Happy Birthday, Girl! Hope your day is wonderful!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sandy!!! Is it your birthday today? I hope you have a great day. Are you doing anything special?

I just realized my birthday is tomorrow. The days just go by, and I lost track of the date.


Sarah

Thanks guys. It is today...I'm 36. We aren't doing anything special because on Wednesdays DH teaches all day from 8:00 am until 10:30 pm. But DH did get up early and cooked my breakfast...AWWWW!:lovestruc

Happy Early birthday Sarah!
 
There is also a Disney Visa code out that starts tomorrow for Free Dining. I just read about it on the resort codes thread.

I read that too. I actually got a pin for free dining but of course the first week in November was blocked out.

Happy Birthday, Girl! Hope your day is wonderful!!!!!



Just an FYI- to see if someone might be able to use it-
I just changed my ressie from POFQ to CBR and used the code QXG. I saved a ton. It's on the disney website--http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/special/offerDetail?id=FY09FallOfferPage

Hope it helps someone-
Jo

CONGRATULATIONS! I just did the same thing today :cool1: and was able to apply the code to my trip (11/19-11/28) at POFQ :cheer2:
I was afraid that I was going to have to split my reservation (on the website the code is only good through 11/25) and I was worried about things getting messed up and having to deal with two ressies, but when I called Disney she was able to apply the code and I saved about 25% :yay:
9 nights at POFQ, 10 Day PH plus basic dining here we come! :woohoo:

Jo - did you have to change resorts, or did you choose to?

:banana: :banana: Only 63 days to go!! :banana: :banana:

ooohhhhh- good job snagging POFQ!!!! :cheer2: That is a very hard resort to use a code at. I had to change from POFQ to CBR b/c there were no available "code" rooms left. Sniff, sniff. We love POFQ. It's our fave.

Buuuutttttttt---
I am looking forward to going to CBR- just to try it out, see how it is. Who knows, I *may* end up loving it. :cloud9: All together, I saved over $1300 off of rack rate, so I just couldn't bring myself to pass up the savings- just b/c I love POFQ.:laughing:

52 Days


52 days can be converted to one of these units:
4,492,800 seconds
74,880 minutes
1248 hours
7 weeks (rounded down)
 
Scant opportunities to drop in these days.... the Lyme nonsense really put me behind right out of the starting gate.... but the one day I do log on it's Bama's birthday. Happy Birthday!

Busy with the semester, of course. I teach 3 classes in a row, so I'm talking for 4 1/2 hours straight (and then I have 90 minutes of office hours). My larynx is struggling to adjust!

It's 70 days until we leave. 10 weeks. I'm not good at math, so I'll refrain from the hours and minutes :goodvibes . But I can say this.... I have 20 days of lectures between now and then. Of course there's also prep time and marking papers and all, but I prefer the one low number. And besides, apart from throat difficulties, I do enjoy my job a great deal (most days!).

I go through periods of great excitement and other times when I don't really think about it much at all. But I must say that the former are becoming more frequent as well as more intense.....:goodvibes

Oh, and I was so frightened by the dis-news a few days back when I saw a headline announcing the closure of Stormalong Bay for refurbishment. I held my breath and.... thankfully.... January through April. Whew! That would have seriously sucked (I feel bad for those going during those months).....

By the way, everyone going during the first week of November should remember to secure their absentee ballots fairly soon. Unless you're voting for the wrong ticket..... but come on, who's going to do that? ;)

Thanks!
And its funny you mentioned the absentee ballots, I was just looking online at the info on this just a little while ago. I need to print the application for me and DH.
 
OMG!!! :eek: I just looked at my ticker this week (with all the house stuff going on i haven't been a very good DISer:sad2: ) and I have 1 month and 2 weeks with is only 45 more days!!!! :woohoo:

Fingers crossed will still might be able to close tomorrow but we won't know until later today. This whole buying a house thing is really messing with my life can i just tell you!:rotfl: But once we are in there its going to be awesome and time is just going to fly by!

Hey Jo any tips/advice on moving to another state or just moving in general??
 
Good Morning everyone!

