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

[trishadono]

I love the frugal-ness of our RCers!! I just booked our flights down in May 2014 on Jetblue, got a great deal, and used up the credit I had. One more trip in before those AP's expire!!

We love JetBlue too. Only airline near us that goes direct to MCO!(we drive up to Syracuse to get it).

They added a few extra flights and I got $98 tickets to our GF weekend in Nov. Great rate and arrives at 1:30 vs 7:30. Just in time for RPC trifle.

Linda: Aww, what a lovely memory to make. Will you get to see family again during your next trip?

Magic: Oh, yum. Will have to go in for tapas next time we head into the city.

Jen: That is a STELLAR deal on tickets!

Melissa: Oh noooo... covers and bling? (Were they cute?) Well, I guess I know what we're doing during one of our first days out when we get down there. I already mistakenly told Miss M that they had little doohickeys you could put on the bands. Did your kiddos have any problems with them popping off? I'm contemplating peeling Miss M's but I'm still hesitant.

Check for it in your Apple App Store; hopefully it's available up there. It's a nifty little Target coupon app you can use in-store which stacks automatically with any existing promos they're running.

ooh - I am heading to Target tonight. I need to download this app!

Naaaaah, not at all!!!!!!! Oooh and you've a tasty switch to BWI from BWV, nice!

Yep - and saved over $100 in the process!!!

Melissa: Just saw 10% off the Little Mermaid combo Blu-Ray too! And you can get a stackable $7.00 off coupon if you jump through flaming hoops and join Scott Shared Values (then sign in with your Disney account and download a coupon app. I don't mind the flaming hoops because it's $7.00. )

I don't think I have LM on DVD??? I guess I need to check. I just bought Mulan and Oliver and Company this past weekend. We took the kids to Disney on Ice and dh and I realized we had never seen Mulan. How we missed that one I will never know! I need to google and see what year it came out! Oliver and Company was my dd14's FAVORITE movie when she was little. We only had it on vhs so we haven't watched it in years. I saw it on bluray and had to pick it up. We watched Mulan 1&2 but didn't watch Oliver yet.

Lacey - Friday!!! Definitely!!! Besides a fiesta margarita, I did not try anything else at F&W last weekend. Just walked through the WS to meet up with Ginny and then take the kids on Malestrom. I cannot wait to go this weekend!!!!

How did you resist????

This was the Fiesta Frozen Margarita....strawberry, lime, and mango. YUMMY!!!

Lacey, you didn't miss it! Little Mermaid was just released today on Blu-ray. I wound up paying $13 + tax with all the discounts.

Melissa, oh I need about three of those!

I already mistakenly told Miss M that they had little doohickeys you could put on the bands. Did your kiddos have any problems with them popping off? I'm contemplating peeling Miss M's but I'm still hesitant.

Both my kids liked them loose, actually so did DH and I, so we did not peel them out. Miss M is tiny though so you may want to. The other option is to leave it in the outer band and just cut down the extra. We had no issues with the popping off but I heard a few people saying that it did happen. It was still hot this weekend so they just felt sticky from sweating, which I think the cover will help as well.

How did you resist????

Easy, tired, cranky kids that were going to have no part of waiting in those lines

 

[gwynne]

Waiting in Minneapolis for our last flight home. We had a really nice vacation. Good news, it looks like dh won't be furloughed this time around. I will catch up on the thread tomorrow. Sending hugs to all!

Well then I will have to pack reds and pinks then

Also we have annual passes and I notices that each day it extends my ability to get FP+ by one day with it being a 60 day window. So I am curious if I have a res for 1/1/14 what will happen. I think I read somewhere fp+ is like dining, 60days +10.

I have 3 res's for that trip, will I get 3 more MB's???

I would then have 5 colors and endless outfit matching

I had 3 res. in Augusy, but only got 1 MB

 

[Sue M]

Babyberger we arrive evening of jan 25 and leaving for wdw early morning of 29th.

 

[letthewookiewin]

Thank you for all the well wishes, I actually got to drink a coffee today!!!

I am loving the RC meet pics too!!!

petey Nice to see you!! 25 days!!! And a spanking new Magic band

Here's a pic of HRH and her cake, made from my new oven!! And she even helped decorate it was great!

