Cheeringmom just pm'd you back.

Here's a question for you guys. Thought I'd go to the pro's first, and if that doesn't work, I'll put this on the Resorts board perhaps.

Joe and I have made our double ressie's for POP and POFQ for 9/23j-10/3. Got our confirmation # for both. Sent the depost for POP and in a fit of "what the heck" sent a few hundred bucks for the POFQ to cover deposit and a couple of nights. We pay for everything in cash well in advance. Hate getting billed at the end of a stay.

Anyway, my question is if WDW offers a great deal, whether special room rate for value season, or perhaps another Fairy Tale package, what do I do? Of course, I'd want to take advantage of any fares, but will we have to cancel, get a refund and make a new reservation and pay again? Or do you think they'd just transfer any $$ to the new ressies?

 

[s&k'smom]

Rick I know this one! Last year when taking DD to WDW for her birthday we had a ressie with the disney club. I then bought an annual pass and changed the ressie. Because I had paid my first deposit with a check they refunded me. If I had paid by credit card (according to the CM in april of 03) we could have just switched it.

 

[RickinNYC]

Well, Joe and I paid the deposits with our debit cards, which for all intents and purposes, act as a standard credit card. Guess we can transfer (I hope!).

Whoa! I just skimmed through the last seven pages at lightening speed. I'm a little dizzy.

Sorry no color -- except for Lewski's who I know by heart. I need to leave the office in a few minutes.

Lewski, I think you'd agree that we would probably wait a bit before making any reservations? October is 7 months away. And I think you are on a budget like me? Do you have an AP. I don't. So, I was thinking three nights? Something like:

Friday night (10/8)
Saturday night (10/9)
Sunday night (10/10)
Fly home Monday

or

Saturday night (10/9)
Sunday night (10/10)
Monday night (10/11)
Fly home Tuesday

Now I know that DHB and TB have their families with them, and I don't want them to get in trouble, so if we could do just one breakfast with them that's great! (Although I'm hoping that DHB can sneak away one night to PI or DD with us. Of course it would be very civilized with no imbibing!)

Rick, do you have that Monday (Columbus Day) off? Be crazy! You and Joe come back down to WDW for a weekend and hang out with us family-less chicks! My motto for this trip is "Hey! you only live once."

Personally, I don't even care to do the parks commando style. Two park days is fine with me. I just am happy to get away for a weekend and catch some rays and have some adult conversation.

Trust me, I am very, VERY tempted. Unfortunately, one of the other major hold ups aside from work issues, is that we're going to Puerto Rico the month after for a wedding. Not sure if we can swing it $$-wise.

To answer a previous QOTD...my name is Axe'. Don't forget the '. Oh, and the "e" isn't really part of my name, just the result of a typo that stuck.

I won't tell you my last name but it starts with "M" and ends with "urderer."



Just kidding.......(or am I?)

Of course I am.......(but am I really?)

OK, OK, how 'bout if you just call me Dan?


Yes, I share a first name with the world famous Mr. Murphy!

 

[Lewski709]

Nope, I am in no rush. Budget? My budget has Disney in it all day long. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Yayayaya, the dates sound fine. Whenever....I am easy. I don't have an AP, but might by then or even better a FL drivers license. I have one of those actually, but it's expired.

 

[HuggaBaloo]

Um...I really was just kidding about that whole "Axe Murderer" thing.* Where is everyone today???

* Or was I?? Bwahahahaha

That's why we're...uh, I mean they're...such lonely people.

 

[ohanafamily]

Hi all, busy at work, just got caught up, more later...

 

[Bichon Barb]

Have you guys seen that new movie? "So I Dis'ed with an Axe' Murderer"?

I'm back. I had the pictures developed that I took of the house down the street and sent them off to my parents via Priority Mail. The house is really small, and needs some cosmetic work, but I think it might be doable.

Where you been HB? Chopping lumber? Sharpening your weapon--I mean tool?

Lewski, I'm going to send you a PM with my phone number in case ya wanna call me sometime.

Just got back from my big shopping trip. Got a lot done.

No ressies yet. Getting ready to call Daniel's school to get the news. Have you check SW flights yet? They are always cheapest for us.

As far as your earlier question, we will be doing a 1/2 day thing with you guys. Brunch, a few rides and then we'll head back to our resort for the babies to get naps. There we will reconnect with the family. I'm sure there's a good chance we will bump into you guys again somewhere, but as far as a meet, we will only be able to do the one.

I'm gonna finish catching up and get Ella down for her nap. Back in a bit.

Hey everyone.

Back from shopping with [COLOR=FF66CC]llebrekniT[/COLOR]. Bought Daniel's birthday gift. Paperback copy & DVD of "Holes". Have you guys seen it? He likes it, obviously.

HuggaBaloo, did you ever hear anything about that job? When are you planning to move? What is your new address/phone number gonna be (just so I can give it to the authorities)?

Lewski709, that sounds like a great rate! Is it a non-stop flight??

Do tell about the job? When are you moving?

Yes, non stop. And from my sucky experience with them in JAN (cancelled flight no one advised us about and rescheduled for 3.5hrs later) I have a $50.00 credit. So it would be a round trip flight for less than 100.00.

Where you been HB?

It's been an interesting week. You know how I've been waiting impatiently to hear back on this job I've spent hundreds of dollars to interview for? Well, the recruiter called me Monday to tell me they decided to go with someone else for the position. Of course this totally bummed me out (yes, Rick, I said "bum" ).

BUT (yes, Rick, I said "but(t)" )...she followed that news by stating that they all had a meeting last Friday and, based on my meeting with the VP of HR two weeks ago, they felt that I would be a good candidate for this other position they have. After she told me what the position was, I was more than a little .

See, it's like they took part of the job I interviewed for previously and made it into another position. BUT...this position is apparently a contract position that is expected to last only about 6-8 months. The recruiter then told me they would like me to go back down to Atlanta Thursday (today) to interview with someone else (their CIO) since this job would have to work with his area directly. But then she called me Tuesday night and said she was wrong and that the interview was actually Wednesday. So, off I went to Atlanta yesterday for yet another interview.

I think it went well, and I am very interested in this new position, but I'm just ready for this to come to an end. I feel like it's been dragging on for so long now. Also, I didn't even know this other position existed until Monday when the recruiter called to tell me I didn't get the first one. What's weird is I feel like the fact that I had certain skills they were looking for for the second position actually hurt my chances of getting the first position. It's hard to explain without going into all the boring details. Oh well...

So, I've kinda been on an emotional roller coaster the past few weeks and especially this week. Also, DP and I are trying to get everything ready for the big move (but I'll start a new post with that info).

Oops, I forgot to ask a QOTD:

Do you have any recurring bad dreams/nightmares?

I have a few. One always happens before trips where I don't have the plane tickets, I've lost my ID, forgot the flight time and missed the plane, left the plane tickets/park passes<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/5/5_3_3.gif' border=0></a> at home, stuff like that. My other is tornadoes.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_4_38.gif' border=0></a> I have the most vivid dreams involving tornadoes. Often times I will be holding onto one of the kids and they are swept away. Or just as the tornado is about to hit the house, I wake up. Sometimes when I wake up I'm in tears. Wonder what they mean?<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_6_3.gif' border=0></a> Anyone care to analyze me?

 

[Lewski709]

Sorry HB we've been wondering where you were. You're gonna hear back real soon, I promise.

Recruiter you say? I need a recruiter for the area, can you share?
