    You bet your aft we had a good time! A Wonder trip report Update 12/30 p.59-611

    I'm sure that makes it more fun. We already know some people on our cruise. One of the Moms Panel Moms lives in our town and is going on the cruise. Len Testa who wrote the Unofficial Guide is on our cruise. Our TA is on our cruise. That makes it a little easier. Amanda

    The mixology looks like a lot of fun! My cruise Facebook group is already started to talk about something like this. We'll see what happens. Amanda

    Hijinks & Shenanigans but not much Mayhem@The Dark Side+Disney:Link to DL/Hawaii TR

    And now with FP+ all of the strategizing about FP return times changes yet again! ;) I like the new TestTrack but I find the designing your own car part annoying because they give you too much time to do it. Otherwise I don't find it terribly different from before. I also love coming through...

    Work Trip: My original plan for my work trip was as follows: Bring children to school in the morning. Stay for Zachary's VIP week activities which involve reading a book and telling a little story about Zachary. Drive from there to White Plains airport. Fly to MCO. Grab my rental car. Drive to...

    I'm excited that we're finally DVC members so we'll be able to attend the DVC event on our next cruise! :banana: I didn't realize there was swag involved so I'm glad I read your TR. Sorry your breakfast was disappointing. I'm excited for room service on the cruise. YUM! Amanda

    The metabolic testing costs extra but we were founding members of the gym so we got a discounted price. We like Via Napoli. I've heard mixed reviews but we've always enjoyed it. Maybe since we're used to NY prices, we don't think it's so expensive! :lmao: I had NOT looked into MVMCP yet but I...

    Where to Add-On?

    Good points about only using VGF points at VGF. I hadn't really thought about it that way... The downside to the Epcot resorts is that staying in a one bedroom, while permitted, requires us to provide an extra bed. We can stay in a one bedroom at VGF, BLT, or Kidani using the existing bedding...

    Where to Add-On?

    After many, many years of debating and discussing we finally bought into DVC last year. We purchased 160 points at VGF with an August UY. We have already found many uses for our points and, as a family of 5, we are already finding that 160 points are not enough. I'm from a big family and we're...

    Zachary turned 6 on Thursday and we are having his birthday party tomorrow. About 20 kindergarteners! Luckily it's NOT at our house and the guy hosting it is fabulous. Zachary is SO excited! It's very cute. This morning I was up at 5am and headed to the gym to have follow-up metabolic testing...

    Our 180 day window for booking dining reservations for our November trip is rapidly approaching. And I still don't have a plan. Zachary and I are taking an early flight on Friday morning. We will rent a car and drive straight to the Race Expo (with a possible detour at Publix to buy some...

    I love Beach Club but it's a very small DVC resort which means very limited availability. Boardwalk has grand villas and I believe it's bigger so there tends to be a little more availability. You make good points. Even if we bank and borrow 3 years worth of points, we don't really have...

    A Disney-Addicted Mom runs W&D, Dopey, and cruises Europe *update 5/9*

    I have lots of paperwork to do today so what better way to distract myself than to plan Disney stuff. Today's question is purely hypothetical: Background: We have 160 points at Villas at Grand Floridian. Clearly this isn't enough for a Disney-addicted family of 5. We purchased this amount as...

    DREAMing, some MAGIC and a little bit of Paris! Trip report link!

    Hi Karin! I was sent over to your PTR because we're heading to France in August and spending 1-2 days at DL Paris. I need to start from the beginning and read EVERYTHING because I'm just starting our planning (I've booked flights and hotels so far). I hope that you don't mind lots and lots of...

    Welcome!!! L&D is certainly busier than what we do! I mean we have emergencies and all but nothing like the pace you have. What better way to spend a 50th birthday! That'll be fun!!!! Thank you for the fabulous advice about DL Paris. I will immediately seek out DizNeets and get help...

    For DVC vets: How will sales of Poly "work"?

    This is my concern, too. We finally bought at VGF last year but clearly 160 points isn't enough for our family of 5 (I usually run at least 1-2 runDisney events each year in addition to family vacation). I was thinking we would buy another bunch of points (number to be negotiated with the...

    So in all of my excitement to write about our various trips involving Disney, I forgot to mention the one coming up. The American Urological Association is having its annual meeting in Orlando in May. Tom and I are both going - I arrive on Thursday, May 15th and he will join me on Saturday, May...
