Another lovely day in Oklahoma. . .

[NFLDERS]

Hello all! We are back from our less than stellar trip to WDW. We were prepared for lots of people and long waits. What we weren't prepared for were the attitudes from many CMs in management, transportation and housekeeping/maintenance. So glad to be back home!

So sorry to read, about the bad attitudes you experienced. No one should go on vacation, only to be glad to return home.

To our friend Willy J. Hope you are doing well and know how much your friends on the DIS miss you very much. Hopefully one day you will come back and let us know how you are doing.

Popping in to wish a Happy Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc. to all the ALDIO folks. I hope you've all had a lovely time celebrating with friends and family. WillyJ, like others have said, miss you and hope to see your words again soon.

We made it through another Christmas fellow ALDIO-ians! Did you all have a great day? Ours was one of the best. The 4 & 5 yr. old DGD's excitement pretty much made the day for their parents & us. DW & DD collaborated on a terrific meal and there are leftovers to get creative with.

Any plans for New Year's Eve/Day? It's sort of a non event around our house. About the only excitement will be if DD & her DH decide to go out, the DGDs may join us for a sleepover.

4 and 5 already, Ron. Time flies. Sounds like a great Christmas!

Our Christmas was great albeit, for one sad moment. Dgs (10) has not been to WDW yet, and because some of his friend's have he at times will ask, why they have not. Dil is from Germany, and when her grandfather passed she, our son, and grandson went over for the funeral. Then, dil went back to school for Accounting/Business degrees, and unfortunately last year when her grandmother passed they were unable to afford to be there for her funeral.

This summer they are going over for her brother's wedding, the time off for an added vacation because dil is newly employed, isn't a possibility.

My husband, and I took him on a Disney cruise in 2013 but, our limitations keep us from attempting WDW or our own Canada's Wonderland because of the walking involved... sigh. Maybe, we will have to consider a trip to the World without our daughter-in-law but sadly, it would not be the same.

No kidding Dan. You know that time we met up I think my DDs were still in high school.

Happy New Year from South Florida!

I'm kind of bummed, because we should be in TN on vacation now. We ended up using our vacation budget + some to get DS a once in a lifetime Christmas gift. This year just happened to be the right time for it. That caused us to put off our trip, but we're planning on going in 2018. This year DH wants to renew our vows. The ceremony & second honeymoon will take our expendable income for 2017. Obviously, we need more expendable income, if any of you have money laying around you'd like to share.

Sorry you had a bad trip. WDW is too expensive to walk away disappointed.

Happy New Year from Alberta - here in Calgary we've got another 5" of snow over night and it's -14C; very similar weather to Christmas Eve/Day.

Glad you have upcoming vacations in 2017 and 2018. Your renewal sounds like a lovely idea, enjoy the planning!

Helllooooo Citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year from my not-so-secret lair! Looking forward to spending more time with everyone here in 2017. DGDs visiting today, first movie of 2017: The Lion King

Hope your first couple (or 3 days if you're ahead of the US ) days of 2017 have been good to you. I've decided to remain a lazy slug on the couch or bed for the next couple days until I go back to work on the 5th. At least it's only 2 days!
We have already booked a spring trip to New Mexico so I'm already counting down till that.
Resolutions are solid so far. Most of them are work related, so they will kick in soon. Other was to rid myself of "friendships" that were dead ends. Found out one was so called friend that always complains that we never see each other/have dinner/hang out. Found out they were in the very near area visiting other friends during the break and not so much as a text came my way. Well I don't need drama.....adios!
Glad to have my ALDIO buddies to vent to!

I'm a little confused - a person you decided to end a relationship with didn't call when she was in town and you're cranky about it? I'd consider not having to avoid seeing her a win.
