Our little thread of BIG Resort Changes~2013 Spring RC installment

[letthewookiewin]

Hey everyone. I am popping in to say I am considering a quick 3 night trip with Lily. We both need a break from all the family drama and stress and I think some one on one time with her momma would be excellent for her right now. Pricing things out and looking at our options.

I hope y'all can make it work.

 

[letthewookiewin]

My iddy biddy 4 pound baby just shaved for the first time. Ok, well he isn't 4 pounds anymore, more like almost 5'11", but he's still my baby. The coaches told him, if he wanted to participate in the Spring Session mini-football camp, getting ready for next season, he had to shave.

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

Hellllllllllo Spring 2013!!!

Aunt Deena checking in!! I miss my little ladies so much!! Jeanette, please give them a hug from me!!

I went to Flower and Garden today!!! What a treat!! I'm totally loving the new booths in the World Showcase!! The new slushie in France was amazing, I loved the potato pancake over by Germany, and China had the most amazing candied strawberries!! We tried some other stuff, but I need to get my camera out to see what everything was. The slushies (yes multiple) fogged my memory

Not much else is new here. Keeping busy and playing in the parks! I hope everyone is doing well!!

Can not wait for the pictures!

That sounds SO sweet and special!! I would love to do a vow renewal at Disney sometime. We got engaged at Epcot at Alfredo's in Italy when it was still there. Our reception had a complete Disney theme as well.

How fun!

Iheart: So glad you are back and everything is ok. I think what you are planning sounds so wonderful and magical! What a lucky DH!


Well...no changes here. I am boring with a Capital B. I really wanted to tell the girls about our trip tonight. DH and I were the 'judges' in their Doll Fashion Show, and I would've just loved to spring it on them. DH nixed it though...and gave me the "All in good time my dear" line.

Waving hi to all.....hope everyone has had a good day. Only 15 days till Spring!!

Jen

DH is truly the more sentimental/emotional one of us, so I think he will be a puddle of tears. <in a manly way >

How did I miss that this is another surprise trip? How cool! I wonder if they make I'm going to Disney World shirts that would fit the American Girls

Luckily, the kid wasn't there today. I hope he does knock it off before Joey has to do something about it.



That is such a sweet idea!! I would love to do that one day, especially since we met at the MK.



I will.

I am so excited ladies!!! I mean like I screamed so loud my DH thought I had broken something. Nathan Fillion is coming to Comic Con in May. I am like "I was just given a free Disney trip" excited!!

Ok, I don't have a clue who that is but, WOOHOO anyway!!!!!!

Hey everyone. I am popping in to say I am considering a quick 3 night trip with Lily. We both need a break from all the family drama and stress and I think some one on one time with her momma would be excellent for her right now. Pricing things out and looking at our options.

A mother/daughter trip sounds awesome! Good luck planning. I hope it works out!

They grow up too fast!!!!

Can't wait to hear more! Sounds like you had a blast!


Hi Janet! DD is being a pain in the butt this morning. She's become very clingy the past few days (sensing tension in the house probably), so it's hard to get a moment to chat.

Waving to everyone else

 

[pas130]

I didn't realize they went out of Trenton until a few weeks ago, so have been meaning to keep an eye on them. Thanks for the reminder. Trenton is a bit of a pain for us to get to, but for the right price, it's worth it!

We are flying out of Allentown...but for the price and laid back atmosphere...well worth it!!

Hey girls! As I'm sure you may have guessed my absence is related my DS6. I'm not ready to talk about it yet, but I wanted to let you all know everything is ok.

pas - I'd love to see you guys stay at the GF in the fall!


Now, I need some Disney planning help. I am working with an offsite vendor to do a surprise vow renewal for the April trip. We are doing a scavenger hunt through the MK that leads DH to the Wishing Well where we will have a private moment to recommit to each other.

Afterwards I booked an Illuminations Cruise. Anyone have opinions on this? Yay or Nay? I'm just not sure it's worth the cost, but I want to do something special. I though about having a cake and champagne delivered from Private Dining to have on board.

Whaddaya think?

Miss you all

An illuminations cruise sounds amazing For the price...not sure. How about dropping the kids off at Sandcastle club and having a dinner at World Showcase maybe?

Just know many of us have "been there" so if you need to vent or some love..we are here! ALWAYS!

And GF is looking good today

Pas: You do make AS Sports sound great! Someday we will get 2 rooms at a value, and will remember to check it out!

I'm excited!!! If only the pools were bigger for the kiddos

Luckily, the kid wasn't there today. I hope he does knock it off before Joey has to do something about it.

Us too!!!

That sounds Awesome! Have you looked at a Wishes cruise? Since you will be in MK, that might be easier.

I'd love to renew my vows on the beach at the Poly someday

Oh my goodness!! I just read on FB that they have Dole whips with Rum at Epcot!!

I have seen that all over FB too. I hope they have thm for F&W too. I Dole whips, and I dark rum too, soo.....

Lots going on around here these days. We agreed we really would like to work it out so we could go to WDW this year.
Dh came home yesterday and said he had asked for and was approved for the vacation days.
I changed a few things around, and started working on a plan. I wanted to figure it out so furlough or not, it would be possible.
I called CRO today, and the plan is: 2 nights WL, 5 nights YC. I've paid about 1/2 the total at this point, so I think it should work out!!

[Janet B]

Hi Peeps!!

Deena, Hiii!!! Oh with the week Ive had several slushies would be the perfect remedy!! When you get a chance to get your pix off you can post them here so we can all drool.

Wookie: Its hard to accept when our kids get older and seeing the signs of it...t was hard for me to accept my DS with a beard& detested it & but it grew on me. When I mentioned I didnt like it he came back with mom you arent exactly the type of women Im trying to appeal to And for your excitement! I know you all love Comic Con (we dont know too much about it but as we are big fans of the Big Bang Theory and seen them intereviewed there).

Dani, you know l love your idea of your mommy and me trip&

Koh, as someone who has never had a dole whip, one with spiced rum sounds even more decadent&

Jen, you are not boring! You are making plans to surprise the girls again & bet you are making special T-shirts again too& funny, I just watched the video of your last trip (going thru PMs)& loved it. Every time you mentioned AG, I think about Sam and how much she loved first her bitty baby and then her AG dolls&its brings back so many memories!

Miss, our young Miss M will be happy no matter what resort you are at& you and DH will see to it that it is special.

Ginny, So happy the trip is coming together for you ... great split with WL and YC.

Hi Janet! DD is being a pain in the butt this morning. She's become very clingy the past few days (sensing tension in the house probably), so it's hard to get a moment to chat.

Waving to everyone else

Kids have radar like that, we all understand that... Its so wonderful to have you back and hear that life is a little less stressful...great to hear DS is okay. Love the fact you are planning this surprise for your DH& will the folks you are working with also have a photographer to capture it?? How romantic..

Janet is very understanding....she gets that a lot That goodness for texting or I'd never talk to anyone...

And I concurr on the texting...what did we ever do without it?

We are going to the GRAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This trip is now less than POR RR with rack rate DH cannot argue with the savings...well of course he CAN..and throw in the loss of the snack room (that may work on HRH...) But I am not one stop on the monorail away from my CASTLE

DH can make a snack run...there will be no more changing on this trip... Sarah had a hand in this one ... 'nuff said.

Sooo Pas, will you be changing the title of your PTR??

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

I'm now back safe and sound from my Dis DL Diva trip! We really had a wonderful time .... so many lovely ladies.

The Sunday before the trip DD was playing softball and managed to break her finger. After a trip to urgent care and a large splint she was referred to an Ortho surgeon. The tip of the finger seems to be just hanging there. He gave her a new little plastic splint which she has to wear for the next 6 weeks. Then he'll take another look to see if it has healed .... if it has she'll only need to wear the splint at night for another 6 weeks .... if not surgery, pins to hold it in place. Think good thoughts everyone!

So all the above explains why we didn't do all the meals and activities on the Diva trip. We both had a lot of fun and plan to do it again next year. I had signed up for the Scavenger Hunt but DD hadn't since she wasn't going to be there that day but due to her injury she arrived one day earlier. Some of the wonderful Divas invited her to spend the time with them while I did the hunt. My team came in 4th place ... just one spot out of winning a prize.

The Redneck themed Meet n Greet party was a great time to meet everyone. Some great outfits and lots of laughs. My outfit was just jeans and a plaid shirt so no prize for me.

We did several of the TS meals ... I think my favorite was Big Thunder BBQ. I did the dinner at Storytellers Cafe the first night before DD was there. It was a little hard walking into dinner with 24 ladies who you've never met ... I am shy .... but everyone was very friendly.

There were 60+ Divas on the trip but not everyone attended each event. I loved how you got to pick and choose what you wanted to do so you all weren't stuck at the hip to the whole group.

We've already started planning for next year .... Feb 26th thru Mar 2nd!

Thanks Christine for posting the picture of my hunt team!!!

 

[gwynne]

Good news!!!

Thank you!!

So excited!!!

Ginny This is great news!!!

It's fun to be able to share happiness!

DH can make a snack run...there will be no more changing on this trip... Sarah had a hand in this one ... 'nuff said.

Janet, that's a lovely thought about Sarah. Pas has a fantastic vacation planned!

Thanks for your thoughts on our plans. It's a happy RC day!!

I'm now back safe and sound from my Dis DL Diva trip! We really had a wonderful time .... so many lovely ladies.

GG-I love hearing about your travels.

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Interesting fact about the Divas .... the first trip was to WDW. Beth, our fearless leader was living in MI. She posted her idea on the Dis for a ladies only trip to WDW ... there were about 40 ladies that year. She then moved to Arizona and started the trips to DL.
