Tkers...Killing threads seven days a week!

[lilmissdisney216]

Kitty- I hope our waitress "acts". I went with my girl scout troop and our "mom" didn't act at all!!! I was so disappointed. Our annoying big brother was great I just wish our mom had been better. The fried chicken makes me melt though!! Totally delicious!! !

 

[MagiKitty]

Oh! That's what I had...I read so much about that chicken, I was afraid I'd be disappointed. But I wasn't. It rocked my world. Yum!

 

[lilmissdisney216]

Oh stop it, you're making me drool.....

 

[MagiKitty]

At least you're going to have it sometime soon! I saw they extended free dining through December and I'm so so tempted. But BF and I want to save up some money and maybe do a Universal trip early next year. But it all depends on how this winter is going to be....

 

[lilmissdisney216]

Did they really extend free dining!!!! DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS!!!!

 

[MagiKitty]

Its on the front page of the dis. Free dining has been extended through 12/21. But I thought you were going after Christmas? That's high season, I doubt they'd extend it that far. But you never know!

 

[lilmissdisney216]

*tear* I am going after Christmas and its one of those things that dawned on me after I posted.

 

[MagiKitty]

Don't cry! You're getting to go! You're going to be able to enjoy all the loveliness of the holidays at Disney! And its still early, there still may be perks announced as it gets closer to December....they never used to have promos during the summer, but they're had some this year.

 

[MagiKitty]

oops....double post. Same sentiment though!

 

[lilmissdisney216]

Good point.... can't wait to see the holiday decorations.

 

[JOCAmom]

Evening ladies!!!

MK, you could always tag along with us when we go in October. I think I have finally decided on which place to rent....a 3 bedroom townhome with private pool for the same price I would have paid to the room at POR. It sleeps 8. There's always room for one more.

Mere, are you ready for the crowds at that time of year? That's the one thing that keeps from going then.

We did 1900 Park Fare a few years ago and it was nice. I didn't find the food to spectacular but the character interaction was out of this world. I bet you're gonna love it.

Hi SCHBR'smom.MagiKitty
LITC I was disappointed in missing you, but I think I would have had a hard time giving Walter back.

We had fun on our trip but glad to be home also. Besides the water leak and the lights not working one night, a cabinet loosened from the wall. DH has spent the past couple of days working on the trailer (after his golf game of course).
I can't believe I spent almost 5 hours at the Baseball Hall of Fame. It really was interesting. Do any of you know Abbott and Costello's Who's on First? bit? Well, I just had to get a baseball shirt with "IDONTKNOW" and #3 on the back.
Now we have more destinations for future trips. Despite eating out too much I gained only 2 pounds. Should only take a month for me to lose that.

True, still wish we could have met!!

I'm home...tired and hot but I'm here. I even caught up on the thread but too much to comment on but to say---GO Walter! How did you ever decide which picture to use? He's just so darn adorable! I'm in the voting of course!

I know I'm crazy but I'm going to HP tomorrow. At least for maybe 2 hrs. It'll only be around 87-91 then! My aunt is up from NC and I got them tickets to go with their 2 yr old granddaughter. My cousin has season passes too but I knew they would want to see Gracie on some rides. Mom isn't going...too hot. My cousin said she would make a time with us for another, cooler day for mom.

Glad DL55 made it home ok.

Thanks Pepper for holding that traffic away when I drove off the Bridge Tunnel to Suffolk. I don't remember having such little traffic on the way down. It was nice seeing some of my cousins. Why can't it be without a funeral? People are too busy.

How about---
8 Isn't Enough
MagiKitty and TKers Make Eight
Eight Threads and Counting...

Thanks M&N, and it was easy, DH picked it!!

Good morning Kitty! Good morning the rest of my TKer friends!

It is another HOT one out there today. Went for a 40 minute walk because that was all I could handle. I will be so glad when this heat decides to go away so I can go back to an hour.

I've got an appointment to get my passport done today at 2PM. I heard that the prices are going up as of July 13th so I figured I better get it done. I don't really need it until the cruise in 2012 but since it's good for 10 years I figured why not and since my Mom is paying for it as a birthday gift why not save her so dough.

Follow Kitty's advice and stay hydrated M&N! And keep a close eye on the little one.

Not sure what the next name should be. I like 8 Isn't Enough but need to get TKers in there. Maybe "TKers....8 Isn't Enough!"

Hey Pike, you are a good daughter!

Morning! It's hot here of course but it's also very windy. It's very odd.

M&N, welcome home. You better be careful out there today. All you stay hydrated.

MK, if those are the same cars I am thinking about, they don't actually parallel park around here. They back in right along the curb like they are parking in a parking lot. It looks really strange.

Pikester, I don't blame you for getting the passport before the rates go up. Lately it seems like rates for everything are going up and up.

