Bounce Back

Dbf made me hang onto that Bounce back deal that was in our room, in the end we didn’t end up booking anything. However, during the course of that weekend, I decided I was going to get Free Dining in August 2010 for two weeks… and Dbf would join me on the last 4 days of my 2 week trip. As we all know, Dbf does not want to stay at POP again were going to spend the last 4 nights of our visit at the Grand Floridian.

Who’s going to stay with me during that first week and a half? Kelly. Here’s a recent picture of her in our hotel room enjoying the rooms champagne while we were in Montreal to see Miss Britney Spears VIP, ringside seats.

Here’s us together at a Christina Aguilera concert.

Kelly is my cousin who will be completing her last year of University at UofT this year. This 2-week trip will be like her graduation gift to herself

We are really close in age and we’ve practically spent almost every summer together minus this one. We always go to concert’s together, shop, the spa, go to the drive in, travel (we already have a trip to Cuba or the Dominican this spring break together). We just get along great, we laugh constantly and were both extreme girly girls.

You may be asking why I need some pixie dust?​

I was so disappointed with this past trip. I just didn’t feel like that weekend truly satisfied my WDW craving… and I most certainly CANNOT wait until August 2010 (even though 2 weeks is going to be amazing).

With that, Dbf has agreed to sit down and LOOK OVER OUR BUDGET after this weekend and see if we can fit in a 4-day, free dining trip early November. Please send some Pixie Dust my way, I have a lot working against it, but I’m hoping, wishing and praying that we’ll be able to go for 1 of our birthdays this November.

Just found your trip report and I can't wait to read more!

Sorry everyone about the packages, I should have been a bit more clearer. We got all of our shopping packages shipped to the hotel prior to our arrival because it saved us close to 90.00 in Shipping and Handling.

Wow! That was a smooth check-in! I would have been on cloud 9!

Traveling on that first day is so exhausting. We always have a lot planned but end up changing it because we are just exhausted.

I can't believe the shipping price difference! That is nuts. You should have done more online shopping.

I can't believe the make-up/hair ladies had no idea who you were! I would have flipped!!

I can only imagine what is up next....The dining room looks great!!

It was a smooth check in.. the best we've ever experienced in WDW. It's good to know i'm not the only one who has had to change plans on the arrival date. For all of our future trips, I'm going to leave that day open.

I know.. I wanted to do more shopping online but are tax exemption was only 300+ something.. i can't really remember!

I WAS FLIPPING OUT, I was so shocked on how rude they were on the phone.

Thanks, the house is coming along good.. just a few more accesories.

Oh, ya got me with the cliff-hanger!

I think it's funny that you say "pop" as in soda! I'm from WNY and I say pop too!
I was a little confused with all the packages too but it makes total sense now. Getting packages on vacation sounds like fun! Maybe I"ll try that

I always say Pop... I also think it's strange when i hear someone call it Soda.

It was fun actually... exciting.

I am gettimg very nervous for you! I am definitely sticking around until the end! I can't wait to see what the plans are for the next vacation...

Good, I"m glad!!! I posted them!!

I'm not going anywhere Rach!!! I need to know what happened!!! The suspense is killing me!! I'm just nervous that it has something to do with the resort and I am not going to want to stay there now... Please don't let it be that!!!

Thanks for the compliment on my name!!! My DS always has to point out that my name is just like the reeses peanut butter cup!! The things that kid thinks of!!

oh, almost forgot... Loving the dining room table!! it goes perfect with the light fixture!

I think things will be just fine when you stay there. This was our fourth time there.. and i think 3/4 isn't bad.

Ohhh kids..

Thanks, the dining room is slowly getting there...

Love the minnie dress - too cute! You are kinda scaring me about POP!! We arrive next Saturday - I must admit I was very confused about the packages that you had arrive - all I could think of was they brought their dog - lol. Don't think you are crazy to celebrate the dog's b-day - my kids can't wait to do that - actually we will celebrate the day we adopted him from the shelter as we do not know his b-day. Can't wait to hear more!!

Thanks, I love the minnie dress.. she looks so beautiful in it and her tail wags like crazy when I put it on her.

Don't worry about POP, I love it.. and I think your stay will be great!!

I really don't care if people think i'm crazy, she's a part of our family and i'm totally going to celebrate. That is so sweet that you's have chosen to celebrate her adoption date because yous are too sure about her real bday. awww...

Love the dining set! Very nice.

