Good morning from CT,
Weather has once again become a topic up here. Back to single digits and possible new snow storm Wednesday. We need a smiley dressed in a parka or a polar bear smiley.
My family is sort of visiting WDW. It doesn't look like we'll make it into any of the parks this visit. Like Mickchick said
Marie, If feel for you and your plumbing nightmare!!! Thank God you have good neighbors because the cost of having to stay at the hotel on top of the plumbing costs! OMG. You hang in there.
Onto non-Disney stuff - I forgot Medieval Times was down there. It's quite a drive from Daytona but that is really something different for my family. I'm the only one who has ever gone. Nice tip Marie!
We may also due The Space Center. We did went two years ago and I was delighted to see how DD enjoyed it. I knew DS would. It is much more $-wise and the tickets are good for two days.

I hope this doesn't get lost in my long entry but have any of you ever gone to the Disney Store Outlet just off of the main Florida highway? What is the highway's name? It is within one the malls. The items are hugley discounted. They are the previous season's items. We got Jordan a beautiful Belle costume for $20 and it was origiuannly $85. They even have trading pins at a discount (not all but some). Check it out.
Toodles for now,
Dee

. We can't even look into passes at this point. What we are doing is Sunday after the cruise going to our yearly favorite, "Hoop-Dee-Doo review" and Chef Mickey our last day in Florida. Maybe we'll see if we can visit some of the hotels. We've never seen the AK or Dolphin and some others. Can someone not staying at the parks visit the hotels? Everytime we go to Chef Mickey they ask us at the gate our reason for the visit and expected time to leave so I'm not sure if we can visit. Anyone know?

What a shame your last experiences were like that. The clique factor exists in everything doesn't it? I'm the PTO president of our two schools and I have had parents say to me and have heard of parents saying to others that they will not join the PTO because of a cliques. If there are cliques in our PTO I'm completely unaware of it but I guess the perception of a clique can be just as harmful. I think that groupings may naturally be created by people just getting along easy but I, like you, feel this is a nice group of people and everyone will be made to feel comfy joining in even if a couple of people hit it off right away.

We fly in on Friday night and back out on Saturday afternoon. We just couldn't swing more vacation time, not to mention the expense. We were just there last March though and I'm sure we'll go again in another year or two so I guess I should stop feeling sorry for myself. 
The other dilemma is we would go on Saturday so we would have Sunday to relax before we head back to the airport. Problem: our hotel for Sat night is at Cocoa beach and it's already paid for (DOH!!!! 
Note to self-- when you do internet ressies, read the fine print AND make sure you really want the plan set in stone before you finalize it...). Since they refunded our fuel surcharge, I was kind of thinking that cancels out what I paid for the hotel, so it ended up even in the end if I decided to blow off that reservation. I have points to get a room at AKL if I REALLY wanted to so no "cash" out of pocket and I'd still have enough points for vacation plans. DH doesn't quite see it the way I do though and would want to drive to DW, drive back to PC, then back to MCO on Sunday afternoon/evening. So, at this point, I'm looking for an alternative to DW and thinking along the lines of adding Disney to the bounceback.
I'm one of those personalities that comes off as shy (and I've been told snooty though I swear I'm not) and quiet in the beginning. It takes me a while to warm up. But once you get me going I might not shut up! LOL
Michelle V, I'll have to add you. There are too many Michelles here! Although that was the same for me growing up. I was always Michelle H.! Drove me crazy!
