Changes are afoot my friends!
I know your all completely shocked!
I've been calling DVC member services every few days to check on my waitlist. If you remember, our first 3 night where a standard view 1 bedroom at Kidani. I had waitlisted savannah view for those nights!
I call, ms tells me the waitlist is still active, they check to see if anything has become available just to make sure, because apparently the waitlist system is all that full-proof. They tell me nothings available at Kidani. I say ok and ask them to check a few other places I may want to stay. Jambo House, Boardwalk and BLT.
Nothing, nothing and more nothing!
But today I got SUPER DUPER, ALIUPER LUCKY!
So, I know your all wondering what I got!
Ehmmmm, drum roll please....
1 bedroom,
Lake view,
Bay Lake Towers!
WOW! Disney magic has been shining on me!
I actually said to the CM "are you sure?!" He said "Yes, you got really lucky!" Well, your certainly right sir, book that baby NOW!!
The CM was so helpful and took care of everything! I think we're all set! I also know I won't be changing anything else! I'm done with changes! I can't even begin to fathom how many different versions of this trip there have been!
First it was all SSR, then it was Kidani and SSR, then Kidani and GF, then Kidani and BLT, now BLT and BLT! With all the little tweaks in between I think I'm on version 9,852!
Anyway, why not keep the Kidani reservation you ask, I thought you love Kidani you say?
Yes, but I fail to see the point, at least to me, of staying at Kidani with a view of the parking lot. Really, with any view less then a savannah view is not what I wanted!
I know I'm a snob, l admit it! I love Kidani! LOVE IT! But, to me, Kidani is about sitting on my balcony with my morning coffee or evening wine with zebras and giraffe right in front of me! A view of anything less then that, well, I feel like I'm settling! I don't want to settle
When BLT popped up I had to take it! 44 days out I feel like my chances of the savannah view waitlist coming through are getting less and less. I may very well have happened, but it may not have! This was an opportunity I couldn't pass up! I guarantee that if I waited even a few minutes more to make my call to ms I wouldn't have gotten that reservation!
I think someone had to have
just cancelled a 1 bedroom, lake view BLT reservation for me to get it!
Like I said, SUPER DUPER, ALIUPER LUCK!
I did have to tell DH about the BLT theme park view for the second half of the trip! He came into the kitchen when I was on the phone and overheard me changing the reservation. I explained why I was changing it and he completely agreed no savannah, no kidani! Then I told him where we were staying instead! He was very, very happy! So, I told him about the end of the week! He was even more excited! Woo hoo!!!
Ahhh! This is going to be the best trip ever!!!!
I'm trying to keep that positive attitude through all things right now! But, I do need to graciously ask my dis friends for a little pixie dust and prayers from my more religious friends.
My sister, Kerri, is very sick and in the hospital. She has always had health issues. We kinda joke that she's a medical phenomenon. There never seems to be a reason for her issues but they're always bad and weird!
She started going blind in one eye during her senior year of high school. It progressed over the years and several years ago she went completely blind in that eye. Countless doctors couldn't figure out why it happened.
When she was pregnant with my nephew, who is now 9 1/2 years old, her body fought the pregnancy off like it was a virus or a disease. That resulted my him being born 3 months early weighing a little over a pound. Kerri's blood pressure was insanely high and she was within minutes of dying.
Anyway, she hasn't been feeling well for a longtime. There are lots of other issues on top of the general not feeling well. She recently started getting terrible headaches and passing out!
Yesterday she passed out and feel down the stairs home alone with my nephew! He had to call 911!
Like I said, she's in the hospital and they are running all sorts of tests. Her neurologist thinks she has some sort of autoimmune disease that once diagnosed will explain everything.
To make matters worse, they did a full body cat scan yesterday and found a lump in her breast! She was supposed to have a monogram and breast ultrasound today.
My parents are with her and will stay at her house indefinitely. Once she is released from the hospital, which from what the nurse said won't be anytime soon, she can't be home alone!
She lives in NJ. It's killing me that I can't be there. It's killing me even more that I can't just go and grab my nephew and have him stay with us! The poor kid is so scared! I spoke to him on the phone last night and he's terrified! He was fighting tears!
I could definitely use pixie dust and prayers! It would mean a lot! Thanks!
HOW did I miss that??? Going back to read. Disney would be paying my therapy for YEARS if there was a 6' snake. 
Your DH is too cute with the mug picture. And of course you want to take squirrel pics... who wouldn't??
I think Earl is confused about how this is supposed to work, not that I'm complaining!
