July 31-Aug 5 OKW
Dates subject to slight change this year a few days either way but general time period will stay. And OKW looks pretty solid... for now. All should go without saying because this IS the RC, after all. 
to you, too. Take it easy and enjoy your much-deserved night out.
I'm excited to hear what you think about the wing. Don't you dare upgrade to the tower. 
(POR with that savings is mighty tempting though, isn't it?!) As requested! We'll be at CR from 26th Oct - 30th Oct. (Tentatively, of course. 
)
Just saw the Oz trailer (again! Thought of you Melissa!)and now I think maybe we'll watch the original together later on.
) Lots of his co-workers complained about how the lab was closed during the last sequestration so they couldn't come in to work. Nerds. I tell ya. 
May 15 - 20 BC CL, Nov 16 - 21 POR / November 21-24 3 nt Bahamas
However, I will not do that to him. He really wants to see the Bosox, and I don't want to give up a potential meeting with Candace!!
). Was curious what it is like. 
As of now....we are at BWV 11/1-6. We will most likely drop The first or last day once air comes out, depending on which dates give us better fares.
Yeah....drives me nuts! (well, more nuts than I already am!Pigletsmommy-The multiquote poof-I understand. It drives me bonkers.
Happy Friday RC friends!
It was just a totally different type of Disney vacation. Still had the incerdible Disney service and pampering, but it was much more relaxing without running through the parks all day (although if you are the type that constantly has to be going, you could be...there is so much to do.) The kids loved having some freedom to do their own thing, and I certainly enjoyed my time in the adult pool!Pigletsmommy: Wow...your comment about the cruise, this is what I am afraid of I think! Liking it sooo much that we will want to do another...I will be budgeting forever!
Well. For the guy who didn't want to do a cruise in the first place, he will not of hear of cancelling it. He is even willing to give up Boston instead.
So....I need to find a way to make some more money!!
Hubby was lukewarm on it when we first booked, but went along with it cause it was my birthday. He drank the kool aid and is hooked. Wishing you some budget 
to make it work! Maybe worst case scenario, you can cut off the Poly land portion after. Ladies: On an unrelated note, has anyone ever done the Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot? The girls love the Land ride, and are fascinated with the greenhouses, as am I (in my former life pre-kids as a horticulturist
Oh yes, apparently I cannot step away from the Dis for more than a couple of hours!!

I knew I should've hidden it! As much as I love Johnny Depp ( ), Willy Wonka is and always shall be Gene Wilder.
Missoutandabout said:Yep, thanks Janet!
Miss M requested to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, instead of The Wizard of Oz. It's the Johnny Depp version.
my AP's are good until Sep, so you never know 
Six weeks is waaaaay too long for everyone to be sick. UGHHi everybody! Glad to see everyone is still changing away!
We cancelled our fall trip to WL thinking we'd take an adults only trip this pasat month. We were all sick for six weeks (flu, stomach bugs, admitted to the hospital...drama!!) so we didn't visit in February. Now we're back on for October! Booked Beach Club Villas only to read icky reviews about the rooms, so immediately cancelled and rebooked at the Poly for 10/20-10/27.
Lord knows if we'll make it!
. October's weather will be great and I've read those same reviews about BCV - you made a great change to Poly and all the longhouses should be rehabbed by then, right?I can officially say W00T W00T to that!I can now officially say...
I am going to Disney next month!!!
Happy March everyone!!!!
The longer the cruise, the cheaper the daily rate. You just need to book a longer cruise to save some $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.
. I prefer longer cruises because it takes us a few days just to get used to the motion and routine. My vote is to save-up and plan on a longer cruise.So true about those cabinsKook, sorry about spring break, but your reasoning for cancelling seem to be a sound decision...and you know those cabins are not going anywhere...
I understand what you're feeling about posting when you have so many distractions and changes going on. Though it can be threapeutic for you, sometimes you should just take a break from it and do it when the mood strikes. We're all here to help with everyone's changes (and cancelationsNot a cancellation...postponement
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've got your back. But I'm actually not in a cancelation funk - all is well, my sweet.So glad DD isn't having migraines today, poor thing. They HAVE to give you two days off!!HRH worried me yesterday...poor baby.She is back to herself 100%
So I told the hospital I need 2 days off...they said we will see...I replied, uh no, I will not be here...wonder if I'll still have a job...me thinks yes
Welcome aboard the SS ChangealotI need certify that I am a Resort Changer, so help me.
I want to introduce myself. I love all things Disney! Me and my family can't get enough of disney. My family just wants to be there. They actually don't care where, as long as we're there. So that's good, because that gives me flexibility, but bad, because it allows me to change.
My typical disney reservations go like this. We decide before we go on our next trip when we want to return, so that if there is a good BB, we can book. If there isn't then i usually book at regular rates a week or two when we get back at the least amount on-site hotel. And then if there is a discount, I change it and have it applied or change it to upgrade room and have it applied. If there is Free Dining, I change it again. And finally if there is an AP rate I change it again...
So we just bought DVC and booked our trips for May and November using points, but then when we were looking for somewhere to go for Spring Break about 2 months ago, we ended at you guessed it, disney. We booked POR at the rack, then upgraded to POR Royal Room, then added the spring discount, then added the AP discount. Now we are a month away and I'm trying to decided if we sound rent points and stay at AKL. IT'S A DISEASE!Help me!
Thanks for reading

