The list is updated and I believe current. If I messed anything up please let me know and I will get it corrected. The list can be fount on page 3 post 39 if you ever want to check out who is going with you.

Melody L & Mindy5767 seems like you both had a run for bad luck . Hang in there and I will pray the the money tree in your yards produces some larger fruit this spring . My luck mine has been DEAD for years now. I have to work to pay my way. LOL That being said I need to shower and get to the office. Lois

 

[Born 2B a Princess]

I'm so sorry for your loss, Lois, but grateful that your MIL is now free from pain. I hope the events of this week aren't too draining -- sounds like a lot of driving will be involved. Hugs.

Again Thank you for the prayers. My Mother-in-law passed peacefully this morning. The wake is Thursday and the burial is either Friday or Saturday- 5 hours from where she lived. It is going to be a very long week.

I am very glad that I worked all weekend. So I will not be as far behind when I return. Lois

Hi Lois - saw your news, and just wanted to give you my condolences. I know you have a hard week ahead of you.

I am sorry for your family's loss. They are in my prayers.

I updated your ADRs. Most of them were just a few minutes off. I assumed Chef Mickey's was 9:05 AM but correct me if I'm wrong.

Just wanted to let you all know -- if you're looking for ponchos -- my Target has them in the dollar section right now, so they should be showing up soon in yours if they aren't there already. They aren't the really heavy-duty ones (obviously!) but they worked great for us on our last trip. I bought a bunch of them and just kept some in the bag we carried into the parks and we threw them away when after we used them. We only needed them once (thank goodness). I think our Target also has glow sticks in the dollar section right now, too.

We got our Target dollar section ponchos last weekend.

thank you hun!

Had to make a few changes to my ADRs, as my brother is now joining us on the trip.

Gone:
July 11: 6:35 Sci Fi Dine-In
July 12: 12:00 Rose & Crown
July 16: 8:15am 1900 Park Fare
July 16: 6:00 Marrakesh
July 17: 11:25am 50's Prime Time

New:
July 11: 7:00 Sci-Fi
July 12: 12:15 Rose & Crown
July 16: 8:15am 1900 Park Fare
July 16: 6:00 Marrakesh
July 17: 11:20 50's Prime Time

Obviously, some of the actual times are the same, but now its a party of 5 instead of 4. If any party of 4 wants those ADRs, I literally just canceled them. The CM was very nice about it and assured me that it would not be a problem for one extra person to be accommodated if we couldn't get a new ADR. That was nice to hear, though I've never had problems with it before.

All Star Movies 7/14 - 7/21 for familymoon (read as we are bringing the kid on the honeymoon) we are VERY EXCITED!!!

Welcome to our group! I have added you to the Who's going list that can be located on page 3 post 39. Lois

 

[CosmicGirl]

To Lois: I wish you all the strength in the world to get through this difficult time and I'm for all of you that you got to spend some more time together. Hopefully this will make you and your family cherish your time in WDW all the more, as you never know when you no longer can.

(For lack of a smiley with a drink): A toast to ticking countdown clock and July goers!


On that note: I fear I am getting addicted to booking things... I just added 2 more nights on-site (leading to 10 in total) whereas we only have 8 on-site days planned, but I really wanted to try one or two more resorts...
If I go on like this, we'll never make it to the rest of FL!

Here they are:
7/11 @ AKV Jambo
7/12 @ BWV

These are our first deluxes! The 35% off room-only rates got me to consider them, then I found out that booking AKV via the special link made a value studio with good chances of Savannah or Pool view (44% chance each) cheaper than a standard room with a parking lot view!
Today I added BWV with a view by renting DVC points, another fantastic deal!

 

[DisneyPoohBear]

Hi, we added a day so now we are staying from July 23rd-August 2nd at Pop and we found better airfare than we had so now we have a credit for next time...

 

[flipflopmom]

I changed your 7/18 ADR but for the others, did you mean 7/12??

Good grief! Yes I did! All I have on the brain is check in day on the 11th right now. I hope I told the CM the 12 th???????

Yikes! I hope you did too!! I made the proper changes...let's hope the CM did as well!

Melody.... I thought WE were having a bad week. Paid $250 dedectable to have husband's car fixed (unknown car hit it in parking lot), paid $650ish co-payto Chiropracter for treatment plans for me and DD20. Paid $850+ in co-pays to doctor, lab and hosptial for surgery I had in March. Needed glasses ($200), upstairs vacuum burst into flames while in use... kids ram RC monster truck into downstairs vac, it plunges down the basement stairs and breaks. this weekend, closet organizer plan lead to new flooring in my walk in closet (laminate chosen--$200). The builder had carpeted around the shelving unit we tore out. We had to pay tuition deposit for DD's college. I'm sure that's not all---so I can definately relate. Luckily we're DVC, so this trip will cost us admissions (for 7 adults, 1 child) for 1 week, food and gas for travel. We will have hotel expenses for 1 night travel each way and for side trip to Melborne to take DS17 to visit a college. We're limited our ADR's severely. Most meals will be made in our Villa kitchen and we'll do QS in the parks if we have to. We do have 1 CB (its a tradition), 1 buffet meal, 1 ADR actual adults only, 1 afternoon tea at the Grand (girls only). Too bad my niece turns 10 this week and we'll have to pay the adult price for her. She's WAY too tall to pass for her own age or younger.

DD20 wants me to pay for her wedding (date TBD) at the end of this summer!!

I'm sorry to hear that you are having a bad week as well. My husband also had surgery in March. He broke his ankle skiing - in eleven places! He has been on crutches ever since. He goes back to the doctor in two weeks and we are hoping that he will be walking by July for our trip. His ankle isn't healing as fast as it should, due to a previous injury, and he may have to have another surgery.

The Maytag repairman came today and couldn't fix my brand new washer that I only got one load out of. They come back on Thursday with more parts.

 

[bdink921]

We're going!!! We're stopping in for a quick stay at the Poly from July 22-24 . I am soooo happy DH agreed to head to WDW for a couple of days! We're getting 2 day park hoppers and fitting in as much as we can before heading off to the Radisson in Cape Canaveral and then our cruise 7/25-8/1. I know for sure that we'll be at Epcot for our dinner at Les Chefs de France 7/22. We also have an ADR for Ohana for dinner 7/23. I know we'll be at Epcot the first day and maybe DHS for pm EMH. The next morning we'll be at MK for am EMH and then...not sure yet. At least we'll still have 8 days left to recover .

(For lack of a smiley with a drink): A toast to ticking countdown clock and July goers!

This one's for you!!!
