Put us on the list of those who are getting to go on a great cruise this year but will still stay at home and pout with jealousy that ya'll will be in WDW.;) :sad1:

[JLDSMD]

if i know underdog, he was probably trying to figure out a way to get pop tart into the back seat of his parents oldsmobile vista cruiser station wagon.:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

So in other words, the Dawg was trying to Pop the Tart? :confused3 :lmao:

[goofyfreak]

I was going to look into that. Do you have an external mic for your computer? We had one for an old computer but never seemed to get it to work.

Karen, we'll have to look into this one. :thumbsup2

Our webcam has a mic in it. It works really well. The girls love talking to each other and getting to see each other often.

[minnieandmickey]

oops see pitty party below:lmao:

[JLDSMD]

And that sure wasn't going to happen...(not even with all the pleading and begging)

I bet he still pleads and begs, huh Robin?

[goofyfreak]

Your mom was pregnant at her Prom?

Or did you say she got pregnant at her Prom?

:lmao: :lmao:

Just Kidding.

That's horrible.:scared1: :lmao:

[minnieandmickey]

Put us on the list of those who are getting to go on a great cruise this year but will still stay at home and pout with jealousy that ya'll will be in WDW.;) :sad1:

Because they used up all their vacation time, the big whopping 12 days that they give us, and will be pouting alone in a school office., because they love us secretaries working on christmas eve!(ok I'll stop feeling sorry for myself honest:rotfl2: )

[DISNEYDUET]

You could have been Mike and Robins daughter at your age.

I would love to have Cassie as a sister!!! Does she need another bridesmaid? I'm pretty and throw one He!! of a party!

[goofyfreak]

It won't be long though. There are some parent's at Alex's games that act like they are playing for a college championship and she is only 11. Alex's coach is very laid back and wants to make sure the girls are having fun and learning about the game and doesn't run plays or anything so Alex's team has lost every game since the other coaches are much more set on winning. I'm not sure which is better because Alex and her team mates are getting discouraged. But she still loves the game.

I was surprised how laid back I was last fall when I coached the football team. I'm usually very competitive (go figure, right) and it didn't come out.

The boys played great together and listened to me when we needed to make changes. I think we just gelled so well, it was an easy time.

[Dyerneeds]

way too early to be talking about that.:scared:
although i guess his dad offered them $1500 for a wdw trip if they elope.
they said no.

[Dyerneeds]

I bet he still pleads and begs, huh Robin?

not bloody likley.:rotfl2: ever since i lost my hair and got that scar she wont leave me alone.:rotfl2:

Maybe you can take some personal or sick time and go by Shelley's office for an exam. She'll be working too.

Don't the schools close out there over Xmas week? All the schools close down here. Admin offices as well.

[DISNEYDUET]

:lmao: My dad offered Woody $3000, a paid trip to Vegas and a Class 3 aluminum ladder to elope! My mother offered a casket if he even tried it!

Schools close but Admin offices are open. Most of the time my VP takes off so it is just me in the office.

[minnieandmickey]

Oh and I found out that we classified worked for free on Friday. Our union has a grievance in place right now.:mad:

[DISNEYDUET]

Was that a jab at my possible misfortune? Bad form old man!

[MinnMick01]

Hi Carrie and Scott. How have you all been lately? How are the kids?

Hi Lori, we have been good. Busier then ever. How have you been? How are the kids? Our kids are good. Nothing exciting going on with them. Seems to be a slow time of year for them.

[DISNEYDUET]

Oh and I found out that we classified worked for free on Friday. Our union has a grievance in place right now.:mad:

:headache: Becky, Hope things work!!

[arielhead]

I was born June of 73 so my mom was probably miserable with me around their prom time!;)

I barely remember those days but that was just the start of mom's misery with you! I witnessed this and have the pics to prove it.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[Dyerneeds]

bed time for underdog.
good nite gang.:cool2:

[minnieandmickey]

:headache: Becky, Hope things work!!

I'm sure it will one way or another. As much as I have complained, which is a lot lately, I love my job. We have a great and very supportive staff, which is really nice.:grouphug:

[Dyerneeds]

I barely remember those days but that was just the start of mom's misery with you! I witnessed this and have the pics to prove it.

before i go.....we need to see these pics. post them so i can see them tomorrow.:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

[arielhead]

I feel your pain. We only have to make up a certain number of snow days built into the calendar, but our state leg. has a decision to make soon about adding a couple more days to our calendar this June!:scared:

[minnieandmickey]

bed time for underdog.
good nite gang.:cool2:

Night Mikey!

Our govenor has decided to cut millions out of the education budget, all the while making comments that he wants to make teachers responsible for what scores their students test at. Unfortunately he doesn't take into consideration the huge migrant population, the even larger EL population, and the special ed population. Doesn't seem fair to me.

[arielhead]

We have the small town problem. Everyone knows everyone and positions to get their kid on "the" team. The political who's who is always at play. THe muckety mucks stack their team and put a couple of token, quiet "nobodies" on it to justify themselves. We just try to stay out of the mess and let our DD and DS play. (I know that sounds cynical but it has been happening for years!)

