And these are the {Resort} Changes of our Lives ~In Memory of JungleCruiser <3

[pas130]

Jeanette: Violin? How lovely!

I am so very proud of her. With her anxiety..this is huge! She also signed up for chorus, her idea...she CAN carry a tune (unlike her momma)

Yay for your DS!

There is just something about being on monorail. :

My boys still think I'm the best thing since sliced bread. I squint my eyes and skim really fast over stuff like this. It won't happen to me...it won't happen to me....

DS12 is still my cuddlemuffin...but the tude is in full force !!!

I text DH Poly pics all day!!! I can't wait!!!!

I rechecked today, and figured out why there was a difference. The YC is pool/lagoon view, and they didn't have garden view. The BC has garden view available. I can always just book the BC, and put in a request for a full balcony. I have never had a request not fulfilled, and hopefully with it being a slower time of the year it will help.

It'll be FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations seem to be in order to DetTigsGal's DS and Pas' DS for making Wind Ensemble!! They are going to ROCK it out!! And Good Luck to HRH on her concert next week!!

She's so funny...she said they sound horrible...outta the mouths of babes

"may" be??


Pas, we'll get you to FL this year or bust!! And yes, best not to tell DH about December now.... maybe tell him Dec 1??

I meant you may be in Nov...I am SO going

I will drive to work and end up at the airport maybe

We just got our refund from the IRS. Crazy, yes?
... so I just spent about 10 minutes trying to price out a late October trip on the new site.

Did u book!!!!

Jeanette I say tell him about the Dec trip when you get back!!! Just tell him you're working a lot of days that month!!! Just sayin .... cheap trip at the timeshare! Not to mention the great company!

I like the way you think!!!

I actually made it through a day without making a change. I'm glad I got rid of Cl. I may even cancel Universal and just do the beach. This could be my cheapest WDW vacation ever. I have the money, but I have done everything I want to do at WDW. Our September vacation was my dream vacation. I can't top it. Is it Disney burnout? The only thing that gets me excited is the idea of a 7 day cruise on the Fantasy.

Just time to mix it up a bit!!!

Janet and Pas- thanks for the congrats for J. He is pretty excited.

Pas- congrats to your son and hope hrh enjoys her concert- my older son played the violin from 4th grade until he graduated

DH really wants to switch to flute..I played flute 4th-11th grade as well. I did alto sax in marching band and piccolo...and I told him flute and sax are pretty interchangable...I have a future Kenny G (if he practiced more) He did Cello 3rd &4th grade

I think I'm suffering from work burnout more than WDW burnout. I'm really starting to think I need to go back to working part time for a few months, and scale back on my spending. I'm taking all of next week off for a little staycation. I haven't done that in a long time. 6 days without the alarm clock going off at 4:30am. I can't wait.

I had one of those.....5 days off..it was wonderful

completely off topic...just have to see if I'm the only one... my kids think I'm crazy. Everytime I see the super bowl commercial. You know the you just won the super bowl ... I'm going to Disney World one. I get goose bumps... my kids think it's so funny... I know I can't be alone here right?!?!

Not alone at all

I'm so lost but, I can't even try to catch up....but I miss all of you!!!! Hope everyone in the path of Nemo stays safe and warm!

Your live TR is keeping me warm!!!

So RCers, I bought DH a Richard Petty driving experience for his bday, which falls (with our anniversary) when we are at WDW soon. Hope he likes it! Hope his insurance is paid up!

Hope he likes it too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2 feet??? Bring it on.

I'll be stranded at work until Sunday night Kids have a half day today for some fun before I head out at least

Bring it on Nemo!! School is closed here too! Going to be a lazy day here, and lots of the kids going in and out of the snow!

I wish I was off tonight

Poll for all my RC ladies....should we add Park Hoppers to our tickets for May???? I know we will be spending a lot of any free time we have at SAB, but being so close to Epcot and HS, it would be nice to take advantage of that. Not sure what to do....Help!!

Jen

I don't do park hoppers...I try to plan around EMH etc...its $250 for the 5 of you right? I'd think how much you'll really want to hop and think if it's worth it..I mean that's a night at the Sandcastle Club and an Epcot dinner...just an idea

Just wanted to check in now and try my best to catch up, Yes I am behind again trying to overcome another of my funk periods(the 1 yr anniversary of my DS Shawn's day Feb 13 is fast approaching)

Still have not booked our F&W trip yet but have discussed the dates more with Bob, leaning towards early Nov for the cooler temps hopefully will just have to avoid the last weekend as I know the crowds at F&W are crazy with it also being Veteren's Day. Poly is still #1, CR TPV is under consideration

It started snowing here about 8am and everything is already covered praying the power stays on.

