Wow, I didn't realize I was a page 1 poster. That seems like so long ago. Well it was 2 WDW trips and a trip to Australia and DL ago.

DH's mom passed away this afternoon. Just asking for a bit of **PD** to come our way. He seems fine now - but I think it will hit him harder tomorrow.
Thank you everyone.

Jilljill: SO sorry about your Mother in law! I'll say a prayer for your family.

I have to share some good news I just got! Most of you remember my question about our WDW visit (visit before or after the cruise). Well I had decided to visit before, thanks to all your great advice. I emailed a request to Dreams to price out pop century rooms (resort page said $77 per night, we'd need 2 rooms). I never did get a response from Dreams, even though I sent it in 8 days ago, and sent a gentle reminder a couple days ago. Anyway, I was bored here and started poking around the DVC page, and figured out that if I stayed the 15th/16th, I could stay at Boardwalk with two studios for only 36 points.

I'm so excited that someone came through with a great offer that makes this actually work out! Given that I won't be paying taxes to rent the points, I'm going to be spending a total of $17 more to stay at Boardwalk instead of Pop!!! I think it will be so much nicer for the in-laws to have a really nice atmosphere instead of just a hotel room. The convenience to Epcot, and the option for boats instead of buses to Epcot and MGM, etc. etc.!!! I'm just so excited I can hardly type!

Anyway, I just wanted to share with someone who will appreciate it. I think DH will say "cool" (he really liked the Boardwalk when we poked around there in Jan), but I don't think he'll understand how much nicer it will make those two days.

We'll check out the 17th (weekend points are lots higher). Not sure if we'll drive out to the port and stay there, or just get a priceline hotel. If we decide to go to the port, we might join the radisson crowd for a meet.

jilljill - so sorry to hear about your MIL. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Lisa, Boardwalk is my home - I think you will love it there (have you stayed there before?).

We will fly down the Friday night before and we are not sure if we will be staying at the Radisson or maybe down at Vero Beach.

I'll be in chat tonight, but Mark was up extra early today so he'll be asleep!

Herc10 - darn - I just was in Dallas for a couple of days - stayed in Los Colinas - had a meeting there.......

Jilljill - our sympathies to your family on the loss of the mother in law......

I know that Ohiominnie is still going on the cruise - I've been trying to get her family to move to late dining with mine....
She's a homeschool mom - and I know really busy - we correspond every now and then.......

For all those that happen in on this thread - and might be too scared - too confused - or just not know where to start.... Why don't we have a set posting that has all of the information about us and the cruise. That way even if they don't see a new post - they'll know what's up and who to contact. We do that now when a new poster posts - but it might be even better just to have someone post it every other page or something similar...... Just a thought!

Take care all!

[WDWLVR]

Had a great chat. Mark did show up as did Lisa and gaRry. Lisa and I even got new chat avatars! Hope more of you make it some Friday night. Cruise chat is fun!

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning everyone. Woke up here to a layer of ice everywhere - yuck. On top of that I have to go in to work for a while today (for the 3rd weekend in a row). So much for a 9-5 M-F job. Actual hours are supposed to be 8:30 to 5 but I've been averaging 6:30-6 and time on Saturdays as well.

Wish it would help pay for the cruise but I'm salaried. Oh well at least I have a job (many don't) though I wish I could find a new one.

11 months from today we fly to Florida and 11 months from tomorrow we cruise! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[WVMD]

Sorry to have missed chat last nite - had a great time last week - maybe next Friday as I'm actually off then....

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Good Morning!

Miss Jill is officially done w/ high school. We're having an open house today in her honor, just going to ask people to ignore the packing boxes! You're all invited to stop in 2-6 pm, the party is at my house!

jilljill, I know this is going to be a tough day for all of you, prayers and pixie dust. It was good to talk to you last nght. Give Jay a big hug from me.

What a lousy day to have to work, Mary, I'm sorry! Be careful, the roads are horrible!

After we get moved, I hope I can join the chats.

Well, I need to start waking up the various bodies that are sprawled all over my house and start preparing for the party.

Please join the party, later!

Karyn

Congratulations!

Now that High School is over and College doesn't start for months you should have plenty of time to knit/crochet our scarves.

Seriously, congratulations on finishing up early. Hope you had a great time at your party today and you enjoy your presents

Jilljill - so sorry to hear about your MIL. Sending a little **PD** your way and we will keep your family in our prayers.

Mary - we woke up to a sheet of ice also. DH had to go in and do rounds this morning so I told him to be careful, he said he was almost in a ditch when he came home late last night.

Karyn - congratulations on getting another one through HS. My oldest DD is a freshman in HS and before I know it she will be done. Time seems to go by so fast. Of course that is a good thing when I consider waiting on the cruise.

Sorry I haven't been posting much, but I do lurk and read everything posted. I will try to post more, but I am also trying to keep up with all our other vacations we have planned before this Christmas cruise. The girls and I will be at WDW in March for a week, then we have the April cruise in the Walt suite, and then we will be taking the girls to Hawaii this summer. I guess I can't complain to much and I will try to keep up with the posting.

Everyone have a good weekend and be especially careful out there if you are from the mid-west or northeast.

I second the congratulations to Jillybean! Major milestone out of the way, and on to the next one!

I did enjoy chat last night. It was pretty neat to have Alex pin our personalities with those avatars!

Mary, sorry about the ice. Karen, hopefully that ice isn't out by you badly enough to mess up the party.

Have a great weekend all! Lisa

 

[jilljill]

Everyone thank you so much for your **PD** and prayers.

Congratulations to "Your Highness" on finishing high school.
