I dont know much about them myself. (dont die from shock--I know, something vixie doesnt know about Disney...HA HA!) The best thing to do would be to give CRO a call and they can connect you to that department.

We would love to join y'all but the budget is not going to allow it for September and we already have our itinerary made out. I hate to change since it is hard enuf to pin down the Big Boy on what he wants. (mainly for him to stay awake long enuf to ask)

How To Plan Your Magical Gatherings™ vacation

Something special happens when you start planning a Magical Gatherings vacation. The names and faces of your favorite people spring to mind. And before you know it, your little list of everyone who's coming isn't so little anymore. Here are four simple steps to plan your gathering.

Step 1 - Put your group together.
The moment you thought of getting together for a Magical Gatherings vacation, names began racing through your mind. Who to invite? And how do you let them all know how wonderful this vacation will be? Whether you're bringing together friends from across the country or family members across the generations, one great way to get everyone excited is to send them a little magic to kick things off.

Plan a great vacation for everyone by taking advantage of the tips and tricks in My Disney Vacation. With My Disney Vacation, you can:

• Choose the Favorites you're going to see and do.
• Organize and save everything into your own personal itinerary.
• NEW! Get free, full color, keepsake-quality customized Park maps delivered right to your home.
• Receive helpful planning tips and reminders.
• Get the Backstage Pass, your monthly source for news, features, special offers, fun games, downloads and more.
• Get driving directions.
• Add flight information for Disney's Magical Express Service.

Order a Vacation Planning Kit for members of your party.

Step 2 - Decide the best time for everyone.
Any time of year is a great time for a Walt Disney World® vacation. So try to plan your gathering around days that are special to you and your friends and family. Anniversaries. Birthdays. Holidays. You could even make up a holiday all your own that you can celebrate for years to come. Or, include one of the many special Walt Disney World® events that happen throughout the year.

Step 3 - Choose your Resort hotel.
Staying at a select Walt Disney World® Resort hotel lets the magic of your gathering continue 24 hours a day. You might want to choose one Resort hotel for your entire group. This way, no one's ever far away and it's always easy to gather everyone in the morning or after a day in the Parks. Or, you might want to select different Walt Disney World® Resort hotels that fit different tastes and budgets. Then you can visit each other and enjoy a new resort experience each day. No matter which approach you choose, it's best to book as early as possible so room arrangements can be made to fit all of your needs.

Step 4 - Give us a call.
This is the easiest step of all. You've got the people. You know the time. And the place. Now, you can book online or simply have the planner in your group call (407) WDW-MAGIC† or your Travel Agent, to get started on planning your Magical Gatherings vacation.

If you think your gathering is going to be large enough that you are going to need 10 or more rooms, or require special group services please call (800) 327-2989† or click here for more information.

*Availability for each Grand Gatherings experience is limited. The same experience must be purchased by at least 8 Guests in your party. The pricing is per person per experience. Reservations can be made 3 to 180 days in advance, and full payment for each experience is required 45 days prior to arrival without change. Events are subject to change. All prices include tax and gratuity.
† If you are under 18 years of age, you must have your parent or guardian's permission to dial this number.

vixie,
Don't forget you have a coupon for 25% off photopass pix in your moms club handy booklet that should help some on the price of the pix you want. I recieved my mom's club rejects consolation prize as well.


Thanks everyone for your well wishes and thoughts on the my hard times lately, it is appreciated.

[Poohbear67]

Mom2Evie YOUR AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much.

Now is there anything that anyone is interested in doing or do we just want to get rooms close to each other and PARTY ALL THE TIME ????

***gigglesnort*** Welcome to the club-Losers are Us

Unfortuatley I read the fine print in that thing and the 25% is not good for the CD, just prints. I want them ALLLLLL! LOL Last Sept. I got the CD. I had about 100 photos to start and wound up with close to 500 when I was done editing. I couldnt decide which border I liked better so I did them all

Side note----I was supposed to do that Salvation Army thing on April 1. OOOPPS OH well, I still going to do it next week anyway lol

 

[Mom2Evie]

You're quite welcome. Whatever you gals decide to do suits me fine. I'm perfectly content to see you guys at the resort and just coordinate a few ADRs with you. Remember, I'll likely have a just turned 7 year old with me so that might limit my partying a bit. I'm sure like last time, she'll enjoy swimming (well past her bedtime) while I chat with friends by the pool in the evenings. I'd love to be in the 60's again, near the Hippy Dippy Pool. I walked past that blow up monkey each time I headed in or out.

 

[Nienor]

I should have entered that moms club thing. I was sure I wasn't going to win, but I didn't know there were going to be nice loser prizes.


I'm in favor of the party all the time thing. I'm not sure how I can fit another "event" in my week.

[Poohbear67]

Good Morning Gals,

Where is everyone?????

 

[Mom2Evie]

Mom2Evie, reporting for duty. It's going to be a great day here. Tomorrow is my last day at my current employer. My friends here (and some from my last job) are taking me to lunch today as a goodbye. Tomorrow will just be icing on the cake.

Good for you !!! Have a great lunch!

I too put my 2 week notice in yesterday, can't stand a company (even though its Mike's family's business) that would bring back a person who has stolen thousands of dollars from the because that can't get their money any other way from the stealing b**T**d I guess when I get back from Disney I will be either looking for a new job or they will have put him out to pasture!

 

[Mom2Evie]

Wow, I can almost hear the crickets in here, it got so quiet! Linda & Timmy, where are you guys, I haven't seen you guys post in a few days. If you're both down in WDW right now, I'm just going to throw myself onto the floor & kick!!

I made another payment on my September trip yesterday. I only owe another $180 plus plane tickets. So, this shouldnt' be too difficult. I'm still paying in advance for our mid-July trip to Florida as well. We'll be staying Gulf side, doing the beach thing. Things will be tight through the end of July but then I can start paying for our APril 2009 trip.

Ill just had a huge earthquake last night and thats where S/G live and neinor and a couple other gals I am a bit worried.

Timmy is working double shifts if I am not mistaken so she can have off next week for our trip together to Disney. I leave Sunday.

 

[crzykid]

The whole earthquake thing is wierd. I live about 270 miles north of where it hit. My dog woke me up barking like a mad woman this morning but I did not feel a thing. They were saying that people as far as Milwaukee felt it. I hope S/G is OK.


Hope everyone has a great weekend. I have a busy weekend planned DH's niece is in a play High School Musical and then they are celebrating her bday. Sunday I want to go and see my niece but with gas being $3.65 here I am not sure I will. Who am I kidding I will go and love every minute of it.

 

[Nienor]

I hope everyone in Illinois is ok. I hadn't heard about the earthquake til today. How severe was it?

Ill just had a huge earthquake last night and thats where S/G live and neinor and a couple other gals I am a bit worried.

I'm a Jersey girl. I've got the accent to prove it.

Work has been crazy busy for me. I think trucking picks up in the warmer weather. All I have to is listen to my boss go on and on about the price of fuel.

Mom2Evie, how's the last day on the job? Nancy, do you have another job planned or is it one of those cases where you just have to leave for your own sanity?

I was busy last night with a Den meeting for the cub scouts and tonight it's a pack meeting. The good thing is no meetings, no sports and no school for Colin next week. It'll be almost like a vacation.
