EWP group?

[IASW Rider]

Just stoping in for a quick "hello", this morning, since I have a doctor's appointment soon, and a bunch of errands to run.

Great to see you, Elaine and Linda! And Linda - I've never had a KokoPuff, either! I've seen them, though, on the Kona Cafe dessert display near the pastry chef's station, there, and they look great! I think that there may be a picture of them (along with all of the other Kona desserts) in my on-line albums.

Thanks, as always, for your thoughtful words! You all are such wonderful friends!

I wish I had some interesting news to report, but I don't - just "the usual", around here! Ooh - all of a sudden, I have a cat sitting in my chair with me! The Big Ragoo (the one who looks like your Cleo, Elaine) just jumped behind me, on my chair - and made me jump, in the process!

Well, just wanted to stop by and say "hello" - will be in touch again, soon, and will try to conjure up some interesting news!

Have a nice day!

As the oldest member of this group I will clue you in on a fact of life. Real friends are much different from fake friends. Real friends are there for the bad times and even worse (the boring times). We root each other on through the routines of life and just sit quietly enjoying the companionship and rest up for the tough times that are sure to come. If we could only talk or post when there was something exciting going on we would only get together a couple of times a year. Frankly, having lived t hrough many exciting times I can tell you that they are not all they are cracked up to be and are, for the most part, not fun. LOL

Just enjoy seeing your sweet smile, Lisa. Hoping some of the other Suite Ladies will check in with updates on their days as well. I would love to touch base befoe we head out for the World. Have our agenda all figured out. Such a luxury to have time to enjoy the small things and plan a lot of looking in nooks and crannies for the small touches that Disney is famous for.

I have to check my clothes this weekend and make sure that I have enough clothes that fit and if not there will be some serious shopping going on next week.

Am headed for a meet with some members of a weigh loss forum I belong to this weekend. Should be a blast. They are great ladies and have been so much help to me.


Hope your doctor's appointment goes well Rider and he tells you that he is proud of your weight loss. You deserve the praise for all your hard work.

Please do not worry about me and the Koko Puffs as I am blessed with a DH who can eat what is left after I have my taste so I do not eat the whole thing and come back pounds heavier. LOL

Off for my day at the library, Linda/SG

 

[helenabear]

Hi there everyone! Just popping in because I am tired of work already (and I've only been here 2- 2/12 hours )

Linda, I am glad that you enjoyed the pictures I posted. I very much enjoyed taking them and sharing all I saw with everyone. I too love seeing pictures to put a face with a name. Marie is very kind and very friendly. I only wish I had more time to talk with her like I did my previous trip. I can't believe you are so close to leaving for your trip too! Of course I only have 37 days left, but I do wish I could go sooner. Do we have a night planned to watch the EWP yet with you? I just realized I don't have that planned in yet on my trip. I guess I will have to work on that one. I have to admit also I have never had a Koko Puff... mostly because I am not a chocolate lover at all and so they never really appealed to me. But do get Tom to try one for you and sneak a taste along with him

Lisa, I hope all goes well with the doctor's appointment (I hope it was just a standard check up). I also hope you are enjoying your time off. I agree with Linda, your time off couldn't have come at a better time. Had I been laid off a long time ago right about the time of my wedding I would have been happy about it as that would have been a great time to get time off. Shame on your Big Ragoo though... scaring you like that. Mine just are rude and "yell" at me when they want to sit near me Gotta love the babies though.

Linda, your words on friendship are so true! Friends are there for everything... the ones who aren't, cannot be considered to be true friends.

Well I have to run again... work is calling my name. I am going shopping at an Outlet mall this weekend with a few fellow DISers, but that will be all I have planned this weekend. I hope you all have a great time and don't forget that coming Sunday we will all be back on Standard time

Dear Elaine

There is a big difference between acquaintances and friends IMHO. It is human nature that you are not going to like or have things in common with every single person you meet in this life but it is a gift when you click with someone special. When I got sick a few years ago a lot of acquaintences left my life. It hurt at first and then I realized that I was able to focus on more important people and things by cutting the chaff out of my life. Not that I do not wish those people well, I do, but it seemed that they were the people who took up so much of my time doing for them and were very wearing on me. So very many people have come into my life for short or longer times and then moved on with life changes. I could bemoan their loss but how much greater it would have been if I had not gotten to know them at all. Each and everyone made me who I am today and I will forever treasure that. You Suite Ladies mean that to me also. Is a place I can go and find smiles and kindness anytime of the day or night and I hope that I am able to give some of that back to you all.