Everyone in Nemo's path stay safe and warm

I saw that Shawn's anniversary is coming Funkiness is allowed this week....seeing Melissa's pics makes it so hard not to want to be at CR ....

Bree kept saying this morning...we will SO lose power mommy...then DH said she heardit on the news

 

[pas130]

morning..
can you imagine WHY ON EARTH would anyone name a horrible white stuff from the sky storm after a sweet little orange and white fishie....geesh...
we are experiencing a little clipper off the coast of Maine that got here by accident...the real big storm is on our doorstep according to the weather guy on tv..then we are in for it all...three storms go figure...
we have food and lamps are ready to light up if we need it...telephone wont go out this storm as we changed to fairpoint instead of time warner....hubby has the snowblower ready..but wont touch the snow until tomorrow at least...no sense in moving snow that will get blown right back at ya...

Hope the rest of the snow peeps stay safe too..

We were supposed to get rain until afternoon...yep...all snow so far

Stay safe as well

Sending you hugs Sheila, I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel, but I am thinking of you.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Thanks for the input on the PH, not sure, but I would love to be able to stroll over to Epcot on a whim. But as it is our first time in the area, we will want to explore the Boardwalk at night too. What to do....

 

[jennyjinx3]

My DD's have emptied every craft material possible onto my kitchen table and then attempted to clean it up, worked together to do it too. Now they are outside jumping on eachother in the snow. My house is a mess, but I don't care!! Which is weird for me. I am trying to change my ways...really. They are not fighting and are just having fun.

My mom called and I told her what was going on over here, and she said "You are so lucky". And she is right! Messes don't matter.

 

[padawans]

Sheila So sorry.


PAS I go through periods where I love to work, and periods where I start to wonder if it's all worth it.

Jen I was wondering why your not getting AP's if your going back in Dec? If not park hoppers are the way to go.

I heart The monorail is the best. Poly cl is the best.

I'm going to keep telling myself I do not need Club level. If I say it enough I will believe it.

A great big hug to you from all your RC family.

I'm hearing rumors that some of the RCers might be at WDW the first week of Nov .... or that's at least a maybe! Since I've decided that a spring trip is just out of the question (too much puppy training going on) I've been checking on a little trip for DH and I .... and maybe DD too. Sounds like a good week for you and Bob too!

So I'm a little slow this morning ... Jeanette is that Jersey week?

Stay safe everyone!

 

[Mousemommy1]

[Missoutandabout]

Good morning little snow bunnies.

Please, send all extra snow back this way. I will gladly accept delivery.

Trying to fashion a good reply-post for all the chatting that went on yesterday and this morning before I head off to be tortured...

-----------------

Sheila: Thinking of you and sending you

Pas: *AND* HRH plays the violin? Yep, I think I was right about the RC family being full of musical prodigies. I'm sorry you'll be stuck at work.

Wookie: Let me just say WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for booking BC. SAB SAB SAB!

Melissa: Loving the report, have to go catch up though.

Jen: Tent-trailer soon to be hotel camping? You guys'll have a ton of fun, I know it. Oh, I just read the first post in that thread you linked to... because when I saw the subject matter, I just knew it'd bring out the crazies.

Linda: How did Samwise (best "best friend" name ever, by the way) do at school?

Janet: Your suggestion to have Pas tell her DH about the December trip on Dec. 1st...

Magic: Oooooh, I always hear those guys roaring around when we're near the Poly. Hope the city boy can handle it!

Hugs to all of ya and some extra to the lovelies I didn't make it to (I really type far too slow ) : I_Heart, Pumba, Candace, Padawans, DetTigsGal and anyone else I missed.

Back later!

All good Jen! You can add on at the resort or Guest Services!!!

I am in a work funk myself....I just keep swimming, just keep swimming

I (for today) am OK with not being CL...we really don't need it...

Stay safe everyone!

