Something About Nothing............ #14

[Disxuni]

Good advice! My daughter mentioned the same thing to me... if we go, don't act scared or they will come for you. LOL!

Exactly.

Some people will tell you they don't care and will scare anyone. I'm sure that is the case to some, but from what I've noticed they seem to focus on people who seem easy, or seem oblivious of their surroundings. Typically, on the few times I've went, I've barely had any interactions with scare actors when walking in scare zones. It's been quite a few years though. However, I've been told it's tamed down compared to previous years in the last few years since they introduced Stranger Things. However, there are others that are more experts than I am.

Much better than the yogurt I'm currently eating! Can I have seconds?

We love it! The weather is hot, but not surface-of-the-sun, crowds are manageable and the prices are not as high as summer months.

That's what I'm afraid of..... we had snow over the weekend. I don't see any sign of daffodils or crocuses yet, which are usually the sign that Spring is near.

I've never been during that time and it's on my bucket list!

Yes! Seeing the videos of HHN, watching the countdown several times online, I would probably run the other way!

Thank you!!

There’s always seconds available here.........

Don‘t believe all you hear they’re soft on folks who walk with a purpose.......we’ve seen big bulky men (and women) get a fright from SA who really can sense when you’re trying to look “not scared”.

We have several friends who’ve been SA for many years and they go after everyone!!!

I’m disappointed if I don’t get at least 10 scares every night we go.....and we go about 9/10 nights every year.......I love scares and jumps......but, that’s one of the reasons I go. And love it.....

You should try it........

 

[schumigirl]

Keisha.......after mentioning to you we NEVER have power cuts......

Yep........we had a short power cut THIS morning......couldn’t believe the timing!!

It was a short cut......but all the same......famous last words...

 

[keishashadow]

Hey all! Moving slowly today. Think I may have pulled one of stitches yesterday afternoon when digging thru storage closet. Looks like things settled down overnight but the pressure bandage looks like something out of HHN.

Lynne we had lots of fun on macs tours over the years. I saw somebody mention they did see APH rates into September yesterday but didn’t specify when

HHN has ramped up on Twitter to posting every day. Wound be a real valentine if the wound announce something meaningful (first house?) on Friday, the 14th. A girl can dream

I did MG in 2017 and the parade was twice the night we went
It was opening weekend when I went

I did get a lot of beads
I drove from GA that year and stayed at RP

Yes, the beads do flow. Going to guess they don’t want women to ahem work it for them

Guessing they consolidated to cuts costs this year..

My dad still feels bad about it when he something reminds him of FOB, or I talk about MG in general.

Aw, he’s sounds like a sweetie. That is a great story tho. Hurricanes do tend to do some damage , both sorts

My eldest just went to Universal for the first time and another of my children will be going in May when we travel down to Florida. (my kids are all adults) We are bringing a Disney newbie with us in May so we will be doing a full week there so he can get the full experience. Universal will have to wait until our next Florida trip,

Majority of us have big babies I’m a grandma The group patiently sits thru me sharing

Mac Rose
Hope you haven’t fallen asleep waiting for me to return
If you are out for the night, come back in the morning and maybe Schumi will have a bacon breakfast for us

I like Mac Rose! Good choice

I got to the airport right at 11:30. Now I wait.....

You hereby get the good wife of the day award!

Mostly it was the coughing keeping me awake, but the cat was in rare form last night. He has a toy that is basically a ball that goes around a round track. It’s kind of noisy. He usually isn’t very interested in it, but around 2:00 it became the most fascinating thing in the world. He would hit theand then run to the other side of the house. The he would run back, hit the ball again and run back to the other side of the house. Repeat several times. He makes so much noise when he runs through the house that I’ve nicknamed him Thunderpaws.

Thunder paws . I know of what toy u speak.

The idea of people charging me with a chainsaw....albeit fake.... scares me!

And therein lies the beauty of HHN aah...all hail chain saw wolves lol

Mac can explain, she’s one of the Original members

 

[macraven]

I was up real late.
like in early morning houses putting out little fires
My cats were having a party...

But a late drop in here, is better than no drop in

Doing my usual thing when I get up
Drinking coffee and working on today’s crossword puzzle in today’s newspaper and wishing I had bacon to snack on

What name for our newbie?
McK, Mac rose, Rose, etc
Most of us have appointed nicknames
It’s a family thing

in my biological family, parents gave my brothers and I a legal name which was used for school, but called us by a nickname
It wasn’t until I was in 4th grade that I realized my real name was not Sissy and one brother was not Bubba

 

[Lynne G]

Yeah., Keisha, every September date I put in, only showed SMSM sometimes, and no APH discounts. Hoping they give the discounts with HHN tickets, on the HHN website for passholders, where I booked my SF dates last year. Really hoping to see September ones this summer. And yes, I am eyeing the last 2 weeks or so of September. Seems better, for one, magical month, and USAP fun extras. So, while I do have the first week of October booked, I may cancel if I get a better rate via HHN AP rates. Ack, hope you did not mess up your stitches. Woot, to be packing shortly.

