OFFICIAL JULY 2009 THREAD!!! The wait is on!!!

Not open for further replies.
We took adv. of the buy 4 get 3, but never expected to actually go. Now I am hurried to make reservations and I am working on a night out without kids... We are THRILLED to be going and I think my husband and I are more excited than the kids. Just found out about the boards and couldn't be more excited. Our kids (5 and 3) are thrilled, since we haven't been down there in 2 years. We are staying at CBR, but have become concerned because of so many negative reviews, but we are sticking it out because everyone has different experiences... Just the nutshell!

Also,

You'll find a list of DISers by resort on page 3 (post 69), an ADR list at the top of page 67, and all of our smiling faces on the top of page 178.

Feel free to fill in the details.
 
I am also shocked by the king of pop's death :(

And also Farrah's of course.

What a sad day.
 
Has anyone ever done online check-in at their resort? How is it done, and how far in advance of our trip should I do it? Or should I just go with the standard check-in? :confused3

I believe it is 10 days.

I've been thinking about this a long time, and I think I've finally come to a decision. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but one that needed to be made.

I've decided that the next 31 days are going to be way too depressing for me here on the "Official July 2009 Thread" watching all of you go on your trips before me. There's no way I can pull up this thread every day and see the Trip Reports and pictures for your trips and know that my trip is still days and days away. :sad2:

Therefore, I will no longer be posting here on this thread and am moving over to the "Official August 2009 Thread" where I'm sure I will be welcomed with open arms. :grouphug:

Thank you all for your understanding. ;)
I REFUSE, mind you, REFUSE to take you off our who going list!!!LOL

Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both have died today.
 
I should post a picture of our den, bathroom, all Hokiefied! We took Sophie to spring game this year, she LOVED it, Anna Kathryn did a cheer camp and got to perform on the field with the cheerleaders. Brad was SOOOOOOOO jealous that she got to come out of the tunnel! We are season ticket holders, and try to hit at least one or two away games, usually Duke since we like that stadium! Let's Go Hokies!


Guess you can use this for our who's going, since I doubt I'll get a picture with me in it in the next few weeks! DH and the kids stand out more than I do, anyway!

Here's a close up of my girls, so you can see they actually smile!


Sorry July friends for adding putting my other obsession in the way. Now, back to the mouse!

Cute pics! Our house is Hokiefied too! When people come over they say they never realized there was so much Hokie stuff. Our neighbors are friends of ours from college so their house is all Hokie too. Around here it's Mountaineer country though, even though most everyone on our street moved here from Virginia.

I wish we were closer to Blacksburg to participate in special events like those that you mentioned.

I never could find the nifty July 09 DISers nametags that you created, and I really want some...where can I find them, or how can I get some for my crew?

Thanks!

We went last year, but at the end of the trip I ended up losing one of kidneys. So I decided to bring my family back this year. Hope it goes better this year. We going for 18 nights this year.
 
I was just in the bedroom showing my DH the new swim suits I bought and the Explorer sandals I bought at LLBean for our trip. Then suddenly, my DD6's BROKEN Its A Small World music box started playing all by itself!! No lie. She had shown me the music box about 2 weeks ago, and we tried to get it to work, but all it would do was spin the gears. We tried everything to get it to work, but we figured it was broken. It was just sitting on a step stool on the floor. Its a sign! :love: Who do you think was making it work? :confused3

Ooh, that's a little spooky!
 
Hmmm.....2 weeks and 4 days or 18 days till our WDW trip! I am thinking that 2 weeks/4days sounds much better than 18 days! ;)

I can't imagine living in Mountaineer country. Those people are SCARY!

I got my Visa rewards gift card too!! That's going STRAIGHT to tickets when we get there. We've got 7 people to buy tickets for! $$$:scared1:

Was this the gift card for getting a new rewards card? I haven't gotten mine yet, thought I would have....

I am so sorry you had to lose one of your kidneys. My dad is going through this right now, he already lost one kidney 40 years ago, and now has cancer in the other and will have it removed. I hope your trip this year is WONDERFUL, and MAGICAL!:wizard:

Pixie dust, of course!:wizard:


YAY!! I just did my first multi quote!!

2 weeks from today, I will be keeping the kids up until midnight so we can hit the road and they will sleep! So, if we leave at midnight, does that count as 2 weeks from today??
 
Good Morning!

I have a question. I just did online check in and it said that I was on package type Pirate - Water View. We are staying at Pop and only asked for 70's lakeside. Does this mean we got that?

Did you ever find out if you got upgraded ??

BTW, I've been adding Disfriends on Facebook this am! Same pic as one I posted earlier of my girls....

Am I the only one that gets up early just to DIS? I am tooo addicted!

This is the gift card you get when redeeming your Disney Reward Points from your Disney Rewards Visa. You earn points with your spending (easy), then when you're ready to go to Disney with your points. You call them up, and they mail you a Rewards gift card with your points dollars loaded on it. You can keep using and reloading the card until it expires. This is my 2nd Rewards card. My original one expired, but that's ok. I'd drained the reward dollars from it. If you don't use up all the reward dollars on a card by the time it expires, the reward dollars will expire with the card!! Now... how in the world would that happen to us?? :laughing: My first card was VERY rewarding because I put most of my DVC membership ON IT!!:love: I got SOOO many reward dollars. Unfortunately, the credit limit wasn't high enough at the time to charge the entire DVC membership... so I put the rest of it on my LLBean Rewards Visa and bought lots of new clothes for my trip!! :rotfl: Right now, they're offering triple reward dollars for spending on restaurant, gas and travel on balances over $1,000!! EASY!!! :dance3:

We shall see if the Small World music box plays on its own AGAIN today! :wizard:

Congrats! On your first multi-quote. :thumbsup2
