Jill Jill sorry to hear about your mother in law. My prayers are with you and your family. I just blew some PD your way.

Karyn, Congradulations to Jilly Bean on her HS graduation. Let me know which college she decides as I went to U of Tampa many years ago.

I would appreciate it if someone could e mail me or post the DVC web site so I can look into buying points. We would like to stay at WDW for 2 nights before we cruise and it would be eaiser to stay with the children in a studio or one bedroom. My e mail is Gail17@optonline.net

Anyone who has not e mailed me for the brunch or who wants to sit at a few tables togehter for early dining just use the above e mail address. Anyone who had DH e mail address on firl please delete it and use my current one. Thanks.


Mary, hope the drive to work was o.k. today.

Deb, Thanks for the e mail. I will respond sometime in the next few days. So good to hear form you

It has been so cold in NY. Warmer today but another blast of cold air is on its way early next week. Talk to you all soon. Fondly Gail1771

 

[WDWLVR]

Gail - sent you an e-mail about DVC. Hope it went through - it gave me some error message.

The ice seems to have gone away so it wasn't too bad a day. Not as good a day as one on the Magic but not too bad.

Oh no, we have that white stuff that falls out of the sky that some people think is so pretty. It started less than 2 hours ago and we have more on the ground than we did when it snowed all night the other night. I really don't want to see any more of it this year!!!

 

[Dancind]

My sympathies to those of you dealing with cold and snow. One good thing about where I live, we don't get much of that.

Jilljill, prayers going out to your family.

Karyn, congrats to your Princess! Let us know where she's going to wind up. She will be all established as a college student by the time we cruise.

My DD had a bad day at school Friday, and was talking about home schooling again. My first thought "we could vacation whenever we want, yeah!" But then I reminded her that she would miss her friends, and gave her something to eat. Turns out she skipped lunch, and she crashes when she doesn't eat.

Still looking for folks that would like to share a table at second seating, we'll have a 13 yo DD along.

Gail, check out the DVC board here. So much information there, and lots of people eager to answer questions. It's been my inspiration for going into debt to buy more points! Diana

 

[DVC4US]

Ok garRy - see I am posting again. I have notebooks filled with lists for each trip. DH just laughs at me as I sit around planning the vacations. But wouldn't they be surprised if we showed up at WDW with no reservations for dinner or on the cruise with no basic plan for the week. Maybe one time I will just do that and let them see how much they should appreciate my planning. We would still love to have you on the April cruise. Remember you would get to have a wine party in the Walt suite (just dropping that carrot again).

Diana - we will have late seating and would love to share a table. We will have a 15yo and an 8yo both girls. Although the younger one usually does not eat dinner with us becuase there is to much going on in the club.

Gail - I second Diana. Check out the DVC board you can get a lot of questions answered there and if you have more just pm me and I will see if I can help. You can also check into renting points for your stay if you are not ready to buy yet. A lot of people do this as a way to check DVC out to see if they like it. Remember if you have more questions please don't hesitate to ask.

LeiLani and Diana - we also have second dinner - and would love to get a table close to each other. we'll have our 2 daughters - 10 and 19 with us. I'm still trying to convince OhioMinnie and her family to switch to second. I think it's much easier with all of the shore trips and such not to have to worry about getting ready for an early dinner. Of course, my wife hates late dinner - as she can't eat as much......(gives her indigestion at night).....

LeiLani - we leave the day after your Magic cruise - going on a 4 day Wonder - we're also spending a few days at both Universal and DisneyWorld... Would've loved to see Walt's suite - of course I'm still hoping you move up on the 10 day so that we get our Cat. 3.

Oh well.... back to work......

We have late seating too, with 10 yo DD. How about we put all the kids at their own table on a different rotation?!?



Your Highness, you were definately the last to know about your cruise. I'm very jealous and want to go with you to share your cabin, but mom thinks I would be a bad influence on you. Besides the fact I will be leaving for Ireland the day you come back.
I'm sure you will enjoy sitting with your Homecoming King for the week - a and a king at the same table, oh my.

 

[wdwgoose]

YOU might have something there!!!!!!!!!!
at least at there own table !!!!!!!!! her kids are for that ANYONE else??????????? give a table to the kids????????
well at our late seating. what do you think???????????
KIDS about the same age at there own table ???????????
all older kids at there table ??????????? not sure where I would be ???????? LOL LOL

I Think that would be GREAT




gaRry

 

[DVC4US]

Hey, I am all for the kids being at their own table.

garRy - when is your winter break? Ours is March 15-19 and the girls and I will be at the Beach Club Villas that week. If anyone should be around during that time I would love to meet up.

Virgil - to bad you are not on our 7 day cruise, you and DH have a few things in common. He is an orthopedic surgeon. (Busy, busy, busy - I have to take him on vacations to get him away from work)We keep hoping we move up also, not just for us, but maybe some of you still waiting can move into a Cat 3. I am going to call my contact in inventory control this week and see if there have been any new developments.

Your Highness - what an exciting surprise. Have a great trip.

Hi Eveyone.

Thanks for the info. on the DVC. At this point in time we are looking into renting points for 2 or 3 nights at the DYC, DBV or Boardwalk for Dec 15-18 or Dec16-18 for a one bedroom unit. I will just need to find out how many points I need for that time and dates. We own two Marriott timeshares and at this point in time it is plenty to have with the maintenance fees. I would like to rent first. Mabye someday we will buy. I hear such wonderful things about DVC.


Mary, I received your e mail. Thanks for the info. I just e mailed you back.

Snow and freezing rain in NY. I just got back for the gym. I am on a roll. I went 3 times last week. This week I will try to go 3 times as I also play doubles tennis on Fridays. we shall see how the week goes. I am determined to get back in shape and drop 15-20 pounds before the Holiday cruise.

I wish all who are vacationing in the next few weeks a great time.


Have a great Sunday everyone. Fondly-Gail1771

Gail - sent you an e-mail back which hopefully will help you with DVC points.

So the goal is to get to 1400 today. I'll have to see how many we have to go after this one (didn't pay attention before).

 

[WDWLVR]

gaRry that is pretty ambitious trying to get 24 more posts in one day. I'll help where I can but don't want to post just for the sake of posting.

Sounds like just about everyone is doing an extra Disney cruise this year except for us. Well we are going to WDW for Member Homecoming and I'm happy about that. Still have to find a way to pay for the cruise. Going to start paying it off in monthly installments.

Sun is shining today but itis still very cold out. How is everyone else coping with their weather.

11 months from today we sail

 

[wdwgoose]

well okay only 22 post to make 1400 maybee not I think everyone is out enjoying the day.
