WDW - 7/31-8/4 Mainly a PI visit trip (will do the Toy Story Mania, Everest, and probably Yak & Yeti) but A/C and Mannequins each night (Staybridge... Rick is still PO'd at Disney for closing PI so not on property)
WDW - 9/12 to 9/14 One final farewell to A/C & PI have dinner scheduled with some CM's and a final round (or two) at PI (Staybridge... Rick is still PO'd at Disney for closing PI so not on property)
WDL - 10/3 to 10/6 Gay Days and Nightmare before Christmas in the HM (always at HOJO, new water park this year!)
WDW - 10/24 to 10/27 Food & Wine Fest (staying at Crowne Plaza Universal... Still mad about PI)... We have the F&W Fest down to an art form, it takes three nights and we have "tweaked" our plan for several years (we even have a tour group of sorts that goes out with us one evening)
WDL - 12/20-12/23 Happy Holidays! (1st year in many that we have not gone to WDW for the week...you know why by now

)
And this, with any luck, will end the year(s) of a million dreams promotion. If you ever want to win a prize just come and stand by us in any park, DTD, etc. Everyone around us will win fast passes at a minimum (We never get anything, but we have started using the power for good. We just find people who look nice and gather them around us... 5 minutes later they are winners!). We have actually had people we were talking to win a week stay for the family, lots of fast passes and pins, and the list goes on...
Not really bitter about this, it is just amazing in some ways. We figured that we had been in parks 40+ days over the last 2 years... We even had a member of the dream squad walk with us for 30 minutes in MK at Christmas time (he was so nice, he just could not beleive his phone would not ring)... I am sure the moment we shook hands and put some Christmas beads around his neck that he gave a stay in the castle to some deserving family
Trust me we are blessed in many other ways
We always go out of our way to meet other Dis folks... please let us know where you will be and we can meet and say hi (the odds are good you will get some beads from NOLA)
Drop us a line and we will see you there! Don't let Rick's green hair scare you (he hardly ever wears it out, he is saving it for the Podcast Cruise)
