Hi Frankiesmom, congratulations on your contract, would you like me to add you to our ROFR list?

 

[Laxmom]

Welcome aboard!! This thread has been terrific; full of support and terrific conversation to fill the time, as you can tell by the many, many pages.

Congrats, again, on your contract. Great contract!!! You have a question of the day to answer for today! Where will your first nonhome resort stay be?

 

[Frankiesmom]

Thanks all! HolidayRoad-yes please add me. Laxmom- well I would have to say AKL or BCV- which ever is easier to get! LOL We have stayed @ BWV 2x; and my DS's hate that scary clown!!! LOL

They have a class in Holiday Road! What a great college!! I know human resources. Holiday Road would be a way better class! I could pass that test.

Oh, FrankiesMom, you and I are going to get along really well!!!! LOL

So far, I would have to agree with you HR. The text book puts me to sleep!

Ed, part of "The Prince of Tides" was filmed in Bluffton, and parts were filmed here in Charleston ( Sullivan's Island, actually ). I, beleive it or not, have never visited HH to stay. But, it would be a nice easy get away, only about 1.5 hour drive. DS, Kristen, has stayed at HH before and may chime in with specifics.

Also, the BCV is brilliant, Ed. Gotta love the location!

Good luck Frankiesmom, on your contract! Very nice one!

Lets see...what to do while on HHI. How about....nothing!! It is so relaxing to just chill. We love to take walks on the beach early in the am or at night under a full moon. We always pack flashlights because you can see really cool little critters crawling around. Kids love to rent waverunners. There are excursions to Savannah or Charleston. You can go deep sea fishing, crabbing, boogie boarding, skim boarding, deep breath inserted here,.....play putt-putt, golf, tennis, shopping, or horsebackriding. The cool thing about HHI is that it is not touristy. No neon and it is hard to find a tshirt shop. The growth has been carefully controlled. Our biggest decision while there is pool or beach. Oh am I homesick......ok, I'm back. Sigh.

HR...way to go...always good to boost the economy!

Frankiesmom...congrats and welcome to the insanity. Just got done watching "Hairspray" which makes me think of Hollywood studios, which makes me think of my DVC, which makes me think "where the h#&& are my estoppel papers!?"

thanks for letting me get that off my chest. And vote for John!!! He's at 4,793 which is about 1,000 more votes today!!!!! Thanks everyone.

 

[Grandbuddy]

Thanks grandbuddy, and as an added bonus I now have my own Disney acronym. From now on I want to be know as HR.

 

[tammymacb]

Good Morning Sunshines!

One more day of work and then 5 more off....Hope this is a fast 12 hours.

I'm going to let another creative person do the Question of the Day Today since I'm still half asleeep.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[Laxmom]

Oh, I got one!!

What was the first Disney movie you ever saw?

Mine was Jungle Book. It was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre as a little girl and is still my favorite. When we were on our anniversary cruise last Sept., they were playing it 24/7 on one of the channels. I still know all the songs!!!

 

[minniekissedme]

Oh, I got one!!

What was the first Disney movie you ever saw?

I'm too old to remember that far back...my brain is kind of like that commercial with the egg being fried in a pan. I did watch Alice in Wonderland this week...that I remember.

At one point I was able to recite Toy Story word for word. My oldest used to watch that non-stop.

Anyone from Baltimore...we watched Hairspray last nite!!!

 

[Frankiesmom]

The 1st Disney movie I remember seeing; and it was in the theatre was Song of the South- you know the zippidydoodah song! I wish I could see it again; I was only 6 or 7? But I remember what fun it was!

I only stayed 1 night and all we did was swim and go to the beach, but I loved it. Congrats Frankiesmom for finding a GREAT contract!!

That is one Disney flick I have never seen. Have seen clips of that song though!

Give me a break, Minniekissedme! Think about it! Lady and the Tramp? Hawmps? Anything?

My oldest can still recite Toy Story word for word at 24!!

 

[disneymotherof3]

Good morning everyone!!! Congrats Frankiesmom on the great contract!!!! Good luck!!!

Good Morning Sunshines!

.

OK, question of the day: Which DVC resort that you are not an owner of, will you visit first?

My answer would be HH ( on purpose ) but I'm taking a June trip with no ressies thus far ( as I still haven't closed ) so I'm sure I'm going to be heading for OKW or SS. Both are fine with me, though.

I would have to say AKV. We think that the kids will really get a kick out of seeing the animals.

I can't remember. I do remember watching "Song of the South" with Briar Rabbit. I'm not sure if that was my first one though.

Anyone from Baltimore...we watched Hairspray last nite!!!

I am!!!!!!!! I used to live right outside of Baltimore in Odenton. We used to go down to the Inner Harbor all the time.

Glad I'm not the only one who remembers watching "Song of the South!" I remember watching the Wonderful World of Disney. I'm getting old just thought about how long ago it was.

Congrats on your contract Frankiesmom, looks like you got a good one!
