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

It's not a usual morning without you too!! Hope she has fun at her school play! July is so close now...you must be on pins and needles!!

Oh, I am!!! Last night at dinner, we were doing Top 5 Disney Favorites (rides, restaurants, etc...) It was such a fun topic that even DH was getting into. We were all getting so excited, and after dinner spent a good hour watching youtube videos of rides and Wishes, etc...

Needless to say, we are all pretty excited!!!

 

[hstrickland]

Yep...I requested Tokelau again, we really liked it there last year. It was really close to everything especially the TTC. Is November any less chilly than December?

Isn't beinig close to the TTC the best?! I'm secretly wanting to go back to the Poly, but I dare not say that out loud at my house or Faith will have a fit! Are the rooms at Tokelau bigger like Tahiti's rooms?

I'll say that historically speaking, November and Decemeber are less chilly than February. When we lived in Orlando, I can remember laying out by the pool in December and the next year wearing a light jacket. You'll be fine, though. If your kids want to swim, I think the pool is heated, isn't it? Or did I dream that?

I'm here!!! Hectic Morning!!

All eyes on the prize though folks...July! Where I will have 3 weeks off to enjoy my babies....and darn near 2 of those weeks will be at Disney!!!!

Just keep swimming....

You made it!!! And poor you....2 weeks at Disney however will you survive???

Your dinner conversations sound like ours...especially when my parents are here. They're just as crazy about WDW as me. When I was in New York, I called home and Bill and the kids were watching YouTube videos of the Aqua Duck!

I think we have figured out our dates for 2013 now, we were up late discussing all our options! I mean he was trying to sleep while I kept poking him saying "did you hear what I said??"

Not so sure about doing SWW weekends, I am afraid of the crowd levels then. We have only ever come during low season so not sure I would like higher crowds. I think DH should do that solo some year. So I think we are looking at early February, and early December !

So, this trip I think we will upgrade our tickets to AP's, as Feb will be the longer trip. December we will add on the 3 day Dream! Oh Yeah baby

Enjoy your day off with the kiddos!!! yay for APs!

I am a bit over making school lunches I will admit!!

Me too

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! Weather has been a total washout yesterday and today so I am so happy for the space! I've decided I can live without CL in the future, but space is a must. Changed our august trip to 1 br savannah view at kidani with the BB offer. Hoping to change to a 2 br.

I am sure the short stays are the reason we are getting bumped. No celebrations on our ressies.

I will definitely post pics of both suites on the GF and BWI threads that can be used for whatever.

Happy changing ladies

So happy for you!!! We got our AKL and YC suites with short stays too! WDW will never be the same for you Absolutely magical!!!!

Sending Wishes for a great interview next week. Sounds like a great change of pace for you. ... Congrats on the RPC SCORE! HRH must be so pleased.

She is SO happy!

I will have to ask our RC Queen, aka pas if DA can be a subgroup of RC!

Of course!!!! dates, ADR, resort, imaginary, pre-booking. All good!

I think tomorrow is going to be the BEST day so far....meeting one of my VERY favorite members of our RC family.

Give Magic a hug from me

Three cheers for date adders! I added one on Tuesday.
We resort changers find lots of ways to change. Maybe it's not that we're indecisive, we're just expressing our amazing creativity in vacation planning!!

We are simply amazing!

MM, JC, Dani, Pas, GG, Kook, Janet, Shelia, Luv, Magic...who did I miss?

so excited for you! Love your photo filled TRs! Can't wait

Mornin', Heather!

I've got to get DD up now (school's not out yet), but just wanted to thank you for the beautiful photo and wish everyone a happy Friday. I can't go into all the details now, but it looks like today is going to be a total trip revamp day - dates and all!

Check back with you guys later.

Don't forget to update us!!!!!!

My 13 yo princess would hate a bad bed! How the heck do they get so spoiled?

I blame the WDW website... Nah...us OCD mommas

I don't think there will be any changing this trip.

Pas I can't really say I labored because I had a scheduled c-section. It was super easy though.

