Ken, it went down into the 40's here (NJ) last night. Brrrr!!!!

 

[lexandme]

For all of you north of the Mason Dixon line, I figured you might get a kick out of this one. Our weather guy was talking about the soon to be passing cold front and said you might want to wear a light sweater to work tommorow. It is going to get down to the mid 60's.

Be cautious of frostbite!!!

Thanks for posting the link to the info about CBR's new pool. I love CBR, it's one of my favorites. I think we may have to stay in one of the new Pirate themed rooms when we go to WDW next summer. I have also heard that the Martinique section will be Nemo themed.
Judy

Really? Where'd you hear about the Nemo theme?

I haven't heard anything about a cold front so I guess it won't be making down this far.

I checked our reports and we only get lows in the mid 70's. But our highs will be mid-80's. So that's a nice break from the 90's we've been having. I'm going to guess the weather guy was talking about areas in the northern parts of the viewing area.

Deb's allears.net. If you click on accomodations then CBR. You can view photos of Martinique. It's not much really. The bedspreads are sea creatures and wall paper borders are Nemo, Dory, etc. The curtains are suppose to look like the ocean/waves. It's not as exciting as the drawings for the pirate rooms!

Deb's also announced the new promotion for WDW next year, "What will you celebrate?" Free admission on your birthday. Unfortunately all of our birthdays are during either November or February and we can't make it to WDW then!

Ken, I'm not kidding. Cold fronts can be brutal. Make sure you all bundle up! Want me to send you ear muffs and mittens?

Ooh, thanks for the info!!! DS's bday is on Saturday next year. I think it'll be during the school's Christmas vacation too. Gotta talk DH into it now.

I'm not sure how it works though. If you wanted to, could you go to all four WDW parks as long it was on your actual bday? If it's only one park, how would they know you hadn't been to a park already?

I already have passes so I'll have to go for the Birthday Fun Card. It's a gift card good that day for the amount equal to an adult ticket.

Who here was looking into DVC? Did you watch the new show they just had on Travel Channel?

No! What was it? I've been trying to talk DH into joining for the past 5 years!
I'll check ITUNES because they sometimes have Travel Channel Disney shows available to download. Travel Channel also repeats episodes too.

I live in a very tiny township, 900 people, 1 square mile. A very large mental health organization is trying to buy the nursing home at the end of my street (through a small wooded area). There was a town mtg about it tonight. I've never seen anything like it. It's to be a 24 hour lock down facility with a 10 foot fence and guards. The agency was lying about the population they will serve and people were crazy! Standing room only, people were yelling in through the open windows! It reminded me of the old Frankenstein movie when the townspeople all grabbed torches and went on the hunt! It was a mob scene. I don't think the commissioners are going to vote in their favor, they'd be killed if they did. Never a dull moment!

You Fla folks are so lucky! I may have to just fly down for my birthday and stay the night!

Judy--Another week, another adventure. Never a dull moment. Funny that you should mention angry mob, I threaten my Dr. with one this week if he didn't sign the paper. I didn't tell him that the mob would have to come from many, many miles.

Y'all just crack me up!!!

Let me know if you need us and I'll fly my neighbors in!! We're always up for the good fight!

Next time they try and raise taxes around here, I know who to call to stir up the masses! This is great!

Hey, it dropped down to a fridged 67 last night. I wore a jacket, but did without the ear muffs. I'll save those for the lower 60s.

Ken--The first time we went to WDW was in December 2005. The week we were gone, the temperatures at home never got above zero. The temps in FL were in the low 70s during the day and dropped in the evening. We went to MVMCP and DH was wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, he got many "northerener" comments, especially from the people wearing hats, scarves, and mittens.

Below zero, thats something we don't hear around here very often. CC in November will be just perfect for you guys.

It was bitter up here last night. Dropped down into the upper 40's. Soon we'll be posting about how much snow we're trudging through and how we went sled riding and made snow men! But the colder it gets the closer we are to winter and the trip! I think I should start getting some winter clothes out of storage this weekend. At least pants and long sleeves!
Ken - Glad to hear you are wearing weather appropriate clothing!
It's funny you bring up taxes. that was our biggest complaint last night. Our community and our tax base is too small to support a facility like that. It's non profit so they wouldn't pay taxes and our resources (police, fire dept, etc.) would be stretched beyond their capabilities.

 

[seadooken]

Thanks Judy!

I did live in New England for a couple of years. Coming from FLorida, THAT WAS COLD! I do wish my DD7 could see the snow. She loves to play, and it would be a special treat for her. I think next year instead of a cruise, we will end up in the mountains somewhere. I doubt I'll find a Cove Cafe there though.

That sounds like our whole COunty down here. We are top heavy with reitirees with little business to pay the real taxes. The retirees end up shouldering the burden for much more than they should.
