The New,New Hotel Thread-Yes, We're STILL Waiting

[maleficentmom]

ttc?? Ticket and Transportation center??

ttc is short for "trying to coceive"(baby), sorry for confusion. but hey ,transportation and ticket center was a great disneyish guess..and a much more happy subject!

 

[maleficentmom]

Just something to think about! It took us 15 months total- from the very start of paperwork until she came home. Most of the children are abandoned so it is just a paperwork and court process. And, if you are open to gender the wait is shorter.
You also have the option of escorting or traveling to Ethiopia. pm me if you want more info!
Anyway, back to LMT hunt!

wow!

OK, so I have a Pedicure (a freebie from Herbal essence) at noon (W coast) and I am actually thinking of cancelling it so I can sit here and continue this madness....hm pedi or DW?????

I have the same dilemma... run my errands at lunchtime, or skip them to babysit LMT (again!)?

The pedicure can easily wait and you can run those erronds tomorrow.

Just for fun, I was checking around for rates for the weekend that I had wanted to win. Disney Moderate per night. LMT has the rate at $210, Hotels.com at $124 and Disney.com $119. Does anyone else have good sites that they usually check?

Help me please, i cannot wait until this is over!!!

We to have felt the anguish of ttc with no luck for years. I was blessed early on with a child (accident) with a man who had no wish to be a father. I have made the best of it and ds kept my sanity in check! skip ahead 3 years and I met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with (dh) and after marrying and settling into normal life decided to start building the rest of our family. We tried for 2 years found out I had PCOS. Started using clomid. Finally found out I was pregnant. Decided to wait to tell ds and dsd (his from his 1st marriage) both age 6 at the time until we were at WDW for a planned vacation. Got there told them they were thrilled. 3 days later was in terrible pain, went to hospital to be told pregnancy was tubal and it had ruptured. So had emergency surgery in Orlando while we were supposed to be having the greatest vacation!

I went into a great depression and dh can't stand to see me go through it again and decides we have been blessed with ds and dsd and shouldn't try anymore..... uhhhh can you say more depression!! A bit of times passes and we begin to talk about it again. Back on clomid. No results. An additional surgery to fix the tube that the ectopic pgy had messed up. No luck. Start talking adoption. We went through the entire process with the state foster/adoption program. Got our certification and was waiting for the call for a child. ONE WEEK later realized I hadn't had a period took a pg test.

As I sit here today I look at my 3year old ds and know that God wanted to MAKE sure we were ready for the commitment of another child in our life. He was a blessing and truly worth the wait. My children are 10 year apart. But very close!

It has been a roller coaster and I know I have cried myself to sleep countless nights wishing/praying/dying for a child. Every time I would start my period I would start crying. DH could walk in the door and know by looking at me that I was having a bad day.

Moral of the story is keep your hopes up. NEVER give up you never know when it might happen!

I am on the East Coast. I have been on LMT at the exact same time when others were winning and still had no video. I was following the 'rules' too...

help- I ordered Disney tickets from a discount place. they are 10 day park hoppers no exp. They just came in the mail. The tickets are printed on heavy paper. Is that right? Last time I bought Disney tickets they were on plastic cards

 

[ncmtnmom]

I find it VERY hard to believe that everyone has had 15 minutes worth of time to win throughout each day. If I have then they had to give out my whole 15 minutes during the 4 hours I slept!! I don't think so!!

What weekend are you trying to get? A mod for $119 these days is a rarity, especially on a weekend.

Are they rectangular with disney characters on one side? If so, then you should be fine. I think the only ones that are plastic are the ones that are tied to your room key.

Thanks I can't say I've completely given up. But, for my own sanity I had to get off the fertility/adoption roller coaster, know what I mean? We've done doctors and even tried adoption but the mom changed her mind last minute. It was heartbreaking but at least it wasn't after the baby was born. I'm afraid my DH is a bit scarred and bitter after that ordeal. There are three threads over there dealing w/ childlessness. One is a group who have never wanted children. They're a nice bunch but it's different because we wanted children so our feelings are different from that group. The other thread is for people who are childless not by choice but are still trying so much of the conversations are about latest treatments or adoptions or disappointments. My heart breaks for them all because I know first hand the pain but I had to distance myself from that because it will make you crazy. I became obsessed with having a baby and it wasn't healthy for me or my marriage.
Then there was this new thread but like I said, it's kind of dying. Another gal and myself were trying to keep it going but it's kind of hard when there are only two of you. It started out so good too.
Anyway, that's our story.

My heart goes out to both of you that have had problems with trying to conceive, etc. I somewhat know the pain that you feel with a strong "want". My story is a little different though. I have 2 boys at home now (almost 6 and 4 in April) however, it wasn't an easy journey. My first children Victoria is my little angel in heaven and she will be 7 on the 21st of this month--she was premature and passed away. My second pregnancy ended at 9 weeks due to a molar pregnancy (which was only 4 months from losing my first).

It was the most different time in our lives. My oldest ds was born 8 weeks early via an emergency csection fter being on complete bedrest for 8 weeks before he was born....then my youngest was full term but also on bedrest for 7 weeks....different times.....but we are strong and you have to hold onto hope...

No worries, those are correct. DO they have characters on the front?? Did you know that you can add these to your room key when you get to disney? Then everything will be on the plastic KTTW Key to the World card

I had no idea you could do that! Can you do it w/ APs too? I'd love to not have to schlep all those cards around if I didn't have to.

I"m glad to know you can add them the KTTW card! I have to buy tickets separate this time too.
Too bad you can't add dining to it! Then I would be set!

What weekend are you trying to get? A mod for $119 these days is a rarity, especially on a weekend.

I am looking for March 25th to the 28th or 29th. Thurs. & Friday were those rates. Sat. & Sunday were a little higher. We may change our weekend to just Thurs. & Friday.