DD is finally old enough to play on the one school teams now. She is decent but always sweats through tryouts. She finds out tomorrow whether she made the softball team. This sounds mean but we keep trying to count girls to see if the cut will go deep enough to get her.:sad1:

[JLDSMD]

Thank God it is after 9:00!:eek:

Actually it was before 9:00 here, but we won't tell anyone. :rolleyes1

[JLDSMD]

not bloody likley.:rotfl2: ever since i lost my hair and got that scar she wont leave me alone.:rotfl2:

Mike, you're really dedicated to the DIS. After all, you're typing while sleeping because you're in dreamland. :rotfl: (j.k.)

NCLB--same boat! While "they" play the numbers testing game, our students suffer. We're currently getting trained on all these new initiatives without the materials to implement. We're afraid that since we're trained the teachers will be blamed when the iniative doesn't work miracles. Our principal is wonderful and gets us what she can, but that's as far as our support goes. (Our last trainer got $6,000 per day plus travel $. I googled her and found out much more about her fancy horse farm than her reading expertise!):eek: :sad2: :guilty: :sad2:

Do you have access to the internet? I'd be DISing then. :thumbsup2

I was going to be a little more crude with it, but I thought I'd hold back.

good nite gang.:cool2:

Night Dawg. Talk to ya tomorrow.

[arielhead]

I promise not to vent anymore tonight!:goodvibes

I DIS with you guys to have fun! and put a smile on my face!;)

Just thinking about the cruise and going to WDW makes me happy!:hippie:

Good luck to your DD. Hope she makes the team. Let us know.

[JLDSMD]

O.K., gotta go crunch some numbers for people.

Talk to y'all tomorrow.

[arielhead]

before i go.....we need to see these pics. post them so i can see them tomorrow.:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

I'm still inexperienced with the photo bucket and am waiting on my sis to show me the way. She's probably not happy with my now!:confused3

[arielhead]

I will try to get back into goofyfreak's good graces!

I hadn't seen my gorgeous sis since before Christmas: she is beautiful! I have always thought so, but since joining the BOBalosers, she looks as good now as before the last two babies! Maybe even younger!:lovestruc


:woohoo: :woohoo: :cheer2: :cheer2: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[arielhead]

Good night all.

[minnieandmickey]

Night Tanya.
Well it's time to get inspired, Biggest Loser is on. Talk to ya'll tomorrow.:surfweb:

[MinnMick01]

First, thanks to all of you who continue to ask about my dad and Spencer.

My dad is coming home on Saturday! :yay: The nursing home decided that there is nothing further they can do for him and that he has improved enough to come home!! :banana: :banana: :banana: (And the fact that Medicare won't pay for him to be there anymore). :goodvibes Chuck and Tony are going to set everything up for him tonight. Hospital bed, additional railings for the basement stairs, & walker ramp outside. He is so excited to finally come home. He never thought he'd ever see his house again. Now we just have to get him to move from that lousy neighborhood they live in.:rolleyes:

Spencer is also going home on March 11th. :yay: He still has a few problems from the brain injuries but again, Medicade is done paying his way too. He will be on permanent disability too. He has come such a long way and looks so much better. He lost 65 pounds after the accident and put 70 back on since Christmas!! He never wants to ride motorcycle again. The outline of his body is still on the street where the accident happened. They must have used paint instead of chalk. He also said he will NEVER drive past that spot...ever!! He will live with his mom at an apartment (she moved out of her house because of the recent attack/burglary) until July and will move with her to Arizona then.

Thanks again for all your pm's everyone, the thoughts, prayers, and dust stuff and for all of you who contributed to the making of his cd's. He absolutely loved them all. :lovestruc

:grouphug: :grouphug: From us to all of you! :grouphug: :grouphug:

That is all great news. Feel free to pass our info onto Spencer and his mother if they need anything while they are in AZ.

[Karen Mouse]

"If" we come down, we would most likely drive down. I would like to take two weeks and I would need to have my car since we will be about an hour north of the WDW area.

If?:eek: ...If:scared1: ... you mean WHEN!

None of this "if" crap now Andy.

Yeah! - see I told you! - just like he said:rotfl:

[Karen Mouse]

Angelina is like our DS. I don't think he knows how good he's got it.

I'd say we shouldn't go so often, but that just means I don't get to go either. :rolleyes:

I know - I get waaay more excited about it than Ellis!:rolleyes1

Hey, on our noon news I saw a segment about a playground for "Seniors" in the UK, Karen, do you know anything about that??? ;)

Are you calling me old!!!!!!!!!!:scared1: :lmao: - yes I did see it. They are even introducing wii into old peoples homes to get them active!

The year was 1973.


Mike was 16 and I was 18.

Karen I'm so excited for you!
YIPEE!:banana: :yay:

thanks Rose:hug:

I think she really goes to that when she says she's going to the gym. :rotfl2:

Cheeky!:scared1:



If you talk to Suz, there is no "if" for us.

Thats our Suz:woohoo:

I was going to look into that. Do you have an external mic for your computer? We had one for an old computer but never seemed to get it to work.

Karen, we'll have to look into this one. :thumbsup2

Yer thats right,go get'em Tinky...:lmao:

if i know underdog, he was probably trying to figure out a way to get pop tart into the back seat of his parents Oldsmobile vista cruiser station wagon.:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

"But Robin love your just so shy you need to show your 'personalities' more instead of covering them,sorry i mean covering "IT" all the time"....:rolleyes1

Hey, no comments from the peanut gallery. :rotfl:

If you talk to Cuz, there is no "if" for us.

Some people would say they're holding onto hope that they get to go. I'm just holding on to my wallet after seeing those prices. :scared1: :rotfl2:

Has Tinky Winky found the purse?....:rolleyes1

Well, good morning:goodvibes ... I barely slept last night:rotfl: - Only 287 more sleeps til we fly:lmao:

[Verandah Man]

Holy Smokes people, I have nearly 100 posts to catch up on since last night, good thing I got up early this morning..............:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Oh yeah, Good Morning Everyone!!! :wave:

[Verandah Man]

I'll say bye Andy, but since it is three hours later and I haven't read ahead, I'm sure you came back online. :rotfl:



Only one quick post after we got back from our meeting we had tons of paperwork to look over and start filling out. This was actually worse than the first day of the school year. We left the school with an entire packet of papers. It does sound like the kids are going to have a great time however. They will be performing at, the Navy Pier in Chicago, on that Friday, during the trip.

[Verandah Man]

Just lots of rain so far. The high winds should hit around midnight tonight. Shadow is a good barometer and knows when something is coming. He is asleep on the sofa beside me right now so I think we are ok.


The thunderstorms came through here between 3am and 5am this morning. The thunder was so loud it woke me up several times and I can usually sleep through about anything.

[Verandah Man]

Better be kidding Mike or you may be wearing that tux one more time - in your coffin.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[Verandah Man]

Hey, May is the time the rebate checks should be coming from the Gov't. :thumbsup2

[millerpjm]

Rachel, if you were closer, we'd have you over all the time to watch DS! :goodvibes

Seriously, we don't have a regular sitter, aside from grandparents. It would be nice to just get out and go for dinner and a movie sometime.

How far away are you, again???

[millerpjm]

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Add me to the list of BOBers wishing they could go to WDW this Christmas but can't:sad2: ...we'd been planning a trip out to Arizona with a short trek up to DL, but I'm not sure that's even going to happen now. Darn basement...


On the plus side, we have this wonderful cruise to plan for in '09 that we'll be going on even if I have to get a second or third job to afford! :lmao:

Good afternoon folks...

I am waiting for the garden landscaper to arrive at 5pm and the "new back door" guy to arrive at 5.30pm...

It will be when they hand me the bill that I :faint:

I've also been checking out prices for Cirque du soleil and Blue Man Group, flexitickets and annual passes for Disney:rolleyes1

I started talking to Neil about it but his eyes just glazed over and big dollar signs rolled in:rotfl2:

School have just told me I need to make a "nutty profesor" costume by friday:scared1:

What the heck? - talk about short notice:eek:

I've hunted through Ellis' wardrobe - so far I thought of - white shirt - I can draw maths symbols all over it etc, a bow tie, some glasses with the lenses missing.

Can you think of anything else?:confused3

I also need help with the maths symbols and equations...

a + b = c
something = mc (squared)


what else is there???:confused3

Hi Cheryl...........Hazel says thanks............:goodvibes

[JLDSMD]

Let it slide mate it's only another £30....:lmao: :rotfl2: :lmao:

Yeah, and you don't have the luxury of the 0% on the Disney Visa. I probably would have let it slide as well.

You figure we have about 2 more months until it has to be paid. Then at least another month until you have to pay your credit card, so lets call it 3 months.

$60 over 3 months is equal to the interest on approx. $7,400 at 3.25%. If your balance is over that, you're better off holding.

If we figure you could stretch the final payment to the credit card company to 4 months (depending on the timing you cycle and when the pay in full date is), it would only be about $5,500 for the threshold.

[Cheryl N. WI]

Hi Cheryl.

How've ya been? Long time no talk/see.

Hi Jeff I'm OK how about you? I've seen you more recently than I've been on here. Rach told me there is a Who's going at Christmas list and that Karen is now going and you and Andy are both on the maybe list. Come on you guys join us at WDW for Christmas!

That you have. Hope you had a good time on Sat night. How was your first game? Sorry if your nose bled.

As for WDW at Xmas, it depends on who in our family you talk to. If it is Suz, we are on the Definite list.

Although, we will only be doing 1 day in WDW and it will be at the MK.

We'll probably come down for about 5 nights, but I'm looking at the price of hotel ON the beach in Clearwater and they are only about $160+ a night. We may spend a couple nights out there as well.

Plus, we may go in and out of Tampa again. Seems easier than MCO (cheaper too).

We probably won't stay on WDW (unless some DVCers want to sell some points - what are the number of points needed at that time?). We are looking at LBV (DTD) area and I-Drive. I think this will be more so a get some sun and visit with our great DIS friends trip.

I was going to say, the wife can't talk = heaven, right guys? :rolleyes1

What, no tomato soup with that grilled cheese sandwich?

I was just reading an article in our local paper about a restaurant that just opened in Milwaukee that specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches. They make them several different ways. One of their popular ones is grilled cheese with sloppy joe inside (they call it the Cheesy Joe). Looks interesting and a couple of us from work may drive down to it for lunch sometime. For the Milwaukee DISers, it is south of the stadium on Miller Parkway.

The Bucks game and dinner were alot of fun. It was great to see you guys again! Thanks for the tickets and the seats were fine, we could see everything great, it was just fun to be there, especially with such nice company.

