Very lucky! I was so worried about paying $750 each for flights that it was making me sick Even with paying for an extra night and dinner OOP we'll still be ahead I have to make sure I don't dip into my shopping budget

Thanks Mary Wednesday is weigh in this week so will let you know that evening how this past week has gone. We've increased the exercise so will be interesting to see if it makes a difference. We've been having Florida like humidity here the past couple of days, so it makes it even harder to exercise, but we haven't stopped Good for you girl!! Proud of you, it's tough, but so worth it isn't it?

She is great....it's quite comical, I do the laundry and sit at the kitchen table drinking coffee as she irons....every year, that's our routine She's the best!!

Woo Hoo! You get to leave a day early!

So excited... love the fact that we will be all settled on Friday so we can do something all day Saturday....now just have to decide what that will be

She would be on the first plane out to help you Last summer, my sis and her family left 2 days before Jasmine and I and my sister said "do you think she would come and help me" ... you guessed it....she went and helped her. She absolutely loves it...she really needs to start her own business.

I found your trip report earlier today (from Jan. trip). To the dismay of my dog and the dishes in the kitchen sink I read it in one sitting!! I was so heartbroken for you about canceling your next trip and just had to followe the link to your PTR to see what the plans were for 2011!! I had to shout WOO HOOoutloud for the trip being back on again in 2010!! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading your report. Aladian was a trip, I loved how he is laughing out loud in alot of the picks and Jasmine is beautiful and seems to be very level headed (great job Mom). I'm in for the PTR and TR. Our trips overlap a couple of days and I'll be eyeballing the line Sunday (my Epcot day as well) at the grey goose slushie kiosk for a familiar face. On to the dishes and I think the dog is doing the "I gotta go" dance.

WELCOME!! Sorry about that, that happens to me too and before I know I've been on the Dis for hours

We are very sad that Aladdin can't come with us this timeHe really made the January trip for us...to see it thru his eyes was great for us!

I will absolutely, positively, be in the Grey Goose Slushie line at some point that day....it may be right at 11am when WS opens Really hope we run into each other!

Thanks again for reading along!

FLIGHTS ARE BOOKED!!

Boy does that take a weight off my shoulders I was getting a little stressed when those prices weren't coming down, but lucked in with the Friday flights!!

We will be taking the 630am flight with a one hour lay over in Minneapolis and then arrive into Orlando just after 1pm. It was quite comical as we were at my sisters today because I have never booked with Delta and just wanted another person to look at everything before I hit the "your visa will be charged" button Those of you who have followed our past TR's know of Jasmine's lack of love for flying Well, I really should have had a camera ready when she saw the plane we take out of Winnipeg....it has 13 rows and we're in row 12 Then, to really throw her over the edge, I had to tell her we weren't sitting together from Minneapolis to Orlando She is actually in the seat in front of me, but there were absolutely no seats together. The one good thing is, we both get a window seat and hopefully, we will both catch a little nap on that leg of the trip. I will have to rethink the whole "one" carry on business though

I also called the reservation centre to book room only for Friday night. I was a tad worried because I had checked online before I called and there was no availabilty showing at ASMu But I had a wonderful lady helping and she got us a standard room with the 40% off and linked our two reservations so hopefully we won't have to switch rooms! I do like my room all cleaned and disinfected before I unpack and I just don't want to have to do it twice

Finally, I changed one of our ADR"s....I know, you're all shocked I decided to cancel Tutto Italia and book Via Napoli I thought what the heck, there's availability and we should really try something new! Jasmine is a pizza freak, so she's really looking forward to trying this!

Well that's all the updates...hope everyone had a great weekend!

Yay for booked flights! That's such a great feeling when that's done, isn't it?

 

[declansdad]

Does your plane look like this? That was a fun flight from Bangor to Boston.

 

[dawnbu40]

for getting your flights
for Jasmine for the tiny plane and not sitting in the same row

So glad the switch worked out well for you!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Hooray for the flight being cheaper and getting an extra night! I hope you don't have to move - 14 nights woo hoo!

Even though you have to work until 4:30, if you're like me, you needn't worry. Won't you have a suitcase out and started at least a week before?

Big hugs for Jasmine that she'll get through just fine. Can she take a Benadryl or something like that so she can sleep most of the flight?

But I had a wonderful lady helping and she got us a standard room with the 40% off and linked our two reservations so hopefully we won't have to switch rooms!

That's fantastic!

I decided to cancel Tutto Italia and book Via Napoli

I think you made a great decision; this way we'll get a first-hand review!

Wow - Congrats on adding the extra night for a grand total of 14 nights. That is amazing,. I have never vacationed that long, anywhere! But as soon as both my kids are in college that is exactly what I am going to do. I want a 14 day trip. Hope you were able to get that extra night!

The best feeling...I printed them off and put them right in the binder

Does your plane look like this? That was a fun flight from Bangor to Boston.

If that's how our plane looked, there is no way Jasmine would be anywhere near it It' a CRJ and it has 13 rows....I took one once to Toronto, I thought it was a great little plane

for getting your flights
for Jasmine for the tiny plane and not sitting in the same row

So glad the switch worked out well for you!

Thanks Dawn I told Jasmine you sent her a hug and she said "did you have to tell everyone about my hangup" I replied with "only that one, shall I tell them about the rest

Hooray for the flight being cheaper and getting an extra night! I hope you don't have to move - 14 nights woo hoo!

Thanks Debby

You are absolutely right, I won't have to worry, the suitcases will be out by September long weekend

Big hugs for Jasmine that she'll get through just fine. Can she take a Benadryl or something like that so she can sleep most of the flight?

given to Jasmine from you! Gravol seems to work for Jasmine with the sleeping so I have already purchased it

I will give you a play by play of the food and the restaurant, and I'll get Jasmine to give a report on the young Italian waiters

Wow - Congrats on adding the extra night for a grand total of 14 nights. That is amazing,. I have never vacationed that long, anywhere! But as soon as both my kids are in college that is exactly what I am going to do. I want a 14 day trip. Hope you were able to get that extra night!

Thanks Mary Ellen

14 days is amazing! I love the fact that we can work in time at the resorts and enjoying the pools....and maybe really enjoying the adult beverages around the pools

Woo Hoo for your flights being booked!! Super awesome that you were able to get 40% when you didn't there was anything available! Hope you don't have to switch rooms. That was my biggest fear when we had a one night before a longer stay. What a headache!

So excited about the new pizza place! I can't wait to try that one, but I don't think we're going to for quite some time. I'm glad I'll get to read about it before anyway! (I have an ADR for late November right now.)

 

[Harlie]

Hi joining in! Nice to see a fellow prairie dweller going around the same time! It looks like we will both be in the same park on the 22nd! I love these PTR, especially the ones of those that are going around the same tim lol! Its kinda fun lol!


No I am off to finish the rest of your PTR as I am only up to the second page loL!

I sure hope we don't have to switch, I love to get in and get the room set up as "home" for 2 weeks!

Jasmine is so excited about it....she's hoping she likes it as much as Tutto Italia! Tutto is her favorite restaurant on property!

Welcome!!I am going to have to finish this post and get over and read your PTR!

Maybe we'll be lucky enough to run into each other on the 22nd...will you still talk to me if I have my Bomber shirt on

 

[Harlie]

Don't worry about the Bombers! The Riders will School your boys on Labour day! That would be cool to see some Disers while down especially a Fellow Canuck lol! (even though you are a Bomber fan lol)
