Ok--so I just changed my DVC reservation AGAIN. They are going to ban me from calling. I decided to take my Mom after all--with a lot of maneuvering of points (and a very nice CM) we were able to get rooms (two studios-one accessible) for most of the nights we will be there at SSR. The first two nights we will stay at POFQ. I have to call and see if we can get an accessible room at POFQ--if not she will just have to "deal" for a couple of days--LOL. I had already bought the airline tickets and made ADRs for two. And, you never know when she will get to the point where she can't travel. So, I just called up this morning and did it.

That's so nice to spend time like that with your mom.:thumbsup2

DH and I rented a few points from a nice DisBoarder and spent 4 nights at SSR in a studio, just the two of us. We loved it and thought SSR was beautiful!:cloud9:

I hope you both have an awesome time.:yay:

I would love to buy into the DVC someday. My sister belongs, and doesn't use it. I secretly hope to buy her points, but she's not ready to give them up yet. Her home base is Key West, and I love that resort! :goodvibes

I'm having an ok day. Some of you will appreciate my frustration with the red tape of getting my son services. I have worked so hard to get things for him, and now, they are threatening to drop him completely due to budget cuts. I just got off the phone with the office of my representative, and they said that she will probably call me back this afternoon. They want her to hear my story. I hope I can affect good change. My only other hope, is to finally get an official diagnosis next week. The system sucks. He's so delayed, but if he doesn't fall into an actual autism diagnosis, he won't qualify for any services starting March 1st. I wish I would win the lottery, then I could protect my child's rights myself, and not have to depend on the government to do the right thing by us. :sad2:

The boys are down for a nap...I'm going to go take a bubble bath. I need some relief.

Enjoy your bubble bath. . . . .and keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out.
 

Morning everyone!

Turns out that I'm allergic to the antibiotics my doctor gave me. I'm covered head to toe in hives today and boy do they itch!

I hope everyone is having a great day!

Oh I hope you feel better soon!

That just is crappy..
 
Ok ladies, Drive-By Girl (MotoXPrincess99) and I have been at work on a "secret" project. This project is SOOOO secret that we can't post what it is on this board.

Just know that it is something fun and that a prize will be awarded at the Pizza Party to the lucky winner.

So, if you want to participate, please PM to me your email address. PM's are limited to five people each, so I think it would be easier to send you an email with the contest details and create an email list rather than do multiple PMs.
(I guess I'd better delete some PMs so there's room in my box!)

Void where prohibited. Odds of winning depend upon the number of participants. All rights reserved. No one under 18 allowed to participate. Violation of rules will result in Donald yelling at you.

Cheryl (and Sarah!)

Very cool. I'd love to rent points for our eventual WDW trip, but then...Coronado Springs and Caribbean Beach resorts look so awesome!!!!!

(yes we should do Values...yes we might do them...but right now in the pre pre pre planning stages I wanna stay at both of those Moderates!)

Are you going on the DVC tour?

Soooo...if you'll still be sitting at home while the pizza party is going on...don't enter?

We stayed at Coronado Springs in December and it was lovely. I think the Caribbean Beach looks wonderful too. We also stayed one night at the All Star Movies Resort, and we liked it too. Seriously, I think all the WDW resorts are just so cool, that we could stay at any of them and be perfectly happy!:woohoo:

I'd love to buy into DVC.....especially at the Grand Californian!!!!!!.....but we just don't have the money. Heck, we've never had the money to even stay at the Grand Californian for one night, let alone buy a DVC contract. I'm still going on the tour though, so I can drool. Remind me to bring a bib.:goodvibes

With Coronado, is that slide at the pool OK for a 5 year old? I know he'd have to go down alone, but could a 5 year old deal with it? That was the big draw, well and the grounds, but then I noticed someone saying something negative about younger kids and the slide...

I hadn't even paid attention to CBR until I realized that there's some huge rivalry between CSR and CBR, and that caused me to look at pix of CBR, and it too, is lovely!