Nuff sweetness and light. LOL I actually have the EWP penciled in a few times on this trip.

11/05 Check in/unpack/rest/ get bearings/MGM for a few hours/1900 Park Fair dinner and EWP/fireworks
11/06 Trail's End Buffet/MK/Boatwright's dinner/Lounge music
11/07 EPCOT/Akerhaus/Little Anthony and the Imperials
11/08 DTD events for Art Festival/Marrakesh/EPCOT/Fifth Dimension with Pooh 123/Spectomagic
11/09 Liberty Tree/MK/stay for parade and fireworks
11/10 MGM/H&V Fantasmic package
11/11 Animal Kingdom
11/12 Perkins Pancake House/MK/Poly for dinner/EWP/Fireworks
11/13 AK/Bombas for dinner
11/14 EPCOT/Biergarten/Chubby Checker/Rainforest Cafe/Cirque
11/15 MGM/Brown Derby/Chevy's for dinner
11/16 Sister and friend come in for weekend, will probably go to this fantasic Italian restaurant for dinner and to Jellyrolls to howl at the moon!
11/17 Breakfast with sister and check out unless they have an early soft opening for Osbourne Lights in which case we will extend a couple of days.

Back home in t ime to celebrate Thanksgiving and get ready for Christmas.

Did not enclose all the gory details, just a taste of where we will be and what we will be doing. I like to leave a bit of space to change plans if weather or other circumstances warrant.

I can only handle about 6-8 hours in the parks a day. Planning on seeing a lot of small things we have not been able to on other trips. Hope the snow stays away until we return. LOL

I have a new outfit on. Not fancy BUT a smaller size than any others. I can now buy clothes at Wal Mart. K Mart was the only regular store that had clothes in my size before. Am stil in XL sizes but there are not so very many X's nowadays. Will take my scales with me so I can watch that the needle does not go in the wrong direction.

Elaine, have you made your usual detailed plans? Do you keep to them or do you vary sometimes? What are you going to do on this trip that you would not if Luis was going with you?

Lisa, hope your doctor's appt went well and you got a clean bill of health. You should with all the hard work you have been putting in.

Angelina and Jstmee, as always you are both in our hearts and on our minds and we are sending pixie dust your way to lighten your day.

SG/Linda

 

[helenabear]

You are such a dear Linda... I do agree with your statements on friends vs aquaintences. The good ones will always be there... the others won't when the going is tough. I am very blessed for all the true friends I do have!

It sounds like you have a great schedule going! I will have to make a little confession, I don't usually do schedules BUT I do make very detailed lists of things I like to do. I usually don't do many sit-down dinners and I like to go with the flow. This trip though is a bit different so I have a schedule going for myself and a few others I will be around most of the time. I still have very few sit down dinners planned but a lot of meetings with people set up. The end of my trip is getting pretty full but the beginning four or so days are pretty empty right now. I don't know if there is anything I will be doing differently since Luis isn't there... maybe see all the parades since he isn't a parade person and I probably won't go to Disney Quest, but otherwise not much looks different for me. He usually just goes along with it all

Well my lunch is almost over so I had best run. I hope everyone here is doing well

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Dear Helenabear, I am so flattered that you would spend your lunchhour chatting with us.

I would have pegged you as an obsessive Disney planner. I like to go the medium route as I want to do as much as possible but leave room for changes if something better comes up. Will only make PM's for the 1900 Park Fare and the H&V Spectromagic meals. Have never had trouble getting into anywhere we really wanted to eat and I do not like having to run back across the park to catch a PM.

I hope to meet a few other DISers while there. Any lurkers wanna meet one of the Suite Mates? We are an older retired couple and do not move fast but have plenty of smiles to share.

SG/Linda

 

[IASW Rider]

Greetings, my friends!

Sorry for the short absence, there, again!

I also loved your thoughts about friendship and true friends always being around, even when there is nothing unusual going on, and especially when one needs them, Linda and Elaine!

Sounds like you have a very busy and organized WDW schedule planned, Linda! It's great that you are going to get to do so many neat things, and that you are going to try some things that you have never experienced there before, too! And I'm glad to see that the EWP appears on your schedule more than once, of course! Glad that you will be able to make it over to the Poly - please say "hello" to it, for me!

