[MaryAz]

Can I guess 7?

Joining the contest! My guess is 9 steps.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I am guessing 4 steps

I just entered you into the book at 4 steps. Thanks for playing!

Oh have fun!!! I used Minutemaid lemonade.
If you like Kir Royales, you can pick up champagne (Moet Nectar Imperial and White Star are fantastic) and chambord.

I'll be heading to the grocery store as well!

I am new to your TR-followed you over from MeMom's report-I can't remember if I already posted that or not, so if I did please forgive me. I seem to be losing my mind!

My guess is 73 steps.

Also, I see from the comments that there are several teachers here-I want to ask: Do you take time off from school or do you only go to Disney during school vacations? I was a teacher-currently at home with my kids. When I ponder the idea of going back to work I worry about when I could fit in a Disney vacation....Is that normal??

Don't worry there are more than a few of us losing our minds over here! I don't think you have posted though.
I've got your entry of 73 steps!
Since Shocker (my dh) and I both teach, we do take our trips during school vacations. We have been able to take a short trip in the fall by combining a comp day for conferences with a couple of personal days to get us a long weekend for food and wine.
I don't blame you a bit for considering Disney trips when considering going back to teaching. I so wish we could go in the off season.
It's just not going to happen for us.
We are fortunate to be able to go as often as we do though.
Even with the busy parks, with a good plan you can do everything you want to do.
We are proof of that!

Not a chance on my two. Chelsea is pretty particular about her stuff, but Connor is hopeless. I made him clean his room Christmas Eve because I told him Santa would not be leaving anything if he peeked in his room and saw that mess. It has already reverted back to its former state.

That sounds just like Baylor's room. His won't be cleaned until he wants to invite a friend for an overnight....

When I asked about them in Mouse Gears I was quite excited when the CM told me that I might want to check out the shops in the countries of WS!

I am so far behind. I want to go with five steps (here is to hoping) let me know if it is taken.

5 steps belong to you!

Still not talking... she must have been down right naughtY!

For some reason she is mad at me.....

Can I guess 7?

You can, and you are down in the book for 7!

Joining the contest! My guess is 9 steps.

Got it! You are in the book for 9!

What a mean parent. A trip to Disney world, over the holidays, with her family and darling niece. Paid for in a two bedroom villa overlooking an Safari.... you have got to be kidding me... what mean parents.

I just happened upon your TR while doing a search for something else. But, I think I might just stay! I can't believe it hasn't even started and is already 10 pages- yikes!
I'm going to enter as guess as well- 11 steps- if that's open. If not, whatever the next lowest number that is open! OK, gotta try to find what I was looking for in the first place!

You know I spent a lot of our trip confused by her anger....

I'm so glad you found your way here, even if it was by mistake, I've got you down for 11 steps.
Good luck in your search!

So I want to hear some comparing... likes dislikes of AKV and BC, will I get that friend? My family is already asking me where we are staying when we take my parents, and I am curious to your ideas. I secretly hope you liked AKV... although I know you love BC!

We also want my cousin to do a Disney Destination wedding.... that was part of our big push this Christmas. His girlfriend loves Disney (I have not met her yet) and they are headed there for her birthday in Jan.

Always looking for a trip to the World I guess!

I am a teacher and can only go during the summer. In my district we aren't allowed to put personal days against vacations. I also fly in from the west coast so a long weekend isn't worth it. I do two weeks during the summer to get my fix in and then we go to Disneyland at Christmas.

 

[jordanyosh]

I didn't even know this had started!

Okay here now.

 

[jewjubean]

Did I tell you?
Oh man.....

Nope You didnt, BUT I might have a unfair advantage knowing how your check in went and other details of the trip.And as party of the family I am disqualified.

 

[eandesmom]

Oh my goodness. I get behind on my own PTR and you've got 5 pages just since you posted the question!

132 is my guess.....

Feel free to stop by by PTR and help me out with my AK dining dlimena!

 

[MEK]

the main elevator, huh? Are you going to post any of your savannah view pictures before January 6th, by any chance? ( Can you tell I really want to win this? )


I am going to reserve my guess until the end of the contest, but you KNOW what I am thinking!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessCaitlin]

I want to get in on the fun

I am going to say 15 and if that is taken put me down for 16

I am so excited to read your trip report I love pictures of Disney at Christmas time!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Geeze! It took me like a day to get behind on your TR!!!

Hmmm, how many steps?! Well, I know one person said that if it were too many you wouldn't have counted. Which makes sense but I know some pedometer have a step counter. My gut tells me to say 101, like in Dalmations!!

I remember our walk from the lobby of Jambo House to our room back in 05! I swear to you it felt like it was a 1/2 mile!!!

Everytime someone mentions Kidani I get a little flutter of excitement!!! 9 more days!!!!!!

 

[wsushocker]

what mean parents.

"You can't make me have fun in Disneyworld!"​

 

[Happydog]

Everytime someone mentions Kidani I get a little flutter of excitement!!! 9 more days!!!!!!

You are SO going to enjoy Kidani! I have only visited there, but I want to stay there some time, too! We have been to Sanaa a few times (3!) and loved the animal viewing area and the Lobby! Way cool!

But those corridors are MILES long....

WIGD -- we parked as soon as we got into the gate at Kidani Village for dinner at Sanaa -- not aware that the lobby and the restaurant were on the OTHER side So we ended up walking inside the building vs. in the sweltering heat!

 

[addictedtothemouse]

I guess 113.

I understand your worries. I stopped teaching for a few years and we went to Disney twice in January. Now that I am back to work we have to travel during vacations and I was concerned about it. My district doesn't allow me to take personal days near vacations or more than 3 in a row so that makes off season or long weekends almost impossible. We went last June and yes, it was HOT and more crowded but surprisingly, both DH and myself commented that we had more fun! So it is definitely doable!
By the way-I see you are from Southeast Virginia....I am in Suffolk-where are you?

I am in Newport News! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away-or a bridge-tunnel! I have been to WDW in January, February, and October. Surprisingly, the first October trip was the coldest! The second October trip was HOT. We are thinking of going in August this year. The heat I am not so worried about. The crowds I am. I am interested to read this TR to see how much was accomplished!

My guess is 42. (since it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Douglas Adams!!!!

So long and thanks for all the fish!
