And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[MAGIC...itis!]

RCERS: I wanted to stop by and tell you all what a nice time I had two weeks ago at WDW. I had a lovely time, the weather was great, food was great and especially great was the company of Janet & Linda & Deena!



I tried to play catch up with all your ch-ch-changes and personal lives, too. Thinking of you all.

Thanks KOOK, I appreciated your extraordinary hosting efforts. And so timely the new site is up... I will be at CR Deluxe next month, 2/28 – 3/4 for our Anniversary Weekend.

I so agree. The waitress told us New Years Eve day that that was the last burger we'd be eating there due to the impending menu changes. And that burger was the best, too! DH usually gets the steak and he had it 1st time and loved it too. I will miss the old menu.

I have to start doing some serious research BWI would be the better choice for F&W but he agreed to stay at the Poly which might not happen again. I am so confused, maybe a split stay?

Excited for you for another BWI and Bob-surprise Poly possibility, too.

The DH came into our room and asked me why I was mad at him while I was doing school work. When I told him, he said, "well it's not like we're going to Disney World." I said, "I'm going to let you get away with saying something stupid like that, and me not throw the closest thing I can get into my hand just this once. The conference is at Coronado Springs, which is on Disney World property. Technically you are going to Disney World." I swear he was acting like someone who knew nothing about Disney World and thought the Magic Kingdom was all there is to Disney World.

What is wrong with men???

Janet - yes, time does fly for sure I remember beings scared, young and away from my family when I had DS, I remember holding him for the first time in the NICU. So much has changed since that day but all for the best! It is so hard to believe that he has been in my life for 20 years already!

Dani - OMG about the bra comment, especially since I had to go buy new bras today since mine were falling apart I learned a long time ago that you never know what a person has going on behind closed doors and you can never judge because you just don't know. DS9 actually has to write a paper this weekend about characteristics of a good friend, and we were talking this morning how important it is to have a friend that is there for you no matter what, happy times and sad times. As far the abuse, I had the opportunity after I got out of my abusive relationship I was asked into the high school to talk to a group of girls and let them know that it happens even as teens. I think it is such a taboo thing to discuss, but these girls need to know they are important and can get out

Miss - he was up at 3am from so he came home ate dinner and passed out, I know he doesn't feel well, but i also think a lot of it is stress. Better this week then when we are at Disney!!! I was so sick when we were there in Dec but trucked through it, but we all know how men are when they are sick I was also thinking that we hadn't heard from Linda, a tracking device sounds like a good idea Although KOOK is trying to convince us that Linda is really homeless and not just on vacations

Wookie - oh I don't blame you for being furious with the whole DH and IL's possibly going to WDW! I hope you dont fight too much about it and can get your school work done. Hang in there

Lacey - I want to say when we were at CR in Dec it was already the sheet duvet system, but maybe I am confusing it with YC. I know its not real down though because I have called and asked as I am allergic to down and was assured it wasn't and didn't wake up itchy at all

Marie - sounds like non-CL may be a great option for DL

to everyone else!!!!

Melissa

I totally need new bras. I have yet to find a good bra. It's hard when you're "well endowed." I want to try Nordstrom!

Miss: Thanks for asking about us...we are doing ok. DH is still sick, DD8 is gone off to her 2 night winter wonderland camp, DD6 just got home from a late playdate, and DD4 is dreaming of ways she can rule the house this weekend. Me, well I am nursing a glass of red wine, and catching up with you all. At this moment...pure bliss. How is Miss M these days???

Dani and Christine: we can get excited about cruises together! Ours is only a three night but is on Nov 21. I am super pumped!!

Iheart: That is amazing about your kids art contest...best of luck to them!

Hope everyone is having a good night...and I hope it is warmer there then it is here!!

We are all super pumped! Next year Danimal wants to try the Oasis. I don't blame him!

"Ummmm yes I was, I just kept going!!!" like a lunatic. I don't know why we moms can't just go and lie down without major guilt. They have no problem! And what I can't figure out is why the kids actually leave him alone! When I try to sleep they are all over me. ..

And then I get my mom on the phone telling me I need to be more sympathetic for him. What the??? I guess you hit on a sore spot!

Men are the biggest babies in the entire world. It is ridiculous.

I know there have been some very sad family times - my heart and prayer are with you, even if I am not here posting.

Some NKOTB fans here! When my kids were young we lived down the street from Donnie & Mark (of course Mark had his own music career) - the family was well known ... Every girl near and far thought he looked like Donnie - a mother's worst nightmare at that age! They were a typical large family in our neighborhood. LOTS of kiddos!!

I'm glad Donnie and Mark both turned out to be very good actors, so we still get to see them! I'm a fan of Blueboods too...only because of Donnie!

That's so cool Christine!!! I feel like a teenager all excited!!! I know someone who knows the Wahlbergs

When Dis friends said they really wanted me to go and it isn't until Feb 2014, I decided it was time to step waaay out of my comfort zone and have a new adventure. Fingers crossed the MS will not mean I am more sensitive to motion, but think it will be okay. It is a quiet time for a cruise weather wise and I have read that any light motion on the Dream feels more like a train and I love long distance train rides.