What's funny is that I don't think I'd ever use DVC at DLR. I've never even been to WDW, but if we had a big windfall I would totally use it to buy DVC out at WDW, thereby making a commitment to go there at least once a year, sight entirely unseen! We're crazy like that. :) But there are so many other, cheaper, options at DLR I just can't see using it there.

Ha ha though, ask me after the tour, though!
 
ooooohh a top secret ultra cool project.. count me in!
 
Hi everyone! I have been taking a much needed internet hiatus. I just wanted to let you know I haven't disappeared altogether. I got my t-shirts made and am really looking forward to the trip, but my time on-line is going to be very limited between now and the trip.

If anyone needs me for anything, just PM me or email me privately at thedisneygal@cox.net

Hope everyone is doing well!

My five year old used the slide at CSR just fine. He went down it over and over again, although he did wear a lifevest. He LOVED it! I would think that if your little one was comfortable in the water, and comfortable with water slides, he would be fine. The only warning I can give you is that the water comes out of the slide with quite a force.....it really spits the rider out so-to-speak.

I know what you mean by the war that seems to go on between those that like CSR and those that like CBR - hahaha. We loved CSR, but in all honesty, CBR looked just as lovely to us, and we wouldn't hesitate to try it next time.

We would use DVC more at DLR just because we know we'd go there more often. It's expensive to fly to Orlando from Spokane, so unless we come into some money, we won't fly to Orlando more than about once every 3 years. On the other hand, we could fly down to Anaheim 1-3 times per year. The flights are cheap, and it's a much better use of our air miles too. Plus, I wanna stay at the Grand Californian......just once......whaaaaaaaa! (tantrum :goodvibes ) :laughing:
 
Callie! I've been missing you, girl! Have you decided if you're going into the park on Thursday? If so, let's meet up!
 
I know what you mean. My Mom will start to do something and I hate to see her struggle so I will try to help--but she wants to do it HERSELF, darn it! so you stand there and watch and wait. We've had a couple of tiffs about that because she gets mad and I get frustrated. and have you noticed that as they get older they become much more bold about asking questions? Nothing is off limits! :lmao:
Yeah, they will say anything! I'm telling ya it's just like kids. lol




Who is going to still be at DL on Monday? My flight doesn't leave until 5:30pm-ish. So, I will still be lingering until about 1-2pm.

Have a great day everyone!! Beth----good luck at the dentist! :hug:
Thanks. I'm back. My family is on the road and it's super quiet here now. Weirdly quiet. Maybe it's good because I have a headache from being so tense at the dentist.
Anyway, I will still be there Monday morning. Are you going to join us at Mimi's?



Morning everyone!

Turns out that I'm allergic to the antibiotics my doctor gave me. I'm covered head to toe in hives today and boy do they itch!

I hope everyone is having a great day!
Ugh, that sucks. I hope they go away quick!!

How fun! I'll PM you now.




Hi everyone! I have been taking a much needed internet hiatus. I just wanted to let you know I haven't disappeared altogether.
I was wondering about you. Hope things are well.
 
Hi ladies!! Happy Hump Day! :banana:

I was just wondering, is anyone getting in on Thursday and going to be in the parks for lunch but isn't doing the Princess lunch?
 
Ok everyone, team #5 is now

I wondered where you've been! How did the shirts come out? I'm going to do mine today or tomorrow, after I wash it.

Callie! I've been missing you, girl! Have you decided if you're going into the park on Thursday? If so, let's meet up!

I was going to ask the same thing! I need to put her name on our room, since she may get there before Heather and I.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Cheryl, do you still have my email? I can save you a PM if you still have it.
 
Soooo...if you'll still be sitting at home while the pizza party is going on...don't enter?


Winner need not be present to win!

Oh, and there's still time for those of you who haven't signed up for the DVC Tour to sign up. (Shoot--I think you could come the day of too.) Even if you don't think you would ever buy, it's a good time to get to see what the villas are like. Many people rent their points and it can be less expensive than making a reservation through central reservations with Disney. Plus the villas tend to be larger, and in the one bedroom or larger units there is a full kitchen and a washer and dryer. I'm still trying to wrangle details from my guide but hope to have more info this week.

Stacie: I have your email and will add you to the list.
