GOOD MORNING!!

SO, I FI-I-INALLY PUT MY WDW PICS ONTO PHOTOBUCKET - AND IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO UPLOAD THEM AND I HAD TO GO TO BED SO, I AM GOING TO CONTINUE TONIGHT AND POST THEM HERE FINALLY!! I CAN'T LOG ONTO PHOTOBUCKET FORM WORK (SURPRISE,SURPRISE) SO I WILL DO IT WHEN I GET HOME- SCOUTS HONOR. ALTHOUGH, I WILL WARN YOU GUYS - I NEVER NOTICED - BUT THEY ARE KINDA BORING, I MEAN I LIKE 'EM... BUT THERE IS LIKE A MILLION PICTURES OF ME AND BOB TAKING CLOSE UP PICS OF OURSELVES.... SO, ENJOY!! HAHA

ALSO - I HAVE A QUESTION... I AM STARTING TO PLAN MY IMAGINARY WDW VACATION FOR MAY (BECAUSE I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN) AND I NEED SOME OPINIONS... WE WANT TO GO IN MAY AGAIN FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY
(MAY 3RD) AND MY B-DAY IS THE 11TH SO WE WOULD LIKE TO BE THERE FOR THAT (ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT NECISSARY) I AM HAVING A HARD TIME DECIDING WHEN TO GO BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I WASTED A LOT OF MONEY THE LAST TIME ON UNNECISSARY PARK TICKETS.... (WE ARRIVED AT 3:30 AND WENT TO EPCOT THAT NIGHT SO I KINDA FEEL LIKE WE "WASTED" A TICKET ON JUST A FEW HOURS, BUT THEN ANOTHER NIGHT WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM UNIVERSAL - WE COULDN'T GO TO A PARK BECASUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TICKETS) I AM JUST NOT SUCH A GOOD PLANNER ... SO I AM WONDERING IF I SHOULD GET AN EVENING FLIGHT AND NOT GO TO A PARK UNTL THE NEXT DAY (BECAUSE WE ARE SO TIRED ANYWAYS) - OR STILL GO IN THE AM BUT NOT GO TO A PARK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY? AND SHOULD I GO SATURDAY - SATURDAY OR FRIDAY - FRIDAY OR MONDAY TO MONDAY?? ..... ? OR DO I GO FOR LONGER THAN 1 WEEK ? LIKE 8 DAYS? ... OR 10

I JUST CAN'T DECIDE

HELP ME MAYERS!!




PS - CONGRATS JO ON THE MOVE!!!
SEA - HOW WAS DINNER?

 

[mari360]

Hey RF....well here is the little wisdom that i have....u guys can leave on the 3rd and have a anniverary dinner at a resort... leave on the 12 and you would have been there for ur anniv. and bday... but that would be 10 days... the last 2 times i went i got the tickets for my whole stay. Only because it was like a difference of like 5 dollars. so not that bad. i usually like to go the 2nd week in May...

Jo - Good news on the move.... AR beware the jobirds are on their way!!

 

[rusafee1183]

THANKS MARI! I AM RUNNING SOME NUMBERS NOW AND IT IS LOOKING LIKE WE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO BE THERE FOR A WEEK. OH WELL, JUST BECAUSE I SPOILED MYSELF AND WENT FOR SO LONG LAST TIME - DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE TO GO FOR SO LONG EVERYTIME ...

I HEAR THAT THE RATES COMING OUT OF PGH ON TUES & WED GOING SOUTHWEST ARE REALLY CHEAP ... SO MAYBE WE WILL CONSIDER DOING A WED THRU TUE TRIP

I AM CONSIDERING SKIPPING THE PARK HOPPER THIS TIME TOO... I THINK THAT IF I PLAN BETTER WE CAN DO 1 PARK PER DAY.... BUT, CAN YOU LEAVE AND COME BACK TO THE SAME PARK LATER THAT DAY? OR IS IT ONCE YOU LEAVE YOU'RE DONE?? IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN I HAVE TO GET THE PH - WE ALWAYS LEAVE IN THE AFTERNOON

HOW DO YOU GUYS FEEL ABOUT SW? I KNOW SHELLY HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE ... WOULD YOU FLY THEM AGAIN? WERE THE PRICES REALLY THAT GOOD?

