Dec '10 TR:I Will Not Stop Stalking ADRs Until I Get To WDW!(MARCH TR LINK) 3/26

Oh wow. That was so sweet of her to send you that little gift to welcome you
'home'!! Way to go WL!

Good luck on your exams. You are going to do great!!

Thanks! I'm hoping so since it will be my 9th time taking it :rotfl:

That stinks way it ended up for you.

You have a good plan. I hope you are back in FL teaching soon :thumbsup2

Thanks! I debating about taking the FL exam but then I would not be able to teach outside of FL if I would decide to move away from FL (not likely though!)

Now deciding the area I'd like to teach in is another question!
 
Ok, let me just start by saying: SORRY!!! I haven't been ignoring your TR...I kinda, sorta didn't subscribe! I always forget to subscribe if I post first. :confused3 Anyway, I am here now!!

Yeah, for Oyster Bar!!!! We seriously love that place!!!! We go pretty often since it is a penny an inch for kids Sunday through Thursday, so we bring Olivia's cup of milk (she has to have Lactaid milk anyway), and her meal is a whopping $.39!!! Their onion straws are great too! Gee, now I'm hungry!

Let's see if I can remember everything else I wanted to comment on:
Wow! I didn't realize just what a crappy time you had a POP! The sad thing is, I know exactly the manager you are talking about! He has never looked happy in any of our 4 trips to POP last year! There was no reason for you to be treated that way! I could understand if you had been rude or demanding (well, even then I couldn't understand), but you weren't!!! At least they magically found a room for you, even though they were at 100% capacity!

Woo Hoo for all the greatness at WL!!! I think we are going to stay there for a longish weekend next month! We just have to make sure they will let DH have 2 days off...I just hope they decide soon before all the passholder rates disappear! I really wish I knew a CM and could get those kinds of discounts!!!! Your view was amazing! I think we will stick with a woods view and cross my fingers for pixie dust, but if not, we will still (hopefully) be at the WILDERNESS LODGE!!!

I hope things are better at home by now (they should be since I am so far behind)! Home stress is never fun!

I think you will pass your test this time. The 12th is my mom's birthday so I think that will be good luck to you (why...I'm not quite sure...:confused3) I wish I could ditch my DH for the weekend and come hang out with you while you are at WDW in March! That would be great!

Ok, I know I have forgot some comments, but at least I am subscribed now and will be able to keep up!
 
Don't wait until you've have kids to go to CRT, go now! I think you'll enjoy it. How about brkfst & pay OOP?

What a awesome view you had!

I can taste those warm Choc. Chip cookies now, yum! That was so sweet of them!
 


HI DIS FRIENDS!!!!

I know you're probably wondering why I'm updating during the week when I'm supposed to be studying for my test that is in less than 2 months :rolleyes1 but LOOK AT MY SIGGIE AND WHAT TO YOU SEE...?????????????

I'll leave that for now and I'll be back this weekend to update the trip AND start the PTR for the new trip!!!

It will be filled with a lot of pros and cons as far as resort choice, give and take as far as days off work, and a potential title of:

PRIORITY: I BOOK MY ADRS BEFORE I BOOK ANYTHING ELSE!!!

And there you have it! I'll leave you to ponder and think of the following things:

-Where are we staying..you're clue is a Moderate (oh but I did try and beg for Deluxe haha!)

-We have 4 meals, all booked already, NO sig restaurants/dinner shows/or CRT


HAVE FUN THINKING!!! POST YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND!

Yay!!!


A New ticker :thumbsup2

My guess is POR
 
I'm gonna guess CBR... :goodvibes Omg I am just SO excited because I'm leaving for the World in around 6 hours!!! I CANNOT sleep I'm too excited!!!!!!!!!! And I'm staying at Yacht Club for the first time EVER and I can't even wait!!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:
 
Yay for a new ticker! We'll both be celebrating our 26th bdays at WDW (even though my trip will be a couple weeks after my actual bday...but oh well!).

