Yeah, I did some more research, and for the money I'm not gonna sweat it. I DO NOT have to do any timeshare hijinx so I'll test the waters. I will take pics and report back.

The weather actually looks pretty decent while we're there. The hurricane is gonna swing wide enough out (at this point) that I think we'll be OK. I know the FL weather extremely well so I know what to expect going in. The first timers we're going with are freaking out a bit. Right now the first big chance of crappy weather is our last day in the parks (Wednesday...aka Fantasmic night). Hopefully that all works out for them. They are actually running it every night in September which surprised me based on the very limited schedule it normally runs on.

It will be a good time either way....rain at Disney still beats rain at work.

arrgh, the waters be full of timeshare sharks!!!

unplug the phone in your condo

Took me an hour & 3 phone calls (in guise of how we were enjoying our stay, did we need anything, did we want a tour of the resort) to figure that one out.

 

[macraven]

it is 9:45 and we have just hit 60 degrees.

i think the high today won't be much higher.



welcome to autumn.....


but when i hit O-town, summer will return in my life!

Trust me....we will not be spending any time at all in the room. But I will take your advice!! Thank you.

I wish, it's 91 degrees but feels like 100 degrees right now. Very humid.

We`re about the same as Macraven today......but with a howling gale that`s blown all the plums off my tree.........and the birds are having a field day!!!

Its funny, the one time I stayed at a time share place, I kept reading about how they would keep calling to get you to take a tour. I got one call, and they never bothered me again. Maybe they could tell I had no money. Maybe since I booked through Hotwire?

Unfortunately, with most TS you don't need much in way of money to buy-in, just need to meet stated income & age requirements, they check for a pulse & ready financing is rapidly produced.

Problem is the bottom feeders of the industry make it so easy to buy with nothing or little down that buyers aren't invested (similiar to the housing bubble collapse that made many realtors struggle) walk away and whole house of cards comes crashing down. Bonus points = most TS owners wind up unable to resell or give the interest back to developer. Despite walking the annual dues continue to haunt them until discharged in bankruptcy.

vent over thank you very much

Howdy from Tennessee! Haven't posted in a while, but I've been lurking. Hope everyone is well. The weather here has been odd. Close to 100 degrees this past Friday and Sat, then started raining and dropped to the high 50's and low 60's! Today was better though - almost 70. I'm definitely a warm weather person.

Can I share a joke that our middle school aged son told us? It's a "Your momma's so..." joke - I don't want it to offend anyone. But it's all in good fun and it's Harry Potter related. And we thought it was pretty funny. So, here it goes...

Your momma's so fat that the Sorting Hat assigned her to the House of Pancakes!

Ha! Ha! Hope everyone enjoys their upcoming trips to Orlando. We don't have any planned right now. Trying to do some house improvements and pay off some debt. Boo! See ya'll later!

 

[macraven]

i'm so glad you stopped by!

you need to come here more often.

that was a cute joke!
kids come up with the funny ones, don't they.


well, i can't say our weather has been like yours except for the cooler temps.

no 100 degrees or even near it where i live.


it's all down hill from here.
going in the high 40's tonight.

i packed away my shorts for my trip.

the way weather is in my parts, those shorts will be used only in orlando and next july..........

 

[macraven]

it is now 2:47 and i have insomnia again.

man, i hate when this happens.

i have to get up, that is if i do go back to bed soon, at 7:30.

taking the parental units out to breakfast and then all 3 of us have a doctor appointment.

good thing we all use the same ENT.



it's too late to take a swig from the bottle.
i would never wake up early then....

 

[macraven]

it's morning time.



ugh.

 

[Melanie230]

it's morning time.



ugh.

All day long. The puppy woke me up this morning at 5:30. So needless to say I will be hovering the coffee pot most of the day.

Hi All! Just a quick check-in. First to tell Janet that her grandbaby is super adorable (but I bet she knew that! ), and just share some pics of my own. It's been really busy here, but isn't it always? Yesterday was Stephen's first day of school at MIT and through the wonders of modern technology (and a "friend" from the MIT FB Parents' group who lives in the area), I got some pictures of him all dressed up for his first day of school (ROTC students wear their uniforms on Wednesdays conveniently!). Here's one of him:

Meanwhile, Royce and I met up with Matt out in Colorado for the Air Force Academy Parents Weekend last weekend - a few pictures of us with him, him in his uniform, and finally, us whitewater rafting (Royce is on the left in the front, then me in the middle and Matt on the right, looking at the pic!). Definitely cold (especially the water) but no one fell out. It was lots of fun, but I don't think I'd do it again unless it was like 90 degrees instead of the 65 it was at the time!

 

[keishashadow]

marci ur son looks sooo tall in that one pic, u must be so proud! yep, we're going to keep GD around . Just found out i volunteered to take her to some sort of musical program once a week and gymnastics anothershe's not walking so not sure how that's going to go. I'm just along for the ride.

mac dr day never fun w/parents, worse than taking kids. must've been something in the air last night, i didn't fall asleep until 4 am, then overslept & missed an appt this am

Ordered my SeaWorld e-tix (& free Aquatica day) online thru entertainment today. Can use either tix until end of '12, after tax came out to $85 pp. If anybody is interested I was able to do an end-run and just ordered 1 month online membership instead of forking out $35 for the book. Our local book is so lousy for some reason.

don't forget to kick it (garbage) to the curb tonight

 

[RAPstar]

I actually slept pretty well last night for once. Besides my normal wake up at 3-4am to go to the bathroom.

Marcie- great pics! The rafting looks fun!

 

[Melanie230]

GREAT PICS MARCIE!! I agree...your son looks 7ft tall in the one photo! WOW!! You are a proud mama!!!
