The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 30

[mommykds]

Anne Marie - Did you mention our Dream to anyone? Where's the picture of Josh??? AKA Sully???

Not yet, I am going to write it up today..that was so special I wanted to add some detail...what a day that was!!!

I have a new ticker!!!!!!!!!

Still working on a discount, I may just have to wait for an AP rate, but Dana mentioned it last night & said go ahead & book!!!

Okay my "babies" are like that too. I have always contended that my girls are twins born 4 years apart. Except they hardly ever fight.

Did I ever tell you all what a lucky mom I am???

I am still furiously reading away before I have to head to work, but I had to comment on this. My DDs are this way too. They are almost 8 years apart and they STILL hold hands and snuggle together and have secrets like they did when they were younger. Makes me misty-eyed every time I see them together like this!

Emma's school photo. The photographer is really great. Emma wants to let her hair grow so it looks a bit too long. I have a hard time getting Emma to look at me when I take her photo so this photographer did really great! Emma told me she got her to smile by screaming at her.

oh, Bernadette... this is TERRIFIC!!

Good morning! How is Garrett feeling? I hope he gets to go to his dance.

What are your dates? Will Bernadette and I be seeing you?

Deb - Glad you got a clean bill of health!

Janet - Glad Garrett feels better today!

Heidi - I don't like peanut butter well enough to make a dessert with it.

Welcome back Elin!

We are home. I am back on page 9623 valiantly trying to catch up on over a week's worth of posts! As I wade through all of thes, is there anything of great import I need to know right away? If so, someone please PM me as this may take a while!

Oh, yeah... we had a BLAST!

 

[tinknme]

Goodness, either I need to restart my computer or the boards are running really slow!

Woo hoo!

After hearing your stories about the BC, I'm glad you're going to have an opportunity to get back there. Are you booking concierge?

I thought you booked the bounce back offer last night - did they not let you do it?

Yay - I'm glad he feels better! (And you're probably right about the girl!)

Janet - I just noticed your ticker - I can't believe you'll be in Vegas in 11 days! You're quite the traveler!

 

[PNO4TE]

This is a placeholder to myself to start on page 9700 when I get back home tonight! Very funny, ladies (and Tom!!)

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

The boards are slow.

One of Tom's dresses is already at $31 with 6 days left on the auction! Already over 100 views.

Anne Marie - What exactly did they tell you about Bounce Back?

I got a coupon from Macy's for $20 off a $50 purchase so I bought DS a pair of Nike wind pants and a Crocs backpack. If he doesn't like the backpack I will keep it. The print is kind of obnoxious, but at least I didn't buy him the pink one!

 

[tinknme]

on the UTI being gone! How does Colby feel about starting school?

It has been a good morning here. The UTI is completely gone so I won't need to have any tests run Phew, I must admit I was getting concerned. I also got Colby enrolled in preschool. He will start right after Thanksgiving. It's nice to have those 2 things out of the way.

This sounds good & easy, perfect!

So I was over at the CB, checking on the exchanges and Nancy (Meriweather) post recipes on her holiday recipe exchange thread.

Well I found one that not only sounds good, but is very easy to make. (Hear that Elizabeth? I don't even you could mess this recipe up.)

Peanut Butter Cups

1 cup butter
2 cups peanut butter
2 1/2 cups powered sugar
12 ounce chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350º

Mix together butter, peanut butter, and sugar. Spread in a
9"x9" pan.

Top with the chocolate chips and place in oven for 10 minutes.

Smooth chips over top with a spatula. Cut into squares before completely cooling.

Store in refrigerator.

This has been a good year for traveling, next year I will be lucky if I get one trip

The Vegas trip is for our Anniversary, we will be married 18 years Oct. 28th

What are your dates? Will Bernadette and I be seeing you?

My dates are August 18-29. Will you be there then?

Woo hoo!

I thought you booked the bounce back offer last night - did they not let you do it?

Not yet, but I am going to try again..can't hurt! No, I haven't booked conceirge, just a standard (not parking lot) view room. Did I mention this is my favorite resort???? We had talked about going back to the Poly or maybe the CR, but when I walked back into the BC I knew I just had to stay there again..feels like home to me. I also love that it is in one building.

Anne Marie - What exactly did they tell you about Bounce Back?

Right now, no 40% off for me. I am going to call back but I have an AP so I hope they have a good rate for that.
Half the CM's know nothing about it, they still think it is for free dining. Very confusing....

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to hear about Vegas!

that would be my guess too!!

Happy Anniversary!
Ours is 11/7 - 15 years.

Anne Marie - I will miss you by a day. We are coming home 8/17 at the latest. I don't have wiggle room on the date we come home, just the date we go to Orlando. I need to be here so I can go back to work on 8/18 if they need me. I might not have to work until 8/19, but I want to be home just in case!
I am not surprised that the CMs are confused. That seems to happen no matter what. I am wondering what the AP rates will look like next year. I am also worried about getting an AP rate at the resort we want on the room type we want. It sounds like Bounce Back is better than AAA, but AP could be better than Bounce Back. I could be on the phone for the next 10 months.

Maybe once or twice!

At least you have a clear cut choice - for me, I have so many "favorite resorts" that I think I'll forever be a WDW gypsy! Very few have I marked off my list as "never again!"

Let us know if you end up having any luck booking bounce back (or find out anything further on concrete booking dates!).

So true. That's why this % off is intriguing to me, since the flat $ AP rates as of late haven't been that great of a savings (of course, though, something is always better than nothing!). I have reservations held in early May and December of next year with AAA "room only" discounts. I think my % off in December is 15% off (value season), but in May it's only 10% off (regular season). I would love to get 30% off that regular season rate!!!!
