Congrats!!! My wife is also retiring from teaching in 17 more days. Finally will get to go in months other then summer.

I am also a retired teacher so I totally understand your elation! I remember that my happiest retirement planning involved my first trip to WDW in early December. Hope you are as happy in retirement as I am!
P.S. If you miss the kids, subbing is just great, and doesn't interfere with WDW vacations. I never thought I would like subbing but I thoroughly enjoy it.

Congrats! Two more long long years for me.

Did you retire because you wanted to or because the state is forcing you to? Here in Wisconsin many tears have been shed as long time teachers are being forced into retirement by our Tea Party Governor.

Luckily, I am retiring by choice. I had actually planned to work three more years, but this year was so bad that I decided to go on and retire. I am so excited!

I remember when you retired a couple of years back! I know I will miss some of it, and I know I may get a bit bored, but there are worse things than being bored. LOL!

If you get bored you can always sub and have Disney spending money.

And how is he forcing teachers into retirement, exactly?

Exactly what I was wondering...

Just had to share! I am retiring from teaching after 30 years. No more having to visit WDW on school breaks! I have been a member of DVC since 1994, and it will be great to use it any time I want.

Congrats on your retirement! I aspire to get there!

Enjoy your DVC any time of the year

You can finally go to Food and Wine Festival in the Fall! Try the lamb sliders from New Zealand, you won't be disappointed. Congrats to Candace!

I retired 5 years ago from education. It's so much better than I anticipated. My DW is still working but now we have the flexibility to take long weekends to WDW, the F&W Festival, MNSSHP, Flower & Garden Festival, Star Wars Weekends, Christmas & New Years - - - its so much more relaxing.

I am also a teacher and am so jealous! I have about four years to go and new grandbabies that I am ready to take to Disneyworld! Soon!

I am so jealous. Enjoy your retirement!

After 7 years of retirement, I still totally treasure reading my morning newspapers (old fashioned hard copies) and drinking coffee at a leisurely pace. The simple joys of not being a slave to the clock! Enjoy!

Congratulations!!! I too am retiring after 39years in the classroom. I am looking forward to enjoying Bay Lake Towers with my extended family. People always ask me what I am going to do. My reply... Rest and enjoy Disney World!!! Its nice to know others will be doing the same.
