Can I cry on someone's shoulder. My little baby is having his first sleepover. I've never spent a night away from him in over 4 years.

I'm really sad.

Is it just me or is time move terribly slow this afternoon?!?!

<-----Just found this little guy. How cute is he?!?!?

He's one of my favorites. I use him sometimes, but he's always so dang hard to find!

My DD has yet to have a sleepover. Well, with friends at least. She's slept at my parents house MANY times and at my sister's house as well. We're here for you!

You know you live in the south when your school has 'Camo Day'? All the kids dressed in camoflauge and hunting apparel. Seriously!

Jen, your DH would be in hog heaven!!!

I just peeked at a few menus for MK - didn't see any frozen yogurt but the ice cream stands seem to have alternate cold treats, like ice pops, frozen lemonade and fruit bars. You could check some of the restaurants menus for dessert options too. Oh I see Cosmic Ray's lists strawberry yogurt as a dessert - doesn't say whether it's frozen or not.

Plus, I've heard there's plenty of soy milk options throughout WDW. Did you look over at the Disabilities board? They have TONS of great info.

Thanks for the info! I'll check out the DISabilities board later...gotta go get ready, we're going out to a fundraiser dinner tonite for World Vision!

54 MINUTES!

Thanks. This actually at my in-laws. He loves it over there. They are putting a tent up in the family room tonight. He's going to have a great time while I'm at home vrying in my ice cream. . . And watching Survivor, of course

I'm not there yet, but hugs to you!​

Oh, absolutely - I'd prefer the Boardwalk, though! Right now, unless the HUGE deal is really HUGE and not the $200 I'm thinking I might save, we're sticking with a moderate anyway. D's dream is to stay at the Grand Floridian, but something tells me that ain't happening - at least not if she wants to stay in college!

Haha... I'm glad the GF doesn't appeal to me.

All you guys talking about the resorts looking like where you live make me laugh. I don't have that problem! Really I don't think a resort that represents WI would be a hot seller

A resort about Kansas would be about the same.... I guess they could have Buffalo roaming outside though... and of course they would add the Wizard of Oz theme

I say let the ya'lls fly! I've heard that ya'll is working it's way into other regional speak.

Oh and if you love "ya'll" you'd be head over heels for how many times a day I hear FIXIN'! As in "I'm FIXIN' to go pick up my son at preschool"! There are so many words that are soooooo Texan I just love 'em all !!!

Yeah, I can't justify taking the two little ones for one weekend. Besides....I just got back from a 10 day WDW trip without Dh or the boys!

DH just came home sick and it about freaked me out! We moved here in July so he could take a job with Whirlpool and they layed off a bunch of people last week. When I saw him pull in the drive I about fell over, I thought for sure we were goners! So, now I get to spend a day with a sick, introverted, engineer....this should be fun!

For the record, he now states he could probably handle the trip if I have everything all laid out for him, that means setting up the town car service, meals, etc. Hmmmmm....plan a WDW trip...I'm not sure I'm qualified!

Haha... well at least he'll go!

I've stayed away from the code threads--I like it here where it's safe! Could someone please give me a quick summary of what we THINK is coming out? (I know it's all speculation at this point, but I'd like to do a little number crunching too!)

We think something similar to the discount they released after 9/11 is coming out. I think it was something like buy 4 days, get 3 free. Which means you pay for 4 nights at a resort and tickets, then get 3 free. At least that's how I've deduced it. Which means if you're staying at a Value ($82/night) then you'd pay $82x4, but you wouldn't pay for your last 3 nights, which means you'd pay $328 and save $246. The extra tickets aren't as big of a discount, because you only pay a few extra dollars per extra day, but they want to tie it into a package, because then you have to pay 45 days in advance.

I'm not sure how they'll deal with stays over 7 nights, because if I have to pay for 6 nights and get 3 free, then I'll probably keep my AP discount, and not have to pay in advance, which has less restrictions for changes.

I have a question for all of you experienced Disney travellers! My DD5 has an intolerance to milk. She can't drink cow's milk or eat ice cream. She drinks soy milk at home and I am aware that we can get it at TS and some CS places. She can eat cheese and yogurt. My question is this : Is anybody aware of any places at WDW that sell frozen yogurt? Thanks for your help!
I don't want her to feel left out when her sister gets to have ice cream!

Thanks for the info! I'll check out the DISabilities board later...gotta go get ready, we're going out to a fundraiser dinner tonite for World Vision! 54 MINUTES!

You're DD isn't gonna miss out at all! My DD has a level of lactose intollerance, so we try to avoid milk & icecream too, but from what I've found out, WDW seems to go out of their way to cater for food allergies. There's soy based icecream available in all the parks - just check out DisAbilities board like pp suggested and you'll get all the info there, and an email contact at WDW who'll email you a list of all the places that sell dairyfree and soy icecream.

Cheers!

[danceintherain]

Another question from a Code Newbie

IF the deal is pay for 4 nights, get 3 free, does that mean you can pay for 5 and get three free??? Hate to sound stupid but my current reservation is for 8 nights.

thanks

That's what I'm thinking, but eventually it becomes less of a deal that the AP discount released next week, and once people hit above 10 days, then they have to get an AP anyways, or use old tickets from previous trips...or I suppose add Water Parks & More.
I don't know the actual answer though... I guess we'll just see what comes out this evening...

We're here for you! It is very weird to be apart for the first time. It's almost hard to enjoy it yourself. But it gets easier each time.

 

[distherapy]

My kids have been SO quiet for the last hour. I know as soon as 5 pm hits they are going to be the loudest things ever while I try to call. Sigh...

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Okay everyone, my kids are due home any minute, then we're off to dance. DH is in charge of code-watching. Here's my good luck wishes/fingers crossed/pixie dust

Time is moving v e r y s l o w l y

See you later!!

 

[jenjolt]

My TA is completely worthless LOL!!

She doesn't know that much about Disney (clearly) and isn't putting much effort into this whole code thing. YES, I become obsessive. It's my personality. I just want the best deal possible and I don't want to miss out. Y'all understand, right?

Ahhhhh!!! So, that being said . . . After the code is reveals tonight, I will call and leave a message for her with all of my information. She is going to work on it first thing in the morning.

On another note. I just stocked up on my scrapping supplies for after our trip. I've got find some way to kill time in between client. Shopping fills the void

YAY!! Thank goodness for someone else who has already bought scrapbooking supplies!! My husband thinks I'm crazy but I insist on having the stuff especially if its on sale LOL!!!

You know you live in the south when your school has 'Camo Day'? All the kids dressed in camoflauge and hunting apparel. Seriously!

And another one - there's a boy in my son's class named Hill. My yankee husband came and asked me the other day, "Who is Heel? I keep hearing about Heel." Our son is going to have quite the accent, much to my husband's dismay!
