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

[wsushocker]

I'm so excited for our trip!
Addonitis is a sickness, I'm not sure they have found a cure either!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh you know, just trying to keep you all on your toes... HEY.... You are creating your own drama over here WigD!!!! TO Beach or not to Beach, THAT is the question.... Just like CP and her resort flip flopping!
So now I got to finally get this last page read, I am officially back in "real" DIS time!!!

Welcome back to "real" DIS time!
I tried to call member services this evening just to humor myself and they close so early...
I'll have to call by 4:30 our time...
Maybe tomorrowafter school,
or during plan time....

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Every time you make a comment like that you destroy a bit of the magic.....

Is it any surprise that we are watching "Mr. Grinch" right now?

 

[shannn]

We're watching Mr. Grinch too! Shhh, don't tell my kids' teachers that I'm letting them stay up late to watch Christmas specials tonight.

Well it sounds like Kidani is just wonderful, too, so regardless like you say, you will be in Disney, and what is not to be happy about with odds like that! It is finally starting to sink in, really, that we are going to be at Disney for Christmas.. watching the HGTV special did it!

 

[jordanyosh]

okay up to pg 55.

that wsushocker, whoever that may be, wants an obedient wife.

you passed the ROTR or whatever it's called. it has something to do with being approved for DVC I imagine.

You have many, many contracts some big, some small, some in different use years.

you became a D23 member and did some shopping.

as of pg 55, you have not received your freebies yet or did you?

Are you now watching "Shreck the Halls"?

I'm sure Kidani is just wonderful....
3 bathrooms, new, flat tvs, savannah view....
What's not to love?

I just don't know what I'll do if a 2br is available at Beach Club....
I really need to stick with Kidani.

okay up to pg 55.

Way to go Jordan! Almost to the end!

that wsushocker, whoever that may be, wants an obedient wife.

Well he can want in one hand.....

you passed the ROTR or whatever it's called. it has something to do with being approved for DVC I imagine.

That means that Disney didn't snatch up the contract we were trying to buy.

You have many, many contracts some big, some small, some in different use years.

Hmmmm, no comment on this, I'm sure Shocker will have one though.

you became a D23 member and did some shopping.

Yes I did!

as of pg 55, you have not received your freebies yet or did you?

As of today the only thing I have from D23 is the membership card, still waiting for the surprise!

 

[MeMom]

That scares me.
Very much.

We're watching Mr. Grinch too! Shhh, don't tell my kids' teachers that I'm letting them stay up late to watch Christmas specials tonight.

They'll probably tell on themselves.
My students do.
I had one tell me a couple of weeks ago on like Tuesday that she'd be out on Friday. I asked her why, and her answer was 'Because I'm sick'. Not sure where they were going on their long weekend, but I thought that was kind of cute.

Shrek?
That's those 'other people', isn't it?

Wherever you stay is going to be incredible.

Did we get a picture of that D23 card? I can't remember.
If it doesn't have too much information, that is. Or maybe you could cover that part up.

Those words can put damper on any party!

They just can't lie about stuff like that....
I have a student that just came back from Disney, she missed the two days before our Thanksgiving break.
They told the truth from day one.
They knew I'd understand....

Shrek?

It was Baylor watching that one...

Wherever you stay is going to be incredible.

I know it, why am I even doing this to myself?

I will take a picture, it's really a cute card!

I had a mini case of resortitis today when Disney told me they couldn't apply the 30% discount on my resort or dates....so I asked what was available. Oh pretty much every deluxe on property. OF COURSE. *Pout*

Bummer!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Bummer!

I'm feeling very disgruntled. I'm trying to be thankful that I can on a trip at all but I really don't want to stay at Pop and the fact that I'm paying full price for a preferred room that I don't want makes me cranky. Even the mods were all gone! I think the discount was just released today!

I tell you, it's going to come down to the wire on our closing with the new points.....
Don't give up hope, our loss could be your gain....
or
Our cloud, could be your silver lining....
or
The fact that we might not be able to use those points might be your deluxe stay.

I try not to think about it because I don't want to send out negative vibes to your closing date.

I just wish I could get a discount on Pop, I would feel better about it. I asked about AP discounts and then realized I'm arriving the night before Jen so that doesn't even work for me.

As much as I hope we get to use those points, it would make me feel really good to put you and Jen in a DVC unit...

The main thing is that those points to go to waste!!!

Well it would make us feel really good too. But like I said, I refuse to put negative energy out there for your closing date.

Yes, that is a crime if DVC points go to waste. That is like using an AP for only one trip, or buying the park hopper option and not using it or like skipping a Le Cellier ADR.

Hmmmmm, and we don't know anyone that would do any of those things do we?!?

Just catching up....sounds like the planning is going well. Hard, hard decision if the 2 bedroom is available. Can't wait to see what happens.

I just imagine that we will end up keeping our 2br at Kidani....
Which would work well with our early morning ADR at Tusker House....
I'm not sure we would make it if we were able to and switched to Beach Club.

and those 3 bathrooms.....

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Since MeMom asked.....
Here's a picture of my D23 card.
Plus a few others that I snapped this evening.

Here are the Christmas Elves that will be visiting the 2nd grade.....

Elvis and Izzy

I decorated the mantle with a few snowmen and my Jim Shore Christmas pieces. Very different from my normal mantle decorations, but I like it!

Left the usual Christmas tree in it's box in the basement and brought up Grandma's aluminum tree...
It will come down either before we leave or as soon as we get back.
Waiting for more ornaments to arrive, I'll take another picture as it fills up.

It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas!
