Hey! Julia here! Welcome to the group!! 7 months is nothing! We booked almost 2 years ago! Like Jill said, we have a VERY active FB group and have lot's of activities planned if you head over there. If you are not a FB person, let me know and I can give you more details. I am in charge of the FE if you are interested in that. We also have a Secret Mickey, Pink Champagne Girls, Brotherhood and a Scavenger Hunt planned. Welcome aboard!

That it is...I think it's because many are on facebook which I'm not. Southwest opened up their dates on the 6th so we're booked. We're flying in the day before, spending the rest of the day at MK and staying at the POR in a deluxe King room. I'm planning on dinner ressies at Boatwright's that evening to celebrate Dan's 49th.

I bought our tickets too. We are flying down on AirTran and flying home on Southwest. The price was good, the times were what I was looking for and they are non-stop flights. We are flying in on Thanksgiving Day but we still haven't decided if we are going to go to WDW or if we are going to go to Legoland on Friday. We'll see...

Sorry Linda, I don't intend to exclude you. Everyone is getting really to know each other on FB. The latest is I am currently working on splitting the FE earlier than we had planned. Hopefully by this weekend. We are up to almost 40 cabins and the consensus is to split. You can do one or all of the groups. Right now it is only two groups, as each group will be 20 cabins. You will get your list via email. Also, I am working on a private tour in St. Maarten with Benard's Tours if you are interested in joining us. www.benardstours.com we are looking at tour #2. Other than that, working hard to get ready and get this sucker paid off! We have not gotten our flights yet. The SW flights were actually higher than the regular carriers for us, so we are waiting a bit. We are almost under 200 days!!!

I haven't booked our flight yet, but we are staying at the POR too. We are hoping to go to T Rex in DTD to meet up with folks for dinner.

Hey Julia, I'm not feeling excluded here. I've been really busy as I posted earlier my mom broke her hip again on March 20th. She really messed it up pretty bad. The good news is she saw her doctor yesterday and she's healing great so now she can bear weight after being flat on her back or sitting in a chair all this time. She walked 45 feet this morning. I'm so proud of her. My dad is ok but he doesn't even know who I am. So sad.

The tour sounds interesting. I'll run it past Dan in the morning. I'm just starting to make my payments but everything looks good so far. I'm a little concerned about our second cruise but we'll see.

I plan on getting on fb soon but I've been out straight doing the nursing home shuffle. I really, really, really need this vacation.

BTW I'm already planning next years trip for our 25th. 3 nts at Aulani and a 7 night cruise of the Hawaiian islands on the NCL Pride of America. So excited and I still get my Disney fix. Love my hubby.

We dined at T-Rex a couple years ago and loved it. Dan's been wanting to eat at Boatwright's since we stayed at POFQ last fall. I plan on surprising him with a special cake for his b-day.
