DDA Chapter 18

[eyor44]

Welcome Lisa! You'll find a great group of people here!

Welcome to our little corner of the DIS World! You will have to tell us a little bit about yourself!

I am Elin... 57 years old and married to Bob for 35+ years. We have 2 grown DDs. I am a music (piano and composition) teacher. I have been to WDW about 65 times in the past 29 years.

Hi Lisa, Welcome!!!

thank you for the warm welcome. I met MrsHeg at a DisMeet a week ago and she invited me to this thread. I don't get on but a couple times a week right now, but love the Disboards. I'm married with 3 kids and don't get to Disney quite as often as I would like. I am planning to rearrange my priorities though.

What a quandary. The Night of Joy will be September 11 & 12 this year. We could come for that and then we would leave on the 17th. That however, would really make me sad, as the 18th is my birthday. And if we are going to stay until the 17th, we might as well stay one more day. However C would run out of points. So I could use mine, no problem.

Exxcept we are staying in a 2BR at SSR for a week, and I would have enough points for a studio at OKW. So... do we do OKW at the beginning of our trip or the end? I'm thinking the begining, as we will be at where ever the NOJ is held until 1:00am both nights. Studio will be fine.

Next, we will need a car. We will be doing a lot of resort-resort travel this trip. We want to finally see the Boardwalk. Finally see Jellyrolls. Check out Beaches and Cream.

And lastly, airfare. I love SW. However AirTran opened a flight out of Harrisburg, which would save on time and has cheap parking. But the return from MCO is at 8:00 AM!!! Boooooooooooo. That ruins the last day. Plus Airtran charges for checked bags, any changes, window seats.

We need to come home on Saturday, as C needs at least one entire day of recovery before she returns to work. And actually, I really liked it when I had a day to decompress. The worst time ever was when I had to come to work the day after I got back from vacation. That super stunk.

So there is my dilemma. Our quick 7 day trip is going to turn into a 9 day trip. It is going to be stinking hot. I'm going to have to rent a car. It is going to be smack dab in the middle of free dining, so we will have to figure out where we want to eat by end of June. Did I mention it was going to be stinking hot??? And hurricane season!!!

Off to bed. That's all for now.

No I didn't know that, thanks Janet.

Did you all know that the Disney website now has most of the menus online for their restaurants?

 

[Tammi67]

Good luck, Stephanie! This is the best way I can sum it up: WDW, or no WDW.

Hi, Lisa! Welcome!

 

[Pooh67_68]

Actually I am feeling better, thanks.

Hope you are feeling better soon, you have a trip coming up!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Thank you both.

I am glad you had a good time, but wish John had more fun at his party.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Elizabeth hope DS feels better soon.

I think DH needs a smack for waking you up so dang early.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Both of you feel better soon.

I have a temp and am feeling really bad. My back is really hurting and I have already gotten sick. This sucks. Hal is sick too but not as bad as me.
I need to get better so we can go down to WV this coming weekend.

Anyone else that is sick---get better!!!!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

I can't really go into it right now, but the economy has hit my household too. I'm so upset right now it's all I can do to keep from breaking down.

I have to tell myself that "This too shall pass", the question is when?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Hope you can get your 1st choice.

Hi all! We played "House Hunters" this weekend in NC. Found 3 that we could see ourselves in. Made an offer on house #1, hoping to hear about that mid week. If that doesn't work out we will make an offer on our 2nd choice. It was 70 degrees out & we dined al fresco yesterday which was wonderful.

We have been gone since Friday so I have some catching up to do...Hope all is well with everyone.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Hope you all can go Jen.

Guess who is on the phone with Disney?! My mom, brothers girlfriend and i may be making a 4 night trip next month so I'm checking prices!

 

[Tammi67]

Heidi, you are up early today.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Yes - John took his car in to be detailed and since he starts work at seven, he need to be there a 5:30
I think though that the bed is calling to me, and I just might lay back down for a bit.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Stephanie I have faith that you can make the trip in Sept. work.

My DD's class had to put 100 things on a hat and wear it. One of my friends put 100 of his Disney pins on a hat for his son. It was a very TALL hat.

I bet that hat was a little heavy lol
