Oh, I thought your daughter was still in high school, she looks so young

So this is her first year in college too?
My son's as well.

Well, we won't tell her you said that! Yes, she is 19 next month and my son is 22 in December. He is at GA Tech and is in his 4th year of the 5 year plan because he works a co-op job every other semester.

With our 33rd wedding anniversary coming up this Friday, thought I'd post a pic from that very "special day" in 1975!!!​

​

great picture. I dig those shoes. Di

 

[disgrits]

I like your new hair color, Rose!

Do you like it?

I am attempting to post some pictures of my daughter from the game yesterday. I realize only a handful of folks on here know us personally, so I apologize in advance if this is a "come see my pictures" moment for some of you. She is the flyer and the one on the right with the team mascot.

great pictures of your daughter. She is beautiful. My granddaughter Asiah has cheered 3 years in a row for Midgets. She loves it. Di

Well, a ruined Christmas gift for my boy......

While I was at book group, we got a call from one of my neighbors. Rob and Derek (my almost 13 year old) both picked up the phone at the same time, and, almost immediately, my neighbor, who thought she was only talking to Rob, says, "Rob, I know y'all got the kids "Rock Band for Christmas, they just went on sale at Walmart." Derek heard the whole thing.....It is his and Alex's gift from Santa. He has known about Santa for a year or two, but was totally bummed that the surprise was ruined (I think he even shed a few tears over it.) It couldn't be helped, really. My neighbor doesn't know she ruined it, and I am not telling her. She would feel terrible. Rob told him that not to get too upset, there could be other surprises in store.

He and Alex have no idea that we are taking them to WDW.....I think we will just go to school on the 18th and check them all out early and hit the road. They won't know what hit 'em.

HI Di. Bye Di. I'm heading to bed.....

 

[Walt & Di]

Hi all! Well......a chain of events this week has caused us to cancel our cruise plans. We were scheduled to use our Marriott HHI resort in July. Found out we aren't able to go so we deposited it with II. Our week qualifies for a bonus week (a reduced rate) at any number of resorts world wide. It costs us nothing if we use it so we decided to keep our eyes open. This morning, I was able to book a 2 bedroom at Marriott's Surf Club in Palm Beach Aruba for next Labor Day for $299. Too good to pass up. We just can't do both.

I hope you all don't mind me popping in once in a while to see how you are all doing! Have a wonderful cruise! If only money grew on trees......

Money does grow on trees in Wisconsin. Di

 

[Walt & Di]

So sorry to hear you are cancelling the cruise Susan, but yes, do pop in and say hi from time to time.......

double ditto. Di

We had a great weekend. We went to see the beautiful Texas Hill Country on our bike. It was a beautiful day(great for riding) and full of fun. We ate at a restaurant out in the woods. It had wonderful food. We rode with 14 people. After we ate we went to the Sister Creek Winery. We have drove by it alot of times. Never stopped. We bought 3 bottles of wine. The wine can only be bought at the winery. Not for sale in stores. After I got home, went over daughters house to proofread her two papers and inspect my grandsons first mowing job. He did the front yard. Pretty good job. Kristen decorated inside and outside house for Halloween. Now everyone is in bed so I think it is time for me to go too. I will need to get kids ready for school tomorrow since Kristen has to be at work early. This week is Drug Free Red Ribbon week. Tomorrow the kids need to wear a college shirt. Both want to wear Aggie football shirts. My brainwashing is working. My other daughter graduated from ATM 2001. It is a great school. Talk to you all later. Welcome back Cass and Rob. Hope you had a fun time and looking forward to your trip report. Di

To answer the original question, PLA would be the preferred rotation for the reasons Andy listed.

I just go where Jeff tells me

Caution on the linking, you can NOT make any online reservations (i.e. excursions, spa) when anyone you are linked to is in their reservation. I would recommend linking AFTER the 90 day mark.

Are we linked Jeff?

What a shame

I seriously dont know how you manage to keep a secret about going to WDW though - I was leaning out the window yelling and squeeling to Ellis as soon as I'd booked it Yes... the neighbours think I'm crazy too

[goofyfreak]

Good morning. Got back late last night and haven't had time to catch up from the weekend. The party was a success and everyone had a great time. My parents loved their scrapbook. Time well worth spent. Gotta run get ready for work.
Have a great Monday everyone.

Good Morning All..........

Andy,

What is the latest on changed rotations for the Magic? I know they were putting you in the same restaurant on nights 2 and 3 for some time. Have they switched back to the regular PLAPLAP now?

To answer the original question, PLA would be the preferred rotation for the reasons Andy listed.

I think we had that different rotation because we were on a 5 day cruise. I don't know if the regular 7 day cruise rotations have been switched like our 5 day was.
