holy cow, $405/night. I'd go for a cheaper room, too. I'd probably learn to camp for one night to save money with those rates!!
My trip to visit family has been pretty nice. In my mom's typical way, she ignored what she didn't want to hear, which is too bad. Sort of. DH and I really wanted to go to my parents vacation cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire. We told Mom this. Mom did not tell Dad, therefore Dad made no time off arrangements. So, no NH trip for us. :-/ NH will definitely outlast my parents so we stay in town, while Dad works all day.
My brother and his wife have two of the hot dog dogs. The oldest one, the boy, senses and follows around the oldest female. So that was me for a couple of days. Unfortunately, I'm a cat person, so the constant whining for attention by the dog got a little old.
Of course, my parents cat has apparently decided that I'm also worthy of the same treatment. I gotta say, my aloof kitties are so much easier to deal with.
My friend and I were finally able to make the final payment for our September trip. Wouldn't you know, we ran into some issues with THAT. Our TA was in (go figure!) Disney World, but checking email. Unfortunately, our payment deadline was her birthday. So she didn't even check her email until after the final payment date. We kept calling the main line and leaving messages to find out what was going on but NO ONE would call back. I got to the point where I had to leave a mean message before anyone would call us back.
Oh well, all's well that ends well. Forty-three days!
We are having a great time ut at my DH's sister's farm! Lots of fun! The girls are having a blast! It's a grain farm, so no animals but lots of fun with their cousins whom they only get to see 1-2x a year! 
We'll be home late Sunday night so I will check in Monday am! Hugs to all! 
... I ended up chosing Pop. 
for Bellasoleil!!!!! I know it seems to get more expensive for Disney everyyear!!!!!!! I don't know if we will go back next year. Mike is such a Deluxe snob
.... I would love to stay at the AS Suites...we may have to do that next time or just skip it. I have 2 kids on the ddp that are considered adult...which I think is soooo stupid that kids 10 and up are adults at Disney. 12 maybe, but 10? GEEZ!!!!
Gotta pay for Disney somehow though!
