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

[crzyred]

Thank you so much crzyred for your response. It does answer some of my questions. I can't wait to see some of your photos if you wish to share. I think it is great you have a lot of individual pictures with 'simba' so it should mean that the CMs will take their time with you. I often worry about that. I wonder if there will be long lines if the photopass catches on. I know we will be searching out as many of those CMs we can.

Crazyred, do you remember how long after you placed your order it took for the CD to arrive?

Thanks
Remmy

We also get as many photopass people as we can. On our trip in Nov. ' 06 we actually had every CM on Main Street, so in our pictures you can see our progression towards the castle, rather funny.

Ok so here are some pictures...

We knew when the picture was being taken, so we knew what we wanted to do!! It's one of my favorites!

This is my friend Joanna. We tried to convert her to a Disney Nut, we were unsuccessful. Well I think. She said she would go again, she just needs more than a year in between trips.

And just for good measure because this is what I will be seeing in 69 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[crzyred]

Ahh, stupid photobucket, why you put my picture so small.....grrrr .

Oh well you get the point. Ok off to the chiropractor with grandma, then back to carve a pumpkin...a mickey one of course!

I'm here! Ready for another fun day with the Snowbirds.

Belle and I spent the night at my parents last night. (They kept her, while I was serving at a church dinner.) I get so spoiled at my parents. They put DD to sleep, feed and cloth her in the morning. I got to take a long, wonderful bath and get in peace. Plus, mom sent me off with a cup of the best hot tea.

WOW!! Sounds like you had a great evening that I'm so sure you deserved!! Hope you have a great Thursday!!!

You served at a church dinner last night...I served a church dinner last night. Our teens decided to throw a fancy dinner for our missionaries and the teens did all the cooking. It was great..but I felt like I should help with dishes LOL!

Well, looking at last years release dates for codes, the Disney Visa and AP rates were out two days apart.... so maybe tomorrow? Anyways, congrats to all of you that received the AP deal.

On a sad (because she's growing up so fast) but happy (it's her Birthday!) note, we had to change our Signature to show our DD being 5 (not 4 anymore).

 

[jenjolt]

Oooooh... in all that trying to catch up I forgot to bring you all in on my news, so you can all Party with me!

My TA applied the AP discount to my room and my new balance is only

$1508.67

She said it went down from $3543.75, but that's not necessarily true, because that was when it was still booked on last year's peak rate, but it makes a pretty picture!

Congrats on a great deal!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! YAY!!! Definitely a great reason to party!!

Speaking of parties...I hope to see some pics of our Snowbirds and their mini snowbirds in halloween costumes. I have to live vicariously through all of you!!!! LOL

Shelly you have been such an angel and a really great chooser of menus!! So far you have almost covered my whole ADR list!! I'm so looking forward to lunch at Les Chefs de France.

Happy Birthday to Your DD!!!

Kazooie01- Happy Birthday to your sweet girl!!!

I'm on the phone with WDW right now- on hold of course. I did my math homework and have decided to go with the QSDDP. It's just slightly cheaper than paying OOP and the regular DDP left me with too many uncovered meals to buy OOP. Perhaps they'll have a magical pin attached to my name when I call!!!

Awww! I hope she has a very happy 5th birthday!

I wanna see pictures too! Right now the only people I've seen dressed up are college kids, and they are not half as cute as little kids... I had to work last night and the dressed up dorm and greek kids were running rampant...

I hope it works out for you.... unless the GP code is Free Dining we'll probably stay with our AP discount and not do the Dining Plan... course... if they let me keep my AP discount AND add the DP then we might make the change... maybe...

 

[Monny2AE]

Well nothing magical happened- no pins, no Visa or other codes. At least I got my dining added. Next on my Disney planning list is to plan around the dinners, parades and shows and decide where we are headed each day.

 

[Monny2AE]

Here's my babies this Halloween!

My daughter is Bedtime Bear---don't you love the pouty face. I told her she had to wait her turn and that's the face she gave me. What can I say the girl loves her some candy!

My son is Woody and would wear the costume all day every day if I let him!

Awww... your kids are so adorable. I can't wait until I have kids and can dress them up in cute costumes...
They did a Trunk or Treat at my church last night, but I had to work so I didn't get to go. I would have loved to see all the little kids running around in their costumes...

Oh well... I'm sure something will come out that you can use in the next couple of days.

Someone just posted a code in the Jan 09 code watch thread for 20% off !!!

CODE is DUY but not sure if it works or not- I'm on hold again.

 

[danceintherain]

Awww... man... I didn't schedule the MK on a day where they're doing Spectromagic

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Happy Halloween

Let us know what you find out. . . There is another code floating around out there in DIS-land - FKR - no one really seems to know what it is for. Maybe you could ask while you have them on the phone?

 

[danceintherain]

Awww... man... I didn't schedule the MK on a day where they're doing Spectromagic

Nevermind... I did... I just read the schedule wrong...

Happy Halloween

What fun costumes!
I remember when I was little I was a Fairy Princess for like 3 Halloweens straight, and a Cheerleader for a few...

 

[mana_liz]

Love the Halloween costumes so far everyone...can't wait to see more.



Bedtime Bear is my favorite Care Bear.

 

[Monny2AE]

DUY doesn't work. The CM had no clue about it. I hung up before I refreshed and saw your question about FKR so I didn't get a chance to ask about that one. I wonder if people are pulling our leg in DIS-land? Not to have a potty mouth but FKR makes me wonder?

Loved the Halloween pics!
