Happy Birthday Teapot!!




Happy Birthday DisneyNutzy!!

I second the birthday wishes on this happy, happy day for them! And, Lisann, welcome to our cheery, supportive bunch. By virtue of loving the Lodge--either via enjoying it or hoping to enjoy it in the future--you are automatically a Groupie! Welcome! (Now, there's this little issue of the new member fee. While the cost has risen recently, we are offering new memberships at 2013 pricing. $50 buys you all the rights and privileges. No need to bother the others, just send a check little ol' me, and we'll be good. )

I'm only a day late...
Happy Birthday tea pot!
Lest you think I'm a terrible Groupie, I did send Joy a text yesterday on her birthday. She is in the final countdown to her daughters wedding - May 3rd I think. Needless to say there are lots of last minutes things on her 'to do' list.

Happy Birthday DisneyNutzy!


Wishing all Groupies a very Happy Easter. He is risen!

Hey everyone Wanted to pop in to wish everyone a blessed and happy Easter.

Also, I need to whine a bit and I know you guys will understand. We cancelled our Christmas trip that we were supposed to stay at VWL this year. :'( It made financial sense for us to not go, because (thanks to JT's recommendation!) my DH and I are doing Dave Ramsey's Total Money makeover.

I am bummed, but we had such a fantastic trip a few weeks ago that I was ok with canceling. We have a good plan to get some of our debt knocked out quickly and it will feel great to go back to WDW when it's taken care of. Bob and I have a 3 year plan. I really hope it pans out the way we expect! Being debt free has always been a pipe dream for us - but now it seems more attainable than ever

Rusafee-

Totally sympathize. You're doing the right thing.

Dave Ramsay has been one of the biggest financial influences on my family's life. Spending a few years to make financial things right will be one of the best decisions you will ever make. It will literally reward you for decades to come.

Congrats on a wise decision!

Thanks! I always thought I was making 'ok' money decisions. Sure, we had debt - but how bad could it be???? Since reading TMM, it's literally like my eyes are open for the first time.

I'm not called Slydog for no good reason! Luv's birthday is Tuesday, and while it shall remain numberless, let's just say it's a milestone. Unknown to her, I've been making plans, plans that involved a lot of subterfuge and secrecy. Well, the cat's out of the bag, so to speak, as I just gave her a special card that included the following instructions: "Pack for 5 days. Warm days/cool nights." After I let that bit of news settle in, I told her the destination: Disney Land! She's never been, and though I was stationed in SoCal years ago, it's been over two decades so it will seem new to me, too. At any rate, we're flying out early tomorrow morning and wont' be back until Friday late. If you have any updates for Page 1 of our thread, please be aware I might not be able to add your trip until I return.

Okay, off to pack!

So fun! These are the times I wish I was less of a control freak. Lol. Bob would NEVER be able to pull something like this off!

Have an amazing time! Can't wait to see pictures
