And don't forget that for most dates from January 2nd through the end of June, you can get 3 nights for free when you book 4 at any WDW resort. That works out to about a 43% discount.

Also, people who check in before 3/29 will get a $200 Disney gift card that they can spend on the vacation.

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

From April 25th to May 2nd, I will be staying at POP! :hyper: Originally, I was going to be staying at the Hilton free on points, thanks to Corey, but we crunched the numbers and with the 4/3 Promo, I can stay onsite and save on a 10 day hopper for use later, since I already have 5 days of park admission leftover from our previous trips.

We have not stayed outside of Disney's resorts since 2001. We had no plans to return to WDW together in 2009, but Corey changed her mind and we are going in October. During our stay, we will celebrate Corey's birthday :cake: as well as our 10th Anniversary. :love2: Corey and her mom's birthdays are only a few days apart. Corey's sister will bring her mom over to WDW and we will do the Afternoon Tea as her birthday present, since she loves going to tea.

We are going to use those Hilton reward points that I was originally going to be using in April for our October trip and that way, we will have a deluxe room for cheap and still have EMH access. I did some number crunching and it made more sense to do things this way. It also leaves us both with 5 day hoppers left over for use on a trip in 2010 or later....because you know we will go back! ::yes::

[jeanigor]

We're going on a Disney cruise (the podcast cruise) on May 10th-14th. We are staying the night before at the Dolphin and discussing whether or not to extend our vacation and stay for a couple days afterward, or go home on Thursday. Okay I know what I want to do, I just need to figure out if we can afford it.

For the 14th through the 21st, you can stay at Pop Century with tickets for $943.38 :)

If you only want to stay a night or 2, send me a PM ;)

Taking that much time off work would be impossible. I'm lucky enough to get away for the one week.

[soulmates]

We're going in August...staying at the Wilderness Lodge. This will be DP's FIRST trip ever.......beyond excited!!!!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

[MonorailMan]

Depending on my monetary situation I'd love to come back around Halloween. If I come alone I'll be staying at the Poly. If I come with Jeffrey again...........we'll probably be staying at the Poly, but I'll take his other suggestions into careful consideration.....kind of. :upsidedow

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

We'll be at AKV (concierge, so we'll be in Jambo instead of Kidani) from Aug. 7-16. :banana:

It is also my intention to go Dec. 2-7 but we'll have to see.

[Timrobb]

We'll be at the Poly from January 13 - January 20th in the Hawaii building!! We are beyond excited and it will be great to see Conck (David) again.

[koolaidmoms]

Hi all. Been lurking around the edges. We just booked a trip for January 18-26 at CBR (our first foray out of the value resorts) and are planning a second - a Grand Gathering in November for our ENTIRE family. We will be surprising kid on Christmas day with the news of the trip. We are heading to Miami in a few weeks for a conference and I think DS and DD are thinking we are going to WDW then. They will be disappointed but that will make this surprise so much more special! :)

[Saxton]

So far the only trip I have booked is February, staying at AKV - I had lots of points to use up so I'm staying concierge! I'll definitely be down for Food & Wine but I'm not sure when, we had a great time this year when we were down for Halloween so I may go with that time again. I'm sure they'll be a few other trips thrown in throughout the year.

[jenn&nelsonrego]

We are hoping to spend two weeks in late spring/early summer. We have DVC and AP's along with some credit on Southwest, so the only costs would be our rental car and food....

But this all depends on if/when we manage to conceive (it has been an uphill battle). I have a procedure scheduled for next week and if it is successful then the baby would be due around late August.... And that would make a June/July trip out... Maybe... :laughing:

So many decisions... Disney, Baby, Disney, Baby, Disney, Baby... :lmao: I am kidding, of course.

[Martinbez]

We're going back to CBR on 26th April 09 for 2 weeks, really enjoyed it on our honeymoon in 07. Can't wait to go back for Tower of Terror and Aerosmith. :dance3:

But you've got this all wrong ... it's not Disney or Baby ... it will be a Disney Baby!:thumbsup2 Let us know if you want any help picking out names - we're a pretty creative bunch.

