Anyone know if they sell a Disney golf bag? It is defnitely time for a new one.

Yes, I've seen them in the proshops at the Disney courses. I don't recall the price, but I do know they had to use smelling salts to revive me up after seeing it.
 
Just got word that my brother was taken to the hospital. He is fighting cancer and treatments haven't worked. Probably entering renal failure and only has a few days left. Waiting for an update before I leave for Tampa.

Sorry CJ. Prayers for your brother, you and your family.
 
I hate to go back ON topic, but here goes...

I'm running into a dilemma.

For years, my family and I have vacationed with my wife's parents and sister's, etc... in Daytona Beach for Spring Break.

This year we broke from that tradition, somewhat controversially, to spend a week at WDW (37 Days!)

My original intention was to go back to Daytona next year as we always have. However, since the birth of the convention in January, I investigated different ticket options and looked at the cost of AP's vs. buying park tickets for this years trip and the convention. During this investigation, I can to realize that next Spring Break is actually a week BEFORE this year's.

This would mean, that if we upgraded to AP's this year, we would be able to use them for this year's trip, the convention, and next year's spring break.

I broke down the numbers and realized we would be saving like $700 if we went the AP route vs. buying park tickets. I'm pretty sure I've got my DW on board with my new plan for spending next year at WDW. But I'm running into some animosity from my in-laws and somewhat from my DW about "missing out" on vacationing with her parents/family.

So this would be two years in a row that we won't be with her parents/family for vacation.

I've offered her family the option of renting a house next spring and having them all in Orlando instead of Daytona. But, my in-laws are older and can't do all the walking that a full week at WDW would provide. Plus, I have a feeling they don't quite want to give up that beach vacation.

Any ideas?!?

You can buy your AP's and give them to your nemesis...

We wll be praying for you and your family CJ!!:grouphug:
 
This will sound incredibly selfish, so hear me out. Your family - you, DW, children - is priority. It has taken me 12 years of marriage to convince DW of this and she is finally on board. After we married, we visited my parents and an aunt (seperate trips) a month before or after a holiday, when convenient for us. She thought it was horrible I didn't see them more. But, we spent the holidays at her divorced parents' different locations, driving to one house Christmas Eve and the other Christmas Day - always trying to just find time for us. One holiday, we went to her dad's sister's' house, and her dad didn't even show up. She was devastated, but it still took several years more. So, do what is best for your family first. If you can add in the extra time with parents, siblings, inlaws, etc then great. But, in my opinion, DW and my dds always come first. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I can't believe I am about to say this...

But...







I agree with Norm.


:eek:

So my next two Disney trips are officially booked. :) Will be in Florida for a convention in Ft. Lauderdale in late April, heading up to WDW for a few days following that, staying at OKW. And the entire family will be heading down for a week during the blistering month of July. The boys will be treated to a concert in Orlando - The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, and we're thinking of doing Hoop-Dee-Doo as a family, but not the parks. Should be a nice, relaxing week. We'll be at AKV over in Kidani, with a Savannah view. :cool1: I'm so looking forward to it all!
