Oh the Pressure to do a PTR -- We're Home & Surprise Video up on Facebook

[Cafeen]

Yay for 2 trips! And yay for me sitting through and reading all 15 pages at once! Good thing no one from work is on here . And YAY for Markie! And YAY for...well, everything really.

I'll write more eventually, but it's lunch time!

Ok, back from lunch and editing rather than posting again...

Day 1 sounds great. I so wish I could have the discipline to save up to rent points somewhere. Unfortunately, this is impossible for me to do , so Mods are pretty much my future WDW trips (villas are WAY too pricey via cash).

Let's see what other plans you have, maybe we'll bump into each other again . Erm, assuming I'm not changing mine...

Edit: Ok, that assumption... yeah, you may have seen on my PTR, but I did end up changing my dates . At least I DID get FQ though, which was my first choice of resorts! And I get to hang out on Epcot's 30th birthday, and I get to experience F&W drunkenness (not by me, but others)

Just poppin' in to say Hi!!!

 

[aprilisis]

You must be so proud of Mark. That's such an awesome thing he's doing for Alex!
How awesome that you are doing a surprise anniversary trip in December!!! Now I have 2 TRs to look forward to!

waited less than five minutes and it was 10 minute exactly to the MK. As with any resort, you can have a bad day, but CSR gets consistently good marks for their bus service.

This September? When in September are you going?

Thanks for The CSR bus scoop! I was worried with a big resort there might be issues.

We are hoping for this September - probably the 7th through the 11th - to surprise Jordan for her 9th birthday. However, DH started his own business almost a year ago and things have been a little rocky so it will all come down to finances.

Question for you all????

Do I do one PTR with both trips or two seperate PTR's?

Two! Your PTR is busy enough without having two trips to keep track of!

And the winner is.......................................................

Yep, we're going to hear the words "Welcome Home." I really fell in love with OKW when we went in September and again in January when I went with Mary, Avery and Cayley.

For those who guessed AKL, that is going to be our place for May 2013 for our 30th wedding anniversary. We hope to get a one-bedroom as we are hoping Mark and Alisha will be able to join us for a few days.

Back to work, and I'll try to update later with first day plans.

Woo-hoo for OKW! Your first day plans sound perfect! We tried EOS for the first time last month and loved it. AKL will be great for your 30th.

That is great that Mark is up to so much money so far! You know I think what he is doing is great! I can't wait to hear the final total!

OKW is beautiful. That was Mary's dessert on our January trip. She got it at Ghiradelli's at DTD

Thank you; that son of my continues to amaze me with his generosity. I told him yesterday how proud I was of him. He said, "someone raised me right." I jokingly said back, "you mean Dad?" His response: "Yes, Dad was a part of it, but you (meaning me) and Putz (my Dad) were the biggest influences on his life." Way to make your mom cry, Markie!

I will definitely have to try and visit Ghiradelli's in September!

Those comments from Mark must have made your heart melt! I don't have kids myself yet, but speaking as a kid We probably don't tell our parents/grandparents how much of an impact they had on us. You should definitely give yourself a pat on the back!

I only have a minute and will try to come back tonight with replies and maybe an update.

But if you could all say a prayer for Mark's mom (my mother-in-law) I would be most grateful. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and it is a very large mass. She's going in on Friday for further testing and to decide how to proceed.

Your arrival day plans look wonderful!!

You should be very proud of your sons. So sad to hear about little ones having illnesses like that. The sayings on the T shirts are great!!

Many prayers being sent your way for the little boy & your MIL. So very sorry to hear that.
