[Goofyluver]

YOu better not or I will give everyone your phone number so they can crank call you at 3:00am

Oh yea. Oh YEA. OH YEA!!!!

I got nothin.

 

[Muffinygood]

But how hot is Gerard Butler?

Yep. Mucho Hotness! I posted a pic of him on my TR...

WOOOO HOOOO!!! Ok, who's doing shots of Yager with me??

Wait never mind ... Yager is liquid death ... how about Goldschlager shots?

Oooohhhh. Not me. I'm not that brave, T.

Ok SO I found the epcot drinks graphic thing a few weeks ago...now that I am looking at it I want to change some of the drinks...so I need some help....

Let's go through all the countries and make up a new and improved list and I'll change it on the graphic!

Here's the old graphic:

OK Ladies Let's Talk Booze!

What the heck is a Berber Passion?
Uh, I think HE'S a Berber....Or a Magi....Well, he's one of them....

OMG, Boone's Farm - hands' down the WORST beverage on earth!!!

ETA: No, wait. Genny Cream Ale wins for Worst Beverage on Earth.

I think I vote for ginger brandy as the worst drink. blech!

You all are making me jealous with all this drinking around the world talk. Too much money for my tastes. Not sure yet where I will be using up my spending money but I doubt it will be on drinks. This whole traveling on a budget thing is no fun.

Lessa, if we all bought you a drink, it wouldn't cost you a dime. But, you'd be schnockered.

OMG yes the traveling on a budget thing sucks big time.

Ditto for you Z.

OK I'm trying to finish inputting the stuff for the spread sheet....

I have a couple of changes, Kat. I'll PM you in the am.

I posted this on TFW but I'll repost here as it pertains to the FF trip!

Spirit Airlines emailed me yesterday to say that they were changing my flights! GRRR. We were supposed to fly out of Detroit direct to MCO. Our arrival was around 1:30 pm.

They changed it to a connecting flight to Ft. Lauderdale/Miami. With a 6 hour layover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would have put us into MCO at around 8 pm! Not cool.

So, today I called and YELLED at them.
I told them that I booked DIRECT for a reason. That I had no intention of arriving almost a whole day later than I wanted to and that since they still had flights available on their website for earlier in the day, that were direct, they could put us on those for the same cost as the flight I originally had.

They did it!

So, now I arrive at 10:40 am!!!! Yay! I don't love getting up at 5 am to go to the airport, but that's ok. I am just happy to not be arriving LATE.

SO, score one for this P.O.'d airline customer. I fear the worst is yet to come in this respect though. Trying to find flights for our Xmas trip is proving HARD. I may cancel and rebook it for Feb...

[carrieannie]

Yeah, where's the Boone's Farm and Natural Light?

That is funny Slate!!!!

Can I borrow that "Drink around the World" chart for our IP DIP thread?

Goldshlager is a Cinnamon liquor with real gold specks swimming around in it...

I`m feeling all of everyones excitement just reading!!! Its sooo close!!!
Mel!! Way to Go on the flight change!!!

 

[KatGarcia]

OK any changes please send them ASAP I am about to mail out the first copies of the itinerary!!!! I'll do it in a day or so to give everyone the time for changes!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Well, you can all stop dancing - fridge repair guy came yesterday. For only $167 we have a fridge "good as new". Dangnabbit!

Awww sucks T .

Ya know maybe you can "damage it" whilst away in the World.
Just sayin'

Wooohooo Mel! I think they new today was your day.

Really it makes no sense to fly to Ft Lauderdale only to go back up to Orlando. Why do airlines have those insane flight routes?

 

[jcc0621]

Yep. Mucho Hotness! I posted a pic of him on my TR...

Was that the guy in the dress? Or was that Jen2's TR? I am confused

It is ridiculous isn't it. Riddle me this. One flight I looked at (I think it was Continental ) had us going from Philly to Dallas/Fort Worth to Orlando....Ummmmmmmm I don't think so.

I'm sorry T!

Ugh, never had it but it sounds hideous!

Yay! It almost always pays to call and ask!

Why do airlines have those insane flight routes?

Seriously. My flight back from Paris went to NY, then Cincinnati, then on to Tampa.

 

[sorul82?]

I haven't read back through the pages, but have ya'll been reading the restaurant and podcast threads? It has been reported that the filet mignon has been removed from the menus at reg rests and possibly the signatures as well.

Hi s'late! I did see that, and it may well spell the end of TS dining for me. Seriously. The only things I generally order are filets or fish when I go out to eat... and I almost always prefer to eat fish around home, given that I'm 5 miles form the Gulf. And once, again, I blame the freaking dining plan. NO DDP participants.

When we were there in May, it seemed like all menus had become uniform, especially for kids. The buffets pretty much had the same things.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

HI ladies. I am feeling myself again and have to finish my planning. Could someone remind me what time we are meeting on Tue for the MK meet. I believe it is at 3 near the Toontown train station. Am I right? Also anyone know how late you all will be at the Petals pool on Sunday. I really want to try and get in in time for this.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Well, be proud. #3 started packing today. I'm in list mode, but he's trying to convince me that I need to get all the suitcases out for him so he can get us all ready to go.

 

[DisneyJo]

Fantastic

I can't remember what the date is Kat but I now have a Poly photoshoot booked at 6pm the day we are eating at Narcoossees

What!!!!! That's near enough all I order Why????

Well, be proud. #3 started packing today. I'm in list mode, but he's trying to convince me that I need to get all the suitcases out for him so he can get us all ready to go.

Wow you have him trained well

Hey lady hook a woman up with some specifics for the itinerary.... then you can get your very own copy! LOL. I had a bit more than I originally thought for you, but you are sans times of ADRs and I have NO contact info for you...HOOK ME UP!

Fantastic

You had that in there, just not a time, so I shall add the time in!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

Are you laughing because you know I'd end up with one sock, three pairs of short, 17 t-shirts, and every stuffed animal on his bed?

 

[askelton]

OMG - watching P.S. I Love You....I need a box of tissues!!

Good movie but the book was much better. I listened to an audio book and the narrator had the best Irish accent, in the book they are in Ireland not America.

I'll join in your dance - I have fantasies about french doors and a bottom-mount freezer drawer!

Another example that we're getting old. And the love of Kitchen Aid appliances.

Wait never mind ... Yager is liquid death ... how about Goldschlager shots?

You're right, Goldschlager is much better than Yager.

And of course...fingerprints...not crazy about those either.

This drives my batty about my dishwasher.

So I re-packed them both and set my sights on pairing down elsewhere...

Why exactly?

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Y'all are crazy! I haven't even thought about packing yet. I'll probably save it for the day.

 

[Muffinygood]

WTH!? NO Filet? Bob will NOT be pleased!

That's insane. What are they thinking???

I'm glad they fixed it.
Now, who else besides Spirit has changed flights after you've booked? I want to stay for away from those airlines. I read Jet Blue (?) was charging for blankets and pillows now.
