Thanks for reading! When are you going on your trip? I just want a fall discount announced already. At this point, I don't care what it is, I just want it!!!
 
oh i hear ya!! I will take whatever for a fall discount!! They just need to hurry up and give it to us already LOL oh the suspense!!:scared1:
 

Hope you guys had a great Easter!! I love Disney books too, even if it is all stuff we already know, they are so fun and just the thing to get you excited for a trip! I just finished reading your last TR (pretty much in one sitting lol), and I loved it! I think I want to get some Disney books to look at while we are waiting in lines, such a good idea! I love the Hidden Mickey ones too.

Tell me about it!!! The chatter on the FD boards is that a fall discount won't be released until 1-later this month or 2-not until May or even June! :eek: I'm hoping for later this month.

We had a very good Easter. Disney books are THE best! I'm almost done with the new UG, but I don't read every little bit anymore. I think I read the 2009 edition 3 or 4 times! :rotfl: I'm so glad you liked my last TR. We had so much fun. The Hidden Mickey book really kept Madison busy. She has a lot of fun looking for them.
 
Hello everyone! Well, we had quite the weekend around here, so I decided to share with you.

Madison didn't have school Friday and it was almost 80 degrees here. I had to go get my hair done that morning (root touch-up and I had them straighten my hair too) and then we ran some errands. When we got home, we decided to spend some time outside. We got Madison a new bike for Easter last year and we took the training wheels off at the tail end of the summer. She wasn't really getting the hang of it, so we kind of gave it a rest for the time being. Last Friday, we decided to give a try again. After only a few minutes, she was riding all by herself up and down the driveway!!! I was SO proud of her! I was even teaching her how to turn and she was really improving.

On Saturday, we reached 81 degrees!!! It was absolutely beautiful. I had a game that night, so we colored Easter eggs that morning. We had a lot of fun writing funny things on them with our white crayon! I had to leave my house around 2pm (yup, we have to be at the arena around 4-5 hours before game time) and Tony took Madison to the playground. They came to the game that night and it was great to see them. :goodvibes With less than 2 minutes left in the game, the Bandits (my team) were down 11-7. In the last minute and a half, they came back to tie the game!!! :cool1: However, we lost in overtime. :sad1: I was pretty upset, but I had a great time with my teammates at the post game party.

We woke up early on Easter so Madison could search for eggs and her Easter basket before church. The Easter bunny brought her a chocolate cow, chocolate gorillas and lots of Nestle crunch eggs. Tony and I got her a collector tin of Gogos Crazy Bones (I don't even know how to describe those things) and a Princess Jasmine outfit for her American Girl doll. She was beyond excited. When we got home from church, Tony wasn't feeling so well, so he didn't come with us to my sister and BIL's house for dinner. He had a sore throat, body aches and a fever. :sick: (he's feeling a bit better now). I felt bad to leave him home, but he said he'd be fine. We had lots of delicious food at my sister's house and had a great time with our family.

So, that was a recap of my weekend. I hope you all had great weekends too. I have nothing to report on Disney planning right now. Just waiting for Disney to release their fall promo! I know they are focused on filling their rooms for summer dates, but I'm sick of waiting around. How many offers are they going to have this summer?! They have already had the GC offer, room only discounts (a few of them) and the Disney Visa has the kids stay, play and eat for free out right now. Not to mention pin codes for free QSD and room only (like the 20/30/40 pin I have, but that pin was good for most of the year). If all those deals aren't luring people in, I don't know what will!
 
Sounds like a great Easter! We joined you with the extremely warm temperatures...that was so nice, wasn't it???:goodvibes

The Jasmine costume for your DD's American Girl sounds like a great Easter gift. You will have to post pics!:)

Hang in there for the Fall deals...I know it must be frustrating, but they are bound to come. Ever remember when Easter dates were discounted? WDW is obviously still not back to regular volume (or at least price levels). Fall discounts are just about guaranteed I would think!;)

The temps this weekend were great! It was even quite nice today...just a bit windy. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, Thurs and Friday..but Wed is supposed to be 76 and sunny. :goodvibes Here is the link to the My Disney Girls. The dolls are sold in the parks, but you can buy them online too:

My Disney Girls

Scroll down a bit and you'll see the costumes for the dolls. They are so cute!

Waiting for fall promos is getting to be annoying, but we're going no matter what. I just want it to be released so I can relax a bit!

