Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[MAGICFOR2]

KARA - THAT'S AWESOME ON THE NOT MOVING!!! Congrats!!

I'm excited because at lunch today I'm calling for my ressie's and my ADRs! DH said go ahead and make them even though the DVisa Rewards card isn't here yet. YEAH!!

Yeah Tina! It's happening!

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Good morning everyone.

Sounds like last night was the time to talk things over and make decisions!

Kara - congrats on not moving. I'll be there soon. Seriously though, that area is a resort itself, so I'm happy that you will be staying -especially since you have done so much to get the house the way you want it!

Tina - congrats on making your ADRs today and the upcoming trip!

As for our saga, we also talked last night and decided on WDW, so that is done.

Tammie - we went that way because the amount of time at the beach and WDW is really the same. The driving vs flying makes our "days" equal really.

Kara - We really can't stay for another day. I don't want to take advantage of my BF. Two nights is what she offered and I'm so thankful for that - KWIM?

I ordered my photopass CD last night and ordered my scrapbook. I can't wait to see how it turned out.

Today I'm going to the education store to get some things to work on with Nicolas this summer. He holds his pencil like an ice pick so I'm going to get a guide from them and some workbooks for handwriting.

Okay, that is all. You may now go about your day.

Yeah Tina, Yeah Tina, Yeah Tina!!!! Git those ADRS!!!!!!!

Lydia - I guess it depends on your school district. When we lived in SC they seriously frowned on taking kids out of school for vacations. Here in Florida it is no big deal!!! So you would not necessarily need to pull them out of school during peak times. Especially in elementary school - middle and high school is a different story.

The other option is to buy more than you think you'll need, and rent them out!!! That basically pays your maintenance on those points for that year......

Lorrie - yea on a final decision! Did you say you're staying at BC? I think we're gonna do 3 nights at WDW and 4 night DCL in the fall - looking at October right now I think - want to make sure that hurrican season is almost over..... either way, we'll be taking out insurance on that one.

Didn't think about that. I declined the insurance. We're going Mid-Nov for two nights -think I need to change that?

Yes, we're doing BC. I priced it out, and looks like was saved almost $350 on our stay.

I'm stumpted at what DCL is...

 

[karajeboo]

Lorrie - mid-Nov you should be fine - although it is the rainy season.....

DCL = Disney CRUISE line!!!!! He's finally come around!

Now that we are NOT moving, we want to move! Well, not really, but it is really scary to know that we are sooooo upside down in our house right now. If we HAD to sell for some reason, we would lose sooooo much money. That was really the ONLY reason we wanted to move. Actually, we're relieved that we are staying. I want to get these floors redone - rip up carpet (and maybe some tile) and lay hardwoods. Our house is so "vanilla" right now - beige wall, beige carpet, beige tile, and being the rocket scientists we are we bought beige family room furniture!!! So I think dark hardwoods will really warm up the house.

Good Morning girls well it looks like we are moving our dates one more time and this IS IT. Our company asked that we take the week before off so we can get ready for a state inspection. I agreed this way we can take of a full 10 days. We also booked a ticket for Luca so we can get the free dining for him it winds up saving us money because he eats his own meal and we didn't book any buffets this time. Although I think I am going to do Cape May.

Now I missed what happened to Mark's Family, but Debbie you and your family are always in my prayers. I will pray extra tonight

Kara- WOO HOO on not moving I am glad you won't have to move Ally back to another school.

Tammie- Wow the kids are really moving quickly I am sure the move will be good for them.

Tina- So exciting on the trip. I can't wait to make my ADR's now I have to readjust my dates so I can do that.

Hi to everyone else I am going to start my Pre trip report now that I have the dates down PAT!

 

[karajeboo]

I just hired a cleaning lady!!!!! She starts on Tuesday!

AND I just emailed BSIL and asked her if she ordered the photopass cd yet. Then I casually mentioned that I never altered any of our photos after we entered the card#. Let's see what she has to say about THAT!

 

[karajeboo]

She just emailed me back that she is ordering the cd tonight...... so I replied that all our pics are GONE! I'll see what she says......

 

[karajeboo]

OK so she just said that our photos were moved to a separate folder because they needed to make room (BS!!!! We had over 800 photos a year ago!) and that I can just add the number again. Not true! I've tried to add the number and I"m told that it is already associated with the account.

She'd better figure a way out of this one!!!!

 

[LydiaAch]

She just emailed me back that she is ordering the cd tonight...... so I replied that all our pics are GONE! I'll see what she says......

I would KILL her!

 

[karajeboo]

She is lying through her teeth now!!! I just know this was deliberate. She is a vindictive, jealous, nasty........

She is mad because we live so close, and she had to be medicated when they got home cause she was so sad!!!!! So I think this was a deliberate move on her part..... She deleted them and now tries to make up some story?

 

[CRdisMom]

hmmm it sounds like a justifiable banishment to me. I can't wait to see what she says next. Does she still owe you for the last photo book fiasco?

 

[UsNew2Disney2008]

Kara,

She beats anything I have EVER seen! I can't believe she is lying to you like that. What are you going to do? You'd better not let her get away with it without letting her know you know what she did.

I'm doing household stuff today and just dreaming that I could get even 8 hours away from it all...

If only...

 

[soontobewed07]

Kara- Sooo Not called for. She is driving me crazy and she is not even MY family!!!! Good Luck and I hope she can figure out a way to get the photos back

TRIP RE BOOKED We are going for Free dining and added Luca on as 3 so we could get his dining included. We bought a 1 day base ticket for him which cost 61.00 or so and his dining is included for the week. The only bad thing is we had to get 2 double beds,but he wont need the pack and play we just need to have them bring in bed rails!!!

So Total for 8 days/7 nights was 1407.62 I think that is awsome!

Jillian, I think it is awesome! YAY for you!

You got me to rethink our trip. Ours is 1024 for 2 nights, 2 base tickets, basic DDP.

I checked - in two weeks we could go, change from BC to the POP and save about $300. The flights are better - could arrive at 9 am and leave at 8:45 pm. giving us 3 full days.

Wish I hadn't looked.

Anyone wanna pick for me?

 

[TinaLala]

Just jumping in quickly - we've got our Daisy Bridging ceremony tonight and then chiropractor (scary).

I booked my stay, but couldn't book ADR - I'm a little scared about it because my friend who's going the same week but arriving a few days before me tried to book LeCellier and couldn't get in until the last day of her trip - YIKES! That's the one place I really want to go to besides Ohana!

Now I have to plan two birthday parties and save every dime we see until then. Man flights are wicked - any good deals out there?

 

[karajeboo]

Lorrie - two weeks from now???? No way! Crowded and HOT!!!!

Tina, look at jet blue
