Who would have thought!? A Boo to YOU! Sept 09 TR! 2 for 1 on 10/24 - GREAT FUN!

[Happydog]

What a great wrap up!

I have been dying for one of those Mickey Head people for my car. Where did you find her!?! I must buy!

My head is spinning with all your plans. Holy Moly! How exciting to be staying at BLT though, that is going to be amazing for you.

Yes, spinning heads has been par for the course with my Disney trips!! RE the Mickey decals, go to the shop inside TEST TRACK!! That is where I got mine -- they don't have them at World of Disney? I would have thought they did ??

When you get a chance, PM me your DH's technique -- no rush though.

Charles rolled his eyes when I put my "got disney world?" decal on the back of my car. It makes me smile everytime I see it though.

I will, I gotta get a good "report" on it from him.... RE the decal, that one sounds cute, too! Mine makes me smile as well, DH groaned "NO, not the car!!!!" when he saw it a few weeks ago!!!

BLT! Very exciting, that was high on our list of possibilities for August and I have a feeling a stay there is on the list at some point in the future.

I'm too nervous to rent points from someone I don't know...I know, big scared y cat, you've had great luck with it.

Out of your list I'd vote for Boardwalk or AKL as both would be very different from BLT and new to you!

 

[shannn]

Oooooo...BLT!!! I would love to stay there. We went to Cali Grill last week, and the view just blew me away! What about staying at the Poly? It would be such an easy transfer.

I love your decal. I almost bought those when I was there, although I ended up getting a different one instead:

but I might end up with the decals too. They're soooo cute!

I'm renting points for December, but from someone I know IRL. I'd be nervous to rent from someone online.

LL, Mousegears had a lot of the decals and car stuff as well.

LL, Mousegears had a lot of the decals and car stuff as well.

I'm really excited about this! There is a car in my town that I see all the time that has the Mouse Ears family and I have Mouse Ears envy.

I had dreams last night all about renting DVC points. Is that a sign I need to do it for my next trip?

We have been waiting to stay at BLT... The theming is very much appealing to my DH... Re the points rental, so many people use Paypal nowadays, that you can pretty much be guaranteed a safe transaction, b/c your purchase/CC is protected, you know? We have never had trouble. Hopefully that will continue to be the case -- those on the Dis and off.

Oh I love love the hood ornament -- is that what it is?? Yes, we are very excited to stay there. I am toying with Poly -- DH thought so, too... that or AK. Which is why I can't wait to read your TR!!!!

LL, Mousegears had a lot of the decals and car stuff as well.

They must have the same display! I have not been into Mousegears much -- I try to do my shopping when the kids are "preoccupied" -- asleep -- hence DTD late hours works out well for me!

Oh yes! You should get one! I think it is sooo cute

Oh well, whatever your dreams tell you.... HA!

Hey, do you all know if the Celebration Theme will be continued into 2010? Where can I find any details/rumors about this? Trying to convince DH that this is why we need the split stay in June

I don't know if they are going to continue it or not, but I do know that it works out best for me if you arrive on the 18th. Maybe...

AH HA HA HA HA....

Well, I guess it remains to be seen!! AS DOES YOUR DATES IN JUNE!

BUT. In the meantime I am enjoying your TR from the F & W and your "dull" husband's wit.

I was trying to get him to help this morning on dates, but he was not helping. His only response was, "Whatever you decide, we HAVE to go to the new Harry Potter theme park." Like I didn't know that already...

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Just got caught up again.

Sounds like you had a great ending to your quick surprise trip!

Thrilled for you that you're doing the Bay Tower. I talked to a family that was staying there and they just raved about it. Looking forward to hearing about your next trips.

YUP, I get that "U" and "HP" pull... my boys don't really know Harry Potter... so I am thinking we have another year yet, for that park... not sure though... I have to really discuss it with my DH, too... would it be worth it, etc. If there isn't anything there yet for that age group, we will wait a little longer.

OH I PM'd you!

All caught up. I love lazy Sunday mornings and DIS'ing! So random comments in random order:

I like the kid perspective shots from MK. Those are adorable. And you're very welcome re: photopass. My pleasure!