And I can't believe that your trip is also coming up so quickly, Elaine! Time really flies by, doesn't it? If you don't happen to have a lot of plans (yet!) during the beginning of your trip, maybe you should just take that time to relax and "reacclimate" yourself with the parks, resorts, etc. Just take some time to wander around and just do what you feel like, at the moment!

As of this Saturday, we have exactly 7 months till our WDW trip! And this is what OUR schedule looks like, so far (hee hee!):

June 2: Arrive, "Hello" to MK, Dinner at 'Ohana
June 3: DMGM Studios, pool time, Dinner at Artist Pooint
June 4: Epcot, Le Cellier (?), pool time, Dinner at Citricos
June 5: Chef Mickey's, pool, AK (?), Dinner at California Grill
June 6: All day pool day, Dinner at Brown Derby, Fantasmic, hook up with Mike
June 7: Kona Cafe, MK, Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern, SpectroMagic
June 8: Throw myself on the floor of the Poly lobby and beg them to let us move in there permanently, depart

Hey, it's never too early to make those preliminary plans, right?

Isn't it great to have to assess your wardrobe to see what still fits, before a WDW trip, Linda? I had to buy all new shorts and tank tops before our trip in June, since I had absolutely nothing that fit from last year! Good idea bringing your scale with you! But you won't need to - you'll be fine and do a great job, down there!

Right now, I'm back to my "gain 2 pounds, lose 2 pounds" thing. UGH. But at least it's a "lower" 2 pounds than the last time I went through this, so that's a little progress, I guess! We've been going out to dinner a lot, lately, and those later-and-heavier-than-usual dinners out tend to get to me. As long as I keep losing those 2 pounds, I'm happy! Of course I'd be happier if the scale moved below those 2 pounds, but.....!

Boy, it sure got cold, here! It definitely feels like fall outside, now! And I hate that it's getting dark so early. But the leaves looks really pretty, now! Didn't it seem like it took longer than usual for them to start changing, this year? They're pretty much at their "peak" around here, now.

We went "down the shore" to visit my friends who live near Atlantic City, this past weekend. My friend's husband and one of her sons were away in Florida, so we kept her and her younger (toddler) son company, and she was also babysitting a friend's infant. Frank was adorable, playing with the boys - I think that he enjoyed their toys as much as they did! He is fantastic with children, which makes me feel even more confident than I already did that he will be a wonderful father some day (not too soon, though! We'll get there, eventually! ). It was a nice visit. We have some busy weekends coming up, including 2 excursions to NYC, so hopefully I will have some more "eventful" news to report, soon!

I enjoyed seeing your DIS meet pictures, too, Elaine! You always take such great pictures! I can't wait to see all of the ones that you are going to take at the DIS CON (hint, hint!)! Seriously, it's so nice that you post them all for everyone to see!

I'm going to make your salsa chicken for dinner again tonight, Linda! Actually, I should get going on that, now.

Hope that all is well with all of you! Have a nice day and talk to you soon!

 

[IASW Rider]

Boo!

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

 

[IASW Rider]

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to stop in and say that I hope that you all had a nice weekend! Also, I hope that it's not too late, but I wanted to wish Linda and Tom BON VOYAGE and a wonderful trip to WDW! How about a "virtual EWP viewing" tomorrow night at 9:45 PM? (I think that that's what time the EWP appears at the Grand Floridian!) Have a great trip and enjoy!! And please say "hi" to the EWP and IASW for me!

Hope that all is well with all of you!

Everything is fine, here. We had a wonderful day and evening in NYC to celebrate the 3 year anniversary of our first date and our 5 month wedding anniversary, on Saturday! We saw "Thoroughly Modern Millie", which was this year's Best Musical, and it was just fantastic! And we had dinner at a beautiful rotating restaurant on top of the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, called The View. There were amazing views of the City, and we even got to see the fireworks that celebrated the kickoff of the NY Marathon celebration! We felt like we were at the California Grill, watching the fireworks over the MK! Here are some photos, if you'd like to see:

(Sorry - for some reason, I wasn't able to insert a hyperlink - please cut and paste the above huge link, if you'd like to see! )

We had a chance to meet the star of the show we saw, Sutton Foster, who also won the Tony this year as Best Actress in a Musical. She was very sweet and just adorable! And needless to say, she was outstanding in the show. You can also see the weird silver guy whom we encountered on the street (anything is possible in NYC!) and some photos of us in the restaurant, etc. We really had a nice time - it was a great treat!

