LOL!!! I like your wife and I don't even know her!!

You had to bring up the m-word, didn't you! I am working on my degree. I have 3 semesters left and I will have my BSBA after a 20 year absence. The one class that gave me fits was accounting 2! Got my first B - at least I passed.

Good, now we are going to talk about standard deviation...Stops my wife in her tracks.

 

[Laxmom]

Oh yeah, you can spell that one can't you!! I'll ask my DH what that is...hold on...

Congrats on your contract! I'm a HHI lover too. I have a question for you. How hard has it been to get into DVC HHI at the 7 month window for that time of year? We want to purchase points there and I am going to try and be patient for a great contract that will work for us but I just used 30 days worth of patience on a Marriott week that they ROFR'd at the last possible minute so I may be open to other suggestions.

I have not had a prob booking HHI at the 7 month mark - our "usual" trip there is in Nov - frequently hooking the election day holiday with the Veteran's Day holiday [I'm a state worker!] to make a longer vacation.

I booked the Feb overnite just a month before our trip since it was a last minute whim!

Oh of course, I knew what standard deviation was. Didn't everybody?

That is great news, pb4ugo. We would be traveling mostly off season but would be traveling predominately to HHI. I was torn about where I would want to own. I figured since we would be mostly going there that made the most sense incase our travel plans change at some point. We walked the resort when we were on HHI in Feb. and thought the resort was really neat. It would be a different type experience for us than our other ts vacations.

Do you think we would have much trouble booking something at WDW at the 7month window if we were flexible and still traveled off season?

 

[pb4ugo]

congrats...love the name!

By the way...what's a DINK?

Thanx! I adopted the name from a license plate that I saw one day up in Maine - it just brings back sooooooo many memories!

It's funny, my wife is on Disboards too. She used to be Holidayroad but after two or three years with something like 4 posts I took over. She loves to read but doesn't post much. Her name is "SomethingElse" that's because when I took over Holidayroad she was upset saying she was Holidayroad and that I just took over. I told her she had to be something else because I took Holidayroad and ran with it. So she developed her new name "Something Else". I actually gave her the HolidayRoad to begin with anyways. Now she will be horrified once she reads this!

We bought into DVC so that we could get out of the frozen wasteland of NJ every Feb. As govt emps, DH and I could link Lincoln's B-day and President's Day into the same vacation and have sufficient time to drive to/from and make the drive part of thhe vacation. That week of holidays is usually the last week before the dvc "season" changes and room points go up, so we feared the 7 month booking dilemna. Has wound up not being a problem - likely because we book into OKW rather than one of the more popular Epcot area resorts. Based on size, booking OKW and SSR are likely pretty easy to book at that particular time.

Over on the DVC boards the purchase mantra is buy where you want to stay! Especially for folks who are locked into restricted travel dates because of children in school. The 11 month booking window is critical for those guests. But since we have no children and both of us might be retired in a few months, our travel schedule will only be complicated by the needs of our aging parents and/or our siblings and the nieces and nephews.

Hi Laxmom, I see your here this morning. I just don't feel right unless I get to see a "Good morning sunshines " from Tammy. Oh well, maybe later.


22 days 20 hours 8 minutes and 41 seconds until I hit Route 95 heading south!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a feeling a lot of ROFR's are going to pass in the next few days!
