RN LOL, it would have to be pretty cold.
RN Whew! They all went home. Other than a meet&greet tomorrow, no dogs until Wednesday. Patsy and Dolly really need a break. Poor things are so tired.

RN They didn't even get up this morning when I did. And when they finally did get up, they went out to pee and went back to bed.
Now I have meet&greets at 5PM today and tomorrow, and Wednesday at 1PM. My dream is to have enough regulars filling my schedule and not to have to do meet&greets anymore. I have 22 repeat clients now, and I'd probable have to have 35 or more in order not to have to take new clients.

My answer to that would be no. That's the last person I'd want as a client.

RN Now today's M&G cancelled. See why I hate meet&greets? Why did he wait until the morning of to tell me? How on earth could someone "forget" like yesterday?

RN BTW, I haven't heard from Mr Handsome in a few months since he dropped his dog off here covered in fleas and ticks, and I bought all the stuff to fix it, and his dog chewed the dog bed, and I had him pay for everything. He actually didn't believe me that I found ticks on her. I just sent a message to him through Rover to see if he and Aurora are doing ok.

RN I just had to turn down a boarding request for a pit bull that is "male dog aggressive". I've learned my lesson. I'm not going to think I'm special and can change him.
eta: although I am pretty confident with potty training  That's a change I'm good at.

RN Mr Handsome wrote back. He said he's fine. He's just been a homebody.

RN, yeah, I know you want to build your clientele, but taking dogs/customers that are going to be a PITA may not be worth it.
You ARE special. Reserve yourself for the right clients!

The other part is we dont know if Bill can do some of the rides. We are pros at Disneyland but feel like fish outta water here. I'm sure after the first 4 days we will get the hang of it. It is just the having to do so much in advance while not knowing

RN, Pamy, I am/was friends with Jason Cochran, who posted here with us for many years. I can't recall now what his username was, But he was a big traveler guy, and he went on to become even bigger on Frommers to where he is now a top muckety-muck at Frommers. He is a HUGE expert on Disneyworld and how to navigate it, and might even be able to get you some freebies with all the publicity he has given Disneyworld over the past 20+ years via his Frommers articles. I bet he would remember you from here, because you are a memorable person. Oh, and his username here is going to pop into my head any minute; I just know it.
I found out he was coming to San Francisco (apparently around 2019) through some message board or other and contacted him to say we were living in San Francisco. We took him on a tour of our favorite places in SanFrancisco, and he is now also a travel expert on San Francisco. And I just found a photo of the two of us: 
Anyway, I betcha he would be willing to answer any and all of your questions, and maybe, just maybe, he might be at DisneyWorld when you are, and maybe could even make a Frommers article out of it. Want me to contact him, counting on the possibility he still has the same e-mail address, but I bet I could still reach him anyway. Oh, well, hell, here he is: https://jasoncochran.com/
When are you going, and do you want me to put him in touch with you (and when I do, I would like to include a link to your Facebook, so he can see he would be preaching to the choir)?
We are leaving tomorrow for South Padre Island, TX for the next three months, so will be very busy the nest few days, You can let me know here, but also remind me on email to get on it as soon as I can. It is a match made in heaven, and I am pretty sure he would love to talk with you.

Pamy, feel free to ask me about the rides, if you'd like. I was there just 2 years ago, and found a website that rated all the rides for discomfort level, and also described in detail why they gave it that rating. Happy to share my experience with you, and that website, if you'd like.

Kar, yes would love the site. I have a friend that goes 4 tyimes a year so she has been helpful and we are watching utubes of the rides. Plus I have a big disney book the size of a bible LOL There are only 3 that I am concerned about. We dont plan to do coasters except for hopefully tron and guardians.

the other thing is bill is in a scooter and i read that some rides dont accomodate electric scooters you have to transfer to their wheelchair which sucks cuz of my carpal i dont really want to push him.....we have 8 park hopper days so the good thing is we can take it slow and dont have to cram it all in a day . we are staying at yacht club so can walk to epcot and back for mid day breaks

Sounds like you have most of it figured out.... when I'm on my laptop, I'll send you the link.
I didn't do any Coasters at all... not tron or Guardians either, but I have generalized pain, so I didn't think all that motion would be a good idea.
I did do the one in the Harry Potter world tho, that was great fun! Kind of a mild coaster.
