November 2012 Code Watch!!

[mommyof3princess27]

You're a woman after my own heart! I love the planning almost as much as the vacation itself. My goal is to know as much as I possibly can so that when something important doesn't go as planned I've got a backup! Once I'm at Disney we go as the "wind" takes us but we do it knowing what we are or aren't missing No coming back from Disney and saying"I didn't know" for us!

Plus my DH is always impressed, and brags to his friends, about how much money I saved us by all the research!

Me too! Planning is the only thing right now that I have control over lol

Smileybug-yes I am doing much better thank you

I decided to go for a short(only 2 mile) run/walk today to try to sweat out whatever I have. I think it worked cuz I feel much better! I still managed to lose a pound being sick-not sure how but whos complaining only 2 more pounds til my next mini goal and 7 more pounds til my Disney goal! I have 17lbs til my ULTIMATE goal -next Disney trip

Hi guys!

Hope everyones trip planning is going well. I just noticed how Disney released Room only discounts for AP holders, and etc. Up to 40% off the rooms! It extends until September 2012!! I was like OMG !

Anyone think that we might see a great deal like this for November? A good room discount would be perfect for us.

Happy Thursday night all!! I'm finally home today. I didn't get much school work done, but I did a lot of work on my ADR schedule. I'm still having problems with the DHS lunch. I didn't want to do Sci-fi again b/c I wanted to try other places, so I thought 50's Prime Time b/c it looks like fun. It's just the more that I look at the menu, the more I worry that my DH will find something he likes.

Sometimes you just gotta stay with what you know you will like.

[mommyof3princess27]

That's exactly what we might end up doing. I'm going to leave this one totally up to the DH. None of the menus look so good that I want to jump up and run there to eat. I would love to get a PB&J shake though.

Sept 2012? I thought AP discount went through March 2012. Can anyone confirm?

On a side note, I am sooooo sick! I think I have a very bad head cold or worse the FLU!!! Let me back up a few days to fill you all in on what has been going on........so after we got the truck fixed, and went to Phily, the plan was that early that week, we would have our basement worked on some more. DH and his side job boss are going to be doin the work(he's a contractor) so I waited Mon,Tues and Wed evening for them and they never showed up(too many other jobs thatdidnt get done) so no big deal. Then Thursday night DH tells me he is on his way to Home Depot to get our new basement sliding door(since his boss is helpin, it cut some of the cost out so we could get the door without more OOP costs). They say they are going to install it tonight! SORRY but WTH were they thinking?!?!?!?! So here I am watching them do this. They take the other one out and discover the header above the door is roted out.
and Home Depot is closed. OMG! To make matters worse-his boss was leaving on vacation for 4 days! He wouldnt be back til late Monday night and couldnt get here til Tuesday! So they braced my house up with 4x4s and other wood. Structuraly it was safe but I was worried! So we had to get the other header out and the house was not sealed up so it was so cold in here! I didnt want to turn the heat on cuz it would go right out the door. I managed to make it through the weekend. SUnday morning, our truck had a flat tire I really have had it with all this bad luck lately- let me tell you!!! So yesterday I was so sick but DH and his boss put my new header in, the new door in and they are gonna finish up tonight You dont know how happy I am! If I wasnt sick I'd be Maybe now, I can start getting excited about Disney

Oh, my goodness, what a time you have had! I hope you're feeling much better by now and everything is OK with the house.

@ mommyof3princess27 - That's the party we went to last year. We loved it!! Can't wait to go back next year! Bring us back some pictures! Hope you are feeling better, and hope your door gets finished!!

@ smileybug - I got really excited at first - I though you were talking about a discount for next year!!

Sooo... after much calculating and discussing with my DMIL, we are going to stay at the POLY... IF we get a code!! We really want a 40% off code, but we will take a FD code. Instead of two rooms at the Pop, we will get 1 room at the Poly, and go in together. DH and I will still only pay what we were going to for the POP, and DMIL will pay the difference. If we don't get a code, we may stay at the Beach Club or the Art of Animation (I think that's the name). No matter what happens, I'll be happy because we will be at Disney... and THAT's what it's all about!!

I hope everyone is having a great time planning.

