Good morning all!

I got through another chemo! Thank you all so much for your kind words, it really means a lot

Catching up on the thread. I see our pas is making progress. They should be at the Welcome Center for OJ or grapefruit juice by now! We are always excited to stop there...it means WDW is close!

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend. I gather Magic is already on her way to NC.

Jeanette/pas UPDATE:

She is about one hour from i4 and has got her second wind! No changes were mentioned...





So WONDERFUL to have you back "home" JC! You are so strong and brave and we all admire you

If anyone is home! Disney World is on the History Channel! It's the Modern Marvels special! I'm taping it right now while watching it. I wish I could be there right now. :'(

Still plenty of time for change!!!

There's always time to change!

Knowing me, I would probably just say, "I feel like changing to this resort." while walking around the parks in the middle of my vacation.

Sarah!!

SO happy to "see" you posting ... it's not the same without you!


As Kook said, Pas was near St. Augustine around 12pm .... waiting to hear from her to find out if POP is really the destination!!!

Remember just because she checks into POP it doesn't mean she won't still change! That's our Queen!!!

Just jumping in to say....I was fooling around on the airline website to just see what I could get for airfare if booking now..... Let's just say, I am glad I jumped and grabbed it when I did back around Christmas....I am flying one way with WEST JET and home with Air Canada (a 15% off pin I got at Christmas).....booking both airlines flights cost us about $1950 for the 3 of us.....BUT!!! here's the kicker.....if I waited and hoped for that elusive "deal" I'd be running for the hills.....flights today are sitting at $3,058.00 for 3!!!
Good bye cheap airfare......hello longer breaks between trips That's just crazy.....
I paid more than I would like with $1950....but it sure beats $3058!!!

Exactly why I will be taking fewer but longer trips! I want to get my moneys worth out of my airfare $$$!!!

Just rec'd a text message at 2:55 pm.... all checked in, she did make a change ... she upgraded to preferred!!

In the 70s, Bldg 10, 4th floor ... in her words, the place is "cool"

 

[WDWKOOK]

Latest from Jeanette/pas:

They are getting ready to go to the pool (yes, at POP, I confirmed it). She was upgraded to Preferred in the 70s section and as I type, she's booking a BB - of course! When will she change the BB? I don't know

We were posting at the same time. I misunderstood her text, I thought she got upgraded, but she upgraded herself?

Ok, so I think this is simply because my 45 day mark is coming up exactly one week from today!!!

That means, for all intents and purposes, I am locked into my reservations!!!!

Having a mini-panic attack though...As you know, our WL CL ressie has long been paid off...no, it's not a financial burden...yes, my DH would kill me if I made another switch. It's just the whole "we've always had a great time at values" thing. It's knowing that for alot less, we would still have a magical time.

Now, my DH has completely ruled out values for the trip. Ok...so, POR RR...it would save us $1400...but we lose our first deluxe and CL experience. I don't know why I'm such a scrooge. I believe that the $$ we are spending will be worth it, I just keep going back to we could spend less...

Stupid I know. At this point, there is no better fit for us than the WL CL, it's perfect!!!! But, we could spend less...

I am too much of a cheapskate for my own good. I know I need to leave it alone, right???

In her text to me, it seems she upgraded herself.

If your not comfortable with the money. I would think long and hard about it. Wl is not a whole lot different then a moderate. If you really wan't Wl and the money is bothering you why not a non-cl room. CL is nice if you are comfortable with the money and just want to treat yourself. Dollar for dollar it's not that good a value for what you get. I know there are people on these boards that can't live without Cl. I can take or leave it. If I have some money to blow and wan't to pamper myself I would do it again. I know my ticker says Cl, but as we know my tickers mean nothing.

It's difficult when you have Ap's, and you have to budget for multiple trips. That 1400 would pay for a short third trip so that is a also something to consider. Good luck.
