Hi Tomar: I just sent MKY and e-mail. SW is having a sale and flights from LI to MCO are going for $64 each way.:cool1: At least SW is having sales. Now, if they only had dates for when we are looking to travel.:sad2: The waiting is starting to make me crazy.:crazy2:

Hi TP2:
CO is having a sale too...$84.00 each way...but not at our time frame either!
We`re playing the waiting game too now !:upsidedow
HOw are the girls ?
I hope well !!princess: princess: princess:
 
Hi Tomar: The girls are doing well. Thank you.:goodvibes Everyone is in school so that is good.

The waiting is going to kill me.:hyper: Disney also extended the booking date for 7 for 4 deal. I wish they would extend that dates of travel but no such luck. Have to keep waiting. I guess I should put it out of my mind until April.:sad:

I really think that it`s gunna be a "Wait and see" with all the codes and discounts for the summer TP :rolleyes2 ....we waited soooooooo long in `06 for the AP codes to finally come out:faint: ...they came in the middle of MAY...by then we were all exhausted from the drawn out wait...remember ? :crazy2:
This year I have to wait for reward travel on CO that is virtually "Non-existant".....and an AP code for the weekend of our BW stay....(right now it is booked with our AAA membership discount)..
...because of the way CO is handleing this summer`s travel...brought about the split stay....and its a confusing DVC explaination on the other side of it..:crazy: ...but that`s how it ended up ....so some of us are actually in the same boat again ...sort of ;)
Im sooo happy the girls are back at school and all is well in the TP2 household again !! :angel:
 

:) Hi Ladies...I remember the 06 ap wait and came up high and dry:crazy2: I wonder if they will be offered at AKV at all this year. Last year they were very limited, but the resort wasn't done. Keep your eyes on that 1BR Tp2 that sleeps 5. I wonder how mky did with SW? They were great to fly:)
 
Hiya everyone, :goodvibes :wave2:

Thanks for the SW heads up. From here, it is only good if you fly M > F and we return on a sat. so that flight is still 300.00.:sad2: But the thur. we leave it is 99.00. The special here is 79 to 99, m>f. We are still better off with our original ressie. Was about 250. for round trip. Which bug bought on the day the dates where released. We have yet to better that, and doubt we will.:scratchin

:beach: 49 Days to go!!!:cheer2:

Not sure what was going on at WDW yesterday. I tried to call about 10 am to change dates in October. [can't leave the first week, have to go the next two.] Was on hold 40 minutes and on hold. Finally gave up.:confused3

pixiedust: pixiedust: For all the summer vacations, pixiedust: pixiedust: good airfare and codes / rates!;) pixiedust: Remember, its only January. I think with the economy, >> the summer rates will be out in no time.

TP2, I read about that 500. card. wow. I have pretty much missed the code bus too. I got 1 offer for disneyland 3 years ago. And finally last year we got to score the august, bounceback for 40% off. Otherwise, no codes here. *** glad the girls are A- ok ***

Tomar, I bet you a mickey bar, you can work out that airfare thing.:thumbsup2

EE22, it is 5 here right now, and not going any higher any time soon. :rolleyes: Good news, its not snowing.

Candi, bug is excited about meeting one of my "friends" too.:thumbsup2 Is it too soon to take down my suitcases?:hyper:

mky:cutie:
 
Tomar: I definately remember 2006. My AP expired and we never got to use it. Was planning on getting two trips out of the AP but that never happened.:sad2: Wound up with free dining instead that year.:goodvibes The upside is that was the year we all met. Everything happens for a reason, right?;)

MKY: They extended the booking date for buy 4 get 7. Not sure if that made phone lines go crazy.:confused3 System seems overloaded this year for some reason. Maybe they closed some call centers? Or with the computer system upgrades, maybe things aren't all up and running yet. That online check in system is no where to be found (as far as I can tell) maybe they are behind schedule.

EE22: I would love AKLV. We would need free dining and free tickets! That or 80% off the room rate.:rotfl2: I am probably the only one in the world hoping for the recession to last a bit longer.:lmao: It would be nice to upgrade and AKL has already been asked for.:scratchin
 
TP2:rotfl: I dare you, go over to the "code" board and write: anyone get the 80% off code? :lmao: They would go nuts.;) I hope things don't get that bad. Maybe a little worse, so wdw is cheaper, so far, what I lost on my retirement annuities > I could of lived at the GF for a month [with dining].:sad: :sad2: Oh well, what can you do? Just keep looking forward and not back. Funny, every time I try to price something: I put it in wdw terms and $$$.:confused3 Think we dwell on it to much?
The ladies at work where discussing, 2, 3, 4, 5, kids? how many? >> as a "nonparent" I said: well, I know my friend, has a hard time with hotel rooms, airfare, etc.... . >> with 3 kids, making a family of 5. Hard number to manage in wdw terms. [but you do it so well] ;) Good thing your an expert.pixiedust: :cheer2: pixiedust:

MKY-:cutie: I think Im gunna gladly have to owe you "One Mickey Bar"....since the summer airfare discounts are looking pre-tty grim right now !! :crazy:
I am so sorry that you and EE22 are stuck in the frozen tundra....TP2 and I are in the "Mini Frozen tundra" !! 26 degrees today must be a heat wave for you guys right now :beach: ;)

