Your daughter is adorable I think that is awesome that she irish dances I am right there with you waiting for a fall discount!! I hope we hear something soon so we can relax!! Happy easter!!
Happy Easter to you and your family!!
I always mean to tell you, right now DSs favorite movie is the football movie with The Rock. The little girl reminds me of your DD and I think he name is even Madison!
i am a little later but just started reading your PTR i am also going in sept and i am going nutts waiting to see if FD comes out or another discount!! I cannot take this waiting game any longer! I am going with my mom this year and we went ahead and booked already just in case. Your plans sound great so far
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!!
I'm hoping for later this month.
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.
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!!! 
However, we lost in overtime. 
I was pretty upset, but I had a great time with my teammates at the post game party.
(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. 
Sounds like a great Easter! We joined you with the extremely warm temperatures...that was so nice, wasn't it???
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!
Here is the link to the My Disney Girls. The dolls are sold in the parks, but you can buy them online too:
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
: If they offered the 4/3 deal and free dining, I may convince DH to upgrade to WL!! 
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. 
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.
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.
Awe, what an adorable haircut!! Madison has beautiful hair.
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.
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.
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!
I would take the Kids Stay and Play free or 4/3 deal or FD or a percent off...really not picky! 
Luckily, DD does travel fairly well.
