Snow-Wigd and the Christmas Elves, a December pre-trip!

[wigdoutdismom]

So festive in your excitement these days, wigd!

Or, for the next few weeks, maybe I should change that to w i g d?

Have a Fantabulous Friday at school and a great weekend with all of your bargain hunting. The clothes you got Harper - cute and very wise to buy ahead. I used to do the same for my kids when they were little. It's fun to get something for a small fraction of the price.

My girls will be here tonight, so the day can't go fast enough for me. I talked to Jill and Brooklynn last night just before the Math Festival, and they had just gotten your package. Brooklynn was beside herself with all of her treasures! Jill couldn't believe it. Brooklynn will be sending you a personal thank you in the mail.

I think I like that W I G D! I'm surly getting very excited for our upcoming trip. I think that's what happens when it's a whole six months between trips, you get a bit giddy.....

I'm glad Brooklynn was happy with her package! I wonder how long it's going to take her to get into those fingernails.....
Have fun with your girls! I'm sure Bella is ready to clean off any surface she can get herself to!

YAY! Happy mail came from DME today!
So much better than the unhappy mail that you find hanging on your door...

 

[IluvXU]

Disney mail... is there anything better! You are really so close, it will be so much fun.

Another hijack moment....

We made changes today.... I need to change my ticker! We point splurged and went for a 1 bedroom for our Vero days... so we are actually headed to Vero Beach June 13 for a 1 bedroom for five nights..... then to WDW ???? (they do have Beach Club available at this point for the weekend... so the waiting begins)

I tell you I called 3 times this morning before finally changing... they are going to blacklist me soon!

So Jackie it looks like we will be at WDW now on the 18, 19, 20,

I just really thought 10 or 11 nights gone was just insane in a studio with five of us. (Plus the full kitchen and washer and dryer sound heavenly!

Just let me tell you, that 1br is going to spoil you!
It is heaven on earth!
That full kitchen (even if you don't cook a thing), the washer and dryer and an amazing bathroom will ruin you for a studio!
I'm so excited for you Laura!

YOU are not kidding, WigD!!! We have a studio at BLT this summer for part of our trip, and well... I am going to miss being spoiled!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

That's just what I was thinking!
I'm sorry that I'm going to miss out on seeing you all this summer!
I wish I could just stay all of June and July!

Well, it's still better than not being there at all! Where are you going to be after BLT?
Right now Marc and I have a studio booked for our July stay at Kidani, I'm waiting until we get our new points situated (if we pass ROFR) then we may upgrade to a 1br. It does seem a little decadent for just the two of us though.

Oh I agree!! I'd sleep in a crackerbox! Well, we don't know yet.... My DH is thinking at Poly or Boardwalk ... we want to pick something we have never experienced before... So that was a thought, I was thinking maybe Coronado Springs or Poly -- we need to take advantage of the AP discount. Have not booked anything yet... might, just to get it in place, and then go from there.... I am taking a look at all the pics, so I can decide...
You wouldn't need a 1 bedroom if it is just the two of you, I wouldn't think--- BUT it is your birthday!!! I am so glad you are going for the 4th -- it truly was amazing.

You know, it's just that spoiled thing, I love having the full fridge and freezer, washer and dryer and the jacuzzi tub....
If we end up in a studio it will be cozy and nice. Did I mention it's a savannah view?

That is going to be amazing. While we were at Sanaa -- both times -- I commented to my DH that it looks so nice to be there, right on the savannah like that, b/c the Giraffes in particular seem brave enough to get relatively close to the buildings! You are going to have a great view!

I would be so tickled if I could get some photos with the giraffes in the background... or maybe with the giraffes visiting us!
Of course I'm hoping for that on both of our Kidani stays.

Oh that is right!! I somehow missed you were at Kidani both times -- Harper is going to love love the animals... it is really neat. I was blown away by how close they were... very cool

Yep, two Kidani with a Beach Club in the middle.

Sounds like a great sandwich to me!

Just got back from a pin lot shopping trip to ebay. Baylor needs his trading pins. I can't wait to see what we end up with!

I am hoping in 2011 we can get there earlier in June... and meet up.

I was thinking that yesterday when it was looking like WDW the Vero... that I would miss you. We should be at WDW that weekend, at least for Friday and Saturday (and probably Sunday since it is point cheap)

Just let me tell you, that 1br is going to spoil you!

We are maxed out of 1 bedroom soon, so the spoiling factor is somewhat null. We just took the plunge this summer. I cannot imagine 11 nights in a studio with three kids. This way we can put the kids to bed and still be alive, especially luke. Plus making simple dinners at Vero would be nice, I think the food options are pretty limited in terms of it is by nothing. We can rough it at WDW!

I think you made a wise decision. Eleven days in a studio would have been very cramped. The beach is going to be so much fun! Nothing like a little sand in the pants!

I just spent the evening reading all about Vero Beach (my kids will be worn out there are tons of activities)....and come Wed I can firm up the last few nights at WDW. I think the seven month window made me feel like a kid in a candy store!
