Sandy -

I won't quote all of your helpful posts today....but thanks for the WL info!! I spent some time on that thread today! I am so excited about WL!!!!



I am going to LOVE WL! I am afraid I am going to love it too much!


I am feeling MUCH better tonight about the SSR resort! I know more about it after some research and talking to a few folks tonight and can't wait to check it out!!!

oh really??


I guess I tend to run on at the mouth - or keyboard as the case may be!! Thanks for putting up with me!!

You are the Best!!

 

[that's nice]

I remember passing SSR when we were there last time... Both DW and I commented how it looked so nice. I just checked out some pictures on the website and it looks really nice. I think you will be happy here!!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Wow, congratulations!

I've actually heard that pull out couches at any of the DVC villas are very comfortable.

I mean if they weren't, people wouldn't book them or buy DVC, right?

 

[JPFamilyMom]

When are you gonna plan your January February and March trips?

We will be there March 6-14th. LOLOL

This is when we plan on going? Is someone doing the Princess half?

Maroo-this is how far I am as of right now, going back to finish, just thought it was neat someone will be there the same time as me.

***updated-finished reading*** Your dog is so cute, and I am so not a pet person sorry, don't kick me off your island for saying that. I do love a yorkie (my grandma's dog) and I'm sure my kids would LOVE your dog, they LOVE dogs.

Girl, you have some serious pixie dust Disney magic working for your. I can't believe all your good luck.

 

[If U Had Wings]

I am so excited!!

Um...right now I am at WL the 10th to the 15th. But...that could totally change once I get my schedule of what I am doing when...

Aren't you going to be there then too??

I am. I check in there on the 8th and out on the 12th.

to this crazy pre-trip report!

If you like a roller coaster, you will love this! It is always changing and definitely ups and downs!

oh really??

Takes one to know one! You are welcome anytime!

Woo Hoo!!! Thank you! I can't wait to see it!

Wow, congratulations!

I've actually heard that pull out couches at any of the DVC villas are very comfortable.

This is GREAT to hear!

I have been pretty worried about this. I figure at the very worst...we change resorts. If it is just horrible and we can't sleep...but we should not have any trouble!

Awesome!!

You are so not kidding about the pixie dust!

My "real life friends" think I am totally crazy...but the last two days they have been impressed with the savings "you get from hanging out with those crazy DEESers"

I am. I check in there on the 8th and out on the 12th.

I will be there really late on the 10th...really late. Not sure at all what my plans look like on the 11th and 12th yet...but we must have a DIS meet!

I never in a million years thought I would be staying at the WL! I am stoked!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

I can't believe you get to stay at 3!!!!!!!!! Deluxe resorts in the next 6 months!!! NO WAY!

AKL, SSR AND WL!! How fortunate you are! And I am confident that at least one of those will have a nice BB to suffice all our 2010 needs!

WL can't be anything but BEE-U-TEE-FUL at Christmas. Take loads of pix for us!!

SSR- Can I just be really, really honest here? Please no flames, but I'm not sure I'd have switched. Theming is paramount to me, and it just seems like POP has more Disney atmosphere. But, I know your point of going in Sept. is to RELAX, and SSR certainly seems like a nice place to do it.

AKL- What more can be said?? Cool!

 

[KathyRN137]

THE WILDERNESS LODGE!!!!!!


Which I understand is just wonderful at Christmas! Has the boat to go to MK. Relaxing. Relaxing. I love it! I love it!!! I am going to be at the MK several nights...because I love the MK at night.

And I got Courtyard View...because that is all they had. But I like that!!


Guys...I just can not wait!!!!!!!

I am so excited!

You will love the Lodge... we stayed there in '07 and I it!!

Wow!

Uh...I need a picture of this so I don't rub the wrong nose!!! :lmao

I have LOTS to do to read up on WL! I don't really know anything about it!

Here is Humphrey:

I got an email this morning...which I only checked just now...and I have been upgraded...from the POP for Free Dining...to.....



SSR with Free Dining!


But I need you guys to talk to me...DVCers...I need your help....

I know this sounds stupid. I will probably edit this later for its absurdity. But I am having upgraditis.... Is that a word???

Because when I was on the phone the CM assured me the Studio would still have 2 beds (and let me tell you...I was SOOOOOOO over the top excited about this upgrade!!!!!)....

...but I must not have been clear...I really want "real" beds? And the studio has the one bed and pull out sofa... I am not as excited about that? As even a POP room with 2 regular beds?

Tell me I am crazy....

Convince me I am going to LOVE the SSR so much that I won't care that I am on a pull out sofa!
[/COLOR]

We own at SSR!

The CM is mistaken; two queen beds are at OKW.

Studio (sleeps up to 4) 355 sq. ft.

Hark back to another era and stay amid the Victorian splendor of this quaint Studio that is an ideal retreat for your family.
Kitchenette with microwave, mini-refrigerator, wet bar and coffee maker
Queen-size bed
Double-size sleeper sofa
TV & DVD Player
Private porch or balcony

March 6-14.....This is when we plan on going? Is someone doing the Princess half?

We have gone the 1st week of March the last 2 years but DW hasn't done the Princess Half. We just like this time of the year. The parks aren't too busy yet, we get to leave the cold of CT, and my work schedule isn't busy yet.

Last year was definitely busier than March 08 though. I think the 4/3 deal was working for Disney.

Maroo
I just stayed at SSR in June. Granted we were in a 3 bedroom but one of the older boys slept on the pullout sofa and he never complained. Must have been comfortable as all the kids kept trying to sleep on it. The resort is beautiful and very peaceful. We were in one of the farthest buildings from the main building and the walk was fine. I even walked back from DTD one evening. I wasn't sure I would like SSR, but I really did.

 

[maroo]

PLEASE...guys...

Please pray for Rachel and her Mom, Joyce.

We are at the hospital. Rachel is the one I am going to Disney with in December. She has several medical issues.

In the last two days, Rachel has gone from talking to us (she is completely normal in her intellect and speaking, etc) to now not being able to speak in complete sentences. She is just saying random words and phrases. It is really horrible.

We are now at the hospital and they are running a bunch of tests.

Please, please pray for them.

 

[tinytreasures]

prayers sent for them

I have not been here forever
wow about all your upgrades
there is some pixie dust covering you for all the sweet things you do for us

Going to send you a pm with some specific March questions if you don't mind, and making my way over to your PTR

Prayers and good thoughts for Rachel

 

[maroo]

They think she simply has an electrolyte imbalance...which would be an awesome diagnosis...as all she really needs is some salt!

They are admitting her and giving her saline by IV and she is not better yet...but they said it may take some time.

Hopefully this will help her and we will get a fast response and an easy answer!

The other things the dr is considering is a brain infection and medication issues.

Thank you so much for your continued prayers!

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, Maroo. I will pray for Rachel and her family.

 

[If U Had Wings]

Maroo, my thoughts and prayers are definitely with her!

 

[jenb1023]

Still sending prayers! Keep us posted!

 

[eyor44]

Prayers said for Rachel and mom and Maroo. Hope they can get her settled real soon.

 

[KathyRN137]

Still praying.... hope she's in her room by now....

She's lucky to have such a good friend!
