[MegansMom]

I think you might need all that popcorn to get through that lengthy update!!!!

Hi, Jen! I just wanted to stop in and say hello! I found my way here via timandlesley's report, so I hope you don't mind if I follow along. I'm very excited to hear all about your plans! My DH and I will also be in the World in September. (My Pre-TR link is in my siggie if you care to take a look.) It's always cool to see what others have planned who are going around the same time!

Thanks for coming over!!!! I am so happy to have you!!! How awesome that you will be in September too---I am going to have to hop over and hear all about your voyage to the Mouse's House too!!



HEY GANG---Can someone tell me how to make a link to a single post so that I can start a Table of Contents to my Update posts on my first page??? I know how to make a link, but can't figure out how to make a link just for that one post.......Please help....seriously confused me!

Hi Jen!

I saw your link over on Jackie's PTR and wanted to read. I am so glad you guys are able to go this fall - and I was so touched by your daughter's story. It's so sweet to hear that she loves WDW so much!

Great job so far! And I bet you will live the values...I too have often made the will-have-more-money-for-souvenirs decision and I think you guys will like it. Plus you'll be at WDW for 8 days and you can't hate that!

Looking forward to more!

Holy Cow! That was a MEGA update!!

I am so happy that you are going on this trip. I'm surprised that you chose value but you know, I think you will have a good time. If your heart is set on Pop, keep trying, I know sometimes people cancel and they have rooms open up. That happened with me during Free Dining last year.

I secretly wish you were staying at WL but there is always next time. Or resortitis....

 

[Roxychica7]

What suspense!!! Man, you got to the part about finding out after the break, and I was so mad! Then jumping around from resort to resort, until your final decision, gosh MM!
Still very touching about the story about you and Megs, I seriously can't wait to hear about your family trip, it's going to be wonderful!

 

[TarzansKat]

Wow, what an update. I'm glad you didn't do a cliffhanger, I would have died.

First of all, I love reading about your sweet family. This is a treat for me, and I'm so glad you started a PTR. Whenever I read something you wrote, your love of life and your gratefulness for what you have just shines right through, and it really makes me reflect on what's important.

And a resort reveal! With possible switching? Listen, I know you're into numbers (or your husband is ) but I can't recommend enough the free dining! You'll really, really enjoy it. And with the way you budget, I'm sure it'll be no sweat for you to figure out what you need for gratuity, and any little extras you might want. I love going during free dining, and it's just a wonderful time of year in the World.

I am however, saddened to see I'm missing you by one day. ONE DAY, WOMAN!!!! Ah well. At least you can clear the path for us, eh? Get all those CMs and characters ready!

I am so glad you came on over---WELCOME!!! Megan is our miracle....I am CONSTANTLY reminded of that every day....and I am eternally grateful that she is mine and that I have been given the opportunity to witness a miracle on Earth! She LIVES for "Mickey's House," and she can't wait to get back.....just wait until I tell you about the reveal for her....too sweet! I am hoping we are okay with the values.....we shall see!!!

Holy Cow! That was a MEGA update!!

You are NOT kidding!!! BUT, I just wanted to give you guys some scoop....didn't want to stop once I got going!

You are NOT the only one surprised by our decision to stay value....now will we stick with it?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I will keep trying for Pop---can I just keep checking online, or do I have to call??? Do YOU know how to link to a single post so I can make a Table of Contents???? I am wishing--not too secretly mind you--this were our WL trip too, but there is always NEXT TRIP!!!

What suspense!!! Man, you got to the part about finding out after the break, and I was so mad! Then jumping around from resort to resort, until your final decision, gosh MM!
Still very touching about the story about you and Megs, I seriously can't wait to hear about your family trip, it's going to be wonderful!

I hope what came after the break calmed your madness due to my faux-break!!!! Sorry to do that to you guys, but I want to keep it entertaining!!! Now, just because there is a ressie doesn't mean we have reached a final decision......Resortitis anyone?!?!??!?!

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, gosh, you and I were posting at almost the same time.

 

[maroo]

I am here!

I actually posted that yesterday, I think...but either the DIS died or my computer died...because it didn't post. And I almost remember thinking that I needed to go back...but I didn't...

anyway...

