The Most Expensive Free Trip Ever - TR Link is Up! Pg. 164

I know, I know... about the October trip. I'm always thinking about going back! But for October, I'd really like to see MNSSHP. It's not starting as early in September this year. I had hoped it'd be started when we go in September. Oh well.

Yes! I totally so you juggle that time. Thanks Glen :thumbsup2 Keeps me from falling asleep over here. Business has really sllllooooowwwweeeed down :snail:

I'll definitely have that score up within a week. hehe

6 days till we leave!!!! (7 to arrive) :banana: The suitcases are out and I've already started putting some of the new items in them. We are so excited to be going again. I can't wait to see AKV!!!
 
So are you packed yet? Do the kids have finals when you are leaving?

Today was mostly spent doing this :laundy:, besides other chores and errands. I've started packing, but I think I'm the only one so far.

Yes, due to snow days Finals week is the week we'll be at Disney. My oldest daughter will have to take finals after we get back. They wouldn't let her take them early. She's not too happy about that.

I know! I know! I'm kinda bummed that we won't get to Kidani until mid-week. Hopefully we'll like Coronado Springs. It'll be good to see another resort, at least.

Poor her, I think that must be a bit of a damper on vacation if you know that you have to sit tests after you return... I hope she will be able to forget about it during her time at WDW or will she have to take revision work with her?

Hopefully we'll like Coronado Springs. It'll be good to see another resort, at least.

I will be really interested in your opinion about CSR! It is one of the moderates that really appeals to me and with the way the Euro is plunging down I guess my next WDW trip will not be at a deluxe resort!! :scared1:

I have always wanted to try all the resorts at least once but we somehow always end up at OKW. :rotfl: We've tried POR which I wasn't happy about at first. For that particular trip I wanted either Caribbean Beach or Coronado Springs but they were both booked solid. I always thought....why do we want to leave Louisiana to stay in Louisiana??? :confused3 That's why the 2 PO resorts weren't on our list. But.....WE LOVED IT!!! We were really pleasantly surprised.

Can't wait to see pics and hear all about your stay at CS!
 
Wow! I can't believe you're the only one who has started packing! Maybe everyone else is just planning it out in their heads so that by the time they actually begin, it will be perfect...right? That is so silly that your daughter has to do finals after she gets back. How did they sucker all those poor teachers to come back and administer them after school is out?? I too am interested in what you think of CSR because unlike flossbolna, it's the one resort I have very little interest in. To each his own, eh?:)

That is a shame but I think that most schools are like that. A few years ago when one daughter was in middle school she was sick on the day of some finals. I called up the school to say that she was sick and to ask when they were having make up tests. The two tests that she was suppose to have she didn't take as the teachers called me up that day and said don't worry about it.
 
What a bummer that she has to have that hanging over her like a dead horse at WDW!! Snow days are fun while they last, but sure have not so nice long term consequences.
 
Okay Glen. Are you ready? Here is my lastest score.......


This was the score I got on my first try: (me on the left)

Thanks for the sympathy! I think she doesn't have to take them right after we get back, so she may have some time to study here, after we get back.

I'm interested to find out my opinion too! I'll definitely try to put my thoughts into the TR.

I was thinking it'd be a good time to travel to Europe this summer with the way the Euro is going. Too bad we aren't planning a trip there.

I have always wanted to try all the resorts at least once but we somehow always end up at OKW. :rotfl: We've tried POR which I wasn't happy about at first.

What a great goal that is -- to stay at all of the resorts at least once. I'm hoping that we have an experience like yours, that we're pleasantly surprised. I'm going to try to keep an open mind!

Wow! I can't believe you're the only one who has started packing! Maybe everyone else is just planning it out in their heads so that by the time they actually begin, it will be perfect...right?

Well, it's not too hard for the kids to pack, just clothes and toothbrushes and stuff. Judy won't be able to think about it until Friday night, after she's administered her finals and submitted her grades.

That is so silly that your daughter has to do finals after she gets back. How did they sucker all those poor teachers to come back and administer them after school is out??

That's a good question! :confused3

I guess that's the beauty of all of the different types and styles of resorts that Disney has.

How nice of them! I doubt we'll get that lucky, especially being high school.

Yikes, I hate having dead horses hanging over me!

Okay Glen. Are you ready? Here is my lastest score.......

Okay, so I've got to beat 179,200. Got it.

This is going to be me on the pop gun:

Oh, now you're just rubbing it in. That's bad karma!

Best of luck!!

Do you really mean it?

Great trip report! We'll be arriving on the 12th after many, many hours in the car from NW Pa!

We live over in the Hermitage area about an hour north of Pittsburgh in my husband's hometown. I've lived all over the place, but mainly in Canfield, Oh...a little town near Youngstown, OH.


We did the drive the end of January and it really wasn't bad, with the exception of a crazy blizzard in NC and the stomach flu. The kids did really good....and I'm hoping that this time goes as smoothly!;) (without the stomach flu and the blizzard of course:rotfl:)
 
That is such a bummer about finals, ugh! Why she can't take it early is beyond me.

Next week!!!!!!!!! I too am curious to see what you think of CSR. I tell you, right now my budget brain wishes we were staying at a mod.