Sorry Meghan - I should have clarified. I meant a picture of your daughter with her doll with the costume on.;)

I actually saw those costumes in the past in the Parks and saw that they added them to the Disney store as well. I will be getting my DD the Snow White one in the parks next month so I don't have to pay crazy shipping and taxes to Canada.;)

I am sure it must be frustrating waiting for the code...I have been there before! But as long as you are flexible on locations and room types if necessary I don't think there is any doubt you will end up with a discount!:)

I will try my best to remember to take a picture!!! The costumes are very cute. I'm very flexible on room locations, types, etc. I just hate playing the waiting game.

Could you share something that happened in your church on the Easter Day?
 
Love the ADRs you have chosen. I am still hoping for FD. There is so much speculation going around on the DIS boards that I am avoiding them (meaning the FD threads) at the moment. I am sure Disney is going to release some discount for when we are traveling--hopefully it will be FD since they have offered it for the last 4 years. :goodvibes: If they offered the 4/3 deal and free dining, I may convince DH to upgrade to WL!! :cloud9: :lmao: I highly doubt it is going to happen but it would be great if that would happen. Someone was saying how full the resorts are this fall so Disney is not going to release anything but I would really like to know where people are getting their information. Disney has taken a hit in the down economy, so I cannot believe they would not keep running deals. I wish the offer would be released already too. I am holding onto hope that they will release it before the 45 day pay off mark comes. I do not want to go through the hassle of getting a refund.

Awe, what an adorable haircut!! Madison has beautiful hair.

:woohoo: for getting a great price on plane tickets! Those are much better than what we can do at the moment. We are set driving, DH told me to stop looking. :lmao:

I love Disney books! I just both the Color companion to UG. I have not broken down and bought the 2010 edition of the full book since I have with Kids 2010 edition. It keeps tempting me though. :rotfl:

Happy Easter! I sure hope the weather is staying warm and pretty for you!
 
Hooray for Madison learning to ride her bike!!!!

Crossing my fingers for some fall discounts for you. :goodvibes

I'm just ready for ANY fall discount. I really don't care it it's FD or not anymore. Tony said it really doesn't matter since we got such a great deal on airfare. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that something will come out by the end of the month. I don't think I could ever drive to WDW, so kudos for that!!! Flying is SO much easier (and cheaper) for us. Buffalo usually has great prices to Orlando and we have lots of airlines to choose from. I just finished browsing through the color companion and it has a lot of the same stuff as the regular UG. Lots more pics though and funny little side comments here and there.

She is a great bike rider now. I'm such a proud mama!
 
Wasn't this past weekend gorgeous?! It got even warmer here, new record highs! I know Saturday the official high was 86! IN ROCHESTER! IN APRIL! ...I hope it doesn't snow again!!! ...pixie dust & fingers crossed!

This past weekend was amazing!! I'm pretty sure Buffalo broke records on Friday and Saturday. It was supposed to be nice today, but now they're calling for rain. At least it's still supposed to get into the 70's! I can't believe we didn't have ANY snow in March. That was pretty awesome.
 
Have you seen any talk of free dining coming out at all that might help for your trip? I received an email pincode (30/35/40) today and it bums me out we probably cannot use it. Hoping you see a FD one soon! :)

Most people think that fall discounts won't be released until the end of April or early May. Disney is really trying to fill up their rooms for May, June, July right now (so I've read) so they're not too focused on fall yet. Again, I'm not worried since we're going to Disney no matter what. :goodvibes

No kidding--they released another discount for May/June. They must really be hurting to get the numbers they want for the summer. I am like you, I just want SOME discount. :goodvibes I would take the Kids Stay and Play free or 4/3 deal or FD or a percent off...really not picky! :rotfl:

I am trying to think of the driving as part of the experience itself--we shall see how it goes. :rolleyes1 Luckily, DD does travel fairly well. :wizard:

I have it with me here in NC but have not had a chance to read the color companion. Have you looked at the full UG and the With Kids edition? I have not compared them side-by-side. I am wondering how much of the other information would be worthwhile.

I don't know about you, but I am so thankful we have DIS to discuss and read through. I know the thing with the guidebooks is they are not going to have any of the information (well very little) about the Fantasyland expansion, the closures that go into effect soon and the general shuffling. :disrocks:
