Just (oof) (grunt) lifting the thread further up the board, so it won't be hard for my buddies to find!

Is dvcnewgirl gone yet? I think she left yesterday but I'm not sure. Tammy has to be close to heading out, too. Are you still here Tammy?

Kris left this morning. She's at the Hyatt Airport today, and she said she posted what a wonderful relaxing day she's having. She checks into AKV in the morning.

I'm here, at work 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow and then off to Orlando at 4 am. We can't wait!

We were wanting to stay somewhere off Disney property on Saturday when we go in January because Saturday uses up sooooo many points. Seems like a great idea to stay right at the hotel airport in Orlando.

I had posted or thought I had.. what a great day I have had.. then I checked back and it never posted. It was so nice flying in and not having to rush around. We got checked in went and got our bag, swam and hung out by the pool, went out to a nice dinner and now we are in the room relaxing. So we can wake up and head to AKV. fourkids I would do this again in a heartbeat, It was a GREAT start to our vacation. I have the rental car ready for pick up in the AM and off we will go. I got this place for a steal off of hotwire so it was a great way to save points and $$. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We stayed at the Sheraton Suites at MCO on our last precruise stay. We got it thru Priceline for around $50 a nite. If you check biddingfortravel.com you can get an idea of what the airport hotels will go for. Just select 3star or higher - they are all really decent hotels.

Hi Lax...minime here!

Hey Minnie/Bob. We just got back from Cory's funeral. It was actually very nice - lots of stories and laughter. Then we all went to grab a bite to eat. It was great for the kids to be together and relax.

Starting with a cold or something. I can't decided if it is allergies or not; sore throat, stuffy nose and headache. It is the exact same thing that I got when DH's Dad died. I think I am going to hit it shortly.

Tammy, I hope you have a great trip if I don't get to connect with you tomorrow!!

 

[minniekissedme]

Good to hear Susan...sounds like everyone is getting back on track. Hope you feel better, too. Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Take care of yourself Susan, in situations like this people tend to worry about everyone else but themselves and then you end up sick. Remember your no good to anyone else if your ill, try some Echinacea I know a lot of people that take it during stressful times, even during trips to Disney , helps your immune system because stressful times like this tend to cause your immune system to crash . Just so you know your still in our thoughts and prayers.

Agree with HR, be sure to take care of yourself.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

Amy- Yes, I'm a nurse.

I was a labor and delivery nurse for 15 years and just moved to the ER. It's been quite....interesting!

One more day and off to BWV. I hope to get on tonite but I promise lots of pictures when I get back!

 

[dvcnewgirl]

Thanks! I just realized I did not bring my camera when I read this.

Ok, DW wife and I are now actually embracing some hope that Disney will exercise ROFR and void our contract. Why? We can't stand the delays, and we've done the math. By the time all costs are considered, and we add in the additional $1,500 we will spend in housing and car rental if we don't get our DVC reservation for our fall trip, we could get a 160 pt. contract direct through Disney (making our fall reservation a contingency for the deal), for only $3,000 more than the 120 pt. contract we're doing through resale. Essentially, that's doing a 40 pt. add-on for only $75 a point! We didn't want to jump that far for our first purchase, but the waiting is agony (and we haven't even gotten to Estoppelville yet), and if we don't get our fall ressie, we essentially through that money out the window! Are we nuts? Anyone ever gotten to this point? YIKES!

 

[Laxmom]

I understand what you are saying. We have a precruise stay at a TS in Orlando over Labor Day. It would be nice to use our points and not have to pay twice - know what I mean? But, seriously doubt anything will be available once we close. I will still check but I don't hold out much hope.

You may be able to back out at this point but you would lose your deposit. I would call your agent and ask, what have you got to lose?

 

[Laxmom]

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Don't get me wrong, it was a hard thing to go thru. They had an incredible picture of him, a huge framed and matted picture, playing lacrosse. With his sticks & helmet beneath it and his jerseys draping the corners. But it was terrific to listen to the happy memories and the pastor really helped with his message. The team's first game w/o Corry is on Tuesday. That will be tough.

Now that you mention it, I got sick like this in Feb when we lost Greg's Dad and Step Dad. They died 3 weeks apart. Same symptoms, pretty much. I have homework to do but I think I will just get a lot of rest.

Have a great day, guys! I'll check in later.
