The NEW Official November 2010 Countdown & Planning Thread ~ Come join us! (Part 2)

[Mindy5767]

Ohh good point. I actually AM a paraplegic, and we will need to head to one of the accessible viewing areas. Last time I was in WDW was pre-spinal cord injury, so I had forgotten that I can't just view it from wherever like before. Thankfully it looks like there are some accessible viewing areas not far from Norway, so we'll just plan to head over there after our dinner.

My favorite accessible viewing area is just to the left of the Rose & Crown. When we were there in the summer of 09, we had my mother-in-law with us. She was in a scooter. We were delighted to discover this viewing area. We set my mother-in-law up in there, and then I played runner and went back and forth from the pub getting her her gin & tonic. It was nice that the whole family could sit there together. There was a cast member minding the chain that made the entrance. This cast member was a boat captain as they can't run the boats when they're doing the fireworks. We met some delightful people in this nice little section. There were several others, but my MIL liked this one because it was close to the pub.

Thanks, everyone.

I am excited! My ticker is 1-1 which means soon it won't have any months at all (as of this weekend)!

DH will be home for R&R soon, too! We have a paper chain hanging up and the kids are really into cutting a link down each night.

So all the way around, a good morning!

Oh, and this is my 1000th post!! Which could mean that I need to get some help since I joined in August and I have a full-time job...

Jessica - I'm sorry to hear about your DH's job situation. Not to minimize the situation, but I've heard more and more stories like yours where senior management makes these WACKED decisions that leave everyone DUMBFOUNDED. I really hope all the sincere prayers that we're all sending help!

My family got some sad news, too. My grandfather passed away Sunday. He was 90 and his health took a serious turn for the worse a week earlier. Thankfully, my grandmother is doing extremely well - she obviously prepared herself for this and truly believes he is in a better place. And she was exhausted, worried about him in the past couple of years as his demensia got worse. But we were very blessed to have him in our lives, and in our kids' lives, for so many years. We were planning to visit my grandparents at their new apartment in Winterhaven before we drove into WDW, but now we'll visit my grandmother and share happy memories!

On a completely different note, I received my $100 Disney gift card today for signing up with Chase Disney Rewards Visa as a DVC member!

After completing radiation treatments last week my mother's health declined drastically and last night she died peacefully at hospice.

So sorry for both of you and your families!! I will have ya'll in my prayers...

Looks like we're close --- ... Only have 1-1 left as well. I guess I missed the 1-1-1 Oh well just means we're that much closer.

1 Month and 1 Week to go.

Once you hit that one month mark, your ticker will feel like the time is flying. I cannot believe we are at only 23 days to go when (NOW) it seems like not long ago that it was six months to go! (Of course six months ago it felt like it would take forever for Nov. to get here )

I have a QOTD if that is ok:

What is your favorite place (park or resort) to see christmas decorations and why? We are looking for some christmas spirit this year as we will miss going to MVMCP.

Mine is the Magic Kingdom. Even if you're not doing MVMCP, there should still be some other nights when you can see it all lit up! DHS/Osborne Lights is my second fave!

Well looks like I will have to be taken off of the November countdown (we had a boardwalk view 2-bedroom to arrive on 11/28 for 5 nights). It was my youngest 2 sons' first trip and we were all so excited to be going.

Life (finances) got in the way and now we may have to either cancel or reschedule to March 2011 (which isn't that bad - just was so looking forward to Christmas decorations). I won't know for sure for another week or so - wish me luck everyone!

So far I would have to HS. However, we are planning to explore some of the others resorts this time to check out decorations. I really want to see the gingerbread carousel (I think it is at one of the boardwalk resorts) and the gingerbread house at the GF. I love gingerbread, can you tell?

Sorry to hear that you wont be heading out as soon as you hoped. But at least there is the possibility of making it out there in March.

Good luck

Good luck! I hope you get it all worked out. Have you considered staying at one of the value resorts? Would that make enough difference? You can always go camping! That is what we changed to when our finances got a bit tighter.

We aren't going to MVMCP, we just can't afford it for a family of 5. We went before and maybe will again but haven't for the last few trips. I know I will be a little bummed cause our firsst day is a MK day and the park closes at 7, but we are planning on heading over to do "Minnie" Golf so it should be OK.

Anyway QOTD-My favorite is seeing the castle all lit in the lights. To me there is nothing more beautiful. I do enjoy many of the decorations, all the little things like the wreaths and stuff are so nice, but the castle... love it!!!

I hope you can work something out so that you can still go and be there to see all the Christmas decor here is some pixie dust for good luck

I'm sorry to hear this. But good luck with the March trip!
