to the extra day.

Yay! I was just saying to LL this morning - I have NO IDEA where anyone is at any given time at this point! Seriously, I was doing pretty well there for a while, but now I've got all of your details jumbled up in my head.

I was keeping track there for a while and then changes started and I got completely lost

not a problem at all! I def wanna have an idea of where the heck to look for all of you since in my head I can't keep it straight! It's actually almost done!

So he dreading seeing us all again??

Jim keeps looking like this as we get closer to leaving!

I KNEW this was coming...I just KNEW it!! All weekend long (and now since our "talk" about this earlier, I've been trying to figure out how to get out of VB and get into SSR for Wednesday...

My add-on-itis is itching really bad today....

I'll PM you with my latest and greatest plan, though it's still under construction.

I think everyone, except Jo , are making changes...Poor Kat, after this we all owe her a drink

Want some enabling? AP rate at SSR is $169. :

No this is friendship

That is weird Kat. I would call back and see if you can get a different CM.

Anyone eaten at Brown derby? I am toying with the idea of makign an ADR for myself there too (so much for not wanting to do TS alone huh).

I had lunch there a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I had the famous Cobb Salad, which I believe is no longer on the menu The theming is awesome too!

This strikes me as very possible... it was a little after 8pm when our server encouraged us to stay for IROE and we noticed no new patrons being seated.

It's been many years, but yes and I LOVED it!

Well mostly you Not really

Strange Oh and it's nearly done

I think everyone, except Jo , are making changes...

Why do we need to make changes????

 

[Muffinygood]

I have some changes to make to, but as soon as I have them I'll let you know Kat!

I can't wait to get a copy because it's turning into a vicious circle here. I wanna make changes, but don't know where everyone is, so I wait till I find out then I wanna make changes....you know?

Oh, and I GOT MY ME AND MY STIMULUS CHECK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!


I win!

You must try BD. It is absolutely one of our favorite restaurants. I love the atmosphere as well as the food.

to the extra day.

Ditto!

I had lunch there a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. I had the famous Cobb Salad, which I believe is no longer on the menu The theming is awesome too!

When we were there in March, the Cobb was still on the menu. Do try it if you go. It's a lot of food but you're on the dining plan, no?




I've been MIA for a while, vacation to Atlanta and Memphis, and now that Mitch is away at summer camp, for the Army, not fun, , for 3 weeks, I'll have plenty of time to get back to DISing. My BIL is getting his MBA Aug 23, in the morning, so I have explained we can't attend his party because we have to have dinner with 50 or so people we have never met! Actually he doesn't really care about the party, my sister does, since he already has a JD. He got his MBA for free since she works at the school. Crazy, I know but he likes to be challenged.

And now the obligatory picture of my cute nephew at a friends barn.

Oh good, I thought I had read they took the Cobb Salad off the menu. Glad to hear that they haven't!

So how did this go over with your sister?

He is adorable

OK, I can't picture you as Kathy. Just like I'm sure you can't picture me as Cruella.

I think we know that one, easy.

That was too easy

 

[Muffinygood]

Hey guys! I just remembered a tidbit of info that I got on our trip that **might** be true.

When we rode RnR at HS the last night of our trip, I decided to buy the pic. When we were checking out the photo, I said to the girl, "I don't suppose I can add this to my Photopass, can I?"

She said, "No. You can only do that at two rides. Buzz Lightyear and T.T."

SAY WHAT?????

I knew about TT but did you guys ever hear this? I questioned her and she said it was new...

Oh, and Kat, I'd love the word doc if you don't mind.....Actually I want everyone's but I'll wait

Looks great. Where did you get the envelopes from?

MK. EMH. The next morning.

Ya. Nothing beats adding an extra day to WDW!

Post a what? I got lost....

I have a picture itinerary I would like to share. I can either email it to whom ever wants it or I can have you put it on the web site, if that is not to difficult to do. It is in excel format.

 

[KatGarcia]

I usually do leave an envelope on check out day.

He's a cutie!



OK, I can't picture you as Kathy. Just like I'm sure you can't picture me as Cruella.

