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

Ill be back latter to catch up, but just wanted to share my excitement....Gastro took Steven off one of his meds I was hoping for 2, but the one he did take him off is the 3 times a day, perfectly timed between meals, on an empty stomach, cant be taken within hours of his other 3 meds, etc. This means I can move his other meds to waking up and bedtime which means NO CARRYING MEDS with us in the parks and being able to eat and snack whenever we feel like it!! I am soooo happy

I was shocked earlier when I checked on my iPhone case and it had an arrival scan in Justin, TX. I had Joey go check to see if it had gotten here, and it had. I am so excited!!!

I just thought it was so funny that of all the American names they could have picked to put as the sender, they picked David. David is my hubby's name.

Melissa Very happy to read your good news about the meds, as a person who is on various Meds and has to carry them with me I know first hand what a pain it can be.

That is awesome!!! Is he still doing well on the CD diet?

Anyone know if there is an DISboards app for Androids? I assumed there would be, since they have one for Apple. My Kindle uses Android stuff so it would be nice to have an app, instead of going through through the web. Although, this way I do get to use my green FONT and . I can't do that with my iPhone app.

Pumba: I have come to the conclusion that there are waayyy too many Negative Nancys on the Disboards. We will put on our blinders to them.

It's called Babe's chicken. The only app they have is salad with their house dressing. Well it's less like salad and more like just chopped up iceberg lettuce with their sweet house dressing. When they bring you your salad (with super cold bowls) you get homemade biscuits. The tables have butter, honey, and syrup for the biscuits. At that location the only meat option is chicken fried steak and fried chicken (each person gets a leg, wing, thigh, and breast). Then the only side options are creamed corn (so good and the only kind I will eat), mashed potatoes, and cream gravy. The sides are all you can eat, you just can't take them home if you don't finish them. I have a breast and thigh left. I always just eat the leg and wing while we're there because the breast and thigh heat up better.

Wookies: You seriously have my mouth watering at your above restaurant description!! Yummo!

It's gotten to be the same way with my family and hub's, too. Last trip, we didn't tell anyone... going to be the same with the next one, too, I think. Just not worth the bother of having to explain or lessen our excitement for their sake. That's why I love you guys! We all just "get it"...

Miss I knew you all would understand!! And I am so trying one of those adult Dole Whips in May!!

Jeanette: $2000??? Amazing! BTW I am glad to hear you were well looked after by your DS, and that you are feeling better.

You say Magical Vacations has an agency exclusive for Thanksgiving? I may have to get a quote. I think I'm down to either going then or over Christmas break. The big thing for me is that we cannot do deluxe if it is one of those weeks. I refuse to pay rack holiday rates at a deluxe again. :

Iheart: Did you get a quote??? It sounds like you need to start cracking the whip over there at your house!

Padawans: Sending out much sympathy to your beloved pooch and little DS!

Melissa: This is great news!! I am so happy for you guys!

DH is snoring here beside me on the couch, poor guys waits up for me to get home at night after work and sometimes he just can't handle it! Me I just keep on going...besides I had to catch up with my ladies!

OK, something really weird just happened! After my multi quote, I cannot see any smilies or tickers anymore!!!

All I see is black X's. Doggie is fine. I was a little surprised to find out my 10 year old did not know girls did not have balls. My kids are really naïve. I think I'm going to have to find some science books for next year that include a little human anatomy and....Yikes sex ed.

That should have read GF, not CD. I was cooking chili while posting that.

It really is a great place. We lucked out and got in on a Saturday with no wait. By the time we got out, you could barely walk on the sidewalk there were so many people out there waiting to get in.

Jen

What a sweetie!! When my DH worked nights, just before the DSs were born and after JM was born, as a fast food manager I would stay up for him. The only difference is that he didn't get home until 3 or 4 AM and I still had to get up with kids the next day.

I'm having the same problem now.

guess I should go and eat some of the leftovers from last nights SB party...I had wayyyyyyy to much food..

Yikes, some people. Glad you found us... we're definitely the laid-back group.

Thank you!

Kinda-sorta definitely maybe.

