Hi Tracy- I tried to post a while back, but my internet went kerplunk and I think is went into Neverland. I'm so glad I found your newest PTR! By no means will I even attempt to catch up with 100+ pages. Sorry. But I will do my best to read along. Since I haven't been around much since Oct. and all...From what I gather, this is gonna be a grand gathering meet. I can't wait to be a part of it all...from my computer. :)
 
I found out some stuff in our planning yesterday!

So our plan is this: KC & I are going to try and fly to Florida the same morning (within the same time frame) to save $ on the cab to the airport. He is flying to Miami to see our friend Ricky and I am flying into Tampa to see my friend L & her family. This will happen either Tues the 19th or Wed the 20th. Thursday I will get to whatever hotel me & Z are staying at (driven in by my lovely friends in Tampa). Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun will be spent in WDW w/Z & all of you lovely Fockers! Either Sat or Sunday Ricky and KC will drive to Orlando and head to Ricky's parent's timeshare. We aren't sure how long we will stay there but at least a few days. Hopefully getting a visit from L & Fam one of those last days. KC & I will fly home, either from Miami or Orlando (whatever is cheaper).

There you have it! At least we are getting somewhere on the time share biz because they have to reserve it ahead of time and I need to know dates to start seriously pricing airfares.

That sounds great Kat. Do you fly out of JFK or LaGuardia? Mo said she has gottne some great deals out of Newark, but I don't kow if that helps you at all:confused3
 
Does anybody else think it is ridiculous that Disney charges a room surcharge for any extra adults over two in a room? I mean the room is booked why does it matter if there are two or four adults in the room, it doesn't cost Disney anything extra. Sorry for the rant I just find it annoying that I have to add an extra $20 a night onto our room rate because there will now be four of us instead of two. :mad:
I saw that the other day and thought WHAT that's just silly!!!!!

Scaredy cat brits! ;) :lmao:
:rotfl2: My 2 weren't frightened but I did think that little ones could be!

Hi Jen, it's a group TR we're all meeting in WDW for a big Focker Meet :thumbsup2

Wow I'm glad I don't need to keep track of all that :rotfl2:
 

Morning Fockers, I see that about Free Dining and sorry Kat and Z, I'm with V and T about it. I hope it starts Labor day weekend or later. I have the DDE card and mostly staying on points. I rather not have the extra crowds. I picked this time for Kelly for a reason, since I wasn't allowed to take her out of school. (DSIL is a teacher)

Kat, that's great that you are nailing down your plans, hope it works out.

T and Lessa, just go with what ever plan gets you more WDW time.

Yes I am an enabler too!:thumbsup2

OK, I have lots more catching up to do, see ya later Fockers!
 
Do it Lessa;) :thumbsup2 ```Boy I feel like I am enabling everyone lately:rolleyes1

:rolleyes: ::yes::

:faint: Wow that's a lot Kat! It might be cheaper through Orlando. Would I have to book MME? :confused: Lemme know.

So here's what's been going on with planning a little. Since Kat & I are splitting room costs, we were planning on staying at POR since neither one have been and both would like to try it. Then we added a day and the price went up a bit (of course). As I was pricing it I also thought to price what it would cost to rent DVC points and saw that IF we could rent points for an AKV studio we could actually stay cheaper/equal to POR. So have been putting out feelers on the DVC rent/trade board, although I'm afraid that might be a shot in the dark since this time of year may be popular for DVC members. Never hurts to try right? :confused3

I also called Disney and have no kind of codes attached to my name. :sad1:

I'm thinking of just booking POR and if we actually get anything with renting DVC points I could always just cancel. Or if the FL rates come out then it'll help the POR rate go down, since that might be better for us than the free dining code according to V's Disney math and we all know we should Trust V right? :confused3 I hate this waiting game :headache:

Did you order the planning DVD? I have heard alot of people say that they got a code attached to their names after they ordered the planning DVD. Just a thought
 
Ok, so this is not completely :offtopic: but I had to share this with you all.

In case you didn't know, we're having our house tented and fumigated this week and need to stay at a hotel for a few nights. Last night I was prepping the kids, telling them we had to stay at a hotel for a few whilst they "treated" the house. Evan tilted his head at me and raised his eyebrow, then asked me "We're not staying at the dirty hotel again with the smelly elevator, are we?" :lmao: :lmao: I had to bust up laughing, because I knew exactly what hotel he was talking about.... POFQ! :lmao:
I have officially turned my kid into a resort snob! :snooty:

I'm not a Focker, though I recognize many of you. Any rate, as I'm going to be there FockerFest weekend (but with the nephews in role model mode much of the weekend-and role models would not meet people from the Internet ;) :snooty: ), I figured I might as well say a quick howdy. Hi, I'm Heather

HI Heather. Welcome to the mad house:goodvibes
 
That sounds great Kat. Do you fly out of JFK or LaGuardia? Mo said she has gottne some great deals out of Newark, but I don't kow if that helps you at all:confused3

JFK usually. It's generally the cheaper one. We flew into Newark this past trip but with the tolls to get home it wasn't really worth the few dollars savings. I do still look into it tho because you never know about a good deal!

:faint: Wow that's a lot Kat! It might be cheaper through Orlando. Would I have to book MME? :confused: Lemme know.

I was going to PM u today and say that one of us needs to book POR just in case! So let's def talk about that one! If free dining doesn't end up that weekend we can just pare(pair?) down the ADRs and split the cost of the DDE card! I'm happy as long as we are in Disney so whatever works!

I don't know if I can be considered an "official" Focker (although I have the LGMHs, LGBagalini, among a few other things, and have 10 focker points) but this is a pretty cool crowd here :cool2: and I believe you will be welcomed with open arms, although they "will be watching you". :rotfl2:
