Happy Monday all! I'm currently on the train back from NYC and trying to type on a bouncing laptop is quite an adventure!

Had a great lunch today - a meatball bounced off my shirt! It's a very good look for me!

Lots of bouncing today!

Yet another reason to always carry a lobster bib!

Congrats Kristin!!

Thanks,, Abby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry, Kristen & Abby, thanks for the info. I think DW & Mel should like it to exercies with then. I definately know Mel will like all of the gaming parts to it, we've had the same ol Play Station since "Hector was a pup" and its pretty boring now. How's things going in everyones world?

Things,, are going well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Grumpy4Ya]

So very EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! We just added onto our DVC contract!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool Joining the DVC is something I've been eyeing for some time now. Only problem is the distance for us and we go so seldom that I'm not sure if I could justify the cost in our situation. But congrats to you!!!

Thanks,, more points at SSR. We love that resort and are soo happy.. No more add ons for a loong time I think we have more points than we need right now...LOL!!!!!! Are you members??? If so how many points do you guys have?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep we have 150 at the Beach Club Villas. I'd add on there if i find a resale for a smaller amount in the same contract month. BUT I am also thinking of holding out for either (a) the Hawaii resort coming in 2010 - that's what a guide at WDW told me last week -- or (b) the Contemporary (she wouldn't give me a guess on when those will be sold.

Hey Jeff, I've heard the rumor, but is it certain that the Contemorary is going to be a DVC property?

You know that they are adding DVC to the grand californian, right? And there is a Hawaii resort coming in 2010... They are trying to make it more tempting for west coasters to buy in.

 

[Grumpy4Ya]

No, I didn't know either of them. Velly Interestinggggg

Yep they are already building at the GCH and just bought land in Hawaii and it looks like (I can dream can't I) it'd be a great place to dock a cruiseship.

We will be at the Grand Californian this August in advance of our Mexican Riviera cruise so I'll be checking it out for sure. Not sure when they officially start selling it though.

According to the DVC guide we spoke to, it is a definite - but they just aren't releasing any details. Building is really coming along.

 

[Grumpy4Ya]

I can only imagine how much they can demand for points at either location.

Yep I wonder how much of AKL they are going to have to sell out before they set the prices on this. I imagine that they want SSR to BE sold out first.

I know mine would not say much either about the Contemporary either. I've heard the Beach Club is nice too!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait to try DVC in Hawai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

me too Kristen. I'm hoping against hope that it comes with a Hawaiian cruise on the side!

I hope that too. But with two new ships being built and DVC in Hawaii, I think it is a good possibility!!!!!!!!!!!!
