Oooh perhaps I should arrange a surprise!
Sheila: Thanks, that all makes sense. I am hoping the whole pool situation is not too crazy for us. All our girls can swim but will still be a going concern I am sure. Funny, this morning I was looking at a one bedroom OKW villa too! Those look lovely, but the buses sound horrible. And DH would just want to go golfing if we were there!! But so much space for the kiddos would be nice.
I was thinking of sending DH & DS golfing at Oak Trail as it available with our PAPs. If I read things right the clubs are free for my DS so they'd just have to pay DH's clubs and maybe a pull cart. I think they'll enjoy it.DH is golfing at Disney for the first time in April. I got him a tee time at Magnolia. If your DH is a golfer...there are amazing AP discounts. 30% off green fees, free balls, free club rentals...and by staying CL, you can get complimentary cab ride to course!!! We were excited to find this all out....well, he was excited...
The monorail looks easier to use with ECV than bus. Can you "drive" over to TTC on your ECV for direct Epcot monorail? Poly really is beautiful. My last few trips have been to BWI so I do understand that love but the Poly is really special too!
Sounds like you have thought this out! I have been pricing spring break for months and finally gave up. I just couldn't see paying the increased rates to deal with the crowds. I actually could have gotten the spring discount but airfare is over the top ridiculous!WDWKOOK said:Happy Friday and Happy March!
I made the decision yesterday to cancel spring break later today and it's all good (as Jeanette famously proclaims). It wasn't a monetary decision so I don't want anyone to feel sorry for us - that's not my intention. The decision was based primarily on too much stress from sequestration looming. We would have been returning home one day before the furloughing is tentatively due to start. There's no way that wouldn't have been on our minds during vacation. When I told DD and DH at dinner, DH smiled and was actually relieved and happy and DD said, "I'm fine with that, I know we'll be going back." I knew she didn't want to miss 2 days of school so she was relieved, too.
I love a bargain, so I have to admit that the additional overcharge at spring break does bother me. The rooms end up about 40% higher during holidays and that never settles well with me. We also can't stay as long at spring break, so perhaps our annual summer trip will work perfectly and hopefully there will be less uncertainty in the US then - or maybe a lot more!I was excited about the FWC stay and using those APs up to the last possible day, but we did get over 30 days of use out of them and this change of plans may mean that great BLT one bedroom will be available then
trip.
Jenny - I really really want to take the family on a cruise but I want to do the 7 day. The prices are insane. I don't really want to do the three day because like you, when pricing out it seems crazy! Someday.......jennyjinx3 said:KOok: This RCer may be making a cancellation too,the cruise. It just seems like a big chunk of change for only three night. Don't cringe, but after transportation is added, and not even adding in excursions or onboard drinks....it will be around $3100. The financially responsible me says it will be better to save up and possibly do a longer cruise another year to get more value out of it. We will just be unpacking, and then having to pack up.
Don't know.
Ugh...even though we committed to POR / cruise for November, I still feel like this may be the right thing to do. But we will still be at Disney!! I feel like I need to back away from the Dis to sort this all out!!
:
You are going to have a great time with hubby! So glad you decided not to give up your reign! But when you need to step down its perfectly ok as long as you keep visiting. I struggle staying caught up because life gets in the way. I love quiet Sunday mornings for catching up! (Although I really need to go get ready for church lol)pas130 said:Jen, part of my not being able to catch up here is my heart wasn't in it. I want to go to WDW, heck I want to stay at Poly...my wallet says not now...but all in all, trip or no trip, my family and all their love and support is here.....2013 is turning to be a very uncertain year for us as well..one awesome RC quality is to modify plans...in all aspects of life. We're here for you Jen...as often as you need us
We just booked October too! Need to start airfare shopping!sjs314 said:
Big hugs! Hope all is well! Will be thinking about you!i_heart_the_mouse said:Hey girls. I just wanted to drop a quick line to let you know I'm dropping off the DIS for awhile to take care of some personal stuff. Nothing too major, just stuff that needs to be dealt with without distraction.
Love and hugs to all. Will be back as soon as I can
Oh wow! We definitely want pictures!Janet B said:Hi Peeps!!
Late Breaking News to Report!!:
A sweet magical UPGRADE for our own Magic!!
