Elizabeth- "It's something to think about" Of course, it depends on a lot of "other" factors.

YAY!!!!

I was able to get a concierge studio for 2 more nights!! Now we will be checking into our concierge studio on my birthday! Yippee!

And modifying our remaining 4 nights down to standard view would have screwed up our points so I just left them alone.

Now we have a savannah studio Aug. 1-5, and a concierge Aug. 5-15. Great! Now IPO will have to do 10 nights of ADRs for me! I will only have to do 2 nights of ADRs, because the other 2 nights we will eat at US/IOA. I have no clue what we will eat over there. Maybe just CS.

woo hoo!!

I keep putting of my cleaning.
But the laundry is done and I just swept and that was a lot as I do along the base boards and move furniture too.
Ah well enough stalling off to clean the bathrooms.

Sorry so many are still under the weather,

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?

I am so sorry! I hope that a new door opens for you soon.

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.

that you get the house that you want!

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

That sounds fun!

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.

Hello! I also am married with 3 kids (I'm guessing much older than yours), and I definitely don't get to Disney as often as I would like. I have my priorities straight, but dh has other ideas.

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.

That it all works out for you! One year we had to leave WDW early in the morning on my birthday. Then as we were flying into our airport, we noticed that the ground was totally white. 3" snow in mid-May!

We all loved KK II, can't wait for KK III to come out. Anyone know when that might be?

I sounds like a lot to deal with, but I say go for it. I would love to be a WDW for my birthday, but that is not in the cards. I think I would try to do SW if you can, no baggage fees and potentally better return flight times. Rental Cars are so worth it. We love not having to rely on Disney transportation. I used to be a nay sayer, but after having a rental once I'm sold.

I forgot that we have KK II around here, and I haven't read it yet. Maybe I should read KK again first. I think that KK III was supposed to be out in August, but I'm not positive about that.

I would love to be at WDW for my 45th this year, but that is not going to happen. Dh is still saying not for at least 6 years, and now he is saying that we probably won't be able to afford it then either.

YAY!!!!

Elizabeth congrats on getting what you wanted.

 

[bethbuchall]

Heidi, your trip is getting so close!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Thanks! I am quite pleased with the way the trip is coming together!

I have managed to do 2 loads of laundry since I am just sitting here with DS. DH is on his way home, so once he gets here I will go back to work.

Heidi - 10 days! YAY!!

I think I'm going to save this. I've been "wrong" an awful lot lately.

I guess Miles will get it as an end-of-summer gift.

And I am responding to my own post... wasn't "Disney After Dark" already published???

I didn't even catch that the first time...I was too happy that I was correct. I thought the first one was Disney After Dark. Hmmm...

Wikipedia (I know don't believe everything you read there) has Kingdom Keepers 3 listed as Wrath of Chernabog with an anticipated publication date of August 2009.

Book I is subtitled "Disney After Dark" too... but I am still looking.

 

[PNO4TE]

OK... it appears the KK I was subtitled Disney After Dark only in paperback versions. The Hardcover is simply called The Kingdom Keepers. It seems that the August 35, 2009 release date is correct for the paperback version.

However... The library binding of KK III was supposed to come out on January 19, 2009 and it has yet to be released.

And all of this leads me to believe that the book has not yet been completed.

That's too bad. I know that KK II was originally supposed to be released quite a bit earlier than it was. I guess we'll just have to keep watching.
