DSs GF She is a the last last minute add - on to our trip. Has only been to Disney once ( just like DS) many years ago. Is sooo pysched to be going back! Of course the fact that she is with her BF makes more Magical!
Ok So here goes... I know I cannot compare to some of the reports on the Board. ( They keep me up all night!!........... Between the reading and the Laughing I cant sleep!
Well last year when I returned from my trip. I wont even mention it as it was kinda ummmmm , (Nice, no thats not the word. I cannot even describe it. I had a great time but it was marred by some of the members of my company.) Nuff said. Well with that done I decided I really really wanted to return to WDW sans the other members so I booked the SOG for Easter Break 2005 and I was Happy as a Clam!! Yeah right ! Now all I had to do was wait what 350 days and I will be there! (Wow thats weird how have 331 days passed already?? WTH have I been doing with myself? ) Oh yeah I remember now ..... Calling WDW DINE!!!
Ok so all set me and my DD are off to WDW ALONE!! Right? NOT! Somewhere in the summertime my DF comes to visit me and I mention my Easter 05 plans and she wants to join me. So I say YEAH!!! Come on Down .. Or is it up ... no wait I think its East. Ok All set now I have to plan everything for 5. No problem .
So years pass.... I mean Months. And the next thing I know it is Christmas DaY . My DF calls me and tells me that not only is it Christmas day ( Thanks Santa) But that we are now 1 Day OVER our 90 Days for Pss!. Oh no Crisis at hand! How can we go on? How am I going to survive now that I missed a day of Waiting and Waiting on hold...... Never fear I have many days left to get up early and start Dialing. So I do the very next day I set my clockl Yeha I am going to get up on Dec 26th at 6 Am to get the Princess to Eat Breakfast with me 90 days later! Ummm Yeah that worked out realllllllllll welll.. At 0900 I woke to the sound of my DD not my clock . How can that be I have to make a date!!
OK so I give up on the Pretty Pretty Princess for another day and Make some PS s for places of course that are escaping my mind now. I sure I will enjoy them though.
Well Day 2 of Project Princess , SUCCESSS ( no not for the PS ... just for waking up) . Got another PS and I think went back to bed / Who knows at this point I think I may still be wearing the same Pjs from Dec 25 th!
Day 3 of Project Have to eat with that lady whats her name? Oh yeah the PRINCESS!
Ok so I get up Bright and Early 0500 and make sure to start dialing at 0657.59. Humm I have never been so precise in my life. But HAPPPY to say this time it works !!! Yeah I am eating Breakfast in 90 days with ...... The 1 and ONLY Princess ( dont tell my DFs DD ) .
So now I can rest ... No no no. I still continue to wake up every day of my Christmas Vacation at 0600 hours> Why I have no idea. Probably still had some Dinner , Lunch or Breakfast that I must plan now. Well What a Productive Christmas Break I must say I had. I made all of my PS s and stayed in the same Pjs for 7 days!!! ( Not really but darn close) Best week of my Life!. Cannot wait to do it all over again this Christmas.!
Ok Fast forward to what maybe Mid- Jan and I am planning , and on the Dis and I think somewhere in there I went to work ( but lets only Talk important stuff). Now I get to look for airfare for my DD and Me. Humm Lets see what that willl run us?? Newark to MCO oh I see it is 575 Round Trip. I dont think sooo... SO I decide maybe if I go earlier it would be Cheaper . Oh yeah it is 153 RT 2 days earleri. Hard Choice here....... Go to WDW 2 Days Early ???? Dont ask me twice! Book the Plane I say !!
So I book the Plane ........ Ummm Yeah now I leave 2 days early only one Problem, I dont have a ROOM 2 days early! Never Fear we can Just sleep in the Castle Right ? I mean I am Close really Close to that Princess Lady that lives there right? I mean who invites you to Breakfast and is not a good Friend right ? So I try calling her and of Course I cannot for the life of me figure out why she turned me down? The Nerve ! Now I guess I just have to call SOG and see about a room. Shouldnt be problem right ??? Oh you have no more rooms? Oh I am so shocked! What oh wait you can get me into another resort for Cheap ? Oh Ok. So there I go to the POR. For 2 nights!! Yeah ! All Set now huh?
Yeah just beginning. .. So Now I have 10 Nights ( 2 POR and 8 at SOG_) 5 People well this will work. Now my DF tells me she cant come until my 4 th night there. No problem it is nice to have me and DD on our own for 3 days!! So I start to think maybe I need something more special , more magical then the SOG. So I call my DF ( remember she is a FL resident) and I tell her I want MORE magic!! I want the BWI!!! So she calls CRO and gets us 3 nights CONCIERGE at the BWI!!!! Wooo Hooo I am Sooooooo Pysched!! Only 481.60 a Night Well Worth it I say!! Book it I want my Taffy on my Pillow !! I want to be pampered!!!
So then I am all set you say huh? Oh but you forgot 1 smalllll detail and 18 year old > Now my DS I love him to Death but he is 18 and at 18 you have no plans! You thinkyou dontt want to be with your mommy but your wrong!. Your friends and you are paupers. You have Plans to go away and none of you have any Money ~~~ So here is my poor poor boy with no money and no friends with any money and therefore no vacation with them to San Diego ( yeah right like I did not know that San Diego is Code for MEXICO) Look there goes the FRUIT TRUCK I fell off of!!. So I offer my DS to Come with me and my DD to WDW!! Yea he says I want to go!
Ok so now I need another Ticket. Unforuntately I cannot get him the same as me as he is only going to be able to stay for a few days. So Now I am all set you set huh? Nope not yet. Now I say to my self 1 room and 6 people I do not think sooo. So I play the SOG website game and as Luck would have it ... after many many many tries I get another room .... for 2 nights...not gonna happen ... neeed 5 so each day I play the game and wait and wait on hold and finally I click or dial riright and get the additional 3 nights!! Yea all set you say...no.....no...no. Itell my DF and she tells her DH who now wants to come for a few days. Ok Now I call up and Change ALL of my PS s to 7 people ( I had fortuenalty booked 6 to begin with ) . And we are all set. >>>>>>>
No not quite. I start to think this is getting a bit pricey so I finally cave in and give up-------------
my 481-60 Taffy Conceierge room!!! Oh no . Now I need 3 more nights at the SOG !! SO off I go again to the Click and Dial Game. And Lo and Behold only 4 days and what 78 hours of Hold time later I got it!
So now it is SOG all the way ( BTW the 2 rooms at the SOG 1 room for 8 nights and the other for 7 nights equal exactly the fee for 3 nights at the BWI) DONT get me WRONG I WANT SOOOOO BAD to stay at BWI but for all the confusion and Add ons and such I feel much better haveing more space at the SOG!
Ok so now I am alllll set . What you say no I am not? Oh yeah thats right I forgot about our number 8 Member! Just yesterday My DS asked me if his GF could come along too. So I figure whats one more??? So I said yes. Now I have to redo some more of my PS s as they are all for either 3 , 7 or 6.
WOW I am so Confused I think that will aid in the MAGIC as I probably at this point wont even notice if I misss anything.
Oh yeah and just 2 days ago I got 2 PS s for FANTASMIC!/
Either way all I know is that I am GOING to WDW in 19 Days ( I think)
Now if you have actually succcedded in reading this whole report THANKS!!!!!! And THANKS to the DIS for Assisiting me on my Magical Easter Journey!!!
