How was your day??

& can u fax us that nice weather up north a bit?:goodvibes

Gonna get just a weeeeee bit on the nippy side up here in Dallas:eek:.

T.T.F.N.

My day was awesome...if you ignore the part with the crazy bus driver who managed to get lost. We were only driving about three miles down one road!

Your cold front came through here last night. I guess it wasn't too cold though, since it still feels like eighty outside.

Have a great day everyone. I am working this afternoon so I'm off...:)
 
Good afternoon all :)

Kids are happily watching the Tangled DVD that the DMC delivered today and I'm happy to announce that my offer on a DVC contract was accepted today :lovestruc So, my July plans for travel will probably be changing and I'll have to decide when to go instead. We might even get APs and go a few time :)

Congratulations! I am so excited for you! Which resort are you buying points at? I am still debating buying DVC in my mind. Picking a "home" is one of the hardest parts for me...right now I'm debating btw Boardwalk and Beach Club...:cheer2:

Its a tiny (25 point) contract at OKW, so I won't be using my points for extra trips, lol, but it gets my foot in the door. We are very flexible on when we can travel, so I'm not too worried about where my home resort is. I figure that as long as they keep up the $100 per year AP discount for a purchase and renewal the contract will basically pay for itself after just 2 trips. Currently, MFs are less than $10.50 a month, as well :)

That sounds great! All the posts I've read about OKW make it sound sooo relaxing...:dance3:

Very nice, congratulations! The AP will come in handy. I have BW and love it. Next trip I am splitting my stay between BLT and AKL, so OKW will be the only DVC resort I have not stayed at.
 
Oh, so it's someone else who gave you phone troubles. :rotfl: Sounds like this person could give you a new phone after the trouble he's put you through. :D I jest, of course.

To be fair, though, I texted to him as much as he to me. . .so I can't really charge him for a new phone. . .in fact, I probably texted more. . .I have a tendency to do that.

:confused3 the way I see it, the people taking up 6/7 of the memory should supply the new phone..

besides I'm a Pyrate, as the saying goes.. " Take everything, give nothing back "

There is about 200 other people taking up the rest of the memory. It would be EXTREMELY difficult to collect. . .oh wait, I could just have them all send me a dollar. I could buy my new 4G phone that way. . .lol.

It's better to be a Pyrate than Pyrite. Pretty to look at, but pretty much worthless. ;)

Hello there Kenn, how have you been?

An AP pays for itself sooooo fast. I am on my 3rd WDW ap. When I was traveling it paid for itself by the end of the second trip (what with ap discounts on rooms and the cost of multi-day park hoppers). Now I get Florida Resident discount on the pass and go whenever the mood strikes. . .

Congrats on your purchase.

Buy where you can get it cheap. Use a resaler like The Timeshare Store and start small. You can build on your contract later and getting rooms is really not all that difficult. Though some resorts do fill up for special occasions (i.e.; food and wine, flower and garden, Star Wars Weekends and all holidays). You will find that getting your choice resort is never really an issue. . .lol.

You do know that AKV Jambo House is my ultimate favorite resort. I love it there. Sooooooo peaceful, tranquil and relaxing.

Hah! Well yesterday's high temp was 92...today's was 75! Florida is fun!

Brad, you forgot to mention that its been raining ALL DAY. . .yes folks, not a typical Florida rain, but raining all day.
 
So I actually have 2 days off starting at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning (I am on call till then). I am going to do a bit of cleaning in the morning, but ya know, I would like to get out of the house. HOWEVER, the weather is not cooperating. It is supposed to rain for the next 5 days. . .go figure. . .lol.

Okay. Jealous of your kids as I've got a coupon for the Tangled DVD 4-pack, so it's the closest to having the movie tonight.:sad2: Can't wait for tomorrow! And I'm rather envious of you as I certainly wouldn't mind a DVC contract myself. Wish I could afford one at this time, though.

