Happy Tuesday Groupies. I have a day off tomorrow that I am SO looking forward to. I really need to get all my clothes washed and start to pack for Alaska! 2 1/2 weeks until I leave/......turn 30

I was officially added to the waitlist for an add on at VWL today! My guide was out of the office the past 2 days, and I am kicking myself that I just didn't do it when I talked to him on Friday. I waited to talk to my husband. Stupid.

But, we'll see what happens! And how long this will take....

At this point, is there anything else I need to be doing? All I did was say YES! Add me! Add me! Add me!

And now I just wait until it comes through?

Happy Birthday DizneyDi!

Zippity Doo Dah, Zippity-ay!

We go to the lodge in 44 days!

So excited to go there for the first time! Youngest is going off for his first overnight field trip! I know the time will fly by, though. He will have a great time and will be back Friday afternoon.

After that, things are really going to get rolling with the end of the school year.

Before we know it, it will be Disney Time!!!!!!

27 days! I am so jealous! You are going to have such gorgeous weather and I'll bet very low crowds! Yay!

We are going for the first time too, but in 44 days. I will be eager to hear what everyone on here advises, since I'm a newbie, too.

Do you have everything packed? Do you have your dining reservations all made? The only info I can personally give about WL is that we ate at Whispering Canyon on our last Disney trip. We loved it. It was loud and rowdy -- fun and funny!!!!! And the food was very yummy!!!!

Have a great time and post some pictures!!!!

 

[bagsmom]

So, how does one post pictures on here anyway? We have a mac, so my pix are in IPhoto.

Anyone have some directions for the technologically-challenged?

I have only been to the Lodge for 1 night on my last trip, and one night for dinner at Artists Point years ago, but my one tip is just take some time to enjoy the atmosphere. Either roast marshmallows on the beach, take a walk over to FW, sit with a cocktail and watch the water, cozy up next to the fireplace and look at all the incredible details.

It's just so magical in there, and has SO much to take in

I think posting pics on here is easy enough once you get the hang of it, but I still think it's annoying. I opened a photobucket account and uploaded all my pictures there first, and then you can adjust them to the size you want (I think that the 'default' size is HUUUUUGE so you'll definitely want to choose "small" or "medium" to post here) copy the links from there and just paste them into your posts. I don't know of an easier way.

There's a specific link you want to choose, I *think* it's the one that says IMG Code

If you need any other help, let me know! Once you open the account, I can help walk you through it!

I think most people here use Photobucket, but I use Flikr. Mostly because I use Lightroom for my photos and it uploads directly to Flickr! Also, my work blocks photobucket, but not Flickr. *weird*

We leave VERY early TOMORROW MORNING for our 1st trip to VWL!!! HOORAY!!! I'm SO excited!!! Thanks for everyone's help with my planning! I'll report back when we return....hopefully with some news that DH agreed to add on some points there

So I have a question for the DVC groupies. I have my trip booked for Dec, and have had it since my 11 month window. This is the first time I've booked that far out. We bought the discounted DVC PAP so we are trying to squeeze in 3 trips. So we were thinking Dec, May, Nov or something like that. I just realized that the 11-month window for May really isn't that far away. I have a couple of questions:

1. Do you ever get used to planning vacations that far in advance? It's very odd to me, and keeping DBF interested in thinking about it is next to IMPOSSIBLE.

2. To squeeze in 3 trips in 12 months, we won't have enough points to stay all 3 trips at the lodge, so do I still have to book at 11 months? Especially for May? I thought that was lower crowds, but now looking, it's kind of high on the points chart...and what are thoughts for early November? I assume the Epcot resorts get booked fast, but is it pretty quiet elsewhere?
