I guess I could also check the prices to park at LaGuardia, but my dad refuses to leave his car there for a week. He thinks someone will scratch it when they open their door or steal it

What about staying at the Marriott LaGuardia and leaving the car? They have special packages... (our friend used to be the GM there)....

 

[Native NYer]

Your view is amazing!!!!! It's gorgeous. Are you posting any pics of the inside?

I will as soon as I take pics of the inside

I'll do that tonight and tomorrow morning.

I never thought of that. We have a 9:15 flight so we'll have to get there super early. That may be a thought.

Disney mail means the trip is closer! I cannot believe it's only a month away. I remember planning this in December!

When she returns, she returns with a furor!!

I love your view. Can't wait to see the inside.

What books did you get? I want to know! When will you have time to read them?

Where's my Disney Mail? I want all that cool stuff. I think it's because I switched my reservation to AAA in a futile attempt to save money 15 days ago and my travel agent is on vacation through this week. Maybe when she returns she'll have a surprise for me.

I am so glad you're back!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Beautiful view!!!

What books did you get today? I want to know!!!

Yeay for Disney mail and your Disney gift from a student! Too cool!

ok forget going to brunch here, I will come there and we will have Lapu Lapu's looking at that view.

Love the clock you got. so cute.

I use the 7 7's for a car.

Supershuttle never use. it took us 3 hours almost to get home when we used them .

Then Biff's son used it and they got inot a car accident in it.

Thanks! It's so nice waking up and seeing sailboats instead of buildings!

I'm going to update on the books in a little bit.

How did the reservation switch go? I hope you get your Disney mail soon!!!

Thanks I'm happy I'm back. I've missed the Lapu Lapus and Dole Whips!

Beautiful view!!!

Posting the books in a little bit. I got a book for my nephew too. Hopefully that will continue to get him excited about the trip.

That sounds good! I can blend up some margaritas and use my pineapple corer for Lapu Lapus!

I'm going to call the 7 7's and get a price from them.

Ok now Supershuttle sounds superscary! I will NEVER use them!

Can't wait!!!

Yesterday, I visited Barnes and Noble while I was running errands at Bay Terrace Shopping Center. I figured would just look at the travel books, see if there was anything new. I had no intentions of buying. Really I didn't . But I found three books that I didn't have and felt the need to indulge a little. I do have a Barnes and Noble discount card after all. Here are my purchases:

I have the old edition of the Complete Disney book, but wanted the new one. The Complete Walt Disney World 2008 is great because it's filled with color photos! I'm a kindergarten teacher and LOVE picture books

And because I'm a New Yorker, I had to get Zagats! My friends and I always check Zagats when we're trying a new restaurant in NYC, so why not check it for Disney restaurants and shopping? I love the compact size.

I got this book to read with my nephew. Since this will be his third trip, he can help with the planning. I know there are certain attractions. he does not want to miss!

And I found these last night in my pile of Disney stuff:

I can't wait to get new ones next month!!!!

Here are some photos of my new apartment. I'm still trying to pick out window treatments and artwork. No curtains or pictures yet.

Kitchen - Dishes I don't use (take out comes in it's own dish!)

Sink- I've used that.

Have not used this. Well, just the microwave.

Dining Room

Desk and boxes of DVDs. I can't wait for the cabinet I ordered for the DVDs to be delivered.

Living Room

Entertainment

Stairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms

Lots of books! Yes, I have Tommy Lee's biography next to Kozol's Shame of a Nation Check out the Disney books behind the Lucy license plate.

This morning's view

 

[scottny]

the new place looks great.

 

[Native NYer]

the new place looks great.

Thanks Scott!!! Now I need to have a Lapu Lapu party here

 

[KatGarcia]

The new place looks awesome! I so need to move, need any neighbors?

 

[swwake]

I love the new place. So light and airy and HUGE!

I have Complete Guide '08 and Zagats. That's how I determined my ADR restaurants. Love them both.

Thanks! Definitely move to Bayside! I can give you a tour of the bars and restaurants (I don't cook ). It's a great neighborhood!.

Thanks!!!

They're both great. I found some others I may order from Amazon, including one more for T.

Do you have the Hidden Mickeys book? Jackie sent me a copy and I plan on hunting for them next month.

 

[swwake]

I am 30 days and you are 4 weeks and 2 days.

I don't have hidden mickeys. That would be carrying my obsession completely over the edge.

Did you see my Vegas trip report? I found a hidden mickey in the middle of Lake Mead on the heli ride. I don't need no stinkin' books!

I have to finish reading your Vegas trip report. I started.

I want to do a little Hidden Mickey hunt at the Polynesian with T during one of our afternoon breaks. I already know he's not going to nap in the room (he passes out in his stroller while we wander through gift shops), so I'll need to entertain him while my dad naps!

And I don't get how these tickers work. I rather say 30 days then 4 weeks 2 days. I wonder what a ticker from TickerFactory would say I need to find one that counts down the seconds.

What time does your flight get into MCO on the 9th? Ours is suppose to land at noon.