I so hear ya. I swear someone came into my house over the weekend and turned one small load of laundry into 4 large ones. Besides the rest of the house being a wreck.

This time, I am torn between my love of BC and my love of a $ well spent. My mind says BC or BCV but my wallet says not. I keep waffling back and forth between "screw it. let's go big" and "we can do x, y, z and not sweat the $$ if we stay somewhere more budget friendly". Add to it that we are thinking of bringing a set of Gparents to keep us company and help with our herd of little people.

We travel in Autumn 2013 and I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of resort rallying before we get on the plane.

Hello and welcome! I will be of absolutely no help whatsoever ... being that I, too, am a BC lover... so all you'll hear from me is: Go BC, Go BC!

I love yanking stuff out of it and putting it back in again. It was the motherboard battery. (Which I only figured out from having it happen before... but last time taking it out and re-seating it fixed it, this time it was dead-dead.)

BC... You feeling better now? Also, you've gotta post a pic of your new phone case! (They do have an Android version of the DisBoards app, by the way.)

Yeah, I think I would cry actual tears if the Epcot resorts had their rates raised to Monorail levels.

Kids. Love it.

Glad the fur-baby is okay... even despite the horrible Cone of Shame. (Ours gets the most pathetic expressions ever when she's got to wear her cone.)



Jen: Mine's broke too. Who broke my schtuff?! I'm so glad your DDs are all running at full-speed again. Adult Dole Whips... doesn't that sound so good? I could go for a New Orleans sized one right about now.

I keep falling hopelessly behind but I saw this and wanted to say

[padawans]

Miss How are things in Chicagoland? I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but my DH is from Chicago. I have a lot of CRAZY IRISH inlaws in Chicago. About once a year we get together with them for a night on the town usually this occurs when they are visiting California. It takes me about 2 weeks to recover from this one night. One of these days we are going to make it to Chicago again. My 8 year old is begging to see a Cubs game.

[babyberger]

DH and the kids are in bed, so I have some quiet, me time

Thanks for the congrats for Steven (and me)! We are SOOOO HAPPY

Pumba - I am sorry there are mod haters out there, that is just wrong But you have found the right, loving bunch!

i_heart - I really have checked everyday to get into a 1BR at BLT just for the extra space, but then I keep telling myself that I am nuts because then I will have to cook. We are going away for 12 days this summer but it is at a beach condo with a few days on each side at my parents house so there will be lots of cooking and dishes But there will also be lots of alcohol

Heather - WELCOME!!!! We all know too well about the struggle about our love for deluxes and the money it costs and could be used for "better" things. Prior to this past year the only deluxe we had stayed at (as a family) was WL, we usually stayed in a value or mod, or even offsite. But after the past few trips, I am hooked and it will take a lot for me to not stay in a deluxe. I know it sounds trivial, but having my morning coffee and an evening cocktail once the kids are in bed on the balcony makes every penny worth it to me!

Wookie - I LOVE the iPhone case!! Oh don't look at BC, it will just add to your confusion! You know YC is my absolute FAVORITE Hope the shower helped your headache and you are feeling better tonight. P.S. David is my hubby's name too Oh, yes, I knew you meant GF not CD, lol! He has adjusted great Dr told us today that he can NEVER EVER have wheat again, and he was really okay with it. When you have such severe erosion and ulcers by the time you are 7, I think you are willing to do what ever it takes to fix it.

padawans - I was so happy to get a 37% discount at CR this time around, much better than the 20% in Dec! But I know once we are out of value season the CR discounts go way back down with Poly and GF I am paying less for my CR TPV room this week than I paid for WL in Oct Its just the way the discounts fall. OMG I am about girls not having balls!

Jen - I know, it goes back to the conversations we have had about how they are when they are sick They just don't have the super powers we do

Miss - are you ready for some CR pictures....T-minus 36 hours

Just in case anyone did not see it, KOOK mentioned a possible RC over on my TR So shall we place bets on whether she can stay booked at FWC?????

Janet and Shelia and anyone else I missed


I have to say, as so many have said...I really truly appreciate all of you

Melissa
