8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 2

[cruisin'Mike]

Its January and I have not even thought about vacation in 2009. I am really falling behind this year.

We've thought about 2009, but no definite plans yet. We wanted to go to Italy, but I think we'll wait til the kids are a little older and can (hopefully ) appreciate it better. Right now, it looks like Alaska is the front runner, but that can easily change. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

Hey Coral! Kevin's on his way down/over to Dallas today to see about a new bike,how's the weather?

Wow, that's fancy!
Cloudy cold (mid 40's) and supposed to rain this afternoon. Just plain dreary!

 

[Verandah Man]

Like me! Why do you always have a run when I'm either working or sleeping?

Is this a run, I didn't notice..............

 

[LITTLEKID58]

I did not either.....................

 

[cruisin'Mike]

Well, we know what you'll be doing with 3 of them!

Nice to see you got your ticker back!!!

I don't have one in mine so I just check everyone else's

I am always at least a year ahead to Roger, only way I can pay for them.

I have to make a BJ's run today, and I'm putting it off.

For some strange reason my kids have school today. It was listed on the master calendar we got at the beginning of the year as a holiday, but we got a phone call on Thurs. from the school's automated contact system with a message that there is school today. DW has work today, so we're home, but if we had planned to be away for a long weekend, I would have been really ticked off.

I would have been ticked off as well..........

I am looking at London and Paris (and of course DLP too) next year. That one is going to take both if us having very good years so we will have to see how it goes.

I can highly recommend Alaska. DD's were 6 and 9 when we went and they remember everything even a year and a half later.

Andy I think it more of a crawl than a run

2009 is suppose to be an off year for vacations. DW wants things for around the house.

Alaska was our best family vacation. The girls really loved it

 

[Verandah Man]

Well, we know what you'll be doing with 3 of them!

Yea, sitting here at home while you are all off having fun on the Repo cruise...........

When we were at WDW for 2 weeks after 9/11 those pins were absolutely impossible to find. Every single patriotic symbol was snatched up before it could even be displayed.
We were in a huge line for some ride and someone walked by w/ the American Mickey pin and was asked where they got it. They guy said they just got a shipment in on the cart outside. People who had been in line for 15 minutes abandoned the line in droves to try to buy them- of course by then they were gone.

My 2nd favorite story was when were in a character line there were some English folks behind us in line. I said "Thank you so much for supporting us during this time". Their response was an immediate "We are in this together". Made me tear up. I thought that was so nice.

We ended up driving because we couldn't be guaranteed that our flights would go, they were still trying to get air up and running again. Every single overpass between New Jersey and WDW had an American flag hanging from it.

It was somewhat depressing to come up to every line and see the wait time on zero or blanked out (since DW and I knew why - kids loved the lack of lines)

When we were there, they bent over backwards to give us extra magic, you could just stay in your seat to ride the "E-Tickets" a second or third time if no one was waiting.

The hotels were are 30% occupancy which was hugely low. The parks were empty, this is Main Street at noon one of the days we were there, you can't get this kind of crowdless pic when the parks are closed usually....

Of course, my history of WDW gets a few of these crowdless days (pardon the groundhog), here is Epcot around lunchtime when Hurricane Frances was 24 hours out (we walked on Mission Space before this):

Good Luck Paula.

I remember you posting the great family pictures from your trip, and it sounded like a lot of people had been to Alaska. I figured DW and I can pick some brains on the TOAL to see how everyone who has been to Alaska liked it. Or we can see if there are some other recommendations for family friendly trips. I love that our crew on the TOAL is from all over, and has so many experiences to share.