Hope that you're all having a nice day!

 

[IASW Rider]

Oooh - my crazy long link turned into a hyperlink when I submitted the post!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

May I join you all in the virtual watching of the EWP? For the very first time in my life I had to cancel a DW vacation. I was already having a hard time trying to get everything done so we could leave, make plans, get the yardwork done before we left as it would be too cold when we returned, Christmas cards so they could be mailed out Thanksgiving as I usually do, oil change and wash car, and on and on including the regular housework etc. I started having pains in my right shoulder and thought it would go away, did not so I went to the doctor who said it might be gallbladder. Even with that I was still considering going but when I pulled into the carwash to get the car washed before our trip. While trying to wash the car with one hand while my DH gave me hints on spots where I had missed it occurred to me that maybe this trip was just not a good idea. Am still too angry to talk about it all right now so I will slip off to sulk for a bit and will return when I calm down and become human again.

Lisa, you are just a sweetheart. Your card was do thoughtful and kind. I wish I could bring you out here and spoil you rotten!!

Linda/SG

 

[angelina]

Hi, Lisa, I loved seeing your pictures! What a great weekend! I've been seeing billboards here for RENT, and was wondering if you and Frank had seen that yet?

 

[IASW Rider]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that you decided to cancel your trip, Linda! I feel so badly that I made a big "Bon Voyage" deal, now. But it's much better that you take care of yourself - especially if your doctor advised that you might have an issue with your gall bladder. Also, it's better that you have peace of mind and know that you have gotten everything done that you need to do, and that you're ready for the upcoming holiday season. We'll just have more virtual fun, here in the Suite, that's all! We'll make you feel like you are at WDW, right now! Speaking of which......it's a little after 9:00 PM.....by my estimate, the EWP should be passing by any moment, now.......! Thank you for your kind words, Linda! I'm sure that you and Tom will make it back to WDW before you know it!

Hi Angie! Great to hear from you! And thanks for your thoughtful words, too! How have you been?! And your family? Yes! Frank and I have seen "Rent"! We saw it once together, and I saw it twice before that, with 2 different sets of girl friends! I love that show!! If you are considering seeing it, a few words of caution: it might not be appropriate for your children to see - there are some mature themes depicted - implications of intimate activities and drug use, and a continuous underlying theme dealing with HIV / AIDS. It is also a very LOUD show - it is entirely sung through, with very little, if any, spoken dialog, and very "rock like" music. Personally, I love the show, but these are just a few things that I thought you might want to know ahead of time, if you're thinking of seeing it!

Hope that you're all having a good night! And we'll always be at WDW with you, in our hearts, SG!

 

[IASW Rider]

Just stopping by to say "hello" to you all and to give our thread a little "bump"!

Hope that all is well with all of you!

 

[helenabear]

I feel like such a dufus! I was deleting subscriptions to threads and I deleted this one by accident! I wondered why I wasn't getting any e-mail notifications!!! So thank you Lisa for the little bump

So I will do my best to catch up as much as possible with you all right now while I am at work eating a very good, yet probably bad for me, turkey bacon wrap (with Ranch dressing too )

Lisa, it sounds like you have a very nice plan all laid out for you there (even if it is just preliminary)! I'll share mine so far in a minute. I also loved hearing and seeing all about your day at the theater! That's one thing, around here I have to wait for the good shows to come to me instead of me going to them. I too got a nice post card in the mail from you! I truly enjoy getting them as they always make me smile. I haven't yet had a chance to talk to my brother about the Elephant hotel though

Linda, I am so so sorry to hear about your trip I wish there was something I could do to help you feel better about it all. I do hope you'll be able to reschedule soon though.

Hi Angie, good to see you stop in!

Well I feel terrible for sharing this in light of Linda's recent disappointment, but I hope you don't terribly mind seeing it Linda. (If you do stop reading now).

