When in doubt, feed the bear....but not that!!!Day 6- Last day blues

[Poolrat]

Borrowing already huh?! You may as well pick up some more points now, you know you want to

I was thinking the same thing but I should be Ok. The DL thing is late in Sept and my UY is Oct so it just hit odd.

When I get back from that trip I will be in my new UY so all is good.
I was more worried about having to bank the extra 2011 point if I can't get GCV.

Trying to get Sept 27- Oct 1 right before the Vegas conference. It has been all about that today and I am a little frustrated but not as frustrated as I am with a certain swim meet that not following rules concerning our championship meet on Sat .

Good Luck! We are planning DL next year so I will be anxious to hear all about it. You have my curiousity...what happened Saturday? There must have been something in the water that day. Between Jeremy's grandparents (yes, there is sarcasm in my voice) and nasty scout parents, I was ready for that day to be over and it was Jeremy's birthday for goodness sake!

Oh Yes the webiste is back up.


I scored a ressie to GCV!!!!!!!

They were syaing 3pm so all day I have been sporadically checking, you know, just in case.

At 2:55pm I chcek again and instead of the Maintenance screen I get in . I was so that it took me a second to figure out what to do.

The final round of mickey heads took forever.

Booked Sept 27 - Oct 1 studio at GCV.

I have been waiting all day to get this checked off my to do list.

Now I can go on with my day!!!!






Our big Swim meet is This Saturday but entries were due at midnight for all teams. Well one team decided they are not following the rules and well, lets just say they will be on double secret probation next year.

The Ellen attraction is something we need to try. Next time when we need a break, we will have to check it out.

If you like Ellen you will like the attraction. It is her typical goofy self and the storyline goes through the whole attraction with a couple of distractions by dinosaurs.


Next time you have an hour to spare... but watch your FP window for Soarin'.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I'm afraid the new enforcement of the FP window is going to be the death of Ellen.....

Ellen is great if ...

- you need to kill an hour and you are hot or cold.
- you had quite a few drinks at F&W and need to sleep it off
- You feet hurt and you need to get off them for an hour
- your FP for soarin' or TT is at least an hour away
- your ARD is at least an hour away and you want to distract yourself from your hunger
- You are trying to wait out a Florida rainstorm

Hurray for scoring a Grand California reservation! I have really been longing for a Disneyland vacation lately.

Hurray for scoring a Grand California reservation! I have really been longing for a Disneyland vacation lately.

I am really excited that I got that reservation. I knew it would be a hard one since those rooms usually they are sold out right at the 7 month mark. My stalking paid off.

Best part is that it is essentially a 'free' trip. Points for the flight and points for the room. All that is left is tickets!!!

I have some serious planning to do. I know almost nothing about DL.

Congratulations!!!!! That's awesome!

So, let me get this straight - you are going to DCL in the beginning of the month and WDW at the end of the month, or did you nix the trip?

I have DL from Sept 27 - Oct 1- then Vegas from Oct 1-5 for a conference.

I come home and work for a week and then hit WDW Oct 14- 19.


Now of course I have to get all the vacation approved but it should be no problem. Taking 2 weeks together was hard but having a week in between should have me caught up before I go back out again.

Oh the tiny decorations are sooo cute! Ha ha Disney Pizza... I know I'm spoiled but I don't understand why the pizza there is so blah!

I have never been on Ellen... would it work for 3 yr olds who need a break?

I really like those details in the train village.

Disney Pizza. Not quite sure why it tastes like school pizza but I am sure they can do better. I hear inside the pizza is much better.

As long as the dinosaurs don't freak him out. If you can be in the fron of tha pack as they load , if you are lucky he will be out before you even start moving.

Wow! Those are some great plans!

I hope nothing comes along to put a kink in those plans. I am excited.

Double secret probation.

MAJOR SCORE on GCV!!! Very Very Cool!

That's sounds like a pretty fabulous month if you ask me!

Double secret probation.

We use that term a lot. Too often in fact. Every couple of years we get someone new in the league that just doesn't "get it". When they slack to the point of being a problem, we ( the others in the league) put them on double secret probation- well we tell thier facility probabtion but we all know what it is.

MAJOR SCORE on GCV!!! Very Very Cool!

I just posted over on your PTR- Jumping and dancing like a little kid. The Booking website being down meant I had to stalk it all day long.

That's sounds like a pretty fabulous month if you ask me!

I hope nothing comes along to put a kink in it. It is our slow time of year, and school is in session so nobody really questions it.

Seriously - I want a month like THAT!

Seriously - I want a month like THAT!

I am really looking forward to it.

I've read other reports that the pizza from the window at Via Napoli is not as good as what's served inside....have you ever eaten inside to be able to compare?

Congrats on getting a GCV reservation! Sept-Oct is going to be a fun time for you!

I have not eaten inside .... yet...always on the list. I have heard the same thing and it really wasn't bad, it just wasn't great.

Congrats on getting a GCV reservation! Sept-Oct is going to be a fun time for you!

I am looking forwad to it. I was a bit stressed most of the day while I was stalking.

 

[Poolrat]

I just checked the website, and the Sat and Sun are already gone for GCV.

I am glad I
