Our little thread of BIG Resort changes*OLD THREAD link on last pg. to new thread!

wookie: I have read that people say to keep trying and checking for the ones you cannot get? But who am I to say...really.

Trish: Your pictures are gorgeous! And hugs to you...it must be hard to see her off. Can't imagine.

Ugh, I am waiting not so patiently for the next round of AP discounts to come out. I am sure I haven't mentioned that before right??

Next week at work I have 39 hrs (mostly evenings)....that is a lot for me, usually I am at about 25 on a good week. I said to DH I hope you won't miss me, and he starts chanting..."concierge concierge concierge!!"

He is officially a CL convert. Wondering how he will take to this cruising thing.

I figured I would try a couple of times until we leave and then try again the day of.

Hopefully, we'll both survive work this next week. I start working 5 days a week in my friend's day care plus picking up kids for the lady next door. Which reminds me that I need to get the minivan cleaned up before Tuesday.

UGH....Minivan cleaning is NOT my favorite chore!

Hello ladies!

Trying to get a quick post in before I go pick up Miss M from her playdate.

Janet: I saw the new pic! Is that her band uniform? She looks AMAZING! Love it, love it, love it. All these RC kids get their good looks from their mommas.

Speaking of...

Jen: the pic! Those girlies are just

Trisha: Lovely photo of the girls with Minnie!

. Yes, tthat is funny. I am a big BWI lover, although the room interiors are a little too foo-foo-ey for me as well.. But then I look at the art on the walls, the hallway carpeting, the hallway decor with old Jersey Shore photography, and of course the BW itself and I am all GOOD.

Gettin' me all excited for our BWI trip. I was so surprised how much I liked it inside when we walked around in January. (Had to walk through again back in June to remind myself.)

Husbands are funny sometimes. Mine loves WDW. The only park he doesn't particularly like is The Magic Kingdom.

Agreed! Is it the crowds that bother him? It just always seems so very crowded.

Well there is just no way I am going to get caught up today. I wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone.

Going to be livin' vicariously through you. Just waiting until after the car clean-up.

Ugh, I am waiting not so patiently for the next round of AP discounts to come out. I am sure I haven't mentioned that before right??

You and I both, biding our time for those blasted discounts. I keep checking too.

Everyone

Quiet Day here I guess being Friday everyone is Busy Busy

MAGIC I guess I like frumpy foo foo too My favorite 2 resorts decor wise are GF and BWI.

I love WL and AKL for the WOW Factor you get when you first step into the Lobbies

Took a nap today and had a dream we did a split stay WL/BWI Hmmm

Trish Great pics of the girls!

Off to get some dinner

 

[trishadono]

Had to check on Janet's avatar and cute she is!

We should do a post a pic of kid with character day. Like first Monday of the month or something. ???

Passholder rates already, me too!!!

Any GV suggestions for GF ? I think sago would work, water on either side but ... Only stayed there once.

BWI , couldn't afford it back in 1996 and vowed to take dh there someday. Our trip alone in nov it wasn't available. Now he hooked on monorail resorts but still... Someday!

you guys the best.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Just got back from a walk with the fam, the kids are playing with their AG dolls, and DH and I are chilling. DD7 saw a contest on Disney Junior to win a Disney Cruise on the dream and she is relentlessly making me enter. She says it is her new dream! funny.

Will be back all!

 

[Janet B]

Happy TGIF!! and to celebrate we are going to appropriately.... TGI Fridays!

Dani, have a terrific time in Sea Isle! Love the pix so far!

Wookie, so close!! Keep trying on those MB... perhaps the EP will come available for you. You are doing the Halloween party too, right?

WOW Dani I just googled Sea Isle City and it looks gorgeous! And only 8 hrs away....Hmmmm for next year!

Jen, you are that close to the NE??? Oh, the possibilities!!!

And love the pix of the girls!! They are sooo cute!! :flower3

JanetB, your new Sam avatar is *****in'!!!!!!!! Such a pretty young lady. :->

Janet: I saw the new pic! Is that her band uniform? She looks AMAZING! Love it, love it, love it. All these RC kids get their good looks from their mommas.

