FEBRUARY 2008 WDW travelers post HERE!!!

Look at the ticker! Yippee! 24 days. We are actually using our Mickey Christmas countdown calendar to count down to our trip. Instead of starting at 1 and going to 24 (Christmas Eve), today we started at 24 and are counting back to 1!!!!
 
Yah!!! On top of both of my children having penumonia, I now have laryngitis. :yay: What else can I do at this point except cry or laugh. Again, better now than later. I probably won't have my voice for another week. Can't work...I am a counselor and teacher..so this will put a hurting on the paycheck..UGH..and the disney trip. :eek: Prayers please...We did not come this far to have it pulled from under us...

To the rest of you..I pray for good health..

Praying for a fast recovery and not to many days off of work. Hang in there! :hug:
 

YAY, papers!!! I hope you all all getting papers b/c you have a package,!????:upsidedow .... I already have my tickets and room ressie #...

I am excited even more now even though it is costing us more $$! Well, It was $$ I was hoping we wouldn't have to pay but we were sort of planning on it anyway...

I have been STRESSED about what to do with our doxie, who really is a prince:dog:. My MIL didn't seem to want to deal with him(her backyard is still open). The college who used to babysit my kids a few years back is going to stay at our home and take care of him for $10 a day. :dogdance: She'd probably take less but I feel having someone here is a good thing too. She DOES have a steady boyfriend of 2 years or so(she is just turning 20) so I told her just don't have him here when we leave or get back(REALLY don't want to go there with my kids)-whatever happens otherwise, I told her I don't need to know:rolleyes1 !:angel: :laughing: !! She is VERY trustworthy, very caring, lovely . She runs the nursery at our church and I know her parents well. She is most definitely not the type that party's-at least not that often.

I am just excited that he won't be in a kennel for 11 days and someone I trust(she confides in me often-we go on dinners-I guess I am a mentor to her) will be here. She says she would gladly do it b/c it will give her quiet study time while BF is at work-she lives at home with her parents, brother, BOYFRIEND(seperate rooms), and 4 dogs!! She goes to SLU and works hard.

I WILL, however, for good measure, let my neighbors know and keep an eye out-she IS 20!!!

Lori, have you ever done Sunshine Rewards? Look into it, I have been sunshining (answering surveys other stuff for rewards) I have earned about $120 in 3 months and its just 10 minutes a day I dedicate. I cashed out and am using that Disney Card for my photopass cd.
 
YAY, papers!!! I hope you all all getting papers b/c you have a package,!????Lori


We did book a package -- I'm assuming most of who are getting our final docs did. I'm just so glad to have them in hand!!!

OHHHHH ~ DS came home from school today with a temp. and he is feeling really bad!!! :sick: I'm taking him to the Dr. in the AM - hoping it's nothing but a cold!!! I should've known we wouldn't escape it. Plus this weather is crazy!!!
 
Sorry to hear that WendyPooh. I feel for ya..I agree..the crappy weather is wreaking havoc on the body. I mean..it was 24 degrees..2 days later..80 degrees..and today..woke up and it was 65 in the house..so a cold spell came trough again. Go to bed with A/C..wake up and need the heater..crazy..Good luck to ya. Hope it isn't anything serious.

AAA agent said she was sending documents via DHL, but haven't received anything yet..I am hoping. Can't wait although it is hard to be excited when you have no voice..perhaps I could scream on here..only way I could..J/J guys..I woulnd't do that to you all. :cool2:

Sorry to hear that. Weather has been crazy here to! Hopefully he gets better quick!
 
Yes, the shoe organizer is for bathroom stuff to keep it off of the sink/vanity area. We used one on our last 2 trips and we love it!!

OK - I have a question for all of you LSU fans...do any of you go to Orange Beach or Gulf Shores, AL in the summers? QUOTE]

Ok...first off..where can I find a list of these tips? A shoe organizer..like the one you hang over a door? Give me more. This is my first offical "organized" trip. The rest were kinda just "lets get going." I looked at some trip reports but perhaps I overlooked them. I have always entered the parks with a few snacks and ponchos..but that is about it.

As for Gulf Shores or Orange beach..we used to go there alot..then found Destin. But I agree with the other poster..(forgot name..sorry) that Destin has gotten expensive and crowded. Last year we pulled the camper there for a week. The year before that we stayed in Pensacola. I have to admit though..lately I have been checking condos in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. We may return one day!!!
Until then..we are Disney World Bound...:cheer2:

We went camping in Gulf Shores last summer. We had a blast. I can't remember the name of the rv park off hand but I will look it up later if you are interested . It wasn't on the beach it was about 1/2 mile away and it was about $30 a night . We are going back in June. I need to make our reservations. We really liked to place.

Thanks!!! I hope you and your kiddos start feeling better soon too!!! I know, the weather is driving me crazy. I've had this cough since before Christmas!!! I just hope all of us get it done and over with so we'll all be GREAT for the trips!!!

Hopefully you'll get your docs soon!!! I just feel so much better having them in my hands!! Feel Better!!:hug:

I am sooo sorry-I hope it is a short lived thing!!
Hope he feels better ASAP!!

I will look up about Sunshine Rewards-hmmmmm....sounds lucrative....:scratchin

That's neat that so many of you have been to Orange Beach/Gulf Shores. We have gone there every years since 1992 (Except for 2004. We have some family friends that have a 3 bedroom condo that they let our family have a week for FREE!! It is so nice.

I'm so jealous of all of you who have already gotten your documents...I haven't even paid my final pmt yet. I will be paying it sometime this weekend. I am at 50 days today.

To the poster that wanted more tips...I have just picked them up from several threads. There is a an entire board with just tips on it. Just be careful or you will get caught up taking everything but the kitchen sink and only using 1/4 of it...that's what happened to me on our trip 2 years ago!!

I hope everyone gets better...the weather has been crazy here too!!
 
Thanks!!!! :hug: Did you find any pics yet???? LOL

Would you believe I can not find ONE recent picture of myself. Not a one, not even with my kiddos. So for now I am putting one up of my kids. Still looking though



This is my baby girl Alyssa this past Halloween.

It's good and if you do a lot of online shopping you can get a % back. I believe Disney Shopping is like 3%, not sure though, but there are a lot of companies that offer rewards. Let me know if your interested I'll send you the link
 
Hi! This is our first trip to Disney World (well, actually, DH & I went to Epcot after we eloped. Don't really remember it much. :) Our dates are 2/17 - 2/22.

We have two sons, one is 8.5 and the other will turn 7 on our first day there. TA helped me order a birthday cake and we have reserved dining for the Fantasmic show. Any other ideas to make that first day special?

Thanks,
Missy :^)
 
Hi, it's me again. I thought of another question.

We are just shuttling from the airport and don't plan on renting a car. However, for our "rest day" I would really like to pick some fresh oranges. I see there is a PYO grove just 10 minutes from Disney. Are there buses or shuttles or anything to area attractions? Or can we rent a car for just a single day at the hotel (Pop Century)? Perhaps a taxi?

Thanks in advance for advice!
Missy :^)
