HOME
CAT!!!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

CHRIS!!! i hope you feel better!!!! ughh sounds like no fun!!!

How is everything going? any progress at all? How's Sal holding up?

ok tell me the whole point thing you were just kidding about right????

I wish i was kidding, nope the points are all true.

Aunt is getting a little worse verrry slowly and when we just went she had more machines on her. i couldn't bear to go today and i think the kids need a break, so maybe tomorrow we will head out there again, not positive though.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

heyyyyyyyyy Chris, that's AWESOME about all the parties!~!~ sooo cool!

===

blahh really snowing out here!
no going out anywhere!

So, (thinking back a few days), what's this 40% off booking coupon? Is is through the Disney Visa? I didn't see it.

And when do they announce free dining usually? Hurricane season really turns me off. Assuming we don't make any life changes, we will go the week after Thanksgiving. A PreK teacher who is a really good friend wants me to sub for the fall semester for her aide. I am not crazy about it, but hey, it's just a semester. Can't beat that. And we will run off to disney after Thanksgiving still. Hey, it's part of the deal.

Oh no I missed it!!!!???? Do tell, what was this 40%???? EEK!

It's a special offer mailed out to certain people. It's not available to the public unless you get the postcard

And when do they announce free dining usually? Hurricane season really turns me off. Assuming we don't make any life changes, we will go the week after Thanksgiving.

Beginning of April is when it is announced publicly, BUT the rumors are confirmed about TAIL end of March with pre-booking done the 1st 4 days of April (1st and 2nd for Disney Visa Card Holders)
WE LOVE LOVE LOVE hurricane season! can't wait to get back on target with that and November! We were married during Hurrican Frances! we were the LASt Disney wedding before it hit! The cosmeticians even said they cancelled all their other appts. after ours!! (I got married at 9am!)

Thats GREAT!! You can make all your disney money & then take off!!! i can't decide when to go either....I would really really like to try early january...when the Christmas stuff was still up...but the holiday crowds were gone....BUT I'd also like to try late November...when we could go to MVMCP, BUT I absolutely LOVE October and love MNSSHP....for a family like us the free dining is awesome...we have 1-2 character meals per day & absolutely love them....BUT I also want to travel overseas soon (like in 2008) dh & I really want to go to Italy & France & of course I'm bringing the kids too...so I know that's a 10k trip easily.....I just don't know what to do!

ChI am on Plum Sykes next book The Debutante Divorcee. Through most of it, but it is not as good as that one. I liked In Her Shoes, but didn't like Goodnight Nobody. Next is Something Blue. And that's just January!!

omg you DO read a lot! I'll let you know what I think later today

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

Good Morning!

Chris- I hope you feel better soon. It sounds as though you had a great day before though.

Cat- Welcome back! We want to hear all about your trip!!!

 

[julsmom]

Cat!!! Come on!! I cannot take the suspense!

 

[CathrynRose]

Cat? Are you back?

Yes - Im back. But Im right at that stage where if I talk too much about it, Ill start to cry - so I need time to calm down before I talk about it. Pathetic - I know!

SO SAD TO BE BACK!!! Crap!

Ummmmmm - we did win, though!

 

[scrappinmom]

OMG what did you win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! us sad pathetic people STUCK here while you were gone have been waiting to live vicariously thru you!!!!! Can't wait to hear

glad you're home safe & sound too

 

[julsmom]

Cat!!!!!!!!!!! What????????? Tell Tell Tell!!!!!

We got dream fast passes while we were at MGM, but we didn't use them.

Is it something like that?????????

 

[julsmom]

If I had your number, I would so be calling you right now!

 

[julsmom]

Cat, you better be typing.

Chris and I are waiting...

 

[julsmom]

Please?

 

[CathrynRose]

I wanted to wait until i had pictures uploaded to go along with the story!

We had such a good time. SO GOOD!

But the win was this - and Ill post pics later:

Saturday we were at MK and it was crowded - REALLY crowded, like disapointedly crowded. We kinda were whining back and forth "at least we've been here before, we'll just enjoy the atttractions as we can"

We get on Haunted Mansion, as we are getting off they stop the ride, after the car after us...we get into that hallway at the exit, and this Dream Lady hands us a button (Ill post a pic later) Me and Danny and are like WE WON!!! We WON A BUTTON - YAY! (truthfully, I know everyone always says this, but we really do NEVER win, so the button had us psyched!!) Then the woman says - make sure you go over to them (pointing at more Dream folks) and get your wrist band!

Wristband?!?!? Wristband for what?!?!?

The Other ones said "you guys were in the right place at the right time!"

We won a "Dream Magic Hour" - Park stayed open an hour later for a little small group of us (probably 200 - 300, tops??)

They had a little "thing" in tomorrowland to get us all excited, with Mickey and Minnie - asked "have you ever wished you could have the park to yourself?" - then they started the hour with a big fireworks bang, and off everyone went running.

In that hour we rode:

Pirates
Big Thunder - twice
Haunted Mansion
Peter Pan
Dumbo
The Carousel!!!

We literally, were running! No wait - what so ever - at all. The rides were waiting for people to get on!!

It was amazing - just amazing. We'd run past people, and high five them as we ran past. People were EXSTATIC! It was SOOOO cool! Rides would end and everyone would cheer "WE LOVE DREAM HOUR!!" We were running around the park, laughing.

Danny and I were jealous of the dream ears we'd see walking around. We got a WAY better dream!!! It was (BAD WORD) awesome!!!

In one hour we rode

 

[ANTSS2001]

Good morning Peeps !! happy Monday!!!

BTW, it's snowing here in nyc,so far about 1 inch but they say 1-3 by morning. Hey ants your close by,did you get any snow???

last night on my way from work at around 11:30PM it was snowing like crazy but we only got about 2 inches just like what Chris said just enough to make drivers go coo..coo...

tell me more about that??? Can you really walk to Epcot from BCV? Is it worth renting points to do so??? Epcot is our favorite park

friends did say it is walking distance but I would still be driving or taking the bus if ever we get to stay there... cant walk in the heat

Yes - Im back. But Im right at that stage where if I talk too much about it, Ill start to cry - so I need time to calm down before I talk about it. Pathetic - I know!

SO SAD TO BE BACK!!! Crap!

Ummmmmm - we did win, though!