I have a tentative plan (and more planned then usual for me) for my trip:

12/1: Fly out, Check in the Swan, afternoon at MK, evening meet up with a bunch of DISers for ToD & IllumiNations.
12/2: No clue what to do, Candelight Processional in the evening w/ Dinner at Marrakesh beforehand
12/3: World Showcase backstage tour in the morning, ??? Dinner at Chef Mickey's then MVMCP
12/4: ???, in the afternoon I am meeting with a group of DISers who will get to use the staff entrance to SE, then meeting with others at Rose & Crown later on. My friend and her son are also coming that night to share a room with me for a few days
12/5: ???, afternoon at MGM to meet up with a bunch of DISers for most likely a parade, dinner, Fantasmic & Osborne Lights
12/6: ???, again at MGM to meet up with a group to do a few rides, then meeting with another for dinner & IllumiNations
12/7: AK in the morning/afternoon, not sure about the rest of the day
12/8: not sure what I am doing, but I leave to go home that day too So I'll cry on my way to the airport I am sure...

So that's my trip so far. I do need to work in resort hopping & Downtown Disney too. Not quite sure where I will do those yet.

Well I am back to doing other things. I hope you all have a great day!

 

[angelina]

Good afternoon, everyone, I just wanted to stop by to see what's happening in the suite.

We got a puppy two weeks ago, and had to take her for her first shots this morning. (I know, you're all cat people ) Her name is Honey, and she's a golden retriever/lab mix and she's 6 weeks old. We took her to the vet yesterday, but the Dr. had ER surgery, so I just her weighed instead, and brought her back this morning. She gained 4 OUNCES in less than 24 hours!!! That's more than 4 pounds in the two weeks that we've had her! She's very cute, though, and seems to be very calm and laid back, which is a good thing, because after the last dog we had, we weren't going to have any more. Dad wasn't pleased when we brought her home, but I think she's growing on him. Anyway, the kids love her, especially the 3 year old, who carries the dog everywhere.

SG, I hope you're feeling better about cancelling your trip, even though I know how disappointed you are to miss it. My cousins are going at the end of this month, and have room for 1 more (me) but I can't go. I have been thinking about our last trips, and am feeling terribly homesick. I hope I get to go back one day soon. Come by the suite and say "Hi."

Elaine, I've been trying to catch up on all the posts I missed while my computer was down, too. It sounds like you've got a good trip in the works.

Lisa, thanks for the post card, and BTW, I really enjoyed looking at your NYC pictures. I think I'll pass on Rent, although we may take in the Nutcracker this year. It's been several years since I've been, and my son has never seen it.

I hope everyone has a great afternoon. See you later!

Angie

 

[IASW Rider]

Hello!

Great to see you guys!

Your lunch sounded yummy, Elaine......hope that you saved some for us! It sounds like your WDW / DIS Con schedule is really coming together! And that's so nice that your friend and her son will be able to join you for part of your trip! It will be great!

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family, Angie! What's her name (or haven't you decided yet)? I'm sure that your children enjoy having a new puppy in your home, and I'm sure that she will grow on your DH quickly - how can he resist? I'm sure that she's really cute! Hmmm....The Nutcracker.......good idea! I haven't been to see it in several years, either! That's always a nice thing to do, around the holiday time!

(WARNING: OBNOXIOUS "PITCH" TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO VISIT THE NORTH EAST TO FOLLOW........)

And speaking of "holiday shows", NYC has many great holiday shows to offer, which begin just before Thanksgiving and run through the beginning of January.......The Radio City Christmas Spectacular......."A Christmas Carol" at the Theatre at Madison Square Garden.......not to mention the great shopping and beautifully decorated holiday store windows on Fifth Avenue.......

OK, OK I'll shut up!

I hope that I'm not driving you all crazy with my occasional correspondence / attempts to drag all of you up / down / over here (Wendy, please send me your mailing address so that I can include you in my "campaigns"! )! Every time I see an interesting post card, I think of my DIS friends and have to send it along!

Yes, there sure is a six story elephant right on the beach near Atlantic City! She's actually a National Landmark, now - she hasn't been used as a hotel (or originally a tavern, I believe) in many years - she's over 100 years old! She now houses a museum of memorabilia. Here is her website, if you'd like to see a better picture of her!

www.lucytheelephant.org

Have any of you begun your holiday shopping, yet? I'm so bad, this year - for some reason, I just seem to have a "block" when it comes to what to get for people! Usually, I've already thought about and decided what to buy, if not already finished shopping by now. But I'm just "stuck" on 2 gifts in particular, this year. UGH. Here I have all the time in the world, and no clue what to buy! I'm hoping that something might "come to me" when I'm not thinking about it!

