The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 4

[weluvdisney]

Kristine and I have been watching for weeks! I finally bought mine at $262 (after fees) but we are flying out the Sunday after Thanksgiving. AA has some for $184(pre fees) from Chicago right now for the early part of December.

My only advice is find a flight you want, monitor it frequently and keep an eye on the available seats. The more seats sold, the higher the price will go!

I'm kind of holding out to see Southwest's fares, we did this last time and flew out of Indianapolis which wasn't too bad. Although I hate to wait too much longer.

The waiting is the worst part!

I got that too, but they saved until we came back!

If only my MIL would learn to save it, I just told my mom to organize the wedding and tell me where and when and then I just looked forward to my honeymoon, never told his family where we were going so they couldn't make there comments and critisize!!!

Need Advice Ladies -- I want to print some designs to make shirts for our trip next week. I have saved the designs I like from Kate, Denise and others by right-clicking them and saving them. I open those images in MS Paint. But the images aren't big enough for a shirt. So I go to File ->Page Setup and I make the image bigger. But then it is all distorted.

Is there a better way to make the images bigger without distorting them?

Thanks!

I am pretty excited myself!! So far I have heard many positive reports..so I am really hoping for a great time!!

Kristine-

I absolutely loved itthe polynesian!!! It is hands down my most favorite hotel (not that I have stayed at all of them-JMO)!!! We stayed at the Contemporary a year later and I was so disappointed, I just kept comparing it to the Poly!!! You will love it, I love feeling like I am on two vacations at once beach/WDW. I think it is very relaxing, you will also love the pools. We did not stay in concierge but I loved the location of our building, it was Raratonga, it was very centrally located!! I am getting excited just talking about it-can you tell???

For us compulsive planners it sure is!!!

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.
Kristine

Me too! I just can't wait. It is what keeps me going.....

 

[KristineN]

We might be... forgive my ignorance but what is it, where is it etc.

Steffy...

Which american girl place are you going?

Kristine

The one in New York. I won't be able to go now. But my daughter and granddaughter will go. I can still drive, but I'll have to stay at the hotel that day. They want to go sightseeing afterwards and I can barely walk a block.....

I keep thinking by next week, I should be able to at least go to the store and have dinner and watch the show. But my daughter doesn't want me to go.

try copying and pasting them directly into word and see if they works

and that reminds me -

Not a 100% sure if I am right...but I think you have to contact whoever created the design and ask them to email it to you. The examples in their galleries are too small and wouldn't work for reproduction.

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???

I know you're going to have a wonderful time. Just plan. We'll agree to find out their schedule; when they close the park; which park it is.... what parks they are going to what eveings.... and we should be fine. I know I will!!!! Your kids will love ASMo!!!

I found a place right down the street from us that has classes once a week for preschoolers - 8 week sessions are $135

there are no competitions or uniforms - definately a better option!!
and now we can get her whatever color uniform she wants!!!!!

Kool!!!

We might be... forgive my ignorance but what is it, where is it etc.

in a nutshell: Illuminations takes place in epcot (the laser show) the cruise takes you along the boardwalk and then parks the boat under the bridge and you get a front row view of the show. The boat picks you up at one of the resorts...

same thing for wishes except you are in the other lake and you are watching the fireworks from MK.

10 person boat..I think it's $200-250. I can't remember. It's not bad if you get a group to split the cost. I did that in Oct. with 2 groups of Dis people.

I enjoyed it enough where I would like to do it again.

You poor thing!! I hope you getter better soon. It makes me crazy when you want to get up and go and you can't. I am a terrible patient. (I will however, never admit that to Bill!!!!)

We always rent a car -

you will love the freedom a rental car gives you!!!!

I TOTALLY agree with this. We use our rental car only during our last trip, except one MK day (since parking at the TTC then taking other transportation, etc can sometimes be even longer than the bus ride). But we LOVE having it.