I was upset with the manager at POP as well. Like I said, we never viewed it as a Value resort until we had that experience. The sad thing is is that my mom had to deal with a manager in Oct because they bought tix for MNSSHP and then my bro was able to get them with his CM discount (still sigh on his termination grr!) anyways, the manager at POP that she dealt with said they normally don't refund the tickets but gave her his card and said to buy the CM ones, come back with them as proof and they would refund the tickets from online...and they did!

You will love WL!! I saw you got a pin but can't use it. I got one too, it was in Meghan's name (my friend) but I usually have one if I call and ask but it's not good for our dates either. Oh well! The Passholder discount is a better deal than the regular one Disney is offering anyways. I did ask my friend D who works at CSR and she has not responded to my message on FB, perhaps she's sick of dealing with my many trips :rolleyes1 It would have saved us around $200 or nothing but we would have upgraded to AKL probably but oh well!! We have till 1/31 to make changes until we hit 45 days so we'll see!

Don't wait until you've have kids to go to CRT, go now! I think you'll enjoy it. How about brkfst & pay OOP?

What a awesome view you had!

I can taste those warm Choc. Chip cookies now, yum! That was so sweet of them!

Thanks! I did decide against CRT. 3 reasons really, #1, the times that were offered were 9pm or later, #2 it wouldn't be on my birthday anyways, and #3, assuming my brother can meet us for some meals, he wouldn't want to meet us for that + we'd have to pre-pay for him since he's not on the DDP which seemed like a lot of hassle. I think if anything, it would be fun to go with my friends anyways..sorry mom haha!

Oh my goodness! How awesome is that!!!! YAY!!

Wow. You are so on the ball. Will you pass some of that ADR pixie dust my way please? I keep dragging my feet... lol.

Haha..do you have a schedule?! I plan all of my friends Disney trips. My one in Oct, I sat down, booked the resort, my flight, a schedule, dining, and booked dining in 2 hours. It pretty much stuck too which was good!

Yay!!!


A New ticker :thumbsup2

My guess is POR

..maybe!!

I'm gonna guess CBR... :goodvibes Omg I am just SO excited because I'm leaving for the World in around 6 hours!!! I CANNOT sleep I'm too excited!!!!!!!!!! And I'm staying at Yacht Club for the first time EVER and I can't even wait!!!! :banana::banana::banana::banana:

maybe!!! I'm off to check out your PTR, sorry I didn't know about it earlier, have fun though!

Yay for a new ticker! We'll both be celebrating our 26th bdays at WDW (even though my trip will be a couple weeks after my actual bday...but oh well!).

Yay!!!! We looked at flights for the next weekend and they jumped to $300+ because we don't have SW and I hate to do airtran and pay for bags when I got $200 off with Delta + we don't pay for bags with my gold delta CC.

Oh well!
 
I'm going to guess POR only because you had that bug incident at CSR (otherwise I would've guessed CSR)
 
Yay, a ticker!!! Let me know if you want to meet up! WHo are you going with?? Going back to catch up on this report!!
 


MARCH 2011 TRIP DETAILS!!

HAPPY FRIDAY DIS FRIENDS!!!

I hope everyone had a great week!

GREAT NEWS OF THE WEEK!!

I'm heading back to WDW!!!

I pretty much had 4 options for my birthday:
-Stay home :sad2:
-Go to Cali/DL with friends :confused3
-Look into a Disney Cruise
-Go to WDW!

Option one...fail!..duh!?
Option two..was a go until my friend "M" from the Oct trip said she didn't want to go without her HS friend who was not able to go in March or April. Using my judgment and M's history of quick decision making..I decided to forget the Cali idea even though it's been 10+ years since I've been there and my BFF that I lived with in FL for 1.5yr lives there.
Option three..too expensive. I look back at the CM prices I could have had as a CM and I want to cry! Now in order to get the CM discount, you have to go with a CM. Oh well!
Option four...DISNEY WORLD IT IS!!!

