Hey everyone!!!

Nothing new going on here, same old same old I guess. I am counting down the days until we get to Florida (20!)...can't wait!

Lyzziesmom, is the offer for the airfare from your parents just for January or for any month you'd be able to go?? Just curious....

This video is really gross....

The last thing that someone like me (a germaphobe) needs to see!!!
 
oh man....Mike says NO to Jan:sad1: I figured that...but ya gotta at least try:laughing:

Well phooey! I figured too... that's what any sane person would say, but we are WDW nuts! :laughing:

Well technically the offer is good for whenever - they would rather go on their cruise in March - but my AP expires on 2/04/08 so I really wanted to go before then so I don't have to buy another ticket, because that's where the real $$$ goes.

How long of a trip were you planning on?
 
Ashley: Probably about a week or so. My vacation time resets as of Jan. 1st so that's not really an issue, but with the way they raised resort prices for the weekend it stinks. The AP rate is $49 at a value but on Friday & Saturday nights it jumps to I think $82 or $83 - almost double! So I was thinking of a Sunday - Friday. Of course nothing is set in stone. Were you thinking of going sometime around then too?!?
 

Thanks pozey, nice to see you! Those pix are the funniest of the "outtakes." Emma makes the funniest faces, and I love the one where Roxy is trying to escape and Lyzzie is yelling. The whole photo session took about 10 minutes and I took 50 pictures. It was fun! I just wish I had better lighting.

Well I'm off to watch Earl and then go to bed! Everyone is coming down with colds and I really do NOT want to be next.
 
Lyzziesmom - love the pics! Have fun picking one!

Ashley - man, I didn't need to watch that. I don't like hotels, anyway. I mean, I'll stay in them - you don't really have much of a choice - and I don't have a problem with Disney hotels, maybe I'm kidding myself about them, though. But regular hotels? YUUUUUCK. You don't know what's on the floor, or the comforters, or the pillows. Am I some kind of clean freak? hahaha!!! not by any stretch of the imagination. But I know what's on MY floors, and who's drool is on MY pillow.

Lesa had mentioned another CM store that offers 75% off discontinued, damaged and clearance items - I do know that it is still around - our friend in Orlando had mentioned it to me the other day when he offered to do some Christmas shopping for me.

I'll ask Erin about her friend who just got back from doing the college program - I don't know if he took his own car or not. I do know they offer shuttles to the grocery store and other places, but I'll see what he did.

Driving or flying? For us, we've ALWAYS flown. Of course, for years, we never paid more than $225 each ticket (which I know for some of you, is high for plane tix). We've got a 20 - 24 hour drive to get there from here, and we've never been able to deal with the thought of sacrificing 4 days of Disney time to driving. Not when we can leave here at 6 in the morning, and be there by 12:30 in the afternoon. Plus, I can't even begin to imagine having to drive back home after a week there. I really wouldn't leave there if I had to drive home, I think. Of course, with the high oil prices, it's getting harder and harder to find decently priced flights - we have to be more creative and flexible with our schedule in order to get reasonable flights. Right now, looking at our May trip, they're sitting at a minimum of $360.00.
 
Lyzziesmom- I am SO mad!!! I can't believe that the warden or whatever he's called shredded Earl's get out of jail papers!!!! I honestly am not really impressed with this season, to me the show was much better when he was out of jail.

Dznyfan- Any info and tips your CM friends can give me would be great! I'll have to check out that 75% off store. :woohoo:

And of course you all know that if you want anything while I'm down there just let me know and I'll be more than happy to mail it to you!

Ashley- That video is so nasty. :scared: I couldn't even watch it all!
 
Good morning, Crew!!! I'm sorry, but I'm getting behind on the posting. Yesterday morning my internet was down. Thanks for the breakfast, DznyFan!!


lyzziesmom:: The girls' Christmas outtakes were so sweet. I vote for #4 as my favorite!:santa:
I read where Lyzzie's grandparents can't make the trip in January. Myabe something else will come up. I'm thinking Ashley's wheels are turning!:rolleyes1 ;)


2x2s:: I never answered your question about Our Lady of the Snows. We haven't been since 2001. I hope we make it this year. The last time we went we waited until the Saturday evening before Christmas and had to wait in the traffic that was backed up all the way to I-255!:scared1: :eek: :scared:
Did I understand that your sister and her family are coming home for Christmas? I hope so... I know how you miss them.
Too funny about your niece and nephew dipping their turkey in ranch!! (At least they weren't dipping it in salt!) :teeth:


Linda:: Good luck with your decision on driving vs. flying. We had always driven until '06 when I found a great rate on SW; now I think we are spoiled. I must mention however to keep in mind that most airlines have a 50lb limit on their luggage. One poor family was having to re-pack everything at the airport before they could check in for their return flight.:upsidedow


Amber:: I'm so sorry that Mike is having such a difficult time at work. You two definitely don't need this kind of aggravation in your lives right now. Hopefully another opportunity will arise soon!!
ps.. sounds like the Manager may be a little wacko?:mad:


Nathan had a ballgame last night and I got to work the concession stand. Actually, there were plenty of volunteers, so we split the 1st and 2nd halves.
Nathan's team lost, but it was a close game for a while.



