DDA Chapter 3

[tinknme]

Oh I agree!

I think it will be fun! It is sad to meet everyone as your trip ends (that happened to us last summer) but meeting other DDAers is always a highlight for us!

 

[mommykds]

Oh I agree!

I am going to miss all you guys!!!!!!!

I am back... with pizza and wine. I think I told you all that I got this terrific gift from my brother and SIL for Christmas. It is a professional wine cooler. Well, I opened it on Christmas Day and it would not work.

Williams-Sonoma took it back, even had UPS come pick it up, and backordered one for me. It arrived today. It chilled my white zinfandel in about 20 minutes.

When it reaches the preset temperature the blue screen beeps and displays: CHEERS!

We all really enjoyed the breakfast at Tony's. I know Kristine said her family did not care for it as much though. Riley had so much fun dancing with Pluto! I would do this again.

There's the breakfast at Tony's, the IllumiNations dinner, and I think a few others.

Guess I need to figure out if it would be worth it. It's not like I won't be going back lol

Each DDE card at the table is good for up to 10 people, so even with just 2 cards we're covered.
Someone pointed out earlier that the break-even on DDE is $350, so if you think you will soend more than that on TS over the course of the next year then it is worth it.

Yuck, no more driving to Disney for us!

I'm on the phone now chatting with Bob and we are discussing the possibility of him coming in Aug. We are even talking about driving! ACK!

I like the Wishes cruise or the Illuminations Dinner.

I always THOUGHT I wanted to do the IllumiNations dinner, but DH pointed out that if the wind is blowing towards the viewing area everybody gets a face full of smoke/ash/debris. So maybe the Wishes cruise? What night would you want to do it?

So DH wasn't happy when I mentioned it but saw it as an opportunity to make me get rid of some of the ones we have. I was reluctant to bring the Graco Duo Glider to the dump but he says he will look into seeing if a woman's shelter will take it. I can't take it to the consignment because one of the strap clips is broken but it still has lots of good life left in it. I should take the Peg Perego Pliko to the consignment shop as that is in good shape and even though it has a running board we didn't take it to WDW last year as Lizzy & Joe are too heavy to ride on it when Emma is sitting in it and they would fight over it. I did really like that stroller! I don't think the consignment shop would take the "old" Daytripper Maclaren as it is 5 1/2 years old and has evidence of Mickey bars on it.

I used to LOVE those Graco Duo strollers! I had them for 2 different jobs. Brother & Sister had a Combi side-by-side that I HATED. Princess has a Maclaren but I use a little Graco for her so I don't have to worry about taking it out of my car at the end of the day. BabyTrend makes a really nice stroller with a 5 point harness and a higher weight limit than a lot of the strollers, but it might be too small for Emma.

Oh my, thanks for the laugh

Glad to be of service!

It's 822 miles from here. So we could do like Robyn did....drive for 8-10 hours, sleep and be fresh for our first day at the park.

Robyn - do you have any idea about how much you paid for gas? What hotel did you stay at and in what city? Was the cost reasonable? I'm preparing my Color Coded Matrix of Costs.

Cost be damned! It's DISNEY!

Can you say 'shrinkage'?

I thought the ice went in your bra. Are the boys supposed to put the ice in their panties?

When we drove last (2003) it took us 17 hours to get there & 20 to come home...

Love that guy.

So now he says he would like to bring his DD. We would need a 2 br, as the studios and 1 br only sleep 4. I can't afford the pts. for a 2 br, so he might be renting his own points. I'm trying to talk him into him buying into DVC because if the 5 of us will be traveling we will definitely need them.

Anne Marie - how come the reg. rooms at BC sleep 5 but the villas don't? Any idea?

I don't know that one Tammi. I just can't grasp DVC for some reason.
Yea, he should buy in since you have pulled him over to our side now!

I was reading today that there are 1-bedrooms at AKL that sleep 5.

 

[Tammi67]

I am going to miss all you guys!!!!!!!

I'm sorry. I really would like to see you again, and meet your family!

 

[tinknme]

I know & that makes me sad as well But there is always next year

I am going to miss all you guys!!!!!!!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am going to miss all you guys!!!!!!!

I think the obvious solution is for you to fly down ahead of time and then Dana can drive down with the kids!

The logistics are making my head hurt! And it's not even my trip!

Oh, is there some sort of game this weekend.

hahahaha i have no idea!

Beth - I can't believe how grown up you kids are. Matthew is quite a handsome young man and Laura is beautiful. Her dress is very pretty.

Ditto ---they are so grown up!

Deb congrats to Nick

Congrats Nick!

I did it!!! I just booked 4 nights at the Beach Club, Aug. 11-15!!!!

Wooohhoooooo

Robyn, those pics are awesome!
The stepsisters are SOOO funny! I am hoping to hear more good reviews of 1900 PF dinner. Not sure where I would fit that in, but I bet I could manage if I thought it was worthwhile!

I love the pictures--my favorite is lucy and the prince!

I think he's adorable, and I'm not prejudiced in the least! You and Chris are going to have your hands full one both Nick and Hunter begin attracting females! Add Colby to the mix, and you are going to be in some serious trouble!!

very true!

Robyn the pics are just awesome....what three cuties you have!!

With Cassidy's schedule this summer...it looks like we will be in your area around the middle of July...you have any plans??

oo where..when?

Here I am asking for prayers and pixie dust. My 17 year old niece found out several months ago that she is pregnant. She knows that she can't make a marriage work at this age, and she really doesn't want to try. She and Brandon made the decision to place the baby up for adoption, but his parents are trying to talk them out of it. They do not want to help raise the baby, they want the kids to get married, and raise the baby on their own. Could you please pray that they will stay out of this until the baby is placed? Thanks.

prayers said that everything works out okay

Grandma's Boyfriend- This is pretty funny. I hope no one is offended.

A five year old boy went to visit his grandmother one day.
Playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting, he looked up and said, "Grandma, how come you don't have a boyfriend now that Grandpa went to heaven?"

Grandma replied, "Honey my TV is my boyfriend. I can sit in my bedroom and watch it all day long. The religious programs make me feel good and the comedies make me laugh. I'm happy with my TV as my boyfriend."

Grandma turned on the TV, and the reception was terrible. She started adjusting the knobs, trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated she started hitting the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.

The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door and there stood Grandma's minister.

The minister said, "Hello son, is your Grandma home?"

The little boy replied, "Yeah, she's in the bedroom bangin' her boyfriend."

The minister fainted.

love it!

Chanon - MUCH better!:

agree!

Kathrin got BOTH jobs!

However (and it is a BIG however, to me!)... they are $10,000 apart in salary offers! Of course, the one she wants more is the one offering less money. She countered and they will get back to her on Monday. But, it is definite that she will be headed to Boston now.

yay!

Beats me. I have no schedule yet!


Yes, unless they have a bra.

Yep, that's what we had in December. Me and the kids in the king, Bob and Bethany on the 2 pull-outs in the living room. It was perfect.

 

[tinknme]

Around here boys don''t wear panties, they wear briefs


Oh my I am laughing so hard
