Totally. I have a few sellers I always buy from. Once I got 20 pins for $40! 
I love to pick them up here and there. Do you pin trade and collect?
Thanks for the tip, that's good too know. Last trip we got to the point that the kids would trade with each other. 
I saw your daughter wearing a lanyard in your trippie; does she love to trade? 
Did you find some good deals? I have found the old holiday pins sell for pretty cheap.
I love getting pins from ebay!
Ok, so I love buying anything from ebay..
They price match everything!! 
So she was on a quest to get them all by trading.
Danielle has 3 lanyards with pins, one being the Dream Lanyard we got in 2007. In the past we pretty much just bought pins. This trip she caught the trading bug. I haven't gotten to it yet in my TR but somewhere along the line she started collecting the princess babies. Mind you I could have just bought the whole set for a lot cheaper but what fun would that be.
I love watching them, so intent, on finding a certain theme of pin. Last trip Joshua was into the Pirate pins. Chloe vacillates between Pooh and Chip n Dale (she's loyal like her momma) 
Gabby likes Stitch best but did go through her Princess pin phase a few years ago. 
Thankfully my flight is at 6 pm. I can't imagine being in the airport trying to score my beloved SSR/THV. 
17 days until AZ/Vegas!!! 
51 days until So Cal!!! 
51 days until DVC ressie!!! 
178 days until Mexico!!! 
210 days until ADRs!!! 
389 days until THV!!! 
anyways I here now and ready to blether . I think probably the DDP isn't for you Jenny but to be honest I'd rather set my hair on fire that cook on holiday, toasting bagels and pouring our cereal is as close as I get
...you're making me anxious though with this not packing thing
, you do realise if I lived nearer you'd need to get a restraining order out to stop me coming round to your house and doing it for you 
No I arrive on the Thursday have MNSSHP till midnight on Friday then race and after party till midnight on Saturday plus other things inbetweenIs the race the next day?
You'd be most welcomeWOW Jo your trip is very close
Oh man I have been totaly pants this past week, I've had to read up on 5 pages
I don't know what has bitten him? 
WOW Jo your trip is very close
That's a good idea! No I arrive on the Thursday have MNSSHP till midnight on Friday then race and after party till midnight on Saturday plus other things inbetween
You'd be most welcome
So funny how we are all so different. I think Jenna wants to do the DDP for part so we'll do it while in the THV and not in the 2 bedroom. That will give us 4-5 nights on the DDP. But Michael is driving me insane. he wants to do 5 nights with Jenna et al and the rest separately as far as rooms go.
Oh man, I'm all for showing SOME interest and enthusiasm but "Hey MickeyBoy, planning is a Jenny thing....hawns aff!!!!" I think Big D would be to full of the fear to give this much input
How's the job hunt?
Total pants, the government has just announced that the unemployment figures are the highest in 5years and there are way too many people going for too few jobs. My job share partner is pregnant so at least I have the chance of working FT from Feb for a year but that's only going to get me to Pop and you know me I need a little fabulous, is that so wrong?!?!?!?!
Psycho Kirsteen strikes again
NoThe race is after the party, at midnight?
The race is at about 7pm with a party at AK afterwards till midnight
hmmm you say that but I think I would be as welcome as Monica in the episode of Friends where Ross has the clarty girlfriend and she wants to clean her flat
Love Friends!!! And Ross and Rachel- love their dynamics! No
I want a full report (lots of pics, minimal words). 
But now that you've experienced OKW, it will be had to go back. Disney knows what they are doing. You could always check the DVC rent/trade points board. Folks get desperate all the time. I have seen points as low as $7 a point. 
Friends never gets old
Kirsteen, maybe your job share lady can get knocked up again so you will have a fulltime gig, just saying.
I know you want fabulous but isn't the Pop heavenly?
I don't know that I could work continuously FT for my present employers as they have made a few people redundant and the rest of us are being piled up with extra duties...they're taking the pi$$ big time
I did like Pop but I don't think I could do 14nights there. We absolutely loved OKW so I may look into your suggestion though I'd need your help because I haven't got a scooby about points etc. Thanks for the heads up doll
Economies bad or not, taking advantage of employees under the guise of the economy is bull ca-ca! 
They know they have us by the big ones. I will totally help you. We can look for someone with use or lose points.
I just found out that I will only have 350 points available to me for our 2010 trip. You can only have 3 years points in play at a time; banked from the year before, current year the trip is in, and then borrowed from the next year. This really messes me up. Hmm...................... The trip will have to be significantly cut down unless I figure something out. 
16 days until AZ/Vegas!!! 50 days until So Cal!!! 50 days until DVC ressie!!! 177 days until Mexico!!! 209 days until ADRs!!! 388 days until THV!!!
Oh no about the points, maybe you need to buy some more
I would love like 100 at GCV. I have a few ideas about the 16 points. Need to get with Jenna. I could always rent the 16 from another DVC member. Oh and Tony's had better be good I've booked it for our December trip thanks to your recommendation
Nothing like a little pressure. We love Tony's. really. The portions are HUGE and their meatballs are delish! Service has always been good. Even their steak was one of the best we've had. Their baked ziti had so much yummy cheese.
