That's just wrong!
BTW HI!

Hey Deb! I've been busy like the rest of you, but I did manage to make my reservations for WDW. I'm in the process of selecting the places we'd like to eat, so I can make the reservations. It's kinda' keeping my mind off the snow, and cold.

Awesome!! Congrats on the ticker!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you doing the dining plan?

 

[soontobewed07]

I am now trying to figure out what dining to plan for EPCOT ugh...

It's funny how red sox fans don't live in MA anymore we live in our own Nation LOL

I can't wait until Monday it will be 60 here or so that's what they say.

Thank you for your warm welcome I am so glad that others are as silly as me.

duplicate Sorry

No, because we really never eat enough to make it worthwhile. I do make reservations at Yachtsman Steak house for dinner, and Cape May, for the character breakfast though. We often make a few stops on I-Drive while we're in Orlando. There's a place called Tutu Tango that's fantastic, and of course Jimmy Buffett's at Universal.

Well -hello Jillian - hope you feel at home here - I've certainly been made to feel VERY welcome.

And Keahi - I hope you've got plenty of spare rooms - looks like we're all moving out to Hawaii...... temp got down to zero here too.....

Just got my new toy - a new laptop, so setting it up properly - with the weather in Orlando in the top corner (Vista is nice...) 17degC mostly cloudy - sounds ok for January...

I'm getting sooo excited. And worried, and anxious and wanting to start the military planning - my inner control freak is ready to burst out..... The kids keep asking "How long till we go" -so I'm doing a calendar countdown for them to start tomorrow. Makes it seem real.................

Hope you are all well....
Tessa

 

[Debbie6221]

Jillian...we are glad to have ya! We are getting a warm up too this weekend (I think). When we eat in Epcot we always eat in Japan but everyone seems to have their own personal favorite country there. The Coral Reef is incredible. The best bang for your buck if you are on DP but very expensive if you're not!
Just my two sense.

Sounds like a great plan! You guys are making me hungry!

Tessa I think Orlando is still cold. Maybe today it warmed up though. I am terrible at math and metrics so whenever you talk about your temps I have no idea how to convert it!

And it is no wonder none of us have Keahi's address...it's no wonder!!!

PS - If anyone wants my address, just PM me, I'll be glad to share it. I have nothing to hide....

Pancakes and tickers and snow - Oh My! Hi everyone You've been a chatty bunch - don't know where I've been!

Welcome Jillian! We know all about planning, worrying, ziploc bags, ADRs - we're here for ya. Funny how usually your family doesn't want to hear about your planning, then when you get to the world, they say - "so what's the plan?" How do they think it happens Your little guy is adorable, BTW!

Hi Sewer! Nice to see ya - Happy New Year!

Hi Keahi - I don't hate you, just wanna be you! Now you probably won't give me your address Congrats on your ticker! Your cruise is going to be so fun! Have you done DCL before? Thanks for the pancake invite! Makes me want to

Hi Camster - take down those decorations, make a margarita and play some beach boys tunes! Time to start thinking about the

Debbie - love the weather updates - you gals were talking about the cold in FL - did you see the pics of the iguanas falling out of the trees everywhere? Creepy!

Tessa! It's great to hear from you - no planning yet? Didn't you get your ADRs? You are getting so close to your trip! Have fun with your laptop! I am adicted to mine - I mean I sleep with it! I take it to bed to relax, alot of times I fall asleep sitting up with it in my lap and wake up 2 hrs later! I am usually reading TRs on the DIS!

Pam! Nice to see you -

I am really sorry to tell you mid-westerners, and easterners, but we are in the middle of a huge storm front - that means you will probably have it next week - this started Thurs and is supposed to go on for a week It started with alot of wind, then snow, then rain, then snow and 75 MPH winds! The highways out of here were closed yesterday due to downed trees and power lines. A tree fell on a ladies car while she was driving by and killed her, then there was another accident and a fire truck got stuck by a tree on the way there and blocked the road all day so no one could get to the poor people in the accident to help them - this was in the mountains. We are surrounded by mountains, so we are pretty much stuck here in the winter! Yuk! I need to play the Beach Boys Endless Summer and escape!

Thank you! I am planning 2 trips one for March and a big family one for December UGH... I was thinking Coral Reef but I am not sure a 10 mo would be a good idea there. We may go to the beach club and grab something. I just don't want to disturb the diners and all of the dining seems to be for kids who don't bang spoons on the table and scream when they don't want to sit anymore.
By the way no more storms here or our permanant address is going to be Cinderella castle. Thank you again everyone for the warm welcome

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi Gang,
Quick fly by...today is DHs 40th so I will be back later to tell you how he liked his gift.....
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
Our weather here is CRAZY! 60 and dreary!!!!!

 

[tttessa]

Hiya,

OK, I guess I have done some planning - just the ADR's though- got what we needed thankfully - need to do some serious, which park, which days, when to fit shopping etc.....

And, I think I'm becoming a closet American - I changed my temperature readout to deg F for you guys!! We are now officially 46 deg F (8 deg C) - but SUNNY!!
I'm putting up the countdown calender tonight - 90 days the kids can cross off the days - since they kept asking.....and I kept forgetting.....

Cheers,
Tessa

Hey Keahi...You still owe us some pix! I haven't forgotten ya know!

I know, I know -- I've FINALLY gone through the ten bajillion (is that a word?) photos from our trip. I've been meaning to post some on the thread, but I can't from my work computer because my company blocks access to media storage/sharing sites - something about it slows the system down . And my home computer is possessed and very unpredictable. I need an exorcism or to buy new computer.

I promise I will find a way for you to see pictures.

I did a 4 day/3 night Carnival cruise to Mexico with a group of friends from work, but that was over ten years ago. This will be our first DCL cruise, and we're pretty excited. Any advice from a veteran cruiser, like yourself ??

 

[Camster0307]

Good morning ladies - How's everybody doing? It's going to be 64degrees here today - weird! Sent the girls to school in their spring jackets. It's such a tease, though. We'll probably get hit with a major snowstorm next week!

So sad I removed my holiday icons I'm excited though, because I've added a ticker! I've already booked our annual trip - Nov.8-16th. Really am hoping alot of the Christmas decorations will be up - it's Amanda's favorite time to be there. I'm thinking MVMCP and the Osborne lights should be started by then at least. Past two years, they started @ Nov.12th. Also trying to convince my sister and her family to join us. She hates to pull her kids out of school, but they're still so young - 10, 7, & 5. My girls would love to have a Disney vacation with their cousins!

I also have a secret I'm planning a surprise trip for my youngest and I in June! I really want to keep it a secret and then surprise her the day before we leave(always hear of people doing that - think it sooo cool!) Anyway, I'm feeling a little guilty not taking my oldest, but my reality is that raising a special needs child alone is alot of work and demands alot of my time. Many times, Lauren misses out on things because I'm so busy with her sister. And she's always a trooper about it. I thought it would be a nice for just the two of us to get away - we never get time alone together! I just hope I can keep my big mouth shut until June!

 

[tttessa]

Cammie - hope you succeed with your secret - I always intend to, but cannot bear the suspense....
