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

[trixiequilts]

There used to be a ME number. . . Is there anything in the booklet? You can always call the regular WDW number. I would definitely call someone!

I can't find any phone number on the booklet, but maybe I'm just not seeing straight because I'm so stinkin' mad!

I'm up baking peanut butter cookies for a Christmas party tomorrow and a cookie exchange on Sunday afternoon. I double batched it and I'm getting it done all at once !


I called both the Disney Store in Christiana, DE and the one in White Marsh, MD and they are both out. I am bummed. If any Snowbirds have a Disney Store near you that still has them and would be so kind I would love you forever! I only need $20 worth and I'd pay you through Paypal plus a few extra bucks for the trouble and postage! We made such a big deal about Santa bringing us Disney Dollars so we could go to WDW and that's why he's not bringing too many toys. I am so upset with myself for not going sooner!

I'm trying it today!!!

I ordered a new one yesterday and can't wait to watch it again even if it didn't change much from '08!

Yikes what a day!


I'll still be doing this in Disney but somehow I think I won't mind. Last time my sister and I left the kiddos with the hubbies and went one evening to do the laundry. We put it in, went to the Banana Cabana for a little something to drink and got lost on the way back. CBR at night after a drink or two can be confusing. We were walking around over bridges and in circles until we finally found our laundry building.

I go to the Christiana in Delaware!
Hope you got some. I am going to Lancaster tommorw, I could check there.

I GOT DISNEY MAIL!!!!!

I got my ME luggage tags today in the mail!!!!! I wonder when the rest of my package info will come??? Congrats to everyone else who got their magical mail today!! Just means we are that much closer!!!

I got my ME luggage tags in the mail today...

My name is spelled correctly.

DH's last name (our last names are all the same) is spelled wrong.

DD9's first and last names are spelled wrong.

DD6's last name is spelled wrong.

Should I do anything about this, and if so, who should I call?

Congrats on your mail everyone!
Yes, I would call.

[KatiebugsMom]

Hey all!

Wow you guys have been busy. Sorry, new job at work and the Halloween season at the Haunt then we all getting sick in November has had me hopping. But I am now sooooooo in Dis Mode now and cannot wait for my WDW time!!!

Some changes.....we're flying. SW seems the best option now. and only $100 more dollars then driving.....so the wear and tear on car and time to drive is worth the extra $100

No DDP. Going to do a combination of Room food, CS and splurge on only a couple of TS.

Did book the lunch time at Tusker House to get the Finding Nemo prefered seating time. Anyone else trying this???

And now just counting the days.....until I am in my happy spot again!

 

[figmentfan0724]

I know i am so far behind, but we finally purchased our airfare yesterday and it was super cheap! wooo Hoo...

Hey Katiebugsmom! Welcome back!

I wondered if you would change your mind and fly since airfare is so cheap! I ended up with $64 flights with SW. Are you flying out of PIT on the 20th? Maybe we are on the same flight!!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Good morning Snowbirds! It's a sunny morning here, but very very cold. 16 degrees.

Happy Saturday! We are another weekend closer to our trips!!!


Trixie - Did you call Disney this morning? I can't believe there are that many mistakes. That really stinks!

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I know i am so far behind, but we finally purchased our airfare yesterday and it was super cheap! wooo Hoo...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Isn't it such a great feeling?!?

 

[trixiequilts]

Trixie - Did you call Disney this morning? I can't believe there are that many mistakes. That really stinks!

Not yet. I got to sleep in!

 

[sarbah77]

My DH is off running his last race, before the Disney marathon, this morning. I didn't hear him get up, get dressed, or leave the house... ah, it was bliss to sleep in.

Of course, once I got up, I dragged out all his presents and wrapped them so now there's something under our tree!

In FOUR WEEKS, we'll be waking up in Disney!!!!

 

[coffeehousemom]

I'm up for a meet but I can't do anything on the Sun 11th we will just be getting there, giving hubby his favorite meal at Sci Fi & I will be in MK to ride Haunted Mansion over & over when its dark. LOL If anyone wants to hook up for a quick chat or ride some rides together in MK works for me.

I too am in same boat w/ DH he's just not "into" Disney. Oh he loves it down there when we get there, riding rides watching kids have fun etc. But he has habit of only looking at the "cost" of being there. SO in concession to him I am giving up my character breakfasts. He "did" the numbers & said we could have almost 4 meals for the 4 of us for the cost of those 2. I am bummed but he s right.

 

[Dancegrl624]

In exactly 6 weeks, I will be flying to WDW! Oh my goodness! I still can't believe it. Totally amazing.

Well, I got all of my gifts wrapped last night. It took me 2 and a half hours, but it's all done! Even thought I'm done shopping, my DD and I are going to the mall today with my big sis. We were going to go shopping on Elmwood Avenue, but it's too cold. Elmwood is filled with cute little boutiques and very unique stores. It's very cute, but again, it's in the 20's today. No thanks! I'll take the heated mall thank you very much! I hope that you all have a pleasant Saturday!

I can't do the 11th at all, since it's marathon day and my parents and bro are still going to be around! But we're around through the 16th.

 

[Monny2AE]

I'm doing my happy dance...I got my Disney Dollars!!!!

We had breakfast with Santa this morning at my sister's church and my son told Santa he wants money to go to Disney World Mama's gotcha covered little man!

I'm so glad everyone's getting their Magical Mail- I'm hoping mine comes soon! I can't wait. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Back from shopping. The mall was starting to get super busy when we were leaving. I'm very glad to be back home.

My ticker is getting me very excited! Tink is almost to the end! I remember when I first put it up and she was smack dab on top of the castle. Time flies when you're on the Dis!