TP2- AAAAHHH Yes :angel: .....I will remember 2006 for two very special reasons....1- My Perfectly Princess was Born :angel: ....and 2- I was blessed to have made such special Friends ! :flower3:

TP2:rotfl: so far, what I lost on my retirement annuities > I could of lived at the GF for a month [with dining].:sad: :sad2: Oh well, what can you do?
mky:cutie:

MKY-:cutie: ....Im sooo sorry about your retirement annuities ...so many people have lost soooo much recently ! :faint:
Having said that.....I Adore your analagy of what you could have done though.....:angel:
"A Month in the Grand ...with Dining" !! .......AAAHHH !!:cloud9:
 
Tomar:wave2: We did reach 24 yesterday & all the local gang bangers where out, you would of thought it was 80 in may.:scratchin :lmao:

mky:cutie:
 
MKY: Flames would be thrown.:rotfl: People would start defending poor Disney that they NEED to make close to $600 per night for a room.:rotfl2: There are options, just none affordable in the deluxe catagory.:sad1: We are good though, at least we get to go and the room is clean. That is what is important in the end.:p

And yes!::yes:: I relate everything to Disney money.:upsidedow That is probably why I buy so much for the trip. I try to figure how I can use things on vacation. I am so ready to go and we still have 6 months.:faint: What am I going to do with all that time?:hyper:
 
TP2, Yes, I forgot: I own that 1 share of stock with wdw.:rotfl: We need every penny. :lmao: ::yes:: I remember the first time we got close to staying at wdw. The royal plaza. Whoa. we stayed 4 nites and road there bus. We thought we hit the big time. Next step was CBR. the year it opened. Wow, life was good. I should of stopped there. ;) Would of saved alot of money.::yes::

TP2...mine was about 70% off when we first went to AKL and if I had not upgraded to a Savanna View, it would have been about 80% off :thumbsup2 that was in 2003.

Nothing in 06 except that we met which is "priceless":angel:

Tomar it is -1 here and dropping tonight.

mky...you made me NOT miss the Detroit area with your comment and the warm weather:rolleyes2
 
MKY: The problem with Disney hotels is they are all so nice and they all just keep getting better. A value resort at any other place in the world would be a haven for kids and their parents. It is knowing that there is better out there that is hard. My only disappointment with values is the lack of pool slides. The rooms are small, but that is true of most Disney resorts. Of course location is the biggest factor and you only get great locations at the the deluxe resorts. We will have to wait until I am back to work before we go there but at least we have something to work towards and reasons to go back.:goodvibes
 
EE22: That is an amazing discount.:thumbsup2 I don't get that lucky though.:sad1: I will keep my eyes open though. I think everyone is going before June 27 so maybe we will luck out and get empty parks in the summer.:rotfl:
 
Hi Ladies

Well that was why we finally bought the DVC - the discount off the room prices! GF is out of my reach and so is the Contemporary but now I can stay at BLT with our points. I am still surprised MKY has not bought in at BLT yet :rotfl2:

It is really cold here today. The deap freeze is back on.

MKY - we will have to email each other and try to find a time to meet up for an ice cream or something. On Friday March 13th you were planning to stay the whole day at the park correct? Could we meet at your resort and watch the fireworks that night maybe? Do they have an area that you can view them from at the Contemporary?

I can't wait to me you an Bug so I hope we can work out something. :cheer2:

Better go :laundy:
 
EE22: That is an amazing discount.:thumbsup2 I don't get that lucky though.:sad1: I will keep my eyes open though. I think everyone is going before June 27 so maybe we will luck out and get empty parks in the summer.:rotfl:

Hmmmm...."From your mouth .to God`s Ears" TP (about everyone going before 6-27 or alittle after.) :angel:
I didn`t think of that...yes...most folks went for the 7/4 deal...which may leave a little "Breathing" room for the rest of us going after those dates !! :goodvibes
 
OK so I finally booked our vacation yesterday!! I am going to try my hardest to keep it all a secret from my girls - they will be 12 and 8 at the time we go. I have just told them that on the last day of school IF they continue to do well for the rest of the year and also do their responsibilities at home, we will have a good surprise. Soooo I plan to pick them up from school that day, and tell them (all while I video tape it to their embarrassment LOL) - then head to the airport and GO!! We will be staying a week thanks to the 4/3 special at Coronado Springs Resort. I'm in the process now of setting up our itineraries but I guess I need to wait until I can figure when EMH's are and go from there....I am SO excited though!!!! I also got us the dining plan so I plan on doing a few character meals. June 18th can't come quick enough!!!
 
Beatuies n the Beast - that sounds like a wonderful trip for you. Will this be your first trip?

We surprised our girls back in 2003 and the reaction was not what I expected. :rotfl2: You can see other peoples clips and stories on the DIS boards and they can be very funny.

MKY - I have found a coupon for car rentals that is pretty good. Do you have a Costco membership? It is for Budget and it is 20% off, no charge for extra drivers, and a free upgrade at the counter.
