The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 2

[MinnieMouseMom]

Hi Bev,

Yes I just spoke to her. I had sent her a tshirt THANKS DENISE!!, the priceless one that Denise created. Denise had made a few changes for me. Well she got it on Friday. She called and thanked me, said it was cute.

I was a little bummed because she didn't sound really excited. So I called her today and told her that Mousefest days were up and we would probably miss it, but did she want French or Canadian food for the Candlelight Processional. And she says wait a minute... And she goes and gets the shirt. And she reads it. And then she says "You're taking me to Disney World!!!"

Duh!

I emailed my nephew and he is going to buy her the 7 day park hopper and give it to her when she goes out to see him next week.

We have the dining plan, so the CP and Fantasmic packages are done. So I just have to get the MVMCP tickets.

I am so excited.

Beverly, Great response!

My mouth is feeling all right, thank you for asking! It took about 4 hours longer than it should have to quit bleeding (sorry, gross to some I'm sure ) but I finally got my mashed potatoes.... and today I didn't take a pain pill until the evening! I don't feel great so I slept a lot today, but I'm not in too much pain, thankfully. Keeping my fingers crossed, as well, that no complications arise this time!

I'm off to bed (again). I'm not sure if I have some bug or just a reaction to yet another course of antibiotics.... but I know sleep can't hurt!

Goodnight DDAs!

I need to ask you all for some pixie dust and prayers. (Although mine seems so small in comparison with the others the last couple of days) I found out last night that my husband will be going in to his last day of work this morning. They are closing the store that he is working at with little notice to everyone. This wouldn't be to big of a deal if I knew he would actually go out and look for another job but it took seven months of sitting on his hiney to even look for this job....AND as you can see from my signature we are trying to go to WDW this summer for our first trip. Hard to do that on just my income.

So I am a little stressed out !!

Yesterday though I made a funny typo in the Sunday bulletin for all to see. For the Men's Retreat I put the meeting place as Templed HELLS instead of Templed Hills. Can't wait to hear about that on Monday.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I hope your DH has luck finding a job.

I need a little help.

I'm taking my older sister to Disney. This is her first trip. I really want to go for Mousefest, but if I do, it will run into Pop Warner week. I would like to avoid that.

If I go the following week, it runs into my busy time at work...if fact, I don't know if I would be allowed to go during that time.

I would REALLY like to go the week before, just after Thanksgiving, but that runs into the last board meeting of the year when they pass my budget. Sorta can't miss that.

So, does Mousefest and the ability to get off work easily, trump Pop Warner? And how bad is Pop Warner? I'll be staying DVC, so I don't think I'll have problems with cheerleaders doing chants in the room next door, or chanting on the buses... but it will be my sister's first visit....

I'm torn.... Help me please....

Also, my sister never showers. She only takes tub baths. It is a nightly ritual for her. So should I spring for the 1 bedroom for the jacuzzi? If I do, then I can only go Sun-Thursday. Would that trump a week in a studio???
I'm so confused. I really thought DVC would make my life easier... Now I'm going nuts with these points and choices!!!

Hi, Steffy,

Don't know if anyone else answered, but my BIL/SIL and their 2 kids went PW week this past year - and stayed at ASMo!!!

They said they really didn't notice any difference at the parks, but it obviously impacted their bus rides to/from ASMo, etc.

I bet if you planned carefully (and you know you would!), things would work out OK for this time frame.

Good luck!

What did DH say when you were to sit down and talk about it on Friday night???

Hey Marti - Thanks for asking!

We actually talked about it on Saturday (too tired on Friday). And...

Would you believe it, we're making plans to go on a whirlwind trip next weekend to do the tour, and (hopefully) begin the paperwork process??!!

We looked at every aspect of it, and DH agrees that this is a pretty good deal. He still wants to see more info. about trading out of DVC, and hopefully that lovely little FedEx package will arrive on Monday (we were hoping today, but no dice). We looked at pictures, point charts, and spreadsheets until our minds were spinning!

So, with 2 free SWA tickets just sitting in my account waiting to be used and AP call-in rates back in play, we're off next Friday night!

I'm getting ready to call it a night (couldn't sleep, and thought I'd catch up from the last couple of days), but just wanted to say

A Big Happy Birthday to all our recent celebrants,


and Marti and Skunka - have a great trip filled with lots of !!!!​

Just got home from the kids' carnival at school. It was great, and the kids had so much fun. The foot stool I painted for my class I teach sold for $100! And the best news is, I won Davis' foot stool!!!!! I got it for $36, so DH was extremely happy. Davis is thrilled as well. Mission accomplished!

Glad to hear you were able to get the stool without breaking the bank.

Since everyone is having such a great time with the new smilies, I thought this might be a good chance to see if I can use some new smilies as well. So- this is a test of the Emergency Smilie System. This is only a test!

Hooray! Keep us posted on the trip plans Steffy (not seen anyone use this poor fella yet - thought I'd get him to join the party!)

Ours isn't small! My daughter LOVES turtles. She wanted one for years. She got one and it has grown and grown and grown. Our current goldfish have done the same thing. They are also breeding now! I've never seen anything like it. We've had goldfish in the past and they didn't do this. We must have something in the water now. Thank goodness it hasn't affected us humans.

What the goldfish and the turtle?? Wow no wonder you've never seen anything like it!


Sorry - just had to laugh at the juxtaposition in your post

 

[rosiejo]

I'm playing catch-up, so someone may have mentioned this, but DFW doesn't have that great of airfare to many places because of Love Field (original airport in DFW and closer to downtown Dallas) and the Wright amendment. Southwest Airlines can't fly non-stop to any state (except St. Louis because of some new law) that doesn't border it, so American doesn't have to lower their airfare to compete.

There is a lot of debate now because Southwest wants the Wright amendment repealed so they can compete head to head with American.

Marci - how far are you in miles - or flight time - from Orlando?

Wow that's FANTASTIC news!

Ok I'm done with my private posting party

Marti and Paul I hope you have a fantastic trip!

Good for you! Sounds like it might be a done deal. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
