Oh my goodness... this is to funny.. my friend sent this newspaper article from a town in Florida... true story.....I am going to try and shorten the story... there is an elderly woman who is shopping at her local mall. While leaving the mall with her purchases she sees 4 males stealing her car. She drops her bags and pulls a gun from her purse and runs up to the car and yells at the men inside to get out or she will shoot.... they jump out of the car and run away. The elderly woman gathers her purchases gets in the car and is so shaken up that she can't even get the key in the ignition... then she notices a fisbee, a football and a case of beer... upon further investigation she realizes that this is not her car and she finds hers down the row about 4 vehicles away. She immediately drives to the police station to tell them what she has done. While conveying her story to the detective he begins laughing... it seems at the other end of the counter are four young males describing this crazy little old lady, with white curly hair, barley 5 ft tall that car jacked them.....

Is it wrong that that story just made me laugh right out loud?

Has everyone who made changes to their ressie last night gotten their confirmation email? My CM told me it would be coming "shortly", but I still have not gotten it. . .

I haven't gotten mine either... but I did ge the one from AAA when I cancelled with them

 

[sharadoc]

I have it on there. Is that your only ADR?

Thanks. Yep, that's it for now. I think I'm going to get a little serious about it this weekend. I know I'll be doing Tusker House and Cape May Cafe for Breakfast and I want to do a Tusker House dinner. I've been trying to get myself together enough to make plans, but I can't seem to commit.

I don't think so.... because I also laughed...

I needed to change mine by a day and I noticed other DISers with a CBR ticker so I went on a hunt, and found it!!

OMG this made my day! I am having such a bad day, and this made me LOL!!!!


That and I am going to go back to WDW in March for 2 days! I was planning on going to Red Sox Spring training for a long weekend. The tickets into Fort Myers were a fortune. almost 1K for my friend and I. If we flew to Orlando it was $500. We rented a car for $133, she had an AP...I have a 6 day hopper I am thinking of upgrading or seeing what I can do for a pass. We stay one night on either side of our trip which is now 5 nights long! Woohoo!!! I may just get a P&PP after all!

I laughed out loud and read it to my co-workers!! Poor little old lady!

Good morning Snowbirds!

Congratulations to everyone who got great discounts! Woo hoo!
Good luck to everyone who is still trying.

Shelly, is that a new ticker? I like it!

I guess you didn't notice in my last post, but I have one Dining Reservation to add to the list.

Chef Mickey's January 25, 7pm DDs birthday (any Snowbirds in the area - stop by for some cake!)

Is Jan 25 your DD's actual birthday? That's my birthday! Too bad that is the day we're leaving to come home.

OK, I'm still on the fence with this discount business. We're planning on 6 nights at SOG and already have 7-day hoppers. We could switch to 7 nights at a moderate and save about $200 (gift card), or switch to 7 nights at AKL or WL (if available) and pay about $200 more. (This would be re-buying hoppers and saving the ones we have for another trip.) The extra night would be OK work-wise and school-wise, a little extra $ needed for food. We stayed at POFQ in 2002 and were happy with it, but now I'm a little concerned about the room size with two boys who have grown a lot since then, PLUS a pack-n-play. All this talk about CBR has me thinking about that...Shelly, you should be getting a commission from them! I know their rooms are a little larger. We've never visited ALK or WL, but I've heard such great things about them. But we do like SOG...the rooms are HUGE and it's so peaceful and quiet. Any thoughts? Help!

It sure is a new ticker!

You're right, they should be giving me a commission!

Well, CBR does have larger rooms than the other moderates. I can really tell the difference. So that is an option for you. AKL and WL are the cheaper Deluxe resorts, but their room size is the same as CBR. WL is in a better location if you spend a lot of time at MK. I know, it's a tough decision. Good luck!

Well not that this is any help... but I have stayed at SOG, moderates, and AKL.... here are my thoughts....

SOG rooms are huge... none bigger... love the extra area with the sofa and table/chairs... we always have things like golf clubs so we really like the extra room.... had I not been traveling with two teenage boys this trip we would be at SOG... but the dining plan is needed this trip.... not sure if you have seen 2 fifteen year old boys eat but they are eating machines....

AKL is lovely.... however I don't think we would stay there again unless it was a great rate... the rooms are very nice... and yes they are larger... the beds are very comfy... but the furniture is huge.... so much that I don't think you have that much extra space.... the bathrooms are really nice... and you can't beat the animals and the main areas... very nice... we didn't really care for the pool area.... but that was just us...

out of the mods we have stayed at POFQ and CSR... we love CSR... we like the beach, the Pepper Market and the pool.... POFQ was very nice also.... much smaller and it was great when the kids were little... we are excited to be trying CBR this time though...

so that was my thoughts...

I was almost "swayed" to change my resort to a Moderate or a Deluxe due to the codes, but my NonDisneyLoving Husband kindly reminded me that we are a commando style family and that we only sleep in our rooms. So, he is right..but don't tell him. We are sticking with Pop and loving the frozen cokes. Let's just hope that the machines are up and running when we are there.

For the QOTD...My first snack item when I was 5 was a frozen chocolate banana on a stick so I try to get one every trip for memory sake. Not that it's my favorite snack but strictly for the memories...

Well, I'm off to a funeral. My 89 year old Grandmother passed away on Wednesday night. I have no clue why they are rushing this service...but I'm not loving that tomorrow during burial, the forecast if for snow!!
I will be back this weekend.

Is there a way to "bookmark" where I left off on these postes?

Has everyone who made changes to their ressie last night gotten their confirmation email? My CM told me it would be coming "shortly", but I still have not gotten it. . .

Thanks for the advice; CBR should name a group of rooms after you! We haven't received our confirmation email either, fingers crossed, its coming.

Tammy, condolences to your family.
When you come back to the thread, near the top right corner just under "post reply" it will say, "view first unread"...click there and it will take you back to where you left off.

ETA: make that top LEFT corner. Sorry!
