What is the cost for the MVMCP? What extras do they do there for the extra cost? I am sure my dd(7) would love to go!princess:

The Disney website will let you know as will www.wdwinfo.com under the special event section. It will only show this year's pricing, dates and activities but it will give you an idea. We did MNSSHP last year it loved it. I would do the Christmas party this year but it doesn't start early enough for us since we board the Magic 11/07 for the first leg of our back to back cruises.
 
Snow conversations - we only got a few inches last night and all schools are a go here. We are supposed to get a few inches today, again tonight and tomorrow so that could be 6 to 8 inches before we are done. ...and the snowblower is broke!
 
...and the snowblower is broke!

:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

DD8 went to school this morning although all the school boards surrounding the city of Ottawa cancelled their buses. DD3's pre-school just called - they are cancelling this afternoon's classes. I don't think it was too smart for the buses to run this morning because it will be a nightmare this afternoon. I've already shovelled twice this morning.

To top it all off, we are currently enduring a transit strike - no public transportation at all - I'm glad I'm a SAHM.:thumbsup2

We just got pricing for a 2 day visit to DW before the cruise :scared1: :scared1: - 2 nights at POFQ, Quick Service Dining and 2 days of Park Tickets adds up to $1100.:headache: :headache: I had forgotten that since our youngest is now 3, she's going to cost us $$. It's kind of hard to justify spending that much money for just 2 days. I've got to think of a way around this - we may actually visit Universal :eek: instead but I really want to stay at POFQ so we can visit Downtown Disney and use ME to get back and forth to the airport (we have to meet BIL & family on the Friday before the cruise and are staying at MCO Hyatt)..... decisions, decisions.......

That's crazy for 2 days! Geez, Disney sure knows how to pack a punch! We have 2 adult left-over 1 day tickets so we are going to use those on Friday the 13th. Then we only have to buy 2 kids 1 day, 1 park tickets. I found Buena Vista Suites online through Mousesavers and Allears. It was just completely renovated and looks nice enough. It comes with a hot breakfast buffet every morning. We may go that route since we will have a car rental anyway. It is really hard to decide this far out. Disney may have a ridiculous great deal in the Fall because of the economy which will throw the whole plan out the window.

I am going to lunch today and then more of the same...glued to the computer and planning away my life savings.:surfweb: :eek:

I did actually clean a few things today...not like yesterday!
 

I found Buena Vista Suites but can't seem to get those dates (it won't accept it past Oct. 1/09). I'm going to keep trying and yes, I managed to empty the dishwasher today and even get some other stuff done....
 
I know this sounds completely uncruise related, but, does anyone know where I can find a Disney pocket calendar? I would like one for the new year...I am finding my dates for appointments and meetings are all messed up!
 
Hey Binky1! I agree that if you wait it out there will definitely be some specials come the fall. We hope to stay at POFQ pre cruise as well but I am hoping that Disney extends the buy 4 nights get three nights free for the fall or the free dining is offered. We usually fly out of Buffalo so I will look more intently when it is time to book the flights about six months ahead. Here is hoping for some great savings for a fall stay at the world!:banana: :banana:
 
I know I should wait - I'm just SUPER anxious!! We might fly out of Syracuse this time. I need to do something else with my time!! Hmm, maybe I should start thinking about putting away those darn Christmas decorations instead of spending all my time looking up Florida deals!!;) ;) :surfweb: :surfweb:

Thanks for giving me a smack upside the head!! I needed it!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
 
Can someone tell me how to print something (a door magnet) off photobucket? Several Disers have graciously posted their albums to share. I copied and printed in out of MS Word, but it didn't come out very clearly. I was wondering if I did something wrong. Am I the only one printing door signs this early?...tell me its not so! :surfweb:

Have you checked the Disney store? :idea: Also check at Wal-Mart and the Dollar Tree stores. Believe me I find all kinds of Disney stuff at these stores. I'll keep an eye out for you.:thumbsup2 Good luck.

You may be the first one printing them but I'm definitely collecting them!! As for printing....did you save the image as a jpg and then print it off in Word? You might want to try and edit it first in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, Edit is the far right icon and then print it off from there rather than trying to import it into Word. It loses it's sharpness when you import it into a Word document.

