DDA Chapter 16

The guys from the Unofficial Guide say they usually get the best rental car price from Dollar.

How many days are you planning to enter a park in a year's time? That will help us determine if the AP would be a good buy for you.

I think we are only going to be able to do 10 days in 2010, I would love to go for 14 but I doubt that will happen. Not sure If I will go in 2011. If I do it would be about 8-10

thanks,
now that it is 2009 and we are going next year I can really start planning without Jeff rolling his eyes at me.

well Olivia is awake and looks 100% better then yesterday. she even wanted something to eat

 

[bear74]

too bad we don't own DVC as it's 100 discount on AP's

 

[bear74]

eventually We will own DVC just need to decide where and how many points and get a couple of things paid off so I can justify it.

No you can't. Disney isn't releasing park hours more than 3 months out now, so you can't plan where you will be on what day, which in turn means you won't know where you want to eat. But that's okay, because you can't make your ADRs until you start packing (if you are Elizabeth ). Disney has taken away the planning fun for us planners.

There is a discount on select nights for APs but I can't remember how much the discount is. I DO know none of the nights with a discount were ever during our trips.

that is what i figured would happen.

I do like this
Complimentary parking: AP/PAP holders are entitled to free parking at the MK, Epcot, DHS and AK parking lots. Florida Seasonal Passholders do not get this benefit. Free parking is not valid for special events requiring a separate admission charge or special events that are not open to the general public.

But I can plan what resort, how many days, what the dates are where we would like to eat, so that I can start budgeting for it. Also I have a list of thing I am hoping to make for the girls for our trip and those will appear under the Christmas tree this year.
Coloring/Activity books for the plane, Coupons to reedem for new shirts that mommy will make them, Autograph books, Invitations to MVMCP and to the Character meals we will do.

exactly!!

Cassidy's idea of planning right now is which restaurants she wants to eat at....her main focus is to get her mom drunk (I have promised her that she can sip any alcohol I get while there)

She knows she wants to split stay between Pop and Animal Kingdom Lodge (but if a POTC room is available I may change AKL to that). We are probably going to do the Deluxe Dining Plan, just because Cassidy wants so much signature dining and I like the fact the food is already paid for.

Got all that Chanon???

Just checking my ticker.

I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead! Lots of prayers for you all, too!

Noah's 6-month appointment went well. We have a really laid-back pediatrician, and he didn't seem worried at all that Noah would much rather just gnaw on his hands than reach for anything or put some effort into sitting up.

It seems my biggest baby is starting to taper off a little. He only gained 8 ounces since his 4-month check-up, so he's up to 14 pounds, 8 ounces (Alyssa and Matty were both 14 pounds, 3 ounces at this point). He's also an inch longer, measuring in at 26 1/4 inches long (Alyssa and Matty were both 26 inches long). We're going to put some real effort into starting solids after our trip. I attempted rice cereal with him a few times before Christmas, but then the holidays hit and things got crazy. I'm actually a little relieved I don't have to worry about packing baby food...I'll just nurse him around the World.

The last load of laundry is in the washer, and our packing is 3/4 of the way done. The plan is to leave around 5 p.m. I'm trying to be optimistic about the drive. Hopefully it will be easy-breezy!

Please take care!
Amy

Elin-I hope Buttons is okay

Jennifer-I hope Olivia's illness is done!!

I was so excited last night to go to the grocery store last night....it's the first time I've been out of the house and by myself in a LOOOOOOOONG time. I was also happy because I filled 6 of my own bags for just over $100....King Soopers said I saved 20% on my order....it didn't take into account the $34 turkey I paid $15 for I also figured out that I like Pomegranet 7-UP

Okay so it looks like an AP is probally not the way to go for us this time, So Chanon I can book a room only at any time for next year right. Tickets are cheaper thru undercover tourist then you right.

Next year's rates are not out yet...just 2009. They normally aren't released until August. From what I've seen in the past, UT is slightly cheaper since we have to charge you for shipping from here.

With the addition of Noah, our van is obviously getting a little crowded, so I've been trying to pack conservatively, knowing I'm going to do laundry at OKW...4 pairs of pjs for Alyssa and Matty, etc. However, it seems Kevin has no intention of doing laundry; he put 15 pairs of socks and underwear in the suitcase! Luckily, he didn't pack 15 pairs of shorts and jeans!

Lunch break over...back to packing

Thank you for all the well wishes!

That is who we have rented from the past two times. MUCH better rates than anyone else. Book early and then keep an eye on them. We paid $262 last month when everyone else was looking at $600+ for the same time frame!