Anyway, hope that you're all having a nice day! Talk to you later!

 

[helenabear]

Hello there everyone! Just stopping in here quickly before I get a few things done today.

Angie, congratulations on your new addition! Sounds like such a cutie!!! And a big one too Do you have any names picked out yet?

Lisa, I love your post cards! I only wish we had more of interest here to send out to share with you all but since I don't then just know I live in a boring state Traveling to see a show sounds so nice, but unfortunately I am maxed out for time off this winter. Sometime soon I swear I will have to try to go to NJ to visit though

Well I am still working on that planning of mine. I usually do not do this much planning but to try to see people is what is making me do all this. I don't mind having some "down times" per say but at the same time, I don't want to miss meeting people

Well I am off to possibly buy a steam cleaner. Have a great day all!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Elaine, how loverly to hear from you. I loved the posting of your agenda. I am the same way, I enjoy having a schedule of sorts but leave a lot of down time for enjoying the little things and most of all the people. You can sit down next to anyone at DW and find a new friend. We all have love of the mouse in common. LOL I hope you find a steam cleaner you like. I bought a Bissel a few years ago and love it. It does not clean as well as a professional model but since you own it you can use it more often and that makes up for it. Since I am a barefoot type of lady I cannot abide crunchies under foot. (grin)

Angelina, I have been wondering how you are doing since we are getting reports of bad storms in your area. Nice to know that you have not floated or blown away. I hope your new family member has you all fully trained by now. (smile) While I have a dread fear of animals I appreciate the love others have for them and would never want to hear of one being hurt.

Lisa, you are just such a super lady to send us all postcards and such. I have been thinking up an appropriate reward for losing the entire 150 pounds and am stuck between a NYC trip or a trip to Germany (and possibly) England to see my niece. I have a sister who goes to NYC on a regular basis and maybe if she plans a trip I could get 'permission' to go alone with her. I have never been on a vacation alone in all these years and I think I am overdue. Maybe I can get my bil to take Tom somewhere at the same time and he would not feel so left out. You younger ladies have it easier but then my generation had it easier than my mothers who were not even allowed to leave the house or make a phone call without supervision, in some cases. Can't wait to see what my granddaughters get up to. Yeah!!!!

I have decided to keep my plans open and possibly take a last minute, spur of the moment DW trip in the spring if the weather cooperates. At least it will be something to keep me sane until Spring springs.

A friend of my daughters and mine has had to take in the youngest child (4 mo) of her sister who will be going away to prison for a bit and as a consequence (very long story) I will be having my little guy one day a week. He has made up a list of things for us to do and he made me kneel down so he could tell me the very best one - - "Have fun with my grandma". Yes, he has me wrapped around his little finger. LOL He had his first basketball game today and he stole the ball and dribbled it all the way down the floor and tossed it in the basket. I have it all on tape for proof. Would be the first athlete in either side of the family.

If the scales are accurate I will make my 75 pound goal this week. Watch for the crustless pumpkin pie recipe Lisa!! It is a winner. Had a rough time last month and did not lose very much of anything at all.

I have started my Christmas cards and have some shopping done. Keeping it simple this year and might allow the boys to do the decorating.

Thanksgiving is so close now and there is so very much we all have to be thankful for. One of my thanks is knowing such a great bunch of young ladies.

Slightly Goofy/Linda

 

[angelina]

Hi, everyone. Linda, I'm so glad you stopped by--I've been wondering where you've been. Lisa, I loved the Phantom postcard--that's my all-time favorite Broadway production. I'm still hoping it will come this way again soon--my ds would love to see it.

Congratulations on reaching the halfway point, Linda. You must be so proud of yourself! I hope you get to go to WDW in the spring--we went at Easter one year, and it was a priceless vacation. It couldn't have been any more wonderful--the Easter egg hunt at our resort was the best. Would love to go at that time of year again, although I am hoping to go in the early summer again and just hang out at the Poly pool and play on the watercraft. My cousins are leaving the day after Thanksgiving, and I'm feeling sorry for myself. I have been reading posts and sending those I think would interest them.

I'm going to turn in now--I have a big day planned tomorrow. I hope everyone has a pleasant evening.

Angie
