2008, 24th/28th Aug - *Double Dipping with the Bahama Mamas*

[LaurieWDW05]

Deffo the Pop Century for me Danielle, it's a lovely resort, and it's lots of fun there

We stayed there once too (prior to DVC) - the foodcourt and gift shop are great!!

See those are the things I care about--not the towel quality!

I agree, I love the tie-dye cheesecake served in the food court and they sell Bahama Mamas at the bar too

OF COURSE they have Bahama Mamas at the bar!

I tried to go through Disneyworld.com for a reservation and it's down right now. DreamsUnlimited stop taking quotes too. I should have just done it this morning when I first thought about it.

 

[Hanover]

I did manage to just get through on disneyworld.com and save the offer. Does anyone know if you have to add MYW with dining and enter a code to get free dining? I don't see where you can enter a code

Sorry Danielle, I booked mine through the UK site, and we didn't need a code. I'm sure they could help if you rang them - good luck

yeah, I think I'll have to call to make sure I get it but I have to run to bowling and then both boys have baseball so I'll wait until I get to practice and do it (I won't be able to hear myself think at the bowling alley--30 lanes of 1st-3rd graders thumping balls for an hour). I told Derek I was going to do it just in case he changes his mind.

 

[sarahsmom73]

So just in case I can persuade Derek to do a value resort for 4 nights for free dining, does anyone that has stayed in a value resort or two have a favorite one? I've heard some people say Pop is great. We'd have a rental car, so we don't need to worry about transportation (I've read a lot of transportation complaints).

I've stayed at POP twice! It was great!

Well girls..

Another day is almost over! LOL One more day closer to our cruise!!

Not sure if I'll be on too late tonight, I have a BIG day tomorrow - heading to Shea for the Mets Home Opener - they BETTER win!!! We are leaving early in the morning, the drive should take 2 hours, but it will probably take 3 - I could fly to FL in 3 hours!! LOL Then Ant has baseball at 6, we'll probably be back for that, just a little late - then I'll be back on! (Did I post this already?? - as I am typing it is sounding familiar! LOL)

Anyway, have a good night - and I'l be checking in via the blackberry - but, won't post, only because I think that is what screwed me up when I was in SC!!

Hi everyone..you were busy here again today. I am going to try to catch up.

Jen - Yes my husband is now an Apple computer junkie. In fact Apples are what he recommends to all his clients now. He spends way to much time in the Apple store or websites (although he would say I spend way to much time on DIS)

Laurie - Glad you got some eye drops and I hope they work quickly! You have to be 100% for the big day tomorrow!

Mandy - Congratulations to Kerry! Also I love the sandals...very cute!

Michele - Hope you had a good day!

Sandy - Hope you got your walk today - loved the Dr. Phil post

Danielle - I'm another vote for Pop..in fact thats where we are staying.

Sorry if I missed anyone - I'm exhausted today. I did go exercise this morning then I ended up at the doing a ton of PTA stuff (the next three weeks will be crazy for me with PTA things) then Bryan had Tae Kwon Do. Now I just want to go to bed.

Question, I'm not sure if anyone knows. I am booked at Pop already with Magic Your Way no dining. Of course i want to add the free dining but don't have the Visa so I have to wait to the 10th and hope for its available for Pop then. Is it better for me to add free dining now then switch it to free on the 10th or just try to call and do everything at once on the 10th? Never had free dining before and would love to try it! Thanks!

Have a good evening everyone!

I just got back from Brennan's baseball practice and had to share---

Derek called me when I was at Keegan's practice saying he'd be late and can I get Brennan to his baseball field where he'd meet me. I figured he had a late lock up, but he says he's got WDW reservations on the other line and is making reservations at Pop for us! He found out that we can apply the ticket prices towards our annual passes. So for $666 we don't have to use a single DVC point, we don't need to pay for dining and we get full ticket prices towards our annual pass renewals. It was going to be $495.84 for dining and DVC points for our original booking at AKV. The CRO CM said we get $75 towards the adult renewals and $60 something towards Brennan's.

Hi everyone!! I'm back, just been extremely busy as I know you can all relate to. Not working for 13 years and then suddenly working and still trying to do all the other things I've done for my kids, family, friends, school, etc has been draining. I have gone back and read all the posts it's nice to see you have all been so chatty. What a great bunch of caring and supportive people we have on this thread. Truly- you are all so sweet!!! I have been sick for a few days and probably will go to bed when the kids do. I hope to post more tomorrow. I miss all of you (sorry Michelle-I know you hate it when I don't respond to posts
individually forgive me please????)Have a great night everyone!!

Now that is too good of a deal to pass up- screw fluffy towels
