Where in the World is Bob Saget?

[Goofyernmost]

Off from work today (yea!), and early tomorrow morning I'm on a plane to WDW! Never planned a trip so close to departure before, but when my wonderful MIL insisted on giving me the money as a gift to go, last week, I couldn't resist! I booked everything just three mornings ago, for this Friday's departure. (Back home on Tues. night.)

The funny thing is that since I hadn't originally planned to go this year, I wasn't paying too much attention to the mechanics of the new ticket media/FP+, other than to cringe at the price tag Disney spent on this falderol. So this morning, I've been reading up on the particulars, and since I'll be staying at the Swan, I'll buy my park ticket there. I think I can just use the plastic card, alone, and don't need to purchase $12.95 for the band (since I'm not a Disney hotel guest, that is additional price for the card to be linked over to a band).

I could care less about the band; I believe the cards, alone, work in the kiosks. Plus, without any real lead time to schedule FP for rides, there probably won't be much to choose from anyway, on the days I go. I'll just try the new kiosks for grins and giggles, but I don't expect to be impressed with last-minute selections. Anyway, I like to just roam around the parks, and I've often been lucky to just "hit it" when ride waits randomly drop in the stand-by lines. There's no rhyme or reason to any of that; it just happens, sometimes.

I found the card to work great and they were not really any hassle at all. I found that they were easier to line up with the sensors at the rides and since I always wear a watch I really didn't want both my wrists covered with bling. They work exactly the same as the bands as far as the kiosk or the attractions are concerned.

Have a good time and if you can find a computer to sign on, I really need the "likes" to reach 10,000. Yes, I'm pulling a @PUSH here and begging. My dignity is now completely gone.

"Pulling a PUSH"... tee hee! Sometimes I crack me up!

Sometimes, you crack us up too!

I like to be "one with nature".

You camp naked?

 

[Soarin' Over Pgh]

Mmm...nope. If I were to go to a state park (actually, I've been to one), I would go during the day and leave and stay at a hotel. Somehow it really just does not appeal to me.

Also, I assume the RV does not have a shower.

I'm not a big fan of camping either, but an Aero bed and lots of pillows made it surprisingly comfortable when our friends dragged us along back in October.

The closest I will ever get to camping is a Hilton hotel.

No. Thank. You.

 

[meyeet]

Wow not even down to the Days Inn or Holiday Inn Express level huh?

 

[MOXOMUMD]

YAY!!!!! A fellow camper!!!!!!!
Wait...there's not an RV involved, is there...?!

I love camping. We're looking at staying at FW on a future trip.

In other news, I swear I'm always too late for these surveys.. like the paradise thing

What Sort Of Paradise Should You Run Away To?

1. You got: Rainforest Paradise
   
   
   
   You’re all about adventure. The most important thing to you is being able to leave everything behind and find something completely different to do. Generally, you’re a free spirit and a daring person, and you’d be happiest wandering through the rainforest with the animals. So what are you waiting for?

I got the same thing. I think it means we're supposed to go to Animal Kingdom.

I recently found this website where you can rent a camper for FW and they will set everything up before you get there and take it away after your vacation. http://www.floridacamperrental.com/ I guess it would be technically not camping ( @donaldtoo ) but then I would say most of those people staying at FW are cheating as well...

I've hit a new low/new high today. Forgot to grab a spoon for my yogurt (YUCK, I hate yogurt, but I'm taking antibiotics and need something to balance them out) and I can't leave my office. So it's become a scavenger hunt for "spoon line object".

I've settled on a (sterile, wrapped) tongue depressor. I'm eating yogurt with a tongue depressor.

I should be ashamed.

Just think of it as a big flat chopstick.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Anyone remember these?

I don't even use an air mattress. I like to be "one with nature".

Clearly the Nywdwfan/donaldtoo persona is at odds with our other personalities Sageteers on this one.

I would survive without the air mattress, but as long as my gf has that as a demand to agree to camping I will not complain about being forced to sleep comfortably through the night. We could probably use a lot less pillows though.

Think anyone will ever figure out we are all Gary Busey?

Well that explains who/what has been eating all those cats in my neighborhood. It was me!

I love FW, but I don't think I would ever want to camp there. After spending all day in the parks I'm looking for a/c, a bed, and TV. Also Florida humidity is not my favorite sleeping conditions. Maybe I'll stay in the cabins someday though.

Thanks. How is DH doing?

Doing better - bloodwork closer to normal last night and if it continues in the same direction this morning he can come home. He's definitely feeling better - although his back is still bothering him. Between the epidural shots (which can take up to 2 weeks to be effective) and the spinal tap to check for infection (there was no infection - hopefully they didn't drain any of the meds from the original shot) it's sore. He's calling/texting/facetiming a lot more today so he's definitely homesick and looking to get out of there.

You camp naked?

NO!! But I refuse to use the campground latrines - I'd rather use the woods. I'm not really a high maintenance girl and camping really brings that out.

My friend stayed there last year, and while they were nice, she said there was a strange campground smell that kind of bothered her.
