I am sorry December is being such a pita. Are you at your 7m date yet? If you know your group is rock solid and you aren't worried about being short later on points I'd go for it and book the GV. I'd hate to wait and lose it. Booking rooms for others is tough, shared villa or not. I've done it twice now and while I was so happy to be able to "share" it is SO much easier when it's just my immediate smaller clan! I'm ok not doing it again for a while. Assuming of course you don't mind sharing a ginormous villa with the group. Plus then no horrid sofa beds to worry about! The points are brutal. After this past trip honestly if my parent go when it's Eric's turn I'm either going to need a 2B...or they are going to be on their own (which isn't a conversation I want to have). But because it IS so many points, I can't really just give them all away....
guilt and freak out. I love that Allison was looking out for you even if it was an overreaction. It's so hard to get across tone on the boards sometimes and it can go oddly sideways when no one intends it to.
Fun at Sea day. The dolphins make up for the majorly meh breakfast. I am glad pizza came to the rescue.
We have an amazing volume of that same hat!
We're at our 7 month mark. The good news is that everyone is flexible, our friends are easy so we can move the whole by about a week and a half if need be. The GV would only allow us 3 nights on property and the rest off. We'll be using 2 years of points for this trip (maybe more) so they're paying us for their share. I won't make money but I can't give them away either. They wouldn't be able to stay at the GCH otherwise, especially in a villa. Our points can buy us 6 nights in anything but a GV with a little leftover. I just don't think I can cough up that much for 3 nights. : But the GV looks gorgeous. You wouldn't get me to leave. Maybe in the summer where we'd BBQ and really use the kitchen. It's making me nuts. I am up at 6 am everyday checking and then rechecking several times throughout the day. I have a good old fashioned pencil to paper spreadsheet. No wonder Alison thinks I freak out.
We had such a fun day at sea and it wasn't even noon.

No problem. I wouldn't think so but I'm not certain. Mine is locked and I've never had any issues. Maybe mine just doesn't get as much traffic
Yes, the Magic was recently re-imagined and now has the aqua dunk and the Avengers Academy. Not that my boys care because I can't get them to stay in the club, any club, longer than an hour. I enjoyed the size of the Magic and I really hope we get to sail the Wonder in 2015. We've sailed the Dream twice and loved it. I think the pools are crazy on all of them.
I really enjoy seeing your pictures of the ship. I honestly think the atrium is more beautiful on the Wonder than the Magic. The atrium on the Dream is spectacular but it is huge compared to the Magic/Wonder.
Is the Dream just gorgeous? It fits like 2,000 more people I think.
I hear you on kids not liking the club. Joshua didn't either. What don't your boys like about them?
They really messed up with the pool size didn't they? It doesn't make sense to me.
