I was wondering if arriving the day before the cruise where are you staying?

Peg and I are at Animal Kingdom Lodge, with a late (9:30) dinner at Victoria and Albert. (Good thing we can sleep in a bit Sat AM.)

I think there are quite a few folks staying at the Hyatt at MCO and another batch at the Raddison at PC. Don't know if anyone is planning a pre-cruise meet at either of those locations.

I just read a great DIS review on V&A, I sure hope this meal doesn't spoil us for the cruise.....maybe we'll have to eat at Palo EVERY night. (Just kidding, I can go from gourmet to chicken fingers at the drop of a fry-basket.)

We are going to arrive the day before I don't know where we are staying my wife’s cousin has an apartment for work in Orlando we might be staying in if not probably the Radisson or some where around there since we will be Driving down. We have a couple stops we want to make on the way down.

 

[faireygod mother]

We are statying at the airport Hyatt. We will be at Magic Kingdom that day as well.

Just back from a "minne" DIS meet with Chichihoney and Hannosmom. What a lovely bruch and I cannot wait to see them again. Yes, Jackie we took some pix. I am gonna try to figure out how to post one here.

 

[Hannosmom]

Dee, it was lovely meeting you and your family and I am really looking forward to next week, as well.

And if any of you have second thoughts about meeting other dissers ("fear of ax murderers" phobia ), let it go. All the dissers I have ever met have been the nicest people ever. Every one of them.

See you next week, Dee, Steve, Kelly. Wish Win could come! That is the cutest red haired grandbaby!

 

[Hannosmom]

Just popping in to say "hi" to everyone
Just over three months and we are THERE!!!

Sue Ellen

Hi Sue Ellen! Nice to see you here!

 

[Vanvmom]

We're at the Residence Inn, and willing to meet for "hi" with anyone who happens to be staying there.

 

[txaggie94gigem]

we will be at the residence inn too!!! thank goodness we made a ressie months ago when the room price was only $99....i think the ressies are now about $130-140 per night!!!

we would love to meet up with you....we may end up going to grills for dinner...we liked it last time......

(see, we are not so scarey!)

The Hannos and the GrayFal bunch are arriving on 11/10 and staying at the Marriott Airport Hotel - as the GrayFal's are not arriving until after 10 pm.

[ibouncetoo]

And this is the week we get to make our resies, right???

Yep Sat night/Sun AM
Maybe we should have our AIM chat opened up to keep each other company while we wait for the 'magical' moment!

Congradulations to Ryan!

Does Grills have something that is not fish? Two of my boys will not eat fish (I know, their weird kids. I think we got the higher price, but we have AAA discount on a suite so I'm okay with the price. We arrive on the 10th at 6am and are going to go to KSC for the day (of course they don't open until 9am, and who knows what we'll do in those early morning hours).

Rocket Ralph - the polling place is at my house, and I am the inspector... so we couldn't leave town until after the elections supplies are picked up. What were they thinking, scheduling a national election that might conflict with my vacation plans?

 

[shelwoj]

We're staying at the Residence also. Our two families decided to share a two room suite so we paid one of the higher prices. I don't think there will be much sleeping because we will be too excited! We'll see ya'll by the pool or at the breakfast buffet.

Good idea...a long as I can silence the 'ding' so DH doesn't wake up...LOL

Yep Fortunately for ME....at midnight here. I'm going to set an alarm anyway, as there is that dangerous 9-10pm hour where I've been known to fall asleep if reading or watching TV. I'll have TiggersPal's puppy dogs here with me, but they are such snuggle-bunnies, they'll be no help in staying awake. Maybe we'll just have to take a nap after taking their 'parents' to the airport that day.


Well, I'm now on 14 week restricted behavior! Food-wise and spending-wise. I want to save my cruise 'pocket' money out of my regular budget. So no more eating out just because I don't feel like cooking....this helps both the budget AND the diet. And I'll do the old 'empty all your change into a jar each day' trick too. It will be interesting to see how much I come up with!

Have a great week Double-dippers....hope to 'see' a bunch of you in chat tomrorrow

 

[faireygod mother]

Congrats Pat, you must be very proud.

Jackie...I am right there with you. I am on a real tight restriction. I get to eat brunch out next with at another mini DIS meet, but that is my two for the month.

I am way excited about this cruise. Even more now that I am gonna meet some of you. It was very neet meeting Hannosmom/dad and Chichihoney. To bad Pat you do not have a time share here. LOL

Hannomom and I discussed that there are at least three sisters groups in our group going. We should get together for a late not hot chocolate on deck 9.

 

[pandamom]

We are flying in day before and staying at Ron John's.


And, Congratulations Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
