[MelXThree]

I just have to say that all this code talk is driving me CRAZY I have become a Dis Lurker just waiting and watching I just want it to be over OK my venting is over, on with my day

 

[pamouselover]

Ohhh! If you haven't checked out the Codes and Rates section for Jan Code Watchers you are missing out on some BIG info! It seems a CM spilled the beans about a BIG DISCOUNT coming out. The CM said that they are doing training today for the deal and that it should be up in less than 72 hrs. AND that it was going to be better than the post 9/11 discounts. Those discounts were buy a 4 day package get upgraded to a 7 day package FREE! What could be better than that? Do I smell free dining???


I'm so excited....GO, Go and read it!!!

If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World in the first half of 2009, watch this space for a HUGE deal! I expect this exciting new offer will be released on Thursday, November 5.

I hope I can get in on this. I was on the phone twice with disney travel last night, no one said anything to me. I would not expect free dinning. But room discounts are more likely. I belive that is what they did after 9/11.

I can't believe how lucky you are that your 5 year old still takes naps! DD9 was done with naps before she was three, and DD6 was done shortly after 3! Enjoy your downtime!

I think she meant her daycare girl who is around 18 months, rather than her own kids. I wish my 4 year old son still took naps- he's playing Thomas trains quietly though while mommy has some down time.

Yes. It was the little girl I babysit who was having the nap! My girls were both in school today! My 5 yr old will actually nap if she is tired enough! She is and always has been a great sleeper! Slept through the night at 7 weeks and will now sleep for 12-13 hrs at night if I let her! Not so much with my 7 yr old! She hates going to bed! She would read all night if she could get away with it!

Well, it is still raining and the girls have decided they do not want to go to the library so they are playing with a new playmat (one of the kinds with roadways on them) in the living room while I catch up on the DIS!
I have a coffee date with a friend this evening at Starbucks! Well, gotta go get started on supper! TTYL

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

Under that definition I think we are all a little "sick". What woman doesn't need one of those days to get caught up on all the "little" details?? BTW, does Dis qualify as "little details" Hope your enjoying your day!

I need more than a day-today I think I could keep busy for a solid week and never stop!! And yes, Dis does qualify as little details!!I am considering staying home from church tonight I know, back-slider!! I just feel kinda yuck--I think maybe I should go to bed early. I don't think I am coming down with anything, I think it's mental wear & tear!!! ooooohhhhh then I could get up and on those phones early tomorrow!! So, let's speculate shall we? What deal do you 'birds think it will be. I am hoping big-free dining and park hopper upgrades---or 40% off rooms and free p.h. upgrades. We can dream right


I guess this could be the QOTD!! We don't have one do we?

 

[Philharmagiclover]

While I seriously doubt they will offer free dining I would be thrilled to get three days free and some type of ticket "perk". I have actually been running the numbers using various scenarios to see what would work best for us! This is truly an illness but thankfully it will be over tomorrow....or least we think!

Shawna, dear- Do not feel bad about staying home from church. I know that our lifestyle is very similar and I HAD to do the same thing two Sunday's ago. I was just physically and mentally exhausted. Burnt out, to put it bluntly. Everyone needs a break sometimes.

QOTD:
I'm hoping for 40% off rooms & PH upgrades, myself. I will save more money that way. It's a selfish wish, really....

[mari360]

hey all i'm sitting in the food court of my nearest mall and wanted to let u guys know that the dis store is having 25% off most of their toys...just incase someone wants to go buy stuff for xmas.

 

[Dancegrl624]

Every time someone mentions the Disney store, I get so sad. Mine closed and the nearest one is in Syracuse. I sure do miss it.

Thanks for the info Mari! Too bad they closed all the Disney stores around here.

I'm sure someone will be able to take advantage of this though!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I am so excited to see what tomorrow brings(for WDW offers)!! I sure hope it's not a huge letdown like last Thursday. . . and Friday. . . And Monday. . . and today!!

 

[steffali]

I was just at the mall today and shed a tear for the closed Disney Store

 

[mari360]

wow.... sorry to hear they closed the stores around you guys... i must be lucky I have 2 withing 30min from me....

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

wow.... sorry to hear they closed the stores around you guys... i must be lucky I have 2 withing 30min from me....

WOW that is lucky!! We only have one left and it is on the south side of Pittsburgh. I live 45 north of the city. Too far!

 

[trixiequilts]

You seemed to have caught on to the right of every Aunt to spoil their niece or newphew right way LOL!!! Nice choice on the outfit Have to make sure to raise the kid right...I mean GO BIG BLUE!!!

Shouldn't that be GO GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh boy, here comes the fighting we've been so fortunate to NOT have on our thread! I'm from Michigan and I'm totally neutral. See how easy it is?

I promise to behave. Like my location says I'm a Spartan living among buckeyes so I know how it is to be odd girl out.

 

[jenjolt]

I too will behave!! I live in Florida and enjoy the Gators and Wolverines...talk about a rivalry from last year LOL!!!!!

 

[Philharmagiclover]

I'm new to Wolverine territory so I will claim nuetral and behave as well!

 

[danceintherain]

I just thought I'd respond to the part I've read thus far (pg 129), because I have to go to work and when I have quotes saved on here I forget why I quoted....

Yes I did...they just added Passholder Dining discount to my reservation. My total package for dining, insurance, and reservations for 7 nights came out to less than $800.

Hmm... that makes me think. I'll have to discuss it with Logan, because he loves the idea of Dining, but I don't want to pay everything by the end of this month.

Aaargh, you are seriously tempting me! I know they would be tons of fun! The Ohana breakfast might work, if we could get a ressie prior to going to MK. The girls are not that much interested in princesses anymore, plus they do not speak much English, so a character meal with non-speaking characters would work best for us. On the other hand, if there was an HSM or Hannah Montana breakfast available, I'm sure they would miraculously speak fluent English

I just realized you're from Finland. You should research some of the other restaurants. Cape May Cafe at the Beach Club has a character breakfast, and so does Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary.