Yep, being at Disney is awesome no matter what, but if you're staying at the Poly (or Beach Club or AoA), YAYYYYYYYY! Would LOVE to do that

Happy Thursday Everyone! I am not on much at night since I have classes and kids and stuff so I will mostly post during the day while I am work. Although I do have to wait for the boss to leave! Lol. I was also married at a young age (18). We waited two years to have kids. We actually went to Disney in Mar 09 to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary when they had the 4/3 deal. We went on our first adult only vacation for our 10th this past spring but DH would not go to Disney with out the kids so we did everything but Disney in Orlando.

He rolls his eyes at the time I spend planning vacations but he always makes the time for he and the kids to thank me for another great vacation! I plan every detail but once on vacation I am not a crazy tour guide. I know everything doesn't go as planned and tell myself often so I can enjoy instead of getting upset that something is not going as planned. I love the time I put into planning as much as the vacation.

Ha ha! My DH and DS20 like to make fun of me a lot for planning so much and "being obsessed", but the whole family is always so grateful for such a fun vacation and they know it's because of the planning. DD is about as obsessed as I am!

Plus my DH is always impressed, and brags to his friends, about how much money I saved us by all the research!

Nothing like a well-planned Disney trip, but we like to wing it some along the way. DS20 says we're commando, but he just doesn't like me waking them up early. That's the only time I'm commando, and trust me, there are PLENTY of people up and at 'em much earlier than my family.

That would be awesome! Though I don't hold out a lot of hope for us since we're going Thanksgiving week again.

We're going to do QS for our lunches at DHS. One day at Pizza Planet and one at Starring Rolls. Dinners those evenings at Captain's Grill and Cape May. YUMMMMMM!

Off for a day of shopping with DD today. Tomorrow is her 12th birthday (I don't see HOW my baby can be 12 already....) and the kids are off of school for fall break yesterday, today and Monday. So, gotta go pick up my paycheck and then go spend some money on her! Hope you all have a great day!

Hi everyone
We just got back from WDW last week and I"m already hoping DH will tell me to go ahead and book for next year I really enjoyed the halloween decorations, but am really hoping to see WDW at christmas time. So for now I'll lurk on here, but not sure if we'll be making the trip back so soon...but I'm hoping!

We may end up doing Pizza Planet if the DH doesn't like any of the TS menus.
Another option, which I'm starting to lean toward, is to change our DHS day to the day we arrive. I plan on checking in at FWC at about 10 AM. Then we could eat a lunch before we arrive at DHS and then eat dinner some where else. DHS is a half day park for us, at most.

I'm glad you had a fun trip. The Christmas decorations at Disney are a-maaaaaaazing! I hope you get to go again next year.

My DD will be 12 next month where did the time go

It's crazy, isn't it? And she's my baby, so it hurts even more. We're going for Japanese Hibachi tonight, since that's what she picked. Yummy, I can't wait!

That sounds like a good idea for you. We skipped Animal Kingdom last year and did 2 days at DHS. We really enjoyed it. Unless we change our minds, we're going to do the same thing again this year.

Oct 28th-nov 2 ") can't wait!

Welcome! What a fun time to go.

Hope you all have a great Saturday!

I talked about the ADR plan with the DH. What we finally decided to do was move the DHS day to our arrival day. As soon as we check in, we're heading to WL to eat lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe, so I can get my WL fix in. Then we will head to DHS. I read all the TS menus to my DH. He didn't want to do Sci-Fi again, and he refuses 50's Prime Time. The only menu that sounded good to him was Mama Melrose, so that's where we will eat dinner. I thought about leaving to eat dinner somewhere else, but I want to get to bed early that night. The next day is Joey's bday and I want to do a 8:00 AM breakfast at CRT before heading off to Epcot. Then we'll be up late that night b/c of MVMCP. We might take a nap after lunch. I just hate loosing park time for a nap since it's been so long since we have been to WDW.

Hope everyone is haveing a good day! I was at the grocery store today and I was putting things in the back(its a suburban) and I looked down to a very big dent, scratch and chips! I thought someone hit my truck!!!! OMG! I call DH and he said dont worry it happened at work the other day and I forgot to tell you(he drives it since I do daycare at home) WHAT????!!!!?!?!?! You knew about this and YOU DIDNT TELL ME!!!???? He said well the boy is gonna pay for it since he doesnt have insurance R U serious right now??? OMG!
