[DisDr.]

Hey Guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Been busy the last few months moving back to LA, taking boards, working, the usual. Finally settled down a bit so I can catch up here. DS7 just started 2nd grade and football. DS4 starts school next week.
Starting to look at a WDW trip end of March 2012.

BTW- has anyone seen the new cocacola machines that mix flavors at fast food joints...no beverly , I did get an orange Coke.

2nd Day: MK. Lunch- Crystal Palace, Dinner- California Grill
3rd Day: Epcot. Lunch- Via Napoli, Dinner - Koussina
4th Day: AK. Lunch- Yak & Yeti, Dinner- Jiko
5th Day: HS. Lunch- Brown Derby, Dinner- Boma
6th Day: MK. Lunch- Tony's, Dinner- Ohana's
7th Day: Epcot. Lunch- Via Napoli, Dinner- Le Cellier

Getting hungry just thinking about it!

Wow. I assume you are doing the deluxe dining plan? Those are some really great ADRs! <== thumb

Since you are at AKL, you might try Boma for a breakfast. Heard it is really great at breakfast. I have only gone for dinner and I loved it.

Welcome back to the club!

We have several places near us that use those machines. I really like them, but they add about 4x the wait to get your drink while people decide what they want.

Thanks! I haven't gotten them yet, but hopefully they're available!

Haven't decided on dining plan yet. Sometimes, when you do the math, it's cheaper not to (unless it's free!)

I will definitely check out Boma breakfast!

Welcome back, Phil!

Why would you want to ruin a coke by doing that? I love Coke. It may take the rust off a nail, but it is really good.

got home from work at noon, had my nap. now its off for a shower,than its off to cracker barrell for chicken and rice. the sat. night special. i worked real hard this morning. the owner of the company called me into his office. told me to shut the door. (i worked there 20 years and only ever seen that door closed twice, niether was any good.) i was told to have a seat. im thinking,(getting fired,hes not paying our healthcare,what did or didnt i do,someone die what?????) nope, he wants to plan a suprise trip to wdw for his kids and grand kids and wanted some info. (after i called him a name) he starts laughing!!! he says, i thought that was funny myself, i just wanted to see the look on your face!!!! so i spent the next 2 hours answering his questions. he has been there a few times and being semi retired, has time to play on the computer and knows more about the place than i do. do you want to cry, he has reserved 4 1br units at bwv each for 7 nights. 9 adult and 7 child park tickets and 16 first class plane tickets. than tell me he pays me to much if i can afford to go there twice a year.

I would have beverly'd my pants too...not funny.

Oh...and by the way....my HVAC system just needed more refrigerant. No leaks. Said the temperature differential between the two lines was too far apart.

The best part about it was that he was a "friend of a friend" and did it all for $40! Tightened all my lines...cleaned out what needed cleaned out. Everything is running as it should.

That is funny and I would have called him a name as well. My boss is 4 hours away from me, so I don't get that luxury. But, I did receive an urgent email that said call ASAP. When I called (worried), he said that he needed planning help for WDW and it turned it, we overlapped being at WDW by a few days. So, to get him back, I sent him a travel voucher with the mileage to WDW for "meeting with asst director", lodging costs for the hotel, food prices, and the special expense page included our purchased disney merchandise for "consultation" reimbursement. I heard from the others in the office that they had a good laugh.

I can't really quarrel with those locations. My only thought is that I'd be tempted, on a few days at least, to do breakfast/dinner ADRs instead of lunch/dinner. Crystal Palace would be a good example for that. And maybe Kona breakfast on the 6th Day instead of Tony's lunch. But that's just me - I think some of those lunches would leave me too stuffed to enjoy dinner.

Hmmm....should we try to close this thread while waiting on draft picks? Better not. Don may get mad at us.

Hey there guys. Sorry I've been MIA the last couple of days. Our eldest daughter Mary fell off a fence on Thursday afternoon and broke her elbow. Well, yesterday she had surgery to reset the orbital head which had been twisted and flipped in her fall.

She's doing very well today and is excited to show off her lime green cast to all her friends.

Now Mary wanted to add some smilies to this post.

Hope Mary gets better

Our local news is reporting that Manning will not be ready for the home opener and may be out a couple of weeks. Apparently the Colts are looking for a veteran back up.

Someone get on a plane to Mississippi and see if Favre is ready to wear speed blue

At this rate, we could close two threads. WE are the fastest moving bunch around, except during FF Draft time.

You are not allowed to draft anymore Colts players.

Yes sir. OOOh maybe if I start drafting Pats players they will all get hurt early in the season

You decided to put a curse on the Pats with your 1500th post! Well done!
