The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 4

Off topic!!!!!!!!!!!

I am watching Fox News and they are saying now that a credible witness in the Natalee Holloway case has stepped forward to say that Natalee died of alcohol poisioning/drug overdose and he knows where the body is.....

Pray for that family if this is true...

So did you have a disney honeymoon?? I remember it was SO hot that day and it rained briefly right before our ceremony (which I'm told is good luck). We did have an awful storm the next day but we were already gone on our honeymoon (not at Disney, we hadn't caught the bug yet-I wish we had now though).

14 days at the Grand Floridian on the Deluxe Plan- a wedding gift from my in-laws.

Mercy 2 years & Oak Hills 2 years--(my parents couldn't swing the Catholic school tuition any longer). I graduated in 1993. My husband graduated from where else (considering we live on the West Side of town) but Elder in 1988.

[Cinderumbrella]

Wow----Nice Gift!!!!!

It was my first time ever at WDW too... talk about a way to be introduced!!! We had 3 meals a day for 14 days and they were all table service!!!!! I practically rolled out of there!!

Well - I pray that the family has closure

I know there has been a lot of speculation that maybe she was sold into sex slavery and her mom has really held out hope that they might find her alive -

While that is what I truly wish for her family - I really just hope they find her and they get closure

Ok! I have not posted in a while. I have been in a kind of post-disney and don't know when I will ever get to go back mood.

Now DH has agreed to go in Dec. That makes all of the difference in the World.

I know a lot of y'all are going in Dec. and kind of remember some discussion about avoiding PopWarner time. We really only have 2 choices of times to go Dec. 1 - Dec 6 or Dec 8 - Dec 13. I sounds like PopWarner will be during part of either of these times. Does anybody have any advice on what they are doing or which one they would choose?

Thanks! Now I can get back to making shirts! All of Triplefigs Christmas designs are the place to start!

Hey! If there is one thing I know about, it's post trip depression. (look at my tag!)

I'm braving it from Nov 30 to Dec 6th. I think Pop Warner starts that Sunday (the 3rd??). I hope that Sunday, Monday and Tuesday they will be busy with competions and won't be in the parks until the evenings. I know one of the parks will close early that week for their party. I've heard unless you stay at a value resort, (with some carry-over to POR) you should not run into them on the bus... I've read they can be noisy and cheering on the buses.

I know that week is the best for me. I want to go for MVMCP. I want to see the Osborne Lights. I want to do CP. I want to see the new Christmas Wishes. Illuminations with the holiday ending. The little skit at Epcot. The lights coming on for the countries. I have to leave the day after my final board meeting and be back in time for the holiday party. That means I have to go that week.

I'm going to have a wonderful time. If I run into the cheerleaders chanting in the park, I'll give them a and keep on going. I'll be darned if I'm going to let them having a good time ruin my good time.

I don't think I'll run into many on the OKW or SSR buses. Maybe going to DTD. If so, we'll have a fun ride. They're kids. They're in Disney World. My favorite place in the whole wide world. They're enjoying their vacation. I'm going to enjoy mine.

I know you will hear a lot of bad things about that week. I know I've read some real horror stories.

When tinker1bell and I were on our way last year, the last week in September, we knew about the hurricanes. We had a ball.

I had read horror stories about Christmas week. We went for 11 days. Had a ball. Was it crowded, you bet it was crowded. We used Tour Guide Mike and had a ball.

Boy, I'm all wound up! Whichever week you go, you'll have a ball. BTW, Mousefest is also that week, with the MegaMouse Meet on Saturday the 9th.....

I have watched this case like a hawk since it started. I took several trips to the Carribean in my college years and did a lot of stupid things- so this could have easily been me.

Kate,

Have you found anything out about cheerleading???

You have a GREAT attitude We will be there Dec. 1-10. I decided I am just not going to worry about Pop Warner...I am just thrilled to be seeing WDW during Christmas.

Cinderumbrella,

I see that you have a Christmas countdown ticker, when will you be there exactly??? We are going 12/1-12/9, if I can wait that long!!! If they offer any specials for the fall we may change it to Sept/Oct, but I would really like to go around Chistmas time!!!!

 

[KristineN]

I think about that a lot...I was so lucky that nothing bad ever happened to me...I did many a crazy thing! Of course times were different then... I worry for my kids.

I have watched this case like a hawk since it started. I took several trips to the Carribean in my college years and did a lot of stupid things- so this could have easily been me.

 

[Steffy]

Wow I missed a lot today. I have an upper resp infection and got some meds, so I should be good as new in a day or two. Thanks for all the get well wishes.

Kate - I love the new designs.

Kristine - It looks like your kids had a great time, as well as your DH. I see you have your new ticker in your sig.

Cinderumbrella - You are becoming a great designer. I vote for the second one as well.

Theresa - Have fun tonight. Are they taping in Colorado??

Cindy - Congrats on the upcoming trip!! December is a wonderful time to go. We were there Nov 28 - Dec. 5 and didn't notice the teens at all. We stayed at WL. From what I hear, the values are full of the kids and they spill over into some of the mods. Renting points would be a great way to go, plus you get somewhere really nice to stay. The parks weren't crowded at all. Have fun planning!

Feel better soon!!!

Nov 26-Dec 3- I wouldn't change the time for anything- i can't wait to see it at Christmas!!!

 

[KristineN]

I'll be down there when you are there. Dec 1-10 for us...where are you staying? We went Oct. last year. I really want to see things during x-mas.

Steffy...

Which american girl place are you going?

Kristine

 

[weluvdisney]

We are staying at All Star Movies, but we have debated on changing it because of Pop Warner. We have never stayed at a Value Resort before, but after 3 trips in 3 years we just can't swing anything else. Besides we are never in our room, so its hard to justify spending SO much money every year!!! Maybe every other year!!! I think that the kids are going to love ASMo, and I have heard a lot of great reviews. Does anyone have a preference in ASMo or Pop???
