It would be sad to not go to the Poly since you were looking forward to it - but I think that a cheap WDW trip is better than NO WDW trip.
will allow for! 
How about you NC? Any imaginary WDW trips floating around? Or are you going to suprise us in March or April again?
Here is my imaginary trip to WDW....
I would go with DH, just the two of us. We would stay CR, CL with Magic Kingdom view.
We would of course go at a non-peak time, whatever that is, I just don't know anymore.
We would walk to Magic Kingdom. It would be sunny and crisp. We would be chosen to ride the train one morning with all the characters. We would get to throw out pixie dust to the crowd.
We would then head over to Fantasy Land while listening to the music on Main Street and smelling the food in the bakery.
There would be no wait at Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, or It's a Small World.
We would then head over to ride Space Mountain. Not much of a wait, but walking slow enough to enjoy the que. Then off to Buzz Lightyear, and I would get a high enough score to be a galatic hero.
We would then ride the elevator up to Astro Orbitor without anyone who smells funky. I would soak in the view of WDW on this bright sunny crisp day. Then we would dash over to Frontier Land for the wildest ride in the wilderness. Next, we would ride Splash Mountain wearing our ponchos and not get the least bit wet.
After that it would be time for brunch, so we would hold hands and walk over to Cinderellas Royal Table for a lovely time. (This would be how it was in the old days, when you could still get a breakfast ADR for 11:30.)
Well, I am not sure this is an imaginary trip. I think it may be a dream trip!!
We are definitely trying to do WWoHP when we are there also. I am pushing for another 10 day trip also. But my aunt/uncle/cousin are only doing 8 days.
Bob and I may try to just have a few days alone after they leave. We'll see how much pixie dust my already very tight budget
I am trying to do both Halloween parties at least and Bob wants to golf. So adding that onto the Universal tix AND trying to stay a few extra days - Yikes! We'll have to see......
My experience in the Mods
CBR - My fav! Very beachy, fun, relaxed - but big and time consuming to travel throughout.
POR - Relaxing, beautiful, peaceful - but the bus situation sucks. Having to share with POFQ definitely slows it down.
POFQ - Jo loves it. My aunt hates it.
CSR - My aunt loves it. Shelly and Mari are definitely NOT fans of it.....
Hmmm...... I don't think I helped at all.

Love it! 
Wow that does sound like a dream.
It's just miserable when you see your baby not wanting to go to school.
I hoped things would have gotten better by now. I know, it's tough. Hang in there. 
I'm sure it will be fine. I hope that you have an easier time with them than Kait and I did. Busses for other resorts coming 2 or 3 times before one would finally show up for us, buses being so packed with people that they would just not even stop.... Stuff like that.
I don't mean to freak you out about the busses Shelly.
I know that *going* to the parks was usually pretty fine. It was just leaving the parks where I would find a lot of problems.
Hopefully it was just bad luck and we had just missed one or something.
PLUS! Nov should be a slower time of year to go - so you may have better luck.
It was you that inspired my top 10 list! 
We're not going to decide until tomorrow about that. But she'll be missing picture day at school. That's never happened to us! Anyone have experience with that??? I called yesterday early afternoon to request their work from their teachers and none of their teachers contacted me. I guess maybe that's just how the public school rolls? If this had happened at our private school, one of their teachers would have brought their work over to our house! 
Thanks everyone for the concern and well wishes for my DDs. They are both still home today.
I took DD7 to the doctor yesterday and he said he saw no complications from the influenza...ears looked good, lungs sounded fine, throat was fine, etc. I wonder a little about a sinus infection, but he wouldn't diagnose that (yet).
He said she should be getting over it in the next couple of days and that he hasn't seen many cases of the flu lasting more than a week. Her temp is down today, so hopefully it will stay that way (it has fooled us before) and she can go to school tomorrow.
DD10's temp is still high today, so she's a no go for school tomorrow and may be the deal breaker for the Halloween party.
DD7 said yesterday that it felt like summer because they hadn't been to school for so long.
Has DD10 seen the doctor also? He just had them taken on the make-up day. 
And hoping DD10 gets better in time for the party...
for Monny's DS not wanting to go to school...poor lil' guy...this too shall pass...
