So if the Canada film is circlevision, isn't China too?That doesn't sound all that pleasant. And standing too?
Remember me? I'm your fellow "obsessed with Disney in November" disser! I finished your TR a while ago and I enjoyed it so much! How neat to read about someone else's trip who was there at the same time that we were! I just happened to stumbled across your PTR, so of'course, I had to join in! I know I'm a little late, but I will go back and catch up. I must say though that reading along will be very hard for me since we will not be going this year. 
I will absolutley me living vicariously through you and your family in November! I really don't even know what to do with myself by not having a fall trip to plan and prepare for. 
Oh well, I am very much looking forward to reading along with you and enjoying all the pictures of the fun you have. And I am super excited to see pictures of the BWI too. I think I would like to stay there one day. Anyway, going back now to catch up! 
What?????
Tomorrow sounds good to me!!!!!!!!!
I have suffered terrible this year with allergies since June . Because of my High Bp and other heath conditions and the meds I take daily I just have to suffer, I can use a saline nasal spray Whoo hoo lol. My Dr specifically told me not to take sudafed since it is one of the worse for elevateing Bp, just a word of caution to anyone out there with High Bp
Did you call???
Hello!!!
So glad you are here! Your TR was so great. Yes, it was very neat to read someone elses report who was there at the same exact time! I hope you'll be planning another trip very soon. 
Have you gone back to work yet? I remember you were thinking about it.
What? What's that?
Oh never mind. It's just me, passing time while we wait for Ms. Gainfully Employed to get back into town.
Ready when you are, Shelly.
Hate to hijack Shelly's thread, but I feel confident she wants us to keep things movin' right along while she's skipped out on us!!!!! It's either talk about her trip for her, or get up and start cleaning this house....guess we better talk.... a lot!!!!
I get this sinus/allergy junk every fall and spring, and I always seem to forget how awful it becomes if I ignore it!!! The lethargy that accompanies it is probably the worst....but,...I have my kids on a walking mission again...I always try to have them walk a few miles a day when our trip is about 2 months out...they forget how long it takes just to get from the room to the first ride!!!! We had to skip a few nights because I just couldnt do it..but we did 2 miles last night...I like to do a mile in 15 min,but they were drraaaagggging last nite so it took 20 min for a mile....pretty good I guess, considering they are not marathoners!!
Ok Shelly.....there's a jumpstart for ya!!!!
As long as we are hijacking Shelly's thread
Well I'm glad you have been able to keep yourselves entertained while I was away! Sorry this PTR has been so boring this far. Tomorrow will be the day. Everyone plan to be here!! I'm taking a day off! 
Hi Shelly!! I just stumbled across this PTR today!!
I'm so glad you're here!
You ladies are cracking me up!!
Of course I remember you!!
, but I just don't want anything to interfere with my mommy duties! I know you can totally relate! I am really still holding out for a job at DD's school. I would love to be there with her and be on the same schedule that she is on. I know you love that aspect of working in the same school system as your boys. 
, so I will trust your opinions! Can't wait to read more about all your plans!
My trip is PAID IN FULL!!!
And in 50 days from tomorrow we will be at Disney!!!!!!!!!!!
50 days from right now I will be relaxing on the Boardwalk!!
It was on our second trip when I found my love for DHS (MGM back then). We walked in and I had this huge smile on my face and DH looked at me funny like why do you have that goofy look on your face? (although he didn't say that! ) And I just looked at him and said there's something about this park I just love, yep this is my favorite! 
All caught up! Your plans sound great! I love the pictures of the boys on different trips.
Your PTR certainly has not been boring, I know I have enjoyed every post and picture so far, but I am happy you do not have to work tomorrow and can not wait to see the next installment.
Oh my!!!! I missed the paid in full party and the 50 day party!
We'll just call it being fashionably late.
