2 Princesses, a mom and Grumpy-1st Trip Final Thoughts

[bertegirl]

Oh that sounds fun!! Read about your battle with infertility on another report. SO sorry for your loss. I have also done all the tx etc. ODD was ivf number 4 YDD was number 6. Would not change a thing. Would have much more $$ though. I always joke I can tell them "I can tell you exactly how much your life is worth" LOL a little infertility humor.

I totally understand my dad calls Austin his test tube boy. My grandma is very old fashioned and just doesn't get why we didn't make babies the old way. Hmm! If only it were so easy!

I may try and see if I can get CRT earlier on Wed-8a. I call tomorrow EARLY-tried today but was denied!! Wish me luck

Got everyhting I wanted at almost exactly the time. We eat on the earlier side and in case we have to wait I thought the earlier the better. I was not able to move CRT-oh well. I am very happy!!

Hey there! Were you able to get the ADR's you wanted?

I did!! I see you did too. We have none at the same place or time but many the same restraunt Very exciting!!

 

[MaryAz]

We're probably going to aim for around 7pm.

I found out you have to call them directly. Hope to see you there! We will be the ones with the cute 2 year old yelling " I love T Rex" with joy or screaming "I no like T Rex he is scary-get me ouuta here"

So glad you got what you wanted. I made 5 ish ressies too because we did have to wait up to 30 minutes last year and that puts us around our usual dinner time. I had to do a little bit of shuffling but it worked out great. I will give you the scoop on our ADR's if you promise to tell me about Coral Reef and Whispering Canyon. I chickened out on those...

Hi Mary! I'm excited about the DIS-meet! I think we are up to 8 parties now. These are the ones I know: You guys, us (the Renfroes), englishrose47, SunnieRN, Lifelong_Dreamer, kgle, podsnel, and kaysmommie. This should make for a GREAT photo for our trip report!

Hope all is well with you. Tell hubby he may have to sneak me some of that homebrew of his!

I see an upgrade in our future!! We were surprised with some $$ that we were not expecting-great thing in this ecconomy. So, what I need you-readers and lurkers to do is tell me your favorite resort and why. As a little reminder this is our first trip and we have 2 girlies ages 2.5 and 5.
Ok, go, I am waiting...

Wow! How cool!!! I've only stayed at Mod's so I may not be much help. If you're only going up one level our favorite is probably CBR. My girls loved the beach there at 20 mos. and 6 years. It is a beautiful resort. The quiet pools were nice after a long day and the main pool was neat also (that was before it was redone). I have also stayed at POFQ and checked out POR (it's adjacent). The kids really liked CBR better.

I've had dinner at AKL and the Poly. The Poly is my dream resort although they haven't had any rooms available on the special since January. It has a beach, a really neat pool, beautiful theming and it's a monorail resort which I think would be great. I wanted to book there before we booked AKL. Who knows though you might get lucky and get one.

I probably didn't help at all....

We stayed at Wilderness Lodge on our last trip. Not sure if you upgrading to Deluxe but I have only stayed there and Pop. We loved the calm and peacefulness of WL. It was so relaxing to enjoy the WL after a busy day at the parks and the best part was the boat to Magic Kingdom. Man, did I love that boat! I would suspect with two little ones it would be great to take the boat over to MK and avoid the buses.

 

[MaryAz]

Alrighty, since I did not want hubby to change his mind-I called about an upgrade. Nothing at the Poly-we could not afford that anyway but a girl could dream. $1500 to upgrade to the Contemporary-um no. Nothing at CSR BUT we got a new pirate themed room at CBR for less than $500 GO ME!!!!

In other good news, airfare dropped today so after the kidlets go to bed I will call and book-before it goes up again!!
