Thanks for the info about OKW!! The 1 bedrooms look huge, I think a couple people are staying at SSR. It would be cool to do a pre cruise meet- I would definately be interested in that also. I do want to stay at BWV- but we borrowed points from 2009 for this year- so we don't want to borrow from 2010 too- we are going to San Antonio in 2010- and we need all of our 160 for that.

P.S. I really want to add-on!!!!

We have stayed at OKW a couple times on rented points.
Great resort

May rent points next year, I wont know what we are doing until tax refund next year. Must still pay for cruise first

No worries on the borrowing - it all evens up in end, right?! Are you trading out somewhere in San Antonio?

Yeah, we want to go to San Antonio- and trade out at Bandera("the cowboy capital of the world") LOL- which is about an hour outside of San Antonio- looks really nice. Lots of stuff to do in San Antonio, and around it- and it's part of our mission to go to all 50 states.

Jordan can't wait- she misses her friends at the daycare(my mom is watching her this summer), and she keeps on talking about seeing her new friends. She starts August 25, most schools around here start after Labor Day too, but she is in private school- they have their own rules.

Funny Kristin!!! Was it a PTA meeting? I just e-mailed our PTO president yesterday and told her to please find someone to replace me. I know she is probably not happy about it!! I should have declined the position at the end of the year like I had the gut feeling to do originally.

Did anyone see the new cancellation policy for DCL:

NEW CANCELLATION POLICY - Effective 8/31/08

If you need to cancel your cruise and are within the penalty period for doing so, Disney Cruise Line will no longer allow you to change the date. You will be required to cancel your existing cruise and absorb whatever penalties are in effect and rebook the new date.
Does this affect how everyone re-books onboard and then changes the dates? I wasn't sure if I read it right.

Only if your rebook during the penalty period. We booked a cruise onboard the last time we went and actually rebooked three times as new dates were released eventually ending up on this cruise. None of our rebookings were during the penalty period though.

Interesting commentary....

Ticket Increase

I wonder if the increasing prices, with decreased services, will influence people who stay a day or two pre/post-cruise?

Thanks Harry- I wasn't sure when I read it. I saw the ticket increase too.