My signature says planning 09, but I got accepted into college here, and I am not sure I will be able to go in 09 :sad1: Oh well, if not 2010 for graduation AND hopefully a new job :)

[Tony-NJ]

as of now - it will be the very end of Nov - early december.

[chip007]

We'll be at the WL from February 6th to the 13th. Can't wait.:cool1:

[kel&eun]

My wife and I are coming back to WDW in March 17th-24th for our honeymoon :love: our last time there was 2 yrs ago March 2007 of course we fell in love and stayed at PoP. It was my first time, Kellie had been a dozen times!!:rolleyes1 she's a pro! I can hardly wait to get back we'll be staying at pop again..only thing is a cheerleaders will be there for some kind of thingy or something who knows will find out I'm sure! :cheer2: oh rah rah! for us!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Well, we are booked for Aug. 7-16. DH will bid for his vacation on Wednesday and we MIGHT change our dates to Aug. 1-15 and not try to go in Dec. 2009. Lots of factors to consider.

[zeitzeuge]

It seems that the majority of everyone on this forum goes to WDW is that correct? We tend to enjoy DLR more, but that's us. We made three trips this year and can only afford one trip next year. We plan on going in October to DLR. Although we do want to get to WDW sometime within the next year and a half.

[OrlandoMike]

The majority in fact do go to WDW, but we do have some DLR resort fans here also!

I myslef like "Walts park" better.:thumbsup2

We love WDW! :lovestruc
Our friends have been trying to convince us to go to DLR with them, but we don't want to go. We have DVC so our hotel is taken care of, and we usually have annual passes for WDW. If we are going to spend the money on airfare then I want to go somewhere that I can spend a nice LONG time. The general consensus is that DLR is only about a 4 day endeavor unless you add in other attractions. I spent 16 days at WDW this summer and I still wasn't ready to come home! WDW is also my comfort zone - I know where things are, I know how to get from one thing to another, etc.

24 hours 'til vacation bid. :hyper: Can't wait to get those dates set in stone!

[kel&eun]

[RickinNYC]

We very likely won't be going to WDW in '09. We're planning a big two week trip to Japan in July. If we go anywhere else, it might be to Universal for a couple of days for HHN. Otherwise, because Japan is going to be so expensive, we will likely do weekend local trips, visit family upstate, etc... Disney would have to have GREAT deals and airfare would have to be stupid cheap otherwise.

[Uncle Remus]

I lucked out, bought a DVC 'n had to use 200 pts right away so I'm booked at BWV in May for the F&G Show 'n booked BCV (my home resort :goodvibes) for late Sep for the F&W Show. :cool1:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

We did end up changing our dates to Aug. 1-15. :banana: Now I just have to sort out the colossal mess I have made with the airfare. :headache:

[zulemara]

From April 25th to May 2nd, I will be staying at the Hilton free on points, thanks to Corey! I am going to go offsite for the first time in several years. I decided that it was time to explore a little more of Orlando. I have a whole week and only 3 days of park admission and several waterparks/DQ admissions. With the lack of nighttime adult entertainment on property, I might as well go see what else Orlando has to offer.

So far, we have no trip to WDW planned for the two of us next year. :guilty:
I am staying for a week from jan 14-21 before I check in to the college program. I'm staying off property for the same price as I could have stayed on property. Even with the 200 dollar gift card, I decided I don't want to give Disney my resort money since they don't care about my interest in night time entertainment. PLEASE send a letter to every exec you can to let them know you are staying off property because of the lack of night time entertainment

[OrlandoMike]

What makes you think they "screwed up"? We don't know that is going to happen to the location known as PI. It could end up being even better than the old venue. DTD in Anaheim is beautiful, and no clubs. I watched an interesting documentary the other day on the closing of the Roxy in NYC. The owner basically said the days of clubs are pretty much over, and he followed by saying you can thank the Internet for that. Time will tell if the new and improved PI is better than the old one, but until we actually know what changes are taking place, I wouldn't say they "screwed up".

[DVC~OKW~96]

Interesting OrlandoMike. Did they explain how the 'net had affected the clubs? I'm not quite following the correlation?

[OrlandoMike]

www. find a date . com! :lmao:

Basically they said people are meeting online, then meeting in person at coffee bars, wine bars, restaurants, stuff like that.

