I got a PIN!!!! Not that I can use it, but- by golly, I got a PIN!!!
Just booked our January trip! Had the sweetest cast member. She kept calling me 'my dear'. My southern soul just loves being called pet names. Belle was in the background watching Beauty and the Beast show on YouTube and screaming "Beast Nakey, Mommy. Beast Nakey!" She thought it was the funniest thing she had ever heard.
We are booked Jan 2-9 at POFQ. Don't leak that on my PTR, though. I'm going to post about that and our special guest. The two inter-mingle and it makes for a good episode.
Shelly-I got the same PIN as you. Dates through Dec. I found it in my spam. Also, I can't find the 2010 Snowbirds thread. Can you PM me?
Yeah for you!!!! I need to book mine---you are inspiring me!!!! I love when I get those super sweet cms!!!! Sometimes I have gotten one that's kinda crabby I just say ok, Thanks. and then I call back! Ha!! If I am planning a trip I need someone to be sweet and excited with me!!!! Mike isn't usually too excited--he is too busy thinking about the $$$
So, I gotta rely on the phone ladies!!!
My DH's thinking is that if we are going to do Disney, we can go to FL. However if we want to see the Mona Lisa, going to FL won't help.
He plans on us spending most of our time in Paris in art museums. I just can't wait for the Michelangelo to arrive that one of the local museums purchased.Just booked our January trip!

The Louvre is wonderful, though a bit daunting. We never actually made it to the Michaelangelo section though. I didn't realize this until after we had already left.
I made DH promise to take me back to Paris in the Spring some time. I was amazed just imagining what it would look like in the Spring with all the flowers.
Soleil - congrats on the plans!

The plan so far is to have 3 days in London, 3 in Paris, and then 2 days for travel. I am going to look through all the museums in Paris, and have planned out what we're going to see. I know we will only see a fraction, but it will be the fraction that is most important to us. As far as London goes, the DH only wants to spend one full day in London and then the other two exporing other things close by. I am hoping that there is a theatre that has a production of the Phantom of the Opera running while we are there. It has been a dream of mine to see Phantom in London. I tried to convince my DH to add a day to it to go to Oberammergau, Germany to see their Passion Play that they only do every 10 years, and he looked at me like I was crazy. Actually his response was, "and what are you smoking, Kim".
Right now I am planning 3 trips, b/c I am still working on the figures as to what we are actually going to do. The London/Paris trip, a January WDW trip in case we don't go to Europe with us staying at the CR, and a January WDW trip in case they have the 4/3 deal with us staying at the PC.
I got that one too, in Andy's mail. Here's hoping that we'll get good codes or deals for January!!!
I don't want to do the same resort two years in a row, but I so enjoyed the boatride to Magic Kingdom. That would be great with a two year old.
If I get a 40% PIN, I'm upgrading to Deluxe.
I'm excited about PORFQ, but I'm not 100% sold on it. Seriously hoping that I can upgrade somehow.
I know!!
Our attorney has requested that he has all the signed paperwork from them 72 hours prior to closing, that way there will be no last minute surprises. So, hopefully by the end of the month it will all be over and it will be smooth sailing from there. What a wonderful dilemma to have! But you've stumped me - what's the PC?
I would do Nov. 28 - Dec. 6 and celebrate your son's birthday! As a December baby (the 14th), I can tell you that the opportunities to celebrate one's birthday are few and far between! Everyone's busy preparing for the holidays, there are multiple parties that people go to so your plain old birthday party gets lost in the shuffle, too many goodies so the cake you bring in to school is not special, "combined" birthday/Christmas/Chanukah gifts, etc. (My office has birthday cake for employees once a month - for every month except December! "We'll have our holiday party instead." Bah, humbug! But I'm not bitter!) Let the kid have the day!
Especially this year, with the birthday bonuses. If you don't want to get the gift card just for the birthday boy, how about getting the Birthday Fast Passes? That way all the kids share. (Besides, how will he feel if he realizes that you specifically didn't go on his birthday?)
It is cloudy and raining here today! 
DH and I are going to the girls' school for "Family Picnic Day" for lunch today! Just wanted to drop in and say HEY to y'all before I head out! 
Although I will be sad if you have to defect to November Shelly! 
You gotta do what you gotta do though. 
It's a disease, I know! I am seriously looking into therapy!
