The Darling Family June Beach Club Trip:Hugging Ewoks and Finding Peter Pan

Thank you so much for the info! It gives me a lot to think about.
I wish we were going to Disney this summer.
One of my friends is there now and another is leaving on Sunday to go to Disney.
 
I'm so sad to see your trip report come to an end. Yours is officially the first TR I have stuck with ;)

I am SO GLAD your pictures were recovered! What a nightmare...I would have been hysterical. Once I realized your pictures were fine I did smile a bit that your husband ran to find you expecting blood......

It seems as though you had such a great trip and I'm so envious that you will be traveling back in January! Good luck with the half! I "run" those, too, though not yet at WDW. I have to say, the only full marathon I am interested in considering is the Disney Marathon. If I'm going to train that hard and run that far, then I want someplace AMAZING to surround me! GOOD LUCK!

And a Disney cruise for Wendy -- lucky girl! How exciting. And so much fun that you will get a boys' trip.

Can't wait for your next trip report; maybe I will have to report our upcoming trip. You've inspired me! :)

Your family IS darling -- lots of fun to read about your great trip!

I too am sad to see your report has come to an end!!!! You did a fabulously wonderful job writing your TR and I enjoyed every moment!!! Good Luck with the half marathon!!!

I feel honored that you stuck with me the whole way! You must be a truly discriminating trip report reader;) My January trip is going to be real quick. We're only staying 2 nights and will probably only visit the MK, but it's Disney so I'm just happy to be going. You should definitely try a Disney race sometime. They are so much fun. I agree with you about the only whole marathon I ever want to do is the Disney. And mostly that is because I get to run thru all 4 parks instead of just 2 in the half and I think the medal is really cool. (Disney races have the best medals:goodvibes) I hope you do report your upcoming trip. Make sure to let me know if you do. Have a fabulous time on your trip and thanks for reading.:goodvibes

Are you going to do a report? I'd love to hear about your trip. If you do make sure to let me know! Thanks for sticking with me to the end:goodvibes

Yes, I'm hoping to get it started sometime next week.:goodvibes I hope you decide to do one for your next trip. Can't wait to read it!!:thumbsup2
 
Hey Jenny! So sorry it took me so long to get back over here. And now your report has come to an end! :(

You did a great job - very entertaining. :thumbsup2 And I loved your wrap up at the end. :goodvibes

So glad your pictures ended up not being lost. I can totally understand how upset you felt at the idea. :hug:

Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

Thanks for reading! And I still have your TR to give me a Disney fix. Though you're a tad bit slow finishing it. Guess that just drags out the trip;)
 
I am only on page 12 but thought I would thank you for writing this report. I am enjoying it a lot, you look like you had a great time.

The thing I like the best about trip reports is how differently everyone does it.

I was also a seat saver on our trip, I am sorry if I make people cranky, but if I have to take two small children up and wait in line with me then everyone around us, them and I would be cranky. I tell myself I am doing it for the greater good. ;)

Fantastic TR! Sorry it took me until now to get caught up. Glad you liked SSR, we did as well. I totally agree on buying DVC, initial investment isn't so bad, but the fees every year have made us think twice. BC sounds wonderful, it's on my radar as well as the Poly for our next trip (whenever that may be!).

Best of luck in the half-marathon. We have friends that are competitive triathletes that have done both the half and full with very positive experiences :thumbsup2

And thank you for sharing your experience as well as the pictures of your family.

We did have a great time on the trip! The best Disney trip yet:thumbsup2 Yea I know the seat saving thing upsets some people, but it's so much easier not having to deal with the kids in the line. You do what you gotta do:confused3 Enjoy the rest of the report and thanks for reading:goodvibes

I'm glad it's taken you some time to finish. It seems to extend the trip report experience for me:goodvibes Yea I would love to buy DVC, but the fees which would come to at least a grand every year for the rest of our lives is a little hard to swallow. Like I said you never know what is going to happen in life and those thousands may come in handy sometime (like in 10 years when we have two in college):rolleyes1
I'm excited about the half. I'm not competitive by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it will be fun (in a very tiring, warperd kind of way):rolleyes: Thanks so much for reading!
 
So I know my TR is over, but I have some news I just want to share with people that I know will be excited about it. If you remember from my final thoughts we decided that DVC wasn't right for us right now and that we'd look at again in the future. Well the Future is Now:yay: We've had an offer accepted for 50 points at the Boardwalk villas:dance3: We have to wait for right of first refusal, but our agent doesn't forsee that as a problem. So basically in about 6 weeks we will be official DVC owners! Of course we are very excited! We've never actually been to our new home, but we know we love the Epcot resort area. (Anyone that read this report can't doubt my devotion to that area) We decided to go with Boardwalk because it's cheaper and has a standard view that uses substantially less points than Beach Club. So with a little banking, borrowing, and transferring we are planning on our first vacation at our new home for the marathon 2011. I know it's a ways away, but that is OK because with DVC there is never a last trip:woohoo: (At least not until 2042;)) Just wanted to share my happy news with my DIS friends! And keep your eyes opened for a half marathon trip report come January. I've already started thinking of potential titles:goodvibes
 
Jenny! What fantastic news!

My husband and I often regret not buying into Disney Vacation Club waaaay back when we first started visiting Disney. You know, back in the day when we didn't have a child in private school, a child in college, three automobile insurance policies, etc. etc. etc.:rotfl2:

Congratulations!
 
Congratulations Jenny! Matt and I so want to do it to, but it's not the right time. Hopefully that day will come. :) It's so cool to know two new owners though (you and Scrappie). I can't wait to hear about it. Congrats again!
 
Yay!! Congratulations!!!

That's such great news!!!--and you were able to get in at the Boardwalk Villas, that's wonderful!!:goodvibes I know from your TR how much you love the Epcot resorts.;)

I'll be looking for your TR in January....can't wait!!!!
 
Jennie,

Congrats! That's awesome news...

Maybe someday we can be DVC neighbors...:lmao:

(We're seriously considering it too...:goodvibes)

So happy for you!:woohoo:
 
Thanks to all of you for the congratulations! I knew you would understand! You're the best DIS friends ever:grouphug:

You never run out of things to pay for do ya;) We started out small because we don't want to get in over our heads with maintainence fees in the days that we're paying college tuition for 3 kids so I totally hear ya!

Congratulations Jenny! Matt and I so want to do it to, but it's not the right time. Hopefully that day will come. :) It's so cool to know two new owners though (you and Scrappie). I can't wait to hear about it. Congrats again!
Hopefully that time will come for you, but you don't have to be DVC to keep going back. I wouldn't rush it before you are ready:goodvibes

Yay!! Congratulations!!!

We were excited to find a small contract at the Boardwalk. It's perfect to start out! think it will all work out great for us!

Jennie,

Congrats! That's awesome news...

Maybe someday we can be DVC neighbors...:lmao:

(We're seriously considering it too...:goodvibes)

So happy for you!:woohoo:
I'd love to be your DVC neighbors. If you're seriously considering make sure to check out resale. It will save you a pretty penny (which is always a nice thing.):goodvibes
 
WOW and Double WOW!!! What awesome news!:goodvibes I thought I understood that DVC owners can use any of the pools. True? If so, you'll be so, so close to our beloved SAB!:cloud9:
