DISNEY DREAMING! A Nov/Dec 2010 PTR *12/9 ~ Hello Again!

[Mickey_Mom]

Wow, Tracy, I made it just in time for the big news!

Girlfriend, huh?

Yikes!

If 2 rooms at Pop won't do, remember the Family Suites at ASMusic!

And I'm so glad that George was able to get the time off! What a stroke of luck!


Kathy

Hi Kathy, glad you've joined in!

The extras of the suite at ASMusic does sound appealing, but it's actually cheaper by about $300 to get two rooms at the Pop. We found the bus system a bit of a drag when we stayed at ASMovies, the way it goes to all three All Star resorts, and we just enjoyed ourselves more. If only those suites at the Pop were ready now!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

No Riverside?

Excuse me while I wipe my tears.



Okay, I'm done.

It's great that his girlfriend might be able to come along but I am a little sad that you won't be staying at Riverside. I'd go for the two rooms at Pop, their bus system is so much better than the other values.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I'm joining your PTR! We just had to postpone our September trip to November and I'm starting to get excited about all the Christmas decorations! I love your plans and immediately thought of ASMU Suites as well with the girlfriend situation! I can sympathize, my 15 year old ds (16 in a month!) has a 17 year old girlfriend that is coming to visit and it's sometimes hard to get them to plan anything, so hopefully she will give you a definite answer soon!

Whoops! Hi there, almost missed you but to my PTR! I'll have to pop over to your PTR too, once I can see pictures from home!

I'm really hoping she can let me know one way or the other before Southwest releases their flights. I haven't even talked to George about it yet (he works straight nights for those new to my reports) so we'll see what his thoughts are too. The big lug was tempted to pay for her entirely so she could come when we talked about it last!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I'm holding on to Riverside as long as I can! I told Alex I'd price out exactly how much it would cost for her to go, the flight being the variable, and hopefully she can tell me one way or the other soon.

I can totally see George saying let's buy the flight for her.

 

[Angies1274]

Ahh....now I understand why you may have an extra addition in your pictures!

Wow! that would mean a lot of changes but it would definitely make Alex happy. Hopefully, she lets you know in enough time if she can go. I would be so stressed out right now wondering and waiting.....

It too bad about POR though..I know how excited you were! But...you know how great POP is!! Plus...it would be exciting to see it all decorated for the holidays!!

Ha ha, I'd forgotten I said that!

An added element has developed in the last half hour. I just finally got the chance to talk to George, and as expected, he's thinking we should buy the flight for her in case it comes out before she's had the chance to figure out if she can come. If we had the travel credit, he said he'd use it to go to Florida during Spring Break. Ha! As if! I immediately replied that if anything, Ariana and I would use it but that Demetri would be soooo disappointed if I did that. He replied, "not if we did something really cool while you were gone". More seeds planted!!!

 

[Kathy Jetson]

Wow big changes after I checked your ptr from yesterday! I hope everything goes just the way you want it to!

Ooohhh....travel credit is always good! How wonderful would a mom/daughter trip be!!! So...if the credit did happen...would it be Flower and Garden Festival 2011 for you?

Thanks! I may end up with no changes at all..... and that would be OK too.

Careful, I don't want to start hoping she can't come.... but how GREAT would that be? We'd definately stay at AKL if it's just the two of us..... whoops, seems I'm already sucked in to F&G 2011!

Ooh! A girlfriend! That certainly will make for an interesting trip. There's a whole new dynamic with a girlfriend along. Sounds like you've got a lot of work ahead of you this week!

She's really very sweet and I hope she's going to have a good time. She sent me a message thru FB tonite thanking me for making her feel so welcome.

I still have to talk to her parents, but it's really starting to look like she'll be joining us.

She sounds like a gem if she's thanking you for being invited! Has she been before? Do you get to do the fun "first time" stuff?

This would be her first trip. You never know with teens, but she's very excited at the chance to come. It would definately be fun acting as her tour guide.

Yeah, that's the best part - who you go with really makes or breaks your first trip. If it's Disney lovers like you guys, she's going to have an amazing time!

 

[JPFamilyMom]

Wow!!! A girlfriend is sure to make this a very interesting trip.

Can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Ahh...that's great that she's so excited to come along!! I know that we had so much fun being a tour guide for my family last August! It kind of made everything feel new again for us too!

I think my family would fondly refer to me as a "Disney freak". I agree, it's all in the attitude. People are going to have as great of a time as they're prepared to let themselves have.

Well, I'd planned on allowing Alex some free time to go to Disney Quest, now he'll have some company.

Definately a new element for me to keep in mind ... all the firsts she gets to have!

Hi Tracy!

Great PTR so far - loved all the background info and pics from a few years back

Oh my goodness, what a twist to get thrown in right before flights and ADRs need to be booked It would be great for Alex to have someone to hang out with, especially with the freedom he started to enjoy on the last trip

Oh, and the week you are going is the exact week that we are hoping to go in 2011!

Can't wait to see how it all works out

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Well, it's official. Everyone send a warm welcome to our latest addition to my cast of characters..... Kathryn! (I'll try and get a picture!)

I spoke with Kathyrn's mom this evening just to make sure they understood the costs of her joining us and to gauge how serious they were. She's in. Definately.

Kathryn is jumping out of her skin excited to come with us and is raising the money by herself. She already has some savings and when she visits next weekend, she's bringing the $$ for the flight.

So..... I must bid farewell to Port Orleans Riverside.

Hey there! Glad you made it over!

Well now that Kathryn is definately in, I can totally switch gears and get going again. I have to find out what implications there may be with a party of six for ADRs, but we'll roll with it.

I'm excited she's joining us.

 

[moparop]

glad to hear that you have a definite answer and can move forward. How cool that she is raising her own money for the trip!

what resort are you leaning toward now?