Thought I would add myself to this thread. I am travelling with my Mum... we arrive on November 15th and depart on November 23rd. We're staying at the AKL in a standard room. This is the first time I have been to Disney where the holiday is just PURE Disney. We are from England so most of our trips have been 2-3 weeks long but we have included lots of other non-Disney activities (Universal, Sea World etc...).

Mum and I are returning just the two of us after a slightly disasterous trip in July this year (with my Dad and my hubby). We had booked 10-nights in a villa and 4-nights at the AKL (Savannah Rooms). Sadly, Mum got badly sun-burned and because of a HUGE blister on her foot, spent the last week of our holiday in a wheelchair. She was in a lot of pain (even in the wheelchair) and going out in the Florida heat made it worse (even through her bandages!). So she didn't get to do hardly any of the Disney things we had planned... we hardly rode any rides, saw any shows and the worst of all, we barely did ANY shopping! (Mum and I ADORE shopping!!!)

I came back having not fulfilled my Disney 'fix' and felt desperate to go again. We joked around a bit about going back in January 2009, but then came another surprise... after miscarrying in June (just before our trip) I was very pleased to find out I am pregnant again! I am 9 weeks tomorrow (Friday) and so would have been far too pregnant to fly in January 2009. I was telling Mum about the (hopefully!) low crowds in November and she was converted. So after a lot of faffing around, we finally booked!!! I will be 17 weeks pregnant at this time and hopefully sporting a bump of some kind (prob. just a mini extension to my already chubby tummy!)

We arrive quite late on 15 November so just going to relax, unpack and grab dinner at the Mara.
16 Nov - we're going to DTD in the morning and then have booked tickets to MVMCP later that day.
17 Nov - Magic Kingdom!
18 Nov - rest day, prob. MORE shopping at DTD and then we have an early ADR at Ohana's
19 Nov - DHS and hopefully Fantasmic (if we can stay awake, we love early nights!)
20 Nov - Epcot and more of WS, we rarely spend anytime in WS so it'll be fun to do for a change!
21 Nov - another rest day, we might try and get a taxi to Mall at Milennia or Sea World (we missed Sea World in July due to Mum's injury!)
22 Nov - Animal Kingdom and dinner at Yak and Yeti.
23 Nov - departure day! we will leave at around 1pm so will pack that morning and rest at the hotel.

I'm trying hard to get an ADR for CRT but, no surprise, not having much luck!

That's all I can think to tell you right now!!!

Katie, I hope everything goes as planned on the house and you do get to close tomorrow. I know it will be a huge relief.
 
DisneyJoo2008, Welcome to the thread. I actually started reading your trip report the other day. Your furbabies are gorgeous!

Good Morning everyone!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!

Bama- nice avatar--- I like it!

Welcome to DisneyJoo!

Katie- awww, hon, I hope everything goes great tomorrow.
As far as moving, my #1 tip is to always pack a box that you can get your hands on immediately- as soon as you get to the new place- inside you'll want to put one set of sheets, towels for both of you- toilet paper-Paper towels, hand soap, and anything else that you think you will need as soon as you arrive. There is nothing more miserable than standing among a trillion boxes, exhausted, wondering where your sheets are at midnight or looking for a towel to dry off with after a full day of lugging boxes.
~ Always unpack the kitchen boxes first- once the Kitchen is done, everything else seems to fall into place
~ Make sure the boxes are labeled with each room and then on it put a slight run down of what's in the box- so it will be like this :
Kitchen-
black platter, coffee pot, silverware

~And finally-Don't be afraid to say "I'll get to those boxes later". Don't be upset if everything isn't unpacked out of all the boxes- for the first year, LOL.
After that, we'll talk.;)

Good Luck with your move!:woohoo:

Jo
 
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BAMA!! Hope you had a great one!


Question, this new free dining thing is during my stay (I arrive the 7th and it starts the 9th of November). I booked my trip through AAA. Is there any way I can still benefit from the code? Or is it only for people who book through Disney?
 
Morning Jo! We were posting at the same time. Huh, a year you say for unpacking boxes?? It's been THREE since we've moved and we still have some boxes in the basement. :scared: :rotfl:
 
P.S. Bama, I remember you talking about the 50 day mark way back at the beginning of this thread. TODAY is our 50 day mark!!! :dance3:


50 DAYS!!!
