Look!! I added a ticker---just to make me feel better!! At least if we do go back then it'll be wwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy closer to time! Unless of course, we change the dates! but, it is nice to see something on there!!!

Love it!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

The 17th. At least it better be.... I've planned to avoid it!

What are your dates?

 

[PEANUT1]

Where are you going on your other 2 trips? We are going to take a short trip this summer, not sure where yet. . . I can't wait til it gets a little closer and we can start doing more planning for next January's WDW trip! Now if I could just find the right DVC person to rent me points at BCV!

I wish I had some leftover points to rent you!! I used all of my points for the year for the treehouse we are stayin in in January.

We are doing a week in Ocean City at the end of June and hubby and I are taking a kidless trip to Hawaii in October for our 10 year wedding anniversary.

Shelly..Btw...our dates are Jan 9-15th at Treehouse Villas at Saratoga Springs...we are thinking of flyin in the night before and staying somewhere cheap before we check into treehouses.

Hey Gals!

I am having a very lovely lazy saturday morning! I wish I could say we will be joining in on the January/February 2010 list but it is just not realistic right now! I was trolling around on the DVC site and actually discovered that it would be less costly to rent points for a week @ BLT than to stay at a mod! The only downside would be no housekeeping or ddp! Not sure if it would be a benefit or not! DH would really love to try the Contemporary! He totally fell in love with the monorail while on our trip in January! My dream would be to stay at the Poly!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend!

Actually, you can have the DDP if you rent points!

January is a long time to wait. We're taking a tiny trip next month. Going over to Dayton OH to the Wright Patterson museum. Then staying over night (loving bidding on Priceline). Then we're going to Kings Island amusement park. That's it. A quick two day trip.

If anybody is interested to know....Wright Patterson is free. It's a wonderful museum. You can get a shuttle ticket to ride over to the base and walk through 4 presidential planes including the first Air Force One. There's also exhibits on Bob Hope, and the Doolittle Raiders.

Have a great Easter weekend. Ours has already begun because my mom can't resist buying candy, peeps and such for our son.

We went to Wright Patterson a few weeks ago during my DS spring break. It's only a few hours from our house. We had a great time. Could've spent more than just the 1 full day there that we did!

Hello everyone! I don't post much any more, but I do check in every few days to see what's happening! I have to say, I'm jealous of all you with trips planned for next January....DH wants to do a cruise (non-Disney) next year, so it'll be a few years before we go back. I'm so bummed. No big trips for us coming up. My sister and I are heading to Seattle in a few weeks for our nephew's wedding. Just the two of us. Should be fun. Other than that, nada. Oh well... I'll live through all of your plans!!!

Really? That is very cool! I will keep that bit of info tucked under my hat! Thanks

All right now enough laughing at the tired blonde girl! Yes I know realize it is only Friday! I am very tired and when my kids AND husband are home I always think it is a saturday! oops, silly me!

I wish you had points to rent me too! I'm having a heck of a time trying to find someone.

So what do I put for the treehouse villas at Saratoga Springs??? THV SSR???

Sounds like you have lots of fun plans for the summer/fall!

 

[Northern Disney Girl]

I was so very envious of all the new tickers that I just had to go and make one too! I know it's a very long time to go yet but at least I have one!

We all need something to look forward to!
Sorry about teasing you. For a moment I thought I was mistaken. See my DH works Saturdays and today the kids had off, so it did feel like a Saturday to me too. I just didn't go telling anyone!

Maybe you could add a little side trip to your Seattle trip....we want to go back and see Victoria again. You can take a ferry from Seattle to Victoria. I think its 3 hours. The ferry can also arrange hotel and tours for you. I think the ferry is Clipper.

Victoria is a neat little harbor town. We are planning someday to go back and visit. There's whale watching (seasonal), Butchhart Gardens, Craig Darroch Castle (not so much castle as large house), high tea at the Fairmont Empress, and my favorite....Rogers Chocolates. Their cremes are the best. I think there's a fort nearby too.

Have fun in Seattle.

No worries Sheree! I can take a little teasing now and again! I AM a hearty Northerner after all! I swam in Disney when it was 60 degrees!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Thatta Girl!! We northerners are a tough hearty lot aren't we?

Seriously, how far north are you? Any big cities near you? About how far from MN?

I just spent the evening watching the MN Wild kick Nashville's puck! 8 - 4! They're trying desperately to make the playoffs, but need help from a couple other teams. Now I've got the Twins beating the Chicago White Sox 11 -5 in Chicago!! YAY!! Nah, I'm not much of a sports fan!! Just hockey and baseball!

 

[PEANUT1]

good morning everyone!! It is going to be a good day..I got a call at 5am telling me that they didn't need me at work

also means that I won't be paid for today, but hey I'll deal with that later
I was supposed to work 7-3 and now I am sitting in my jammies drinking coffee. Life is good.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

YAY for no work today Andrea!

I'm still in my jammies too!