(We have many life preservers). It's not a disease....it's a gift
Nail hit on head, Linda. My shoulders are lighter and I actually feel much better about all this uncertainty. I'd love some new Deluxe Room photos since yours may have been rehabbed. Everyone loves new resort photos! Thanks.WDWKOOK: Postponements can be the BEST sort of relaxation sometimes.
Love your trip plans and and here's a
for all those NUTS
Big hug right back. Never heard of Institute Day, do tell.Big hugs to our Jeanette, Kook and Jen.
Got the kiddo at home today. It's an "Institute Day"
Hubs forwarded the lab-wide email from the director about the sequestration. Nothing will happen until they hear about the final budget (by 27th March at the latest); nothing needs to happen until then due to the layoffs and budget cuts which occurred last year. Ah well, so no extra time off for him ... yet. (I won't call it a pay cut because I'm trying to see the silver lining.
Loved it and so did DD, I highly recommend it and the price is a bargain.Ladies: On an unrelated note, has anyone ever done the Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot?

Thanks for posting our Linda - what fun - love those name tagsLinda (far right) and Laurie (far left) - both dear friends. Looks like the DIS Divas are having a great time!
Go powder your nose and get real purdy! Seriously, don't even think about GF tonight and have a GREAT night out with DH and friendsBeen lurking a bit..at karate now with kiddos, then home to feed them and stay the beautifying process
KOOK - sounds like you made the right decision, sorry you have to POSTPONE, but WDW isn't going anywhere. Better to go with a clear head and enjoy
Happy Friday and Happy March!
Since we've already had one great pasrific change with Jeanette moving over to a CSR BC room after a long WDTC hold, but with probably great WDW music... (DO NOT CHANGE THIS - we all want to hear your impressions), I thought we needed a cancelation!
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'll be back later to multi-quote, but I hope Marie's DH is recovering well and I hope that Linda/MAGIC will report back to us (and the CR thread
I hope the month flies by!!A Belated Happy Birthday to Dani and to Daniel!!
Our precious Lilyanna is next
HRH worried me yesterday...poor baby.She is back to herself 100%

So I told the hospital I need 2 days off...they said we will see...I replied, uh no, I will not be here...wonder if I'll still have a job...me thinks yes

If it were a disease, it would be something we need to be cured of though. I like to think of it more as a resort changing hobby.Attention: All Newcomers and Veteran RCers (you know the drill)

Well and I'm still not happy with Johnny Depp about Dark Shadows. I know it's partially my own fault for getting my hopes up, especially once I heard Tim Burton was involved. Plus after hearing JD saying he was not making a "spoof", which is exactly what it looks like. I wanted it like the series, all dark and gloomy, not.....well not what it was.

I can't keep up with all these days off. ) Argonne! Small world. Hubs had a post doc there for a few years before we moved overseas; he's now at Fermi down the road. 
I love your Gene Wilder Highlander vision. I've not seen Dark Shadows -- I assume it was a total flop? Have you seen Frankenweenie yet? I usually adore all things Burton. 
Not anymore, are you near ANL? We moved to IN when I started kindergarten. I'm in Northern VA now