Ah, now thinking if cheap enough in May? Kids both out the middle of May. Thinking maybe Mouse, but not sure. They'd most likely say yes, if last minute cruise.


Ah, lunch time once again, cannot come fast enough. Bright enough out, but such a gray cloud cover, no sunlight to see. Warm enough. 50 out says the phone.

And ooh, will not say the name, extended family called me by, when a youngster. Not a naughty one.

 

[macraven]

Blondie??

 

[schumigirl]

I’d love some houses to be announced this early Keisha.......yes, nice Valentines gift indeed! Hope the stitches don’t give you a lot of grief.......

mac.......mac rose works good.......or Mrose.......glad you slept a little later this morning........I don’t think any of my siblings had any nicknames as kids.......I know we all had an assortment of names for each other at various stages of life.......lol.......




Is it too early for curry.........yes, it’s only 4.30!!!

 

[Lynne G]

Nope, Mac, though neighborhood kids, since I was the only blonde one, called me straw head. I've always been blonde.

 

[DisneyLifePapioNe]

Hi Lynne, I’ve seen AP rates available for September, nothing for RP, HR or PB yet though.

 

[Charade67]

Hello. back again. I plan to spend most of the day in my recliner in front of the TV. I will probably take several short naps.

I'm casting my vote for MRose since we already call Macraven Mac.

MRose - The parks are so beautiful at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but also very crowded. We always went those times because other than summer (which is too hot for me) those were the only weeks my husband and daughter had off school at the same time. Now that she is attending the same university where dh works we can be a bit more flexible.

I didn't have a family nickname, but my sister often called by by a shortened version of my name. I hated it. It caught on with a few other people, but I refused to answer to it. B will not respond to a shortened version of her name either.

My poor brother was named after our father. To avoid confusion my paretns started calling him Buddy. It eventually got shortened to Bud. I have spent my lifetime calling him Bud, but when B was born I instructed her to call him Uncle John. I think my niece calls him Uncle Bud.

Time for lunch.

 

[Lynne G]

Hi Lynne, I’ve seen AP rates available for September, nothing for RP, HR or PB yet though.

Oh thanks, yeah I really want RP or PB, never found HR close to the other 2, in price, though if they are the lowest, I'd be there. I really did enjoy my pre-stay at SF, before moving to RP. I almost felt like I liked SF better. I am one of those, that keeps trying.

I'll leave it to all of you to pick a nickname! Last year when I was at Raglan Road I found a McKenna family crest, which was pretty cool. I had the picture as my avatar for a while.

Ok, just when I thought I knew Dis-lingo you all throw these new abbreviations at me, lol! If you don't mind me asking, what is RP, PB, HR and SF?

 

[Disxuni]

< Doodle

Started when I was a tiny one. Always gives different answers when I ask my dad why. However, it is suitable since he's always loved art and so do I. I used to draw all the time as a kid. I don't do it as much, but I zentangle when I get a chance since I discovered that. As for friends typically it's just my full name Rachel, but for the few people who decide to nickname me often just shorten it. So that ends up being Rach, or Rae/Rey/Rei/Raye.

Anyone can call me just about anything and I won't be offended as long as it's not meant to put me down, well... Except "mami", or "baby", things along that nature. Even if I get serious with someone I do not think I'd want to be called baby. I don't know why just something other than that. Mami and Baby are just my top two no names. I've had a few friends call me that occasionally, but those people are practically family, which that is what it is to some families, but for other people, nope, not your mami, or baby.

Royal Pacific
Portofino Bay
Hard Rock
Sapphire Falls.....

 

[schumigirl]

Mrose.....posted before I meant to.....

Those are some of the hotels at Universal.....all of those except Sapphire Falls have Express Pass......and we all have our favourites…...

Others are
CB....Cabana Bay
ES.........Endless Summer
DS...….Dockside which opens next month


The hotel stickies on the hotel boards have pictures and info on them all if you are ever interested...….


Curry was beautiful...….we are full. I`m burning candles now to get rid of the smell.....not that it`s nasty, but I like it gone. Kitchen now has the aroma of lemons, dining room smells like Christmas and the hall area is Christmas too......got to use them up while it`s still dark at nights....

Wild and cold outside.......getting fed up with this and we have another storm heading across the Atlantic towards us......lovely.....

 

[mckennarose]

Ahhh, thank you! I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any of the Universal hotels. Good to know!

 

[mckennarose]

I could use some advice from the experts....
One of my children is planning on Universal for our May trip. She is looking at tickets from Undercover Tourist, which we have used many times for Disney tickets, and she's looking at a 2 day park to park (her boyfriend is very interested in the Hogwart's express) and also one Volcano Bay day. The rest of the time they will be with us in Disney parks. We're taking a newbie who wants to experience all 4 Disney parks so we won't be doing Uni with them.

Does the two day park to park with one Volcano Bay ticket sound good?

 

[keishashadow]

Did a double take here. Advertisement for an electric razor positioned in front of a goat’s um nether region parts.