CAST OF CHARACTERS!!

Me!! (Megan)

Since this isn't a full-blown PTR, I'm going to just stick with that. I'm assuming most of you have followed along since the Oct trip or Dec, so you know all the details!

Mom:

She is a SAHM now even though she doesn't have kids to stay home with! She is getting settled into living in Cincinnati after living in Pittsburgh for 20+ years!

Bro:

He's currently living in Orlando, looking for a job, and I'm sure NOT missing the OH weather!!

Dad will not be joining us..we're assuming! Based on the past few weeks as you have read, the tension in the house hasn't exactly been kittens and pretty flowers! I doubt he will, but we'll see!

This will my 4th birthday in a row that I'll be celebrating in WDW.

My first (ever) was in March 2008..age 23. I was a CP at the time and 3 of my 5 roomies took me out for my Bday to Teppan Edo!

This is Elyse and I. She's my BFF Cali/FL roomie:

My 2nd birthday was a year later in March 2009..age 24. This time it was just Elyse and I since the other roomies had moved home by then:

This is a ton for one post so I'll be back tomorrow with the TRIP DETAILS!!

-WHERE WILL WE CALL HOME FOR 4NIGHTS/5DAYS?

-4 MEALS, 2 AT PARKS, 2 AT RESORTS!

-:love: DELTA!

STAY TUNED!!!!!







 
Yay, a ticker!!! Let me know if you want to meet up! WHo are you going with?? Going back to catch up on this report!!

Yay!!!! The cast is posted but my mom and I are going for sure. My brother is living down there right now as are some of my friends from my CP/PI days so I'll probably see them hopefully!!

I debated about doing a separate PTR for this since I'm 60 days out but we'll just call this GOING GREEN as far as saving space for other PTR/TR and putting the Dec TR and the March PTR in one thread! I'll do a separate TR for March when I get back!

...ARE YOU DOING A PTR FOR A'S BIRTHDAY TRIP?? Where are you guys staying???

Yay for a Mom and Daughter trip-I like those :) I think i am going to do the same thing as far as a PTR for March in my Dec TR. I am also going to start a PTR next month for our big trip in Sep/Oct. We are at SS now but that may change as well as the dates-may be going earlier.

Sounds good!!

Our dates are pretty set in stone. I don't have vacation time left..just a day until I get a week the end of May so I'm taking a day unpaid/day paid/leaving early unpaid. Being that I went to WDW 4 times in 2010, I'm not hurting by any means and with my AP its nice! I wish we had DVC for as much as I've gone but between CM friend discounts, AP room discounts, and Free Dining..we've gotten some good deals!!!

Ours is a Moderate resort for now (details coming tomorrow!) but it might change...haha
 
Yay for a mother daughter Trip!!

Can't wait for more details :wizard:

Thanks! I'll probably post a Dec Trip update tomorrow and a March trip update on Sunday! We've booked a resort with my AP discount but my old roomie (K) from the Oct trip is going to try and book us an upgrade with her CM discount but maybe not till Mon or Tues so there will be a hold on the resort reveal!
 
Megan, Congrats on the birthday trip! Is it before or after the Praxis? (Isn't it awful how other parts of life (like studying) interfere with Disney planning? I have essays to grade and major test prep to plan for --my students take the PSSA in March.

When you take the Praxis, do you get a score right away or do you have to wait? Years ago,:rolleyes1 when I took my GRE's, I was able to see the score immediately.

We stayed at CSR in the past and I LOVED it.

Debby
 
Yay for a new trip, and a birthday trip no less! :cool1: A mother daughter trip sounds like fun, I wish I could get my mom to go again, I haven't been there with her since our last family trip which was ages ago, I really have no idea how long it's been. But she refuses to fly now, and unless I go for like, 2 weeks, I'm not driving so who knows?

Can't wait to see what ADR's you picked and where you are staying! I'm guessing POFQ so you can check out the new refurbed rooms! :banana:
