So......I just switched resorts....This trip better hurry up...I've done a whole lot of resort hopping and I'm not even there!!!l!
Hi Peeps!!
Jen,do so hope that DD's fever is gone and that she has able to go to school today. Those last days and goodbyes are so important for the little ones!
Jen...hope your little feels better soon!
I know I'm missing so many of you! Hope you all have a good night...I need some sleep....and I need to stay off the phone....I can't believe I changed resorts.....AGAIN!.....
thankfully she is feeling better now. I hate fevers.
So......I just switched resorts....
Koh1977...Yup loving that idea! You guys are all so creative...me..not so much.
Both my kids were in band in high school...my son did the marching thing! It was the best..especially all the parades.
DetTigGal...Hope you are having so much fun!!
Chimo2u ...hoping for good news for you!
hstrickland...What a beautiful photo! So beautiful!
I arrive on July 5th....
So open to room request suggestions...or courtyard view......?? Have a wonderful day everyone...I will catch up when I get home tonight!! I really love this place.
Considering a move to a family suite at ASM....cannot beat the price with the BB we have. It is still about $400 cheaper than a family suite at AOA for the same dates. And all the DD's will have their own bed. 
The older two did not really enjoy sharing this past trip. 
I am sensing a phone call in my future!!Janet: COngrats on Sam making the HS marching band!! That is awesome!
DetTigsGal: Sounds like a great day! Keep having fun!
Hi Sheila!!
Okay, so DH just gave me the go ahead to price out Boardwalk Inn instead! I know it is around the same price as Beach Club, but DH really wants to try something different too.
Kook: What is a good room request for a standard room??
Jen
-- yeah! No cooking!!! -- tomorrow is date night at the VIP theatre to see The Heat)
please pixie dust for my boy!!!!
Woohoo! BWI sounds lovely - it's the resort in front running for my next trip
It seems like Jan 2015 will take forever to come! I could do with a review before then, Jen
Quick update on DH (it's his bday today and we're taking him to Red Robin (A CDN burger joint) for dinner
Dr apt was a mixed bag still. He is finally given the go ahead to begin more aggressive Physio to see if he can get movement in the top joint of his pinky. If after 2 months/ end summer it's still not moving or contributing to function of his other three working fingers, he'll have to make a choice if its really worth keeping if it is hindering function of the other three. He's grown quite attached to his little/ smaller hand, so that would be a big dissapointment to lose baby finger too. The surgeon said though in his opinion if the baby finger has no movement still, it's just going to suck from his three good fingers, and he'll have better function with three fingers than 3 and a tag along finger that's not offering any function to his overall hand use.
So it's a waiting game and Physio all summer to see what kind of movement / if any he can obtain in his baby finger. Next Visit is Aug 28th. We should have a little better idea by then what he's looking at for going forward to meet his goal of going back as a Sheriff/ if he can. That's the hope though.
DH and I are in need of a holiday!!!
DS 21 FINALLY has his interview for his first job at Home Depot ( CDN hardware store) today! He's applied for a night shift position M-F 10pm-6:30am
On the freight team -- offloading/ stocking etc. I am so hoping he gets it because he needs to get his life started somehow - he needs it for experience- he needs it as a stepping stone for whatever he's going to do next ( which at the moment is kind of unknown , but leaning towards the possibility of becoming an electrician) -- he needs it for his sanity and self esteem! He just needs something to feel good about and to work and have his own savings and sense of accomplishment -- oh how I hope he's successful and gets offered the position! I have a feeling if he fails at this, his self esteem might be crushed and he may just go into a slump
Hope all is well with all my loving RCer family
to DS !

Positive thoughts, as always! Savor that no-cook dinner tonight -- those are THE best. Lovin' your update. Enjoy the rest of your trip! 
Sooooo, if you go with BWI you can scope it out for us! For standard views, I've got the following advice for a good view... "Courtyard, Facing Epcot" -- the pics I've seen in Kooks' thread show it looking out over the France Pavilion. You can see Illuminations if you can nab one of these rooms. 
He comes running back downstairs and tells me to check my email. The email in question was a letter from the director of the lab. Very short and sweet but the hubster was given a promotion, effective immediately. 
He's never been a "toot his own horn" type, so this sort of thing means a lot to him beyond the obvious as it requires multiple written recommendations from respected members of his field on top of review-by-committee before it can go ahead -- and it was all done without him knowing. So proud of that nerd. 
Hellooooooooooooo chicas!
Marie: Happy Birthday to your hubs! Hoping the more-intense physio does the trick.
Janet: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Sam! She rocks. Glad she's doing it. She's going to have a blast... and make tons of great memories in the process.

Jen:
Sheila: Speaking of BWI, how'd you like it there?
Willow: Hahaha, NICE change!
Koh: Shall we break out the popcorn again? Any more thoughts on CR?

Only news I've got to share...
Hubbo was at home yesterday. (He needed to work from home because everyone at his work was bugging him and he has to work on his talk for a conference he's attending this weekend. Mind you, working with Miss M and myself hanging around is infinitely MORE difficult than colleagues bugging you all day.) I heard him go upstairs into the office and let loose with a phrase I can't share here.
Miss: This is great news!!Congrats to your DH!! I love it when they get recognized for their work! Hugs and congrats!
I just got some info from her and will call back later. Should I ask a different CM when I call back?
Miss: I just called and the CM said I could not request courtyard, epcot view. She said the only available request when booking a SV room was garden and upper floor.
The woman that updated our reservation said she could only put down two requests "due to the size of the request field" (which sounds entirely plausible) but managed to put in "courtyard view, high floor, quiet" on ours -- the "quiet" bit was her own addition. (I left out the "facing Epcot" because that didn't matter to me as much as being on a higher floor.) Maybe you should ask when you call again. So, you did go ahead and make the SWITCH?! (And not to mention that SV at AKL... 
) We could see fireworks from all our SV rooms so far.
This is so hard! It basically is about $20 more per person per day to stay at the Boardwalk then ASM. I just really feel like I need the atmosphere there again! I loved the feeling of the boats, Epcot right there, the lights at night, the water. I feel it is worth the money! And DH can get his different resort right??
He wants to do a waterpark visit too, so I don't feel so bad about missing out on Stormalong Bay. Also, the Boardwalk Bakery is right there too. Why do I feel like I am totally talking myself into this!!
(Not that I needed any convincing. ) That peanut butter ganache tart thing from Boardwalk Bakery is calling your name already... (or was it the Sea Salt Caramel Square?)
You should totally call ... you know, for informational purposes.
$20 more for Boardwalk ... including walking to two parks? Heck, you've CONVINCED ME!
