I am intrigued and disgusted at the same time.
Glad you made it through your phone calls! Jim seems great, too, and also easy to chat with on the phone. I gave up trying to book my own after taking time off twice during W&D registration. So easy.
Most excellent choice - we had 5 nights there on our only WDW trip (been to DL 4 times). Proximity to EPCOT can’t be beat, Stormalong Bay is awesome (if you are in to pools) and then there is this:

BC is my absolute favorite resort. We also stay there if possible. We have only ventured to other places for a short stay.
That’s awesome about being able to cancel a bib with Acclaim! Makes it a lot less stressful when trying to figure out the work stuff.
Maelstrom scared my kids when they were little.
Thanks for sharing your TA experience!! I am definitely interested in this and will be looking into it a bit more. I want to call Disney direct and see what room rates are for that weekend.
Sounds super easy and I hope you get the BC since you really want to stay there!!
Were here other things you found creepy?Okay, so, when we do Disney (or any theme park), we mark our maps so that we know which attractions we did.
Here's part of our Epcot map from 2008:
In case you can't read Beth's handwriting, that says "very creepy."
I stand by that assessment.
Were here other things you found creepy?
“You are not the first to pass this way, nor shall you be the last."Not according to that map.
Nothing is (/was) as creepy as Maelstrom.
“You are not the first to pass this way, nor shall you be the last."
Do you have an assessment on the replacement? (I never went on Maelstrom but really enjoyed Frozen)In case you can't read Beth's handwriting, that says "very creepy."
I stand by that assessment.
Four of us struggled about half way through - don't think we would do it again but there was no way I was going without trying it at least once! Next time will be No Way Jose.Proximity to Epcot was definitely a big selling point (as was proximity to DHS).
Although I don't think trying to conquer the kitchen sink by myself is something I would ever do...

Whoa... New title??
(Love it!)

No Way Jose is the best! That is my post marathon treat! Well, it is my "anytime I am at Disney and can get a Beaches & Cream reservation" treat, lol.
I considered it. Hahahaha.Although I don't think trying to conquer the kitchen sink by myself is something I would ever do...

So ... I had both a really terrible week and a good week at work. Things went wrong and I still sometimes feel like I dont belong here, but things were getting better. Like ... a lot better.
And then today I lost my access to our team Github organization. Which is where we host our code. Which means that I can't make changes to the code or update what I'm working on (I can do it locally, but can't share it with the team). So ... yeah.
I know why it happened. We had a limit on the number of people we could have and we needed to remove people. I get it. They pay per person, and it's not cheap. But ... being a "non-essential" person who could be removed didnt really help with my feeling of not belonging.
Whatever. I'm sure it will all be fixed by next week. But this was not how I wanted to end my Friday.
I have been at my current job for about 8 months and sometimes still feel like I don't belong. It's hard to transition. Hope next week is better!!So ...

Sorry you had a rough week. I hope you find your footing there soon. New jobs are so, so stressful.
I'm so sorry to hear about the rough parts. I honestly think it took me about 6-10 months to get the hang of my current job- I work in a male dominated field and always felt so out of place. If it makes you feel any better, I also once got kicked out of a program based on users. I don't think it's anything personal! On the bright side, it's Friday! Woohoo! Have a great weekend!
