Weekend plans

[morganskye]

Yes I know it's only Thursday, but a girl has to have something to look forward to. ^_^

The never-ending feeling of exhaustion has finally passed. I'm still sleepy, but not so weary that I can't bring myself to do more than the basic requirements of my job anymore. This is good since I have a stack of reports to bang out. Thank goodness this is only once a year. The even nicer part is that from early Sept till January work will be 'easy'. More paperwork true, but it's basic orders instead of freaky GL reports and asset files. Ugh.

I'm going to attempt to get all the little/annoying jobs done around the house this weekend. Since both Barry and I are taking a mini-staycation next weekend I want to spend time with him instead of cleaning. We're planning on hitting Beaufort on Friday for shrimp burgers. Yeah, it's far to go for food, but damn it's worth it! Past that we have no plans, which suits me fine. I might drag him out for fondue one night as well.

I have an interview with AC Moore tomorrow. It's at 1pm, which means it's not late enough to leave work early. Boo. I'll have to take a long lunch and come back. I'll let ya'll know something as soon as I do. I'm putting a little too much hope into whatever PT job I get. After all, it's paying for Katsucon and the wedding/honeymoon. If I can eek out $1400 after taxes for the entire stint I'll be happy.

Speaking of the honeymoon, I went poking around the net for Orlando tickets. If all goes well we'll be able to use M&D's time share for our hotel. It'll cost us $150 for an entire week. Sweet! The room is basic, but it has a kitchen so we'll save a bit of money. I found a site called Orlando Fun Tickets that offers a 7 day Universal/Islands of Adventure pass for $110. Honestly, I'd be happy going to Universal and not Disney if anything because of the price. Yikes!! Anyway, we'll also end up getting Halloween Horror Nights tickets as well. Shoot, it's the reason we're getting married in October! We'll also get a few days worth of food passes since $50 a day to eat is reasonable in my book. Now I just have to save up for it. >_<

Man I could so go home right now...

Provided I get my internship (which I probably will), and considering my family probably won't go (cause their sad and broke), I'll be sitting on 5-6 days worth of 5-6 people a piece passes. Plus I get discounts on virtually everything park related, and some non-Disney related stuff. (Disney Employees get priority seating at Planet Hollywood @ Downtown Disney, and that's not the only place.)

Read the complaints if you can, I know for a fact (because we tried) you can't file a complaint with the BBB for a business that isn't based in your state.

Disney is like 3 meals a day, with atleast 1 being for the reservation-only restaurants, plus you get atleast 1 snack. So, 3 meals plus a snack, and I think it's less than $50 a day, and it's for *park* food.

Universal might be running something different, but it should be a very similar deal.

Boo to your family. It's such a great opportunity! I hope you get it. ^_^

I can't read the complaints, but the resolutions were listed. One was resolved, the other was voted in favor of the website. I'll keep an eye on them over the months. I still have aaaages to plan the honeymoon.

Cool! That's a lot of food. The Universal meal ticket is for only 2 meals, but you get to go through the line as much as you want. Now, is Disney $50 for one person? I ask because the $50 I listed in my post was for both B and myself. The tickets are $25 each.

[everyinchofme.livejournal.com]

No, Disney isn't $50 a person, I think it's more like $35, but considering what you get it's nothing.

Though I'll definitely look at the Universal meal plan when I go back because I'd love to do that.

[morganskye.livejournal.com]

Then that's an AMAZING deal. I can't eat out normally for $35 a day.

It looks like a good price if you're a full meal eater like me. My co-worker did it and she said it wasn't worth it, but she eats a yogurt and an apple for lunch. Big difference.

[everyinchofme.livejournal.com]

Don't quote me, but I'm certain that's about the right price. And I know from experience that eating in the park can cost you $10 a meal *easy*.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like that much food to me because I try not to eat heavy meals and just snack throughout the day. But I'd probably just snag some stuff and stow it away until later. ^_~

I'm hoping that on my next venture down there I'll get to do Universal, 1 new water park, a beach, and atleast 1 Dixie Stampede type place.

I'm hoping to get to the Pirate Adventure dinner theater. It looks really good. That or Arabian Knights. I've been to Medieval Times already.

I haven't been to the beach in ages, which is sad since I'm maybe 30 minutes away from a few decent ones. I guess when you live near the coast the beach loses it's exotic flavor after a while.

[everyinchofme.livejournal.com]

I heard that they aren't that great and that the food isn't that good, but I have heard that Dixie Stampede is the best by someone who used to work there, so that's my reason for trying them.

Though I love Medieval Times & Arabian Knights.

[morganskye.livejournal.com]

Really? Aw, I love pirates.

[everyinchofme.livejournal.com]

They didn't say not to go, but they said that the portion of food given and the quality was better at Dixie Stampede.

Well, I'm up for anything, so I'm happy where ever. I've never been to Dixie Stampede, so I'd be down with going. ^_^
