So, basically, what you're sayin' is these are your kinda' nachos...?

I'll have 2 of what your DH did, please...!

Then I would save your credits and use them at Hoop De Doo for some of you (hey that rhymed!) rather than Prime time and Sci Fi.

Sci Fi is just the two of them, so it has to be TS credits. Presumably, 20 of the credits "belong" to them, provided he actually pays me the money.

HDDR goes on my credit card when I book it, and last year it was too much of a hassle to switch it over to credits, so I just let it ride, given that my CC had already been dinged the full amount.

Need to book everything first, probably tonight - then we have 4+ months to re-allocate credits.

Thanks for the input. I had considered all your points, even before you mentioned them. You know ... because I'm cheap!

 

[Cesar R M]

Yup just like your pic, but with the diced red peppers and DOUBLE onion, and two sides of sour cream.
Maybe some guac. (Is guac even a thing with nachos?)

That corn salsa was awesome! Maybe two of those too.

guacamole is optional to finish the fried tortilla chips that were left :9

There are only 3 people on the DDP. Disney restricts the number of credits you can use per meal to the number of people on the plan. Ergo, even if all 5 of us are at the same table, we can only use 3 credits at a time.

Adopted Son is not coming. He says he's waiting until we buy the condo, so he can bring a friend. Thinks he'll feel like odd man out. Son #2 and the GF will be doing their own thing (hopefully within the same park), so that would leave AS stuck with the old folks.

Id take that as a good thing.
You wont have to deal with drama while in the parks

dear god.. the size of that nacho plate!!!

It's more like, "Oh yeah, the size of that nacho plate."

 

[seahawk7]

Isnt the dream the only one of the disney fleet to have an American flag and the rest fly Nassau ones?


is that.. chuck norris? lol

That's his new job after they closed down Maelstrom.

As silly as this sounds, the first time I ride the monorail during each vacation, and hear the spiel (in English and Spanish), I always think, "I'm really here at Disney World!!!" And, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it the same voice they've used for years? There's something comforting and uplifting about that man's voice!

So I got my new passport in the mail today. It is so much prettier (the passport not my photo) than the old ones. I like all the new pictures and quotes on the inside. I can't wait to use it for France!

Yeah, my picture was .

Ready for the next group work rant? Here it comes. Read at your own risk.

This one girl in my group has been a problematic group member. We have a free class on Thursday to work on our projects. So I suggested that we go to the library and work. "No, I can only work where the professor is," she says. Um, okay??? So I flat out ask her if her parents have a problem with her meeting where the professor is not. "No, it's just me," she says laughing. "I prefer for people to just email me my parts and to never have to meet outside of class."

What the...

"So you'll never meet outside of class...because you don't want to?" I asked.

"Yup," she says, laughing. I don't know what was so funny, because I sure as h*** was not laughing

Think we're going to have to have a discussion after she leaves Thursday (the rest of us are hanging around to finish the assignment) about her because I am at my wits end and one of these days, I'm going to lose my temper with her.

I don't understand people like her. What do they get out of being a problem for others?

 

[seahawk7]

Nothing booked yet, but here is how I am thinking of distributing the 30 TS credits.
The "kids" don't want to eat every meal with us. (Ditto!) they want to have a few romantic dinners on their own.

Here we go:
Group dinner @ The Wave. 3 TS, 2 OOP
Group dinner @ San Angel Inn. 3 TS, 2 OOP
Group dinner @ 'Ohana (assuming I can get a ressie). 3 TS, 2 OOP
Group dinner @ 50's PT. 3 TS, 1 OOP (Tammy and I always split this meal)
Group dinner @ Hoop Dee Doo. 5 OOP
Group brekkie @ Kona. 5 OOP

"Kids" only dinner @ Coral Reef. 2 TS
"Kids" only dinner @ Sci Fi. 2 TS
"Kids" only meal (whatever I can get) @ Crystal Palace. 2 TS
"Kids" only brekkie @ Cindy's. 2 OOP

"Adults" only dinner @ Narcoossee's. 6 TS
"Adults" only dinner @ The Yachtsman. 6 TS

Raglan Road is on the back burner if we can't get 'Ohana, and may get added OOP, in any event.

What say ye?

Looks good!

 

[seahawk7]

That's awesome. If I could only do one TS, that would be it.

I'm glad you say that because I wasn't sure but based on what you guys said, I booked it.

Can you use TS credits for everyone at The Wave, San Angel, and/or 'Ohana? If so, I'd pay out of pocket at Sci Fi and Prime Time and use the TS credits elsewhere. They're cheaper. Pretty much all entrees are under $30 at those places and some are under $20. Or use some of them for Hoop Dee Doo (I know those are two credits, but you'll most likely save more if you use some there). You're better off using your DDP credits elsewhere. We throw those in to balance out more expensive places.

Is Adopted Son not going?

That's a great idea.

Would you guys add the dining plan if you have 17 TS reservations. I did the deluxe dining plan back in 2008 and it was too much food but I'm looking at the basic for this trip. What do you think. Do you need me to list the reservations I have?

Yup, give us the list.

So, some guy "bumps" me at a red light today, and his front licence plate bolts pierced my bumper. (In case you didn't know, Ontario cars must sport front and rear plates.)

Very minor, but as you know my car is quite new.
Nissan's estimate is $926.74. Dude doesn't like it. Wants me to get a second estimate.

Dude. You hit me. The car is less than 21 months old. Plus, it's a lease.

I am only going to get fixed at a Nissan approved body shop, so that it is not held against me when I trade it in.

Not sure how much effort I want to put into this.
Irk me some more and I'm just going to make it an insurance claim.

 

[seahawk7]

Yup, give us the list.

BOG breakfast, Liberty Tree Tavern dinner, Mama Melrose Fantasmic package, Boma dinner, Via Napoli, Rose and Crown dinner, Via Napoli (again), Trails End breakfast, Trails End dinner ( it's our Fort Wilderness day to rent a golf cart and ride around), Biergarten lunch, BOG dinner, Ohana dinner, Hoop Dee Doo, 1900 Park Fare breakfast, BOG lunch, Tutti Italia lunch, San Angel dinner

It's the guys fault. He needs to go with your Nissan approved place or deal with the insurance. Sorry this happened.