WHAT EXACTLY IS SW DING?

THANKS GUYS!
LOOKS LIKE IT'S SHAPING UP TO BE ANOTHER SLOW DAY IN HERE

Seacrest - Happy Anniversary! Tell us all about it! How was your dinner? I LOVE the pic of you and your sweetie on your wedding day! You guys were just kids!

Mari - I hope your DSS is doing better today!

RF - We tend to go for 7 or 8 days. We have flown SW and had very good experiences with them. I just hate that Shelly had a bad experience since I had told her how well flying with them has went for us. I usually fly them to Dallas, Phoenix, or Chicago because they have such great rates and direct flights and I am looking at flying them to Las Vegas. They have a direct flight from here for that too. Since you just went, I think you could be very happy with 7 days. It will seem like you never left!


Shelly - It sounds like you guys have been super busy. I am going to check out your dining report when I get a chance.

Jo - Welcome back to AR! What excitement there must be in your house today. While I love how my house looks when it is on the market, I hate all the work that goes into getting it ready to sell! I think I remember reading that you asked about Shiloh Christian. All I know is that they have an awesome football team. I asked my son about it too and that was his same comment. FYI - If you do decide to go private, do consider that when you are buying your home. It takes a chunk of money to send kids to private schools. I haven't lived in NW AR but I think from what my brother and his wife say that the schools there are better than they are in Little Rock. You are lucky to have girl friends that are already there who can give you the 411 on the situation, just filter what they tell you and consider the sources and then decide what will be best for you family. Let me know if there is anything I can do down here for ya!

Hello all! The kids just finished up swimming lessons today! They did so great!

Sea - How was the anniversary dinner?

Hey Mari!

RF - I too am planning my 2009 trip from Wed to Tues and hoping for low airfare. Those are the best days for Air Tran and SW out of Pitt. Air Tran already has their rates out for January, and they are at $109 each way. I'm hoping they will come down. I would much rather fly with them than SW. I recently got a letter from SW basically telling me that - although we know this is not the response you were hoping for, we aren't going to do anything for you. . . How crappy is that??? I think Huggie said they broke 2 pieces of her luggage in May. I'm not sure what ever come of her situation. I would only fly with them if the rates were A LOT lower than anyone else. But from what I'm seeing SW's haven't been running that much lower lately. They would have to be A LOT lower for me considering that I might possibly have to purchase new luggage every trip with them! And all the delays, and their website being down when I needed to print my boarding passes. Too much trouble!

We would like to fly late on a Wed night and then of course we wouldn't need tickets for that day. Plus DH can work that day and the kids can go to school, then they would only miss 4 days instead of 5. And then we'd fly back on a Tues afternoon. As far as the park hopper's go, they have always been a free add-on in May. So you should be able to get them without paying for them. I hope you didn't pay for them last month! I will only get them if they are free when I go. We paid for them only once on our first trip and we only "hopped" one day. Not worth the extra money to us!

Good luck with all the decisions!!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Hi NC!!

Sulley - Where are you?????????????? I need help deciding when to go in January!!!!!

 

[mari360]

Hey all.....

RF - i would go from wed to tues.. the fares are a lot cheaper... next time i go i'm considering that. the way the airlines r going now it's too crazy... i also wouldn't plan on going to universal if you really want to do all the parks.. that alone saves u on taxi there and the tickets. If you have AAA you can also go through them. Last year i saves about 500 booking through them.

Shelly - Yay for swim class i want to enroll my DD into it next year...

Jo - Goodluck with the selling of the house.

Good morning!

RF - Awesome WDW pics!!! Thank you for sharing them with us. It looks like you had a fantasMIC time!

NC - Get ready Jo is going to be rolling into your neck of the woods pretty soon.
How is the aluminum foil kitchen doing?

Jo -Have you started packing yet? Is the sign up on the lawn?

Shelly - It is so good that your boys are taking swimming lessons. You wouldn't believe how many kids in LA don't know how to swim or are afraid of the water.

Mari - Hello!!!

Huggie - Hello!!!

We had a very nice meal at Ruth's Chris. The food was hot and very tasty.
We had wonderful day of celebrating - the next 25 are going to be even better!
