Is the snow ever going to stop in PA? Our kids are out of school again! I'm glad I booked this trip is August because we have 8 days to make up and they may be in school until July if this weather doesn't get any better!

Here in NY, we managed to miss those first two big storms a couple of weeks ago, but we're making up for it now. It looks like we'll get 2 feet plus out of this storm, and there was already several inches of snow on the ground from the last storm. We haven't had school since Tuesday, which was an early dismissal, and we now owe two days. We'll make them up during our spring break, so I feel sorry for all the folks that planned trips for spring break week.

I haven't heard anything here about make-up days....yet. We had early dismissal yesterday and no school today. Luckily, we're not going away for spring break so it won't affect us anyway.
August seems SO far away right now!

Tell me about it! I can't believe we are missing school again! Right now our schools were supposed to be done on the 4th of June/graduation. Then the first snow pushed us till June 7th, second snow took us till June 11th, now we are at the 12th....I hate the thought of more snow!

We will be in until June 17th if they don't make any up during the spring schedule! I think our district applied for a reprieve from the state for some of the days due to the state of emergency. I work for a local municipality and this is really hurting us!

I think our district applied for a 2 day reprieve, so that would help us a little bit if we get it. Still the June 12th date is using our spring break days as makeups. We went all day yesterday but then no school today, thank goodness its Friday and maybe we can be cleaned up and ready for school by monday...maybe..sigh.

We had a great stay at the Contemporary in December! It was SO convenient and we liked our room, even though we were at the far end of the Garden Wing.

Is anyone looking for someone to share their Illuminations cruise with? We will be there Friday August 6th (me and DH on a date night) and would love to share a cruise with some one.

Is this the right thread for that?

Thanks for compiling the list. I have done these before and know how much work it can be.

We are going for the first time EVER! 8/22 - 8/27 and we are celebrating DD's 8th birthday on the arrival date, DS's birthday is actually 9/9 and our anniversary is actually 9/12. But we are veryyyy excited!

Okay, we just made a change that saved a lot! We had 8 nights at WL with a $750 gift card included. I just made it a 5 night at WL with a transfer to Pop for our last 3 nights. It saves us over $600 and we can use the gift card to pay for the room only balance at Pop...seems to make sense to me! DH is concerned that we won't be as happy downgrading, but we have always stayed at values. Let's hope I am right

 

[beautyqueen]

sounds to me like you made great plans and the switch is going to save you so much $$!
