[SRUAlmn]

I don't tyhink they are on the dining plan though, are they?

Oh! No, sorry! I don't think they are. We never use the DDP, so that didn't even cross my mind. Sorry!

I found some 'OLD SCHOOL' pictures of Juliana and Victoria.

This is the first time they met. At the hopsital.

Girls day out.

Seeing who could crawl first.

Already planning to terrorize their parents.

Adorable!

Oh I want babies!

 

[tinkgurl]

DW & I started talking a bit more about where we want to eat during our stay.... She says since I made ALL the ressies last time she wants to give her input this time. LOL

As long as I have my Kona breakfast!!!!! LOL

Tonga Toast! Tonga Toast!

 

[that's nice]

If you want to try something new, and if Juliana likes animals, the Rainforest Cafe at the Animal Kingdom has Tonga Toast on their breakfast menu

That's good to know. I didn't realize that they had it there!

Just spent the morning reading your last TR and I knew I had to be a part of this. Joining in.

Thanks for joining in.... I'm trying to finish up my TR too.

I just joined you. Why did I not notice this before!!!

Adorable!

Oh I want babies!

LOL. Here is 3 things you need to have when you have kids. 1. Patience 2. PaTiEnCe 3. PATIENCE

LOL

Aren't you a teacher? I thought teachers never want to have their 'own' kids? LOLOL

Tonga Toast! Tonga Toast!

That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!!!!!

 

[PopArtGal]

Yep. I want my own kids to raise them differently from the ones I teach to hehe

Me too! AMEN!

I have an AP, not sure if you've decided on that route (though it seems like it might be best to me) but here's some things you might want to think about with it:
1) You don't have to pay for parking if you're not staying on site (March ) That's a $12/day savings to factor in.
2) You can buy it at any time, they'll mail you a voucher (if you don't buy it at the Disney Store) and your year doesn't start until you activate it at the parks. Meaning, if they decide to raise their prices again in August this year again, get thee to a phone!

Oh...and Yankees?

I hope we are raising our daughter right... I think we are. (i hope!)

We were at the park yesterday and Juliana was waiting at the top of a slide.. there was a little girl taking her time going down. While she was waiting another little girl.. probably around 4 .. came behind Juliana and pushed her pretty hard. Before I even had chance to say anything, the mother that was waiting at the bottom of the slide for the little girl, still going down, scolded her(wasn't her kid). So then Juliana went down the slide and I called her over to me. I told her to stay away from the 'mean' girl, and that it isn't nice to push people. The mom from the mean girl could of cared less.

I'm still trying to figure out if the AP is my best option. There are a lot of different reasons for either the AP or a 10 day NE ticket.

Are you a Mets fan?

I don't know what Disney knows about me but I received more Disney mail today.

I got another postcard.. This time for the DVC. It's nice of them to put in the fine print 'Starting at $17,995' I can't see dropping 20K at this time. LOL I have some other bills I want to pay plus I'd like to pay off one of our car loans. (only 15 months left!!!) I wouldn't mind having this paid off by the end of this year.

I also was doing some more house research for our March trip. I'd like to narrow down the list to 10-12 houses. I started with 38 houses and now I'm down to 29.... still too many! That was about it for planning today.

On a side note it hit 92 here today!!!!! Man was it hot. Tomorrow's high is going to be 67. Much more like April weather. We've had a mini heat wave since Friday with temps in the 80's and 90's. It's always fun being in New England!

We felt the same way! I would LOVE to do DVC, but we just bought our first real house, and when I suggested the idea of DVC I thought DH's head was going to fall off Maybe in a few years??

Do you want help or opinions on the houses? If there are links that we could see, I'd love to see the choices Maybe we can help!

 

[AlohaAnnie]

DVC would be nice but we are also waiting for similar reasons. Maybe someday in the future. Just Disney Dreamin

I think we need to get our finances in better order before we jump into something this big. But as you said there is nothing wrong with a little Disney Dreaming!!! LOL

Yay! I love to look at houses! I should have been a real estate agent

Of those 3, I like #2 the best. They're all pretty similar as far as size and location, so I like #2 because it looks cleaner, newer, and is MUCH better decorated for a Disney trip. The others look a little like old-fashioned with their decor. (No offense to anyone who likes it! )

 

[maroo]

I agree!!! They all look great, actually!
But I would go with #2.

Have you asked the folks on the hotels thread? They may know each company?

Ugh, no! Phillies. But there are a lot of Yankees fans up in Rochester and I don't understand it (we're actually closer to Pittsburgh and Philly than we are NYC!) So I get a little feisty with the Yankees because I don't get why people around here are Yankees fans!

The nice thing about the 10 Day NE option is that if you don't use all the days, you have them saved up for your next trip!

 

[lizet313]

I agree with everyone else #2

 

[SRUAlmn]

(we're actually closer to Pittsburgh and Philly than we are NYC!)

Go Pens!!! My husband is a Caps fan. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks in our house

 

[tinkgurl]

I like house number 2!!

Thanks.. I'll post a few more. I do like #2 and I actually emailed the owner today to find out the price.... $1183 for the 8 days with pool heat, cleaning, and tax included! Not to bad.

I've been reading the hotels thread but there isn't much about houses on there. Maybe I should start my own thread and see if I can get any input.

Keep in mind there are Yankees fans everywhere!!!!

I was thinking if we had the AP we """maybe""" can take another trip next fall for FD before it expires! LOLOL (Don't tell my DW!)

I agree with everyone else #2

I have 26 more houses for you to look at!!!!!!!!

Go Pens!!! My husband is a Caps fan. It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks in our house

I used to love hockey when the Whalers were in CT. I used to goto 15 games a year. Ever since they moved I could care less about it. There is nothing like being at a hockey game!

I like house number 2!!

Keep the opinions coming!!!!

 

[that's nice]

Here are a few more houses from my list!
