That's right! We will have to compare park days again! I think there is a photo op and Grey Goose meet calling our names!
How did you guess MK???Lol. MK and Epcot. MK is my favorite park and Epcot is Will's favorite. I was a little disappointed at first but at least we get to go on vacation AND stay at AKV (rented points).
So I'm thankful!!! We originally had ressies at CBR and then I "noticed" it would be the same amount of money if we rented points. So why not? Lol.

Words can't really convey how excited I am for you, so I thought I'd throw in some pictures from my May 2009 trip to show you just what's in store for you at the beloved CBR.
I can't get enough of that resort, I really can't.
And I'm super excited that you're going to see the parade. Actually, it's one of the things that frustrates me most about missing this year, I remember that from my childhood as well and I'd have to say it's one of my favorites.![]()
We are thrilled. I am thinking of all the things Chelsea can do after she goes to the beach and shops.
Even though she can't get in the water at a Disney beach, you can travel a very short distance one day, if you want, to get to one where she can play in the waves. She could have the best of both worlds - the beach and Disney World.
Or there are the water parks. Have you guys done Blizzard Beach and/or Typhoon Lagoon? She can get plenty of water fun in at those.
I'm so excited for you!
Chelsea should have struck a bigger deal with you, huh?![]()
I can just hear the MSEP music! I have never seen it but heard the music on DIS radio. I'm excited that we're going to see it too. I'm really curious about the fireworks show. I really love Wishes, so it will be hard to top that for me!
We will all have to compare notes later this summer.![]()
You know, we managed to combine WDW and a beach (the real beach!) You could swing out to Cocoa Beach too! Too bad we're not coming down at the same time!
Holy moly! I get busy for awhile and come back to the resurrected Disney Trip! Wow!!! And yay, yay, and triple yay!
I am already so excited to hear about your trip and stay at CBR, where I had my best ever trip to WDW!![]()
Congrats on the change in plans. Your post about the switch was too cute! And I can't believe that you were still holding onto those ADRs...that sounds like something I would have done too!![]()
If your heart wasn't at HH after all this time, I'd say this was the best move. And while no one else in your family seems to care as much as you where you went on vacation this year, I am willing to bet in years to come that Chelsea will be glad she celebrated her Sweet Sixteen at a place so near and dear to your family's heart!![]()
LMAO!!Our house works on a point system as well....KUDOS to Charles for getting some points! LOVE Chelsea's shrewdness.....she knows her mom well
Sillybandz are UBER popular here too...we have a sporting goods here called Modell's, they sell Disney characters, Tink, Princesses, NY Yankees and NY Mets bandz!!! I have been terribly far behind on your report but tit turns out I read the latest update and I am all caught up! HOORAY for CBR and MSEP!!

I just got back from visiting my nephews in MD, sitting in horrible traffic all afternoon and find that you switched back to Disney!!!
You're going to have such a great time at CBR.
So, have you worked on any plans this weekend?
Ahhhh, I just somehow knew you would end up going to Disney!!
YAY!!!!! Now I am doing a happy dance for you!!!
I laughed when you said that about the air brush shirts. We have gotten Hollie a few before and let her pick the design on them when we were in PCB. Well, one day I was joking with Chad and said, "Awwww, lets get one that says Chad and Heather forever! hahaha I wish I had taken a picture of his face!! He was like, UH NO!!!![]()
Yippee!!! I'm so excited you're going to WDW this summer! I shouldn't be this excited - you're going, not me - but I am!!!Can't wait to live vicariously through you! I'm still trying to convince my DH that we should buy into DVC so we'll HAVE to go to Disney at least every other year. It sounds so heavenly now!
Can't wait to hear more of your plans!
Congratulations on getting to see your parade!![]()
Hey there! I don't think I have posted over here before, but I have been reading along. I am so glad that you decided to go back to WDW!
I have a trip planned for this summer, but we aren't going until Aug. 18th, and I think MSEP will be gone then. I sure hope they have Spectro back. I was a little disappointed when I learned that we wouldn't be seeing the summer fireworks show, but then on the other hand I think I would have been heartbroken to not see Wishes!
When are you planning to surprise Chelsea?
Yay!!! I am so excited for you!I've been secretly hoping the whole time that you would change you mind and go to Disney!

