So....Dave and I decided to go out to a very nice restaurant tonight and use the gift certificate that we got for our anniversary. I called earlier today, got a 6 pm reservation with no problem, then I actually had to change it to 5:30 because we're invited to his brother's to play cards later. I had no problem at all getting either reservation, and this is a very popular restaurant especially on weekends, but to eat at any WDW restaurant I have to call months in advance.... :brick:

...I never had that problem :lookaroun

Often we were able to call three hours in advance and get reservations :lol:

Good afternoon and happy Friday!

I've been so busy with school lately, it's not even funny.
Hey Luke!!!

I know...it stinks.

Disney really needs to look into a new way to get ressies.

And I don't blame it all on the dining plan, I really do blame the fact that you can start making ressies 180 days in advance. The uber planners mess it all up! :lookaroun

LUKE!!!!!! I missed you!

How are your classes? Are you making tons of friends???

I miss you guys too! I'm always so busy that I never have time to come online and chat with you guys :(

But it's a god busy. Classes are... well... classes. Calculus is completely useless and I've stopped going to lecture all together because the teacher can't teach the material. I still go to recitation because the TA takes attendance there and helps us with our questions. Chemistry is pretty challenging, but I seem to be grasping the material well enough. My London class is so much fun and I'm glad the only thing I have to do for it is write a journal and a paper that are both due next quarter. English is also good, though I have to write an essay and read 12 chapters of Jane Eyre before Tuesday. On Tuesday we had a discussion on the literary merits of Finding Nemo. It was interesting to say the least.

And I'm making plenty of friends. That's why I'm never here -- I'm always hanging out with them. My entire hall is pretty tight with each other. It's good. I like it a lot.

And I'm so glad it's the weekend.

I blame most of it on the dining plan. Most of those people would not be doing TS meals like that every night if not for the DP.

ooh...Betty, I figured out how to make it bigger...I had to reduce the size on Photoshop...it was a maximum file size and I had to make it a low one, even though the sizing was right.

This probably doesn't make sense...:lookaroun

Some more news:

1. I sold two football tickets for $100 each and I'm selling another for $50 pretty soon.
2. I'll probably be getting a job at a (fairly high-end) restaurant pretty soon. I have an interview tomorrow and the guy basically said that he would hire me. So that's cool.
3. Between 1 and 2, I'll be able to buy myself a new iPod in NO TIME :lol::lookaroun

That's wonderful!!!

NOOOOO!!!!

Not that I can use it anyway :lol:

I'm so depressed that I missed Epcot's 25th. I would have totally skipped school that day if I was still in high school.
We all would have! :o

Yeah...I understand that.

I think it's actually a combination of the two that equal bad. I also think a lot of people make more than one TS ressie and don't cancel either. Like I said, Disney needs to look at it's system a little bit more and figure out a better plan.

Ex. While I was at Disney with Free Dining, yes, I had two TS meals on my first night scheduled, however, I went to cancel the one. There was this couple who wanted a TS meal while we were standing there. What would have been easiest is if Disney would have just allowed them to take our meal, but no, Disney had overbooked...so someone else got it instead. So these people were out of luck...it was really disappointing that we couldn't do anything to help them. :(


Edit: Did anyone else have any trouble getting on here?

Quick hello.

My computer is going to the doctor (aka Staples) later on today.
The fan has been verrrrry noisy. :(
It will be replaced.
Hopefully, it will be fixed by Sunday.

Talk to you all (hopefully) soon!

Love,
Freddy
