See, now that you've seen the answers, you realize just how easy those were, doncha???

[amid chaos]

Morning....glad I missed fridays riddle(s)......

Happy St patricks day to all.


Norah is in DC...so far, having a ball. her only complaint is they have to dress professionally for the majority of the day..not exactly her comfort zone. We practically had to buy her a new wardrobe for this trip.

I hope everyone is enjoying tidbits of spring.

 

[Lars624]

I wanna go to that Bed & Breakfast!!
It looks very inviting!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

It looks like I'm going to get to meet up with a few Disers I've never met before when I go to WDW I'm getting excited!

 

[yepod]

The luck of the Irish!

Laura, I'm jealous...take me with you!!!!!!

We've had several conversations here about when we're going in October/November...we are having a family meeting this week to plan our summer....which will roll into fall and the WDW Trip!!!!

We can't decide where to stay...I like the idea of the Wilderness Cabins, and maybe splitting with Polynesian....Unfortunately, I think I've raised a couple of Disney snobs, and my kids only want to stay on the lagoon...(hmmmm..wonder where they get THAT from)

Who knows how a non-DVC goes about booking Wilderness Villas?? Do I go throught CRO???
