Viki - I'll be staying at OKW for that trip. I have family close by and I'm not sure what my schedule will be but we should be able to meet up. Dec. is a great time to go with all the holiday decorations and activities.

Tom - I own at OKW and BWV but POR is still one of my favorite resorts. I stayed there last Dec. It always seems so quiet and relaxing. I love going for long walks there early in the morning or late at night.

I have started a Friends of Dorothy Thread on the Cruise Board under cruise meets for the September 17, 2006 11 day. If anyone is interested in meeting others on the cruise, please post there.

Thanks, Hazy, I hope we ALL have a good time. This is the trip I've planned to help our friend Danny fall in love with WDW. He currently hates the idea, sight unseen. In fact, I never thought he'd join us, but last summer, just as I told him he was always invited, but I was never ASKING him again, he flipped and capitulated. So his joining us is a small victory, now if I can only get him to love it!

Well, a girl can dream!

 

[Hazy]

If this trip doesn't do it, I don't know what will!! This trip is a dream!
Great planning. If he doesn't enjoy it, please don't let it bring you down on the trip. You have to enjoy it yourself too.

Hello!
I just found this thread and decided to "pipe up." I'm never on this section of the DIS because myself and my partner of 15 years have 2 children ages 6 & 9 so there's not much adult-only time going on
We will be at WDW October 15th-21st and we can't wait! We will also be in NYC November 13th-15th. I have to say that trip hasn't seen half the planning that the WDW trip has. I wish there was a NYCboards

Michele

Hey Michele! Nope, there's no NYC board like this, however, if you want to ask planning questions or get tips about New York, don't hesitate to ask. My partner of 15 years and I live in Forest Hills, Queens, NYC and both work in Manhattan. Be glad to help out!

 

[RickinNYC]

And you can add Joe and I to a future Disney cruise, perhaps in late summer 2006 or sometime in 2007.

 

[RickinNYC]

Ack! Check out my upcoming WDW trip countdown! Woo hoo!

 

[donald...really]

To all of you Someday Cruisers. Join us on the 11 day Wonder cruise next September. We will have a blast!

 

[Hazy]

I agree with Donald, join us on the 11 nighter! At least book it, you can always cancel.

Hazy

 

[Saxton]

Viki - I'm totally impressed with your schedule. You're either going to win him over with all the activities or you'll wear down his resistance through sheer exhaustion!

Add me on to the cruise someday list! Some friends are doing the cruise in October and I can't wait to hear their review.

I don't even know where to start - the only thing I know for sure is that we are coming in on Nov. 13th and that we have tickets to Wicked (our girls know every word and that's the one thing they absolutely wanted to do)

I guess the first thing I need to do is book a hotel. Any suggestions on something that's not terribly expensive but not skanky either?

TIA!
Michele

Hey there. Go to hotels.com and check out hotel rates there. I suggest you look for places in the midtown area. Put a list of them together and let me know and I'll give you an idea of the "skank" factor!

My partner and I are going to Disney this Sat. Oct 1st until Thursday Oct. 6th. This is our first trip to Disney together(I went 15 years ago and he went about 12 years ago). After reading all of the great info on these boards, I've been driving him nuts with all of my planning. I'm not usually a planner but want to try and have as smooth a vacation as possible. Staying at POR and looking forward to getting nuts at Pleasure Island on Monday Oct. 3rd! Can't believe I leave this Saturday!!!!!! Hope everyone enjoys their trips!

 

[joanjett1976]

Hey Big Tigger! Have a great time and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions
