I was thinking about that earlier.

I was sooo close to taking it home last night, but the insurance company didn't send their information before they closed. I was sitting in it and everything! Oh well, soon enough!

I bet you are excited about Las Vegas!! I am looking forward to it too! I will be depressed about having to leave Disneyland, but stopping in Las Vegas for a couple days should help cheer me up!

I know, I hate waiting.

I just realized that I am going to Vegas before you. I think that ought to be interesting.

I will be interested in hearing about it before we go. You should try and take a picture of the Planet Hollywood for me if you can, lol.

DisneyStitch626 · 05-11-2010, 10:22 AM

Now that we have choices again on hotels, I am really tempted to book at a Disney hotel, but they are so expensive. Is it really $1500 for 6 nights at the Paradise Pier??? Their 40% off deal ends on Sept 29th. Our first day is Oct. 1st. They couldn't have extended that one more week?? Do you think they will have deals for October coming up soon? I hope so. Booking at the HOJO will be ok too, it's just hard to pass up the chance to stay at a Disney hotel.

The deals won't be up for a while. You can always call and ask them if you can get any deals that are announced later on any reservations you make now. It never hurts to ask.

Well I booked the HOJO!!! We decided the Disney hotels were probably just going to be too much. I got the DISboards discount and am currently trying to bid on an Entertainment card, so hopefully our dates get added to the list!!! Yay!!!

Good idea. Better to have the bird in hand than wait for another one and take a chance on not getting the next one.

I am in love with my new car! I picked up a friend (who is getting the exact same car, even colour, in a few days) and we drove it all night last night. It had 25 kms on it when I picked it up, now it has 160.

The two of us, and another friend who was just tagging along, decided to take a few cars for test drives on Saturday. We both liked the Lancer already, but when we both drove it that day, we were set on it. Neither of us would budge on the colour either. It is such a nice blue.

I totally didn't think I would get approved, so I tried having a "who cares what they come back with" state of mind. And it must have worked, cause when they called to tell me I got approved, my stomach started doing flips and didn't stop all the rest of that day.

I was the first one to find out that I was approved, so I got the first pick of the car. I picked the only blue one they had on the lot that was in the model I got approved for. But they never told me it was the last one until after I signed the papers. Now my friend has to wait for them to find another one at a different dealership. Sorry friend! She could have gone for any other colour, but she was set on that blue. I probably would have been the same if I was the one that got second pick.

It's just so weird that we are going to have the same car in the same colour. I'll just have to make sure to park away from her when we go places!

I am really happy with my choice and really happy I was able to get approved for it on my own. I feel so grown up now! Lol.

kaoden39 · 05-12-2010, 10:03 AM

Yay for the car!

DisneyStitch626 · 05-12-2010, 10:40 PM

I thought I would post some pictures of my new Lancer while it's still brand new and clean.

I am in LOVE