That's the latest in my world...oh, except that next week Sophia (& mom and dad) will spend 2 ngts in a LM room and a day a the MK, including CRT breakfast! Very exciting! I will be here with Rosie our furbaby...I told DD that I had better see LOTS of text pics!!!

I think the cruise will be a true adventure!!!! But a deluxe adventure!!! and I can't wait to hear about Sophia's first trip!!!

Hope your DH is better Melissa, men are THE WORST SICK PEEPS! And a Happy belated birthday to your DS...next year my Brandon will be 13

The issue has been addressed with the higher ups, so yes you can make changes to a existing reservation. They were all apparently taken by surprise that the discount was discontinued. They did resolve the issue by offering me a very sweet deal in September so all is good. I hope my bad temper helped other people booked with the discount. The discounts came out July of 2012 so I am sure I am not the only one with a booking this year.

Thank goodness!!

Tonight I got some more details on my cousin and it just made me break down at my desk in tears. I don't like to cry, especially in public. But my coworkers were so sweet and comforting. I'm lucky to be in such a great office. I am so saddened by my cousin's death. It isn't that we were particularly close. In fact I think we met maybe three times in total. It's just the nature of how it happened. This is something I don't often talk about, but I was in an abusive relationship with Danimal's "father" and I just keep thinking that it so easily could have been me. I also think how horrible it is for my uncle to be dealing with this. No parent should have to bury their child. As a parent it is my greatest fear. I've been hugging my babies extra close this week. Sorry to be such a downer this week. Thanks for puttin up with me.

Love ya sis!!! I watched my mom go through a lot of abusive relationships, and even saw her get stabbed once. So thankful you got yourself and Danimal out of that situation. You amaze me with your strength

I am glad you were able to break free from your own abusive relationship, my eldest boys father was abusive too having him arrested and breaking off with him for the sake of my son was one of the best moves I ever made. I know you had an emotional breakdown since you are so right , that it could have been you. Take care my dear friend and know I am here if you ever need to talk.

Sheila...you have been through so much as well!

Have to get DD8 ready to head off to girl guide camp for the weekend tonight, all the kiddos ok to go to school today. DH is on meds now too, and boy his snoring at night is driving me to the looney bin. Need lots of this today.

Have a good day everyone

We've been going every year, are planning on continuing going every year, and prefer staying deluxe, the DVC just makes sense for us. SO, right now I'm looking into options of a resale on BLT. Decisions, decisions......

Ah, DVC....BLT, soon GF.....BWV, VWL...the possibilities!! LOVE IT!!!!!

MAGIC I have been planning away and even though I haven't booked yet I am excited about staying at the POLY, as of now Oct 20 to 27. Dates subject to change of course.

It sounds like you have a great anniversary trip planned at CR, the Deluxe Room has so much space

Dani You cracked me up with the bra comment

My intention was to do GF...then going with my "budget theme" I chose YC...then in looking at the fact I could get the snack room for almost the same price as GF That darn snack room!!! So I have planned one 8 hrs shift a week to pay for vacation!!! Still need to super duper budget, but it will be worth it

Jeannette - what are your dates now?? Love the latest change!

If I take Sophia in August we might have to stay at POP - I don't sworn, or get a near a pool and she loves going in the water. I don't know of a deluxe or even mod with a kids play area like POP with the water jets...hope you'll tell me I am wrong! I haven't been alone with a little one since 1988!! All my other trips with little ones had people who could go in the pool with them. I would hate to disappoint Sophia. They are at the beach today..near Melbourne...tomorrow WDW!!

[jennyjinx3]

Wow, just noticed some of the negativity from someone on the BC/YC thread. The moderator warned of not getting off topic on FAQ threads, due to some people complaining of cliques going on. I hope he didn't
mean us!! We are always super friendly and welcoming to others.

Hope you are all having a good weekend....counting down to May!! DH 's aunt was just here and is interested in me helping her plan a trip for Oct or Nov so that is exciting! She likes the Contemporary so far.....

I have the same issue. I just need to go somewhere and be fitted for one. I just hate spending that much money on one though.

I agree!! I would almost have both my DSs sick than the DH.

I love Winter, but I may feel different about it if I had the type y'all probably have.

We'll be in the 70's for the next several days and then it'll drop back to the 50's here. Which is much better than the 100+ degree days of the summer.

Hopefully, it won't have to be postponed too much.

I just saw that...all it takes is one person to ruin a good thing...
I love our thread and the vibe. I've been part of it for 2+ years now, and you guys are family. I'd be so sad if it got torn apart because one person complained...then again...us RC'ers are a unique brand and those who seek us out, just get it.

New dates are Aug 23-31st, if we drive we will stop at Myrtle Beach beforehand to see my dad. And a leisurely drive home

Yes the BC thread is nuts today...a shame the mod stepped in, Dee is a sweetie! Happened on the GF thread a few months back... Since we are not a FAQ thread we are hopefully safe...it's about changing, and we definitely do that here!!!