Well I think Suz should definitely be the decision maker on the WDW trip!!When I booked our tickets on Midwest Tampa was actually more expensive than Orlando and they didn't have the Fri. afternoon flight that they have into Orlando either. I sure was glad I was able to use frequent flier miles for our tickets! Sorry we don't have any extra DVC points, in fact we are splitting our stay between a 1 bedroom for the first half of the trip and a studio for the second half. The points are low until the 24th and then they jump to the highest point category so we are borrowing from next years points too. I am thinking of getting us annual passes and then going back for our summer trip in June 09. I'm not sure how much time we'll spend in the parks either, I figure we'll start our day there early and see how the crowds are but there is so much other stuff to do as well as just hanging out at the pool and checking out all the Christmas decorations.

Hi Shelley Yep we're going, we have our plane tickets, our reservations with DVC and rental car all set already! We have been to WDW in Dec. and the decorations were awesome, but Rachel was too young to even remember them, but we've never been right over Christmas before. I know there will be crowds but I've been doing my research on how best to avoid them. Are you guys thinking of going for Christmas too? Wow this is turning into quite a good sized group of us :banana: :banana:

[Cheryl N. WI]

Hi everybody

We're back from the hospital..

It was all a bit wierd actually...

They did warn us that the tests are NOT considered accurate but gave an "indication" to which he was allergic to...

Brazil nut came back negative:banana:
Almond came back negative:banana: :banana:
Hazelnut came back negative:banana: :banana: :banana: .........

Peanut - came back grade 1:confused3 - this is what I dont understand:confused3 ... when he was tested last time (age 3 1/2) he was off the scale and graded as high as you can get... the grades are 1 to 4 - he was considered 4+...now he's a 1:confused3 ... they all told me that he wouldnt grow out of it due to its severity at the other clinic.... I dont see how he could have dropped to such a low grading from as high as it gets to a "minor" allergy in just 3 1/2 years:confused3

I would love to believe the tests but I'm really concerned that they've got it wrong.:rolleyes:

Oh, and they didnt test him for cashews:rolleyes: :sad2: - no chinese for me tonight then:sad2:

So, all in all, I'm not sure what to think! Am I being pessimistic and over cautious etc:confused3 , should I believe the new tests:confused3

I'm more confused than ever:sad2: I'm off to search the internet to see if theres something I havent already read:rolleyes: - I doubt it but its worth a try.:rolleyes:

:hug: Karen sorry you didn't get more of a clear answer. I was really hoping and praying you would have :hug: Have you learned any more in your research on the internet?

[Cheryl N. WI]

Yep! Trying to decide when best to go. I am looking at 12/18 - 12/23 or 12/27 -1/2/09. We need to be home for Christmas Eve and Day.

So to top the day off, and this is where I need the KK'ers help. Sean's uncle found Sean's grandmother face down with a thready pulse last night. They took her to the hospital, and her kidneys had failed. So now she is on dialysis. She is in her early 80's and has diabetes, so I have a feeling she wasn't taking her meds the way she should. They are trying to get her stablized right now so they can move her to another facility.
So...if you could say an extra prayer and and a little more pixie dust, I know Sean would appreciate it.

Becky we'll keep Sean's grandmother in our thoughts and prayers! Here's some :grouphug: pixiedust: for all of you

Thanks Cass! :lovestruc

[Tart Annihilator]

:woohoo: We get to babysit this afternoon while Michael & Court go grocery shopping.

Addison is starting her terrible 2's. When she gets mad...she spits. (Court said, "I don't know where she got that".) We saw her in action on Saturday. We had to hide our faces...we were laughing so hard. (MaMa & PaPa are bad) :rolleyes:


She just turned 18 mos. yesterday and is talking up a storm.

She is really testing them. :rolleyes:

[millerpjm]

Sure, I got a couple on photobucket already :thumbsup2


Happy...

Did anyone else notice the MINNIE MOUSE on the outfit?!?!?! :lmao:

Such a cutie, Cass!

[millerpjm]

Jen I hope things are getting better :hug: :wizard: pixiedust: The house I grew up in had basement problems and we would have to bail water any time we had a storm and we lost power. It was not fun!

If we can hold out until the 17th, we should be ok - that's the day we're getting all the waterproofing/sump pump installed.

[millerpjm]

Ok, I need to get back to work....yell at me if you see me on this afternoon!

[Tart Annihilator]

I did...No way did Cass buy that. :confused3 :rotfl2:

It must've been a gift. :idea:

I did...No way did Cass buy that. :confused3 :rotfl2:

It must've been a gift. :idea:

I think Rob bought it when he bought her the purple Minnie shoes. :confused3

I think Rob bought it when he bought her the purple Minnie shoes. :confused3

Or maybe Minnie is Kira's favorite character and Cass was willing to sacrifice for her little angel. ;) :cutie:

[Tart Annihilator]

A sacrificial Fo?

[Tart Annihilator]

Time to go prepare my house for hurricane Addison. :rotfl2: :cutie:

later.

[Cheryl N. WI]

yes I am from the Boston area. yes you need to go to the cape, Christmas tree shop, duck ride, some circle tour. Walt will help me remember what you need to do while there. He is a good tour guide. You are going at the right time. Diane

Thanks Di. So little time and so much to see. We will have 5 days there and are staying in Cambridge (staying right in Boston is too much $$, we have to save some of it for Mr. Mouse :rotfl2: ). I was reading about the duck ride and thinking we would do that, we have those here in the WI Dells so I thought it would be fun to compare and we definitely want to do one of the tours where we can get on and off at the different stops. I also wanted to get to Salem and was thinking about Plymouth. Is teh cape something we could do as a day trip?

[JLDSMD]

Interesting article. Maybe we'll have to have a meet there sometime and try it out :goodvibes Al would really like the Cheesy Joe, he loves sloppy joes and I don't care for them. I usually make them for him when Rach and I go up north to visit my sister without him.

Sounds good to me.

I know Suz and DS would eat there.

Nancy, you up for a meet there as well? Although we still have to do a Red Robin meet with you.

[JLDSMD]

I'm sure it was just a planning session ;)

No, ask Karen how many times they each/both screamed/giggled on the phone. I wasn't there, but I'm sure they did.

[Cheryl N. WI]

The shower turned out really nice. Which one of my boys said they helped? It better have been only Chuck because the other two couldn't even spell "help" in this situation.


My poor Charlie Tuna got slapped with the flu yesterday. :sick: I never saw him so sick. I've locked him in the spare bedroom, made sure he has plenty of liquids and a clear shot to the bathroom. :guilty: He's taking his first sick day in 14 years! I, on the other hand, make sure that I take all 6 sick days I get every year whether I'm sick or not! (You lose 'em if you don't use 'em.) He gets paid at the end of each year if he doesn't take any. :yay:

Nancy glad the shower was nice!

Hope Chuck gets to feeling better quickly :grouphug: pixiedust:

[JLDSMD]

Yep! Trying to decide when best to go. I am looking at 12/18 - 12/23 or 12/27 -1/2/09. We need to be home for Christmas Eve and Day.

If you go with the front dates, you'll miss us. No way we can go before or on Xmas. Not my choice. Heck, my parents are dead and my siblings are athiests (sp?). We get together on a weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It's Suz side of the family that screws everything up. :rolleyes1

[GOS]

Well, I guess you all are upset that I haven't been around and don't want to talk to me. That's ok, I can take a hint. I am just going to go and take my boy to school. My feelings are hurt.

No, ask Karen how many times they each/both screamed/giggled on the phone. I wasn't there, but I'm sure they did.

There is nothing better than screams/giggles between friends :goodvibes I was talking to Lurking Lynn on the phone Sun. night and Al asked me to leave the room because he couldn't hear the TV :rolleyes1

Speaking of Lurking Lynn she and her DH Chris will be at WDW for Christmas too :woohoo:

[Timon]

She is getting so big and starting to look like a toddler.

What a cutie. Uncle Mike and Aunt Robin sure do miss her. :

She still blows kisses to everyone who comes and goes :goodvibes I still can't believe you taught her that in like 5 seconds :lovestruc A wonderful KK memory :cloud9:

:woohoo: We get to babysit this afternoon while Michael & Court go grocery shopping.

She is really testing them.:

You guys sound like awesome granparents ::yes:: I wish my mom was still around, she would be in heaven with two little granddaughters. Her only other granddaughter came 22 years ago and that was the only one she got. All her other grandkids were stinky boys :lmao:

I tell Rob that if my mom was still here we would have no problem finding a babysitter. No doubt my mom would be calling us every few days exclaiming that we need a night out :teeth:

My dad is not around much and Rob's parents aren't as involved in her life as much as I thought/hoped they would be. I even let his mom watch Kira come into this world in the hopes that it would bond them a little more. :guilty: Oh well, she has an aunt that ADORES her :love:

Shel, you have a great memory girl :thumbsup2 Rob did buy her that outfit at the same time he got the minnie shoes :rolleyes: We are gonna get along just fine hun :goodvibes

No, ask Karen how many times they each/both screamed/giggled on the phone. I wasn't there, but I'm sure they did.

I think that's awesome that they are such good friends, although after meeting your wife (and Karen for that matter) I totally see why ::yes::


Paige..I love the monorail in your sig.

Me too, I love it!!! :cool1:

It's Suz side of the family that screws everything up. :rolleyes1

I don't think my 2 sisters that live in the area are too happy with us for planning a trip right over Christmas but our parents are dead as are Al's and we usually get together on Christmas and an additional weekend day sometime around Christmas so we'll just miss the actual Christmas Day gathering if we even continue it. Both my brothers are easy going and they said we'll just get together a different day like we usually do anyways. As my family continues to keep getting bigger as my nieces and nephew get married and have children it is hard to get us all together anyways. There were 33 of us at my sister's this past Christmas and that was with 2 missing because my nephew's baby was sick so his wife stayed home with the baby. It's a good thing my sister has a big house!

I am leaning towards the New Years dates. I know it's more money but it works out better for my work schedule. Woody commented on staying at a deluxe in a concierge room since we would be lounging around the resort more. :eek: He will probably change his toon when he sees the rate!

[Cheryl N. WI]

Which is better - dollar alamo or budget car rental?

we'd be collecting from mco.

We always rent from Alamo. Dollar usually has better deals but the cars are a lot older and don't seem to be taken care of. Just my opinion though.

We have been renting from Alamo lately too. We used to rent from Avis all the time but the last few times Alamo has had a much better price plus Al likes to be able to pick out what car he wants from the ones that are available, that way he can sit in them and decide which one gives him the best headroom. With Avis they would "assign" you to a specific car.

