January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part I !!!

[BellaSoleil]

I was looking at the room decorating package too but I'm wondering what it includes and what the cost would be- of course they don't put THAT on the website! Perhaps I'll have to make a phone call tomorrow to find out more. Let us know if you find out first!

They didn't have that information yet. The sweet CM sounded really embarrassed that they didn't have "their stuff together" and so I didn't push it. She took my number and said someone would contact me soon. I'm sure it will be a bit pricey, but I'm just curious as to what it entails.

Boy, have I got a cranky little girl tonight. I will talk to you all tommorow.

We will be there on our wedding anniversary! (#23) Does that get us anything fun?

Great news today! Our Southwest airfares went down by $60 PER PERSON for our flight to Orlando! WooHoo!! That is $240 credit!

WoW What a great deal!! I keep checking on my rental car in hopes it will go down!! Just think of all the Disney stuff you can buy with that savings!!!

She found out you are going to Disney without her LOL!! Just kidding! Have a great evening!

I'm so excited! I just got Belle a ton of winter clothes at Old Navy. They are having a 40% off baby/toddler sale right, in case anyone is interested.

Yay Old Navy!

I probably should get Ry some more jeans. Do they have their winter coats out . . . Oh! I just remembered that you're in Louisiana No need for insulated outwear down there, huh?

Not unless you're Bella! She's probably wearing a coat with her Uggs already!

So after hearing about the birthday stuff I thought I'd check the academic calender for my birthday in 2009... and it happens to be during our Fall break!! So I'll have 4 days of of school and potentially more depending on my schedule, and if I could miss a few classes. Now I just have to find someone to go with I don't think my BF will be ready for a second trip that quick! And my mom is struggling with a difficult recovery from a car accident so she may not be up for rides by then. I might even go by myself! How exciting!!

[Northern Disney Girl]

Wow! Y'all filled up almost 5 pages today! What with the updates to the "lists" and all the hullaballoo over the big "announcement" you all were a bit chatty today! Hope everyone had a super day! Mine was incredibly busy - this is the first chance I have had to sit at my computer all day! Just now off to bed! Good night snowbirds!

Welcome back - I've wondered how you were doing!

Wonderful news about your house and your electricity - thanks for keeping us posted, we've been a little worried about you and a lot praying for you....

Thanks for confirming my memory of a sky ride! I was starting to think I was crazy.

Old Navy doesn't have their winter coats out yet. We look for them and stock up every year. I did get Belle a fall coat, which translates into winter coat for those of us in the muggy south. Here it is:

Not unless you're Bella! She's probably wearing a coat with her Uggs already!

Haha, Trixie! I actually haven't broken out the Uggs just yet. Come Mid-October....it's officially Ugg time! I did dress Belle in a cardigan to school today. It's a chilly 70 degrees outside.

That's great news!! I'm still hoping for a Ding for my flights. I'm thinking I will get one since we are flying mid-week!

Good Morning my fellow Snowbirds!

It's Friday, (I will completely ignore the fact that it is Pep Rally day at my school which means at the end of the day I will lose my hearing for the weekend)

BellaSoleil..just have to say I just got done reading your PTR and I love it!! I also love looking at your pics of the clothes you have bought, now to just convince my hubby that I actually do need a new wardrobe for Disney~~

Have a great day guys I'll be on and off all day!!!

 

[pamouselover]

I thinkit is good if you live in Fla. and can go for one day.But not if you are planning a trip for a week.
I am going to book my trip next week. I am calling today and making our ADR's.

Congratulations!!! Let the Obsessive Compulsive Over Planning begin ( or is that just me LOL) It is way too much fun planning for these trips!!!

 

[jenjolt]

Okay Snowbirds I need your help!! My hubby just emailed me and said that as a surprise for my birthday and anniversary (which he has decided would be a good time for a hunting trip, hence the solo trip to Disney) he wants me to splurge on one more dinner or lunch. I had planned on four table services during my stay and have booked the ADRs, but I have no idea where else I shoud try. So I thought I would ask you guys...where do you think I should go???