I was Kathy all my life, then I moved to Brooklyn and my ex called me Kat and it stuck, even my inlaws call me Kat.

I got them from several places, the DIS, a web page I had saved. I just liked the pics and then folded them how I liked 'em.

Email away! I'll check it out!

 

[Lauralee131]

I'll PM you with my latest and greatest plan, though it's still under construction.

Ya know, I still don't really have MUCH of a plan...I have to do August disguised as KGM (ugh...can't STAND her)

Tony+Heat+Too-Much-Go-Go-Go=Even MORE arm flailing, neck craning, eyebrow raising and heavy sighs than usual.

Approach with...extreme caution.

And a Mighty Mister...

Want some enabling? AP rate at SSR is $169. :

I can always count on you my friend! Ooooh...much better than the $200-plus I'm paying for VB's cash night... I think my cash night is Tuesday though. I'll have to look into it.

Of course, Tony doesn't know it's a cash night.

He wanted a beach vacation. With an oceanview room...

I wanted to go to FockerFest...

We compromised. I used points to book VB PRIOR to FockerFest. Everybody wins eh? Somewhere in the middle of our stay though I have a cash night. I've got to figure it out...

Well mostly you

Nice.

Oh, and I GOT MY ME AND MY STIMULUS CHECK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

So ummmm....can I borrow some?? I spent mine already...

Here is a question for everyone? If you tip daily, like we usually do, do you tip on check out day?

Yep - I do.

what would Tracy and Mo answer?

Good one Mo!!I was shocked and a little bit dis-heartened at the amount people that answered "one week"

She said, "No. You can only do that at two rides. Buzz Lightyear and T.T."

SAY WHAT?????

I knew about TT but did you guys ever hear this? I questioned her and she said it was new...

Cool! If it's true. It wasn't like that in January though. V???? You were just there...whatddyaknow?? I can't wait for the day that all ride pics can go on your photopass card...

I have a picture itinerary I would like to share. I can either email it to whom ever wants it or I can have you put it on the web site, if that is not to difficult to do. It is in excel format.

Great job on the Mousekeeping envelopes Kat! I haven't done mine yet...yes, I'm slacking. I only need a couple so I've been putting it off...

I have that Excel itinerary that you're talking about. It's AWESOME isn't it? I'm making one for my family for November and it's looking great!

 

[PrincessV]

Oh, and I GOT MY ME AND MY STIMULUS CHECK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Wooo hooo!!!

I've been MIA for a while, vacation to Atlanta and Memphis...

I was just about to go looking for you! Sounds like fun, but glad to have you back!

My BIL is getting his MBA Aug 23, in the morning, so I have explained we can't attend his party because we have to have dinner with 50 or so people we have never met!

And now the obligatory picture of my cute nephew at a friends barn.

What a cutie!

The first page in my planning folder.

WOW! I can't even share my WDW planner with you guys... it's beyond lame in comparison! Just an old black pleather day planner with sleeves for each trip. "Itineraries" are note pages with a gazillion cross-outs.

OK, now I doubt if you are a true Focker?

Jo, the Head of International Fockers, is neither British nor Focker. Discuss.

LY Jo!

I was Kathy all my life, then I moved to Brooklyn and my ex called me Kat and it stuck, even my inlaws call me Kat.

Too funny - my ex-DH was the one who started calling me V! Now everyone else does and he's not allowed to.

Ya know, I still don't really have MUCH of a plan...I have to do August disguised as KGM (ugh...can't STAND her)

Oh, but I like her! We speak the same language.

I can always count on you my friend! Ooooh...much better than the $200-plus I'm paying for VB's cash night...

You're going to be horrified by this though... I'm actually paying the DVC price for my third night at SSR, instead of the lower AP rate. Why? So the ressies will be linked and there's no chance I'll have to check out and back in again.

Cool! If it's true. It wasn't like that in January though. V???? You were just there...whatddyaknow??

Sadly, I must admit I don't have a clue on this one. I never get the Photopasses, so I never pay attention.