I am here! Subbin' in! Followed over from TK's report. I will be there in Sept, too...but earlier in the month.

Did you get your answer to linking the single posts? If not, let me know and I can PM ya an answer....

 

[pooh'smate]

I loved your super long post. I am looking forward to more long updates and seeing some of your lists.

P.S. The popcorn was good.

 

[Jennifer48]

First off a big to you and Megs.

Second a for not leaving me hanging with a cliffhanger!

Can't wait to hear about more plans!

 

[MegansMom]

Wow, what an update. I'm glad you didn't do a cliffhanger, I would have died.

I knew if I didn't finish that cliffhanger, you all would have just cause to hit "Unsubscribe" in a heartbeat!!! I wouldn't leave you all hanging like that!!! I know it was rather lengthy, but there was a history to this trip, and it needed to be told and relished by all to appreciate the greatness of the final booking!!! IT WAS A FEAT I SAY!!! OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!

We are so glad to be going during Free Dining, and even with all the budgeting and lists that will follow, we are still going crazy over the resort decision.....I just don't know. I think that I would have felt so much better had we gotten Pop, but now I am scared....downright worried about ASMO....more on this later!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE MISSING EACH OTHER BY A DAY EITHER!!!! When I figured it out, I was a little then a bit of this followed by and finished off with a little of this SO CLOSE...........and yet......SO FAR!!!!!!!! I promise to leave some Pixie Dust for you....and a Lapu Lapu or two!!!!

Oh, gosh, you and I were posting at almost the same time.

What can we say, great minds think alike!

I am here!

I actually posted that yesterday, I think...but either the DIS died or my computer died...because it didn't post. And I almost remember thinking that I needed to go back...but I didn't...

I got your post....but glad you posted again!!! Sorry to be missing you too!!! BUT HAVE FUN WHILE YOU ARE THERE!!!!

I did get an answer, and I am going to go try it out as soon as I am done with my replies! Thanks!

I loved your super long post. I am looking forward to more long updates and seeing some of your lists.

P.S. The popcorn was good.

I am SO glad it wasn't too long and put you to sleep!!! More than likely, the rest of my updates will be about that long.....I am a windy gal and very verbose!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your popcorn!!!

 

[MegansMom]

First off a big to you and Megs.

Second a for not leaving me hanging with a cliffhanger!

Can't wait to hear about more plans!

Thanks for the hugs!!! We appreciate them SO much!!!!

I wouldn't be able to show my face around these DISboards had I left you all with a cliffhanger like that!!! That would be SHAMEFUL!!!

I hope to update again soon!!! I feel like I have had such a late start on this PTR....much to share....much to say.....and little time to do it all in!!! I hope you all don't mind!!!

 

[jenjolt]

Ahhhh...Jen great update!! And guess what you will be there at the same time I will be there!! WOOT!! I wish you and your very special bunch a great trip filled with a ton of magic and even better memories!

 

[MegansMom]

I KNOW!!!! Do you think the world can handle this many Jens?!?!?!?!?! Should we call Mickey and warn him?!????!!

 

[pooh'smate]

I am SO glad it wasn't too long and put you to sleep!!! More than likely, the rest of my updates will be about that long.....I am a windy gal and very verbose!!! I'm glad you enjoyed your popcorn!!!

Well I would be the wrong one to ask if it was too long. I LOVE to read. I think it is one of the best things my mom ever got my brother and I into. So for me the longer the better.

 

[MRYPPNS]

Jen-
If you stick with a value you can aways drive yourselves to the parks since you will have your car. We did it in Oct and liked it better then the buses.

 

[heatherlizz602]

Hey Jen!!!

You were one of the first trip reports I started reading and loved!!!

I am so happy you got to plan another trip with the three of you. What a cute family.

I won't get to read too much of the PTR but I will be back just in time to read the TR!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Followed you over from CP's thread!

I just read your whole TR- Your family is aboslutely adorable, especially your little one. From a POP lover, i'm sorry they're were no rooms left... but i'm sure you'll have an amazing time with Plan B, ASM.

I can't wait to read the rest of the plans especially your adr's.