[zulemara]

they still alienated a certain population of their guests by taking it away.

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thanks! One part of it actually worked out today. DH is booked with miles. When I went to change the dates for his tickets the flights I wanted were gone. They were there earlier that day. :headache: I went ahead and switched the dates, but on flights I wasn't thrilled with. This morning the flights I originally wanted were available again with miles, so I immediately called and switched the tickets (AGAIN). :thumbsup2

The problem now is fixing the tickets I have for DS and me. Those are cash tickets that I already paid a boat load of money for. I bought way ahead of time because I was afraid they would keep going up. :mad: Now I can't decide if I should just suck it up and change them, or wait to see if the price drops so I can take advantage of the price difference to offset the $300 change fee. :sad2:

Blah, blah, blah.

Yeah. They screwed up. If only by closing the Adventurers Club.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!

And don't try telling me that what they bring in to replace it will be better, because it was perfect just the way it was.

[OrlandoMike]

One think I have learned hanging around the Mouse House is "Change is Good!" Not my slogan, but they are pretty big on mixing things up every now and then.

To quote Walt....

"Disneyland will never be complete. As long as there is creativity in the world, it will continue to grow."

Now while I will agree that closing the AC may have been a downer, you have to admit the whole concept of PI had outgrown its day. Anytime you have a venue at a family theme park where you have to hire 50 off duty cops just to patrol the streets is a problem. We could debate where they went wrong till the end of time. But I for one will wait to see what they do with that area till I pass judgment on wether is was a wise move or not.

Keep checking on the FL res discount, as well as AAA if you're a member. They've got the 4/3 deal, but that's only good if you're comming for a week (might save you money in June).

Also don't forget the first weekend of June is Gayday, so that can be a fun time :thumbsup2

And, of course, I'll go to the four parks. Have a day for shopping and "relaxing" at Downtown Disney. Have another for the Waterparks. It's gonna be fun. I can't wait :banana:

My boyfriend and I will be down with some friends May 2-7--staying at Pop Century Resort. This will be my 3rd trip..my moms second..and everyone else's first so I'm really excited. We're going for my 21st bday (may 3rd)!

Welcome and Happy Birthday!

My little sister's b-day is May 2nd, and Disneyland was born on May 5th :rotfl:

[rpmdfw]

Disneyland was born on May 5th :rotfl:

Um, no.

Disneyland opened on July 17th, 1955

They just started the 50th birthday celebration on 5/5/05

[OrlandoMike]

Um, no.

Disneyland opened on July 17th, 1955



Not according to Jurrasic Park! :lmao:


John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!

Dr. Ian Malcolm: But, John. If the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

:welcome: :bday:

I am going for my birthday this month as well!!! I can't wait! I hope you have a great time. :cool1: :cool1:

[Travito]

Thanks for all the bday wishes and words of welcoming!! I really appreciate it!

[ConcKahuna]

Um, no.

Damn their propaganda confusing me! :rotfl2:

I think my one bird was born in May, but I can't remember (I'm a bad dad). Now I have to find her hatching certificate :sad2:

[dmwang9]

Staying at the Swan June 24-July 1. This is my annual "celebrate the end of the school year" trip. I'm a high school teacher, and my end-of-year inservice ends on June 23. I'm on a plane to WDW the following morning.

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

[I<3EvilQueen]

Right now it looks like we have a week planned in late Sept.

You need to get into teaching marketing. When I was in HS I was a state officer for DECA (a marketing organization) and created a "conference" (notice the quotes) that required us to go to Disney...during school...on the school's dime! Haha. :lmao:

[Tony-NJ]

Made reservations for OKW in early Dec! I will also be staying at a DTD hotel 2/5 and 2/6 by myself. Added this on to a business trip - will visit some family during the day.

[IrishVW]

We're planning on March 14th-21st once I decide on a which property to stay at :)

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

From April 25th to May 2nd, I will be staying at POP! :hyper: Originally, I was going to be staying at the Hilton free on points, thanks to Corey, but we crunched the numbers and with the 4/3 Promo, I can stay onsite and save on a 10 day hopper for use later, since I already have 5 days of park admission leftover from our previous trips.

