Northeast weather, WDW Jukebox and Disboards

[heathers4um]

SO, here I am....sitting in my Boston office, staring out at the sleet and freezing rain and dreaming of OKW: the sun on my face and shoulders, the breeze through the palm trees as I sip my drink of the day from Gurgling Suitcase, and watching the kids play in the pool, the ferrys coming and going on the water and the surry bikes go over the bridge. If I close my eyes, I can smell the Florida air and the sunscreen.

Then I open them and I am here.

I just called my DBF and told him that although we just got back in November to celebrate my 40th, the 7 huge snowstorms we have had since Christmas alone - (yes, 7!) - have put me into an awful Disney fix mode.

I love OKW. Our 1st time there was this last trip as we bought into it with a small contract of 100 pts. He completely surprised me with saying to go for it - check dates, etc...but he wants to stay at AKV.

Ummmm.....OK! If we must!!

Not too long ago there was a specail offer to add on AKV points, 100 point minimum. I just emailed my DVC guy - who, BTW is the BEST out there. He said technically it ended on Saturday buuuuut....

Oh dear God - I may go home with not only chosen dates but more points to use said chosen dates for. Now the only thing is - when and who do we take. If I go again without my 18 yr old, he will KILL me.

His birthday is in April...I may smell another birthday trip coming on!!

I should be committed. And whe DBF finds out what I am looking into, he will commit me. Anyone out there have any words of comfort for the weak?

I am staying at OKW for the first time Feb 12-14 and I have been checking the weather and it says it's going to be

& 72°

I won't tell you what the temp is right now in South Fl

anyways

If I may give an idea for taking your 18 yr old..

How about ESPN The Weekend March 3-6 2011

I say go for it. I may need to be committed with you these days. This New England weather is awful. We just came back from AKV on 1/22/11 and it was great! Don't look back, book it and escape from this crazy New England Weather.......

omg!!! I'M SO SICK OF THIS SNOW TOO!!

I was going to go to work just to get out of the house, it feels like a prison!!! But my work was closed today!! The kids have had 6 snow days already!!!

The only thing that gets me through any winter, and especially this one is to know I'm hopping on a plane in 2 weeks from today heading to FLORIDA!!!

Considering what we have to endure year in and year out!! GO FOR IT!!!

The ground hog said it will be an early spring!! So why not make it earlier and head to Florida!!

 

[heathers4um]

That would be a great time to go, but I was more thinking of going for the entire Apr vacation, if I could get the room that is. He will be 18 just a couple of days before then.

Have fun and ENJOY!! I hope you love it as much as I do!

I am this close to sending in the info for the add on deal because my guy said he COULD DO IT FOR ME!!!! *jumps up and down and all around*

Now to justify it to the DBF!! I think its worth it of course, but it is a chunk of change down and a larger monthly payment BUT we get 2010 points as well as 2011 points, and our UY would be the same, which I hear is very important for convenience sake.

The only thing is, going down in April is going to be expensive for flights, but we have our AP's and the TIW card we just got when we went in Nov. *thumbs up*

what to do, what to do...?

OMG 2 weeks??? WOHOOO! How exciting for you! I hope we dont have any more storms in the meantime for you to have to deal with. I cant WAIT to put my new ticker up if I just throw caution to the wind and add on these points and book it!!

Have a wonderful time!

SO, here I am....sitting in my Boston office, staring out at the sleet and freezing rain and dreaming of OKW:.....

Well.... you better get back to work so you can pay for this new addiction you have. JK LOL! I know i've been there! Congratulations! And that guy sounds like a keeper.

I usually don't mind snow days, but my poor little one has been sick almost every snow day we have had this winter. poor kid. hmm....come to think of it she may benefit from a week in sunny Fla! Nope, not in the plans, since we too were just there in NOv.

Enjoy your dvc points & upcoming trip.

heathers4um I hope you have an awesome time at AKV in April !!!

Boy do I get it. We were down last Thursday to Sunday, and I found myself taking photos of pansies and geraniums! It's just so hard with the record breaking snow, and bigger than life snowbanks.

Our next trip is May -- after classes at the University end, I can do this, I can do this, I can do this....

 

[Candy Orlando]

I was at OKW for a week in Dec. and a week in Jan. I'll be back for a week in May. I love the palm trees and tropical theme so much I have to keep looking at the videos I took. The last two trips definitely help me cope with all the snow but I really want to go back sooner than May.

These snowstorms here in the Northeast are so exhausting. We are headed to OKW next week, first time staying at this resort, usually stay at BW. If I had the chance I think I would do an add-on and just stay at WDW and not go home till all the snow is gone, do you think the snow will be gone by May?
If you go in April, hope you all have a great time
