Good morning, Js & Ks!

Good morning

I feel like it's been forever since I've been here....I've either been too busy or not able to log on Seems to be working fine now.

108 days until AKLV!

And, I've made a decision on my '13 vacation plans...I've decided I want to do the Princess Half Marathon again...Did it in '10 and loved it...'13 is the 5th anniversary so we're hoping they do something special....This years is this weekend or next, so shortly thereafter we should get some info on next years.
So it's probably going to be another no park trip again unless finances miraculously get better So we'll use our points to stay there, and rent out the rest.

Thanks so much! I've always wanted to stay at the AKL. My husband, on the other hand, says it's too far away from everything and that CL rooms aren't on the same floor as the lounge. I'm hoping to convince him with a sight-seeing trip to the Lodge.

It's really not that far away from things. By bus : 18 minutes to MK, 15 minutes to Epcot, 12 minutes to HS, and 5 minutes to AK. I consistently timed the rides. We never drive in Disney so I don't know the times for that.

CL is on the 6th floor so mostly all the concierge rooms are not on the same floor. They are all pretty close to the hub/lobby so it's not that far of a walk. We were on the 4th floor and it couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes. We were not on the elevator side so had to walk up two flights but it wasn't an issue. We went many times a day so it definitely didn't deter us.

I hope you can convince the hubby, it is such a fabulous place to stay.

Thank you Pam, Your cruise and WDW trip is really close now. How exciting is that! Have you started to pack yet?

Angel16

I am so excited! I have decided I should never book a trip a year in advance without some trips in between, which I had to do since the anticipation was killing me!

I'm a horrible packer, usually pack the night before. But I did leave things I would need in the suitcase from my Mexico trip. So a few things are packed The second I bring out the suitcase my dog gets sad, so I leave it to the last minute.

I'm still crossing my fingers my waitlist for CL comes through but I'm not counting on it. So excited to be back at Jambo House

Sounds like good plans A lot could happen between now and then, maybe the rental money could help pay for tickets.

You know it is a long way from "way out west" to Orlando. Have to make the trip worth it!

Angel16

Even if it's a long way, we start to miss our kitties after 8-10 days. Too bad we can't bring them with us!

Tell me about it! We have had a couple quick jaunts to DL, but our last "real" WDW vacation was in Jan 2010! Hopefully this will be our excess year of Disney trips!

Good Morning J's & K's!

I like the sound of that. Excess Disney makes me a happier person

Welcome back.

[dgbg100106]

Good Morning Kathy, Elin, Kim and all J's & K's!

Where is everyone today?

Oh yeah.......everyone but us is either at WDW or DL, getting ready to go to WDW or DL, on a ship somewhere enjoying a nice sea day or waiting on a grandbaby to be born. While some of us are working like me!

Have a great day!

Angel16

Sorry you had to work....

 

[dgbg100106]

And most important: If you plan on doing the work "together", work in marital counseling to the budget.

Now that is funny.

 

[dgbg100106]

I'm not at Disneyland YET! But we're on Harbor Blvd!

 

[franandaj]

Welcome Back Brandi! How was your trip?

....it's good to be back. My youngest DS, Dylan, went home early on Friday; we wasn't feeling well. He pretty much stayed in bed all weekend, but on Sunday evening came downstairs into the kitchen, where he told me that he felt like he was going to faint. No sooner than he stated that, he turned ashen and dropped backwards, hitting his head on the tile floor! Needless to say, we all rushed to him, putting a cold compress on his forehead and back of his neck, and gave him some Gatorade to drink. Well, we took him to the Pediatric Emergency Room at Hackensack Hospital, where I wound up spending the next 2 days with him. Thankfully, he is home now - the doctor's instructions were that he remain home today and no gym or strenuous activity for a week....

Hopefully he is doing well and feeling better. Prayers coming.

Welcome back.

Thanks Corinna, only 2 months for you!
