Looking for Control Freaks & Worry Warts - Part 4!!!

wooo-hooo for more points!

Got back Sat night and am WIPED! Don't know of I'll do a TR but... we are booking DCL for Jan 2011! We also bought another 100 points of DVC. This time at AKV.

That's when we're planning on going! (Jan 2011)....so now DH got an idea in his head from the owner of the company he works at....apparently he rented a vacation home for $750 for a week, told DH that was the way to go. So now he's all about doing that...but it just seems like a logistical nightmare - between 2 kids and coordinating everything, plus the extra expense of either driving or renting a car, etc. Ugh. But he gets the heebie jeebies when I mention I want to stay at a monorail resort...I just want to try it once. Oh well. Who knows what we'll do. At this point we're holding out to see what the deals are for next January....I've gotten so many codes for this year, but the furthest out was October.

im staying off site in october. Got a condo for $550 for 7 nights. I'll let you know what happens with all of the logistics.

I don't know if I could stay off site, but I am willing to try it once. We are now completing the MODS and will not stay at a Value again we hated it.

Laura I really hope you like it.

Hi,

we are also staying offsite in October - vacation homes really are the way to go!! I hate sharing a room with the kids!! I love laundry and cooking facilities, and a private pool too.

So I really want to go on the Disney Dream on its maiden voyage but the points needed are ridiculous! Grrr...maybe we will rent some for this trip. Can't believe I am planning January 2011 already!

 

[LydiaAch]

Did I kill the thread?

 

[soontobewed07]

No things have been a bit crazy. I have been on the Dis but only to look at the CSR resort thread and update our trip report.

Oh and add a new ticker!

 

[Debbie6221]

[CRdisMom]

Hi All! I just can't keep up anymore.

Tessa, I'll be over to your PTR!

Laura - glad you're home safe and sound and had a great get-away!
Debbie - Hi! Keep us going!
Lydia - I'm glad you had a good time - I'm booked for Apr 2011 already, so we're wondering what to do in 2012!
Shelly and Tessa - those off-site properties look great! If we ever don't have the points, that would be the way to go!

I need to go to bed!

The "official" Across the Pond DISMEET!!!!

We spent about 1/2 hr just gabbing with Erin, Chloe and Erin's parents. Great wonderful people! Felt like I've known them all my life!!!

Erin, it was SOOOOO wonderful to meet up with you!!!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

How fun! I'm so happy you got to meet up! Thanks for posting these pics, Kara - so much easier to see here than on the phone or FB!

You all look beautiful! I can't believe how big both girls are getting! Chloe is really getting tall!

Hi Erin!

It was so wonderful to meet you and Chloe! Thank you for letting us get a photo together. I found myself tongue tied for some reason when we met. My husband had acted like a complete child that morning which is why he was not with the kids and I, maybe that was it, as I was so flustered by it...lol. I looked at my daughter, Allison, and realized I totally forgot to even introduce you to my kids! I swear I don't know where my head was. I am so glad Chloe liked her Disney goodies. We thought it would be neat to get her postcards and pamphlets from the visitor centers we stopped at and throw them in the bag too. Don't you know we forgot to get her anything from our own state of North Carolina! You all looked like you were having a great time. We loved that Lilo and Stitch breakfast. Ben had a fantastic time celebrating his birthday at Disney. I do wish the weather had been warmer for us all though! Can't wait for you to get back and start writing that trip report. Hope you all had a fabulous vacation.

Hi Ladies!
Back from the World and had a fabulous trip. The Poly is still my favorite resort, just can't get enough of that place. The weather sure was cold though. It was odd to see so many people at DW with coats, jeans and boots on! The crowd level was good though and the wait times for rides were very short if not walk-on. We finally got to do Toy Story Mania, we all loved it. That was our longest wait being around 35 minutes but well worth it. We stayed a day longer in Florida due to the weaher we were having here at home in NC. We were shocked to hear we were expecting snow as we live on the east coast and rarely see snow. Don't you know we came home to 7 inches of it!! I am going to post vacation photos on my facebook account if anyone is interested. There are over 500 ppl with the name Lisa Shaw listed on there but my profile pic is a black Mickey head with my name written inside it if you'd like to add me as a friend.

Lisa....who is glad to be home but already dreaming of the next trip.

Doing good Lisa! I'm busy with my business and getting used to our empty house. DS and fam in Texas are planning a visit home in June I'm excited about that! I'm earning a cruise to Jamaica to replace the Hawaii one - Jim says free is better! Funny thing is, I'm way more excited about the DCL west coast in 14 months than I am about this Fall cruise!

I'll find you on FB - promise - I went over there, and then got distracted by something - that FB always sucks me in.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Okay, didn't find you - found a Mickey on a black background with "Smile" written next to it in red - is that you? I looked at all of them My link is here in my siggie - why don't you find me???