Yeah that was totally unprofessional.

Thanks..the dining room is coming along. Dbf was dead set against buying all new things.. but I KNOW he loves it.

I am reading along and have an ot question.

The wee tag under your name says "obsessive Cullen disorder" can I ask what that is?

My son is called Cullen and I was just interested to know as it isn't a name you see very often.

Kirsten

Hi Kirsten, It's a reference to the Twilight Series. That is such a nice name for your son, does it have a family meaning?

I'm going to guess it has to do with the Twilight books/movies. Edward Cullen is the main character and he has quite the female following for a blood sucking vampire I haven't read the books yet but saw the Twilight movie and am definitely a fan now lol

Your right!!! YOU SHOULD READ THEM!!!

ahhhhh, I see, I hope that doesn't mean the name is going to get really popular.

I dont think it will get really popular because it's his last name.

The dining room looks great!

Thanks Tink!

hey girl! just got all caught up.. I cant wait to read the rest.. it seems that you guys had a great start with your check-in... can't wait to read more!

SENDING YOU A TON OF PIXIE DUST!!!!!!!

 

[Zeebs]

Nope no meaning, he was suppose to be James Henry and then he was born took one look at him and said nope doesn't look like a James, now what will do. Back to the book and we found Cullen so Cullen Josh it was.

I love it but nobody ever gets it right. I think it is because I have a New Zealand accent. So actually nobody in the UK gets it right. Everyone in New Zealand does.

Kirsten

Oh some Pixie Dust heading your way.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Here's your pixie dust!! Hope it all works out for you! That would be a great birthday!!!!

 

[princess_momma]

I went and found all the smilies I could!



There's a wizard whose magical, lots of pixie dust, sorcerer mickey to help you out, a cat since the japanese think they are lucky, and a genie to help grant your wish as well.

 

[princess_momma]

Oh and you should totally post pics of the Britney concert! I'm so jealous!! Especially since you had VIP ringside tickets!!

LoL I hate her because she's mean and is not coming to my state or anything!! I wanted to see her so bad and I can't really afford to fly anywhere and see her just for that and all that costs that would go with that.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! It's not working that well tho, Here's his responce to the $$$ quotes I emailed him at work...

"We can talk about it after this weekend Rach… but I don’t want to be at Pop again. Heck, for $2-3K it’d be nice to go somewhere new for a change… but again, we can talk about it after the chaos of the weekend is over."

Nope no meaning, he was suppose to be James Henry and then he was born took one look at him and said nope doesn't look like a James, now what will do. Back to the book and we found Cullen so Cullen Josh it was.

Oh some Pixie Dust heading your way.

I think Cullen Josh is a really nice name, and def. not a common one. Good choice!!

Thank you for the pixie dust.

I"ll post a couple... I guess i shouldn't tell you i'm going again on August 21st here in Town with a bunch of girls from work.. but we just got cheap tickets this time around because we've seen the circus once already.

She was soo good live and absolutely beautiful.. her photos DO NOT DO HER JUSTICE. I'm so sorry she didn't come to near you.. although i dont think that was really her choice.

 

[tinkabella627]

Oh see I knew it made perfect sense. i had a feeling it had something to do with the shipping costs (after I signed off, it started making sense).

I am going to try and finish the wedding pics and reception post tonight and just use pictures that I stole from other peoples cameras just so I can get it done

I will keep my fingers crossed that you can go in November!! You think Aug 2010 is bad? I don't see us going back until AT LEAST summer of 2011 and hat is pushing it because I want to do a Disney cruise in 2014 (our 5 year anniv)

I had something else I wanted to write and of course I forgot... I am going to go do my post maybe I will remember. Oh and go see the puppies on my report!

 

[dreamer423]

Ok I have to sub b/c i like your name!!! I'm a Rach too. Mine is spelled Racheal.

Hope you're recovering. And sending major pixie dust your way!

So..What happened?

 

[DreaGirl]

Yeah!!! I hope that you can fit in a free dining trip!!

 

[iixheartxyouxox]

hey! just found your TR..can't wait to hear more and it sucks that you didnt have a great time but im sure next time you will make up for it!

 

[silverangel879]

Yeah, Two weeks at the WORLD + Free Dining!!!! Nice!!!!

 

[choirchic]

I'm so sorry things didn't quite work out this time around! Better luck next time...and we all know there's ALWAYS a next time with regards to going to Disney!

PS: BIG HUGS to you and your family for your Gram!
