Ruthie<<<<<<<---- who worked all night while you were drooling on your pillow (you KNOW you did ) and is STILL up Is not too lazy to type out any word you want to read So hear goes I read and re-read that post for the first time I do not "get you "

NOW- Did you telephone the walt disney world reservation telephone line and inquire of the castmember that answered the telephone when the window will open for reservations for a family wanting to stay at one of the resorts on property in september in the year 2014 ? If not, why not? If yes, what did he or she tell you ?

My thoughts on calendar days and crowd predictions, ridiculous never used them did not even know what the numbers meant until recently You want to go to a particular park, you make your plan, you do it right

No i did not call. I needed to talk to Tom first. Which i did. Then the kids were all over the place and i do NOT want them to know!!! today Meg has a game (shocking i know) i feel like crap today. so i might call either tonight or tomorrow.




I finally have a converter to convert my files into something you tube will accept. I cannot believe it is this much of a PAIN in the rear. trying to figure out the new program for converting.. i'm lucky i understand half the crap for computers or i;d be sunk...

So i have nothing until i call... IF i can make the reservation i plan on Sept 3rd to the 10ish at the poly.. Probably. Maybe? maybe a shorter stay.. Oh balls i have no idea. i will figure it out as i go.

Phew, I finally read your PTR. Really enjoyed hearing about your family and, of course, your trip to MOA.

A Peeps store! I do love me some bunny peeps. Looks like you guys really enjoyed your visit to MOA and to D~'s house for the big birthday party. Those pin boards are a great idea, your kids obviously loved them too.

I love that photo you took at the cemetery (the one that will be your business card). All your pictures from that day look great. You took some really nice shots on your adventure with A.

This one???

This is such a cute picture. They sure have grown up in 3 years.

What is this about?!?

Memory Making Tip: Create an over-the-top reveal to your loved ones at home (anywhere in the 48 states) that announces they are going to the Disney Parks! Ask a Dream Maker for help creating a magical card message to reveal your big surprise!


HOW!!! I need to find out more about this.

Not sure about this service but I have always setup a little surprise for the kids to announce an upcoming trip to Disney. We always get a "letter from Mickey in the mailbox". This letter usually comes on a Sunday morning and we know it is in there because there are Disney balloons tied to the mailbox. Well for our last trip my DH blew it and told my daughter at lunch one day (I think he wanted to be the one to tell her. She told him "but we always get a letter from Mickey") I am still mad at him for ruining the Disney magic I usually include some cute little Disney themed items, a countdown to our trip, a note from the gang and one year I added the Disney luggage tags all filled out for each member of our family.

As for when you should go to Disney, I'm not sure what your schedule is but, I like to make the most of the "extra" days on the weekends for travel, park time or just getting settled back home. If you can use both weekends it gives you "extra" time. DH and I were at Disney a few years ago right after Labor Day. We arrived the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. The parks were VERY light that week (even Monday) as most kids were headed back to school and the locals were back to work.

Maybe plan to drive and if you find super cheap airfare you can just fly. Would you be driving non-stop or are you planning on breaking up the trip? If you have to add in the cost of gas, meals and hotel for your travel days then the cost to drive might be comparable to flying.

One more thing (and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this): Disney considers a person who is 9 years old a child and a person who is 10 and adult. If you check in on the kids' 10th birthday they will be considered adults. If you check in the day before their birthday Disney considers them children for your entire stay. Park tickets MNSSHP tickets and dining will all be cheaper for a kid vs. an adult.

Sorry for the super long post. I hope I can keep up with your PTR

Oooh good point - I think you may be right Liz!

I will reply mroe on your post in a sec BUT

You are correct now you know why it is SO necessary to be IN Disney before the 8th.
After their 10th birthday well i don't want to think about it..

OK time for me to get some things straightened out here at work before i leave for the day!!!

I booked for our February 2014 trip about two weeks ago. I wasn't able to book a package, just room only. The CM I talked to told me that the packages for 2014 would be available late August 2013. I went ahead and booked us room only because our ADR date is August 12th and I needed that confirmation number to make them. Especially because my brother wants to eat at Le Cellier.

 

[Deesknee]

Oh my gosh, I suddenly and SO far behind. I will have to catch up later. DH has the day off & tomorrow is his bday, so off to shop for his dinner.