Had to check on Janet's avatar and cute she is!

Janetb: Just have to say your new avatar is the cutest little button ever!

Thanks guys!! You are all so observant Yes it is Sam in her Marching Band uniform... yesterday was pix day. She is loving it all so far!

Here is Sam with her friend Megan:

UGH....Minivan cleaning is NOT my favorite chore!

Jen, me either... so I avoid cleaning mine at all costs!

 

[jennyjinx3]

Janet: yep I would totally be up for a driving RC meet up someday!

JanetB: Howz it goin'? Please hook me up for a pg 1 Aug 2014 trip to BWI (yep, a RC ch-ch-change already away from Poly)! You know I am gonna book both of these date ranges, but the early line on dates is either Aug 17-21 or Aug 21-25. (disclaimer: subject to lotsa minor tweaks). I just adored our BWI CL room last year but our buds don't like CL, so maybe a BW view compromise. Lots of time, we'll see.

Done ... you know what dates I'm hoping for....

It's really beginning to sound like August 2014 is the time to be at WDW .... all the kool kids will be there! I need to see how I do with the Aug/Sept heat this year before I decide! Also not sure I'm willing to give up F&W 2 years in a row!!!

you'll do fine Linda, you could run circles around us!

Christine:

Janet: Our Pop QUEEN! When does Sam head back to school? Or is she back already?!

Miss, school starts Tues after Labor day... so she has about 10 days left to finish her summer packets....

Hoping Miss M is easing into school okay minus her favorite buds in her classes. It seemed that my kids had that same issue. On the upside it did force them to branch out to meet other kids. And its good Miss M had a playdate already.

's Thanks guys for DH's best wishes! I will for sure let you all know how it goes

Janet for sure, I intend to meet you one day! That will be wonderful, I just know it!

Absolutely! We'll be waiting for word on DH.

Well I survived college move in day!

Having last week at CBR really helped.

Knowing we staying at VGF in January is my goal.

I know that that will be an awesome trip. 2 bedrooms will be nice.

Obama visited buffalo so exits were closed when we arrived and caused problems.

Then on way home he headed to Syracuse and our 3.5 hr drive took 6!!!

Home with Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon so all good

Love and kisses to all! Thanks for giving me something to read and feel each day. You a great bunch of ladies sorry for those who need TLC

Trish, I know its hard letting go and you are right, having the Disney trip right before sending her off to college was perfect to help ease the sting a bit...

And LOVE the girls with Minnie! Beautiful pix!!

BTW Trish, I am from Upstate NY originally ... Rochester... whereabouts are you??

Do it!! You gotta be in it to win it!! (okay it does sound like the lottery but its true!! )

Husbands are funny sometimes. Mine loves WDW. The only park he doesn't particularly like is The Magic Kingdom.

Not like the MK??

Janet: yep I would totally be up for a driving RC meet up someday!

Just editing my prior post when I read this!! Absolutely!!

 

[jennyjinx3]

I am only about 1 hr from Buffalo, I wanted to drive down when Sarah passed away. DH and I discussed it at length. I should've met up with you and Jeanette.

Jenny SIC is my favorite jersey shore town. It's beautiful and laid back, very family oriented, and a quick car ride to the bigger towns.

Today was WONDERFUL. Seriously, I couldn't have planned a better day if I tried. We dropped the boys off at the water park, went to eat, and by the time we had gotten into a store they were ready to hit the pier rides! So we all went to the pier and did some rides. Daniel chickened out of the big rides that he was absolutely sure he was going to love (and I was delighted! lol). We spent a while in the big arcade and Daniel won the thousand ticket jackpot on the fishing wheel game. If you spend time in the Disney arcades you would know it. He was SO happy and I was so proud of him. I won a video poker tournament lol. We walked out with 2800 tickets. Next month I will bring our other vouchers and see if there's anything he wants to use them on. We have a LOT at home. Tomorrow is a relaxing day. I need a break!

Luckily, it's not too bad. I'll have to do another big clean of it before our trip.
