The more calories I take in, the more I am enjoying the trip! :rotfl2:
 
I'm looking for opinions.....

Ok, so my April trip is over, my October trip is planned......now I have the itch to plan a December trip. I'm hoping that Bob and his DD will be able to join us. Anyway, I'm trying to decide which DVC resort to stay at. When we went in December a few years ago, I loved staying at WL because it was so Christmas-y. But I'm really enticed to stay at the new AKL villas. Has anyone been to AKL at Christmas time? I'm looking for a resort that has that cozy Christmas flavor.

Ive never been to AKL at christmas time, but when i went i LOVED staying there..it felt cozy to me, and it was february
 

I have not stayed here during Christmas, but I love the AKL! I had a choice of AKL or the Poly for our Christmas trip. I chose the Poly only because I have not stayed there before.

I know I did not help any, but you will love it, if you decide to stay there! They have lots of activities for children as well & they are free :thumbsup2

It is going to be a hot one outside today!

I need to get to work, have a great day all!
 
Thanks for your input Janet and Jen.

I called member services and they have availability for the dates I'm looking at, but I can't make a ressie until June 6, when they open it up to non-owners.

Thank you! Our meeting leader was speaking about how to stay on the plan while on vacation.:confused3 I'm sorry...I do not understand that?:rotfl2:

I know for a fact that there is no way I am going to do WW's at Disney, especially with the DDP. Fortunately I haven't gained weight on previous Disney trips since we do so much walking.. I am just going to face the music when I get back no matter what the gain/loss/maintain is.

When Stephanie and I were in Disney, I figured we walked about a total of 7 miles each day give or take a few. That can be taken off as your workout points. I think I stayed about the same weight wise for that week. Actually, I lost a pound. The hardest part was keeping hydrated. Just too hard to carry water around!!!
 
So my youngest just took 20 years off my life. She has her first day where she's alone....she went outside and locked herself out of the house. :scared1: Because it's a new neighborhood and she is afraid of grownups she didn't go to any of our neighbors to cal. When I got there (I had a coworker take me so I could check on her) she looked like she was scared I was going to be mad at her.....I was just so happy to see her!!

We needed to rekey the lock but we will also put a spare in the garage where she can find it.

Oh my goodness!!
 
It sounds like a horrible accident occurred at the AK today.

WDWINFO.COM - (5/29 - 12pm) While details are still sketchy, it appears there has been a major accident at Animal Kingdom this morning that sent several guests to the hospital, and forced an entire section of Animal Kingdom to close down.

According to unconfirmed reports, a piece of equipment being used by workers on a bridge over the ride collapsed, and struck a raft full of guests. According to one eyewitness, the water at Kali River Rapids was "red with blood". Several ambulances and emergency personnel were on the scene. There are no reports of fatalities, but some on the ride were severely injured.

More information to follow as details become available.



ETA: Now they are saying minor injuries, bumps, bruises, etc.
 
Cool!! :yay: Is your 20th in 2010? What a wonderful way to spend your anniversary..& how cool he suggested it? We can sway these men over to our way of Disney-thinking!!!;) Dana & I were just talking last night about doing a vow renewal for our 20th (2011) with the kids as witnesses.

Yes. 2010 is the big year! We're just trying to figure out when to go. We want to go as "cheaply" as possible, but given that Katie will be in Jr. High, we don't want her to miss too much school. So, we'll have to kind of play around with ideas and see what we can come up with.

Can't help you, but I can't wait to hear what everyone says!

Wow! How scary. I hope everyone's ok.
 
I just got a letter in the mail that i did not get the teaching job at the school i student taught at..

I'm so sorry! Here's some :wizard: for your job search!

Thanks everyone for all the comments about the kids. I can't believe that my babies are going to be in kindergarten next year! We have just loved Mrs. Jenkins as the preschool teacher! She has taught all the kids, and they love her! We have to trick or treat at her house each year, and the kids make Christmas gifts for her! She's really special!

The pictures are so cute!

Here is a self portrait from this afternoon. Please ignore the dumb look, I was trying to hold the camera and shoot at the same time :lmao:

Spring2006103.jpg

Deb -- I love your hair! I agree that it makes you look younger. Very cute! The pics you posted of the kids were really cute as well!

I'm far behind in reading, and don't have much time to catch-up right now. I hope you all had a great weekend, and I'll continue trying to catch-up as time permits. Since it's still SOGGY here, we probably won't have baseball games tonight, so I should be able to get more read tonight.

