Happy Birthday LeslieLou!

Good morning everyone! I really need to stop looking at the resale listings. I saw a VWL that would work perfectly for us, but we can't buy until next year around this time

And....I even went as far as to email about it

I really need to stop torturing myself

I've been looking too....and really need to stop. I could use some xtra points for next Spring when my daughter plans to get married. It's so tempting and fun to look and dream !

That's true! I just need to learn to be more patient. A friend asked me to go shopping with her last weekend and although we had no money really to spend, my DH said "you should go window shop at least"



I looked at him like he had 3 heads. Window shopping is not for me. I am way too impulsive for that.

So when you hear me say, I HAVE A NEW CONTRACT next week, you'll know why.

According to their menu on the Disney website, they do have Mickey waffles on the kids' menu. I know for certain that Roaring Fork has them as we get some each trip.

I wonder if they'd allow my boys to get them. They are over 9. But we are not on a dining plan, so maybe they wouldn't be as strict?

I know I do the same thing looking at resales too. Not going to be able to do another addon for a few years, but I still look anyway.



Happy Birthday LeslieLou!

I'm pretty sure that they would be OK with that - especially as your aren't using the dining plan
As others have mentioned - Roaring Fork has some awesome Mickey Waffles ...... Mmm, could just eat some of those right now!

I don't think you'll have any issues ordering off the kids' menu. 94 days and counting.

Wishing LeslieLou a very Happy Birthday!
Hope it was/is magical in every way!

Yay, Sleepy!

We are at 71 and I am about to explode!!!!!! I want to go out and buy all the stuff for the trip -- new sneakers... we need some new swim suits...

My 10 year old is concerned that the skirt of my very matronly swim dress is too short. He said it shows too much leg and that I don't look like enough of a teenager for that. So that whole process of finding an acceptable suit needs to start NOW!

I want to buy some space bags to pack our 8,000 matching tee shirts! It is so hard to put the brakes on myself and buy only one or two things each week. I have to keep it all in my grocery budget! So difficult!

OK -- time to go get everyone supper!

 

[sleepydog25]

Wow. Nearly 24 hours without a post on this thread. Spring break? Families in for Easter? Regardless, I have now broken the string. To make it actually Disney related, 93 days. . .

I've purchased the space bags with all good intentions of this being a way to minimize space while maximizing clothing. Boy was I wrong! I used them 1 or maybe 2 trips and while they do condense what is in them, they take up a lot of room due to the 'hard' edges. I do much better to roll tee's tightly and pack in corners and on the bottom of the suitcase around the pull bar housing. Also when removed from the space bags they are very wrinkled. I've packed clothing and left it in our owners locker in these as well, and again have abandoned that too. Good luck! I hope they perform up to your expectation.

I have quite a bit to do tomorrow, so.....
Wishing all my Groupie cyber-friends a Happy and Blessed Easter!
He Is Risen!

Hey Di! Thanks for the tip! I am slightly psycho in my determination to NOT do laundry on my vacation. So I am bringing...... drumroll for the crazy lady.... 56 tee shirts! 2 per day for each of us for the week.

I know that is nuts... but I do about 2 loads of laundry every single day. Laundry is my purpose in life (apparently.) I just do NOT want to do it on vacation! Nope. No siree! I thought the space bags might help. But I'm glad to know that they make everything wrinkly. They don't do that on the TV commercials! You mean, gasp, the commercials aren't accurate??

Can you imagine the bags of stinky tee shirts we will be driving home with? P.U.! I don't even care!

I bought 4 little pouches of those cocktails you can put in the freezer -- they aren't very high in alcohol or anything -- but it will be fun to have a festive slushy beverage to have down by the beach or on the balcony!

I've ordered a longer length swim skirt from Etsy. My son brought it up again. Who would have thought that a 10 year old would find back-leg flab so distressing?

Oh, darn, bagsmom when our boys were young, one of them was always sick on a holiday. Hope he or she is feeling better soon!

Happy Easter Groupies

A blessed Easter to all!

Happy Easter Groupies

Well, the sick one is feeling better, but is still contagious -- so he didn't have to -- I mean COULDN'T -- get up and go to church. My brand new teenager, who is healthy -- and veeeerrrrry sleepy -- DID get up to go to church with me. He is now acting like he's been working in the salt mines for a week. The sick one is gleefully playing with all his Easter basket treasures!

Kids are funny!
