Welcome back! Glad you got the internet ban worked out at work.

 

[princess_momma]

Welcome back, Kimmy! Cool that you were able to get your banned internet sites lifted. And neat that you got to meet some of your Broncos players.

How awesome does that new phone sound? Pretty awesome! Even better that a cute store clerk sold it to you.

Hey!! Thanks!! I'll have pictures of stuff up soon, too!!

My phone is awesome!! Have you seen the commercial where it tooks about having all your stuff together in one place on the phone and it has all these people running towards a guy and then it says like you can have it focus on just one when you need and everyone disappears except him and a girl? Its that phone.

Oh and I found that cute guy on facebook and was wondering if it'd be weird or creepy if I friended him. lol

Welcome back, Kimmy!! Glad you got the ban on DIS lifted. I have absolutely no idea what I would do if they blocked the DIS here!! Scary thought!

Thanks! Luckily you could say its for work!!

Welcome back Kimmy!!!

Thanks!!

Yay, you're back Kimmy

What a cool new phone! We have t-mobile too and I have the Samsung Comeback, I got it this summer and I love it. Best part is, it's purple and white Not to mention the full keyboard to fill my texting needs

Oh your phone sounds so cute!! I love purple. Full keyboards are definitely necessary!! I average like 7000 texts a month. Sometimes more!

Hmmm, I might have to go back into the store and buy an attachment for my phone or ask a question about my phone or something. Strike up a convo and ask if he's on FB. Then say, maybe I'll send you a friend request!

That's what I was thinking!! Because I DO need to go back because I wanted to buy a car charger but they were out when I was there! Of course, I'd have to make sure I deleted an old post on my fb if I did end up asking him if was on it, because I mentioned the hot guy at the tmobile store when I was posting about my new phone!!

Who knows? It might be a match made in heaven. You can tell your kids, guess how mommy and daddy met? Mommy stalked me at the T-Mobile store and put comments about me on FB.

And then your kids will ask, "What's FaceBook?"

Hahaha because something so much cooler will have replaced it by then!!

[lauren_elizabeth]

Yayyy! I can finally start reading your trip report again!

 

[princess_momma]

Okay, so I am just researching, researching, researching for our trip next December!! Right now, the resort is COMPLETELY up in the air. We haven't even decided if we want to go value, mod, or deluxe yet!

I'm thinking if we go with value, we're going to go with Pop again. We all just loved it.

With mod, we would probably do Coronado Springs. Their pool is not only amazing, but their playground blows even the deluxe playgrounds out of the water! And while playgrounds weren't important this year, they probably will be by next December! I also think my parents may be interested in a cabin at Fort Wilderness.

If we do go with Deluxe, its completely up in the air. They are all so great. I think our favorites are the Beach and Yacht Clubs, the Boardwalk, the Contemporary, and Wilderness Lodge. So, who knows?!

I think we may be leaning away from values because we would like some more room and also double sinks would be very nice!! It was so cluttered and all smashed into one place in Pop! But then again, the time we are wanting to spend at Pop PLUS deluxe dining costs LESS than staying in a deluxe, with no dining at all. So we will see. I also have to do research on codes they may have and/or renting DVC or something to drive the cost down.

As for dining, yesterday I was super bored at work and so I went through menus of all the restaurants I wanted and calculated what it would cost if we were to get everything the deluxe covers and all I did was meals, I didn't even account for the 2 snacks per person per day, and it was MORE than DOUBLE the cost of the DlxDP! But then I realized that if we weren't on the dining plan, we probably wouldn't eat like that. So I calculated as if we each would just get one entree and a dessert to split. Since a lot of places have fixed prices (all buffets and the luau, for example) the DlxDP cost about $300 more than if we were paying OOP and not getting everything it covered. So we talked and we all think it is a better deal to get the dining plan, since we seldom agree on desserts and liked being able to try new foods and really just liked not having to really even think about costs of food while we were gone. (Oh and PS I was bored enough that I also calculated the tips in and also added that to the DlxDP since its not included. I like to consider myself thorough! )

I've also been contemplating going on a trip without my parents before then. I just don't know when to go. So I'm going to go research that now!! (*cough*lauren_elizabeth*cough). Maybe I want to do a cruise though...Off to research! Wait, actually put this guy in front of a computer hahaha thats more like it!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

December at Disney IS THE BEST! Seriously. The Christmas decorations are absolutely amazing at the parks and resorts and everything just seems extra magical - if that's even possible!