I think I'm in a Wilderness Lodge mood this morning. Wanna' join me at Whispering Canyons for a knee slappin' good time?:dance3:

I hope you all have a Fantastic Friday!!!:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

OH! My most favorite breakfast in all of Walt Disney World!!!

Thank you Donna!!!
 
Mornin'!

Just thought I stop by and say hello! I'm on my way up to school, have a great afternoon everyone!

Donna sorry Nathan's team lost! :guilty:
 
Woke up this morning and said to myself, "Yup, I've got the germs." So... I'm home today. Just me and Emma. She's busy watching Sesame Street and I went back to sleep for a couple hours. I hate sleeping with the tv on, I never go all the way to sleep and I have the weirdest dreams!

I didn't watch Ashley's video because I prefer not to know about gross stuff around me. I take it it was about germs in hotels? No thank you, I happen to like hotels and don't care to ruin that. I'll just be over here in my happy little bubble.

DznyFan: You sound just like me with the driving vs. flying! I love driving but it's just too far, and with the extra time off work it isn't worth it. But $360 per ticket? Yikes! I couldn't do that - the flights alone would be more than I've ever spent on an entire vacation! I'd probably reconsider driving if it came to that.

Lyzziesmom- I am SO mad!!! I can't believe that the warden or whatever he's called shredded Earl's get out of jail papers!!!! I honestly am not really impressed with this season, to me the show was much better when he was out of jail.

Oh I know, me too! Here I was thinking, Yay, he'll get out of jail and the show will go back to "normal" but NO! I also didn't like the episode a few weeks ago where they were on Cops again. I mean it was funny, but it seemed like they were just redoing an old episode because they ran out of ideas. Nevertheless, I can't wait for next week to see what happens!

I was thinking this morning that I would really like some Disney silverware. Does anyone know if they make any? Not the kid stuff with characters printed on them, but a nice Mickey head engraved or cut out of the handles would be awesome. Something tasteful and subtle.

I read where Lyzzie's grandparents can't make the trip in January. Myabe something else will come up. I'm thinking Ashley's wheels are turning!:rolleyes1 ;)

That would be awesome! I really can't wait for next year's cruise. I hope everyone will be able to go. Since it looks like I won't be able to go until then, I've really been looking forward to it. And the best part will be seeing all my DIS friends again, and meeting those of you I haven't seen!! It's too far away though -- I want to go NOW!

I was checking prices & stuff last night and I could actually go in Dec. for about the same price as January, but I think it's too soon for my parents to book a cruise (which is the whole point of them buying the girls' airfare, so I have somewhere to go while my babysitters are away). Plus I don't have enough paid vacation left this year, I think after today I have two days. Too bad, because then I could join the mini-meet!

I must mention however to keep in mind that most airlines have a 50lb limit on their luggage. One poor family was having to re-pack everything at the airport before they could check in for their return flight.:upsidedow

On our last trip my mom had to repack on the way home, her suitcase was a couple lbs. over the limit. It was her bag of WDW soaps and shampoos from the hotel! SSR gave us soap, shampoo and body wash in both bathrooms every day, and if we didn't use them the maid put them in our luggage! I'm such a dork though because I don't use much of it at home, I save it. For what, I have no idea, but I still have some (plus a roll of tp with a Mickey wrapper on it) from POR back when it was Dixie Landings and my parents came to visit me at college (UCF in Orlando) and I stayed there with them for the weekend. Whew that was a long run-on sentence!
 
Lyzziesmom - we won't pay the $360 per ticket, trust me. That's just ridiculous.

There used to be silverware with the tri-circle Mickey head cut into the handles. I don't know if it's still available.
 
Ok, I'm really bad... I decided I'm going in January anyway. I will bring both girls, and to heck with Lyzzie's favorite rides, she will just have to skip them this time or grow a spine and ride them alone!

A Ding! came through today and I called my mom about it, she said, "We knew you were going to go anyway. Have fun." Now I just have to figure out the dates and keep it a secret from the girls!!

ETA- Around when in January?
 
I'm not sure, I'm trying to work it out right now with the Ding and the hotel availability on the AP rate. It looks like the 26-30th is going to work best. I'd really like to do a couple days longer, but the Ding is only good through the 30th and only good on Tues, Wed, and Saturdays, and my parents cruise is a full week. This is the hardest part!

I might see you there, Nicole!!

:cool1: We definitely have to try to meet! :yay:
 
Ok I did it!

I'm Going To DisneyWorld!!

It won't be easy with both kids, but I can do it because I'm SuperMom!!

We're going Jan 26 - Feb 1st at AllStar Music. I really wanted Movies, but they only had preferred rooms available and I don't want to pay the extra. It was a tough choice between Music and Pop, but we've only stayed at Music once and it's been refurbed since then, and we've stayed at Pop 3 times so, Music it is! I'm so excited!!

So that takes care of the rest of Xmas shopping for the girls. :thumbsup2 And I know what I'm getting -- Mom told me to be sure to print out the receipt so she can wrap it & put it under the tree.
