Our little thread of BIG changes, the neverending saga of the Resort Changers

[Grumpy Grandma]

Well I have named myself Queen of the Split Stay and Queen of Adding on Days but I may also have another title .... one that isn't nearly as much fun ... Queen of Canceling Trips. As many of you know because of my back injury I had to cancel my Dec trip with the Grannies and Wannabes .... well now it looks like I probably will be canceling my DL Diva trip at the end of Feb. I'm just not able to be up for hours on end and those Divas do keep long hours!

To look on the bright side ... just think of all the money I'm saving .....

BOOOOOO Progress Mama...you will get your stamina back. You've been through so much, and you are getting better. It is a good idea not to overdo it. But I know it just stinks, and I am sorry! Maybe a good goal would be WDW in late August...it's hot but lots of us will be there to help you

All ADRs made for July!!

DH and I have about $750 in SW credits that must be used by June 15th so ..... I booked a stay in May for Universal and then a timeshare week at the beach. Looking forward to a relaxing time .... theme parks in the morning and then pool time for the afternoon.

Aug is an idea .... but I might never get out of the pool! Still thinking of the 2nd week in Dec but nothing planned yet. I'm sitting here with an unactivated ap .... my ideal plan would be Dec 2014, May 2015 and then Oct/Nov 2015 but as of now it's just a dream.

I guess I am your princess of split stays. We did one night Gf in SL the 3 night at VGF then transferred to CR in Atrium Club but had to move after one night when dh and ds flight home was canceled. I literally begged the concierge to find me more space

The Hospitality suite worked great for us. 4 rooms in 7 nights though I do not recommend unless

Yay, started my pre-trip report for February. 27 more days to go!!

Looking at your signature it seems you enjoy Disney in February! I have been there 5 or 6 times in February and have been lucky with weather and flights.

So, are you packed yet?

Not yet, but we're getting together everything we need and doing some last minute shopping for things like sunscreen and various other bits like hand soap for the room, as bar soap grosses me out and dries my skin out.

Please no flames ladies....even though I am sure some of you think we are crazy LOL! DH and I just make a dangerous combo sometimes!
Janet can you adjust my dates?

POR March 4-6
Dream March 6-9

Dmndgal: Hope you are doing ok...

Sheila: Where are you these days? Everything ok?

Good Morning, RCers!
Surgery went well; sore as all get out but hoping it gets better each day.My main surgeon thinks it's funny I always go to Disney after hip surgery (last time was 8 weeks post). Before surgery he asks what my short term goals are and Disney is always on the list. I have tried to explain the therapeutic value of Disney but no prescription for magic thus far. .

I'm loving some of the ideas and changes you all are doing! I'm hoping we are stationed in FL next so we can try the land/sea option some of you RCers have me salivating over. . Until then, I plan to live vicariously so post it up, ladies!!!
Take care and Happy Thursday!!!

Disney is always a goal for me as well. I never posted that my MRI was good, no ankle surgery But, I need to rest it more, and use my brace...where is that darn brace. Hang in there! Nice to see you and here's some get well

Hi RC friends,

Dimndgal-Glad your surgery went well. Thinking of you.


Pas- The great thing is, there‘s always something to change!

Koh-Wonderful! Let the GF planning begin.

MM-GF seems to be sticking. It does sound like it’s time to plan some yummy adrs.

Trish- We figure as long as we’re having fun, it just doesn’t matter that some family and friends don’t get it. (And we’ve gotten to the point where we sometimes don’t mention our pending trips…)

Jen-March sounds like it will be loads of fun!!

Sparkly-Your trip will be here soon. Yay!

GG-The May trip sounds so relaxing. Great idea, and those SW credits are wonderful.

Miss- That was too funny about the birthday restaurant ponderings. Any other reservations you’re looking forward to on the trip? You guys are going to have such fun!

Waving hi to Janet, Shiela, Kook, Marie, Lacey, Minnie, Magic and Sue. and the RC friends I missed.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

We opted for Akershus instead of CRT this time. Trying very hard to keep it budgeted so I can show DH that yes, I can control myself. ;-) what tier is Fantasmic in for the magic bands? Not sure if we'll stay for it this year or not. We went 2 years ago, but it was such a long wait for the kids without the Fantasmic dining...we'll see...

DH is convinced I have not allotted enough money to food since no dining plan with the GF deal...trying not to do as many TS as we normally do...
