they are weird dates... and you wonder why i always go in Sept!!!
I do hope they open it for you.
Yes, I think they are very weird dates and very short dates... I always remember FD being a bit longer than that?
He is amazing!!! one problem with this is it gets the people there during MY vacation which makes it more crowded...
True... You should have been there last spring break... Not only was it spring break, but FD too...
and you talk about me being busy!!!
I just sound busy... LOL
you will be very busy the end of May... ya know in 35 days??? the most epic Dis Meet EVER without being in Disney
Yay!
well you have given me incentive. off to do some editing and shopping.. I have to run to Target at lunch!
Cool - what did ya get?
Ruthie - I'm glad Maxine is OK and I hope your foot and sting are better.
Me too!
D~ Great progress on your auction bag. Hope you can find the time to finish the bag you were going to make for you if you end up not using it. I'm sure someone would love to be able to buy it in an auction and I would hate for one of your ideas to be left incomplete on the sewing table. Good luck with getting all your shopping stuff figured out and I hope that paper arrives this Sunday!!!
Thanks Liz... I hope to get some more progress done this afternoon and tomorrow.
I assume Illuminations is at 10:00 when you are there? If so then 7:30 will probably be too early.
They are actually at 9pm. Do you still think that's too early.
This FD announcement has me wondering....I was hoping for some kind of discount for October but I have a feeling it will not happen. Might have to talk myself into a season pass so I can get a room discount.
Hmmm... That is interesting... I hope you can plan a trip!
Don't even bother if that's why you would be getting one! I ended up getting a better rate for this coming weekend on Travelocity than the FL resident rates or the passholder rates. The discounts just aren't there anymore like they used to be!!
I've never even thought about booking a Disney trip on Travelocity.
D, you have a very busy day. Hope it is productive for you, and that the weather is getting better (we have one more day of 50's and then we are finally supposed to hit the 60's and 70's).
Thanks Kathy... The weather is getting better here too. Thankfully - we are supposed to be in the 70s this weekend. I'd love to get my car cleaned out - I usually don't clean it all winter long, and it's pretty messy and dusty come spring. LOL
Yes, I am on the September facebook page!
I believe that Illuminations starts about 9:00 while we are there. I tried to get a later ADR time, but the latest available was 8:00 so I didn't see any point in changing it. I'm hoping we will still be eating when the show starts.
I think your 8pm time is a bit better than my 7:30 time slot. I may try to get something later.
I am glad that you were able to switch to POFQ! That is probably my favorite resorts, but then I've only ever stayed there or at one of the All-Stars. DH wanted to try something different this year, so we are staying at CBR. With free dining we may upgrade to a preferred room.
Thanks!!! The girls and I are still so thrilled about it. Oooh - I am so happy you will qualify for FD.
You are one BUSY lady! I know I could never keep up your schedule!
I am really not that busy... I just have a lot to do. LOL Although - these next few weeks are going to be murder on me.
I'm so glad you're going back to POFQ! We really loved it there and will definitely return there on our next trip! October 2014 seems so far away for us!
I agree - it is such a unique resort and so relaxing. I love that!
I can't wait to see your auction items! They are always beautiful!
Thanks Ruth!
I am back at work! Two 12 hour days in a row about did me in ,but after a good nights sleep ,I feel almost ready to take on life again. Everyone have a great day! Ruth
Oh wow... I hope it's not too much for you. Please keep us updated... You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
I TOLD you you would be exhausted, it will pass so glad to see you here Maxine is still limping (its only been a few days) & I had an ortho appt this am that ACTUALLY listened to me (NO God complex so rare these days) and so I will begin P/T for the leg on Tues

Foot is great looks horrible but gritted my teeth & am walking on it, bee sting fine just itchy, and for those of you who laughed about this comedy of errors that I call my life I am RIGHT there with you ! Its so ludicrous you can't make this stuff up !
To all who are ailing or on the mend Blessings and prayers to you all
RuthIE
Hi Ruthie... I really enjoyed chatting with you yesterday... Your accent is starting to get easier for me to understand.
Just to make it three in a row...
Yay!!! All three of my Ruths showed up in a row yesterday (except one of them has be be different and call herself RuthIE).
Sorry Maxine is still limping.
I hope she is better soon too.
Here's to a great day having been had today, a good shopping day tomorrow and sanity restored for the weekend. - although, that's probably just me.
I couldn't have said this better myself.
Not only are we busy, but 1/2 of my department is having some sort of crisis so I'm doing things that I don't usually do. I'm exhausted and yet, I will still pick up some hard cider for tonight. It's been that kind of a day.
I hope you had a great night with your Cider and it relaxed you a little bit.
Ah- one more thing. Those FD dates in September are why I've celebrated at least 4 birthdays at WDW. My birthday is Sept 26 & we time our visits to FD, so my birthday is always at Disney! Except this year.
Hopefully they offer FD for you next year.
Here's to a good weekend all around!! May we all heal, sew, spend time with the family, work (me again) and generally enjoy what we have. - Ruth
Thanks Ruth - again - I couldn't have said it better myself.

Just a SUPER Quick fly by this morning...
Yesterday, lunch with Josh's brother's Wife's mom was wonderful... It was so nice to be able to talk to her about them and how the little one (who hasn't arrived yet) is doing... Their lives just sound so wonderful and uncomplicated... I almost had tears in my eyes hearing about how happy they are and all the dreams they are just on the verge of discovering. Such an amazing time in their lives. I was able to give her the quilt and the little outfits for the little guy... It was sad to see them go... I pray that the next time I see that quilt - It's ratty and worn with love... Then he truly will have lots of hugs from MN. Sniff, sniff.
I finished up that bag yesterday, and I was able to applique the wallet. I hope to get it put together this afternoon and post some pictures for you all. This bag was pretty intense with a lot of applique work - I am very excited that it's turned out as good as I hoped and that I am almost done with it. I will then move on to my next auction bag... Pretty excited about this one... I think it's a theme that most will love.
Must get going here... It's Friday - so grocery shopping day. My list this week sucks and I just know it's not going to be a great trip. I did not have the time to do any menu planning at all. And I barely had the time to sort my coupons and put them in the binder. I have a very minimal list. Maybe I can save most of our budget for next week - unless I find some great deals today.
I hope each of you has a wonderful day today and

to all!!!
