12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 2

We're only about 45 min from Sesame Place, so that's easy to do if we're around. And I missed out on Knoebel's last year, and would love to give that place a try.

I'm good for Knoebels too.... (Our DFIl still has a place for us to sleep, i think...)

Maybe Ken and Elaine could fly-in again too...

I love to go for covered bridge festival in October but with Devon's band schedule...probably won't be doable for next four years.

Great pics of Sophia John. She looks beautiful.

Brandi - Nice to "see" you again. I have missed having my twin around. I bet both the kids are getting really big. As for the resort I really like the moderates although I have never stayed at CB because it never interested me that much. We love POFQ and CSR - both are stunningly beautiful and very well themed. We have done the values as well but everytime we stay there I always wish we had paid more for a moderate. We have only stayed deluxe two times and while it was nice even with my discounted rooms I felt like we were paying a bit too much. JMO.....

We got back at 1:00 AM today from our 9 day trip to Disney. We had a blast! We all had our hair done with pixie dust in the MK the day we celebrated my mom's 50th birthday. We really had a wonderful trip.

We are going back on August and we need to decide fast on our hotel. We are book for Port Orlean's Riverside. I keep thinking we should down grade to POP. We have stayed at all of the value's and at Caribbean Beach. I just don't know if it is worth the extra for the Moderate. Am I just being cheap???? Hummm....what do you guys think.

We love Port Orleans Riverside, have not stayed at POP, BUT I would do POP if it meant I could go more often! That's what we do on the cruise --CAT 11 so we can go more often. So, if your finances allow POR, I'd do that, but if POP means another WDW trip sooner, I'd do that.

GLAD to have you back Brandi! Missed you!

If it were me I would go for the moderate, of course, if it were me, I would do the deluxe, of course if it REALLY was me, it would be DVC, so I think you are asking the wrong guy!

I sort of expected that answer from you!!!!

I would do knoebel's again. We did Seame Place one time...it just wasn't for us. Jake isn't a huge water fan and he wasn't having much fun. The really strange thing...he would get upset over the characters. We went to Disney 3 weeks later and he was hugging them!!!!! He loves them now....who know!!!! Anyway, I would be into a Knoebel's meet!!!!

Gotta Love the Band!!!! When we were in Disney last week we saw our local HS band lead in Spectromagic. I was so excited!!!! My cousin was in the parade as were some of my private students...it was awesome!

We can afford POR....but it is 637 dollars cheaper to stay at pop. That might allow us to sneak in a short trip before our AP's run out in December.

 

[klineyqueen]

Wow....I didn't realize how much I missed you guys until right now....seriously, wow. I am feeling homesick!

Hey, I'm never leaving this thread. It's a great place to be.

I'm still scrapbooking the trip (worked on some pirate night stuff tonight)... lots of memories!

I wonder if John1 has a seat in the rafters for the game tonight. It's still close (third quarter).

Nope, I have a seat in front of my TV, in the recliner. I just hope we can win this game . . .

I am bummed. Was having a problem with my Macbook which I thought was obviously a defective battery. Well, when I went to the genius bar(at the Apple store 45 mins away) they told me they would have to keep it to duplicate the problem - bummer. So now I am on my old 12" Powerbook, that is the computer Amy usually uses.

We also got Alex his new laptop he wanted for next school year - a new 15" Macbook Pro, so I am even more bummed and feeling the envy.

Need a three to tie with 5.5 . . .

 

[Jhalkias]

Lose by 3 . . .

Sorry, John1.

I'd sneak in the extra trip!!

And we are so happy to have you back!!

I have not even started scrapin' the trip!!!! That will all happen this summer. I am relaxing this week and hanging out with the kids. Next week is VBS at our church. I will be there with Jack....I mean JAKE each day. Eliza will spend the mornings with Grammy. She is still to young to go to VBS.

Anyone coming down for the passholder tower of terror event? I cna't wait!
