    High School Class of 2015

    DD applied to 7 schools. 3 early action, 2 rolling and 2 regular. She's heard from one EA and one rolling. Both acceptances. One of those is a top choice and a direct admit to her program of choice, the other was a reach so she's pretty excited. She's expecting to hear from the other rolling...

    High School Class of 2015

    Been kind of quiet here lately, how's everyone fairing? DH and I have kind of hit a wall with DD. She is so wishy washy and appears disinterested almost. On one hand hand she says she doesn't think she has enough schools on her list but she shoots down every single one DH and I suggest she...

    Alex and Ani

    Grr! There are 6 completed listings for the DVC Alex & Ani, all went for between $149.99 and $202.50! :mad: What a profit for those members. Next time I guess they should limit it to 1 per member.

    Alex and Ani

    FYI for anyone else interested, they are sold out. :sad1: I completely missed the boat and by the time I went to check about an hour ago they were already gone. Did members receive an email or anything about this? I didn't get anything....

    Hi I've lurked on this thread and learned a lot but I have one quick question, thought I had written it down but can't find it in my notes. What time should we line up for FP+ for SotS? Thanks!

    High School Class of 2015

    Sometimes when I read this thread I get stressed that we are very behind but when I talk to parents of DD's friends we are in the same stage of prep or even a little farther along so I'm going to try not to freak out. ;) Senior classes were requested, we wait until she gets her schedule to...

    Best route - Chicago to Orlando

    We have done the drive the past 4 years and will do so again May 30th. The cost of 5 plane tickets is just more than we want to budget so it's either drive or not go so we drive. We've done the 57 route most of the time and feel that there is less truck traffic than on 65. Either route is...

    High School Class of 2015

    DD registered for the ACT too, I wasn't home but DH did say that it was fairly involved and took longer than it should. She took a practice test at school yesterday and felt comfortable so it will be interesting to see the results. Minniebeth - we had to pay for parking when we went to visit...

    High School Class of 2015

    You guys are scaring me a bit. ;) We are no where near as far along as a lot of you with regard to testing and deciding. DD's HS is very involved, they have 4 college counselors for around 300 juniors and we have one on one meetings. DD had to complete a survey and we have to set up our...

    High School Class of 2015

    Jumping in! Our DD just turned 17 last week, she is our oldest so this is a first for us. We have been on a couple of college vists and she took a practice ACT last year but nothing yet this year. I found this thread when searching for info on ACT test prep, her score last year was pretty good...

    Calling all Chicago DISers #3

    Hi all! :wave2: Was so surprised to see this thread pop up in my email notifications! Don't get on the Dis much anymore, busy with 2 part time jobs and 2 teens and one almost teen. Hoping for a trip to WDW in June but school and summer schedules are getting difficult as they get to high...

    how do i get MDE to acknowledge the +10???

    The website wouldn't work for me today, have my reservation linked and tried a few different ways but it would only let me book 180 days out not my +10. Called right at 7a and got all I wanted but would have loved an extra hour of sleep! ;)

    The Miss Outstanding Teen competition (little sister comp to Miss America) is in Orlando and ending tomorrow. The Miss America contestants are there I'm thinking as support and aid to the teens.

    Do you have your older kids buy things you won't?

    I do frequently. If it is something that isn't "necessary" then I'll negotiate with DD16. Just a couple of weeks ago we were shopping, she wanted a new pair of wedge sandals. The pair she found was more than I was willing to spend so she paid the difference. My mom was famous for the "I'll...

    A SUMMER Adventure in Autism (6/26) We leave TOMORROW!

    The Sea World plans look great, especially that new Antarctica section! :thumbsup2 I'm with you on the Friday, it would be hard for me to just sit by the pool knowing that I could be exploring/experiencing Sea World but my DH is a lot like Ed and he'd want to relax and not push it too...

    A SUMMER Adventure in Autism (6/26) We leave TOMORROW!

    We have been in the same situation on our past 3 trips, it was either a 20hr drive or no go. :sad2: It's not really all that bad and I do love having our car there for grocery trip, off-site eating and general ease of going where I want when I want. A bonus to Kidani is there is a Publix...

    A SUMMER Adventure in Autism (6/26) We leave TOMORROW!

    I'm along for the ride too! :goodvibes We really want to do Sea World someday too so I'm looking forward to hearing all about it. Haven't been in July for a long time but done June the past two years. The heat is rough but with the longer park hours it's easier to take that mid-day break...

    2012 Disney TR

    I'm seriously late in finding your TR but this rainy Chicago day gave me the chance to catch up. ~ Loved your pics and reviews of both Contemporary and GF club levels. ~ Would love to stay at AoA but alas we are DVC so that is unlikely. ~ O'hana is one of our favorites and we just enjoyed...