Need to go get my vote in for Walter!

Thanks Jo!

As for a new name I like

TKers ...Eight isn't enough
And

TKers ....Crazy 8s


I think the storm is starting to catch up to the kids now. DH and I have had trouble sleeping but now the kids are having bad dreams and breaking down crying. Last night DS8 was so upset. He came to me and told me he had something to tell me but he wanted to talk to me alone. He broke down crying hysterically saying he had a bad dream about DH and I breaking up and leaving them alone and he was so ashamed of it cuz he thought if he dreams it then it will come true. After I calmed him down we talked a long time (He really is remarkably in touch with his feelings for an 8yr old boy - WOW) I explained that this is all part of the tornado and his brain trying to work through these feelings. It is all normal. I got him calmed down enough to go to bed, but I think we've got a very long road ahead of us here.

Poor kids, and you adults too! I hope you all feel better soon!!

Oh D&D---Hugs to your family! I too am so glad he's able to share these things with you. Does the Red Cross or anyone provide counseling? I'm sure he's not the only one having terrible dreams. Don't forget you were going to give us a list of things needed..or did I miss it?

Hot here too. I lasted HP until nearly 1:30. We did not go to the water park area so the lines weren't long. We mostly wanted to let my 2 yr old cousin go on her rides for grandma and grandpa to see. She's a little sweetie most of the time. It was cloudy some so that helped. My uncle and I went on the trailblazer together. He would like to come back when it's cooler and do some of the rides. we did the Kissing Tower and monorail too. Then we ate at Houlihans. They were not stingy with the ice today in the park.

Thanks for adding the TKer in my suggestion...it must be there!

I voted for Walter...going to go to my mom's and register her too! I did ask a few friends to vote too.

Thanks thats so nice!

Hey Kerrie---what kind of baby do we want? Maybe a little girlfriend for Walter? I always said I would want to know whether it's a girl or boy...I don't like 'generic' baby gifts! I am careful not to say what a cute little girl and have it turn out to be a boy! At that age, it's not always easy to tell...

I've already got a girlfriend for him! As long as he likes older women, my little R is 18 months. She's teeny, tiny, loves shoes, and can hold her own with 4 older siblings.

With 4 girls already, only one boy, another boy would be nice. But, we're certainly used to girls and have PLENTY of clothes, toys, shoes, etc. I guess, we just want a healthy baby.

looks like Walter's set !!!!!!

 

[MagiKitty]

So you've decided on a rental house JO? That's so exciting! I've seen some of the pics and they look amazing. You're going to have so much fun.

Thanks for the invite....you're so sweet! I wouldn't want to crash your family vacay though!

Hi LITC! I've already voted for the little man!

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Thanks Kitty! And here's a pic of the cutest baby ever!!

 

[M&N]

More Walter votes! I signed up my mom. I had to give her a screen name to get her JCP rewards so I figured she would want to vote for Walter too! My cousin replied that she would vote---and she agreed that he is adorable!

Hey JO---where are you? I've missed the NASCAR talking. I'll probably forget what I was going to say anyway by now!

I cannot believe our meet is just history now...it seems so far away. It is great to have met more of you...now I can picture you in my mind when I see your posts!

Kitty---tell bf that we need to vote for your baby in the contest too!

Disney does Christmas in a great way. I'm glad I'll see it again this year, even though I'll be too early for the Candlelight Processional. I may get to a MVMCP though.

 

[JOCAmom]

You're welcome to crash our "escape from reality" vacation anytime.

Since I am totally new at this offsite thing, have you ever eaten at any of the local offsite restaurants down there? Not a chain restaurant, though.

 

[MagiKitty]

I love the Candlelight Processional...and BF doesn't it. But I tell him its for Baby Jesus and he just has to suck it up. Its gorgeous and wonderful. I do hope to see it again one day.

Oh, Walter, you're such a heartbreaker! Hugs!

 

[MagiKitty]

We usually do the chain restaurants coz I can get coupons for them. There is a pizzeria called (creatively) NY Pizza somewhere behind Universal that we go to. And there's an Indian place I like to eat at heading towards the Prime outlets. Otherwise, we usually eat at TGIFs, Dennys, Buca de Beppo, Cheesecake Factory. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I do like Cafe Tu Tu Tango on International drive, but its more tapas and for fun weird food like alligator. And we eat at Thai Thani after Sea World, for some reason

I'm sure if you ask around here you'll get fantastic suggestions for food.

 

[LivinInTheCastle]

Actually I believe NY Pizza just recently closed. If you try wdwtoday.com, they usually have some suggestions. It is a podcast about WDW, you can listen on your computer or just read their show notes. One of the guys lives not far from the World!

 

[M&N]

Hey Walter! Your auntie misses you.
