Oops! - forgot to say - I think Ellis did well at his grading today... we'll know soon if he's now a BLUE BELT

Yay Ellis!! I'm sure he will get that Blue Belt! That's awesome!

Woo hoo! A F.O.! (Now for that EEEEEElusive Googley!!)

Congrats on the new home! I feel ya on the teenage end. DS is supposed to help DH with the jungle we call a backyard then they are supposed to go to the shooting range afterward. He still has yet to get out of bed and it's 11 am.

I am starting to feel you all - and I only have a PRE-teen!!! Had to run errands this morning and she was still sleeping. Woke her up to tell her we were leaving and she asked if she could sleep. I said ok (but still worried - overprotective mom thing going on.....) She has a cell phone for "emergencies" and I made her keep it next to her bed.

it's actually out of Calgary.. a small town about 1/2 hour away called Okotoks the perks are "no more under the flight path/ no more right beside the major highway" and when I say we are under the flight path I mean we are right where they are practicly landing... no it's not just look up and see a plane.. it's hey the plane is landing in our livingroom! and when I say right beside the highway.. it is a block away... arg.. the noise is freaking loud!! 20 years I have had to listen to it... the new house.... sooooo quiet.... so nice... coffee in the morning.. a puzzle to ponder over and a soft breeze blowing through the patio door....ahhhhh zen......

Yay on the new house! I'm one of the newbies on the board - but I can't wait to get to know you! I grew up on Air Force bases all around the country/world and got used to the sound of planes, but I don't think I have ever been THAT close to a runway! Enjoy the peace and quiet!

Hello everyone!

Things are really getting busy now. 10 Days til we're off to WDW!

When we get back, it's time to switch into high gear to get ready for the cruise.

I should probably know this already, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Does anybody have any recommendations on park hopper ticket discounts at WDW? Is there really any savings to buying in advance over when you get there?

We usually buy annual passes and get the DVC discount. I haven't had to buy 7-Day Park Hopper tickets for many years. These tickets are for friends travelling with us.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Matthew

Matthew - there are a couple of advantages to buying the tickets ahead of time - but not much. I am not a DVC member and we last went to WDW in 2006 and I got our tickets through UndercoverTourist.com - but with you leaving in only 10 days, it may not be worth the stress of wondering if they will come in time before you leave.

Good luck and have a fun trip! Which resort are you staying at (living vicariously through the other board posters!)

 

[gstroop28]

Well - very quiet tonight... gonna sign off and put the kids to bed (oldest DD is watching DVRd show "I survived a Japanese Game Show" - laughing her tooshy off.)

NIghty Night!
