Hope everyone had a nice Mother's day. We stayed home and grilled out by the pool. The whole time DS7 kept talking about the pools on the Dream and asking how much longer until our Fantasy cruise
2 more weeks of school left until Summer break. Anyone planning fun trips this summer? We're off to Jekyll island for a week next month. Not as nice a beach as CC, but we'll make do!
We asked if he was going to the Fantasy 
and he said he preferred staying on the Magic... I guess I would probably make the same choice considering the changes in itineraries.
then we fly to utah to visit family and friends for two weeks and at the end of that i have a gwo (girls wknd out) w/ a bunch girlfriends i've known for years from all over the country, we get together once a year in different places this year happens to be utah which works out well since i'll already be there, lol!
as warm as it's been here (what happened to spring? ) the cool SF summer will be more than welcome.
. I fly to Salt Lake City in 4 short days and then 3 days later, JorDan and I fly out to California . Unfortunately once I return work will be in full blown total chaos mode 
. Our fiscal year end is June 30th and the year-end process starts in May and doesn't end until mid-September. It is absolutely NUTS how long the process is . This will be my 3rd year-end so I hope it will be easier than past ones. Last year was much better than my first one, so I'm optimstic 
. There are many late nights and weekend work, which kinda stinks.
. 
. We have gone to WDW for my birthday the past 4 years, but won't be able to do it this year 
. We are arriving the day after Thanksgiving and staying at Vllas at Wilderness Lodge for a week. Alicia has only stayed at Pop Century, so she will be in for a treat . Not Disney related, but all my sisters (6 of us in all 
) are going to Key West for a week in February 2013 (I know, we are crazy long term planners ) to celebrate sister #2 turing 60 
. We all went to Vegas for sister #1's 60th birthday and had an incredible time . We all get along fantasically and really enjoy each other's company, so I'm sure it will be a trip with many happy memories .
I do have a second job that I'll be working 23 hours a week for from June through mid-July to help make some moolah for the cruise. I'm going to see a friend in Nebraska in a few weeks, but other than that, my summer plans include rest, relaxation, and Disney planning! We are taking a 4-day trip to WDW mid-October for MNSSHP, and then we're also going to head to the parks the Wednesday before the cruise up until Saturday. As dznyacct said, we are long-term planners, too, and are trying to coordinate trips with several family friends we'll be taking to Disney with us in 2013, 2014, and 2015! We've got to plan that far ahead so we know how to use/save our DVC points and give those families time to save up money. 
We'll be at Epcot on Saturday from close to opening until probably 2pm then heading over to MK from about 3 until Closing. The only time we won't be able to meet up would be while we have dinner at 3:20 (only time the Plaza had that wouldn't interfere with the fireworks and parade)
If you want to meet up let me know by PM and I can give you a way of contacting me if need be
with being jellous. June has always been a busy month for us the first weekend in June is tour de cure. It's an charity bike ride for diabetes and we usually work a rest stop but this year is our daughters graduation. The following weekend is her pool party. The next weekend is fathers day weekend and the last is my families yearly camping trip! Busy busy busy then it's the forth of July, I don't know if anyone ever worked retail but the forth makes me feel like summer is over! I hate it but it's just the way my clock inside my body works. Maybe we can try to do something to get that changed!
Wow! Sounds rough! How ever will you cope?
We were planning to do the Magic Mediterranean cruise but I unexpectedly got pregnant so now our little surprise princess is arriving in August so we can't go anywhere this summer, but hopefully we can do something later on this year. I don't think I'll be able to wait until our Fantasy cruise to get my Disney fix . I hope everyone enjoys their summer vacations!!!
. From Finland I am taking Sabrina and a friend to Stockholm on a short cruise. Should be fun. Joni and I may also go to Estonia for a night or two for our anniversary. We may end up going with some friends somewhere else in Europe -- Barcelona has come up as an option. That would be fun (no kids of course) but nothing is set yet. it would be our first WDW stay in a hotel and be a resort guest vacation since 2008 before we moved to Orlando.