We have not stayed outside of Disney's resorts since 2001. We had no plans to return to WDW together in 2009, but Corey changed her mind and we are going in October. Our dates are October 13th to the 21st. During our stay, we will celebrate Corey's birthday :cake: as well as our 10th Anniversary. :love2: Corey and her mom's birthdays are only a few days apart. Corey's sister will bring her mom over to WDW and we will do the Afternoon Tea as her birthday present, since she loves going to tea.

We are going to use those Hilton reward points that I was originally going to be using in April for our October trip and that way, we will have a deluxe room for cheap and still have EMH access. I did some number crunching and it made more sense to do things this way. It also leaves us both with 5 day hoppers left over for use on a trip in 2010 or later....because you know we will go back! ::yes::

[xXbreboiXx]

I will be going the week of the 20th of Feb. through March 2nd.

[Maestro M. Mouse]

I'm hoping for a long-weekend trip in October for MNSSHP and Halloween Horror Nights at that *other* park. :)

[RAPstar]

I'm hoping for a long-weekend trip in October for MNSSHP and Halloween Horror Nights at that *other* park. :)

I was going to do that this year. Darn you Disney and you're 4/3 deal!!! :sad2: :rotfl:

[Pennajoe]

Hi there. Just found these boards as I get ready for my trip. Will be staying at the Boardwalk from Feb 19 thru 25 with my best friend and his husband (yeah I'll be the proverbial third wheel but its ok).

Haven't been to WDW since March 2002 (can't believe its been that long).

Hope to participate a lot on here - looks like y'all are a great group (been reading the boards for several weeks)...

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Welcome to the board! :wave2:

Feel free to jump right in and post with us.

[vaDisneyGuy]

We are going March 22nd through the 27 @ Sartoga Springs

[janner]

DP Maddy and I are using our Disney Vacation Club points at BoardWalk Villas March 8 through 17th. Both the weather and the crowd levels look to be in our favor during that time.

;.j

[DopeyDave]

I don't like this thread because I won't get there this year (2009). DP and I will be doing an Adventures by Disney "Viva Italia" tour and a visit to Disneyland Paris instead. Planning to do Food & Wine in 2010 (although he doesn't know it yet!)

[RAPstar]

Call me crazy, but I've moved to the Royal Pacific Resort instead of POP. It will end up being about the same as my Disney trip, but without the dining plan. But I'll have a nicer room....and I can still get into Disney for free on my birthday.

[dmwang9]

You need to get into teaching marketing. When I was in HS I was a state officer for DECA (a marketing organization) and created a "conference" (notice the quotes) that required us to go to Disney...during school...on the school's dime! Haha. :lmao:

Not quite the same, but I did once succeed in getting a conference I was helping organize to choose Las Vegas as its host city. :goodvibes

[jeepsrj]

I am going with friends for my second WDW adventure May 9-16, and my DP MIke and I will be returning September 4-13 four our second trip together and can't wait we are so excited...sadly he coudn't get off work to make the may trip...

[daannzzz]

I went in May of 08 for 12 days. It was the last I was going to be there for a long time as I bought a house the property tax is so high most of my travel is out of the question. In January our company moved to a new building. I was in charge of getting the new building ready, moving everyone and everything and restoring the old building. I guess the boss was happy as she gave me a trip for two to WDW!!!!
I am going March 20-28. I paying to upgrade to CSR. I have no friends that care about WDW or Disneyland so I asked family. My sister is going to try to go. If she can't my Dad wants to go. He is 82 and had been 3 times. I am continually amazed that he wants to go again!
Woo Whoo!!!!

[jlewisinsyr]

Tentatively Chip will be flying down on May 9th with his sister Aliza and her son Cole. I will be flying down around May 15th and will be staying until we all leave on the 21st.

[dmcuk]

We're heading back 3rd September for two weeks.

Although we're going to Key West for the last few days!

Can't WAIT!

Was Cole the same adorable kid he was down with last time?

It'll be great to see you guys again! :goodvibes

[jlewisinsyr]

Yes, the beautiful blonde 2 year old is Cole.

