Hey Channing, get chatty!! You are only 3 posts away from 4000!!!

 

[ClareH37]

Yes, as Heatherlynn said first come first serve....they are great. We spent several afternoons there while DD8 played in the sand. Very peaceful.

Sounds wonderful

 

[Tink rules]

Yes early May is pretty quite

I'm glad since I'll be there the beginning of the month!!!

I can't really remember ever seeing anyone using those either.

In fact the beach itself never seemed crowded when we were there last summer.

27 days to go... why does work seem to get so bad when there is a vacation coming up?

Hello,

I've read many posts (awhile back) where some of you were discussing purchases made on the ubiquitous online auction website. I've been looking at a few things and would appreciate info regarding which seller's items were of the high quality you would expect. I do remember one post in particular with reference to a 'not quite as cute as it should have been' Eeyore dress (maybe it was a skirt). I'd really like to avoid a situation like that.

Please feel free to PM me, as I would not want to have anyone feel like they must do this 'publicly'.

Thank you for all the fantastic information. Now that we're going to finally have our Disney Dream vacation at the GF, I want to make it as special for DD5 as I'm sure it will be for me and DH.

I will PM you.....

I think you are referring to that infamous ugly flame retardant Eeyore clown skirt I wound up returning.

I had some good luck with my Ebay items and some not so good to down right AWFUL.

[Tinkaroo]

It sounds like a lot of us will be there in early May!

The time can't go by fast enough....

I'm down to single digits! Just in case my silly ticker flops out again, it's eight days until my first WDW trip!

It's 50 days for us and I can't wait I need to start doing this so I have summer clothes to wear or it'll be this

 

[allisonswonderland]

I am so excited I could just burst and I knew I could share that excitment with all of you... I just got my DME stuff in the mail today... my visit to the GF is not too far away! In addition...I just "requested" a Wedding Pavilion View...we will see what happens. I am just so excited to be going to Disney I can not even tell you!

 

[mr.mike]

We just received our DME tags too!! Have them hidden from the kids since the trip is secret.

I really cant wait to get there. I need to hear that lobby music, hear the MK train in the distance, see that monorail whoosh by, and watch those fireworks!!!

You are a short timer!!!! Oh these are the best days..right before going to Dis! I bet you are soooooo excited!!!:wizard:

 

[Tink rules]

Just an update... I am, believe it or not... 32 days away from leaving for what I've named... THE GRAND TOUR!!!

We are going to the GF for 4 nights then the 15 nights on the Disney Magic through the Panama Canal and then 5 more nights at the GRAND CALIFORNIAN at Disneyland!!!

Excited is still not here yet... I'm more worried about how I fit 24 days worth of everything into 2 large duffle bags and only 1 box that we are allowed to bring!!!

Hopefully I will have my laptop with me and will do a TR...

Oh.. and we have over 400 DISer's on this cruise!!!

 

[tholczer]

Thanks Tinklvr64!

Allisonswonderland, Mr. Mike and Tink rules - hope the time goes quickly for you! Have a great time.

Wow - now THAT is a dream vacation!!!! I will be eager to hear all about it! Good luck with packing!

So, I haven't been over to the DCL forum recently - are they letting people ship boxes again? It sounds like they had put a stop to that - was that just misinformation? (Although I can only imagine how many boxes they must have been getting!)
