[MissMichelle]

thta is what we usually did growing up, 1 day for the parks, then next day off, then next day park, day off, water park day off, you get hte drift...it was great, got to see so much more of disney that people miss.


congrats onthe business room, i wish i had a conference in disney to use that place. oh wait i am staying there this christmas, just not a business room.

You are staying CSR?? I didn't know that! (or did I and I am having a brain fart???)_ Have you stayed there before? If not I think you'll love it. I fell in love in 2006 and keep going back for more...SO tranquil and just takes you away from the parks after a long day

 

[MissMichelle]

I'm so jealous you're going back so soon! The new rooms sound pretty awesome!

I can't wait. I can't believe we are actually going back that soon either. I will get to go twice next year---and that'll make 3 times within a year. That'll be a record for me! lol

 

[MissMichelle]

So, I found some recent pics on a cd I have from my other computer. More to come but for now...This was for Melissa's birthday. We stayed at a hotel near Foxwoods Casino in CT and it was a blast.

I just found your tr, can't wait to finish reading it. I live near foxwoods too, we were just there in July.

I live in MA but it is about 1.5. hrs MAX to get to Foxwoods...I go down a few times a year and usually spend the night. I have only been to Mohegan once, but I should try and get down there soon.

 

[MissMichelle]

Wow you got it all figured out already. Plan for me!
Did you get a good price on flights? I looked and I am so shock at the ticket prices. Jet blue so far is the cheapest, but we would have to drive to Jersey. I like leaving first thing in the morning and coming home late at night. I dont want to drive in Jan. that is for sure.

I love jetblue--I ONLY fly jetblue...Once I find a good thing (like Jetblue and CSR) I stick with it.
I got $104 1 way and $94 onthe way home. Last trip I got $79 and $89....so not TOO far off, still good rates

 

[MissMichelle]

Just found your tr and I'm all caught up. Congrats on the engagement! You and Melissa both have beautiful families. Looking forward to more!

Thanks! I am going to try and get day 3 going right now...some craziness happens by day 4 so I want to get moving.

 

[MissMichelle]

So an other update for my January trip (I know, I know...keep on with THIS trip first!!)

I was at work talking to another manager Tino and he is actually taking time off to go to WDW with 11 other people (Mom, Dad,GF, friends) IN January...SO I had my laptop at work last night *I have ~M~'s pics now!!!* and we went online and....








BOOKED him and his GF on the same flight I'll be on going down!! They are staying 10 days but I think it'll be cool that they'll be at the airport and on the plane with us---AND if they stay @ Pop like planned we'll be on the same DME (at least from the last 4 trips it has been AKL, Pop and CSR on the same bus). So that is some new news

OK...going to attempt to upload more on our 2500 photos...OUCH! Ive only gotten 450 on Shutterfly so far.

That's so cool about your manager flying down with you! I'm sure your work days will be filled with planning Disney now. If they weren't already!

Oh they are!! Lol...I have another co-worker who works in our cash office who is going down in November and I have been helping her plan, I have a girl who wors our service desk who wants me to plan her first trip with her young girls, and back in May another manager went and I helped her plan every second of her trip. It has become such a huge thing for me at work. I love it. Now, the Anti-Disney coworkers ar becoming the minority

yep we are, originally i had us booked at POP, but then i signed up for AAA and got a 20% discount at the moderates, so i booked CSR because it was not that much more and that way we have a fridge, i figured it would not be that crowded becase it is more of a business hotel...and i have never seen long lines waiting for buses for that resort...plus i really wanted to stay there, partly from seeing some of your pics when you stayed there.

 

[mistydoodles]

That sounds really nice about being on the same airplane.

I will be staying at CSR this November for the first time. I really can't wait to see your photos.

YAY!! I am assuming you have stopped by the Coronado Springs FAQ threads??? Buzz is amazing and his web page shows the beauty of CSR. He got me hooked in the first place

Awesome deal on the mods. That is how I booked my last trip---20% through AAA. I could have booked this way but sadly AAA was a headache for me Im almost debating calling to see what prices I can get with them.

I bet you'll LOVE it. If not then I'd be shocked...there are a few on the boards that bad mouth CSR but they are the minority and they usually make it out to be a LOT worse in terms of size and the conventioneers then it really is.

 

[MissMichelle]

OK so now that I got Melissa's pics and I have uploaded a handful to shutterfly I'll start by posting the pics of my Proposal.....

Please excuse the crazy face and double chin! lol

At this point I realize everyone is clapping and cheering and I start tearing up after this photo

The nice plate they brought out

And finally a pic of us with our champagne....

I think there are more photos ploating around (Enrique took some too) but I don't have them.

 

[MissMichelle]

ok, at the moment I am uploading some of Melissa's pics from the first few days which I will post here---they'll go along with what I've written so far. From there on out I will post them all at once.

I fixed it before I saw your post...I don't know how I did that--but whatever

There are 3 CSR FAQ threads...the newest is the only one you really need to read....I love it...There is also a CSR photo thread--that is JUST photos (and some random chatter) of CSR....here's the link:

Congratulations on your "official" engagement! You were engaged on my DD's 10th birthday.

 

[cherbear]

great update! I like the picture of you and TC after the engagement

 

[FreFam5]

Congrats on your engagement. I'll be flying JetBlue out of Logan to Disney next Month (I LOVE that I can now say we are going next month!!!! LOL)

Your trip sounds like a ton of fun - I'm enjoying reading your report.

We are doing the boat to the airport -I think. We keep changing our minds from Logan Express Bus to boat to limo to driving to Logan ourself back to bus............... But I think we've settled on the boat - for now!!! LOL

 

[kaysmommie]

Congratulations! What a sweet way to propose.
