Christine I often think about an elderly neighbor we had when I was 9-10 years old. He was talking to my mother and remarked "I don't know why they call them your Golden Years, there's nothing golden about them"

Boy he sure said a mouthful :rotfl:

That is soo true!!!:rotfl:
 
Pas now I know why I feel so close to you ...... It's your Birthday :)

The fall RC trip is not looking good. :sad2: We just can not afford the BW and DH keeps bring up valid reasons to hold off until 2013. New car, for one :rolleyes1
Yeah.....we have [/COLOR]other things to spend $$$ on too.....And so perusing the 25% offer....looks like I WILL save some money....and get to stay at RPC.....if

We go in August!!! All that was available was a King Room....in RPC....poor me. I have to run this by HRH as it's not her birthday....but I am thinking she won't mind.....just saying.....sorry to my Sept. RC peeps. I feel like I betrayed my friends:guilty:. But this will work better since DH will NOT want to part with HRH on her birthday. I AM taking DS3 so I was told my room would have a daybed. No worries the 3 of us will be in the same bed....:dance3:
When I was in my 40's, my mother's friend would say to me, "Christine, getting old is not for wimps!" Her other words of wisdom, "Getting old sucks!". I remember being shocked at the term...I still do not use that term! ;):confused3




:cheer2: So does this mean a visit to the Mouse???:yay:

I am told on a daily basis by my patients, "don't get old"...I am working on it!!!

And my motto is "live each day like there's no tomorrow" That's why I'm so impulsive.....;)

My name is Jeanette and my last change was 11 min ago :cheer2:

Welcome to the hottest month you could ever pick to go to Disney! :woohoo:
 

Welcome to the hottest month you could ever pick to go to Disney! :woohoo:

:rotfl2: August is miserably HOT and HUMID - that's when I went with my kiddos every years.... but the absolute worst I've ever experienced was late September into early October. It was so much worse than August or July...and I never expected it! That year I went with my friend, who is a Florida native - she said it was typical for that time of year.:eek: Thank goodness we were at GF and had a glorious view because we spent a few hours a day recuperating from the heat and humidity! :sunny:
 
I don't know if I can catch up here, but I will try! I think it's time for me to get real:

I am a resort changer. :rolleyes1

I can't fight it. I can't deny it. My last change was probably a week ago, but I'm planning to change again today. :crazy2:

Started out with a plan for a split stay (already showing signs of waffling) between CSR and POP. Changed to WL with plans to add POP. Then, went for straight WL no split. Now planning to make a new reservation entirely today and change to AKL CL. :cheer2:

I still have one night uncovered, though, so my guess is I will probably make another.....change! pixiedust:

Just can't make up my mind! We're only 57 days out, too! :idea:

Hello, all! :cool1:

Really?! I survived late September. Maybe I will be able to tolerate August! :yay: In all seriousness, September was the absolute most miserable I've ever been in Disney. I couldn't tolerate the heat and humidity. My asthma was a MESS.

Sorry Christine....when my MIL decided she is coming with us in May, my DH decided she needed her own room....thus I switched my glorious Poly/RPC trip to SSR....not sitting well...I took the leftover $$$ and booked RPC for Sept...HRH ad DS3 birthay trip...just the 3 of us! Yesterday I changed to CR TPV CL, and today switched dates, to August 11th-15th (25% off) and changed BACK to RPC. All that they had was a Deluxe RPC King...let me restate all they had CL was KING RPC.....:yay:
Welcome to the hottest month you could ever pick to go to Disney! :woohoo:

OMG I know!!!! Alas I shall have to nap in the afternoon :thumbsup2

Hello, all! :cool1:
Where is the uncovered night...at the beginning....book Pop....(the co-hosts of the thread are part of the RC family...nicest peeps ever) you sure about leaving WL....it is the resort of the week :goodvibes AKL pool is great, and CL in the summer....ahhhhh. How about WL CL.....:flower3:


Welcome to the party!!!:wave2:
 
pas I like the change :yay: I was rooting for GF to come out the winner. I survived August twice what I recall most were a couple or torrential downpours more than the heat.

I almost booked CSR preferred King but stopped myself :rotfl2:
 
No more bedspreads - they're being replaced with duvet/comforters! I think our flagship resort, GF and Poly might be the only hold-out after September?

SEE, the cool kids with APs do go in August;). Nice to see you back over here:)

Hi KOOK! Thanks - good to see you, to read your reviews and to see all those wonderful photos! Our oldest was just getting sentimental about WL (used to stay there before we became an official family of five) and your response about the comforters might just put us over the edge! Even changing resorts six times in six nights, we can't decide which six!

