08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 2

[TheTXTaylors5]

DD is like her daddy. She absolutely is a night person. It makes getting up at 7AM for pre-K absolutely difficult. She easily goes late into the night on weekends and hates going to bed at 8PM.

We are thinking of getting DD this for her big gift this Hannukah.

Anyone else with a toddler seen this? It is supposed to be one of THE hot toys this year.

DD5 rode the bike toy at Toys R Us last week. She loved it! However, she just got a new bike for her birthday. So, she won't be getting that toy this year.

Also, the Secret Mickey is not a "holiday specific" exchange. Anyone can participate. So, please don't feel excluded.

I'm about 90% there on buying into SSR. But I'm trying to figure out how many points.

How comfortable are the sofa beds.

And for Bill and Jennifer....
I saw on the DVC forum that if you close by the end of November and use a Disney Visa for part of your deposit that you get 500 Disney Dollars!

We bought 200 and that is a good number so far. I think 300 would be as much as we could use.

My 34 year old DS slept on the sofa bed and said it was OK. It's not the regular bed but it's not bad.

So... life has decided to take a big ole chunk out of my hindquarters.

Was all set last night with the quote for this cruise... got the TA to offer an On Board Credit... printed it all out, put on my sequined formal gown and presented it to DH a la Vanna White. He asks me one question.... just *one*.... which I go to look up on my computer, only to find out my computer has imploded.

So, he stayed up till 2am reformating it and reinstalling Windows, etc. I've been told to test drive it today and see if it holds or see if it shuts itself down again. If it bites the dust again today, we go out tonight to buy a new computer. If it holds, I can request another quote for the cruise. But he's saying the money is only going to one or the other.

I'm kinda bummed

So I get to share this TMI dream I had last night. In my dream, I kept having this sensation that I had to go #1. I mean it was very strong. So in my dream, I would go to a potty (in several places since I move around from dream to dream) and nothing would come out. Suddenly at 3AM or so, I sat up and realised I really needed to go. I got to the potty and thankfully I went.

Thank goodness that my subconcious kept me from wetting the bed at 30-something.

Sorry for the TMI.

Wait 'til 50!

We are driving from TX to FL.

Been there ..... done that ..... not only from Texas but Oklahoma City too.

Walmart lists that bike for $10 less than TRU and no shipping. I am going to look tonight. I have the feeder out and still no hummingbirds. I think I really made them mad by taking it away.

This is me in the Club 33 elevator.

Angie and Dennis have eaten there.

Brack: Thanks for the photo. Even the elevator looks so "posh"!

They may start pecking at your window because you took their food away earlier. Birds can be testy like that!

Okay, now that the pirate is gone everyone goes away.

(I know Bill had a meeting to attend, but what is everyone else doing?)

They probably went back to work which is what I have been doing all along and missing the 's

Wal-mart usually has great prices on toys, even lower than Toys R Us most of the time.

I didn't realize so many people were staying at WDW after the cruise too. I "casually" mentioned to Bill that I might be interested in staying a night near Epcot (our favorite park) after the cruise. He asked me today if I wanted some good news. . .

- Jennifer

I hope you gave him a BIG hug and a BIG kiss!!!!!

 

[brack]

I hate to leave the board but I do still have some "WORK" to do!

 

[BethC1952]

Just stopping in once more before I leave (in a half hour).

Bill--We've used DU for all of our WDW/DCL vacations since 12/2003. We're very happy with them.

Jennifer--We always go back to WDW for at least two nights after our cruises. It helps make going back to real life a bit easier!

We're doing the parks a couple of times before the cruise, since it's a big family vacation. "The Kids" want to go to at least one park each day, but we "old folks" are looking for a lot more down time! We often go to WDW and never set foot inside a park. The last time I was in a park was a year ago. We spent five days at Pop Century in March, but we just hung around and relaxed. It was great.

Well, it's time to start shutting down the office. They're doing some work on the electrical system overnight, and I have to shut down all of our equipment--fax, copiers and scanners, computers, etc. It's going to take me a while!

Until later

So, I take it you were happy with them? Just kidding! We are always open to new TA that can give us a deal. As Bill previously stated, our old TA is no longer with AAA. Our new contact knows NOTHING about Disney. She was misquoting all kinds of things to Bill. He told her to get out of our reservation before she changed or cancelled anything!

- Jennifer

Of course I did it tactfully.

JsMom2 is gonna miss another pirate or two by the time she gets back from line dancing or painting or whatever it is she is doing.

I am just wondering if she has to order a different type of waffles where she is?

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

I am off with the kids for a cook-out at Bill's work. It should be fun! They're going to have bounce houses, face painters and even some of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders there. I have a cute photo of Cole (DS2) with them last year. He is a charmer!

I should be online later. Until then. . .