[Cheryl N. WI]

Karen I have extra coupons for car rentals from our Entertainment book. If you'd like me to mail them to you just PM me and I'll send them to you if you think they would help.

[disgrits]

Welcome back. Did you get all unpacked. How is your new house and neighborhood. Diane

Not all unpacked yet. Rob had duty on Saturday (7am-7am Sunday) so we weren't able to move around the heavy stuff. Since I'll be here 3 and a half years, I am taking my time to put everything away. I'll even paint some walls, too. The house is bigger than the one I had before and I only have one neighbor as of yet. The other houses are still vacant. Honestly, it's a great house to be in for our last years in military life. It is new and I have NEVER lived in anything other than substandard quarters when it has to do with military housing.

[Cheryl N. WI]

Its our birthday and xmas prezzies to each other and we'll have to put up with Neil working a few extra weekends etc, but its worth it!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1:

I wanna pack:yay:

That's what I'm going to tell Suz - we're cutting back on Xmas presents then.

If you're staying on WDW property, you could start making some door signs. :rotfl: (would just look funny if you're staying off property)

That's what we already told Rachel too, this is all of our Christmas presents. I'm sure we'll end up getting her a few more though ;)

[disgrits]

Paige..I love the monorail in your sig.

Me too, I love it!!! :cool1:

Thanks, I clicked on Jen's siggie and played around with it until I found one I like.

[Cheryl N. WI]

Gee, this really gives me something to think about. I'm going to have to ponder over this idea...........:rolleyes1 :rolleyes1 :rolleyes1

I told Hazel we could take our little 4' Christmas Tree down to our vacation home and have Christmas there this year................:idea: :idea: :idea:

Great idea Andy!

[Cheryl N. WI]

I may look that route then.

There is an Embassy Suites in Lake Buena Vista that has a breakfast each morning and a manager reception (drinks/snack) from 5-7 each night. It is not much more than the Moderates (only about $226) and it would be a two room suite.

I also saw the Hilton. I think that was $269.

If we only plan on 1 day in the parks, I'm thinking I don't need to be in WDW. Although, I've never not stayed in WDW when there.

Our first night in Orlando we are staying off property (we don't get in until after 6) so I have been checking prices. Dreams Unlimited looked like they had some good prices for before Christmas at a number of different Orlando hotles including the Dolphin and Swan and actually for Gaylord Palms too. I am tempted to book Gaylord Palms but for now we I have us booked at a Fairfield Inn on I-Drive so that we accrue more Marriott points.

[Dyerneeds]

That's what we already told Rachel too, this is all of our Christmas presents. I'm sure we'll end up getting her a few more though ;)

:lmao: :lmao:
2 years ago when we went down at xmas we had cassie with us. robin and i
took presents for her but decided not to take any for each other....
sure enough, around xmas day my pop tart says "i want presents":laughing:
so i snuck down to the gift shop and bought her a disney holiday watch.
:laughing: :laughing:

[Cheryl N. WI]

Me?.........keep a suprise:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

He hadnt even come through the front door when I was screaming "we're going to Disney for christmas" and jumping round the lounge:rotfl2:

I remember many a time jumping up and down in the living room with Rachel after booking a Disney trip!

I got a quote via www.usrentacar.co.uk for $440 for a 4 door for 13 nights



Wow $440 for 13 nights is great! We are paying $268 for 8 nights and since I booked the car rental the prices have jumped

[Dyerneeds]

for those of you going to wdw and talking of not going to the parks much,
we suggest not missing the studios osbornes christmas, or epcots holiday decorations and music. and of course the MK is a must see.
we dont care if we have to ride wedway(a family fav) all day. just being there during the holidays is great.:santa: :santa: :santa:

[JLDSMD]

Did anyone else notice the MINNIE MOUSE on the outfit?!?!?! :lmao:


I did, but wasn't going to comment. Surprised there wasn't black tape over it or a big hole where the patch was. :rotfl2:

[Karen Mouse]

Hi Karen

Well I guess we'll just have to talk to Suz about this trip then right :goodvibes

Glad to here you're going to be at WDW at Christmas time too :cool1: :woohoo: What dates will you be there? We will be there from Dec. 19-28 :banana:

We fly 18th Dec and return 31st Dec:banana: - plenty of time to get together for a mini meet:cool1:

Ready with a pillow and smelling salts!

Thanks Shelley - I think we'll need it...:rolleyes1 - he came up with some good ideas for the garden but no price yet.. not a good sign:rolleyes: - he's getting back to us next week:eek: - will it take him that long to add it all up:rotfl2:

See Cheryl, I told you.

Karen and Suz had a pig squeeling contest on the phone yesterday from what I could gather. :rolleyes:

Dont beleive a word he says Cheryl....Suz and I didnt squeel one bit;)

... I know there will be crowds but I've been doing my research on how best to avoid them.us

Where did you get your info? I'd be interested to know which parks to avoid etc

Yep! Trying to decide when best to go. I am looking at 12/18 - 12/23 or 12/27 -1/2/09. We need to be home for Christmas Eve and Day.

:woohoo:

:hug: Karen sorry you didn't get more of a clear answer. I was really hoping and praying you would have :hug: Have you learned any more in your research on the internet?

