As the Ticker Turns~The next chapter of the Resort Changers Saga...*RC trips pg.238

[hstrickland]

Heather I plan and unplan over and over again.What I don't do is plan what I am going to do when I get there. Other than my dinner reservations I keep things free and easy. It's deciding when to go, where to stay, and how much to spend that leads to my craziness. If we didn't have AP's I would go in May every year, and split between Poly and BC. It would be so easy. It's the multiple trips that makes my head spin. It's kind of fun, but probably not for the Cm's in the interline office.

If you lived as close to the World as me, you really would go crazy!! I'm a bit ridiculous...I plan everything! That's probably why my husband liked the cruise so much...because I COULDN'T plan ...I had no idea what to expect.

Everytime I make a reservation I have to fax my dh's ID. The last time I forgot, and they called me and told me not to worry about it. They know me and could get it off one of my other reservations.I can only imagine what they say about me.

Yep...they just finished talking about you...I feel quite sure. Your number probably comes up on caller ID, or do you have a direct line to them?

Seriously guys this is my final ticker for my last 2012 trip. 10 nights in Dec with an even split between WL CL and BC CL. No October trip. I really wish the 2013 rates were not coming out next week. I'm not ready to go down that road yet.

No it's not...don't lie to yourself.....

 

[i_heart_the_mouse]

I was surprised how much cheaper Wl CL is than Poly cl. My kids don't like Akl or WL, but I they'll stay anywhere for CL. I'll have to check out Heathers TR.


Ok so ticker changed again. I went with a semi generic ticker for Spring. I haven't a clue. I will have to change my Oct trip to April or May when rates are released. I figured why cancel and repay the deposit when I can just move it over 6 months.

I think an Epcot resort for Spring so you can walk to F&G would be good! Then maybe a WL/GF split for December?

I wish WL CL and AKL CL were cheaper, but since we have to get 2 rooms there it's way more than I was paying for TPV CL at Poly. Hmmmm, not sure this change will stick after that sinks in. Maybe I'd better save this split for a future stay...

Hi RCers,
Today was full of change decisions. I think we've got things worked out, and now we're at the Beach Club in Nov. I'm committed, I even changed the ticker.
I need to get busy and backread, to RC friends.

 

[padawans]

I think I figured out how to post pictures. This is Nassau. I'ts a little big.

These are my kids, but I can't figure out how to shrink them. I'm a computer illiterate.

 

[gwynne]

Oh my goodness, Padawans, what amazing pictures!!
Your kids are adorable, and that water, it's just gorgeous!

 

[padawans]

This is them having fun with with a Mickey puzzle. They got bored painting the puzzle.

They do clean up nicely. Sorry I have no idea how to shrink I'll just roll with it.

 

[padawans]

I've had a glass a wine so I'll be brave and post one of the crazy lady.

This is the guy that puts up with me.

Somebody is going to tell have to shrink these things before I post more pictures. Ok go ahead laugh.

 

[gwynne]

Padawans,
Thank you for sharing the pictures. What great photos of your family!
And not a crazy lady at all, just lots of fun!

 

[jennyjinx3]

Padawans: Thanks for sharing those pictures of your family! I feel privileged when I get to sneak a peek at another RC family! They are all beautiful! (including you!)

I think I need to pick your brains about cruising!

 

[padawans]

Gwynne Thanks. I'm not sure I like seeing my self supersized on the internet. I am a complete computer idiot. I also lied it took two glasses of wine.

Jen Just don't listen to people that tell you to skip Nassau, and stay on the boat. The beach at Atlantis is breathtaking. The cab ride is 10 minutes. It cost 4 dollars and the beach is free.

Here is another picture of for you to enjoy.

This will be your child at the dinner table.

 

[WDWKOOK]

Love all the wonderful photos and your crazy conversations. We have a lot on our minds, don't we? Before my day slips away, I want to wish everyone a HAPPY FRIDAY and I hope that everyone is well.

I shall check-in later, but I have to head to the gym now...





Oh, how many days, Candace? Or are you at the wedding now?

 

[hstrickland]

Good Morning!


Hope everyone is well! I see Kook was wide awake at 6:30am....can't believe I slept until 7:20!!! It's a miracle!!!! And get this....the news said 83 in Chicago and 74 here this morning... a heat advisory??!! what in the world???

Padawans....thanks for sharing your family! I'm with Jen....love seeing family pictures of everyone. Glad you had 2 glasses of wine Are you using Photobucket or another site for pictures? If it's Photobucket I can help....any other site, not so much.

gwynne....so you THINK you're at BC in Novemember???? Doesn't sound like it's set in stone

i_heart....are you changing BACK to the Poly???? Not exactly a bad thing. You can hardly beat a TPV CL at the Poly ....sitting on the patio/balcony watching Wishes....waking up to the Castle across the lake.... Sorry....guess that's not helping.

 

[Janet B]

TGIF!!

