To my friends who are suffering the sadness and melencholy of loss, I give you the biggest :hug: and wrap you in my heart, hold you close and feel your pain....please know we are all here with you and we LOVE YOU!!!
 
Sjs314 and Minnie&Nana: Big hugs to both of you, I am sorry for your pain at this time of year.:hug: Just to be able to put one foot in front of the other each day after losing a child must take so much strength, and I truly admire you both.

Jeanette, as I sit here at work I have tears in my eyes ... We never know how much we can touch others with our simple words and actions ... so beautiful and totally fitting with who you are :hug:

Love to all. :hug:

Wanted to add you are all remarkable, strong women and I'm thankful for you in my life, and thankful for all our RC circle of friends. :)

Here is a picture that was taken many years ago, that I wanted to share ... you can see an angel in the clouds ...I'll like to think that this is our RC angels and our loved ones watching over us. :hug:

WOW!!!!! :hug:

Good morning everyone! Big hugs to sjs and M&N! I am so sorry you are feeling sad - please don't ever apologize to us!

Ok, so I am kinda freaking out. I have to change my dates because we just got the football schedule. My BC room isn't available! YC is available though. What are the differences? Is it no big deal? I went back and looked at Poly again but the room that is available is quite a bit more again!
YC is lovely!!!!! More balconies...quieter, same amazing pool!!!

and MAGIC too!!

Chimo - when we visited Poly last year to eat at Ohana - we LOVED LOVED LOVED it. I know my family would enjoy staying there (I am just struggling with committing to the money!)
 

Thank you for the warm welcomes :goodvibes

:welcome:

Just to allay your WL fears, there is plenty to do. What I love about its location is that you are just a quick boat or bus ride away from the MK and 3 other resorts and you have another resort right next door that you can boat or walk right to. FW has horseback riding (we loved doing this on Christmas day) and pony rides, stables, petting zoo, canoing, fishing, trails, archery, two restaurants, Mickey's Backyard BBQ... Just looking at all the decorated RVs is fun!

WL has two hot tubs, activities for the kids in the afternoon at the Cub's Den, free movies on the beach and a free marshmallow roast at night. The EWP comes by nightly at 9:35. I think your kids would love the Cub's Den and there's an arcade right across from it. They have fun pool activities for the kids - The marina offers many activities and there are bike and surrey rentals and a wonderful health club that offers massages/facials. There are two restaurants and a QS right in the bldg. so no need to venture outside to eat when it's raining;)

There's plenty to see and do at WL:)

This is exactly the info I needed to see!!! As weekend warriors we have missed out on all the resorts have to offer. Now I am excited for WL :banana:


To all those that have experienced losses, I am very truly sorry for your loss. When my good friend lost her son, a few us started "paying it forward" in his honor on his angel day and his birthday, as well as when ever we felt like it. It is comforting (even if just a bit) to know that we can make someone smile in his honor. My oldest DS even dedicated his Bar Mitzvah project to her son, and it was so very special to everyone.

Thanks again for letting me into to what looks like a great group :)
 
Iheart: Yay for WDW TODAY!!!:cool1::cool1::cool1:

JanetB: What an amazing picture...thanks for sharing that.:flower3:

Step and Magic: Safe travels and have an amazing vacation!!:thumbsup2

Silly side note: I am going to change our cruise in 2013 to a 4 nighter again, DH doesn't have to know yet!:rolleyes1 November 10, 2013. I am just nervous that a 3 night won't really give us enough of a taste of what a cruise can offer, and I really want DH to love it!! All he wants is 4 nights at WDW after, so we can still do that...I will make sure of it!:goodvibes

We are happy to have you in our family, don't worry about catching up....it'll change here anyway :rotfl:

That's wonderful for you son to do such a dedication on his special day!!!! Your friend is blessed to have you & your family!

Hello ladies and g'morning to all. :goodvibes

Just wanted to say, I'm truly honoured to be a part of this group -- so many wonderful, funny, strong and gracious women here... Love you ladies.Passing around these :hug: to all of you. Now I've just gotta stop cutting these onions... making me all teary-eyed... *cough* :rolleyes1

Bon Voyage (say that like Goofy, please) to I_Heart, Magic and Step -- have a most bodaciously amazing trip! :thumbsup2 Who am I missing?!

Babyberger: Welcome! :goodvibes

Lacey: I'd go with YC. But I'm a bit biased. At least it's the same-sorta resort.

------------------

Just got our notice in the mail from Miss M's school; it had the name of her new kindergarten teacher. I've already sent her a "looking forward to meeting you" email. Oh boy, I'm already going to be labelled one of those pushy moms, eh? :rotfl: I thought I was prepared for her going off to school but it's coming up so quickly! :eek:

In WDW news, with Southwest's new sale, I've booked our January outbound flight... AoA, it's on baby!

Oh indeed! The outbound fare was listed as a "Web Only" so I figured we should grab it. Now, the cost of the return flights ... they made me do this: :scared1:

Haven't booked it yet. So, we might just have to stay down there permanently. :lmao:

I'm a strange one ... I made it thru kindergarten no problems but when I dropped my DS off for his first day of high school ... tears as soon as he was out of the car. Just looking at all those boys driving cars ... and they weren't even boys .... more like men!!! Not my little boy! :scared1:
 
Enjoy Wyoming !!!!! :goodvibes

Our DIS acronyms are plentiful, aren't they??? Sorry !!!


:hug: Never apologize for your funk! I SO understand, we all do....

So Sheila, I was saving this for my TR...but I will bring it up here....

