Only because I have only uploaded the first half of our pics from the wedding trip do I post shots of the two most obvious locations. . .

Our favorite part of the drive (not in the least part because our GPS device always says when we start pulling through the entrance, "your destination is on the left" when it's clearly on the right )


My youngest expressing her delight at MK (she's not fully Mousekatized, but she will be)

Haha sorta reminds me of my Apple GPS on December (before google created a new app) took me to so many service entrances and was very confused!

ETA - love the shot with the Mickey hands!! So cute!

Ugh! Are you booking for yourself, clients, or both!!?? The very few times I have called CRO over the years since becoming a DVC member makes me appreciate DVC all the more!

Modifying reservations for people so they save money with the discounts. I love my job I truly do but this promo was a killer. I'm taking the rest of the day off & taking the kids to the movies! I think I've earned it.

Have a great weekend groupies!

Kathy & Corinne: Love the pics! Just love them.

I'm looking at booking a 1 bedroom villa at WL. Does anyone know if I can fit the pack and play in the walk in closet? Don't judge! Baby just sleeps so much better with closed space by herself.

I'll take DCL - The Fantasy and Castaway Cay!

LOL. Teri as a women who had 3 babies/toddlers around at the same time, I am in no position to judge. There were days when I would have slipped my kids a mickey (and not the mouse variety) to get them to sleep.

Now it's been a while so unfortunately when my kids were little pack and plays were huge gigantic things so we did not travel with them. the walk ins are plenty big, there is actually a walk in to the walk in. so you should be fine storing it out of the way.

Hey Groupies!


We just got back late last night from our trip East to settle my younger daughter into her new digs in Providence, RI. It was a long trip (including the rental truck drive of 1,100 miles over two days) but everything went well. Providence is a really nice city and we enjoyed a day trip to Boston and a few days in Newport, RI. All in all, a great trip!

I see lots of activity continuing here.

Kathy...congratulations on your driving pass and I hope your recovery continues along a swift path.

rfassett...congratulations on your anniversary. Wonderful that you have so many great years and memories together.

eliza...we only cruised once, for our honeymoon, and found a local TA very helpful. The problem with do-it-yourself via the internet is there are so many options, and it's hard to tell what is a reputable company or deal out there. I'd either use a TA or direct with the cruise company web site. The cruise we did was Caribbean...St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Barbados and I think one other location. Very nice as we sailed during the nights and every day woke up at a new port to explore.

I always enjoy keeping up with everyone, though I don't post as often as I used to. Great to see such support from people brought together by, of all things, a timeshare resort.

Hi Granny! You were in Boston!? So close to me and you didn't stop by!!?? Sounds like you had a nice visit, Newport is great. Is your daughter working or going to school?

Sorry, Corinne...it was just a day trip (took the train up and back from Providence) and we did the touristy things (Duck tour, Freedom Trail, etc). Had a great weather day for it and playing dodge-em with Boston drivers is always fun!

My daughter graduated Indiana U. this past May and this is her first job out of college. She is very excited with one week of employment under her belt!

Since everybody but 3 of us will be returning on Dec 1, I was able to shave off the last night of our VWL 2-br vacation so that the 3 of us remaining could try out a Lake View 1-br over at the Grand Floridian for the last night of our vacation. We're pretty excited to be able to try it out.