It's Jersey Week!! Kids are off Tues, Thurs & Fri...andI plan to head home BEFORE the weekend (although depending on the 1st MVMCP...I MAY add a night)

Sheila I remembered that Shawn's anniversary is next week , we are here for you my friend...
Be safe and warm too... so hope you don't lose power...we are getting rain and more rain .... supposed to be sleet at times, but our area is not getting hit with the snow accumulations... only up to 4 inches.

Janet has wonderful ideas... Or maybe I can tell him after I buy him a LapuLapu...he LOVES those

I will try to get a good HRH pic Tuesday night

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

All good Jen! You can add on at the resort or Guest Services!!!

I remember one of our best ever trips was Jersey week. We had planned for F&W and of course Halloween party but then wait .... my grandson and I figured out if we only added on another couple of days it was time for the Christmas party!!! And that's how our trip became 18 days!!! Is it any surprise that this is the grandson who is now a CM at WDW?!?!

 

[padawans]

I'm glad your getting a good laugh out of it. I'm still Club level at Universal. I'm just a little short( money) of where I want to be heading into this trip. At the moment it's Universal vs YC Cl and Universal won. I will never say never to Cl. I still have 2 months to make money and change my mind multiple times.

Our last Jersey Week was at FWC, it was so much fun!!!!! And the weather was beautiful I think you DGS is awesome...like his grandmother

I looked and it would save me bunches to switch to Universal either RPR or HRH CL...but not exactly a good home base for WDW

Quoted the wrong message but yes I am going to run a few numbers and see which is best. We are going for 4 or 5 days in Nov so you could be right about the AP's.

Pas, remember your mantra .... Can't wait to find out last MNSSHP, and is Sam is off Mon/Tues. We need to set up lunch or dinner, to get you out of your funk!!

Janet: Your suggestion to have Pas tell her DH about the December trip on Dec. 1st...

Miss, was thinking Pas could say she was just coming to stay with me a few days....although I do like Pas' suggestion that she get up to go to work and head to the airport instead...

AI'm hearing rumors that some of the RCers might be at WDW the first week of Nov .... or that's at least a maybe!

My mom called and I told her what was going on over here, and she said "You are so lucky". And she is right! Messes don't matter.

Jen, you have your priorities straight... it's why my house is always messy!! Enjoy the day with your girls!

I am so very proud of her. With her anxiety..this is huge! She also signed up for chorus, her idea...she CAN carry a tune (unlike her momma)

So happy for HRH too!! ... And Pas, I can't carry a tune either... Get pix of our royal highness!

DS12 is still my cuddlemuffin...but the tude is in full force !!!

it's the age.... they start thinking they know everything!

She's so funny...she said they sound horrible...outta the mouths of babes

Love Bree

I meant you may be in Nov...I am SO going

Is that a pinky swear???

I was actually thinking maybe Busch Gardens and Space Center. Something different? I think I'm suffering from work burnout more than WDW burnout. I'm really starting to think I need to go back to working part time for a few months, and scale back on my spending. I'm taking all of next week off for a little staycation. I haven't done that in a long time. 6 days without the alarm clock going off at 4:30am. I can't wait.

Like both your BG or Space Center ideas... And a little me time is just what the doctor (or nurse ) ordered!

completely off topic...just have to see if I'm the only one... my kids think I'm crazy. Everytime I see the super bowl commercial. You know the you just won the super bowl ... I'm going to Disney World one. I get goose bumps... my kids think it's so funny... I know I can't be alone here right?!?!

Me too...my DD always say.. Mom are you crying?? I'm just a sap.

Twist my arm... I mean... send me some dates and I will do my best to be there. It's tough work, but someone has to be the Official RC Florida greeter to Piano Bob-dom.

And you are the perfect candidate!! Will email you dates...

So RCers, I bought DH a Richard Petty driving experience for his bday, which falls (with our anniversary) when we are at WDW soon. Hope he likes it! Hope his insurance is paid up!

Excellent!! Does he know about it yet??

Sheila, you are so often in my thoughts and prayers. Yes, Shawn's day will be here quite soon. I pray this coming week passes moderately and with grace. And remember, we are all here for you.

Is that a pinky swear???

Totally coming to florida BFF!!! I DO pass the airport going to work..I could claim insanity that I hopped a plane to Orlando

So....I texted DH about RPR and HRH being cheaper...but he said he likes our plans now...plus we can't drive after having Slushies now can we???
