She is beautiful. I love how they talk at that age. So she loved it I am sure. My DS will be either 2 and 1/2 when we go(if we can get Nov '08) or he will also be 3 months shy of being three (end of January '09) We want a Villa so if we have to wait we are going too. He turns 2 in 2 weeks. I was wondering how he would do there being so young? Did your daughter do well? Did you rent a stroller or carry her and let her walk?

I went over to the "evil" thread and spent about a hour reading the posts to get caught up and I thought I would jump in because I like a good argument as much as the next guy. To be honest I'm not going to do it because my blood is boiling and I will say something stupid and get myself in trouble. A couple of things: First, I'm going to call her "her" is an elitist and call him, "him" is a know-it-all. Others are jumping in late and defending later posts by them without reading the entire thread, or they are in fact them, if I were you, I would simply stay away from the "no pixiedust" thread because you can't win. Judging by a lot of other threads "Her" gets involved in, she likes to sound like she someone really important and knows everything and likes to argue. As someone who has worked in the area of computer forensics and dealing with hideous people on the web in a law enforcement capacity (I am in no way saying that those two are like the people I deal with day to day) I see some of the little tricks being used by them two for far less sinister reasons, just simply to make themselves look better or that others are supporting their ideas. First, they definitely have more than one persona on this forum. If you check you will find that the same "people" tend to back them on all their posts on different threads, strength in numbers type of thing. Second, they both love controversy, "Her" wants to be looked up to as more important than she is and "Him" simply likes to be the authority on these issues. No matter what you say or do they will never, ever come back and say oh, you’re right. You have proven you point on their but unless you are willing to go in and create ten new persona's to back you up you will get nowhere. Lastly, especially "Her" just plain lies to make her point. She states early on she has "no dog in the fight" then comes back and talks about how basically every time an airline has gone under she had a ticket and got stranded, but that's not having a dog in the fight?? Then she goes on to talk about how she has flown more than anyone else on the thread well shes partially right since a lot of those other people aren't real. The part that got to me the most is where "Her" makes her little elitist comment about cheapest people and people with no loyalty then adds her little (lol) to her smug little dig. Anyways I just though I’d be better off staying off of there because I will start throwing out stuff I know I shouldn’t say and then I get banned and that would stink.

Love that pic!!!

When do the Christmas decorations go up? We did a Mouse cruise one year in early December and the decorations were up on the ship. It was really cool. I love Christmas!! DH and I are now thinking of doing our next small contract at VWL because we hear it is fantastic at Christmas. The plan would be to borrow one next years points for HHI and the next borrow VWL points for a stay there; we would stay eoy at each resort and only buy half the points we need. Still in the thinking phase.

Ditto what HR said. I read it too. I totally agree with you Tammy but don't dare start in there; I wouldn't stop. I, for one, don't know anyone who only flies 1 carrier and doesn't consider price to be important. Guess I am a cheapie and proud of it! I haven't found an airline that deserves my loyalty!! We fly where DH has FF miles; his company flies him 3 different airlines. Guess they are cheapies too! Ok....i'm done. And now you know why I didn't chime in.....sorry for the rant.

I'm back to my happy place....waiting for ROFR!!!

She LOVED it. I rented a stroller mid (ish) week, i was tired of carrying her. LOL I think it happened in Epcot.
She did very well there. It's funny what kids like and dislike, SHE LOVED the new Nemo ride in Epcot, (living seas to you and me) and HATED the Nemo show in Animal Kingdom. We should of have seen the Festival of the Lion king, oh well, next time.

Ed,

You're right. That woman is killing me. I made my point and I'm done with it, but it's wrong that she gets away with being ugly.

 

[HolidayRoad]

Can you believe it! It has been 3 DAYS and no word from Disney!!!

Just kidding! Good morning all. I wanted to share with you all the reason I bought into DVC.

This was the first time she saw the Castle!

Exactly! You can't place a $ amount on that.

Oh, I agree it's wrong and smug and elitist and all sorts of other words that you can't post but honestly that's how she gets her kicks.

We haven't been in 7 years!! I do think we will have to get there over Christmas sometime!!

 

[HolidayRoad]

HEY Holiday Rd we will be in MK on Sunday too! we have CP for breakfast but I would love to meet you!

We had Kona for dinner too but I switched it to Spoodlles.

I am letting the babies watch their favorite videos this morning. All 4 WDW sing alongs. They play in my head over and over! Mommy had a little too much celebratory wine last night! (3 glasses!) And so I am perched on the couch waiting for the Excedrin to kick in!
I used to be able to handle 3 glasses of wine! i told DH that I should either start drinking a lot more LOL or never drink. Since apparently I have 0 tolerance now!

Anyway our favorite time of year to go is late Jan. We basically have the whole place to ourselves! Just like we like it.

I will be in matching t-shirts with the rest of my immediate family and have a green Mickey paint chip pinned to my shirt, I will probably be running in slow motion towards the entrance, a la "Clark Griswold". If your looking for a physical description, well, my wife says when we first met I looked like a young Al Pachino however that was in 1986, now that I have abused myself with a constant lack of exercise, bad food and beer I'm a lot closer to Danny Devito, maybe a little taller, boy have to start running again, I ran in some 10K's just two years ago, now I'm a disgrace. I'll start again after Disney, I promise. But I digress, I will be with about ten other people my mom will be in one of those scooter things she is getting over a battle with Leukemia and she has had few heart attacks, so she needs some help. I know, I know, it's one of my pet peeves too but when people actually need those things it's tolerable. This trip was my idea one last big family trip to Disney as whole with the grandkids. Anyway if you spot me please come over and say hi!!!!!

Wally World Owner: They don't close FLorida.
LOVED THAT

Actually our last trip i needed one because I had just had a hysterectomy 2 weeks earlier. After that I will never look at the people in them badly again! GIVE THEM SPACE!!!! It was awful, howerer without it I would not of been able to join all 15 members of my family on our big Christmas trip....Yes think Christmas Vacation. We actually decided that Christmas at Disney was not for us after that.
You should go check out my blog. My guess is you will notice our family before we notice you. We kind of stand out a bit. We actually think it is funny. People look at us then the girls then back at us with this confused look on their face. I like to let them assume I get arround
Sorry you'll see what I mean!

I'm so screwed up that when we head out on our yearly drives to Disney, we will sing the Wally World national anthem and my 9yo and 10 yo know the words for those who don't know it, all together now, 1,2..1,2,3,4:

Who's the moosiest moose we know?
Marty Moose!
Who's the star of our favorite show?
Marty Moose!
M is for Merry, we're merry you see;
O is for Oh gosh, Oh golly, Oh gee;
S is for Super Swell family glee;
E is for Everything you want to be.
M - A - R - T - Y;
M - O - O - S - E.
What's that spell?
Marty Moose!
Marty Moose!
Marty Moose!
(Hyuk), that's me!

Question of the day: What is your favorite time of the year to visit the world and why?

Anytime that I can go!!!!! I don't care what month it is! I've been during Easter, the summer (although that was years ago), DH and I went in Nov. for F&W, and I went over Christmas when I was about 7 or 8. I have to say as a child, I didn't like going over Christmas. My parents thought it was a great "present", but my brother and I didn't like it. Waiting almost 2 hours just to get into the parking lot on Christmas day was not fun. We were too young to really enjoy the decorations and such. As an adult, I would like to go during the Christmas season, not Christmas Day, to see all the decor. When DH and I were there in Nov., they were starting to set up all the Christmas stuff, but they weren't "lighting" them.