:laughing: WL is just overall a better fit for our family and our "Disney vacation style". The Poly is gorgeous but there so many things we'd be paying a "premium" for that we wouldn't even be using, and that just makes me :sick:

Maybe we'll stay there someday, when it's a better "fit". ::yes::

MM, we'll miss you over on the BC/YC thread, but I'm happy that you found a good fit! WL is wonderful, too!

I would be most interested in WL report on refurb room. We have stayed BWI CL, YC CL and now BC CL. We toured WL last summer and we are so spoiled by SAB that it is hard to fairly compare ANY resort pool. I appreciate the CS ooptions at WL and it did appear very homey!! But I had read rooms had seen better days, etc. so I blew it off. I would love to investigate it further. I am a huge fan of a split stay so could be 2013 front end of the trip!!! And honestly it seems so many poly fans have such fond nostalga for the Poly that as a newcomer to the Poly I obviously wouldn't hold such memories and would find myself over critically you know?

scottmel, I see what you mean about Poly. I've been staying there since the early 80's and I know nostalgia is a big part of my love for Poly. I really can't be very objective! I recommended Poly to friends who were first-timers last year. They were leaning toward BC because we love it so much, but I said that Poly would really be a better fit for them. They had never been before so no nostalgia, and they loved it! But it's really different from YC, for example, so they also didn't have a basis for comparison.

We're also considering WL for the front end of our 2013 split stay - funny that comforters end up playing a significant role in that analysis!

Pas, yay for RPC and your discount! I just checked, and the discount even covers my imaginary dates - right after swim team season ends! Hoping for even better rates if they release an AP discount for August!

I am hoping for better AP rates too....but it's all good! The trick will be affording airplane tix after our upcoming trip....nothing a little OT can't fix :lmao: I'd love to just go HRH and I, but as a favor to DH...I'll bring the little monster....HRH loves her little brother :dance3:

pas I like the change :yay: I was rooting for GF to come out the winner. I survived August twice what I recall most were a couple or torrential downpours more than the heat.

Last year I was more than happy to get back to GF by 1pm.....swam, snack, nap, back out after dinner ;)
 
AWWW PAS.... :sad1: Boo hoo, you won't be hitting up MNSSHP on the 30th with us, and I won't get to say hello to one of my favourite nurses/ RCer Peeps/ cyber friends! :hug: Don't feel :guilty: ...hey with your changing streak, you never know....when fall discounts come out, you may just be back with us!! I have learnt to never say never with you girlfriend!!! :)

I am anxious myself about the heat/humidity factor for our week....but if I could survive Sept 1-12, 2009....I am sure I can survive Sept 28-Oct7, 2012!! It's only a couple weeks difference....and maybe the weather God will be nice to us!

I am keeping with the POLY still, I have some unrational fear that if I don't try it now, it may be priced out for me in the future....or it may not be the same resort if it goes through changes in the next couple years! So...I am sucking it up and just seeing for myself....I truly think I will love it, so much appeals to me there from the atmosphere to the ammenities.....I will definitely be sure to let you all know if I feel the love! :goodvibes
If not, well....there is always AKL which the WHOLE family adores, so all is not lost by venturing out and trying something new :)

So true Marie, so true :hug:

The Poly will be fantastic!!! No worries it will :thumbsup2
 
Hi RC peeps! :wave2:

Yikes! So many pages to read. I cannot keep up with this thread! :scared:

Congrats on your award and on booking your summer trip pas130! :cool1:

Mousemommy, I like the change. Full circle RCing, right?

I am about to make a doozy of a CRO call in a minute here. Big changes are due. Goodbye Poly! I guess I kinda feel BTDT... it is my happy place for sure but... :confused3 not this time.

I have decided to take a page out of Pixarmom and padawans books and do a super-dooper split.

So far I am planning 3 nts YC-CL, 2 nts CR Atrium Club, 2 nights BWI CL and then end with 2 nts GF Sugarloaf. We have never stayed at any of these resorts so I'm excited to get a little sampling without commiting to a full trip somewhere new. :woohoo:

I am beyond excited and my DH even said that I sounded the happiest about this then any previous plans, so I think that's a sign! :cheer2:

I'm so nervous about the call that I may actually just book everything online and then call CRO to cancel my current ressie. I hope they don't throw stones at me :rotfl:

Fine then! Guess you don't want to play with us! :snooty:

:lmao: I'm just picking! You know I still luv ya!

It seems like a very nice change. Now.....

Will it stick? :confused3 :rotfl2:

Great. CRO said the system is down and I cant book online or on the phone. :sad1:

If I can't book soon it will have to wait till tomorrow. I get so nervous on my crazy calls that I only want to do it when the boys are at school and the baby is sleeping. No distractions please! Important business happening. :rotfl:
