You CAN'T!! So happy for you Sheila! :banana::banana:

I've been scouring the airfares for Memorial Day weekend .. just a dream ... to see if I can score low airfares ... Sam's BFF will be staying with us while her family is in Illinois. Odds are we will do something fun local. :goodvibes

Checking air fares is as addictive as checking room availability. Wishing for a air fare sale for Memorial Day for you !:wizard:
 
Turning off computer now! But I had to say:

dani: I sure hope your work situation get better. I will saying “Wishes” that things get better for you in the coming days!

sheila: All I can say is: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: BWI WV -- Fantastic for you!!!!!!!!!! I'm coming to visit your balcony in Dec. ;)



Hi to RCers I've missed. :) Enjoy your weekend! :hippie:

Linda Come on over! :cool1:
 
PAS: I agree! :thumbsup2 well said, Janet :goodvibes Enjoy your family time tonight :lovestruc
I also like the idea of S/D for MIL.....close, but not too close! ;)


SHEILA: CONGRATS :cool1: on the booked trip!!!! that's wonderful and sooooo exciting!!!! I would love to see WDW all decked out for the holidays one year! :lovestruc you'll have an amazing time with DH I am sure!

Marie we have talked about seeing Disney decked out for Christmas forever but when we worked neither of us could take vacation time during the Holidays. I can not tell you how excited I am. :santa:
 
So I got a call from Admin. that I have to come. I am getting a major award (I picture the lamp from A Christmas Story) :rotfl2: I am taking DS11 as a date, if nothing else we can go out to dinner...::yes:: I am a loser to agree to go :confused3
DH said he is proud of me with or without an award. Although he wants me home, he loves that I am taking DS :)

SO HAPPY FOR YOU SHEILA :cool1::cool1::cool1:

I know :hug: so I revamped the trip......because I felt like it......I will give full details soon....but I'm going to get pretty for my major award.....

hint...DD6 will be "Rockstar of the Day" on her birthday :rolleyes1

So glad you did this for yourself....:dance3::hug:
Enjoy the windy city! Can't wait to hear about your RC!

:hug: I couldn't leave the nominator sitting there without me.....

Well put Marie :hug: It is so true...She is missing out...she will never understand it. My kiddos are loving, giving, souls....the ONLY reason I won't leave her roadside in Delaaware is cause of HRH....my mother doesn't even remember the kids names...except 3 maybe :furious:



hint #2 HRH :hyper:

OOOO!!!! I didn't even need hint # 2, LOL! how fun!!! But does that mean you won't be at Disney that weekend? Still planning for Sept 30 MNSSHP? I sure hope we get to meet still :)

I got my party tickets via fed ex about half an hour ago! That was FAST!!!!! I hope I don't forget them, lol....I'm tucking them in my Passpoerter Pocket under Sept 30 Envelope!

CONGRATS again on your prestigious award! I was figuring it was pretty big, and was actually surprised at your plans to stay home!!! have a fun night with your DS.....GREAT DATE! :lovestruc
 

WDWKOOK: Stay true to your pioneering ways if FWC signs to you. But you sure can't beat a CR CL either...:rolleyes1
My pioneering spirit just had me looking at videos of VWL and FWC - I'm a hopeless pioneer with CL tastes!



Kook,
I wish I had a good suggestion for your anniversary, but nothing comes to mind. 13 days CL at WL certainly sounds lovely, though.

So, I had to call CRO...make a change....my file keeps growing.:rotfl2:
I would have loved to stay at WL, but this trip is about doing some extra special things for her. My WL return will have to wait.
Time for me to hop off the computer, get back to my to do list!

I'm keeping a file, too on everyone who changes from WL:snooty:.

WL will be there for you for a future trip, gwynne AND you'll have a rehabbed room!

YOU ARE NOT A BOTHER!!!! :hug:I love when you are here....but I understand your frustration. I say CR....you miss it there....and then over to WL :lovestruc
:hug:
The Kook Krew tried to push me right into BLT this morning. (We frequently have these resort discussions as we're all getting ready and heading out the door in the morning.)

DH even just called and asked if I had booked it, but I just haven't been able to do it. I know the VWL one bedroom only has one bathroom (with two entrances), but I still find myself looking at videos of it and then I think about how much I love it over there. I also looked at some BLT videos and even though I love the CR and love the one bedroom layout, I'm much more worried about booking it instead of VWL. You know how review-sensitive I am:scared1:, and the VWL reviews overall are much more favorable than BLT. I know this shouldn't be so difficult a decision since we're also staying at WL/CL, but we've never stayed in a DVC and I guess I've got cold villa feet:cold:paw:

I know just how you feel about your award recognition tonight and you made the right call to skip it, but if it's a MAJOR AWARD and you can bring DS, then I think it's a must-do:

And, so glad your fever broke. We want you in tippy-top shape for your trip - it's so soon:yay: Oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on snagging the RPC/TPV (yes, I was lurking on the GF thread).


WDWKOOK, I gather there was no availability at FW Cabins? Discovery Island?!! :rotfl: You know I love you or I wouldn't tease you so much! Now then, I think California Grill for your Anniversary is a great option. You know I didn't love the service a few weeks ago, but the food was delicious! I had my birthday dinner there last Oct and felt like a queen. I can speak to BLT. We have stayed in a one bedroom at BLT a couple of times when our young adult daughters have joined us. PROS: You can't beat 2 full bathrooms (when one of our young adult daughters join us), privacy (discussed before), location (being able to walk to the MK) and we really liked the lagoon view( we requested high floors both times). We loved sitting on the balcony at night, watching the boats go buy, looking at the WL, and watching the EWP. CONS:, theming is weak, really missing that WDW feeling, monorail is very crowded at that stop since it is for both CR and BLT, :scared1: and no lobby or grounds to walk and relax. Good luck with your decision, and you so aren't a bother!!! We love watching the changes everyone makes popcorn::
Oh, there's availability alright. I could book the FWC then take our rental golf cart:hyper: over to the marina then swim over to DI and have my pick of accommodations:snooty:. There must be a rusty ol' bench there somewhere, but I might have to fight off all those birds...

