We talk too much....

[lilpixiebabe101]

yeah same here!! I'm already salivating over the slushy I'm gonna get in Epcot

The only alcohol I get if Katie doesn't go is the stuff the night of the Hippi Dippy Party!

I was just talking about those yesterday to Mike in the car. I told him he could get the lemonade one at the American pavillion, and I'll get the Grand Marnier orange one in France...then we'll get to taste each other's!

 

[cherbear]

I just got a daily survey. And happy about that since I missed Thurs, Sat, and Sunday. I am tryin' for OTX now. Then on to SM

• call dibs on the joystick so you can keep your vehicle aimed at the right targets
• let your partner board first so you sit on the right, the side with two-thirds of the targets
• as soon as your gun is activated, pull the trigger and hold it in for the entire ride. The gun will fire about once per second, and the flashing of its laser beam will help you track your aim
• If the ride stops, keep your blaster fixed on a target. You'll rack up points in a hurry
• aim only at targets with big payoffs: as you enter the first room, aim for the left arm of the left robot (each hit is 100,000points. As you pass the robot, turn your vehicle to the left and hit the other side of that same arm (25,000). As you leave the first room, turn your vehicle backwards and aim at the overhead claw of the other robot (100,000). As you enter Planet Z, aim at the top of the bottom targets of the large volcano (25,000). As soon as you see Zurg, hit the bottom target of his space scooter (100,000) by firing early and late; your gun can't aim low enough to hit it straight on. As you go into hyperspace, aim about six feet to either side of the top of the exit tunnel to hit a circle sitting in the middle of a rectangular plate (25,000). The maximum points possible is 999,999

cool! I knew about that last one.

Didn't know Brer meant Brother. So does that mean Brother Bear is a copyright infringement?

probably not since it's all Disney

The only alcohol I get if Katie doesn't go is the stuff the night of the Hippi Dippy Party!

well, at least you'll get some

I was just talking about those yesterday to Mike in the car. I told him he could get the lemonade one at the American pavillion, and I'll get the Grand Marnier orange one in France...then we'll get to taste each other's!

yum!! That's a good idea. I think I might have to tell chris we are doing that too. I talked to him about the slushy's yesterday and he said he was gonna get an alcoholic one for sure!

cool! I wish I could remember that last one when I actually get on the ride. Can you print that out really tiny on some laminated sheets small enough to fit in a pocket, and pass them around to everyone at the hippi dippi party as "favors" ?

Maybe you can make it small enough to put on the back of your LGMHs!

probably not since it's all Disney



well, at least you'll get some

oh wow...worried about work huh

Now there's a brilliant idea!! I might have to finagle a way to do that. Hmmmmmmm......

yes....very!

 

[lilpixiebabe101]

Guys, I am mad enough at that stupid travel agency crap that I could scream.

Apparently the second "confirmation number" they gave me, only they can use. I can call Disney and ask what is on my reservation, but that's it. I can't modify it, I can't pay any of it off over the phone, I can't view it online or pay it online or nothing.

Gosh I'm so pissed.

(Oh and my travel agent's mom passed away. That's why she's been gone.)

I'm also speaking to her assistant apparently. My name on my email shows up as leigh goudeau. Well she apparently insists that is my name even though I've signed every single email as Ashley. GRRRR.

Oh man!! They should have told you that that would happen before they booked for you. What's the difference if you pay through them and not directly to disney? I guess they don't get credit or something?

At least you have someone you can "talk" to now. That's so retarted that she won't call you Ashley. You should tell her that Leigh is not your name! Geez!! What travel agency did you use? I'll be sure to never use them

Exactly. Nothing. The trip comes out to the same exact price. I'm about at the point of calling Disney and asking if they still have rooms avaliable to book and if my deposit would carry over. I'm not a control freak, but I like being able to have a bit of control. We don't have a credit card and that is the ONLY thing that the agency takes. My dad had to pay my deposit on his CC.