I hope to be planning a trip soon too. In fact, I'd love your opinion on that......... we can go either the end of February, end of October, or early December (all 2011 dates). I just can't decide! Each one has pros and cons. February is the soonest, so of'course that is enticing. But, I have no idea about crowds or weather and there is nothing going on that time of year (no decorations or special events, like Christmas, etc.) I've also already missed the 180 day mark for dining reservations. October sounds good b/c I'd love to see all the fall decorations and do the party, but I'm worried it will be too hot. A December trip would cause DD to miss 5 days of school (she has a winter/fall break in Feb and Oct. so she wouldn't miss as much time then.) But that is really the only drawback to December other than it is a LONG time away! So what would you do???? I'd love some advice.
I am still working from home keeping kids after school and working part time for my aunt who has her own accounting business. I love working from home and, like you, being able to be involved in everything that my DD is doing at school and other activites. I did go for an interview last week for a part time accounting job but the "boss" assured me that my schedule would be totally flexible. I have very mixed feelings on it though. I think about how the extra money would allow for more Disney time
Anyway, all your plans sound so wonderful. I think you have sold me on the BWI. I really thought my number one resort would be the BC, but I don't think my DD is quite old enough to really enjoy the pool there. So BWI is sounding like a perfect fit for us too. I know you said CBR was your favorite moderate, but did you think it was too spread out? I've heard people say they love it but it is too big and there is too much walking. Do you agree with that? There is so much walking already at Disney, that I admit, I wouldn't want to do a lot of walking at the resort either. Just curious what you thought.
I'm also wondering why you chose the 40% off the resort instead of free dining? Are you guys doing the dining plan this time?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but we seem to have a lot in common and think very much alike
But I would worry about spring break crowds and paying peak season rates. 
I would probably choose October over December for a few reasons. One - it is sooner! And two - I have a few DIS friends who went at the beginning of December and even though it is still considered value season it was very crowded. Plus depending on your dates you could end up there during Pop Warner and the parade taping. Yes, we love CBR very much! We have never found it too big. You can book a 'preferred room' there are be guaranteed a room right next to everything. But both times we have stayed there we have booked a standard room and had about a 3-5 minute walk to get to everything. No big deal! We also walked from the furthest village out to the main area (just to see what all the complaining about the walking was about) and it took us 7 minutes. 
Your DD would love the pools and slides there!! No, we are not doing the DDP. I couldn't bring myself to pay an adult price for DS11 who will likely order off the kids menu all week. Plus we have been wanting to eat at T-Rex which isn't on the DDP. So, we will not have a TS everyday of the trip, but we still have several. It will be interesting to see how we come out money-wise without the DDP. And then we will know for next time! I just don't see us getting the DDP again anytime soon, especially after DS8 (almost 9) turns 10. 
Is this the end for a while or just 1 day off?
They should know by now to trust your advice! You wouldn't steer them wrong!
We saw it on our first trip, when both the kids were young. I remember that we enjoyed it, but that was so long ago. We didn't do it on our last 2 trips, when the kids were older. If nothing else, it is a chance to sit down for a little while and rest your feet, while being entertained at the same time. 
ooh- forgot to tell you!! I thought about you yesterday when I got the mail. In it was my Williams-Sonoma catalog and they have Star Wars cookie cutters and pancake molds and aprons and...... oh here, just look---
I can't remember if you have one close to you or not. I think there might be one in RPM but I can't remember. I've lived in too many areas with too many malls and they all get smooshed together in my brain. It's actually very very good- Drew even enjoys it when we go. Of course Belle has to go see her Beast so Drew just has to endure it.
Mann's Chinese theater is, um, interesting. It was pitch black dark and you sat there listening to these headsets that probably had butt germs or some such grossness all over them... in your ears. Yeah- I sat there with them off for most of the time b/c I was sure my ears would fall off from butt germs in the next day or two and then I'd have to get Mickey ears to replace my human ears, and I figured it just wasn't worth it.