Love you right back, JC:hug:, and thank you so much for posting your thoughts and experience with BLT:goodvibes. But I was just looking at VWL videos again - I'm hopeless. I won't repeat what I posted above to Jeanette, but have you also stayed at VWL? DD would love BLT because of the extra bathroom and the walkway and decor, but I keep worrying about those negative room condition/furniture reviews and I know this is silly, but DH and I LOVE Sturdy Branches at VWL and jogging around FW and visiting the ponies early in the morning... Oh, my, I think I may be addicted to WL. I can't even book a 4-night stay somewhere else. I need an intervention - or should I just book VWL? Or BLT? Please don't tell me to book both... (I know what Christine would tell me to do:rolleyes1)


I took the Plunge and booked this am BWI Water View Nov 28 to Dec 3 ! :love::banana:


Oh I also showed him the review of Tutto Italia's re-opening on easywdw which helped since he had wanted to eat there in March but it was closed.

I'm so very happy for you, Sheila! It's wonderful having a WDW vacation to look forward to and plan and what a wonderful time of the year to be going! I guess I'll be seeing more of you on the BWI thread:thumbsup2.

I can't wait to try the new and improved TI, too. DD loves Italian and I'm a little tired of TTS and we don't like MM at DHS, so it's great that TI is back open.

Yes it would be fun to cross paths somehow! Then DH wouldn't think my friends on the RC thread are imaginary!!:rotfl:
:rotfl:
I can so relate - DD and DH call them my virtual friends, and DD asks if they actually exist - kids....
 
pas
I hope you and your escort have a wonderful time tonight! Hmmm I saw KOOK mention RPC TPV ??? :banana:

KOOK I never left the BW thread just have been quiet with no trip in the works.
 
I'm trying to keep up but seriously lacking sleep so please excuse me if I skip anyone.

Pas it's very nice to bring DS. You're doing what needs to be done. Being responsible blows sometimes!

PS I'm going to be in Menlo on Sunday. Any chance you're free?

Sheila yay for booking something!!! That's so exciting!

Thanks everyone for your support. I love you all dearly. So far so good tonight so I'll just see how it goes. Only 2 more days until I'm off.
 
I did not change to WL CL, but....:rolleyes1

Long story, lots of drama...happy ending....more after Zumba, gotta run!!

:faint:

OOOHHH! I saw the secret!! :rotfl2: YEAH!!!!! You are back at tropical paradise :goodvibes can't wait to hear the back story....good move my friend! :cool1:
 

...and there it is... :duck:

kook Puh-lease don't hurt me!!!!!!!!

Ok, so yesterday...I told you guys that I was having my bratty moment and that I was less than cordial with my DH...again, basically feeling like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders, and trying to balance that with DH needing to be there for his job, etc...anyways...that carried into today, with DH and I emailing back and forth while at work, voicing our concerns/feelings. It was very therapeutic, and long story short, we got it all worked out...we always do :love: but...DH said that I do do alot around the house, and with the kids, and have a lot on my plate...but that this is partly my fault as I am an extreme CONTROL FREAK and that he offers to do stuff but I won't let him "because I think I can do it better". Well, this is true. :worried: and, he said I need to start letting him do more when he asks...and then Disney came up (as an example he was using) ~ all of the changes I have made with our reservation. He pointed out all of the reasons that I have loved the Poly and wanted to stay at the Poly, and how long I have talked about it, and then given the change, I shut it down. He said, "maybe it will be run down, maybe we'll get a crap room, but probably not, and we'll be together, so who cares???" Did I mention that I love this guy? :love: he then stated that HE wanted to stay at the Poly and was :furious: when I changed but figured it was futile to say anything because I just don't listen. So, for DH, and ME, I changed to the Poly...and come to find out...the girls had been telling him that they wanted to stay at the Poly because "they wanted to swim in the volcano pool", but that DH told him that because it is my birthday during the trip, I will control where we stay and to not question me. I guess I am a control freak...and you know what? I let DH call and make the change...and it felt good. And he was happy...:wizard:

That is all. :goodvibes
 
Dani I hope the rest of your work night goes good for you. :hug:


MM Poly???

We were posting at the same time and I am Happy you will be staying at your dream resort.
 
kook I feel like we are the Miser Brothers from the Christmas movie. :rotfl: The WL Miser and Poly Miser!

Candace I'm very happy or you. Honestly I think you made a good decision based on the discount alone. WL is much more affordable with a lower discount than the Poly is.



Work finished out on a good note. I was pretty busy tonight so he didn't have much of a chance to bother me....and my hours are back to how they were in October with me leaving at 9:01. I don't get it. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Apparently, it's somewhat of DH dream resort too ::yes:: I'm really good at playing things off as negative if I am trying to convince myself of it. Now, everyone is happy, trip is paid off...and now we count down the days till our 10 nights at the Poly!!!:yay:

I am in SHOCK!!!:faint: but i understand!!

I knew you would. :hug:

Glad work was decent for you!! :hug:

I agree about maximizing my discount...we would actually be willing to pay rack rate for a WL room, but not Poly, so it makes sense to use it on the Poly! ::yes::

I KNOW you'll be bringing me back a good review :) I agree WL next trip sounds wonderful and your 40% off pin was made for the POLY :lovestruc