congrats on changing (back) to disney!!!! i know you're super excited. i'm sure it will be a great trip!
p.s. charles sounds so much like ray. "whatever you want to do" drives me nuts!!!
Jackie!!!! OMG, I enjoyed reading your whole update about going to Disney! We stayed aat CB a couple years ago and we liked it. I hope you get a pirate room
haha, the airbrushed shirts remind me of Six Flags Great Adventure, lol and the Boardwalk, lol. I agree with you.. they are not for me at all, lol.
I'm back from our trip and soooo excited that you WILL be returning to WDW!!! I know you must be thrilled!!!![]()
for CBR! We love it there!
I totally agree on the airbrushed t-shirts. I do remember that when I was Chelsea's age, I had to have one when we went to Myrtle Beach. I thought they were great. I have since learned the error of my ways!
I am so glad that you are going to see the MSEP. I really am bummed that I can't go this summer. Our anniversary is in 3 weeks and my husband is wanting the new iphone if it comes out. I really would like to take a weekend trip from just the two of us to see the parade, but right now it looks too expensive since I really want to go with the kids at Labor Day if possible.
YAYfor a Disney trip this summer after-all! I'm so excited for you, Jackie. I know you really wanted this trip, so I'm so glad it all worked out for you!

For a disney trip.
We have park hoppers for the first time everwoohoo
so we're pretty flexible aside from the ADRs we have set. We'll definitely have to compare because I am not one to turn down a DIS meet or a Grey Goose slush!

May was a chaotic month with work and travel, so I fell pretty behind in my PTR/TR reading... I come back and you're going to Disney World!! So excited for you. Relaxing beach vacations are nice.... but they're not Disney.
Can't wait to read how your plans shape up now that you're doing DW again.![]()
Okay sweetie.....I go out of town for a few days for the holiday and come back to SUCH BIG CHANGES.................................FOR THE BETTER!!!!! I am so excited for you right now I can hardly contain it....giddy with giggles!!!!
I don't know if you have done this officially, but I think your next update should be a fierce recap of ADRs, reservations, touring plans, etc. from the original plans....just to remind us all of all the fun you are going to have!!!! (Like we didn't know that this would happen at some point.....hee hee hee!!!!)
I don't know if you have the capability to do this, but I would LOVE it if you could get a good video clip of our beloved parade to post on the TR...LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!
oh I am so happy for you. I was so worried you mind would be wondering to the world during your beach vacation that you wouldn't be able to enjoy it to the fullest. I have often thought the same thing about the prices at HH and VB. Just not worth it if you really want DISNEY. Glad that you kept those ADRS. Have a great time. Now I have t squeeze in some time to get to my TR. We've been ut of town for two weeks and whooo I am exhausted!
Hey Jackie! I am so happy you got your Disney trip back! Your plans so far look great. You have to be so excited!!!
No Teppan Edo!?!
Your plans sound fantastic.![]()
I know! We had to skip it this time to fit in the other places we want to eat. Charles picked Le Cellier and Tutto instead. Of course, he may not get his Tutto Italia, but he has probably forgotten about it by now.![]()
I'm really shocked he was okay with no Teppan Edo. Tutto sounds very yummy, it was in the running on my ADR list for September.
CP so excited for you! A trip to Disney. I'm terribly jealous that your getting to see the Main St Electrical parade. The music is my favorite of all Disney music. I had told my brother I'd be hitching along on his trip in August if I wasn't already going in October just so I could see it.![]()
Actually, I won't lie. Part of me toys with the idea of flying down for a weekend just so I can see the parade. How Disney warped am I?![]()