Good luck!

I'll try that...I've printed about 4 on magnetic paper...I am such a dork!

No, no, not a dork - just a keener.....:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I finally managed to take down the Christmas decorations today - I've just been too "busy" :surfweb: - so I guess it's time to bite the bullet and get to my To Do List of which of course, #1 is Make a List!!:lmao: :lmao:

Keep warm (it's -20 windchill here today)!!

Cheers,

You crack me up...:surfweb:
 
Hi everyone!

I just checked the spreadsheet and there are only 2 folks that put anything new in (i.e., since my last update). One of them only put in a name so that's not much info. The other person entered yes to just about everything (i.e., FE, DISmeet, dressing for Pirate nite). 3 people (but no idea how young the presumably child is). First Disney cruise but not first cruise. If you want me to repost the numbers and such here so they'd be easier to find let me know and I'll go try to dig it up this weekend.

Hypermommy, I wonder if you got that virus that has been all over DW. I was reading on another thread that people were tossing their, not so tasty "cookies" all over the park and at the resorts.

Are we doing t-shirts or lanyards for the group? Saw that on a thread as well. :thumbsup2

We're all better now, thanks for asking. Fortunately our stomach things for me and the two eating machines were a 24 hour bug. But King Charming's head was stuffed for quite a while. Of course, I would never say anything rude about KC and his stuffed up head. :rotfl2:

We did t-shirts for our last cruise. I did a design of the deck and then put Mickey and Minnie stick figures on for families (i.e., with the right number of kids and right gender and such). Binky, think we could do something with our logo graphic? Would you be okay with that? Would you want to design it so it can be individualized for each family or would you want me to? Don't want to step on toes.

Have done nothing today but think about the cruise - could be 'cause we're expecting 15 - 20 cm overnight and will probably have a snow day tomorrow - the kiddos have only been back at school for 2 days - Lord, give me strength!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

I want snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're so lucky!!!

I would do the Christmas party this year but it doesn't start early enough for us since we board the Magic 11/07 for the first leg of our back to back cruises.

Oh hush! :rotfl2:

I've got to think of a way around this - we may actually visit Universal :eek:

I'm not talking to anyone else who stays at that OTHER wanna-be park.

Just kidding!!! But you may want to look at the attractions.. well, they're really just rides.... there just doesn't seem to be as much for little kids over there. I knew we went several years ago for a week and to be quite honest I was bored by Wednesday. But as they says, your mileage may vary. I sure do understand that cost bit!

Hmm, maybe I should start thinking about putting away those darn Christmas decorations instead of spending all my time looking up Florida deals!!

Nah! Just leave 'em up until next year. That'll be one less thing you have to do when you get back off the cruise.

Keep warm (it's -20 windchill here today)!!

Okay, we'll keep warm. In fact, I'm about to head outside to enjoy some time with King Charming. That's what we've been doing these days. Let the kids have the TV and the game system and we head outside where it's quiet and we can just chat.

And talk about the cruise, of course!

Catch you guys later on.
 
Thought I would share that we just experienced a heck of a jolt (earthquake) out here is Southern Cal! Nearly knocked DD7 off my bed while we were reading. And the first thing I wanted to do is check in with my cruisin' peeps!!! Yea, I know, I've lost it all together!popcorn:: Stay tuned for more after-shocks! Anyone up?
 
Hey Hypermommy... Do I need to redo the spread sheet once our shore excursions are figured out?:surfweb: There is so much to do and so little time. :scared1: Thank Disney we have two days at CC.:cheer2: I can't wait.

Thanks Kim
 
We didn't even feel the earthquake because we were in the car driving home from California Adventure. We ended up only spending two hours there and never made it into Disneyland, but enjoyed a nice dinner at Downtown Disney. I got a $69 credit (for the birthday promotion) toward a new annual pass :cool1:. That was GREAT. I'm just bummed that DD won't get to take advantage of it since we'll be on the cruise instead!

Sandiegosusie - happy birthday and hope you are having a good time at DL!
