I voted for you!!! I think it ends today before noon, so everyone try to vote for her!

Did the first one take place at Old Key West?? How were the nights after that??

No, it was at Pop Century. We stayed there one night and then moved over to POR. The truth is - at the end I did not drive her around - she never even fell asleep, I just felt like I had to wrap it up. Although me driving her around and bringing her back in the house, car seat and all - I have done, just not that night. We made her stay up all day while we were in the parks and went back to the hotel at about 8pm and she went right to sleep. We couldn't believe it because she really didn't even try to take a nap. How can at 1 1/2 - almost 2 at the time, stay up so long?

I have another story I did not submit where we went camping with my parents and she would not sleep. I took her outside so she would not keep everyone awake. I could not get back in the camper - or at least felt I couldn't because my parents gave us their bedroom and they were sleeping on the sofa, which was right in front of the door. She had already kept them up until about 2. So I went outside at about 2am, put her in the stroller. We walked to the beach and sat for a while, but it go too windy, so then I had to wait outside the camper until about 6 am. Thank goodness my dad put up a hammock! She never fell asleep until that evening.

Thank you for whoever voted for my story/stories! This round of Voting is almost over and I was hoping to get in the top 10. Not necessary to do anymore voting!

Thanks again!

It says there is no such user.

 

[DisneyJo]

I think I tried with and without, but if it is case sensitive that would do it. I will try that, thanks!

Soooooo
yesterday I broke down, called reservations and booked the six of us for a 9 day, Free DDP, hopper, water & more EXTRAVAGANZA (subscription to TGM still pending, no ADRS yet but lists have been made and I spent a lot of last night lying in bed thinking "Sure I've read lots of bad reviews but should we just give Coral Reef a chance?"

Soooooo
what's the big whoop de do and why does it call for such a long boring post, you may ask?

BECAUSE! i haven't yet told my husband...

who thinks we shouldn't even be saving our money for a Mexican vacation NEXT year, and should instead be applying that money to our debt (Of course he's right but Fuzziness seems to prevail in my lil' ol brain! Math is hard for girls! (just kidding - I used to be a math teacher!!!).

BUT then I start to rationalize - the price of 6 tickets to an all-inclusive is probably going to be MORE than a Sept. trip with free dining ( I know we could stay in another beautiful, less costly resort but can I tell you how much we LOVED the POLY? and remember my poor mother's lifelong dream???

Hey, For some reason I can't post smilies. There would otherwise be a boatload of em' in this post. They are pretty useful eh?)
I feel like this is a pre-trip report. But it's a scary thing to put one out there hey? I have great admiration for you trippers!

Did I also mention that when I casually broached the subject with DH about going on a trip to WDW in Sept. with Free DDP rather than Mexico he actually said "Hmmmmm" in a thoughtful, interested, contemplative way?
Although in the next conversation when I also commented that we might need to rebuild our back deck his comment was "are you nuts?" I should probably be more choosy about when to bring up such delicate subjects.

For those of you still with me who can't WAIT to offer their advice, support, criticism, here are some other deets:

*My husband is from Guatemala, therefore latino, therefore a Mexican holiday was not a big thing on his must do vacation list in the first place (score one for Disney!)

*My daughter is starting kindergarten this Sept. and while the trip I booked isn't until the 21st til 30th and she will have been in school for 3 whole weeks, I still feel kindof funny taking her out. She is now in preschool so she "gets it" but still...

*my parents might just freak out about a paid for trip so much that they might just say no outright. Like "we couldn't possibly!" "Sept is no time for a vacation" "How can YOU afford it?" "we couldn't possibly!". It would take some convincing to get them to accept it as a gift - difficult, but not impossible, especially since my mom doesn't get that it is fully cancellable. I'd just explain it was a done deal~! We have even talked about a potential trip for NEXT Sept but that just seems so far away!

*I WILL have enough money saved by Sept for everything about the vacation but the airfare. We all have airmiles we could use, if I could convince everyone to use them. For some reason, my family hoards airmiles like they will be worth so much more if you invest them? If I can't convince them, I can pay them off within a few months and don't forget my Expedia obsession!

Lisa, my dear, you need no assistance at all - You've got it totally Fuzzyed out! I couldn't have rationalized any better myself And the most important part is this...

BUT WE'RE GOING TO WDW!!!!

WOOOO HOOOTY!!!!!
I'm so, so excited for you! I just knew you'd make it back before 2 years passed!
Now, what will it take to get you to write a trippy for this? Chocoloate? Skittles? Cheetos? you name it, I'm on it!


HEY, does everyone know that this is THE Lisa? As in, the woman we have to thank for making this whole Focker thing happen in the first place? A somewhat dubious honor in other circles perhaps, but around here, she's royalty!

OK, I wanna join all the fun. I have purchased lime green luggage tags from Target and had my husbad appropraite some LGMH from Home Depot.

He just shakes his head at me and says yes dear , when I know in the back of his mind (and on speed dial on the cell phone) he is calling the guys in the white coats )

I am going to try and get some lime green lanyards(*MickeyFan* I will be PMing shortly) and all the while DH says I AM NOT wearing lime green and neither is DS, it's a GIRLY color

So, if anyone is in the promised land from August 14th to the 24th (Pop Century, ) and you see me (with DH and DS NOT in lime green) say hi - if nothing else, so I can show DH that you are all REAL PEOPLE.

Awwww V!! I feel honored to have the first post from you (on this thread at least - I know you all are running rampant all over these boards!!!) directed to me and my sappy sad sack saga. I really deserve none of the "royalties" from TFW gang as everyone here took things farther than I could have imagined. So glad you are back!!!, and now I will go over to your thread to find out how it all went!

As for a pre-trippie, I guess I couldn't put myself out there much more than I already did here? Has anyone else felt that nauseous cold-sweaty feeling when you realize you have pored out some very personal blather to almost complete strangers, and you've sent it into cyber space for anyone to google for eternity????!!!!!

uhm...I also wish I had a tag now...