Padawans ... I love your pix! Beautiful family! The boys being makeup artists is great!

I can help with resizing your pix too if you use Photobucket (it's actually easy once you know how) but know Heather responded as well, and she is our Photo Queen!

Heather... your pix are amazing as always!

Gwynne: Yay for the BC!

I heart the Mouse: I love the Tour de Lodge plan!

Hi to all! More later!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Hello RC Family!!!! I'm coming to you live from the Portsmouth Sheraton Harborside Hotel!!!!

Ok, that's not nearly as exciting as Disney, but hey, gotta get this wedding thing done. . The rehearsal went ok....DD5 decided not to walk down the aisle and to just stand there and cry instead (shocker)

But, she insists that she will do it tonight, and they've changed it so that she will be walking down with DD8 now, instead of the other flower girl. Fingers crossed she just walks down that aisle!!!! They are positioning me in the front corner closest to where she walks down so it's like she's walking to me....

Padawans. Awesome pics!!! You are not at all what I pictured! Lol! But you and your family are gorgeous!!! All of the RC families are gorgeous!!!

Oh yeah, and.......SINGLE DIGIT DANCE DAY!!!!!! 9 more to go!!!!



Have a great weekend everyone!!!!!

 

[gwynne]

Happy Friday RCers,

We're still having ridiculous heat. 102 today. Yikes!

Janet, Heather and Padawans,
I think this is a for sure with BC. DS, DDIL and GS are all very excited about Stormalong Bay.

Much though I love WL, they live out west. Somehow taking them to WL would be a little too much like where they live. Disney magic to them means--sand, palm trees, and swimming!

Kook,
Love Donald in your siggie!

Mousemommy,
Have fun at the wedding! Great idea to have your DD walk toward you. Bet she'll be so cute!
Single digit dance? Woo-hoo!

To RC friends!

 

[padawans]

Heather I found the edit button. I'm drinking coffee now. Apparantly coffee makes you smarter than wine. Yes it's a direct line, but I block my caller ID. I'm afraid they might not answer otherwise.

I heart I always second guess my descisions after they sink in. Oct or Dec?Good luck with yours.

MM I'm afraid to ask what you thought I looked like. If I would have gone to the other computer. I could have found a picture of myself where I was not a sweaty mess, but I was so excited by my new found ability I wasn't about to switch computers.

She'll make it...no worries! Keep thinking...Disney, Disney, Disney 9 days!!!!

Glad you figured it out..... for coffee!

I'm wondering, too!

 

[Jungle Cruiser]

Good morning and Happy Friday!

padawans, great pictures! Your boys are adorable, I love the picture of the little one sleeping at the table. Boy does that bring back memories!

mousemommy, yay for the single digits! I hope you share of picture of the girls in their wedding finery!

Spent some time on the WL thread last night. Wow, Kook, you did a nice job! Thinking about the first week in January WL CL, but that darn GF calls my name. I need to find out more about what will be going on with the construction. They are talking about expanding Sandy Cove and Gaspirallis, but not sure when. Don't want to be at the GF then I am sure Kook can give me the push I need for the WL!

Hope everyone has a good weekend. So hot here in the NE, it's going to be 98 degrees tomorrow, with a heat index of 104 Good day to stay inside

Hahahahahaha!! I pictured you as shorter, with dark hair. It's very hard to tell what a person looks like when chatting with them on-line, but your personality is just like a friend of mine and that is kind of who I pictured you looking like!

 

[WDWKOOK]

Good Morning!


Hope everyone is well! I see Kook was wide awake at 6:30am....can't believe I slept until 7:20!!! It's a miracle!!!!

Thank you for our beautiful morning pick-me-up

7:20 is super late for you! I'm actually up during the week at 5, but knew that if I didn't check-in before leaving this morning, I'd fall way behind before being able to see what you guys have been up to. I don't want to be out of the loop!

Hi to all! More later!

Howdy!

Kook,
Love Donald in your siggie!

To RC friends!

I just noticed your tag so I've PM'd you a little quackery

Good morning and Happy Friday!

Don't want to be at the GF then I am sure Kook can give me the push I need for the WL!

Thank you, JC.

I completely understand the pull of your favorite resort. Can you do a split?

I feel that with all the construction, obstructed views, closed spa, walls that are up, the pool area rehab, possible QS rehab, etc... your old friend, the GF, might not seem the same then. I feel there might be so many distractions and possible monorail interruptions again that it might detract from your overall enjoyment.

All of the WL rooms will be like new for your visit. Remember the rocking chair view photo you posted during your last trip? That could be in you in January! So peaceful and tranquil and just perfect weather for leisurely walks to FW and sitting in front of a cozy fireplace posting to the DIS

I think it's time for you to book WL and see what you've been missing - you will love the Old Faithful Club and you'll feel relaxed and happy every time you look out at Bay Lake and the geyser and sit in a cozy leather sofa or overstuffed chair
