Good morning, our world is white, at the moment. I've had enough of snow, it's time for spring. Poor daffodils got covered. They are tough and should be okay.

Sympathy like

Did you guys get bit by mosquitoes down there in Florida?

I have no idea, I've never had anything last this long, it's strange too, one day it's in the lungs, next in the joints, next sore throat and ears, then on to the stomach making it really sore inside and out. I swear someone must have engineered this thing....it's just too weird.

 

[betty rose]

Oh cool i will look into that! only book we found is secrets of walt disney world is pretty awesome

Amazon has a number of books on it's sight, and they are reasonably priced.

 

[betty rose]

I know right! so excited, never done 3 weeks before, my fiance's brother stayed out there for 3 months in a hotel and did parks nearly every day so im jealous about that haha.



Yeah i can imagine us getting VERY exhausted haha, i remember my first time at WDW i couldnt get out of bed after the first 3 days. let everyone else go off shopping while i slept in.. i will be doing vlogs so i will most likely post them on the forum

not gonna lie, i have no idea what a park hopper is xD i think we have a 21 day disney pass, and then a 2 week pass for everything else that kicks in the 2nd week.

not sure what else to try and fit in yet, and as we are staying off site at the Rosen Inn we can't book any fast passes or dining experiences yet.

Where did you order your tickets? You're in the UK, right? Did you go through the Disney International UK site? Because then you probably have "Ultimate tickets" which allow you unlimited access to the 4 main parks, plus the 2 water parks. So you can go between all the parks each day as many times as you want. That's what I have for this Summer. If you go through the American site, then you have to buy the base tickets that allow you in to one park each day, and you can buy the Park Hopper option that lets you go between the 4 main parks, and/or the Water Parks and more option that gives you entrances to the water parks, Disney Quest (if it's still open) lets you play mini-golf, etc..but I think you only get one entrance to one of those venues per day of your ticket, whereas the ultimate tickets give you unlimited access for however many days you have tickets.

It's back in the lungs and stomach. I'm getting used to it, but not getting much better. Although the first week was the worst, now it's just hanging on.

 

[betty rose]

Me too!!! We watched a movie the other day that had a reference to Mary Poppins and DD says "That's a really long word" so we started singing the song. She didn't realize it was a real "thing". I've apparently been remiss in my parenting...she NEEDS to see Mary Poppins!!

Absolutely!

If I could do it, I'd kick my own tushie.

Has anyone gone on the Dining and Restaurant forum, I spent yesterday, rating the food we had last trip. It doesn't record names or want explanations, just a vote up or down, gives you a little guidance as to what people thought about their food. A good starting point for making reservations or not, all of the restaurants are on there with menu's too.

 

[betty rose]

Off to the restaurant forum, I forgot to give Boma an up rating.

Good morning I'm a goin huntin. Those critters have to be eliminated. It's down to 25 and some mixed slop is supposed to come in later this afternoon when I have to be out with the boys! tonight's dinner groundhog chow fun

Sympathy like! I hope you're donating all the groundhog dishes to the needy since you don't eat meat! We're supposed to get some snow later this week.

In a nut shell it is vintage Steven King and his incredible imagination. In short, a guy stumbles into a time travel situation and during the trips back has a chance to prevent the assassination of John Kennedy. A very complex story line that we all know what they outcome has to be, yet it is an incredible journey with many twists and turns, just trying to find out how Mr. King manages to get to the ending. The ending of the story is, of course, predicable, but, how the story all works together to get there is an absolute marvel and creates a very interesting read. BTW, I am not now nor have I ever been a Steven King fan, but, he sure showed his talent in this one. It does require a voluntary suspension of disbelief though! However, well worth the read.

Oh awesome! That sounds great! I've stayed away from SK because I can't handle horror/thriller, but apparently some of his aren't like that. Like, I loved The Green Mile...at least the movie. I didn't know it was SK until I had watched it. I'd like to read the book, though. I usually prefer books and I read a LOT. I'm reading a similar thing right now, though it's a whole series. It's about a woman who falls through a portal into a time 200 years before her time and tries to prevent the Jacobite uprising/Battle of Culloden. Then once that's passed, it moves on to the Revolutionary War in the US. Fascinating.

Howdy gang!
As per yesterday, I'll try to finish up my mini TR tonight, although I have a clothing store closer, so I don't know how much of it (if any) I'll get to.
Not much left really (but, it sure was a BLAST!!!!!!! ) ...evenin' at EPCOT and DSprings half-day...but, thanks for playin' along and readin', and I'll finish it up soon...!

Anyway, time for some ketchup...with a little mustard thrown in for good measure...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Have fun on your whirlwind trip, and don't let anyone sneeze on you!

Yep, folks were hackin' and sneezin' everywhere.
Fortunately, it looks like none of us brought any of those kinds of Disney "souvenirs" home...!

Also, way behind again, but, sure hope y'all are done with your Disney "souvenirs" by now...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Thanks, I'm feeling much better today. It was a long haul to get back, but back I am!

AWESOME!!!
Hahaaa...! I just needed to read ahead one more post...!!!

Well I dont know you gals and guys, but I'm terrible.
Had one of the worst nights ever.
I had such huge fever I was having your typical Delirium Tremens package.. (shaking, nightmares, awful body pain on muscles and bones,sweating) I even had some seriously strange dreams while trying to sleep (involving a huge space station) and some scary
ghost like apparitions, vomiting, etc..
not fun.
had to chunk a lot of ibuprofen for the headache.
Right now I'm kinda ok, full of meds. I wonder how long until I can recover...
interestingly.. My sister has it as well.. seems there is an influenza epidemic around.

 

[Cesar R M]

i have no idea what a park hopper

Its just a different "pass" that lets you hop from park to park anytime.
Normal regular passes only lets you enter ONCE the park of your choice, if you leave, you cant enter.
with park hopper.. you can switch and jump from any park anytime on the day.

 

[donaldtoo]

I remember seeing that Mcdonalds every time I left from AKL to Coronado Springs.
Right by the overpass.
Usually full of trucks nearby.

Yep, I think we passed it (on the bus) about 6 or 8 times just on our short trip last week.