We'll be staying over at SSR (DVC Developer Points) but because Chip will be there so long he'll be looking for some get away time, so he might give you a call to go to the parks or something and once I get down there, I'll definately give you a call.

Side note, Aliza's husband (Cole's father) might be stopping in for a few days as he's coming home from war in a few months. So if he's there, you'll know where Cole gets his good looks from.

Was he there last time too? If so I saw him :rolleyes1

[RemixBoyNJ]

Hi everybody :)

Tim and I will be returning to the world from Oct 16th to Oct 24th. Originally this was suppose to be a grand gathering.. but for various reasons people backed out... so right now its definitely the two of us. This will be the first time we are going down around Halloween time and can't wait to check out all the festivities :)
We will be staying in All Star Music


Adam

[jlewisinsyr]

Was he there last time too? If so I saw him :rolleyes1

No, he wasn't there last time, he has reddish blonde hair, taller and built.

[gotrojansgo]

My mom and I will be driving down to Orlando after I get out of school (my younger brother is going to catch up with us later) and we're going to be hanging out in Disney World for 2 weeks, May 31-June 11 at Old Key West and then the Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs. I'm so pumped, I haven't been to Disney in the summertime in years.

[OrlandoMike]

When do the Treehouse Villa's open?

[gotrojansgo]

June 1 is the first day, but we're staying June 7-11.

[nutmegg]

I'll be staying at ASMu March 21-29 with my GF. It will be her 2nd trip down to WDW (first was with my 6yr old niece and mom) so this one should be alot of fun!

I've been MIA for awhile (since my last trip last July, I believe)...but am planning my first SOLO trip for this August. I'm psyched and nervous...last year was a hard year in the ladies department for me, so I'm overcoming that and trying to be independent and all that snark...and what better way than to go to my favorite place all by myself for a little R&R....Yay!

If anyone's going to be there from August 3-10, I'd love to meet up!

[pixierella]

The hubs and I will be there from Oct25th-Nov1st celebrating our 8 year anniversary and Halloween!

[s2turk]

I know I'm the oddball here, but we'll be in Disneyland September 9th-14th. We'll be attending the D23 Expo off and on for 4 days, DL and DCA and will also be getting to experience Club 33 on Saturday night for dinner thanks to an incredible forum member.

We've also decided that 2010 we're finally making a trip to WDW. Thinking of a Land/Sea package.

And yes, you ARE an odball! But not because you like to go to Disneyland.

[zeitzeuge]

I'm going to rub Club 33 all I can! woohoo! Did I mention we're going to CLub 33?

Yup, Club 33.

And in case I forgot, we're going to Club 33 for dinner.

Don't forget.

Wait, I'M an oddball? Pot.......meet kettle. :rotfl:

[OrlandoMike]

Anaheim (AP) March 15, 2009 - Club 33 to go down for refurbishment.

The famous private club at Disneyland will close for refurbishment on September 1, 2009. Disneyland officials hope to have the club open on October 1st 2009. Officials will not comment on the changes being made to the club.....

[colaboy29]

I had a private tour of Club 33 a few years ago. Since it was closed that evening we could walk around and examine everything. Even got to walk out to the upstairs "Veranda" on the Blue Bayou side. :)

I cannot wait to just be surrounded by the Magic!!

[OrlandoMike]

Ya Wilderness Lodge is one of my favorites!

You will have a great time! Now start posting more! :thumbsup2

[Sphyrna]

WL is very nice. I stayed there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I liked it better than Beach Club where I stayed at my last trip. Although I liked the location of Beach Club more. So convenient to get to Epcot for dinner.

We both love how relaxing and laid back it is. Even though this trip will not be anywhere near laid back!

[chwgmjay]

I'm taking my first trip September 21-28. Staying at YC (this is apparently where the Disney Institute selected for me to stay... I'd prolly rather be at POR based on the architecture, etc.) I will be in class the 23-25th and on my own the rest of the time... It'd be fun to hang out if anyone else is going around that time.

[PennyW]

We've decided on a last-minute trip arriving this Sunday, 4/19 staying until the 23rd! :yay::yay::yay:

That really does suck. DH and I had this happen twice to us! I will never again work where he works...too scary.

