Bouncing on Bounce Backs (Update Pg 20 post 299)

[lovethattink]

Wow, you are so lucky! 2 more trips...I need to go over and find your TR...I had no idea you had one going!

Love to have you there too! It's been ongoing since our March stay at CSR, including day trips and meals at WDW. I need to take the time an update the table of content links.

Dh tried to get vacation during the time that blessedmom and mommy2mrb are at WDW, but that didn't work. He was given 2 other days off instead, but not during their times. He knew I was disappointed. He said go ahead and book during those weekends. So I did!

I'm glad you are going to be there for Judy's trip.

We'll be there the 18th for sure, for a few hours. Those nights I booked were both before and after her trip.

Would someone please explain to me how the photopass CD pre-purchase whole process works and the timing of the pics taken and the timing for editing them, etc? I am so enjoying the pictures that jensieb, disneydreams, singledad, etc have posted on their TRs. We have paid $40 in the last month for pics we bought at the photo kiosks at Disney. It seems it would be worth it, even if we can't find a photoshare.

After reading this post http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=42158224&postcount=2033 I am actually getting excited for staying at POFQ. I sure hope they keep the campfire and movies past summer!! That will add to the fun!

All ADRs are made for all 5 upcoming stays.

In addition to eating at Disney, we are going to hop over to City Walk and try restaurants there. Laurabearz introduced us to Margaritaville a couple years ago and we would like to head back there. Grumpy loves the movie Forest Gump and would like to try Bubba Gumps. Goofy loves Italian and would like to try Pastamore.

We have never made our way over to Celebration, so that is on the agenda too. We discovered there is a Kilwin's Icecream there!! We love their homemade cones in St. Augustine and hope being a chain it will be the same at Celebration!

It's also been a very long time since we ate at The Columbia Restaurant, another one of my favorites from St. Augustine. If I can talk the rest of my family into it, I'd like to eat here too. But Grumpy and Goofy had a bad experience the last time we ate there in St. Augustine. I haven't been able to convince them to go back since.

We ate at the Cheesecake Factory last week. I'd like to go back and eat there again if we can make our way to the Millenial Mall.

There is a car show at Celebration during one of our stays and I think that might be a great excuse to head over there and check out the town for our first time.

Starting to freak! GAH!! Just found out that DH is being transferred and his weekends will be opposite weekends off. Which means he will be scheduled to work all of those long weekends we had booked.

I know!!! It's not etched in stone yet. So I am in limboland until we get the official word. We are 2 weeks from check in at CSR. We decided no matter what, we will keep this resie, but may need to cancel all the others.

 

[momabaarjo]

Atleast you will get to keep one of your trips!

 

[lovethattink]

Yes, we keep CSR!!! Our favorite!!

Dh talked to his boss a few minutes ago. He agreed to the transfer. We won't know specifics until Monday or Tuesday, but he did agree to give DH off Sat and Sunday of our CSR trip!!!!! So he will only have to work Friday (until 10pm though) and Monday (day shift)!! That give us 2 full days with him to play!!

Once we get a schedule set in stone, I will have to make the phone call to change or cancel the other stays. Do you know if they can make changes of resort and date on a resie? Or will we have to cancel each and start from scratch?

I hate to cancel because twice, in the past, the deposit refund never showed up on our credit card statement. So glad the cancellation policy on room only is 5 days out. That gives me alot of time.

 

[momabaarjo]

Sorry, no help about cancellations! Hoping that everything works out with both job change and WDW trips! You are getting so close to your August trip!

Sent you a private message!

 

[lovethattink]

Read and responded to the PM. We are leaning towards heading to Universal tonight. Would you like from there too?

 

[blessedmom4]

SO SORRY I am late, I am so far behind on everythihng...but I KNOW you get it! I am happy we could talk earlier this week before EVERYTHING went

Maybe you can switch things to the weekend we are all there! That might be God's plan!!!!

Keep us posted...and for the turmoil!

Praying Anakin is well, say hi to the family for me! I am SUPPOSED to be getting ready for a Birthday party...I better run! Our fridge is supposed to come at three !!!! FINALLY!!!!!

Thanks for the anniversary wishes!!! Love the graphics!

Of course, I understand and "get it".

That is the first thing dh and I said to each other, now maybe we can go on your weekend. It would be even more awesome if POFQ was available then and could be near Lisa! So the 18th will probably not be his day off that week either.

Anakin heard us talking this morning and there were tears about the changes. I assured him we will get to CSR, but the others will have to be rescheduled. Glad we didn't start countdown calendars for them!!

 

[lovethattink]

I checked out rates for other weekends. Waiting to find out his schedule next week is going to be tough. If rooms are still available in a couple days at the rates I saw today, we can save $83.50 switching dates for POFQ!! We can save $16 doing the same at ASMo! If I change one of the Pop stays to CSR, we are out $202.50. But if I totally cancel the other Pop stay, we end up saving $50.50 overall. So this is definately doable!!

Funny how things work out! Happy thoughts for the schedule...

Thanks!

I got too antsy and couldn't wait until Monday. Went on the assumption he will work the same hours as the person he is replacing. So I went forward and booked those rooms before they slipped away.
