Good morning to all of you lovely ladies!

Sarah: I'm so glad you're healing from your unwanted sidewalk excursion. No more boxing with it, now!

Pas: Oh, how flippin' ADORABLE! She is so pretty -- good job, mommy! Also, tell her one of the RCing Spectacle Experts said her glasses are "very, super stylish."

Dani: Glad to hear you're on the mend. Tick tock, tick tock... getting SO close!

---------------------

Re: the reduced EMH. I agree with Sarah. Although, it doesn't really affect us either. I tend to avoid the parks with EMH anyway. That's a bit backward, isn't it? It will definitely be interesting to see how this will affect the monorail schedule.

I'm just biding my time, trying not to go crazy with our house-guest. 8 days to go until I get my house back and a little privacy again. I'm horrible, aren't I?

[amandaw]

pas: Bree is absolutely adorable!!!

Sarah: Thank you so much for adding our trip to the list. I didn't realize how many of us will be going around the same time!

[Lillian Gracey]

I really want to know the EMH for January. Not like it matters because I'm only going to MK.

Add me to the weirdo list (JC, are you doing one of those, too?)

In the morning, I pass over 95 and I always look at the traffic heading south and wish I was down there heading to FL. I also wonder how many cars down there are heading to WDW (and they all have NJ plates, BTW)

I am basically healed from my "face plant". I have an itchy, scabby chin, and am a bit bruised, but have put it behind me. KOOK, you are so right about the parasol! Perhaps I could get one of the cool ones the GF maids carry during the parade of maids!

Is some vaseline on the scab at night alright, Jeanette? I must set the record straight, while I posted the fancy parasol photo, the idea was entirely pas130's. BTW, I love your parade of maids photo - too cute!

OMG Bree is GORGEOUS! I think she looks like her mama.

I just decided to order the photopass+ CD so I can have all of our photos. I hope we get it. They say to allow 14 days for delivery and we leave in 13(!!!).

No Kook, no official weirdo list, but if there was I would be on it

Dani, how are you, the doctor clear you to go back to work? How are the kids, healthy? So excited for you , you are the next to leave.

So I'm new to the Resort Changers board here, but I am ALWAYS changing my mind...about ADRs, our itinerary, resort, etc. Right now we're booked at CBR for 9/8-9/15 in a pirate room. (DS5, DD16mo, and DH). This was a change from our original POR reservation. Now I'm thinking of upgrading to BC...or 5 nights at CBR and 2 nights at Poly. Thoughts?? Never stayed at CBR or BC before.

Hello! You'll fit right in here...

I can't offer any advice on CBR but I adore the Beach Club. Your DS would love the pool, I bet. The Poly would be fab too with the lil' one, especially being on the monorail. I'm of no help whatsoever!

I'm cleared with a referral to a rumatologist to see why I'm always in pain, but it's already been said I probably have fibromyalgia because my mom has it.
Kids are happy and healthy. I took the princess to lunch after the doctor today and there were some stores so I picked up some new sippy cups for our trip. I can't believe we are so close already! Someone from the August FB group said she ordered her FP+ CD last Wednesday and it arrived today so now I'm at ease about that. If all else fails I can fib and say I forgot the package at home. I'm sure since you can buy the package at the World they'd be able to accomodate me.

Welcome!!! I LOVE CBR! Seriously and I think a CBR/Poly split is PERFECT! Those are 2 of my favorite resorts! You can get away with the 2 full size beds at CBR since your kids are so young. Your DD may be in a pack n play, but I have to plan a bed for mine because there's no way in heck the queen is going to sleep on anything that isn't a bed! I spoiled her as a newborn and now I can't get rid of her!

Makes perfect sense! Hmm, got me thinking: perhaps backpacks are the precursor to purse obsession for the girls? Shoe-obsession has no "gateway drug" it seems.

What will DD8 go for, ya think?

Haha, that counts to me!

Hubs is desperately trying to get us to leave our umbrella stroller at home for this hopefully-happening trip. I just don't think our kiddo would have the stamina for all of that walking -- even with taking it slow and taking lots (LOTS) of breaks. So, in the interest of less whining and a more pleasant time for everyone, I've convinced him we could park it at the beginning of each of the "Lands" / areas and reclaim it when we're headed out of that particular area. Not sure if that makes sense or not, but he's always the one pushing so it sounded good to him. (I reminded him about walking to DHS from BC and through the WS -- how long those walks were and how she'd be tired before we got to do anything. He agreed.)

Thank you.

Our favorite one-credits in World Showcase are probably Via Napoli and Chef's de France. Our two older boys currently identify Chef's as their favorite restaurant in Epcot. I'm also coming back around to San Angel Inn, because I think it's improved since La Hacienda appeared. I like both. For our quick MNSSHP trip, we have ADRs for Via, Chef's and San Angel. Between those three, I think it just depends on which menu you prefer. We just love dinners in World Showcase, Illuminations and a stroll around the Boardwalk in the evening. Then you'll usually find my husband at the B&C take-out ordering chocolate malts for boys who should already be sleeping!

P.S. Not living there anymore, but grew up in NoVa!

We do love Chef's de France. We can totally scrap Captain's Grille and go to WS for dinner. It's just a short walk.

I grew up on the Jersey Shore. (Fist Pumpin') LOL We had some of the best Italian food ever (evah). We like it here

Are you seeing my dilemma...so HRH wants 1 night BC/2 nts RPR. Problem is the US discount has a 3 nt. minimum...so

Plan A~ RPR, Mears to hotel & back (or rental car so I can do the MNSSHP)
Plan B just stay BC

So since I can't decide...I am keeping both reservations

I got a mailer for May too, but the discount ended May 20 (right before our trip) How can I say no to 200 bucks for a CL room!!!


It's typical me, working too much. And using up all my energy and reserve for my babies...I will make it up to him at Disney!!!!

Okay you sound a lot like me earlier. We decided on 3 nights at PBH (or is it R) only because Hard rock was booked solid. We stayed at RPR last year. The rooms are small but we LOVED the hotel and my DS's both loved the pool at night. I've been hanging out on the transportation thread trying to figure out car rental info. There are some GREAT deals for Alamo rentals. We were able to rent a car for 1 week (7 full days) for $79 full sized. We like to rent a car so that we can get to Disney early and we can go on a grocery run. We will turn the car in at the Dolphin and take the ME when we finally check out of the YC.

Oh, I gave up on getting a room at CR and switched back to YC last night. I was afraid that if I waited too close to time to go, I would lose any chances of booking a regular room (no CL) especially since there is a new room discount out now.