[PennyW]

Thanks for the well wishes :)

I haven't had to interview for a job since 1991, so I'm extremely anxious!

[Sphyrna]

Aww, sorry to hear that! That really stinks! What timing too! Good luck to both of you!!

[MuppetGuySF]

Hey all. I will be in WDW from June 7-15 staying at AKL. I can't wait. I've been to WDW just twice before, both for short trips and frankly not very well thought out vacations. Being a Californian, I have been to Disneyland many times, but I must say I truly love WDW, and I am totally stoked (yes I'm from CA...and yes, maybe trapped in the 80s a bit) to go. This time I have done lots of research (thanks in parts to the boards!) and lots of planning. I'm traveling with a friend who is well matched with my Disney geekiness, so I know we're going to have a blast. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Woo-hoo!

I know, I know...it was the only time I could take time off. Unfortunately, I couldn't travel a week earlier. And my friend that I'm traveling with is a straight one, so I'm not sure he would've appreciated gay days. I may try to make it for gay days next year. So, yeah, I'll miss the gays en masse, but I'm still excited for my trip :-D.

It looks to me like Mike wasn't the one editing that post to add people's individual travel information.

Since Mike is now the only MOD on the board, that may explain why it's not been updated.

[OrlandoMike]

That and the fact that Mr. Mike has been pulling 65 hour work weeks lately! :rolleyes1

And if I put all the fun stuff in the first post you wont read the hilarity of the whole thread!

Anyone else going this month? My partner Jack and I will be at WDW May 18-23, anyone else there at the same time?
We will be staying at the Polynesian. This will be our 2nd time together, we also went in September 2008 and stayed at CSR. We wanted to stay at a resort on the monorail this time since my mom will be with us on this trip and we wanted easy access to the hotel in case she gets tired and needs to rest.

So WHERE is my flashing "Happy Birthday" icon next to my name in the first post? Hmmmm? I am going to WDW for my birthday, so I need a little flashy guy! How can you expect me to celebrate properly without a flashy guy? :confused:

And you should add Soulmates so it doesn't look so bleak for August! :thumbsup2

[buckylarue]

Hi all! Haven't been around in ages (been avoiding the place since it depresses me to see all these people going when I didn't think I would be:sad2:), but just jumped on a cheap airfare for around my birthday for a solo trip. Will be staying at Saratoga Springs 12/6-12/11 (hopefully; could only guarantee the last 4 nights, so I may be homeless on the 6th!) Hope to see some of you there!!

[ilovemickeymost]

We are going for 9 days. I can't wait. I'm dragging DH along. I'm hoping he gets bit by the Disney Bug & sprinkled w/ pixie dust. If any of you see us there (I'll have the neon green mickey head on), please come over & say hello.

[jamieandben]

Oh.

Well as long as there are going to be cocktails . . . :rolleyes1

Did someone say Cocktails? Two of my favorite things.;)



Oh sorry you were talking about this kind:drinking1


I like that kind two.::yes::

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Mike, thank you for my lovely, flashy birthday decorations! :love:

We won't be going in December after all. DH's schedule has changed so unless he is on vacation he can't take off more than 2 days in a row. :mad:

But we ARE booked for June 4-16, 2010! :goodvibes

Of course DH doesn't bid for 2010 vacation until after Thanksgiving, so our plans could be dismantled. Stay tuned!

[OrlandoMike]

Vacation "bids" stink! You work your butt off for someone, and if you have vacation in the bank you should be able to go when you want...

Sorry you had to cancel your trip....

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

EVERYTHING at DH's company is all about seniority. Nothing is merit based, which sucks. But they do have a 100% work place rating from HRC, so that's something. ;)

December was never a definite thing. I would have liked to go, but it's not a big deal. DH gets 3 weeks of vacation in 2010 so he might do 2 weeks in summer and a December week. We shall see! He can only bid for 2 weeks initially, then after EVERYBODY has had a turn they go back through and let the guys with 3 and 4 weeks bid again. I liked that when DH only had 2 weeks, but now that he has 3 I wish he could bid all 3 in the first round! :rotfl2:

[SingingMUA]

Hi all...

Haven't posted to the boards in a while, but I lurk quite often. Anyway...