Each visit to the parks, after riding the rides, DH and I would get a second Fastpass. Epcot we got Soarin', MK we got BTMRR....

With the kids we always release the balloons for our RC Angels :hug:

DH and I decided this trip, we would gift the FP....

We were eating in MK Bakery, and a woman asked about my dessert.Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich...YUM. It was a couple, most likely late 50s, very sweet from Australia....I asked by the way, are the two of you going on BTMRR? The Gentleman replied, hopefully. I placed the FP on the table and said, please enjoy the ride and have a Magical vacation.

After a moment, he walked up to our table and said, "We come here all the time after losing our son, and I always give away our Fastpasses, no one has ever returned the favor" So all I could say was "I am so sorry" and all he could say was "Thank you"

The reason I am telling you this Sheila (and Christine & Dani) is that our RC Angels are forever with us :hug:

Jeanette Your post brought tears to my eyes :hug: Thank You
 
M & N :hug: Sending some sunshine and hugs your way. It is like that for me in November.... I don't really talk about it much. Just know that I know all about seasons and times-of-year and how they effect us.....so...sending you hugs, sunshine and all of the happy memories you can muster up that help you through times like these. :)
 
(((hugs))) Sheila...I am the same funk all summer (which is why I am rarely here or post these days)...and then into the Fall. Toby's angel day is August 22...but then begin the memories... kids going back to school, Halloween, Thanksgiving, my BD, his BD, Christmas and then a New Year without him. I understand and please do not ever apologize; everyday must be an enormous challenge for you, dear friend. :hug:

Good Morning, RCers!

Please tell me it is Tuesday, not Wednesday?
:thumbsup2

Hope you all have a wonderful day of planning and changing! :goodvibes

Christine :hug: You are in my thoughts often, just this morning in fact because yes I thought about Toby's Angel Day, it is so close to Jay's Birthday I can't forget.
 
Janet :hug: The Angel in the clouds pic was just what I needed to see, I saved it of course.

Basketlacey never stayed at BC but have stayed at YC and I would book there, guaranteed balcony, quietier than BC

Jeanette

love the pic your DH took of the castle and the monorail. Someday:cloud9:
 
Ladies, the love on this thread brings tears to my eyes....happy tears. :goodvibes


Thank you for the well wishes. Iheart and magic--my traveling buddies please travel safely :yay::yay:

We are leaving tonight, staying near the airport in our nations capitol. :goodvibes I don't want to have to travel in rush hour traffic in the morning. I printed out lists for everyone and I'm checking them twice.....:santa: :rotfl:

I have begun taking pictures (not sure what to do yet but I am determined). Pas YOU inspire ME :hug:

I am inboxing you kook. If my secret plan works....I may be taking pictures from the balcony of a 'certain" resort......just saying.... :scared1: :goodvibes

We will check into Portofino Bay tomorrow for the first leg of our trip (3 nights) then 2 days at the Hilton Grand for Sea World/Discovery Cove, Aquatica then off to Disney for 6 nights (who knows where.... ;) )
 
MMWe visited the Poly years ago when we went to the Ahloha Dinner I feel in love immediately Bob did not like it at all :sad2: His all time favorite was WL, he liked WL even more than YC and we were upgraded to CL @ YC

I wanted to stay at BW since it was built. We visited but Bob felt it would be too noisy there in the evenings but he gave in and fell on love with the BW 110% so you just really do not know until you stay someplace.

Marie Congrates on the Subaru ! You will not be sorry. I had 2, DH has had 5 and DS Jason had 2 since 1983 IMO You made the right choice :thumbsup2

Good Morning to everyone else I Missed in one of my funks again :headache: I think funk is the new normal for me. :sad2: Yesterday was 6 months since we lost DS Shawn and last month was 3 years since losing Jason and then a week from today is Jason's Birthday, so if I don't get around to replying to all of you I am sorry. Thanks for letting me vent.

:hug: Everyone has expressed their feelings and thoughts so much better than I can but please know that you are in my thoughts.

Hi RCers,

Happy Tuesday! Sending best dialing for event wishes for everyone booking Food and Wine events today. Won't be long until those F&W booths go up!:cheer2:

GG—Goodness! I hope the fleas are starting to get under control. That must be miserable. :eek: How goes the apartment search?

To everyone heading to WDW soon, safe travels, and have a fabulous time!!:goodvibes
We’re off to Wyoming, I love our trips there! (A bit of confusion with my neighbor, apparently there is a Wyoming Michigan. As a new resident, I wasn’t aware…but it was funny when she realized we’re going to Wyoming the state.:rotfl:)

We are still living with fleas! Poor kitty isn't feeling well. My DD is having trouble dealing with everything on top of all the other stress she has in her life, 40 hour work weeks, 16 hour internship and school classes for her Masters. She is cracked but not broken. The apartment search continues ... hope to find something this week.

Have a wonderful time in Wyoming!

:thumbsup2

Hope you all have a wonderful day of planning and changing! :goodvibes

Hugs to you my friend. DD and I may make a visit to DL on Saturday and we will give a balloon to a child in honor of Toby and all our other RC angels.

Iheart, Step, and Magic a little dance for wonderful vacations for all of you!!! :banana::banana::banana:
 
I am having SUCH a hard time settling on a resort choice!!! (and I have 8 months to go!!!!)

My reservations have gone from BC-YC GV-POLY-BWI in the matter of a week and a half!!! I've lost my mind!

And, my kids just keep saying WL!!! DH wouldn't argue with WL, but also agrees that we should try something new...we all loved WL soooo much... :love:

What's a girl to do????? What would you do?? Where will Mousemommy's family stay this trip???