Here's :wizard: for everyone who needs it.
 
I know! I'm so excited! Can I share a secret???? Alan and I are planning a trip to WDW to celebrate our 20th anniversary in 3 years. We'll take the kids and make it a week long trip!!! We're not telling the kids yet. I want to get everything all planned, and then let them know. I guess I've got time, right? Anyway, I'm really excited! Alan also wants to look at doing a week at WDW and then a Disney cruise. I just can't believe it's my husband who suggested it!!!
Woo Hoo!!! That sounds like a wonderful vacation. A week at WDW and a cruise :thumbsup2

I would love to plan a secret cruise during our stay next summer. I could book last minute for better rates since we will be there for 3 weeks, the problem I forsee is how to get 5 passports without 4 people becoming curious :lmao: My parents plan to spend some of our vacation with us and I know that they would love to do a cruise.
 
I took colby in to the doctors today. The doctor ended up digging out a sliver that was in too deep for me to get out. He screamed and I hat to hold him down. It was HORRIBLE. Thankfully he got it out. He said the rest will surface over time.

Logan has a cold today and he is UGLY to say the least. He has argued with me over everything and back talked some too. I really hope that he will behave better by Thursday.

I think that I'll print out a Mickey head and try to baste a few t-shirts during the slow time at work tonight. I'd like to get those tie dye shirts done soon.

Have a nice weekend.

Deb

thats 2010 right? if so my cousins and i are going that year too. maybe we could meet. i have know idea when they wanna go. i think they wanna go in june for 3 days. i started laughing and saying to myself you arent gonna see anything. i am guessing my cousin will wanna put the 3 boys down for a nap while there so with that added in it would be camando style while in the parks. okay enough rambling.
 
Well, my day went as I feared it would. Our event planner called me at 7 a.m. wanting to know what to do - it was drizzling at the park, and the minute the vendors would begin unloading their trucks, we would be committed no matter what. I checked our oh-so-helpful forecasts to find nothing much other than rain was likely, but the radar wasn't very conclusive, etc. So, we pressed on. When I got to the park at 9:30, it was still drizzling, but then at about 10:15 it stopped. By 10:45, you could say there was some sun peeking through the clouds. The picnic began at 11, and folks trickled in (admittedly saying they expected it to be canceled), and by 11:30, you could have almost called the weather partly sunny.

And then, basically out of nowhere, it began POURING at 12:10. Literally, pounding sheets of rain. We had a small tent set-up that the band and food was under, and you've never seen so many people crowd under a spot so fast. Fortunately, I had a couple of golf umbrellas in my car, so that and some trees kept me and the rest of my staff somewhat dry. Typically, this type of rain doesn't last long - but it did today - for almost an HOUR, non-stop. We called it canceled for good around 12:45, but the rain was so hard and thick, that people didn't make a run for their cars until about 1:15. We finished getting our stuff picked up (I've never been so happy to have an event planner to have to take care of meeting all the vendors to pick things up), and were on our way home around 1:45. So, it only ended up being an hour and 15 minutes shorter than it should have been. :rolleyes:

Our weather man just said we've had over 3 inches of rain on average in the last few days, with more rain to come this week. I'm so glad I don't have any other outdoor events this week - just a cooking class on Friday INSIDE. Our lake that was over 18 feet down earlier this spring is now back in the black, so that's at least one piece of good news!

Oh I'm sorry to hear it turned out like this! I'm happy for you, though, that it's over! :goodvibes

UGH! I'm so glad you added the bit at the end. I was sick thinking about the images at first! Still, what a terrible accident, and that horrible press that you know will fly much faster than the actual details! I'll have to look more into it, I hadn't heard anything.
 
I'm looking for opinions.....

Ok, so my April trip is over, my October trip is planned......now I have the itch to plan a December trip. I'm hoping that Bob and his DD will be able to join us. Anyway, I'm trying to decide which DVC resort to stay at. When we went in December a few years ago, I loved staying at WL because it was so Christmas-y. But I'm really enticed to stay at the new AKL villas. Has anyone been to AKL at Christmas time? I'm looking for a resort that has that cozy Christmas flavor.
i was there this past christmas. it has a beautiful christmas tree in the lobby. i havent been to wl so i dont know how it feels at christmas time there but i enjoyed akl. i loved it just because you are so enriched with the african culture and the animals at you balcony. i have a few pictures if you want me to email them to ya. the tree is gorgous(SP) at night from the outside in the back of the hotel. took a picture of that but it was very blurry.
