It's really silly of me to think about it .... since my family vacation there starts on Oct 14th and I have to be in Chicago on Oct 11th! :confused3

I just needed something cheerful today. Yesterday my DD and I decided that it would really be best for us to just not have a relationship ... it's been a long rough road. I'm not sure how this will work with my relationship with my grandkids. This is not the DD that I visit in So Cal ... she is my best friend. Okay no more pity party ....

I am SO sorry :hug: this shouldn't affect your relationship with your grandkids, but not all moms put the best interests of the kiddos 1st when it comes to things like that :confused3

For what it's worth...you have family in NJ :hug:

And in NY!

Linda I'm so sorry for you. I hope your relationship with your grandchildren isn't affected by this. All kids need their grandparents.

You are both so sweet! And it really does help to know that I have my RC family! :grouphug:

I lost all my grandparents :littleangel: My Abuela pretty much raised me. And I miss her every day. All you can do is pray. I really hope it all works out, because you and grandkiddos need each other...

and WE ARE FAMILY :banana:(that's my Sister Sledge dance)
 


Fun, fun, fun!! :cool1:
So here I sit this morning pricing out a WDW trip for Sept 28 - Oct 1st! :scared1: If it wasn't for that darn airfare from the west coast it would be a no brainer! I'm sure there will be a good discount for rooms and I already have my ap. Can you believe at one time I had that time booked with free dining? :confused3

And heck, why not go? Watch for airfare sales and maybe you'll be surprised on a Tuesday or Wednesday when some airlines release unexpected and quickly disappearing discounted fares! :thumbsup2

Welp, now that
DVC is officially going to kill my beloved Poly I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like I need as many trips as I can get before they ruin her.

We've all known it was going to happen, but now that it's official, it is almost unbearable. :(

OH NO!!!! Christine I thought you had a SW ticket??? :confused3

The SW tkt has to be used by Sept 28th - meaning travel completed - so if I could travel on the 28th could use some of the funds, but loose the rest. :sad2:
:dance3:
No Mama Linda the sale is for you :hug: Christine can't go because her DD needs her to watch Sophia....she does so much...it's really too bad...keeping my fingers crossed it works out...keeping her on the reservation for now :goodvibes

DD Mia would tell me to go and that they would work it out, but I cannot put in that situation. Her job is the most rigid I've ever heard of (and I've been around the block a few times ;) ). All of her time off in lumped together and must be submitted November 1st of the year prior to the scheduled days off they want. No taking a personal day here or there...nope. 45 agents work on the account and so days go fast, with very little left over.

Her making it work means sil taking care of Sophia (which none of us want to happen, trust me...beyond a jerk) or DD using an hour here or there of her 12 hours of sick time and then they accuse her of misuse. It is awful and I will not leave her in the lurch like that.

One of the reasons I decided not to enter religious life again was so I could be here for DD should she have children - and so here I am.:thumbsup2 I am not angel, believe me I have my days when I whine and moan to any friend with a willing ear! :rotfl:

:hug: Oh, Linda...I am so very sorry. :hug: No matter what, we want a relationship with all of our children...so to be cut off is heartbreaking. It is not a pity party, just letting friends support you through a tough time.:hug: How I wish you could get down for that Sept weekend. Maybe you could fill in for me? ::yes::

:wave: Tuesday greetings, my friends! Sophia did not go to preschool today, so it feel like a long day...headache and allergies...poor Sophia gets the short end of the stick today. :(

Hope the rest of your day is delightful! :flower:
 
Welp, now that DVC is officially going to kill my beloved Poly I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like I need as many trips as I can get before they ruin her.

I just saw this too!!!:scared1: So glad we decided to go back in Sept...I hope nothing starts by then, but it sounds like next year maybe? :confused3
 
Christine well I for one wish Mia could get a new job .... that would solve so many problems for all of you! What a horrible place to work. :mad:

Thanks for the support about my DD .... it's been a long time coming and probably better for both of us.
 
My multiquotes didn't work and I have no idea what pages they were on now :confused3

Thanks pas for the definitions. Cracking up now about HRH! And glad to know that I didn't miss a wow resort. I couldn't for the life of me figure out RPC!

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Today, not only did I consider changing resorts, I also considered changing parks! I have never been to DL and thought this might be a good year to go. So far no changes though. I am not feeling very excited and I am not sure why. I don't know if it's the money (7 nights at BC), or the fact that airfare is ridiculous right now, or if I am worried about the heat ( we usually go in early Nov instead of late sept early oct). Maybe I just need to update my ticker!

I don't think anything will happen until at least the end of 2013 or maybe even later. DVC is going to want to get well into the sales at GF before they open up anything at the Poly. Also DH and I are both retired from a CA building department and from my experience it'll take quite awhile to jump thru all those hoops. As far as I've heard nothing has been filed with the local agencies in regards to DVC construction at the Poly. I do believe that there will be DVC there since it's the only deluxe resort without one but it will take some time to get it going. My hopes would be that they keep going on Hawaii, GF and somehow add more DVC here in CA but doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon ... just my wishful thinking.