LOVE all your souvies. I was toying with getting a decal for my car but I didn't. Maybe next time. Love all your T's!!

I am so excited for your Christmas trip! Too funny you will be making ADRs from WDW! If you need help, just let me know. I'm happy to call/log in for you. I'll be home.

The Frontierland shooting gallery - I always forget that is even there. Guess that may be one of those things you discover with boys.

It was SO terrific to meet you and your family. You're all just as nice and adorable as you seem in these TR's. And so glad you were able to get the lobster roll too!

Think you asked about the Celebrate You theme. I heard it is continuing but without the get in free on your b-day part. That is being replaced by the volunteer for a day and get a day promotion. At least that is what I heard on the DIS podcast.

I am very intrigued at the idea of renting DVC points. I skimmed thru some of the replies. Did you post your "secret"? Do you find the renter on the boards? I'm going to have to check that out as it may be the only way for me to continue to visit "my" Beach Club!

Congrats on getting your dream resort! So many TRs to look forward to from you!!!

And let's not forget F&W next year...

 

[jenjolt]

BAY LAKE TOWERS!! WOOT what fun you will have staying there!! I am so excited for you!!! YAY!!!!

Loved your souvenirs and I can't wait to read about your trip in December!!!

After January (when I renew my AP for the 15 months WOOT) I'm looking to head back in the fall and if we don't own DVC I'm seriously considering renting points and staying somewhere for a good deal so I might have a lot of questions to ask you and your DH about that LOL!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

One small plea.....
When you all go back next fall....
Anyway you could do it later in the month?
Much later in the month....
I would love to meet everyone, but we have our fall break quite late in October.

Ah GEE Christine you are so nice to say those things about us! We have fun.. Honestly, if you would have told me this time last year (when I was getting ready to leave for my Nov08 trip) that I would be returning to Disney FOUR or more times in the coming year, I would have laughed you out of my house... How things change!!!! Well, regarding the DVC, I will send you along what I sent to CP -- no secrets, really, just don't want to blabber on about that in my TR... HAPPY to share our trade-secrets.

AND FALL, you say? Oh, I am totally there. BUT, I am not sure about the HOW, so if it is a fall trip, I will have to check out dates, times, etc... LIKE I said I was a fool not to book that DANG bounce back ahead of time!!!

DON'T know if I could get DH to go again.... he thinks if he takes me enough in one year he will "purge" it out of my system....

BAY LAKE TOWERS!! WOOT what fun you will have staying there!! I am so excited for you!!! YAY!!!!

I am REALLY REALLY so excited, too.... That 15 mos deal is a DEAL!!! Well you should just take the plunge and BUY DVC lady! A good time to, it seems, based on what I hear from WigD's reports!!! I can always give you the tips!

Well you gotta give some speculative times, at least, so one can try and figure it out!!!!

OH I PM'd you!

I got it -- getting ready to PM you back!

While I would love to see the new HP stuff, I don't like that it is adding about another $400 onto the trip. That is going to cut into my drinking fund.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I wish I had some dates, but until our school calendar comes out, I'm at a loss. Normally we have that break in the middle of the month. So last year at this time we were at Disney. Then this year they made our conferences and fall break a week later....
So IF we would have gone it would have been next weekend over Halloween, we have never had this late of a fall break before. I really hope next year they go back to a week earlier.....

 

[eandesmom]

If it weren't for trying to get FD which is by far the best deal for us, I would look into renting points for this trip. I've priced it everywhere to Sunday and FD wins everytime. Maybe by our next trip we will be able to buy on the resale market....we will see!

I think my concern is not so much the financial transaction, it's the transitory nature of our plans and knowing we might need to make changes and sticking someone else in the middle of that, who may or may not want to deal with it...Bleh.

However I think the trick is using HP to extend the overall trip! I couldn't see cutting any Disney time out so it just had to be longer. It did add far more than another $400 though but that was our choice based on how we are doing it. With your kids though I do think you can wait another year or two based on their ages.

That said we did IOA when the E's were 4&5 and they had a blast, plenty to do.
