Woo Hoo!!! ADR's look great!!! Isn't it such a relief once you know that you got all the reservations that you want??? I know that's how I felt when all mine were made!!! Not the trip just needs to hurry up and get here!

 

[wlwilliams9]

OMG!! ​

I just checked my old email that is still in my maiden name and guess who got the Monster 40% off PIN? YUP, That's right, I DID!! Woo HOO!! ​

The problem is that it's not for the week we have planned. It's good the week before and the week after! For 40% off, we are willing to change our dates though! I think I am going to book a trip with the Monster PIN for Dec 12-18 and keep our existing ressie in case the Disney Visa discount covers the week we really want to go, 12/3-12/11! Make sense??? Fun part is, I've been making ADR's for that additional week just in case we got this PIN

 

[my2disneyboys]

that is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[exwdwcm]

Congrats on the ADRS and the PIN!!!

I think we will be on the same schedule a few days too- we are doing HS on that sunday evening too- we have dinner at Sci fi that night.

We are also planning MVMCP on the same night and doing Epcot that Friday as well!

we are also hoping to get in the new mexican restaurant, but for our first night, 12/4!! i hope they let us make ADRs for it soon too

 

[mrsksomeday]

Watch out for when the holiday pricing kicks in with that pin. I am thinking that Dec. 17th starts Holiday pricing and the room rates JUMP!

Tracey you are correct the 17th does start holiday pricing this year!

Congrats on the PIN Wendy!!!

[stephielela]

Yay for getting a pin that works! We could really use one of those... send some pixie dust our way!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Congrats on the pin Wendy! Hope it works out for you to save some obnoxious amount of money.

 

[ladybugmom]

CONGRATS on the PIN!! Whoo hoo!!! You sound like me keeping both ressies and seeing which ends up being cheaper!! Very smart!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Ugh! This Monster PIN is almost more trouble than it's worth!! Anyway, we have room only ressie for Dec 12-18th with the PIN. It saves us a little, but because holiday pricing starts on the 17th it's not as great as it could be! We also want to arrive on 12/10 and the 10th & 11th aren't covered with the PIN so we have to have a seperate ressie for those days and to get the DDP, we have to have to buy 7 day tix with the 1st ressie and 1 day tix with the 2nd ressie. So confusing! Anyway, I have all of our ADR's booked for that week too, just in case!

We are still hoping that Disney Visa will offer 40% off for our 12/3-11th trip because that would save us even more $$$, like $500 more! I checked the historical board on MouseSavers and it looks like Disney Visa has been offering the 40% off room rates for the past several years so I am hopeful!

I've also been keeping my eye on airfare! Crikey, the cost to fly from Detroit to Orlando is riDONKulous this year! Last year we flew r/t for $350 total, that included 3 checked bags & 3 carry-ons! I'm not booking anything until we are absolutely sure of our dates, but come on, the cheapest flights I've found are $630 for 3 seats, not including bags.

Don't tell Mike, but I'm actually considering driving down! We bought a new Town & Country van last month and I absolutely LOVE it, leather, moonroof, dual DVD's and satelite TV, but the thought of driving 18+ hours....yikes! I've done that drive before and vowed never to do it again. Mike is all about driving down because he thinks it would be fun! I would probably enjoy the drive down because we are on our way to Disney, it's the drive home that I dread! I guess I'll just keep watching those airfares and hope they drop!!


On a personal note, Stephanie (Charlefours) and I have been getting together twice a week to walk at our local park and her DD & Emily have become fast friends as have Stephanie and I. It's been great to get out and get some exercise. I've been slowly losing some weight and want to restart the C25K program next week now that I am finally over this horrible cough. Back up, beep, beep, beep! Emily had croup a couple of weeks ago, then I got it and the cough was HORRIBLE and ANNOYING!

I've also made room in my bedroom for our eliptical machine, which was buried under a bunch of crap in the basement storage room! I used to go a good 45 minutes on that thing, now I'm winded after 4 minutes!! I plan on elipticalling on the days I am not doing the C25K! I should be one hot mama again in no time!! Now if things like brownies and ice cream would quit calling me into their evil lairs!!

Hey Wendy! Just wanted to comment that I am having the same issue with airfare!!! When we went in Sept 2009 round trip from Philly to Orland literally cost me under $200 a person!!! I can't find anything for less then $250 at this point and then factor in the cost of the check bag fees were talking like close to $300 a person!!! UGH!!! I'm holding out hope for SW... They release there airfare for December on Tuesday and I sure hope we can get a good deal!!! Fingers are crossed!

 

[jngwright]

Hey Wendy-have you checked out AirTran? We always have good luck with them and they have flights for around $90 one way right now..they fly from Detroit to MCO

Hi Reese! Prices are outrageous!! Good luck with SW! I wish they flew non-stop from Detroit, but the only non-stop flights are Delta, Spirit & AirTran, all of which are high right now. It hink it would be too hard to do connecting flights with 2 little ones. I'm hoping fares go down a little around the 60-90 day mark! Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

Hi Jill! I have been watching AirTran! A couple of weeks ago the fares were $70 each way and now they are $95 making our flights about $690 for the three seats which is crazy! I have never paid that much to fly to FL. I'll keep watching the fares and hopefully they will go down in the fall! I'm also watching Delta and Spirit!

Hello everybody!! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend! We'd planned to do TS night last night and TS2 breakfast this morning, but we hung out at the lake yesterday and didn't get home until late so we saved our TS night & TS2 bfast for today! Although we did watch the movies on Disney Channel Satellite TV in the van at the lake yesterday!

Anyway, I didn't take any pics of bfast, I know...bad DISer! However, we enjoyed Hamm bacon & eggs, Stinky Pete Pancakes, Mrs. Potato Head Hashbrowns & Jessie's Rootin' Tootin' Orange Juice! It was YUMMY!!

Tonight we devoured our Slinky Dogs, Mr. Potato Head Potato Chips, Rex's Rotini Pasta Salad, Green Alien Slime-ade & Woody's Campfire S'mores! Oh, and Mike had a Buzz Lightbeer!! Eva participated too by eating Army Man Green Beans!!

Emily modeling dinner and her Mrs. Potato Head t-shirt we bought for our Dec. trip!

Tablescape

Eva sporting her Jessie t-shirt! (It's too big because it is for Dec and everything is still too big for her!)

Woody's Campfire S'mores!!

Eva's Army Man Green Beans!

It was a great TS weekend and we can't wait to see Toy Story 3 on Friday! I think we are going to have Pizza Planet before we hit the theater!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Love your Toy Story Night- and Eva in her Jessie shirt is just too cute!!!!!! and of course Emily is adorable as always!!! Very creative and GREAT PICS!!!! I LOVED Mikes Buzz LightBeer! I am going to have to use that one!!!!

We will be going on Friday too. I want to get Pizza Planet before but Myles has his heart set on McDonalds. That is where he picked to have his graduation dinner. We will be seeing Toy Story 3 at the IMAX theatre in Reading Ma at Jordans....This place is insane..... you should look it up online..... just the coolest furniture store ever. They even have a huge trapeze in there.
