. Booked another day
, so now I have the Tues. before T-day, Wed, T-day and Friday. Baby steps
one day at a time!
, within a couple of mins. Wow, what a big difference so far. This is great...except now I won't have time to get another cup of coffee while a new page loads.
That's what I would do!!
So what did everyone do last night while the boards were down? I decided to finally start organizing all my photos on the computer. What a mess that was. It was worse than cleaning the house.
Wow, organizing before the New Year
Mmmm, my mom does that, I love her split pea soup, oh and you have to have croutons in it, yum!.
Good mafternoon to you too.
on the bike. It's been too much fun.
Tech Gods that made the board faster!
Can you do the AP thing at the hotel desk that sells regular passes, or does it have to be guest relations at DTD or one of the parks? ANd finally, can I call MS at DVC and order them if I decide to do it ahead of time? WHew! That's a lot. Did it make any sense? ANy help would be appreciated. 
She is now looking for a bike carrier for a Mini Cooper. I told her she needs a car carrier for her bike, since that is such an itty bitty car.

Toooo funny!!! They really ARE tiny tho. )
I have loved my Toyota Sienna minivan for 4 years, and would have just kept it, but at 16 miles to the gallon, it just seemed irresponsible to me. The Highlander will get nearly twice that much, which makes me feel a whole lot better about it. (I rationalize spending money very well, don't I? )
It just doesn't get any better than that! Well, unless we could add, say, a trip to DISNEY!!!
Ah, well, maybe in '09... Has anyone here done a Disney cruise over Christmas? I was wondering about the weather--too cold? Maybe next Easter? Guess we'll have to see. I feel naked not planning another Disney trip! (Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to suffer through planning for Scotland...!!!)Good mafternoon to you too.
Thanks for the
We even got DM(75)one for her Christmas too. When DH pulled it out of our bedroom on Christmas Day she looked to me like, here's your bike!. Funny thing was it was hers!
My Mom is way cool for her age. I "hooptied" up her bike for her with a bell, a horn, a cool detachable basket(she lives 10 blocks from a weekly farmer's market) and TireFlies-the raindbow lights that spin colors when the wheels move. I told her we were going for "crazy lady of the block" when she rides around. She had never gotten a bike for Christmas-check something else off the "bucket list".

Well, I gotta get back on TGM to finish planning for June and December '08.
Check in later.
Love the bike thing! Your mom sounds, great! Question TKM??? Hey ya'll!
wow! ya'll have been chatty. Glad to know we're faster. I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell a big difference with my ancient computer.
My main question with the APs is whether you ordered them ahead and got the vouchers or got them on site. Did you like the way you did it? Yesterday we got a Disney Rewards thing saying the had a program where you get 5X the point in Jan, Feb & Mar. I could rack up a lot of extra pts by putting Aps on there. Was thinking I should go ahead and purchase before we go so I can transfer pts to reward card before we go.
I purchased them when I was there at guest services in the parks. That was late 05, so check on the DVC, site or call MS you know they change things all the time and for some reason I believe that you can purchase them at the desk at check in now. I know if you want to renew them, prior to expiration you can do so over the phone. I would charge them if you can get the extra pts., but when are you going?? You don't want to purchase AP passes months in advance since they do expire every yr. and not get use out of them. Hope this helps, anymore questions, just ask
Hey, TK'ers that were on before shutdown, did we go out as the lead thread???
I missed the Scotland thing? Who went? did you wgn? . It's to early for me to not get it I thought I was all caught up.Okay,
. How nice about the new car and trip to Scotland you go girl!! Same here, I'm not getting notifications about new post, and I hate to say this, but when I click to post it is starting to take long again
, you know go get a refill from the Kitchen as you wait. Wondering if any of you were on this morning and on tonight are noticing a difference??
Love the speed on here now, but they seem to have lost all my subscriptions! I had NO notifications of any posts on the Dis, even here on TK (and obviously there HAVE been quite a few posts!
So, 2008 is gonna be MY YEAR! New car. Significant weight loss. Walking program to increase stamina. And best of all, a trip to SCOTLAND!!!!!!!
So now here I sit, catching up on the Dis, and then I'm gonna finish my book--Rhett Butler's People. It's the authorized novel based on Gone With The Wind, that tells things from Rhett's perspective. It's really good! If any of you are GWTW fans, I'd highly recommend it. It's probably best if you've read or seen GWTW, since it refers to stuff often, but you might do OK reading it even without knowing the story of GWTW.
We went to Ireland in 2004, and it was not as much fun to plan as a trip to Disney! No friendly message boards, for one thing. I had to rely mostly on books and a travel agent who was horrible (never again!) The trip itself was awesome, however! ) I'm not sure about getting them at the front desk, but I believe that you get a discount if you're a DVC member, so if you are, then definitely order them from there.
We were 4 screamy girls in the back row. My friend and I kept clinging to each other and watching the movie with our hands over our eyes peeking through our fingers. I don't do scary movies but this was a bonding, funny moment. None of us expected this. We didn't do the research on what the movie was about. 
What we do for our kids. 
And to think you have to suffer through planning that trip. Seriously, hope you have a great time planning what sounds like a wonderful vacation.
Congrats on the new car, weight loss, and trip to Scotland!
congrats from me too 
I will have to hold WDWChristmas '08 trip over her head till she agrees to take me along on her next trip. Can't wait to hear details !
me too!! I was given that book years ago. I actually liked Alexandra Ripley before she wrote this. Mitchell is a tough act to follow. I enjoyed all 800+ pages. Not an easy beach read because of the weight of the book. I have a (some outrageous speed) bike hanging in the garage and quit riding because leaning over and looking up gave me terrible neck pain. I guess everything comes full circle. TGM stands for TourGuideMike. I subscribed to www.TourGuideMike.com to plan our trip. He is a sponser on the Travel/Planning Board. I used him years ago, and since I am "responsible" for another family's first trip to WDW I decided to check out his advice. My only concern is that so many people use him that maybe his "hints" are becoming too well known-thus negating the advantage. I guess we'll see.
hopefully they'll fix it. i wonder if we have to subscribe again.
and plan to go back in Dec, so I need to go ahead and do it if I'm going to do it in advance. Got my notice about 5 x points in the mail yesterday. Love the bike thing.
I know about the "It's my birthday" buttons and the cakes you can order. Planning on doing those. Is there anything else?
I had the same problem. Keep getting kicked off. Maybe they are still fine tuning some stuff.
Chef Mickey at the Contemporary gave us a cupcake for breakfast. The Coral Reef brought us out a fancy dessert with Happy Anniversary written in gold on chocolate. It was beautiful. You can also order stuff. We just didn't have it in our budget.
And about your birthday question, if you eat at the coral reef (don't know if you made all you ADR's already), the last time I checked, you can have a diver hold up a "Happy Birthday" sign. I think they also did personalized menus. I had planned to have it done for my mom back in August but I'm sure you could find more up-to-date info on the resaurant board. Oh yeah, at the time I booked it, they were both free. Ok, maybe I won't sing and spare everyone else. 
I truly feel sorry for her. And I only hope one day she can open her eyes and grow up a little.
Nothing like the sight of a middle-aged man dancing to Disco Inferno being cheered on by 2 other(other thanDD) 10 year old girls.