Someday...:goodvibes

I was excited over this one as the kids, lol, since I'd never seen Tangled and XH raved about how great it was. I'm very excited over the DVC, but I'm not exactly throwing around a huge amount of cash; including closing costs and 2011 maint fees its less than $1800 (I made a full price offer because they were only asking $52 a point which is awesome for a 25 point contract) :) Besides the $100 a year AP discount (x4 since there are 4 of us), one of the things that I'm excited about is that I can transfer points in instead of renting them, so I can add dining as I wish. *If* I can get in to an AKL value studio, for most trips it is cheaper to rent points than it is to get free dining at pop, for my family, but segmenting to add dining the way I'd like with rental points would be a huge headache, so being able to handle it all myself rocks. That may change a bit in 2 years when I have another disney adult in the family, but by then we should be heading out of the need to do so many character meals, so we can look at other options. Additionally, I'll be eligible to add on directly through DVC in small quantities, if I ever wanted to make sure I got in on the stuff they took away in the March 21st change.
 
Rain for 5 days? When did you move up to my neck of the woods? Oh wait, we still have 5 months of rain to go... Never mind

When I was stationed in England we had friends who had transferred from the Bremerton WA/Pacific NorthWET area who would joke about the rain/weather in England. They said sometimes it was like they never moved, except people drive on the opposite side of the road and have a different accent. We've been lucky here that the rain seems to have slacked off for a few days, so the river is going back down and no longer threatening to enter people's houses...

Congrats and Welcome Home! I am a new DVC owner myself at Bay Lake Tower.

I hate when the weather doesn't cooperate with days off from work, nevertheless I'm sure you'll make the best of it.

TY :) I'm excited about all the possibilities, but I may have to get a 2nd job (or a real one, lol) to pay for all the trips I want to take :rotfl: I'm going to a big homeschool convention on Friday and am supposed to be buying all my books for next year....I find myself thinking that maybe we don't need a few of the things on my list, especially the expensive ones ;) (if I wait a year on this, that's 3 more days at Disney....)

This is what I did. I'd stay at OKW if I needed to, but AKL is my main target (I have 3 animal loving kids) with BC (Stormalong Bay anyone) or several other resorts on the list ahead of OKW. But, for $52 a point for such a small contract, I was thrilled. I'm more concerned with being *at* Disney than with where we will stay :)
 
So I came into work tonight, and discover that starting tomorrow i'm going to be moving back to my daytime 2nd shift.

Seems that because of several different problems we've run into lately, the project I'm working on overnight is on hold, and they need the extra manpower during the day to work on troubleshooting and cleaning up the fallout of another big issue.

Hurray! 24hrs to flip my schedule by 12 hours. This is gonna be fun. :rotfl:

Hmmmm..... As an ex-homeschooled kid myself, I say skip the books, and go to Disney. You can use the World Showcase as your World History and Geography classes..... Futureworld as your Sciences classroom (Not as good as it was 20 years ago since a lot of the actual science of futureworld has been replaced by Soarin and Nemo.... but it's still got some good gems).

Um.... Animal Kingdom for your Enviromental studies classroom....

Magic Kingdom can be used for American History (Frontierland / Liberty Square).....

And I'm sure we can fudge MGM to be a general Cultural classroom.... Ooo.... and Film History (Great Movie Ride)!

Wonder if this means you could write off the Disney trip as an educational expense?

There is a part of me that would love to buy into DVC.... but somehow I can't quite find myself able to justify the cost.


Either way.... It'd have to wait until after i'm done paying off my Wyndham purchase.

I love England...I wanna go back there someday. One of my favorite pictures I took is from there. This was taken on my first night there....

Kenn, its funny. When I lived in Seattle, people used to ask me how I could stand living where it rained so much. I remember that on rare occasions I needed an umbrella. It didn't downpour like it does in California - at least not very often, just light rain. I just wore a jacket with a hood most days.

I hate when the weather doesn't cooperate with days off from work, nevertheless I'm sure you'll make the best of it.

You know it, though Brad (Floydian) just texted me and said he is going to rope drop. Might have to consider that. Gotta do a bit of cleaning first but its tempting.