Linda: :hug: it may be for the best with DD, but I am still sorry to hear you have to let go.....she is your child, and it still hurts, I am sure! We love you and support you :grouphug: and are always here for you! hey, if you can swing Sept 28 weekend, the more the merrier, I say...it would be lovely to meet you too :goodvibes

I must say, I am so happy I stuck with the POLY....glad I will get one chance to experience it as the original before all the changes take place :cloud9:
 
YAY THREE MONTHS TODAY!!!! :dance3:


Hello fellow RCers! :goodvibes
Hi kaffinito. It is so nice to see you. :banana: Excited to hear all about your August trip! :cheer2:

1st night POR RR
then SW (offsite 2BR condo)
then RPR~US/IoA
finally after 8 fantastic Orlando nights....3 nights Myrtle Beach
If this was a game show question I would have gotten the gong. Cause I didn't have one resort correct. BUT IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT! Enjoy!!! :cool1:

Welp, now that DVC is officially going to kill my beloved Poly I don't know what I'm going to do. I feel like I need as many trips as I can get before they ruin her.
Ditto. :thumbsup2

Trip report started!
I'm there! :)

Wishes for you that it all works out as it should. :wizard:

Sophia did not go to preschool today, so it feel like a long day...headache and allergies...poor Sophia gets the short end of the stick today. :(
Hope those nasty allergies subside soon. :guilty:
 
Hi Peeps ... missed a lot AGAIN .... :goodvibes

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Thank you for all the Bree birthday wishes...she enjoyed them

mama linda-grumpy my birth mother was here yesterday...guess now that she is widowed (again :rolleyes2) she misses her grandkids....ugh. sorry to sound so cold. BUT much love for my adopted Moms here!!! You ladies are the bestest :love:

Pas ... you are amazing mom and friend, your birth mother is losing out so much on everything. :hug: Very happy the Bree had a wonderful Bday, and have to agree with Christine ... no Bday pix to share??? :)

Ipas, my Mother has done some mean things, most recently to my sister but has hurt us terribly over the years. I honestly think she shouldn't have had children. That being said the only thing to do is to turn it around and love our children more. You are a wonderful mother and letting your birth mother see your children is a kind gesture...but know you can always come to us to vent :furious:

So perfectly stated Sarah:hug: Very sorry that your Mom wasn't a mom to you or your sis... just in name only ... It's made you and Pas both incredible Moms yourselves, wanting to be sure your children would always have the caring, comfort and love that a Mom brings ....:hug:

My mother should absolutely have NOT had children. BUT I am grateful she did, as I have a wonderful family and A GREAT LIFE! (after I turned 17, LOL) And I definitely think at LEAST a later flight on the 28th if not an extra day!!!!

Pas.. WE are SO grateful too that you Mom had you. :hug:

No sorry I won't be there .... REALLY WISH I COULD. I'll be there from Oct 14th - 26th. That silly Chicago bride just won't change her wedding date to work around my WDW plans! :confused3

Hmmm, Linda, how 'bout doing Disney BEFORE the Wedding in October??? Just a thought ...

Welllllll.....it didn't take TOO much convincing to win me over!! Disney World here I come to celebrate HRH's birthday!!! :love: Of course, hoping Dani will come that weekend, JC can extend, GG - will you be there too??? And who else? Janet, can you change your weekend by chance?

Well, I'm late to this party ... and now Christine you can't go??? Oh, wish some pixie dust would hit Mia's boss right in the face and she would magically become HUMAN!! :)

Well, .... I'm first always a DC (date changer) so ya never know!!

[/B]

YEAH! More friends to meet! :goodvibes that would be wonderful!

As for the HULK, PAS....that ride is MY FAVOURITE ride ever!!! to think I was a ride weenie in 2008....and I graduated to doing the HULK, Dueling Dragons, Rip Ride Rockit, Forbidden Journey....all of the things I used to be terrified of, and I had fun!!!!
I am still a little afraid of forbidden journey due to the stuff that "jumps out at you"....I don't like being startled in the dark...but the HULK, I could ride it over and over all day!! :) :banana:

Marie, I love Forbidden Journey, didn't get to ridge Dueling Dragons (it was down half the time we were there, then the rain hit, and the last day, was going to do it, but the ride opened again right after we ate in the 3 broomsticks. NO WAY! I have to do rollercoasters on mostly an empty stomach.

So here I sit this morning pricing out a WDW trip for Sept 28 - Oct 1st! :scared1: If it wasn't for that darn airfare from the west coast it would be a no brainer! I'm sure there will be a good discount for rooms and I already have my ap. Can you believe at one time I had that time booked with free dining? :confused3

Ummm, Linda, isn't the FD still available for booking thru 5/18??? Just sayin'

I'm not sure how this will work with my relationship with my grandkids. This is not the DD that I visit in So Cal ... she is my best friend. Okay no more pity party ....

Linda, I am so sorry ... perhaps your DD will recognize that her kids need their grandmother ...and will be missing SO much without you and your DH. Don't know what to say ... just that we are here and to echo Pas, you got a family in PA too. (we can be sisters, but you are the older one, right?? :upsidedow) My kids can use a nice young Grandmother too!! :cool1:

Luv: Have to head over and check out your TR! :goodvibes
Hi to all!!

Hi Kaffinito!! Good to "see" you!! When will you be there in August!! We'll be there too!! :cool1:


Happy tuesday!! Hi to all I've missed!!
 
Linda, I am so sorry. Family can be challenging in the best of circumstances. However, you know you are loved here. :grouphug:

Minnie&Nana, thank you for the explanation on where you live. So, you technically live in NC, but your roots are in Cambridge MA with a sprinkling of Chicago....do I have it right? :teacher: As for the trip in September, we will all get together at WDW soon...stay with your precious DGD. What about August for your SW tickets, there is going to be a big group there then...

pas, getting excited for your countdown. You should be doing the single digit dance :yay:

Dani, what am I missing? DVC coming to the POLY now?!!!!