We totally love Pop, too! Definitely my favorite value as well!

I've never been over to Coronado Springs, but when you mentioned the playground I had to go look it up and you're right - it's awesome! So is the pool!

If yall do deluxe, I say WILDERNESS LODGE. Especially at Christmas time. That whole cabin feel makes it so cozy. (Same with the Ft Wilderness Lodge cabins!)

I'm so hungry now reading about the dining plan! Hahahaha.

And girl, after you research let me know what you decide/come up with! A cruise would be SO MUCH FUN! I totally forgot about the Disney Cruises! Ahhhhh, this is making me want to go right now!

... off to do my own research! Haha!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

i will have a bunch of pics at FW for you too look at and take some of the cabins, it is a really fun place to stay

there are alot of activities for your little guy.

he would love the chip and dale sing along at night time.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

You know my vote is Wilderness Lodge! But I've only stayed Saratoga Springs other than that, so I can't speak for the other resorts. But the Wilderness is so CHristmasy! I am still blown away by it, three-to four weeks later...

 

[stacikristine]

Yay! I'm so glad your internet is back up at work. I know you were going insane without it!!! All of your research looks great--I'm sure whatever you decide will be awesome!!

I still want to see pics of your purse...and from today/this week!

I don't think I told you, but I got a new phone too--it's SO great to not have a crap phone.

Have an INCREDIBLE Christmas!!!

I can only imagine how much more magical it is during Christmastime! I can't wait to see it for myself in person! I just have a feeling that pictures don't do it justice!

I'll definitely keep you updated on the whole resort fiasco. Its so hard because you really can't go wrong staying on property!!

Okay, so I'll message you more later, but I'm like 90% sure I'm going to book a cruise for April. I have a best friend who lives in Dallas and both of our birthdays are in April so we are wanting to just go on a birthday cruise together! That's what I'm leaning towards!!

Thanks, I am looking forward to seeing them!! I forgot all about the Chip and Dale sing along! You're right, Landon would LOVE that. He goes crazy for music!

I knew you would say WL...that's definitely my vote. I'm sure I would instantly fall in love with it!!

Thanks!! You are right, it's so great to have internet back!! I'm getting so much research done!

Depending on when I get home tonight, I will try to remember to upload the pictures on my photobucket so I can put them on here! I keep forgetting. I should have time tonight though.

Ooooh what kind of phone did you get? Isn't it so fun to have a really nice phone? I love it!!

I hope you have an amazing Christmas too!!

 

[jenny105]

I vote WL! It's gorgeous and I can only imagine how much more gorgeous it will be during Christmas time. Plus it's at the lower end of the spectrum price wise for the deluxe resorts. Ooh, ooh, can I book your trip for you?? I will gladly run some quotes! I have nothing to do tomorrow! lol

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Nice research!
I think you should do WL
after seeing beautiful pics of WL at Christmas, I think it's amazing!

That's awesome! A cruise sounds like an absolute blast! Definitely a fun thing to do for your birthday!

Oh I know. I'm in love with it. If you want to, you can run some quotes. We aren't ready to book just yet though. I will go through you though when we are ready!! If you want though, you can help me with what I'm going to post in my next post! (Or do you just do Disney? I can't remember but I don't think so!)

Nice research!

Thanks, I completely agree.

That's awesome! A cruise sounds like an absolute blast! Definitely a fun thing to do for your birthday!

So it has been decided we are definitely going to do it. I'm about to post more details about that. And you can email me if you want even more details down the road!