Not really:rolleyes: - its not as straight forward as I initially tought...I've learned a lot, but none of it makes any difference -We still need to avoid every nut:rolleyes:

Sure, I got a couple on photobucket already :thumbsup2

yes I am from the Boston area. yes you need to go to the cape, Christmas tree shop, duck ride, some circle tour. Walt will help me remember what you need to do while there. He is a good tour guide. You are going at the right time. Diane

I loved Boston when we went... we did the duck tour and went into the christmas shop. I was pregnant with Ellis at the time and I bought an ornament of a preganant lady from that shop. We hang it on the tree every year and it reminds us of our great holiday there.

No, ask Karen how many times they each/both screamed/giggled on the phone. I wasn't there, but I'm sure they did.

I told you yesterday....princess: 's dont squeel:goodvibes

Karen I have extra coupons for car rentals from our Entertainment book. If you'd like me to mail them to you just PM me and I'll send them to you if you think they would help.

My quote for 14 days comes to $440 approx for a 4 door basic car. I think thats quite good:confused3 We usually get our car through Virgin the tour op, but we found they were much more expensive so we're sorting out our own to save a few $$

[Dyerneeds]

What's better than a Christmas present from Disney while at Disney :thumbsup2

Actually no presents for Al and I is not very hard. We usually say our vacations or some other big thing for the house (like the big screen TV Al finally got for his upcoming birthday next month) are our gifts for each other and then we get something inexpensive that is "from Rachel". I'm just very, very happy to be going to WDW for Christmas this year :banana: Rachel wasn't too happy at first when we told her that this trip is her present, but I'm sure I'll be getting her a few things in addition ;)

Thanks for mentioning these other things Mike! We saw the Osborne lights years ago when they were actually on the backlot. I've heard they're even better now, we can't wait to see them again! We also want to do the Candlelight Processional at EPCOT and see the different "Santas" at all the countries. How about the Animal Kingdom, do they do much for Christmas? I guess we will be in the parks not just in the mornings but at night for some of these things too, more and more I am thinking of getting annual passes. Then it doesn't feel so bad if we just spend part of a day in the parks. Also all the resorts are decorated beautifully so we are planning on doing some resort hopping to check out the decorations.

I am tempted to book Gaylord Palms but for now we I have us booked at a Fairfield Inn on I-Drive so that we accrue more Marriott points.

I saw the Fairfield. We've had good luck with them. That is an option for us.

I didn't know Dreams had room only. I'll have to check that out.

[JLDSMD]

Wow $440 for 13 nights is great! We are paying $268 for 8 nights and since I booked the car rental the prices have jumped

Tell me about the jump in car rental prices. I can't believe it is $300 for 5 days right after Xmas. Tampa is about $50-$60 less. Oh, and the $300 doesn't include all the crazy taxes and fees they throw on there.

Guess I won't get $5.89 a day before taxes like I did in Feb.

DS LOVES the people mover. He could just sit and ride it all day. I would only hit about a couple big rides and that is it. We'd have to do Buzz for DS, as well as Splash, Big Thunder for me, Haunted Mansion for Suz, and Space if it is not too nuts. I will probably skip Fantasyland rides all together this trip.

I forgot about the Osborne lights and the Epcot decorations. Maybe a second day, going to Epcot during the day to see the different lands and then Studios that night for the Lights. Don't think we'll get on RnR at Studios though. However, if we go to the Studios, get the fast pass for RnR, head over to Epcot to view the decorations and then back to Studios that night, that may work.

I think AK, one of DS's favorites, will be sacrificed this trip. :sad2:

Where did you get your info? I'd be interested to know which parks to avoid etc

I started looking for info on Christmas on the theme park board before this past Christmas and then was watching for posts from people as they returned from their holiday trips and trip reports from people that went over the holidays. I also purchased Tour Guide Mike to see what kind of tips he gives (there's a link to it on the Theme Park board here on the DIS) I am also thinking of buying a book called Walt Disney World Peak Seasons: Maximizing your Disney Vacation by Scott Donahue It's available from Amazon or Barnes & Noble on the web. Even though we have been to WDW many times I still love all the planning and I like to get new "tour" books. I purchse a new Birnbaum guide almost every year :rolleyes1


Not really:rolleyes: - its not as straight forward as I initially tought...I've learned a lot, but none of it makes any difference -We still need to avoid every nut:rolleyes:

:hug: I was really hoping you were going to get better news :hug:



My quote for 14 days comes to $440 approx for a 4 door basic car. I think thats quite good:confused3 We usually get our car through Virgin the tour op, but we found they were much more expensive so we're sorting out our own to save a few $$
That seems like a good price especially if it includes all the taxes. That's better than the prices I get when I plug in your dates with the coupon I have

[Cheryl N. WI]

yes I am from the Boston area. yes you need to go to the cape, Christmas tree shop, duck ride, some circle tour. Walt will help me remember what you need to do while there. He is a good tour guide. You are going at the right time. Diane




I loved Boston when we went... we did the duck tour and went into the christmas shop. I was pregnant with Ellis at the time and I bought an ornament of a preganant lady from that shop. We hang it on the tree every year and it reminds us of our great holiday there.



Where is the Christmas shop you are both talking about? I love Christmas shops!

Goodnight folks....

