8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 6

Well, I guess I've outlasted everyone again...

Not this time.

And I wonder.... if someone here is still waiting on a room that would love to have the cat 11.

YES!!!! Brack needs a room!!!! He has a paid deposit in on this. Maybe your TA can book the 11 for him when she releases it for you?

$99 a night for a room all 5 of us can be in (not disney view, but with balcony/2 queens/rollaway bed).
I went ahead and booked 6 nights but I'm not sure we'll actually go that early. I just didn't want to have "issues" later on if I made the reservation for less nights and wanted to add more nights later and not have availability in the same room/etc.
I'm CONSIDERING taking the kids earlier and then DH catch up with us when his work week is over (he works m-th if he doesn't work the other days as overtime). I'm still not sure though. I'd have to trust DH to bring his own luggage (cause I can't take all ours PLUS his by myself with the kids and all! and what I mean is making sure he brings everything he needs- some things can't be packed a week earlier if he's still at home needing to USE those toiletries, razor, etc.) and get the vehicle situated at airport parking, etc. LOL He's used to me handling everything- yanno?


So we may just go all together and only get there late Th night (late late) or early Fri and then have 1-2 days at DL. We'll see.

I booked the same type of room but with the DL view for 4 nights. I'm thinking of adding on two more.

Now I need figure out which tickets to purchase. I'm 95% sure we'll go with the City Passes but need to check out all the options.

We have lots of days on WDW passes. I always buy at least 7 day PHNE and forgot I had some so we have 2 sets with only a couple days on each one used. That is one of the pitfalls of compulsive planning. You know you need it and forget you already took care of it.

Yea, I'll be getting back to New York with a pair of sea turtles strapped to my feet.

Not that easy is it ...

I booked Howard Johnson Anaheim. Not a DL resort. Too expensive for our blood- we want to save the money for the cruise! it really depends on how things "go" this year whether we'll be able to even afford everything that the cruise involves (plus a few days at DL because we can't pass up probably the ONLY time we'll go there... well I've been there once but it didn't count- I was almost 9mo pregnant, there alone on business at the time, and only walked around in awe for a couple hours- rode nothing, bought nothing, and did I mention only a couple of hours?!?) Jeff can have really good years with lots of overtime, big bonuses, etc- and then he can occasionally have "not so good" years and we're a little tapped out at the moment what with buying a new house, bigger mortgage payment, etc. Yanno? So we'll have to give up the thought of staying at GC.

I called around some of the hotels I had on a list someone here gave me (sorry for not remembering who it was!) :
Carousell Inn
Best Western Park Place Inn
Dessert Inn and Suites
Tropicana Inn
Camelot Inn
Howard Johnsons


I'm sorry. I can't remember which ones would let you book at this time and I already threw the paper I had away. All I did was make scratch notes of prices and all I remember is Howard Johnsons was the cheapest.

DL resorts wouldn't even give me prices but I looked online for august 2007 and it was too expensive for this trip.

We are staying at the HOJO in Anaheim also. We got a group rate over on the other board. There will be alot of us there at least 2 nights, before leaving on the Magic on Sunday.
For the 3 of us, we have a Disney view with 2 queen beds, it was around $111.00.

 

[arlenesp]

Finally caught up with everyone. Whew! Nite Captain and anyone else. Will be online for abit.

 

[arlenesp]

Ladypoo, which airport is closest to Aneheim? And did you get transfers?

 

[windermerejudy]

Okay so I did not go to bed when I said I did.....

Roger what is it you do in the hospital? I know you have mentioned it but if I was to guess I thought you said a pharmacist but then you said you rounded on patients........

 

[arlenesp]

Judy! Glad to see you back.

Group rate huh? Must look into this....
Wow, only $12 more for disney view huh!
What I was looking at was $139 for that! I figured it wasn't worth $40 a night. We'd be there until they closed anyway.

 

[arlenesp]

Did you book any rooms in Ca yet? I didn't think they would take the booking so early.

 

[windermerejudy]

Yeah well my dog seems to have acquired Norwalk or the likes and keeps pooping everywhere. .......no not bricks........picture splats.....

I have shampooed carpets all night.......So my DH puts him outside and forgot about him....He fell asleep(DH)

I go to shut the light off and there is the incredible popcycle dog stuck to my french door.....he is all warm now that mommy cuddled him.......right after I wiped his rear with baby wipes......

 

[windermerejudy]

Arlene now that all those frozen northerners are gone we can talk about how daggone cold it is here.......

 

[arlenesp]

Poor puppy. You should put him in bed with DH

 

[windermerejudy]

Poor puppy. You should put him in bed with DH

He usually ens up there by the end of the night.....

 

[arlenesp]

My computer is in the br between 2 window and I just said to Rich I can feel it coming in from the windows. I also have a sliding door up here as well. We don't have it as bad as they do upnorth, but compared to our usual weather it's f******* cold. I caught a really bad chill this afternoon and took a nap til 8:30

 

[arlenesp]

We were going to go eat with DS tonight but the thought of going out changed my mind real quick. Just made grilled cheese.

Oh poor doggie!

My husband does that all the time- puts the dog out and forgets he's out there. Tramp really needs to start barking or SOMETHING to remind DH that he's out there! I'm always the one later (or when I get home/etc.) saying hey, where's Tramp? (then how long has he been out there?!? -whenever DH inevitably says oh yeah, I let him out and forgot)

 

[windermerejudy]

I had my heated seats cranked all the way up when we ran out to dinner....
and they should get a kick out of this........I wore my heavy winter jacket for the first time in 2 years.......

I had to do the quick hand me down a bigger size for the kids......it was laughable to see the last jacked that they fit into on them.......
