Ahem...well, that was short lived.... (note Ticker change)

I did, but it's through Southwest, so I can just change it once August fares come out.
Yeah, after we did all of that, DH got word that the only other person in his office, (who is currently in the middle of a 7 month deployment and getting back in March), was planning on doing a Disney cruise with his family the week we wanted to go....
He's deployed, he will need the vacation more than us....I would want DH's fellow soldiers to give us the same consideration...so they can go. We've got August.
Ahhh that makes sense. Yes I bet that family does need a vacation badly. That is great about Southwest isn't it?? I like knowing the option is there if we needed to change.

I was worried at first, but now it seems like GF CL was meant to be!
And I understand about needing to let the 'other guy' take a vacation! AND, now you can focus on the mine train!!!

Did I miss your birthday! If so I am soooooooo sorry!
Ooh berry cobbler sounds divine too! That is my middle DD, she did that pic herself on the iPad!
Oh boy, am I really finally popping up on page 9 on the new thread?? Sheesh it has been too long. Work is pretty busy and I've meant to get on here to catch up for over a week now.
Well my birthday bash was just super! We did it all "crazy-like" but it was what we wanted to do, and it worked. Just DH and I stayed at the SSR Treehouse ...

FYI, we cancelled CG or this time, but we'll be able to watch Wishes from our dinner table for our next CR ADR in Feb/Mar. We wouldn't have seen Wishes this time since it was a Halloween Party night and HalloWishes started later (oooops, I forgot this juicy tidbit when I booked this CG 7pm ADR).
Hello fellow MDer! It's funny, I lived in MD most of my life, and met DH who was in the military... he drug me all over (including the middle of the Pacific) just to end up an hour away from 'home'. It's been very fortunate, though, to have my folks within a short drive. Not to mention the fact they get quality grandbaby time!!!Dimndgal1: Another MD -- albeit transplanted elsewhere -- gal here.
Mine Train!!!! Our whole justification for next years trip... Would have been crazy if it wasn't open yet!
Plus...and this would ONLY be my child....when DD9 found out about April, she was happy, and then immediately sad, because it meant she would have to miss 2 days of school...which meant she would not be eligible for the perfect attendance trophy....It wasn't anything that she wanted me to cancel the trip over, but she was very upset about it.
Problem solved.
Hannah: Are you going to try and miss that Columbus day weekend? The crowds sound CRAZY. This'll be our first time in Oct. We normally go in Sept. so it'll be interesting to compare the heat now to when we usually are there.
Sheila: You are so right -- It's coming up TOO SOON! My lists are great and all but these cubes aren't packing themselves. Have you been looking at the temps down there?
Candace: Ahhh. That's a nice change. When's the mine train due to finish?
No way... didn't miss it! I was just incognito about it... thank you, pal. Need to see if I have any topping to turn into crumble.
Also, I'm going to see if G-ma will stump up the dough for that Miss M Christmas purchase. Is that awful?
Awwww, you had a BRILLIANT birthday celebration! Belated wishes to you and our Koh. What other Libra am I missing? We just got silly heirloom apples and went to one of my favorite breweries for my shindig -- positively pedestrian compared to yours!
Magic & Jeanette: Figured I'd share this with you two, I took a quiz earlier about which state most reflects your attitude and got New Jersey. So, what does that say about me?
Step: Did you make that change?

It's snowing here. Can you believe that? That FL sunshine is going to come as a HUGE shock to the system
Did a quick run by Target for some schtuffs for the trip. (I didn't need any laundry detergent though, Sheila... I checked after I read that. )
Hello! I'm fairly new to RC board, but had to ask about the Treehouses!!! We're considering them for our trip with DH's family. We would need 3 rooms or 2 Treehouses, and his family is VERY outdoorsy, so we're thinking of doing either WL or the TV... since his family is very picky, I don't see much room changing once we decide, either.
Glad you had a great birthday trip!!!

I saw that you normally go to WDW in September, so I was hoping to get your experience!!! This is my first Sept trip EVER -- when we had APs, we got them the last week of October and moved the last week of August. I was torn between Columbus Week (F&W!!!) and the middle of September (lower crowds) - DD has 3 days off Columbus week, two days off in Sept. so I had less guilt about missing school. We decided on Sept because the crowds were lower and prices are lower... and because the first month of a new fiscal year seems to be CRAZY!!!!
Anyway, other than hurricanes (which DH is a magnet for so I'm already prepared for it no matter when we go) and humidity, how is Sept?

Snow!
It's funny because I totally woke up from a dream this morning that the ground was covered...
Disney has officially said "Early 2014" and "Spring 2014" as far as the opening for the Mine Train... We know how secretive Disney likes to be about stuff, so hedging my bets on it being done for April was a little worrisome...
I think August is a much better bet!
...LOL.... I am now going in 42 days on my FIRST December trip!!! so Excited to be meeting up with Jeanette, Janet , Linda, Rosie, Melissa, and perhaps some other favourite RCer friends.-- Deena, and Linda/ Magic if they can come! It sounds like it'll be pretty busy with how hard it is to even change a room, or make and ADR, everything is pretty booked solid! I will reserve judgement for this week of the year (DEC 3-9) until I come home! I am wondering myself how to pack and what to wear! I don't have many summer clothes so it will be fun to see what I might wear!
I hate crowds, and I hate extreme heat, so I think January/ Maybe even November might be the best times for me..... Hoping for lovely weather in December

Awe! I heart, so sorry to hear! Hoping your crew feels better ASAP! You're BRAVE to consider Christmas! How wonderful to celebrate in Disney, but those crowds scare me! I couldn't do it! I'm hoping I survive Dec 3-9!!!!! :rofl:Well, it looks like I'm going to have to cancel. DS10 went to bed with a 103 fever that I just can't get down and DD2 is still up because she can't breathe when she lays down. The other boys aren't doing much better either Maybe by some stroke of odd luck they will all be fine tomorrow, but I just don't see it. The only good news is that our flights are SW so no penalties. I've already got my eye on 12/18-12/25. The idea of Christmas morning in WDW is somewhat taking the sting out of losing F&W and MNSSHP. Somewhat. Maybe a nice CM will take pity on me and let me change my MNSSHP for MVMCP tix? Sorry for the me, me, me post. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.
