The Dasani Returns!!!! September Pre-Trip Adventures! THE NEWS REVEALED!

[hlrababy]

LOL....i guess Disboards needs to have a baseball thread lol.

That would be a great idea! Because the Brave's do spring training there, so why not!

 

[Leger13]

you know what I'm laughing at right? I'll bold it for ya...

HOPEFULLY...Hopefully....

Carla you have a better chance of crossing paths with Heather than I do. Aren't you getting to the resort around lunch?

yeah, I knew you'd laugh at that.

That's the plan for now....to check in around lunch time or maybe sooner than that....So Heather, depending on what time you're leaving maybe you want to try and schedule a little dis meet in the lobby of Pop or something?

Im baaaaaaaaaack! I just read about 20 pages or so, while im making chocolate chip cookies. (tried out a new recipe, and they are amazing). That storm sounded awful!!! We almost had a tornado here on Long Island the other night. It was a 'water spout' that started on the harbor, and thankfully dissipated before it reached land. I think it was a tornado on the water. I have to go into town and see how all the boats faired later on. There are trees down all over, and people still without power. Weather is quite scary. Im glad all the puppies came home too! I just took my puppy to the groomers, she needed a haircut desperately! Oh and FREE DINING!? How can you not! GO FOR IT! Im currently working on my dad for an October trip. We'll see how that goes. I think thats it for now. Im off to the beach trip report

Kate!

Hi

I just caught up to your report and thought that I would come out of lurking.

DH and I are also going in Sept for free dining too. It will be our first trip and one of the reasons we decided to go ahead and go this year, I am hoping it will be a huge savings.

 

[BarbieGal457]

Ahhh, the dining plan! I used it in 06 (couldn't last time, I wasn't on property). It's a bit confusing at first but I found in the end it was so easy and definitely worth it!

 

[alabamagirl]

Hi Heather! I just finished your January trip report (it took me a week), and I went to comment, and......it was closed!

So I came on over to join this party (I'm still on page 10 of this thread). I loved your TR, tell Darren he is a great photographer.

Your wedding pics are gorgeous, and your house is fantastic! I love all the hardwood. We are laying hardwood in our house now, room by room. I love it!

Going back to read more now!

ooh I want in on that too!

(although, this is SO hilarious because Heather and I could meet anywhere in Hammond and yet we'd rather meet in WDW first--it is, afterall, the happiest place on earth!! And Hammond, Louisiana...well, that's certainly a different story, right Heather?)

I would like to say that when DH and I totaled up our meal "bills" last year for our 6 night trip (they will give you a bill so you can see what it WOULD have cost) we ate over $800 worth of food. 2 people! Keep in mind, that included appetizers on last year's plan. But it ended up being SO much food with the appetizers included...so although there will be some I will miss, I will generally just be able to enjoy more dessert this year

I am saddened that they erased the gratuity being included, but I'm prepared to spend at LEAST $100 in tips over 8 days (7 nights, so seven sit-down meals)

 

[DisneyFairy66]

wheres heather????

 

[TrueEeyore]

that DOES suck!! We will take lots of pictures though....so be sure to read our TR's (hopefully Cheri will be done with her one from last year so she can move on to this years )

I will be getting down to WDW on the 12th so we do over lap by a day but I don't think we'll be getting there till late that night Otherwise I'd suggest doing a quick meet. Bummer!

Of course I will read y'all's TRs!!!

You mentioned not spending extra money when you had it? That's what we do and then I kick myself afterwards. It's kinda like when you go without water for a while, and then when you get some you over indulge instead of spreading it out so it will last longer? I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down.

Exactly. It's like, this won't set us back too bad, when in reality, the more money saved, the better. We'll never learn though.

Scott is a fan of many teams lol, he is a HUGE Chicago Bears fan, and I guess for college teams he is a University of Miami fan, BLECH! lol...Im an LSU/FSU fan, he doesnt know good teams lol..(except the bears they are good.)

Go you for liking LSU!!! Boo on Scott lol.

OOOOOOH by the way, if you do the Mickeys Not so Scary Halloween party I have pictures of when i went last year, I had soo much fun, and I stayed at the Carribbean BEach Resort last year as well, if you dont mind, I can post you some pics to get you excited!!!!!

I'd love to see some pictures!!

Heather, you're welcome to ask me anything and everything about the dining plan. I've only done it the one time but I already feel like we know how to use it to the best advantage!

I hope you can work it out so y'all can definitely go!

Oh by the way, what time would y'all be leaving on the 13th? If you're staying at Pop, maybe we'll cross paths!

Carla you have a better chance of crossing paths with Heather than I do. Aren't you getting to the resort around lunch?

Thanks, I'll be sure to ask you if I need to know anything!

yeah, I knew you'd laugh at that.

That's the plan for now....to check in around lunch time or maybe sooner than that....So Heather, depending on what time you're leaving maybe you want to try and schedule a little dis meet in the lobby of Pop or something?

We leave EARLY early in the morning.

Mmmm, I'd like some of those cookies!!! That's scary you almost had a tornado. Those are one of my worst fears!
I hope you get to go in October!

LOL I know!!!! Yeah, let's meet up at Splash Mountain in the MK...orrrrrr Crappy Dillards at the 'mall'? Which one would we prefer lol. But we eventually need to meet though!

Sorry!!!! I'm here, don't worry. Just caught up with alot of things. Thanks for thinking of me though!

 

[BellaSwan]

glad you plan on reading...hopefully I can get this year's finished a lot quicker than last year's.

aww, bummer that you leave so early. You should have flown, girl! I wonder if you can still get a good rate on Southwest....

great...I am here whenever you need me! Just an email or a PM away (or probably about a 10 minute drive )

ooh crappy Dillards...... For some reason I think our meeting will somehow involve AK.

Splash Mountain would be GREAT! I'm going to find you a flight today girlie!!!!

 

[cherbear]

So....any new involvements in the planning?

 

[cherbear]

oh, by the way, I didn't have a package for me at work.

 

[samiet620]

I hope all is well and that the Dis fairies have mercy and give you just a min to update...... your fans await!!