We are going in Aug for DW's bday (she will be the big 3-0), and again in Dec for my bday. Our stay in Aug is at the Poly!! :goodvibes We've always wanted to stay there, and we are now able to thanks to a bday 40% off pin code DW got. We are soooo excited. :dance3:

Any Poly veterans out there?? What should I expect? What can we do that's super special (but on a sort of limited budget)? I want to make her bday as special as possible. Wait... should I start a new thread and ask these questions??? :confused:

LOL @tinkerbell (and the scooby impersonation).

I just really want to be able to do something very special for her. I was hospitalized and diagnosed with Lupus 2 years ago (when we were supp to be at the World for MY 30th bday... obviously we had to cancel). Since my diagnosis and allllll the medical issues that come along with it, she has been THE BEST. She takes care of me when I can't get out of the bed because my joints hurt and I can barely lift my head from fatigue. She carries umbrellas over me whenever we are in the sun, to protect me. She holds me when I'm crying and frustrated over living with Lupus. She is learning sign language in order to communicate with me, since one of the things Lupus is affecting is my hearing, and I now wear hearing aids (that SHE paid a lot of money for). She makes sure I take the many pills that I have to take in order to manage my disease, and she just makes life with Lupus and life in GENERAL much better than I could have ever imagined. *sniffle* (uh... I'm not really crying... that's... uh... allergies... yeah, that's it) ;)


Ok I'm rambling... :upsidedow


Anyway, I thank God for her everyday, and I just want to make her day special because she deserves it.

Soooo, if anyone has any suggestions as to what to do to make this trip special, I would greatly appreciate it. I've been considering doing the new dessert party over at MK one evening. I know we are definitely going to check out Wishes from the Poly beach. Any other suggestions?? :flower3:

Wow.

It sounds like she's a wonderful lady! You're very lucky! (though I'm sure she'd say that she's lucky, too! :thumbsup2)

The Wishes Dessert party sounds like it could be fun (we haven't done it yet, so I don't know). If you're at the Poly, my suggestion would be to go to the Tambu Lounge for their amazing pina coladas. They're my favorite.

And don't worry. Magic happens very frequently at the Poly. It's going to be great!

Thanks!! :hug: I AM definitely very blessed to have her!! :goodvibes Thanks for the suggestion about the lounge. We've been near there whenever we've had O'hana ressies, and it's always soooo crowded. I guess it's very popular. Maybe we will still try it out, though. Neither of us are big drinkers, but we do enjoy a drink every now and again.

Anyone else have any other suggestions?? :flower3:

*grumble*

I hath been conned into staying 2 more nights... a friend actually got me a really good deal at Coronado Springs for the 28th/29th, and I got a direct flight home via Southwest for $32 cheaper than my original flight (including fees, etc. so now I have a credit for my DC trip in April). Looking at perhaps going to MNSSHP a 2nd time as well.

I booked all my dining reservations today, trying to keep in mind that I needed to work around my Disney Institute classes... hopefully nothing will conflict. So now I will be arriving in the afternoon on Monday, Sept 21st and departing in the late afternoon on Weds the 30th.

[Maleficent72]

Just Convinced my partner to go two days earlier...
Now it is a FULL WEEK at WDW and got all my ADRs that I wanted!:rotfl:

But still having to wait 90 days....oops I mean 89 days!

[xjrmssddeg]

I am going to be at WDW August 18-24.Staying at POP. With my family :eek: I really want to know what were we thinking when we decided to bring 4 more people along. So my mom and dad my brother and i . Are who would normally be going.Then we added on my two cousins on my dad's side they are 10 and 13 never been before (and i have never actually talked to either of them maybe hi bye how are you once a year or so) my friend and then my brother's gf is going as well. I may not survive this trip...

:woohoo: Best resort ever!

This will be my first time staying at the Poly. We visited it for lunch on our last trip (OMG - the Kona wings...), and I thought the resort was beautiful! Even though we agreed no more expensive resorts for a while, my DP suggested that I stay at a monorail resort for this trip, since she can't come with me because of work. And I jumped at the chance to stay at the Poly. :)

Have I mentioned that I am the luckiest woman on the planet?