Make sure you give me something to read in the morning:thumbsup2

Hope you feel better in the morning Karen :hug: :wizard:

Hazel just called and cancelled out on her class tonight, now I know she is really sick. Yep, just took her temp, it is 101.2.........:sick:

Hazel had her soup, now it's back to bed for her. Angelina is taking a nap and I think I might take a little power nap myself.............:faint:

These crazy temps, going up and down, are not helping one little bit......:sad2:

Hope Hazel beats this bug quickly too :wizard: :hug:


:wizard: Hopefully everyone else will stay healthy!!!!! :wizard:

Stay true to Mickey!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We stayed there last Oct - its nice:goodvibes



Thanks Karen that's good to know. It's always nice when you know someone that stayed someplace and says it was nice :)

[Cheryl N. WI]

I saw the Fairfield. We've had good luck with them. That is an option for us.

I didn't know Dreams had room only. I'll have to check that out.

When you go to their homepage scroll down towards the bottum and they have a section Orlando hotels near Disney. I'm still tempted to book the Gaylord Palms and see what that is all about. For the night of Dec. 19 I can get it for $209.60 including tax but that is almost double what we'd be paying at the Fairfield Inn on I-Dr. but it is only 1 night :confused3

[Cheryl N. WI]

Tell me about the jump in car rental prices. I can't believe it is $300 for 5 days right after Xmas. Tampa is about $50-$60 less. Oh, and the $300 doesn't include all the crazy taxes and fees they throw on there.

Guess I won't get $5.89 a day before taxes like I did in Feb.

Wow the $268.40 I have for 9 nights is including all the taxes and fees. The only problem I have is I booked the car rental before the tickets on Midwest (they were available earlier and it was a good rate, I'm glad I booked it when I did) and we were originally thinking we'd take the evening flight so I have it reserved that we'd pick the car up at 10:30pm but then we decided to go with the afternoon flight so we'll actually be picking the car up around 6:30pm. When I try and change my reservation on line it looks like it will change the price to what the rates currently are at. I need to call Alamo and see if they can change the time for me without changing my rate. Otherwise we'll have alot of time to kill in the airport that first night.

Mike are you and Robin staying on property?

I was glad we had frequent flier miles we could use to get our tickets! I was amazed at how the prices for inflated for flights over Christmas vs. the week before :scared1:

I'm always a little leary about booking a flight this soon. The cheapest I've seen is $303. p/per. That's more than we paid the last trip. We may just keep an eye on the prices and if we don't find anything...Mike said he'd rather drive. (I'm not crazy about that idea... but we'll see)

When are you guys going to be there?

[Cheryl N. WI]

Dec. 20 - Jan. 4

Do you have annual passes? Do you usually go into the parks everyday? We had gotten annual passes a few times in the past and had 2 trips within a year and I am thinking of doing that for this trip(thinking of going back June '09), that way we could go into the parks even for a few hours and not feel like we're wasting a day on our passes.

[Cheryl N. WI]

When are you guys going to be there?

We'll be there Dec. 19-28 :banana: at Saratoga Springs

We are used to paying around $200.00/per for our airfares to MCO. When I got our tickets if we would have paid cash they were $397.00, I just checked again and the same flights we have if I were to pay cash today the tickets are up to $475.00/person :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: People told me they are just so $$$ because it is over Christmas.

We have decided on 12/27-1/3. We are going to drive down. Only 11 hrs. We will probably drive down to SC, about 8 hrs and stop for the night. Drive the rest of the way the next day. Now we need to decide between Pop or POFQ. Robin y'all want some company over at Pop? :laughing:

Hey all so I guess that the

EBPC is KK1 1/2
Christmas at WDW is KK1 3/4 ?

I really wish I could join all of you for Christmas, will definately be thinking of all of you. We did NYE in 06 and it was a blast, and the parks and hotels were gorgeous.

[DISNEYDUET]

Shelley are you going for sure now or do you still have to wait until May to know?

I feel like I need to book our room now. I am scared of being shut out! I can always cancel it if I have to. :rolleyes:

We have annual passes and we go to the parks every day. :thumbsup2

Can't get enough of it. When we go this long, we just leisurely walk around the parks and enjoy the ambience. (sp) :cloud9:

I was picking up my paycheck this morning just as my boss' secretary was heading home, she believes she was coming down with the flu.

I saw on The Weather Channel that the flu is widespread in every state but Florida.


Lets go to FL

Hi Andy

[DISNEYDUET]

Why, because Mike will be there. :lmao:

Esp. because Mike is there! :thumbsup2 Although I hear his Pop Tart cracks a mean whip! :rotfl:

[Tart Annihilator]

That's why we jumped on it so fast. I would really prefer staying at POFQ, but 15 nights gets rather pricey.

Pop Century will suit our needs just fine. Besides, every time we've gone down at Christmas, we've always found discounts on hotels for passholders prior to leaving. If we come across one, we can always change our reservation.

We'll keep you posted, if we do. :thumbsup2

Hi There Ed----we were scheduled to leave for Florida next week, but Angelina threw such a fit about going that I just cancelled the trip. Hazel and I will be going down in May while Angelina goes to Chicago for five days with her high school band and choir.

We did that a few years ago. Had to split up our stay and had 3 ressies. One before Christmas, one during and one after. Woody said I need to keep it under $200 per night. So we could do either Pop or POFQ.

Right now the price is....

Some nights are $129, some are $139, and Jan. 1, 2, & 3 are $84.

So I figure we'll see a discount between now and then. :goodvibes
