09/21/08 SSMC08 S.S. Member Cruise 2008 - Part 2!

[JOANNEL]

Good Morning to all! Just wanted to pop in and say hi...The 2 older girls started school yesterday, and things have been just a little busy! They went to the Jonas Brothers concert Sunday night, and were extremely tired Monday morning...I'm just glad they only had 2 1/2 hrs of school! Today is a full day for them.

As far as the reservations for Palo brunch go, we have a table for 2, I'm not sure if they will make that into a table for 4 or not, but I can check if anyone is interested!

I can't believe that we are getting so close! I am starting to get everything together for Tim's dad with their reservations, airfare, and all that good stuff, as we will be unreachable while hes arriving in Orlando! I did notice that the girls airfare down on Saturday morning went from $149 to $89...So we got a credit on it!!!

Happy Tuesday to all!

I didn't know airfares could go down- how nice is that.

Thanks for the congrats!!!

We've got all our motel reservations lined up. I have an Excel Spreadsheet that's our official vacation checklist. We will have the ceremonial printing of the checklist this week-end!!!!

I know Todd has a table for 1. I forget what time it is.

Thanks but you better return it. I need to find the WI first. They are hard to come by down here. Enjoy! and thaks again.

Amazon has Wii in stock for $249

I traded my 2002 Ford Focus for a new Saturn Astra Saturday! It's really really red. I will post a picture soon. I'm debating on whether to drive it or our Honda Civic to the cruise. The Civic probably gets better mileage.

Congrats on the new car.

We just got Wii fit the other day...I have used it 3 days on a row now!! Its so much better than going to the health club. I do it in the living room, and then I'm done. I do have an extra one, if you are interested. Tim picked up 2 at Costco the other day when they got the shipment thinking one of his employees wanted it...And they had already purchased it! He's going to return it this week if not! Let me know! I think it was like $85?

Sounds like fun Tina. What kind of exercise does the wii fit offer? I played a Wii for the first time a few weeks ago.

We do a road trip book every year even though we really don't change the route often. We put all our paperwork for the hotels etc. in it. I also do a spreadsheet listing all our reservation numbers etc. I'll have to get that updated soon.

They have Yoga, Aerobics, strength training, and balance games. I mainly use the Yoga and Aerobics. It had me sweating after 20 minutes. But I was still having fun!

OK we booked at OKW for the 20th. The day before....now I just have to find a room for the 25th and 26th.

I called disney and they said they didn't have anything in a 2 bedroom. I looked for a 1/studio connection. Nothing. I even suggested a ...ewww value room, which surprise:

Nothing there. Only had available studio rooms, 1 in each of the hotels. Won't work for us. Kids are too little to stay at a different resort. =(


anyone have any suggestions?

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

I'll help you out...now your down to 11...i'd stay and play, but I have to take a nap before work.

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

Geez its sooo tempting to play the game by myself, but so much more fun to battle someone for it. =( I'm getting discouraged trying to find a room for thursday and friday. =( We might have to stay off disney property. =( My heart is breaking.

Work finally let me know that I got both weekends off =( looks like they may have told me too late. =(

<---------my 1 lonely pirate.

 

[dejnosluvmickey]

We have never stayed at OKW...any suggestions at so what is important to see while we are there?? best pool locations??? best place to eat there??

Wayne is actually excited to stay at a different hotel. We loved SSR, wernt' too thrilled with AKV =( Hopefully OKW isn't a dissapointment.

Anyone feel like going to work for me tonight?

I know the feeling about the room, we had that problem before the Member cruise in 06. We didnt book soon enough and ended up staying off property!

Where did you end up staying>? Maybe they have a good deal for us. The did give us a good deal on Hilton Head, but that is quite a drive.

We may just end up staying in Jacksonville and visiting family =(

We have stayed at Old Key West and have used the main pool by the lobby, it was very nice and not to crowded although we were there in October. As for eating there we didn't eat there at all, we ate in our rooms, sorry I couldn't help you there.

I didn't feel like going to work for me...lol so sorry about that!

OKW was nice, we stayed there in February 07. We enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The main pool was great. Other than the pool we realy didnt do much else there. We did use the boat to DTD alot, and that was nice!
