FloPAX 2014 - Fucking exCUSE me?

rhylith

Disney it is!

If MK isn't blocked we could make a pretty good day either at MK or park hopping from Animal to Hollywood.

Sucks that they're blocking saturday epcot this time! But I got my flight for Monday this year so I can stay as late as we want on Sunday.

Sorce

Not going to be available on Saturday, so I abstain.

Quoth

Raph is 3 and fairly short but also fairly chatty. He may be able to pass.

Sal

Oof, ok, plane ticket prices are really tough this year

I'm going to make a final decision tomorrow... hopefully I can fit it into the budget

Jasconius

i would vote for #2 as well as my SO is a disney nut and also cheaper. nothing against universal, just dollars

Stareosarus

I also vote for #2 because that means a better budget for Epcot food.

DHS Odium

Also what's the verdict of SO's attending - they just have to pay their own way, right? Lex has never been to any of the Disney parks and wants to go, plus she gets along with all of you that she met. I'm not sure it's the best time for an intro to Disney since we'll be in a slow lumbering group, but either that or maybe another time we can visit and go with the locals.

Sheri

Lex and I have been discussing.

M.D.

hmm i would like to do this maybe, i'll see how my schools is

rhylith

Are we staying at one of the all star resorts again?

Who wants to room with me?

Sal

I really hate to do this

I've been going back and forth on it for the past couple of days, but unfortunately tickets are just too expensive this year, to the point where it would cost more to make it down to you guys than it did to get to Prime

It's a real bummer and I'm sad I'm not going to get to see you guys this time

crwth

sal did you mean to say

can't wait to see you guys this year at flopax, an event i'm definitely attending

crwth

i know autocorrect can make things tricky

Sal

it's those new iOS keyboards man, shit be crazy

Ruckus

I wish I could go again, but sadly I'm poor; also that's Thanksgiving weekend/my birthday weekend and I've got various commitments. But mostly I'm poor.

[edit] Oh god I just read the menu and it's making it so hard not to just max out my credit card.

Javen

Is there anyone who needs lodging and will be staying on property this year? Let myself or @Sheri know and we can help you guys book your rooms at a discount.

Jasconius

i haven't booked anything yet. i was thinking of going cheap, will look at booking this week

is there an official itinerary yet? I got the sense that things were in flux still

Zen Vulgarity

fuck me i am working too much

rhylith

Yeah I need a hotel. I can split a room with someone if they need it.

I'll also need the magic express so I don't get slammed with a 70 buck cab again.

Quoth

I also have no place to stay and defer to your expertise in knowing the best ways to do things. We can fit at least one person in our car for transit purposes to parks.

Jasconius

unless a good deal can be found on-location, a couple weeks ago I found Marriott Courtyard for 87/night which is a damn fine rate (if it hasn't changed). The rooms are nothing fancy, equivalent or half a peg above the budget disney resorts

and I could take two PA passengers from there to the parks, and I'll handle the parking $

Sorce

I was thinking about getting a hotel Sunday night so I don't have to drive home. Is there one that everyone is staying at this year?

rhylith

Last couple years we've stayed on site at one of the all stars.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. All-Star Sports, right?

Sheri

I might have some bad news. I'm not seeing availability at all for most of the value resorts - for full paying guests. I see nothing available at the cast rate

rhylith

I can start looking around for a hotel for myself if we're not getting the whole crew together at one place again. Just lemme know.

DHS Odium

Let's set up a tent city behind Sheri's house.

Javen

It looks like there are some rooms available at or around the place we stayed at a few years ago by DTD, but they're all 2 beds.

Sheri

The hilton we stayed at a few years ago did a AAA discount that was better than the cast one

Also there may be a few preferred rooms available at all star sports? But only for rack rate, not for our discount.

I'll check again today

Hey @rhylith when do you fly in/out?

rhylith

Sent a pm!

Kilroy

DHS Odium

Goddamnit your av

I was like "wtf @Abracadaniel‌ we already know you're going"

DHS Odium

I don't know about anyone else, but I think we should all go to one of the resort hot tubs and pools one evening. I'm all about hot tubs - does anyone wanna tub with me? Let's tub.

That Dave Fella

I'll come to flopax if @crwth isn't there

crwth

is this because i made fun of the craic

That Dave Fella

it's cause you're shite craic

crwth

no way im good as hell craic

Sheri

I do not approve of bringing 15+ people to a resort hot tub

Especially if you aren't paying to stay at the resort

That's a dick move