I am ignoring the 1st comment above

C/Sections are harder than laboring (after of course) so it makes up for it....I almost had a section for #6 after delivering 5...and I had a fit. He was breech...but I had a great Dr. who successfully turned him the right way! HRH wanted out and she got herself out. Water broke 5a (woke me up) at the hospital 630am...delivered shortly after with 1 push...I bumped all those scheduled C/S waiting to register After seeing me contract, bet they were relieved for their sections though

No way .... can't happen! Not visit WDW???

Yeah who does that

Pas, yay for an interview! It would be wonderful if this works and you can work less hours in the ER!

Thanks Sarah..trying not to get my hopes up...butI hope it works out!

Jeanette: Higher pay with better hours? That's a no brainer and I so hope this CHANGE works out for you - more DIS and RC time, too

Me too...me too...I'll be postin from work

Best of luck!!!

Thank you Candace! How's your nephew BTW?

Yay! Jeanette they'd be crazy not to hire you!

That's what my friend told them. When I spoke to the coordinator he said that my friend really talked me up


almost forgotso I've been exploring August options with DH...including Cape May, Cape Cod, Mystic...clearwater...he WANTS to do WDW....woohooo

I had 2 C-Sections. With DD8, I was gung ho on a natural delivery with no interventions, but baby girl had other plans. I went into labor the night before and didn't realize I was in labor (so much for being in tune with my body)...but I wasn't dialating a whole lot...put it this way...after 10 hours of labor (including pitosin), I had only gotten to 2 cm...and DD heartrate would drop dramatically with every contraction...then the kicker... MD went to break my water....well, it had already broken, and I didn't know when (assuming I had a slow leak?) Well, at that point, we decided on a C-section. I'm not a very in tuned preggo I guess.

Because of the prior C-section, DD5 was a scheduled C, and that was super easy!!!

My nephew is doing well! Still nameless though, my sister is a trip. She better figure it out, as she is being d/c from the hospital tomorrow!

 

[hstrickland]

Good morning, Pas! Ya know...how long have I been on the DisBoards and I still have a problem with the multi-quote thing??!!! Good grief!!!

Hope your hubby has a nice b-day! Enjoy your day off!! We're getting ready to hit the pool for a couple of hours, then have to pick up DS10. He's been at camp all week. Can't wait to see him!!


Kook.....UPDATE already! And I'm assuming it's not AoA...just sayin' Do you mind if I say... "Told you so"???

 

[hstrickland]

I don't feel sorry for ya one bit

3 c-sections here! Easy-peasy!! My first was right at 10 pounds...he wouldn't come out...the other 2 were scheduled! I'm all about a schedule!! It's all about being orgainzed with a plan...that's me!

So quick question for my friends over here at RC. Help me out because I am starting to waver on my decision again and I need some opinions. Right now the 6 of us are booked at BWI in a Deluxe Club level room. It sleeps 6 (two queen beds and one pull out sofa). I like that it is within walking distance to Epcot and DHS and that we have the lounge for breakfast and snacks though out the day. I like the pool and the location and I got a pretty good offer on the room. (35% off pin). I don't like that the buses share with Swalphin, BC,YC, and it may be hard for us to get to MK, AK, and the water parks without a lengthily bus ride. I also think the room might be a tad small but in reality only a little bit smaller square footage wise than AOA. (Looks like AOA is about 600sq feet/ BWI is a little over 500 but one bathroom instead of two. Might mean more living room though?)
I keep wondering if I should switch to AOA? I like that AOA is a larger room, two bathrooms, and less money. We have never stayed at a value so that does make me a little nervous. I don't like that there is only one Full size bed (Little small for DH and me). No slide at the pool and the buses make me a little nervous. Although maybe the buses to MK and AK would be better at AOA over BWI? Hubby won't like the "loud" rooms but the kids would probably love it. No roll aways, which BWI did say they could get us a roll away which means I don't need to have my oldest two share a bed which they would like. They would have to share at AOA. So please tell me I made a good decision with BWI and that I shouldn't change. I hate doubting my choice. Thanks!

3 c-sections here! Easy-peasy!! My first was right at 10 pounds...he wouldn't come out...the other 2 were scheduled! I'm all about a schedule!! It's all about being orgainzed with a plan...that's me!

