I'm off to read Shelly's reports!
Have a Happy Disney Day, Birdies!
Great reviews, Shelly! So happy you got the rooms you wanted.
We'll be thinking of you and DH tomorrow!!!
Most of the little kiddies are just precious, so it always puts a smile on my face...love, love , love to hear them each recite a Bible verse...cracks me up when they get the words mixed up or cant pronounce them--this Wed night the tough words were Earth, and Genesis...Earth was Erf and Genesis was hilarious...one kid kept saying Genesess-is
But,still no room only code
goooootta have that cuz guess what.....we don't qualify for the FD package!!! It starts on Sat after we arrive on Fri. and if we change it to Sat for arrival to get it, we lose the Theme park view in our CR room-have to do Bay Lake View...which, i am thinking, heck, if I am gonna do that I might as well go to the Garden wing and save $115 a night!!! But,..the upside was this...got a really sweet CM and told her what our deal was and that our payment is due in 3 weeks and we sure dont want to have to cancel...she suggested that I wait and see what happens in the next week or so. She said they always (or most usually) offer FD followed by a RO deal. She told me the latest one that 's ever been released that she knows of is Oct 1. Which if that's the case I will have to pay rack rate, then be reimbursed. Which is fine I guess, but I sure hate that. She also said they should be releasing a new batch of pins soon I would looooove to get a good one in the mail!!! She said she noticed that for Oct-Nov, they haven't really released any thing other than FD--no room codes and not much PIN-wise, so we'll see...holding out for some Disney
...they need to get it in gear!! I don't want to wait anymore!
Hey girlies!! Well...hows it goin? My work week *2 days* ended up being 4 days this week...have had to go into our banking system and files and catch a lot of stuff up to date...blah, blah, blah! Drive my ds15 to and from his job several days this week...Wed night I helped in our 3&4 yo's class at church *only once a month*, but it always seems like my longest Wednesday ever when it's my turn!!
Tues my dd started her evening jazz class-first time for jazz, and Thurs was her first one hour ballet!! We use to have 45 minutes...but no more! She loved it...she is up to level 3!! I don't know if all ballet studios used the same level base or what, but this is pre-pointe...we are happy with the move up..she's soooo ready.
We are 9 weeks from our vacation today

My entire extended family was there!!! My crazy aunt was trying to make us all sit together at the CBR food court and she was pushing tables together while the CM's were asking her not to. It was such a weird dream. The funny part is that it's not far from how my aunt is in real life. 
Poor DH was not having a good time and I was almost in tears I was so frustrated. Good thing it was only a dream! 
I woke up relieved that we are going as just out family with no headaches 
where is everybody? We have all been busy I guess!! I am sitting at my table looking at 2 big ole sweet gum trees in the yard behind me...they are turning!!!!! It's still hot here*up into the 90s* this week,but it's still feeling much better than this summer! Whew!! Glad to see the end of those triple digits!! I guess maybe I should check into coming in a day earlier, just for FD!! I don't know if dh would appreciate that logic or not..I am always up for an extra day!!! And I know the kids would be!! I mean, if they are NOT gonna offer a room discount, I would be crazy not to spend a couple of hundred more for one night, but get all our food for free...right? who knows...I may call back today when i get to the office and see...maybe there is a little disney magic in my mailbox...havent checked it in a day or two,...I feel reaaaally tempted every couple of days to see if there's any in there...but then when I go and it's not it is kinda disappointing! LOL....
I know we prefer a room discount over FD. After not having the DDP last year and then having it this time (for part of the trip) we are sure now that we just don't care for the DDP. It's just a pain to us!
What would the savings be if you spent the few extra on another night? I think that would play into the equation. For us, FD would be worth it.
If it comes down to FD by going one extra night I am all over it!! I even thought about asking DH if he would consider splitting our stay with the first half at the all star family suites..then ending at the Cont. We havent got to talk about it today or yesterday...which was giving Disney more time to publish a code or pin!!!!!! What is taking so long?!!!I don't know....an extra day at Disney...could you handle it?
Hello everyone!! How are you? Is everybody getting back into the swing of things at school now?
Life has been insane here the past few weeks. I started at the bakery, and my other job at the store too. I apparently had a weakness and can't say "no" to anyone. So I agreed to stay for an extra "week" to help them get through a transition time while 4 employees went back to school and 4 new ones started. So I worked on training and helping them keep things flowing since there were a lot of things that needed to change within a few weeks time frame. I had a few days that I was in at the bakery at 6am done at 2pm, then to the store after that until 9:30pm. Needless to say, I was tired.
So finally this week just one job. It too wasn't without it's stress. Monday I was informed that I might not get my time off for Disney in Dec. Which I was told when I interviewed that I would have it off because I was up front about needing it. However since being the low man on the totem pole, someone else needs a couple of those days off. I very politely explained that I would not be here Dec 2-10 whether they give me the time off or not. Today the manager finally gave me the "aproved time off".
So hopefully things will start to calm down a little. That I belive is wishful thinking however.
Hope everyone is doing well.
I have spent the better part of yesterday and today getting all my trip pics in order and will start uploading to Photobucket maybe tonight! Look for a link to a TR by Monday!
