A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

[SunDial]

Wow, Ruthie, I am sorry for my part in any of this, I believe I missed a little bit

So, on to other things........ My mom and I have decided to take that mini trip in March and I would love your suggestions. I was originally trying to do it as a secret but that just did not work out. We will of course wait to see what kinds of discounts there are at that time. This will be a long weekend trip 3 or 4 days without park tickets. We just want to check out the resorts and DTD, eat some good food and relax (and get a little bit of our disney fix!!!! ) But this needs to be a DISCOUNT trip, so we will take a minimal amount away from our big trip in Oct.

Yay! two trips in one year....I'm so excited

It will depend on the weekend that you and mom will be here. You could very well be running into the Spring Break 2 week window. It gets busy during that time.

The resorts are a lot of fun to go exploring around in. The one thing that you have to remember is that there are no Disney buses that go from resort to resort. You will have to take a bus to a park or DTD to get on another bus to go to the resort you want to go explore. This could take an hour at times to do. A suggestion would be if you stay at the POP go to HS as this would be the shortest line to a park hub.

There are some resorts that you will only need to take one bus to and walk to the others in the area. POP and AoA are next to and in walking distance of each other.

The Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Clubs, The Dolphin and Swan are all in the Epcot resort area and are just a few minutes to walk to each. Poly , Contemporary and GF are on the monorail.

Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside are next to each other. You can walk to each other. You can also board the boats to DTD from here. It is a relaxing ride.

Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, Coronado Springs and the Animal Kingdom Lodge are very nice resorts to explore. They are themed very nicely. AKL has areas you can watch the animals from too. The only thing with these resorts are they are by themselves.

I have not been over to the Caribbean Beach in a about 25 to 30 years so I do not know what refubs/remodeling has been done.

Ruthie,
I fall off the earth for a few days and come back to find a ruckus. I hope that I did not contribute to the offending posts, and I hope that I am helpin you keep true to yourself (at least on your thread).

I hope I might get to see Monsters University. Maybe this weekend whike we visit my parents.

 

[Deesknee]

not sure what I missed. Sorry your weekend wasn't super nice. Sorry you got upset here.
Life here got a little sickly. Will talk soon

I will probably be accused of not being able to take a joke, taking things too seriously, acting holier than thou, I don't know, personally I don't care

If I don't feel comfortable enough to speak up at this stage of life and let things go on just to keep peace, and pretend to just laugh it off than I'm not being true to the person I want to be and to the God I serve

There I said it, I'll be accused of discussing religion I am not discussing it I am stating the importance of my faith to the core of who I am

It is a fact just the same as if l state that I am 5'4" and have brown eyes As surely as I tell you my age or the fact that I am heterosexual and married If I was homosexual I would tell you that

If you really know me then you already know what is important to me If you don't know me and are just lurking I felt the need to say it Otherwise who I say I am is a lie

I feel comfortable here, I have many friends here and people that care about me and that I care about But I have to speak up If I continue to bite my tongue and let things slide how is that any better than in a office setting I laugh along or silently condone what I find offensive

We have no control in life, ultimately what happens to us physically, healthwise, financially, etc How we are treated by a boss or a neighbor sometimes makes no sense and we are powerless to do anything about it I struggle with that and I pray about it

Sometimes we are disrespected but I won't tolerate it here This is my little place to share I have left page one the way it was (except for changing plans) from the start More for my sake than anyone else's

I could have died. That's a fact Maybe it was a second chance to evaluate what is important in life Maybe it happened so that I could start being a little more vocal about my beliefs Whatever the reason I am trying to live life differently

I'm not going to be subtle or quiet about what I find acceptable and what offends I have tried over and over to say what I wanted here and what I didn't The sexual innuendoes and not so subtle references are not acceptable I say I live a Christian life it's time to act like I do

If this sounds judgmental I am sorry you ( collectively/generally) are taking it that way Its not Take it anywhere you want, the community board, your reports, other peoples reports, your backyard or local hangout in real life but its not wanted here

Perhaps the next sound will be a stampede of feet heading out of here, or maybe it will be clapping of hands because I am taking a stand It doesn't really matter to me, I'm not looking for either I have accomplished what I wanted to and will no longer struggle when I shut down the computer with "How should I have handled this?" or "I should have said something" ..that's what I have been putting myself through Its now done Hope you will stick around if not well...I'm moving on, subject closed

I sincerely apologise. I did not mean to cause any offence.

Sorry about your dad. It is tough seeing those who took care of us bring the ones that need the care.
Prayers from here for strength.

I know what you mean I have the same problem I had to buy one of those stylus/pens ( $5 dollar general) otherwise I can't do the phone thing for posting at all I am catching up on your reports Picked up a few work hours this morning but will continue reading when I get home

Thanks. It is an amazing place. I'm still pinching myself. We're writing the offer this morning. The agents are very motivated to make the sale work. It sounds like the seller is also motivated to move on. So are we. Just like everyone said the bad thing happened a couoke weeks ago so we coild have a beautiful and lovely place to call home.

I've already started to figure out what is going to go where, but most of our furniture doesn't belong in a beautiful place like that so we will need to buy a lot of new stuff or find some good garage sales!
