[cmp1111]

Ooh, good point, V! Bwahahaha!!! He didn't even notice that I added a day to the end of the trip when I booked, yet. New dates: 8/20-8/29.

You're good...

 

[DisneyJo]

Ok, so I'm on the phone with CRO and I've got a 2 bedroom villa at SSR for $318 per night? Good or bad?

So all 6 of you would fit in?

So--we'll call it Plan 1!

We all know T too well don't we

The girl told me it sleeps 8.

Oooh so who's bunking in with T then to save some $?

Whoever wants to bunk has to share a room with Waldo!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "New" plan:

Ok, so I've already sold Waldo and TE on SSR. I'm a tad disappointed because I know Maddie really wanted the bunk beds, but I have a feeling she'll get over it quickly when I tell her we're staying at the "awesome slide" hotel. I'm worried about my family. When I told everyone the "new" dates, no one batted an eyelash. Soooo either they don't have mad math skillz or they're really into this. I'm heading back to session with lover and just scrap everything except for the Donald breakfast - 'cause I have to stalk Janet and Biergarten. Which reminds, me - Jo, can you add Waldo and TE to Wienerfest?

 

[Disneyolic]

The girl told me it sleeps 8.

Yup, sleeps 8. Two in MBR, 2 on queen bed in 2nd BR, 2 on pullout couch in 2nd BR, and 2 on pullout couch in LR.

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

I leave the house for the day and look at all that I missed! Tracy, what a day! Score on SSR. And I think it's great that Waldo and TE have changed their minds about the trip. Germany will never be the same

Have you brought them over to the Disney side?

Good thing you didn't laminate yet

Which reminds, me - Jo, can you add Waldo and TE to Wienerfest?

 

[jcc0621]

Oh, no! Those 2 are non-negotiable.
I'm not doing one.

Stalking glasses at the ready

Bwahahaha!!! He didn't even notice that I added a day to the end of the trip when I booked, yet. New dates: 8/20-8/29.

You are my hero

 

[OhMari]

V-have you called CRO and asked if there was a code attached to your name. I found out about the code last week, when Florida DIS members were talking about a code attached to their name. They were making ressie's and were told they had a 40% off code. Mary on Mousesavers has also announced it on her website for Florida residents.

So, can I officially be on your first page with my dates. I really hope to meet up with someone, even if it will be a few minutes.

Yes, you can add me, too! We'll be there August 22nd-24th. Put us down for the Boardwalk for now... I can't change to AKV for another 2 weeks...

Sorry I'll miss meeting you Marisa!

Have a great night everyone!
-Michelle

Anymore???

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Wow, 37 people for the meet, that is going to be crazy!

 

[Lauralee131]

WAIT!!!! I HAVE ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT!!

GUESS WHO'S COMING TO WANDER THE WORLD WITH US IN AUGUST???

With this deal, Waldo and TE (not Minnie) want to join us! You all know what this means, right? Well, besides the fact that I'll be chasing a senior citizen on a ECV through AK.... it means I have to redo the entire "plan". Waldo doesn't like buffets, so I have change all our ADR's!

YES!!!!!! Please, please, please get them to Biergarten with us!

Ok, so I'm on the phone with CRO and I've got a 2 bedroom villa at SSR for $318 per night? Good or bad?

AWESOME!! Now, I called T yesterday to chat and heard this big news, but I'm posting anyways...DVC member cash price for just a 1BR at SSR was $277/night in August - remember I paid for 2 days OOP as I didn't have enough points??

I think it's an awesome deal AND, better yet, still cheaper than rack rate at Poly, no??

Before tax - I booked it anyway. BUT I still have to run it past TE and Waldo, they may want to stay at AKL instead. I know Maddie's going to be sad about no bunk beds.

Uh-oh, sounds like I'm having buyers remorse..... :

OMG, I know that feeling...

I updated my post - I forgot that August is in Value season. It's still a great rate. You're saving $238.50/night. Not too bad, at all! That's definitely 40% off!!!

Didn't they have anything at AKV?

Actually Michelle, August isn't value season anymore...cost me MORE points last August than it's costing me to go next week....just sayin...

Ooh, good point, V! Bwahahaha!!! He didn't even notice that I added a day to the end of the trip when I booked, yet. New dates: 8/20-8/29.

Way to go T on adding a day...I may or may not have done that once or twice myself!!

The girl told me it sleeps 8.

The 2BR should have a MBR with a king, the 2nd BR should have 2 queens and then you have the pull out sofa...the kids could sleep in Waldo and TE's room!!!

Whoever wants to bunk has to share a room with Waldo!

Man, so here I am ready to move to AKV and you're coming to SSR...Tony's eyebrows raised a bit when I told him the whole story, the code, you guys staying at SSR, etc...he might be a little happy he can share pool drinks with Andy and Waldo...but shsshsshsshshs he won't admit it....

Good thing you didn't laminate yet

I was gonna say the same thing!!

Yes, you can add me, too! We'll be there August 22nd-24th. Put us down for the Boardwalk for now... I can't change to AKV for another 2 weeks...

AWESOME!! So glad you can come now!!!!

And ok everyone....I'M CALLING SHOTGUN!!

I GET TO SIT NEXT TO WALDO AT DINNER SO I CAN PINCH HIS CHEEKS!!!
Isn't he a doll? Don'tcha just want to dunk him in your coffee???

Shoot....gotta go get ready for work...back at lunch....

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow, 37 people for the meet, that is going to be crazy!

I know I am beginning to wonder if they'll allow it though

And ok everyone....I'M CALLING SHOTGUN!!

I'm calling the other side of Waldo. I'm sure he would love to sit between 2 beautiful blondes

That's making 29A and 12C, 41 people

Anymore???



T I know this is more work but do you think we could have on page 1 a day by day of where everyone is, good idea or not????

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Actually Michelle, August isn't value season anymore...cost me MORE points last August than it's costing me to go next week....just sayin...

Nope, I double checked. Since T is going through CRO, it's Value Season 7/20 - 10/1. It isn't that way on the DVC points chart. That's why I was confused, too. I don't know why August changed seasons for DVC. I think it's in 'Dream Season' now on the point charts...

I just looked at the point charts again and it looks like I can add the 21st, too, if I do a Savannah View Studio at AKV, a standard view studio at Boardwalk (nearly impossible to get), or a studio at Saratoga Springs...

What to do, what to do... I hope we can all find good airfare, too! Has anyone booked their flights yet?

Jo- Maybe we should split the Beirgarten reservation into two or even three reservations? I'm not sure they will be happy with one reservation for over 40 people? Then again, maybe it won't be a problem at all...

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

How many people can fit at those big tables? 10? 12? My, oh my...this is going to be madness

Oh, I want to be a fly on the wall when you call to make this ressie

Waldo isn't going to know what to do with himself with all the attention he is going to get

What to do, what to do... I hope we can all find good airfare, too! Has anyone booked their flights yet?

I haven't/ I have my ding downloaded for Southwest and Airtran's prices have dropped drastically this week. I am holding out for alittle bit more of a drop

Jo- Maybe we should split the Beirgarten reservation into two or even three reservations? I'm not sure they will be happy with one reservation for over 40 people? Then again, maybe it won't be a problem at all... [/COLOR][/B]

I think Jo is going to get a grand gathering number if they give her a hard time making the ressie for all of us...do I have this right Jo...this way we can all make our own ressies and give them the grand gathering number

How many people can fit at those big tables? 10? 12? My, oh my...this is going to be madness

Actually I think V said they fit 8
