Why don't you get your autograph books before you go? I got them last year on Ebay!

Do they have lots of different styles on Ebay? I'm thinking I'd like the ones that have a slot for a picture on one side and the autograph on the other. Did you see anything like that?

 

[skjj2009]

Can I join you?
We just booked our Jan 2009 vacation...first time with our kids DD 5 DS 3. I'm very excited.
We are staying at WL in a bunkbed woodsview room from 1/11-1/16. We are driving from chicago.
As for eating so far we are eating at MK with cinderella for breakfast on 1/13 and at Chef Mickeys for dinner on 1/14. That's it so far.
My kids don't know about the trip...my daughter would be driving us nuts everyday asking if it was time to go yet We are also going to surprise her the morning of the cinderella breakfast...its killing me not to tell her as I know she'll be super excited.

You sure can join us!! WELCOME to the Snowbirds!

I know, it is hard not telling the kids when you are so excited! We aren't telling our kids until Christmas morning!

I don't remember exactly what they had, but it wouldn't hurt to look! The one I got was really nice, it came with a nice lanyard and a pen and plastic carrying case!

 

[SplashMtnCrew]

WL concierge? Maybe we'll meeting in the lounge!

Yup, WL concierge level

What are your dates? A meet in the lounge would be fun

 

[SplashMtnCrew]

I'm going to see if I figured out how to post photos, hope this works
View of WL from boat to MK at dusk

I did it!! Hooray!

Thanks! We're off to a playground, but I'll look at the link later this afternoon.

Hi everyone!

Back from a long weekend where I visited my best friend. He turned 30, moved into a house, and threw himself a party. It was a bit of a whirlwind but I got home last night, safe and sound. Today's my EIGHTH anniversary with my husband!! We may have plans but, er, he dropped the ball so we might have to reschedule for another night. Worse case scenario, we'll get pizza delivered and watch a DVD or two. Could be worse!

And I didn't think about Disney all weekend! Am I okay in the head?

 

[ppan77]

What are everyones thoughts on Pirate and Princess Parties for January????We are going to be there from Jan 24-30th. We went to the second one last year and had a blast. MK was practically empty!

Hi Everyone!!! I just joined this board yesterday and it seems like a great place.

I will be going to Disney in January also DH, DD and I will be staying at the Caribbean Beach.

I have been a few times and stayed at Polynesian....DH has never ever been to Disney before I keep telling him he has no idea what lies ahead.

Happy Anniversary!

I find that when I don't think about Disney the time actually goes faster

You sure can join us!! WELCOME to the Snowbirds!

I know, it is hard not telling the kids when you are so excited! We aren't telling our kids until Christmas morning!

How exciting!!! Maybe I'll get the autograph books for their stockings and we'll tell them about it on Christmas as well!
I'm a bit disappointed today...yesterday I booked at WL and just booked the standard room so I could talk with my dh about the bunkbed room (our prior conversations he said not paying for the upgrade)...the room with triple A discount was a few hundred dollars cheaper. So last night he says book it. I call this morning. My TA doesn't call back so I call her by the time she got around to booking it there were no bunkbed rooms available w/ AAA discount not even for courtyard. So now we are back where we started albeit with a woodsview room instead of standard. We could upgrade to Poly where each kid would have their own bed or go to ASMu family suite where each kid would have their own bed also. UGH so frustrating! We had our minds set on it and thought it would be good with a 5 and 3 yo and now we are back at square one!

This is our first time to Disney (not mine or dh's but as a family)...can you give me information on the parties...I'm not in the know on everything that we should do with the kids so any tips are appreciated!

Keep calling back, something may open up!

Don't get too frustrated, remember you will be at Disney so it will be wonderful no matter what!

 

[KatiebugsMom]

I'm in south central PA. Just outside of Harrisburg, actually.

I also am a Penn State Grad. I earned my M. Ed. from Penn State, Harrisburg in 2003.

OK does it count that I married a Penn Stater who also got his M.Ed. from Penn State Main Campus in 1993..........and I live in the 'Burgh


Sorry guys can't join the club....I went to WVU and got an MBA!

 

[KatiebugsMom]

So I had the most awful dream last night. I think Katiebugsmom really has me terrified about the evening flight from Pittsburgh! I dreamed that instead of our non-stop flight to Orlando we had to stop at Atlanta and then there were no flights from there to Orlando so we flew back to PA. I don't think we ever made it to FL by the time I woke up this morning. Oh and there was a lot of snow in there to, in Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

You don't think I'm a little paranoid, do you???!!!

Shelly I am sorry!!! You know we will just keep thinking good thoughts....and you won't go thru what I did this past January.......


Come on Let's all sing........(Reggae beat) Don't worry...about a thing.......every little thing...... gonna be alllll right......


OK PSU Gaff Girls sing......SWWWEEEETTT Caroline!!!!!! OK I now need an Uncle Rocky's Cherry Soda from the Brewery and to think I could of gone to State College this weekend with my DH's frat brother's wives for a girls weekend but noooooo..... DD's daycare has a community day booth I volunteered for.....Sigh!