6308 Suite (on the point), 1 Bedroom, 2 bath, and CL Amenities!!
She was so happy she cried when she saw the room!
Happy Anniversay / Happy Birthday to DH!!
-----------------------------------------------
Kook: Magic wants to know if you need any pictures??
Love it - please post muppet pics!Mousemommy1 said:Planning on getting caught up with all of you tonight.
Just got back from seeing DD8 perform in a production of The Muppets
Now, my reward for a hard weeks work....(note the bottle topper)
We really loved BC. What if you look at dropping CL? How much would that save?jennyjinx3 said:Help me step away from the computer!! Now I have priced out POR for this trip, would be $1400 cheaper that BC CL!!! All this because DD8 said at bedtime that she dreams to have Mickey Waffles again, which BC CL will not have.
$1400 could buy a lot of waffles...and drinks!!
But it cannot buy the memories of staying at the BC right???
Do you know if the discount applies to your whole foursome even if only one is an AP holder? One of our friends has an AP and last night there was a discussion about whether or not to bring clubs.Mousemommy1 said:DH is golfing at Disney for the first time in April.

Congrats...that sounds like so much fun!

But so much space for the kiddos would be nice.
. There's also the quiet pool everybody can utilize. so nice to be able to walk back easily from epcot. We've had units where you can see the epcot 'ball' and others with FW view over the foilage. 
and prices for standardar views usually lower than BC and easier to book, but BCV would be our 1st choice.
don't overthink the Poly! It will be wonderful for you both! 
And congratus on booking the dessert party! 
Hi all!Got room for one more?
again... we "met" on the POP thread! 
and very cool 
)What's wrong with your people? Can't you make your minds' up?
me 'neither, nice to see there are others out there
keishashadow we have a lot of fun here RCing, talking about RCing with everything else thrown in!! Cynthia, you and I are kindred spirits...we rarely change ...except the mental ones... And Pas changed her mind (unbelievable really 
) and retained the throne ..(much to my happiness!). So it's the lady-in-waiting role that suits me. Lacey! 
for booking a BWV studio for October (and for a trip with friends with no kids ...) 
Janet, I don't see your summer dates or possible Fall trip listed!
hopefully very soon....
Just got off the phone with WDW, so switched my 2 nights at POR BB to 1 night at Pop pre GF/YC stays
If you would like to be added to the RC list, please give me your dates! And congrats on making an RC!
Yes please! We would bring clubs but it would be nice to get the discount!Mousemommy1 said:I'm not sure about the club rentals but I do believe that the rate can be extended to others. DH is golfing with our friend (who is not an AP holder) but he can get the AP rate. He is bringing his own clubs however. I'll be glad to report back once DH has done it to give a little more insight as to what is included.
Janet B said:Happy Sunday!
Need dates please!! (and that includes everyone that hasn't provided me with dates and resort(s) yet!!
's to you all! Thanks for all the love and support, it means the world to me. I am sorry it took awhile for me to update, DH just got discharged yesterday, we are at home now and I had a minute to myself so had to drop by and let you all know I'm thinking of you and very grateful for your kind words and all the support. DH is alive, thank God -- about 6 shots where fired in the kuffuffle, and the inmates ended up escaping with DH's and his partners fire arms -- they where from a notorious gang and murder wouldn't have fazed them, so I am so thankful DH only lost a finger/ and perhaps 2 fingers (if surgery doesn't take) but he and his partner still have their lives. Marie
My RCer Family
DH had his fourth finger, right hand amputated on Tue night. On Thur they did surgery and moved his pinky over into the 4th finger spot, did a bone graft on the shattered pinky and pinned it. We have to wait 6 weeks to see if the bone graft takes and his pinky is savable. If so, it will require a few more surgeries. If it doesn't take, it will mean a other amputation. It's given a 50/50 chance.
DH is positive and determined to just get on with the healing. He has about 6 months of workers comp/ healing to do I believe.
DH is is so much pain (phantom pain they call it) from where the limb used to be. I feel so bad because there's not much you can do for phantom pain and it can last quite a long time. He's a trooper though and I am so thankful he's still here to share life with me. Thank you all for the positive thoughts, the prayers, the love and support. I love you all
Ps....the cons where caught, so I hope they go away for a long, long time!!!