 

[Luvchefmic]

Not HERE not ever Ok few things Liz is right and others have confirmed when a KID is an ADULT in Mickeys eyes so keep that in mind also like I previously posted: MNSSHP this year

September 10 - November 01, 2013 that's probably pretty accurate dates for most years YES you have to go Its a Law ! so remember that when planning too shame if you miss this

Let me ask you something which could save mega bookoo bucks did you ever consider if drive staying OFF site ? I can recommend a LOT of places that I personally stayed at not far from WDW at all like within a 5 mile radius vacation home in Kissimmee that a friend owns, she became a friend after I rented her place for a month...yes a month lovely 3 bdrm pool home OR I have stayed at home style suites, full kitchens, etc....something to think about

You want to post you POST D~!!! i hope she is in a better mood today....

Isn't that the truth. I have to do the same today.. I have a LOT to do today the bigger question is.. WILL i get it done? my vote is no.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Phew, I finally read your PTR. Really enjoyed hearing about your family and, of course, your trip to MOA.

Thank you!!!! there are times i slap myself in the head.. Like WHY are you putting your life out there for people to READ! Yet i have made some very good friends and hope to make more.

A Peeps store! I do love me some bunny peeps. Looks like you guys really enjoyed your visit to MOA and to D~'s house for the big birthday party. Those pin boards are a great idea, your kids obviously loved them too.

The peep store was visually awesome. I loved it. D~ house was great again what a great family/friends to open their arms and welcome a couple of strangers!

Suzi did a great job with the pin boards! I may make one for myself!!!

I love that photo you took at the cemetery (the one that will be your business card). All your pictures from that day look great. You took some really nice shots on your adventure with A.

That is a good picture. I am really happy with it! already have it on my photography site!!!

This is such a cute picture. They sure have grown up in 3 years.

I know. Kills me how fast they grow.. I am so happy they KNOW they will ALWAYS be my babies. ALWAYS i don't care how BIG they get, i will always see them as the chubby little wobbly babies..

Not sure about this service but I have always setup a little surprise for the kids to announce an upcoming trip to Disney. We always get a "letter from Mickey in the mailbox". This letter usually comes on a Sunday morning and we know it is in there because there are Disney balloons tied to the mailbox.

This is another really cool idea that i wrote down when the time comes!! i think the reveal is going to be more epic then the actual trip...
I made have duck taped and hog tied my DH...
I know i will be ordering the typical "we're going to Disney World Tee shirts...

The parks were VERY light that week (even Monday) as most kids were headed back to school and the locals were back to work.

you are so RIGHT on this. So IF it does work out and i am in Disney on the 3 and on our way home on the 11 then i still have 3 days. factor in driving and possible stop at Universal studios.. I will take a couple more days off of work..

Maybe plan to drive and if you find super cheap airfare you can just fly. Would you be driving non-stop or are you planning on breaking up the trip? If you have to add in the cost of gas, meals and hotel for your travel days then the cost to drive might be comparable to flying.

Drive to the Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. Flying usually will cost us 2,000 where driving will cost about 500... i think i can drive!!!! save the 1500 for the trip. it will take 17-18 hours to drive... DH (Tom) said there is no way he will sleep in the car.

One more thing (and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this): Disney considers a person who is 9 years old a child and a person who is 10 and adult. If you check in on the kids' 10th birthday they will be considered adults. If you check in the day before their birthday Disney considers them children for your entire stay. Park tickets MNSSHP tickets and dining will all be cheaper for a kid vs. an adult.

This is EXACTLY why i HAVE TO be in Disney on the 8th. I had already factored this all in. I don't want to know how much it is going to cost for the 5 of us to go in the next couple of years....

Sorry for the super long post. I hope I can keep up with your PTR

PLEASE post as much as you want!!! i love to hear from all of you!!!

That doesn't make sense! Why can't you book if you have ADR's to make! What is Disney thinking! Don't they know! Seriously i can't book until August... OK that's not that far away.. less then 2 months!!!

Oh my gosh, I suddenly and SO far behind. I will have to catch up later. DH has the day off & tomorrow is his bday, so off to shop for his dinner.

I am so happy to have you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your DH!!!
take your time i'll be here...
