Yeah! I am considering getting the AP and the DDE for our trip instead of the dining plan. Does everyone give you the 20%? How about the shopping - good discounts? It seems like the DVC gives you 10% alot anyway. Do you save on alcohol with the DDE?

Tammy - I can't say it's accepted everywhere but it is at MOST places. There's a link around here somewhere with the list of places it's accepted at. I think the downside is that it's not accepted at alot of CS. But it does take the discound on alcohol, baby!:thumbsup2 As for stores, I think it's alot of the same places that discount with the DVC. Did you know DVC gets a $100 discount PER AP ticket? :woohoo:
 
Cammie - I tried telling Jeff about the discount for passes? He laughed at me. And now with the "deal" that we got for our passes, he's laughing even harder. I'll still get him!!!

BTW, what are some more of the DDE benefits?
 
Did any of you see this thread on the DISign board? Thought of you, Debbie!

I know! You really got my attention when you said that before! I had forgotten about that. AP doesn't really make sense for us as we kind of do every other year - both for DL and for WDW. I was just thinking with the discount and the DDE, maybe it would pay to get one AP next year instead of the DDP. Or I wonder if you can use the DDP for your meal, and then the DDP for your appy and bar items?

If you mean -- use the DDE for appy and bar items.....I think you can!:thumbsup2
 
Good morning ladies!!!!! This time tomorrow I will be heading to collect a nice check for the sale of our house!!! :cool1: And ready to spend it again on the summer kitchen outside! But the screen enclosure guy called me yesterday to say that he "goofed" on the quote he gave us. He is also doing the pavers out there and he had noted on the quote that it included a concrete pad under the pavers. We told him we didn't need that, just to do it with a sand base (based on what our contractor recommended to save money) and he told us to take $3K off the price. Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll........ he said that the quote did NOT include the concrete after all. Nice guy and he is groveling now, and quite frankly we were shocked at how low the quote came in compared to others we had gotten. Our contractor swears by this company so I think I'm going to call him and agree to split the difference, since after all, it is a written quote so I guess I could hold him to it, but I do think it was a mistake, and even if he splits the difference it will still be a great price.

I just posted my first nasty message on the resort boards. Somebody posted that they haven't stayed at a value resort since they were "poor." How rude is that????? I don't consider us poor by any means, but we like our gawdy little (er, actually HUGE) resort out in the middle of nowhere! :rotfl: I just think it was a little rude to insinuate that people who stay at values are poor. That would equate to Debbie being a bazillionere cause she stays at GF, right? And who knows, maybe Debbie IS a bazillionere!!!! In which case, Debbie, you're my best friend!!! :rotfl2:

I will miss y'all this weekend - heading up to stay with the inlaws until Sunday. Then back for all the Memorial Day festivities at our pool. I finally figured out this digital frame and loaded about 200 pics for the inlaws. Of those 200, Ally is in nearly double the pics as both nephews combined. Hey, I can't help it if they didn't utilize the photopass photogs! And since SIL maybe took 20 pics the whole week and didn't share with us..... But I know that MIL and FIL want pics of all the grandkids so I loaded as many as I could. However, I did make sure that the only pics of sil and bil were the group shots! :lmao: Seriously, she didn't want to spring for more than $35 on a gift for them so why would I include her in this project???? And I plan to wrap it nicely with a card from Jeff, Kara and Ally ONLY! OK, maybe I won't actually write "only" on the card, but they'll know.......

The photobook should arrive today. I'm soooo excited to see it. When Jeff found out that you could add pages, he said he should have called his sister and told her that we were going to make it like 50-60 pages (20 are included then $1.50 for each additional page) and if she didn't like it she didn't have to be included! You go Jeff! But I never even told him about it so, oh well....

OK, gotta get some work done now..... later!
 
Hey - got to catch up again. ALWAYS behind.

I got invited to a bow party Sunday. I'm not into those party things, but saw this picture and now I'm going. She is a SAHM who makes custom bows -

Aren't they cool?!?

Anyway, that just made me think of all my CIFs and I had to share. I'll catch up later. :lmao:
 
Those Bows are great.

Kara- Yeah on the house and try to have a nice relaxing weekend. Your in laws will just love their gift from YOUR FAMILY!:lmao: That darn SIL of yours My DH doesn't talk to his sister so I don't have those problems.

Well I woke up this morning to find the cats went pee on the couch. The door to the litter box was closed Mike is very VERY angry and there is nothing I can say except it's our fault the door was closed. :confused3

Today I have to exchange clothes that Luca got for his birthday and I am getting a pedi. done and I am going to get my eyebrows waxed. I also may check out that sale at Macy's today to see if they have anything worth anything.

Have a great Thursday talk to you all later.
 
Jillian - so sorry about the couch! We had the same thing last night except it was our BED! Apparently Bucky had a "moment" and wet the bed sometime during the day yesterday. He's never done anything like this before, I thought I was over this when we had Bella put down. So I'm still trying to get everything washed up. Once we get back, I'm going to tackle decorating our bedroom. I said I wasn't going to do anything as long as Bella was alive, since she had several "moments" on our bed, but now I can get a new comforter, etc. I just love decorating!
 
Good morning girls....
Kara, I am a bazillionaire!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl2: :rotfl2:
In my dreams! I just am an idiot blowing my children's college education to have magical times in WDW! Hey, that's what student loans are for right? They aren't gonna give us a loan to go to WDW?
So what does it make me if I am staying half at ASM and half at GF???:confused3
All kidding aside I do spend more then I should BUT I AM NOT touching my kids money!
You were right to put them in their place. Unfortunately there are some disers who aren't very educated and say some stupid stuff so she might have money now but she's probably still an idiot!
Have a fun weekend with the in-laws. I was thinking....even though your sister is a ***** at least she wore matching T-shirts with all of you. She doesn't seem the type that would and they were all so cute (the shirts....well and your family of course).
Cool beans on the house money and getting the work done for the summer...you catch a break sometimes and other times you got to bite the bullet right!

Jillian...have a nice pedi! I think I am going to go before Naples (which is in two weeks!).

Renee...those bows are amazing!!! I could never do that with my ADD and all!:rotfl2:

Hey, if you guys ever need cute girly hair bows I have an amazing bow girl I found on Ebay and now we are friendly. She is actually the one who introduced me to the DIS! So I have a LOT to thank her for!

Hi Tessa! Better???
Hey where's Erin?! Did she decide to STAY in Paris forever!
What's up Cammie?

We are going to Wisconsin Friday night or Saturday morn. It is a tad chilly here now but will actually be warming up for the weekend (mid 70's to 80's). Traditionally people camp memorial weekend and the weather is always TERRIBLE so this is shocking!
 
Sorry about the peeing incidents girls! That stinks (literally)...My whole life seems to revolve around pee. My kids drink way to much liquid all day and well lets just say "leakage", accidents, full diapers, bed wetting....
 
I just got all our utilities shut off at the old house - whew! Glad that's all over!

I was a bit nervous after my post - and it wasn't that bad, I was just trying to point out that what that DISer said was very rude and judgemental, but I just checked and I got several applause and kudos from recent posters. Wow, I feel so cool now! :rotfl2:

I am so unmotivated to work today - I'm like that anytime I have something on my mind, like the closing, getting a couple days worth of clothes packed up, getting the house picked up, not forgetting to load the dog in the car, too, etc.

Renee, there are a couple of ebay stores that sell those bows - you should learn to make them and then sell them! You could pay for your 21 day trip to WDW that way!
