Hi tmoger, We had no problems catching the train and spending the day there. It was a little crowded each way and the "gypsies" were handing out the "I'm a starving single mother with 2 children, please give me money" cards. Don't fall for it, you see them get off the train and go around a...

I would have to say Whistler. The little village is so beautiful and my kids had the best time there. We even did the zip lining tour and had a blast on it... 4 years later and they still mention the snow and their time there. So I would like to give it a HUGE :thumbsup2 for the...

Hi Everyone.. :wave2: You guys must be getting very excited about your upcoming trip. Just thought that I would drop in and let you know how things are going.. As you know I was supposed to go in 20 days but had to cancel (DH was retrenched) so when I got the money back from the trip I...

Thank you Royal Consort... My mum isn't a big fan of roller coasters and heights but I am hoping to talk her into Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. I may not get to see everything but I'm happy with just being there for the one day. As long as I come home with Disney gear. My only...

Hi Everyone.. Well I'm super happy at the moment.. Not sure what I said or if it was due to the horrible week I had at work and the stress of trying to get the refund back (still) but apparently I can have "one day only and you have to bring us back souvenirs". I am not arguing.. I'll take...

Thank you Kangarucci.. I actually had 2 people tell me what a selfish (beep) I am for still going overseas without hubby and the kids. Which really surprised me. I really want to do something nice for my mum (I can still remember the "teenage years":rotfl:) and it is her dream to see Southern...

Hi Guys... I would like to say a big THANK YOU for all the well wishes that you sent. After much discussion we have decided to cancel the holiday as we felt that letting new potential employers know about a 4.5 week holiday may be a deal breaker in this economy. Especially if DH finds...

Hi Everyone... I am feeling absolutely devastated at the moment... After 648 days of thinking, dreaming, planning and PAYING for our trip.. I think I have to cancel... Hubby has come home saying he is now retrenched from his job that he has been in for the last 16 years and I know that he...

Hi Everyone... I copied this from my email that I got from my TA in America. Hope it helps with the planning. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: November 9, 12, 15, 16, 25, 27, 29, 30 December 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21 Event hours: 7:00pm - 12:00am...

Hi Baf65, I know what you mean about being more excited than the kids. My countdown on the phone started at 648 days and we are now down to 178. I already have apps downloaded for ride wait times and various disney facts. They just give me this "Oh mum" look when I tell them about rides but...

Hi Everyone... :goodvibes I finally told my TA to just book the flights as I was tired of waiting for a "special" to come out.. She got an "OK" price for me and to be honest.. I'm glad it's over and I can cross it off the list of things to do.... Now it's time to turn my attention to...

Hi dabecs We are staying at DL Hotel on the 22 Oct till the 25 Oct. In WDW at the CSR 25 Oct till 5 Nov. CBR from the 8 Nov till the 12 Nov (because CBR is a host hotel for me to do the Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon). And if I am still alive after doing the half marathon :rotfl: our...

Hi Everyone.. I was wondering if I can join in as well... We are leaving on the 22 October (well that is the plan but haven't found any good flights yet). Staying at DLH for 3 nights and then going to WDW and splitting our stay between CSR and POR over the next 3 weeks. My problem is...

I think I will be doing more walking than running as I am very unfit but I am working on improving my fitness. I have gone from 1 mile in 25 min to 1 mile in 17 min... I work a lot of hours so a lot of my training is on the treadmill. Last night I went to jump on it and it started in make a...

:cool1: I'm registered! So I'm in.. It took a couple of attempts but I'm excited that I've actually signed up and will soon be running through Disney. Still working on fitness endurance but I've managed to get a mile down to 18 minutes which is massive for me if you know how low my fitness...

Went ahead and changed my reservation from POR to CBR. Thought that it would be easier than trying to find an alternate way of getting to the events.

Thanks for that :goodvibes Always good to know that they MAY add POR as a host hotel closer to the event. But between now and then.... all this couch potato can do is train.. :rotfl: Plus work.. or how else am I going to pay for the scary price of flights to America :laughing:
