Now Approaching... Sleepingbooty's Sept. PTR (We're BAAACK! 9/26)

[kcandbella]

Hey! I just noticed on another PTR that you live in St. Charles. I live on the IL side of St. Louis!!! Just thought I would pop in and say hello! Now I am off to catch up on your plans!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Rebecca, it sounds like JenBear needs an intervention!!

Don't let him kill a love or passion of yours for anything! If you enjoy something now, it's not like it's just going to go away because you love him too. See what I mean?? You might avoid something for a while, but eventually you will want that thing again, and if he thinks you've given it up, it will cause problems in the end. I'm not talking about unhealthy things like smoking or overeating or drinking too much, but hobbies or stuff like that- don't give in!!

I could not agree more! Jen, he needs to love you for who you are - warts and all... I mean, Dis-obsession and all!

Hi! and neighbor! Thanks for joining in the fun! Are you enjoying the snow days?

 

[kcandbella]

We were only off today, not yesterday, but I am very much enjoying it!! I had to go pick up my nephews and the roads are just fine. There is supposed to be more tonight though!

I just got all caught up and was very glad to read how much you loved POR! That is where we are staying. We have 5 adults and 3 kids and wanted the extra space of a mod over value plus the trundle bed. We had also looked at CBR and it looks really nice!

That was an adorable ode to your husband <3 Sounds like a great guy!!

Oh, well it sound like YOUR school district has some brains - there was definitely no need to call school yesterday. So we are supposed to get more snow tonight, huh?

You will love POR - It's just beautiful. The boat ride to DTD is especially nice in the evenings.

Thanks! Yeah, putting it all down on paper like that made me realize it all over again.

Oh no, you must not let boyfriend try to rid you of your love for ANYTHING (especially Disney ) that is important to you - that's who you are!

Thanks guys Really, it's not terrible. He's accepted the fact that it's something I love and that that love will never die. He doesn't like it but he'll put up with it. He loves me for who I am, for sure. Disney is probably the only thing that we disagree on (except minor other things in everyday life) but that's what makes us individuals. He's obsessed with music, my obsession is Disney. I'm never going to give that up because that is what makes me, me. I really appreciate your support guys but no worries over here. DBF and I have our likes and dislikes but that's what makes us individuals

That's good to hear, Jen. I think at first it sounded like it was a major bone of contention between you, so we got all mother hen-ish. Of course, we all have our "issues" in our relationships. My husband certainly doesn't understand why I need to spend all this time on the Dis!

Mother hen-ish! Yup, that's us!

Seriously, you're right, we all have our issues. Mine recently "informed me" that he was now going to be "more authoritative" in my exercising. One of our issues. He's right, I do need to be more active, but the way it came across was a little (Ok, a lot) offensive. And mine must be in cahoots with yours, Rebecca- mine doesn't "get" the DIS thing either. I'm sure if I spent as much time running or exercising it wouldn't be an issue at all.

I need to get on that myself! A friend here in the neighborhood has roped a bunch of us into doing a 'bootcamp' style workout together on Saturday mornings in April. She teaches classes at a local gym and I know she is not going to go easy on us. I've got a month and a half to get in shape for this (yes, I need to get in shape to get in shape- and I can't even do 5 pushups! What have I gotten myself into?

 

[All7OfUs]

I just saw a typo in my post, that said NOT, when it should have been NOW. He is NOW going to be "more authoritative. Just wanted to clear that up so it made sense.

I think you'll like your time exercising with the ladies. Well, as much as exercising can be fun. Seriously, it's no fun over here with just little ole me, and some buffed out super model on a video who has obviously had a few tucks and sucks here and there. I can't wait to get back and get to a 'class' with others to suffer with me.

And you're wayyyy ahead of me. I can do exactly 1/2 a pushup!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

That makes a lot more sense now, I didn't really get it before.

Oh, maybe I made myself look too good when I said I can't do 5 pushups. I also can't do 2 pushups!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Okay, what's the dealio? I was just on the WDW website messing around with different resorts and ticket options, just to see if perchance a 2 bedroom suite at a deluxe might pop up for $300 a night. Didn't happen. So dropping that idea, I removed the number 4 from the 'how many adults' box and changed it back to 2 adults, 2 kids. I mean, I don't really want to share a room with my folks anyway. Not unless we got a stellar deal on a suite.

Now, I know I said we'd decided on CBR. But as we have not yet booked - a girl can still play around right? CBR and I are just dating right now - no commitments yet. So, I plugged in our dates for Wilderness Lodge and.... NO ROOMS! How can that be? None? That makes no sense to me whatsoever! They were willing to sell me a Deluxe Concierge room for 4 adults and 2 kids, so why couldn't I stay there with just the four of us? Not that I would, but I want to see all my options.

Is it me, or does anyone else find the Disney reservations site a bit vexing?

Now, don't lead CBR on!

That doesn't seem right that Wilderness Lodge would be out of rooms this far in advance. I don't like the reservation site either. For the non-DVC portion of our trip last year I just called the reservation phone number.

I hate to break it to you but that room class very well could be sold out.

When I booked the YC back in Sept, for an August trip, the rooms were going like hotcakes starting on the 15th in anticipation of FD. If I try online I can get one at full price but with the PIN they are gone for the standard rooms. They've been sending out that PIN quite a lot and people may have snapped up the standard rooms between the PIN that's out and the FD bounceback.

I can't believe the deluxe was available though, there aren't very many of those rooms!. I would call them. You might want to book just to hold it since you can always change to the other hotel

 

[jenbear123]

Maybe you should try and call them? The site might just be buggy. I would be devastated if one of my options was gone!

 

[ladybugmom]

Really?! That's crazy!! It makes me nervous since we'll be booking WL for our Nov/Dec trip. Let me know what you find out!!

 

[klacey1]

I would call-- I feel like you're not going at a very busy time and really there SHOULD be standard rooms left. We waited kind of a long time to book POR last year and still had the option of many types of rooms/views-- about a month after they publically announced Free Dining!

 

[All7OfUs]

K, officially freaking out!! Sounds like we needed to make ressies for our alternate dates like yesterday!!! Calling maroo now!!!
