First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Four Sure

[jeanigor]

Has anyone heard from Jason (J/Kim) or Susan lately?

What about Lori (TheBeadPirate) or Rick?

Hmmm...well if you aren't going to use them, then why let them go to waste? You've spent good money on them, so that is a quandary.
Beach Club isn't too very far from the Dolphin, so you'd still be near us....
I guess the car thing is what it boils down to? Isn't there a per diem charge to park at the DolFUN?

OH I didn't think there was a parking charge. I will have to ask on the "real" question thread.

If I didn't use the points I would bank them into next year or sell them.

I missed the first 2 threads so I have some catching up to do.

I think its $10/day...but AskTracy will know for sure on Five Alive!!!


And I wondered if you'd bank or sell them. Have you ever sold them before?

And by my calculations you are ranked #23, with 115 combined posts.

A job done well, young padawan.

I have done transfers the last 2 years. It's 56 points for the 2 weekend nights at the BC. So at $10 a point it's nothing to sneeze at, but I have been feeling lazying about actually doing it. It takes a little leg work.

I just figured out what you meant by SAB (Storm Along Bay).....
Would you recommend renting points from a current owner prior to taking the plunge? We went to the 'Doorway to Dreams' store in Chicago and did the tour. I was already interested before seeing the model. Listening to the spiel and seeing it 'in person' made DP interested. Should we just trust our gut and go for it or should we be more cautious and test the waters first?

 

[jeanigor]

How long would it take to get a group of DIS'er through TSM if we had a meet planned for rope drop on a non-EMH morning at Hollywood Studios?

Sorry about the confusing abbrevation.

I am not sure if I am the right person to ask. I bought before I even saw anything. I actually bought before we went to WDW. (I had been before, but never as an adult) We had been the Disneyland several times and I knew I could use the points there if I didn't like Disneyworld. If you can find someone you trust to rent from I would rent first. I have "control" issues so I knew renting was not for me. I needed to be able to pick up the phone and talk to member services whenever I wanted to. I still love logging into my DVC account and looking at my points and my upcoming vacations. I would never tell anyone this outside of these boards.

I wonder if there is a person/hour chart on that ride somewhere. I have seen them before for other rides, but I can't remember where.

I don't think you are alone on this one....I know I feel the same way. I am not sure I can give a stranger that much power over me....but thanks for your thoughts.

Oh and I beat you in to the post in Five Alive...but JASON answered you, not me...so....yeah

I think I am going to steal that and ask a question......

Todd... are you getting even with me for thinking you were a woman way back?
I'm JASON

You could always start with a smaller resale contract. Not as much of a money commitment, but you still have control of your reservation.

Freudian slip???

 

[jeanigor]

Thanks, JASON.

Ha.


Ha.

Whew!! Finally got all the PMs sent!!

Yeah, what he said.

I am SUCH a morning person. There is something wonderful and amazing to start the day anew with the sun. Don't get me wrong, I love days when I can sleep in, but I always feel so unproductive if I spend the morning sleeping.

Sooooo, we are still potty training and only 1 accident yesterday. While he still sleeps in a diaper at night, the days are going well.

Maybe he'll be trained by June after all.

No advice it's been way too long since I've potty trained, besides girls are easy. Good luck!

But don't they prove to be a bit more difficult (generally speaking) as they grow up a bit?

 

[cocowum]

I just read Kathy's blog about the Kim Possible Adventure at Epcot, including Miss Mindy's comment. Anybody game?

We can't wait to try this out it looks like so much fun!

Per Tracy, please don't post on 5 until 4 is closed. No one listens to her

Actually, I was looking for feedback from the non-Tracy posters anyway

Classic Pete!!

Pete Werner is wondering what the hell "Fashion Wars". I'm 250lbs for god sakes - just putting on a t-shirt is a 'fashion war'.

Did you send him an invite? I did!

Ok, I am buying some new computers.

Do you think it is worth $80 for the processor with the 1066 MHz front side bus vs. 800? This computer would replace a computer that is 10 years old.

I am soooo not speaking to you right now!!

And by my calculations you are ranked #23, with 115 combined posts.

You are nuts!

On the TSM meet thread there is info about this.


And can I say, I can't believe this thread is still open and the other one has 3 pages!!!! Poor Tracy!