I did tell her. That means she basically disregarded my message.

"Hi Leigh..!

We as travel agents have a separate Disney site that we book through that is not accesible to the general public. The confirmation number we get from Disney can only be used on the travel agent site. The same goes if you were to call them with it, they might be able to tell you what it says, but you couldn't modify it. Your telephone number is used for your dining reservations. Those you should be able to access by calling 407-WDW-DINE! Do you need to make any changes to your vacation reservation? If so, just let me know!

Thanks!
Wendy Cugliotta"

It's through Dreams Unlimited Travel. The one thats plastered all over the Dis. That's why I trusted it enough to use it. Otherwise I would have gone through a family friend whos a travel agent.

Do you have a check card? Maybe you could pay the vacation off with that. That's what I use.

That lady seemed kind of rude in her email. I would call WDW too and see what they can do for you. The travel agency should refund your deposit. That is so rediculus!! I don't blame you for trusting them since they're plastered all over DIS. I would have too. I've gotten several quotes through them to see if they were cheaper but they never are so I always just book our vacations myself. Last year I did it on the disney web site and this year I did it over the phone with a disney CM 'cause we were booking the bounce back. Hope you get it figured out.

 

[Leger13]

Just wanted to let you girls know that I am headed home from work now. It was nice chatting today!! Hope you all have a nice rest of the day at work. I'll be back on in an hour or so.

 

[cherbear]

yes....very!

yes you should! I have such brilliant ideas...and I love when you call me on that.

don't you wish you could cuss here?! I can feel your frustration. That's why I don't use a TA....I just figure I'm paying someone to do something I know full well how to do (and should be doing it for a living too ) I am sorry and hope you are able to work everything out despite that little annoyance. Guess you will have to bug the crap out of her and really make her earn that money she's earning off of you!

That is sad, though....I hope her assistant knows what she's doing.

"see" ya in an hour or so! always a pleasure *tipping my hat to you*

Ashley, when you do decide to get a credit card, try for a Chase Disney Visa. I have one and it's really nice to earn the points. Maybe you could talk to Buddy about getting one and find some nice furniture and pay it off that way. You can probably get 0% interest for one year, and you could just make payments on it and try paying it off within that first year. Then you would not have to go through the rental company and worry about being scammed. And it'd also build up your credit. And you'd have new furniture of course!

If you decide to get one, let me know and I'll give you my info for the referral

But honestly, I do think that would be a good idea if y'all think you'd be approved for a cc. I just really hate to think of you going through that rental company if there's a better route to take to get furniture. Can you tell I just don't trust those people?

 

[team weasel]

Hey girls - geez I'm away for a little while and you guys just chatter up a storm.

Carla - those are some cool facts. I'm not going to show Mark those tips about BL either, so I can finally win!

Ash - Good Luck on your furniure. I have Big Lots furniture just like Cheri. Well, part of it anyway. We started off with thrift shop stuff (or hand me downs) and have been able to move up year by year, thankfully. I still can't afford to shop at Ashley.

Cheri -

I agree. I my Disney Visa.

1% cash back isn't that great of a payoff, but it's like having your own personal Disney savings account.

They do 6-12 months no interest ALL THE TIME too!

Go with Cheri. She = Jedi Master.

I have one of those, but Dreams only accepts CC. I wanted to be able to just pay the rest for Disney. They aren't getting paid by me, unless they are going to tack stuff on at the end as a surprise here ya go thing. The final balance they have on my reservation is the same that the Disney website gave me. If she doesn't give me a satisfactory answer, I'm going to call Disney tonight and see if anything can be done.

yes you should! I have such brilliant ideas...and I love when you call me on that.

Like I said, I don't see in my totals and stuff were she's making her money, but yes, I would like to be able to curse at the moment.

My parents have the Dis Visa. We had credit cards. Which is the reason we don't have them anymore... our credit isn't exactly um good or ever kinda good at the moment.