She is so pretty!!

wookie I've only booked the HA King at the Deluxes and since we're only a party of 2 no free connecting room so wasn't sure if you knew about it or not

I didn't know about them at all, so thank you for telling me. I didn't know what we booked was an option either. We had settled on SoG, but my friend was going to price check Disney owned resorts just for s&g's. While doing that, the CM told her about the options she booked.

I'm taking a break from cleaning...

Awww, Jeanette. Lovin' those dimples. (And those glasses, but I always tell you that.) She's such a doll.

I can also confirm, the red coloured MagicBand is really pretty! Great choice, Petey. (Not really digging the green, bit too bright for my liking -- but that's the hubbo's one, so I only have to look at it, not wear it. Shame it wasn't a forest green.) Now, if only they had purple as an option...

Miss M has already been asking about what she can get to put on it. Disney thinks of all angles, eh?

The red is really pretty. I thought all of the colors we had (red, orange, green, blue) were all pretty. I'm just partial to anything green.

MB .... so far I have pink and red and DD has yellow and green. I think I'll order a yellow one for me and a blue one for DH for Dec.

I was just playing around on MDE and was able to make FP+ reservations for Dec 4th!!!

I had so much fun making our FP+ reservations with my DH for our last trip.

Hi to wookie, SueM, Miss, sjs314, GG and y'all RCers

Mom and dad's "big deal" 50th anniversary was swell! We had a nice time yesterday. It's definitely a special occasion kind of place to be sure, but if any of you have a Fleming's nearby, I recommend it for their impeccable service and fine quality food.

Congrats to your mom and dad on 50 years of marriage!! When the DH and I celebrate that one, I want to do it at WDW.

Magic
Wookie yes, lots of big trees, it is a very pretty area.
Pas great pic! Love the pink cake, HRH really looks like she's enjoying it!
Trisadono prayers for your fil. So sorry.
Peteykirch

And all of you in wdw now, keep those pics coming! Loving it!

On the home front, upstairs bathroom mostly tiled, they just have to grout shower enclosure, install the shower stuff, glass door, etc, toilette installed cabinet for sink being installed. They're working on stairs, and painter has started upstairs, yay.

Sounds like the renos are coming along nicely.

Waiting in Minneapolis for our last flight home. We had a really nice vacation. Good news, it looks like dh won't be furloughed this time around. I will catch up on the thread tomorrow. Sending hugs to all!

I was wondering about y'all with the government shutdown. A girl that I went to school with is now a park ranger and due to the shutdown she is on an "unexpected vacation".

My DH thinks I'm crazy, but the one friend of mine that is going and I are going over all the must "do" rides for our trip and I am keeping a spreadsheet about it. The third person that is going is a good friend of my friend that I know very little. My friend said that she has a tendency to try and take things over. I figure if my friend and I have down what we for sure want to get done, if the third person (along with her toddler daughter) don't want to do it, they can go do something just the two of them. Hopefully this will keep us from having any issues or at least keep them to a minimum.

Well y'all have a good day. As soon as I get JM on the bus, I'm going to take a shower, grab a Monster, and then head to my friend's in home day care for the day.

 

[Missoutandabout]

Good afternoon to all. Just a quick hello and how'sitgoin'?

Ginny: Hope you're home and resting!

Wookie: Did you nab any accessories for y'alls' bands whilst you were there? Now that Melissa mentioned the covers for them, I went and had a peruse around the internet. Apparently there are Star Wars ones?! I also saw a picture of a 3 pack of covers which included the Haunted Mansion wallpaper pattern. Might have to get that one...

YAY!! Congrats Jen

Yep I'm home. My favorite part of my last trip was seeing my grandson and watching him and my daughter (his aunt not mother) play around together. She was his main caregiver during his cancer treatments so they have a very special bond.

Sweet Mama!!!!!!

In the middle of a TON of homework with the kiddos! Hugs to all!

I didn't. Honestly, I didn't want the temptation, so I didn't even look at them.

It's going ok
I bought some bling for my band. The Mickey Head bling, in clear, pink & purple. Looked nice on my band. But by the end of the trip, none were left. They don't stay in very well.
