2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 2

[alikat99]

I agree with Diana!
It shows it as an Extra Magic Hour Day but if you look at the previous month all the Thursdays were early morning extra hours!
Now if they would just officially list the dates and let us buy our tickets!

I'm SO excited to see the October hours. I did the same as you, Stacy, I checked Sept Extra Magic Hours and they were all in the mornings on Thursday at MK. So, as soon as they open the ticket sales, we are definitely buying our MNSSHP for Thursday night!!!

 

[Stitch#1]

Stacy??? NOT!!!

Ok it looks like the count is now THREE!
Do I hear Four????

 

[Diana Lyn]

Gee I don't know????
Could it be that not one but TWO of my friends were caught a little off gaurd by me being described at "shy and reserved"

I got a good laugh about that one too!

You are the last person in the world I would consider shy and reserved!!

I agree with the EMH being morning ones, it looks like Thurs is morning EMH at MK. How exciting is it that we can really start to plan!! I just wish Southwest would release Octobers airfares so I can really plan!! We still don't have a place to stay before cruise, because we really don't know when we are arriving!

 

[alikat99]

Whew!! I'm officially exhausted now!! But, I'm all caught up on posts!!

We spent the entire day today painting the outside of the house. Chris's brother and his partner came over to help us too. We got all but the back part of the house done. Tomorrow, we just need to finish the back wall, the garage door and all the eaves & trim. I'll be happy when it's all done!!! But, it was definitely about time that it was painted!!!

 

[alikat99]

Don't forget to change your clocks ahead an hour tonight before you go to bed. Otherwise, you'll be an hour late for everything tomorrow!!

I've been checking out the Disney hours calender and it looks like that Thursdat will most likely be the MNSSHP, Friday is evening EMH at EPCOT, Saturday is morning EMH at MGM!

So I'm guessing that the Jennings family will need a nap after getting off the ship so we can party hardy that night at MNSSHP, sleep in an Friday then spend the day eating at EPCOT at the F&W and staying up a little late agian then getting up early Saturday to hit MGM then run over to A.K. after lunch!
Phew!
Don't know if that will come true but it's my current prediction!

Good for you. I know you were wanting to get it done. Good thing last weekend was the chillier one and you had the time & right conditions to do it this weekend.

I painted our house once. That was definately enough for me.

Thanks Cindy! You're right, it was a perfect day for painting. It was a tad breezy, so it kept the heat down. Sunny, but not too hot! Just perfect!!! Tomorrow is the same, so we should be able to finish it up (I hope!).

The Friday EMH at Epcot was our favorite this last week. Very empty and hardly any wait for MS, TT & Soarin. Hopefully it will be the same in October.

I'm venturing to guess that we'll probably be on the same schedule, with the exception of probably the early morning stop at MGM.

For those who haven't had a chance to ride EE yet, make sure and ask to wait for the front. What a trip! I'm not sure I can do it twice but once was definately an experience. And, to think it was Walker's idea.

Does anyone else think that we might need a vacation after this vacation???

I hate painting a room never mind the whole outside of the house!
More power to you!

That's TZ moment #2 in the past few minutes!! I was sitting here this morning when I noticed the hours were out and have my schedule as follows so far:
Thurs--check into BCV; MK/MNSSHP
Friday--what we didn't do at MK then Epcot
Saturday--MGM then home

How are your muscles? Feel like pushing the 80 lbs of stroller around a little bit?

That's why we're going home on Saturday night. We'll need Sunday to recover from all the fun on the cruise and WDW.

I'm thinking I will! Thanks goodness I can fall asleep on planes so I can get some ZZZZ's in before getting home!

Boy, it sounds like a lot of us are going to be on the same type of schedule!!!

That's funny because Bruce said that this morning when I went over my tentative itinerary with him. He wanted to know where Rest/Relaxation and Sleeping were scheduled. I told him he can sleep and relax all he wants on the Sunday we get back before he goes to work Monday morning!

I will be more then happy to help push the stroller around! I'll even recruit a few other to help!

That's our plan too!


Monday I can actually call and borrow points for pre-cruise & post-cruise. We checked out POR when we were down there -- pool hopped over there -- to get a feel for the resort. Has anyone stayed there? We may decide to pay cash someplace Saturday night.

We definately want at least a 1 bedroom for after the cruise. Love that washer & dryer and a suitcase full of clean clothes. We've done a lot of laundry today to try and catch up from our week at WDW. I'm thinking we'll probably book SSR and we're going to try and waitlist for an EPCOT resort.

Can I request to waitlist for both BCV & BWV or is it one of the other?

You shouldn't be so eager to help....I will take you up on the offer and your back and arms will regret it.

I seriously have to buy another double stroller before Disney because this one literally moans when I push it. I got 18 months of great use out of it, but I think it's time to retire it and get something else.

We stayed at POR before SSMC05. I really liked it and would definitely stay there again. I mean, it wasn't a 1BR, but for the price, it was right for us.

Bruce now wants to rent points or have someone transfer points to us and stay at SSR or wherever we can get in before the cruise. We were going to do it, then we changed our minds and now again we are back to that. He thinks it would be cheaper for us...and it will, because we only need 20 points, so roughly $200 for 2 nights. Last year we paid $300 for 2 nights at POR.

If you can wait until October, I have a Sit-n-Stand if you want it! I'll bring it to WDW for you! I want to give it away, but I don't know anyone here that can use it.