I will second that. 3 C-sections here too. Easy as can be. Last one with twins was a little harder than the first two but that was because it took so much longer! Still not so bad. I would do it again if I didn't have to be pregnant for the 9 months before hand. IMO, it is the 9 months that does you in.

 

[Jungle Cruiser]

Good morning RC family! Just catching up...

So glad pas gave her approval to the subgroup of DA. I love it padawans, being able to change so easily. Nothing like a few extra days in WDW!

Minnie & Nana, I suspect you are meeting Magic today. Have fun! I know there are a lot of us who wish we could be there also.

Okay KOOK, anxiously awaiting your changes Why do I have a feeling you are doing something big?!!!

pas, I have faith that the new job will work out. You went through a tough patch in the spring, time for things to change for the better for you! We don't want our Jeanette tired and stressed. Dare I say, you soaked up a little pixie dust when you were in WDW?

P.S. And I have size 8 feet! Jealous? Don't be, they never have shoes in my size

 

[padawans]

Jenny We were there last Dec it was in the upper 70's and low 80's. The only thing I didin't like was it got dark so early. The decorations are great.


Speaking of labor. I got a call at 4am on Wednesday. "Do you think you think you can work in Post partum" "Uh.... Are you kidding me". " Are you actually going to pay me to do that?" I haven't felt a womens uterus since nursing school, but what the heck. I got to spend 12 hours with newborns. I love that smell.

It sounds like you answered your own question Seems like you have more negatives when talking about AoA. If you're a deluxe person, you might have a difficult time making the switch I can't help ya when it comes to the bus situation...I've never stayed at BWI, but there are plenty of ladies on this thread that have If it were me, I would stay put...can't beat CL

Me too!...I feel your pain...never any good sales!!!


Now...off to the pool for a while. Will catch up with y'all later!

Walla,
Have you stayed in a Deluxe room at BWI before? If you haven't I just wanted to pop in and say they are really nice rooms. They feel quite spacious, and the view of crescent lake is just fabulous. You do only have one bath, but on the other hand, you have the advantage of CL and the lounge. I've never found the bus to be a big issue at BWI. We really like being able to walk to Epcot, and sometimes we walk to the Studios, as well, weather depending. The boats are always there for another choice.

Either way you decide, you're at Disney. That's always a plus!

 

[padawans]

Walla I love BW Inn. As nice as the rooms look at AOA your still going from a DX CL to a value. The transportation is what it is. You will be able to walk to two parks which is nice. We always rent a car and drive to Ak and the rest of the parks. I have never taken a bus from a epcot resort to Mk. Lately we have been doing the Mk/Epcot splits. I'm not much help on the bus situaltion, but I love the resort. The pool has a great slide, and it's always easy to find shady spot.

 

[disneydreamin247]

Hi RCers! Today Danimal wants to go see Madagascar 3 so I'm going to take him. Last night we were snuggling in his bed and discussing our date in Disney. He wants to walk down Main Street holding hands and get our photo taken in front of the castle. Then he wants to eat at Pecos Bills and go on Pirates and take the boat to Tom Sawyer Island. I love this kid!

My nephew is doing well! Still nameless though, my sister is a trip. She better figure it out, as she is being d/c from the hospital tomorrow!

Baby no name...baby doe Well I did L&D for awhile, so I see C/Sections differently. I can't imagine taking care of 5 kiddos and recovering from surgery! Good for all our strong RC mommas!!!

Good morning, Pas! Ya know...how long have I been on the DisBoards and I still have a problem with the multi-quote thing??!!! Good grief!!!

Hope your hubby has a nice b-day! Enjoy your day off!! We're getting ready to hit the pool for a couple of hours, then have to pick up DS10. He's been at camp all week. Can't wait to see him!!


Kook.....UPDATE already! And I'm assuming it's not AoA...just sayin' Do you mind if I say... "Told you so"???

Can't wait for Kook's update...she is probably still on the phone poor thing! Sounds like you have a great day planned too!

Sounds like you're making lots of fun plans. Enjoy!

 

[wallawallakids]

Thank you so much! I feel better about my choice. Don't know why I am always second guessing myself. Maybe because there are sooo many choices!! I am excited about seeing the deluxe rooms. I have never stayed in one before so maybe I will be really surprised by the size when I see it in person.
