:rotfl2: Boy would that be something!!! Of course, we're driving down leaving on a Friday to check in on Monday. They better call my cell phone!! :)

One year we were going to stay at SOG and because it was being renovated, they put us in the garden wing of the Contemporary. very cool to be so close to MK! And we only paid what we were going to pay at SOG!!!
 
I think I would LITERALLY wet myself right there on the phone call!!!! I will pray hard!!!!:rotfl:

One of the ladies who got the call did not believe the CM, she was going with a Magicl Gathering and they said they had to get permission from the entire group to move them so she asked for a phone number to call them back at because she thought someone in her group was playing a trick on her!
 
I don't think I would believe the phone caller either, but I do have caller-id...so maybe. I will still flip out. The Contemporary is my dream stay for the Monorail and the Castle...but that Garden wing and the thread about the 3 foot snake with it's nest still freaks me out!:scared1:
Time for me to hit the hay....I'm thinking tomorrow I'm going to be ill from work..cough, cough, don't I sound terribly stuffy:rolleyes1 :sick: :sad2:
 

Good morning Snowbirds. 10 inches of snow last night and 1/4 inch of ice. Lucky us! We are hoping for Magic Mail today! That sure would help melt the snow and ice!:thumbsup2
 
I just wanted to say that a while back (in the summer) I was on a diffrent Disney board and quite a few people who were booked at Pop got calls teh day before they left "asking" if they would like to be upgraded to the contemporary. So I guess you really never know with Disney...they would spin it as a magical upgrade.

I'll take it! (Of course, I'd prefer the GF or WL . . . :rolleyes1 )

Around here, there's a megastorm - rain, ice, lots of power outages (obviously not here :rotfl: ), trains late. I took the day off because I couldn't deal with all of this plus a sinus headache, and I'm glad I did. Our basement's flooded! :headache: I had to move some stuff, and bring the cats' litter box up here. Of course, the way I found out was to have a wet kitty jump up on my lap. Time to change the pants!

Hope everyone has a great (dry!) day!
 
I'd definitely take an upgrade. However, it seems unlikely, because we're already staying Deluxe, and I don't think that there will be any availability in higher levels at AKL while I'm there... at least none shows at this point...
If we planned a shorter trip it would be more likely...
However, if they offered to upgrade me to something better at the Contemporary I'd take it...
 
Good morning everyone! Well, my very good friend on my dance team just got back from WDW yesterday! I was so jealous, but it made me even more excited for my trip. She waited in line for and hour and a half for Pixie Hollow, but said it was well worth it. She said that each fairy took time with everyone (my friend is 26 like me) and that it was the best character interaction ever. I cannot wait to do this!

Another big hit with her was TSMM at DHS. She said she laughed through the whole thing and that my DD will love it! These 43 days better fly by. As of tomorrow, I'll be at the 6 week mark! Woo hoo!:banana:
 
Hey Snowbirds! I finally got a chance to sit down again. I hope they don't expect to boot anyone out of their resort without making it worth their while! Upgrades are necessary!

I got home early, mixed up cookie dough, took the girls to dance, talked to my friend to plan our weekend, had dinner, made cookies, bathed kids, talked on the phone, made another treat, and cleaned up the kitchen, and now I'm exhausted!!

Since I won't be around this weekend (No internet), Happy Birthday to pamouselover, and anyone else with celebrations this weekend! Congrats on all of the Magical Mouse Mail!
I hope you all have a great weekend - don't chat too much without me!! :laughing:
Thanks, it is next Friday!

I think from what I read they make you pay to upgrade. Which I found weird if they are the ones closing down resorts. I would like a upgrade, but I think my dates are safe.

:scared1: Dont send it my way. :rotfl: Though I rather have snow then the rain we have had the last couple of days. My backyard looks like a mud pit.
 
Good morning Snowbirds!

I hope everyone is doing well this chilly morning.

Just laundry and cleaning here. . . hmm seems like I just said that a few days ago. . . probably because I did! :sad2: :lmao: When does it end??? I CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION!!! :cloud9:
 
Morning Snowbirds!

We don't have 10" of snow here, but we have plenty even so. :rotfl:

I can't believe we are within the 1 month mark!!! :thumbsup2
