You should do the 9/20 Southern out of Puerto Rico...all the cool kids are.

Why yes, yes they are!

that and hurricane risk/repair. I will say the beach was FABULOUS.
I love AK but that's the same reason (that and higher price per points and with our age, don't necessarily need the longer contract) that we wouldn't add on there. Thankfully it's still fairly easy to get in as long as you don't want concierge or value.
Our idea is to get in some short cruises that we could either "add on" to a WDW vacay so that we get up to Gold or Platinum. I can't get Fran to understand that we can actually "take and enjoy" vacations. Her parents beat it into her that she needs to work 24/7/365 and anyone who doesn't do that is a loser. It doesn't help that 3 of our 11 apartments are in rehab and vacant right now.

What, when, cool kids? I want in. This 9/20? Damn, I just bought DH tickets for Diana Krall on 9/24. It's it's Father's Day gift.
Cynthia, you're on this one too?
He seems okay today. I appreciate you sharing the link, yes I did.
I am not sure how the cleaning went today. I did have some requests for the crew though so I was hoping I would hear back. Kody has a shoe that was autographed by the musical group Family Force 5 and her stuffed Mickey that she always slept with. I know her room didn't burn so I am not sure why I didn't hear back.
Yes, they are. Tomorrow I start meeting with the contractors. This should be interesting.
The points are high and you can get 7m but I'd be online right at 8am or calling at 9!
You won't be getting a kitchen though so studio or inn room isn't so bad. I'd go for ocean view inn room if it was just 2 people.
The dues are crazy high $7.11 this year. I projected it out over the life of the contract and it was brutal. We were looking at adding on (again) and Jeff was all hot on it....till I did that.
I can't see buying cheap points now that would mostly be used elsewhere for the next 10 years and getting killed on dues. Better to wait and buy resale in 10 years...if we really do end up thinking we want that 11m advantage to book beach cottages. Which we think we might!
It's the one leaving October 1st 2014. It's the only double dip cruise that fits our time frame. The other one we like is the Vancouver repositioning cruise. I'm also looking at using points which is totally unusual for me, but I'm not sure that we can rent out our WDW points to use them. I suppose if we go through David's we could.
I suppose I should investigate that. We could probably make some real money and even cover our dues, so we'd be staying free at that point.
Why yes, yes they are!

Yep..we are both booked. Leave the hubby at home...I booked 2 people in my room but I'm looking like I'm going solo.

I hope they call you soon and that her Mickey and shoe are salvageable.
Those dues are high.The erosion reason makes sense though. I didn't realize AKV was the highest after Vero, is that due to the animals?
Not trying to age us or anything but don't you love dreaming about retirement and when the kids are all off living their lives? I do.![]()
Where does it leave from? And where does it cruise to? I've read great things about David's.He charges a lot so I'm thinking he keeps $3 of the $13 per point? I subscribe to his emails and I get them asking for people to sell him their points. There is a point rental shortage I guess.
With your well known name and high post count I;m sure you could get more renting them on your own but with David's there risk and headache are gone for you.
Holy Hannah, is it a girls' cruise. I mean, I know they allow men on but is this a DIS thing?
How fun! I'm so jealous. What's the itinerary and where are you leaving from?
Lol! Jeff and I are booked, not leaving him at home. We are ditching all the kids though. You and Michael should do the same
Jeff plans for retirement now, not aging us at all, just a reality, although he is convinced it's happening sooner than I think is realistic,

We will be doing to Vancouver repositioning cruise in 5 weeks. I can't wait.

I get the money thing too. I cashed in some stock options and thought I could spend it to get my Mustang painted.

What year? Fran is a Cougar collector.
Sigh I used to have a 1965 Mustang. It died a fiery death.
Hi all! Scotty made me feel better today by telling me that I needed to look forward to a Disneyland trip in fall of 2014. It's a ways off but it made me smile.
I'm so sorry....I didn't want to say anything before about the car when you've lost so much else that's more important.
I'm so glad you have something fun to plan for!
Jill in CO
Thank you Jill. I think the big thing with the car is that I remember the day my dad drove it off the lot. I learned to drive in that car. I cruised in that car. It was a rite of passage for me. To see it like it is breaks my heart. Especially knowing that I have to find someone willing to take it.
