I was reading that too. I just hope that Gay Days doesn't make it too bad for crowds! I haven't really been able to find just how busy it gets. Like compared to last year.

Yikes, well looks like the following weekend isn't much better. Well we will probably just tough through it. With there being Fast Passes on most of the rides we will want to do, it shouldn't be too bad. I hope....

No and chances are if you spend time over in DCA it won't be as busy. And you can also hang out in DTD so that helps. Just don't stress over the crowds and go with the flow and you should be okay.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Yeah with 5 days, it should be ok. And it will be our first time in DCA or DTD, so I don't think there should be a problem in wanting to hang in those places if the crowds get too much. We are kind of used to them, as our fair that comes to Calgary every summer (The Stampede), attracts people from all over the world and can get VERY busy, so we have been kind of trained for crowds I guess you could say! haha.

We did October the first year they did Halloweentime purely by accident. It was the kid's sweet 16 gift but we had to wait for fall break. lol

I just LOVE Halloween so I really enjoy seeing all the decorations and villains and characters in costume and all the yummy pumpkin goodies and the carved pumpkins and the NBC overlay. Inhale... deep breath. lol I've had caffeine today. Can you tell?

Although, even with a kickin' deal on the DI&S for the weekend of the 15th, the numbers are still pretty high. Maybe I can get the kid to chip in or even buy her own DAP so it'll cut down on the cost to go next spring break. Then again, maybe prices on flights will drop some more and I'll be able to get a better deal. Good thing I can't book anything yet although I did already reserve a room... just in case.

Oh yea, Hey Jazz, DI&S has deluxe rooms for $69 the weekend of the 10/15 and is close which would be good for your dad if you don't want to fork out the cash for on site.

Just came across this thread a little while ago. Just thought I would share it, as its a very interesting story!!

I'm not feeling to well today gals so I may not be on for much chatting. My head is killing me, but I've got a few things to take care of online anyway. And I did say our 250 goal would be my incentive to checking in every day!

I just wanted to give to everyone.

And Denise -- it would be so awesome to see you again!

My head hurts too much to think about possible dates in October right now. The trouble is that it will be hard to convince my dad to go if I'll be missing any school. But I was hoping for a strictly Mon/Wed. schedule next semester which would mean we could drive later Wed. afternoon and have until Sunday. It sucks that my college doesn't have any days off in October. Somehow I'll talk him into missing 1 day, at the most 2. It would only be 1 class, right? I mean, everyone is OK with my sister missing class to fly out to Colorado in a couple of weeks.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Sorry you aren't feeling well. Get better soon! And I am sure you will find the right dates.

 

[kaoden39]

Jazz get better soon girl.

 

[wvnative]

Ah man! Headaches suck!!! I hope it goes away soon.

I completely understand about classes. It's my major concern with our trip and one of two reason I can't book anything yet. We won't even have our schedules until sometime in August most likely and won't have the money saved until mid September. That's why I opted for a Fri to Sun kinda deal. I won't even have to take time off from work that way. We can fly out right after work and catch the latest possible flight home on Sunday. If I can get her to pack light, we could even just do carry ons. It's not like we should need a lot for that short a trip. haha

Hopefully our class schedules allow it. Hopefully yours will too. lol I would so love to hang out with you again sans the annoying travel companions. You'll like the kid. She understands the Disney magic and tours well.

 

[kaoden39]

That sounds fun, and you need a break from school too.

Morning ladies.

Thanks for the kind words the other night...what a horrible day. I got a call from my daughter's teacher, who wanted to have a meeting the next day (yesterday) about a situation between my daughter and another girl in her class. My daughter is in the 4th grade, and she has not gotten along with this kid since kindergarten. This kid says the MEANEST things to my daughter and they've continued to be frenemies all of these years, until this year...I've had enough...so I told my daughter that we're done....don't LOOK at Cameron, don't SPEAK to Cameron, nothing. So, the ****e hit the fan at school the other day and my daughter finally stood up to this girl and naturally, this little brat went to the teacher and tattled on MY kid, who got in trouble.

So, my husband and I got to go sit down with the teacher and basically stand up for my daughter and explain that dude, seriously? If you're going to have this conversation with us, about our child, you damn well better be having the same conversation with Cameron's parents as well. And I'm sick and bobdamned tired of trying to reinforce the no touch no talk no eye contact rule with my child with regard to Cameron, meanwhile, Cameron just does as she pleases and works her hardest to bait my kid. Blah. I didn't think it was possible to despise a child this way, but I assure you, it is.

In the midst of the Cameron drama, my kid left her cello laying on the classroom floor out of the case and it was tripped over and broken. STABBY.

Then I got an email from a friend, telling me that a mutual friend / ex coworker had just passed away from cancer.

Then my puppy and I got in our first real fight. We've since made up.


Ok sorry to threadjack. Jazz that's totally great that you and your dad might get to take a trip in October!

Oh, and guess what I ordered that will be here on Tuesday? Go on, guess!
