I certainly HOPE NOT!I listened to all the shows this week, and I only heard them talking about charging for this new Universal shuttle. No talk of charging for Magical Express.![]()

BEST OF LUCK in the sale of your home!Sure do!
It was right off the elevator... Room 4623.
Sorry I've been MIA. We managed to sell (or agree to sell) our house, and our buyers have become nightmare buyers, demanding inspection after inspection, visit after visit, and sadly, as we absolutely need to sell the place, we are at their mercy. We're already taking an $8000 bath on selling the house, and I expect that number to go up by at least $1700 over the next 48-72 hours. It's been unbelievably stressful, and making what should be a happy occasion (moving to our new home) more of a chore than anything. I think it's the curse of HGTV. We got the sappy letter with the offer (telling us how special our home was), followed by ridiculous low-balling non-negotiable offers, and then all the inspections...and plumbers (and our place has passed 99.9% of their tests BTW) but they still won't sign on the bottom line....and we're almost out of funds/consessions/repairs we can offer. It's such a headache. Needless to say, I think an August 2016 trip to WDW is way off the table. And it's a shame as it's going to be our 10th anniversary. Sigh... oh well.
Hope you all are enjoying your trips, and Teena, you know we're thinking of you.
I hunk a Villains-themed resort would be fabulous! My oldest daughter and I were very put out that Villains in Vogue closed at HS. I read an interesting article rating the various heroines. I think Mulan came out on top, Snow White was at the bottom. Cinderella rated higher than I would have thought, but the reasoning was that she at least tried to get herself out of a horrible situation, versus sleeping until a prince showed up to save the day. The ratings for princes was also interesting. Charming and whoever marries Snow White were dead last, as best I can recall. Honestly, the woodsman who lets Snow White go is more interesting than the title character or the guy who kisses her at the end.
Woot! Woot! I just booked our next trip to WDW.
We couldn't get in at the BC and while we love the YC, my husband wanted to try the BWI, so we can have "the complete set". So we will be heading to BWI on January 2, just in time to catch the last of the Osborne lights.
NinjaMom - Be sure to leave BWI in good shape for us!
Now I just have to hope that a good deal comes out for early January and that the Canadian dollar shapes up a bit, so the cost of this trip will come down a bit.
Time to go make some dining reservations!
Yay!!!![]()
A word to the wise regarding the Osborne lights schedule:
"The Osborne Lights are shown every night starting Nov. 6th thru Jan. 3rd from 6pm to one hour after park closing except November 17th for the CM party, park closes at 4pm and December 9th park closes at 6pm."
Hopefully that info will make planning your trip easier.
Good luck with those dining reservations. Don't forget to pack a giant hefty bag to stash those pretzel bread snacks for after dinner snacking.

Dining reservations are all made, including a stop at the Biergarten. I've already informed my son that you would be happy if he brought a garbage bag with him.![]()
thought of you villain fans when I saw this shirt at the Shop at the bc I saw last night!Perhaps we could start small. By petitioning Disney to adopt Iago - reformed and relocated to the New England seashore - as The Yacht and Beach Clubs' official mascot. Where the salty ol' boy looks right at home. And then, once we have our foot in the door ...
And I'm fascinated by the fact that the Disney heroines and their princes have been rated. I know that if I were to choose my favorite of its heroines/heroes it would be Uncle Remus | B'rer Rabbit. I first saw Song of the South when I was four years old and it has remained one of my favorite films throughout my life. And my favorite villainess is Cruella. The character is just so blissfully, hilariously unaware of how truly horrible she really is ...![]()

I have a feeling it didn't take that much convincing.Well...even though DH and I are will be at YC in early December, my younger DD just talked me into booking a trip Dec 18-22 because she really wants to see the OL before they go away.
Not sure where we're staying yet, but we found cheap airfare!
DH and I have been rocking the early bird specials since our early 20's! We don't do it for any discounts, we eat early to beat the crowds. And when you're up at 4am, you're HUNGRY by 4pm.Ahh yes! Torture the youth we must! He must learn of our middle aged ways. First it starts with the early bird special, then comes the coupon and finally the zip lock bag which allows us to abscond with our buffet treasures and feeds our addiction to the pretzel bread!
Resistance is futile, he WILL be assimilated! Orthopedic shoes and elastic waist pants are his future. He should probably start training now. Mwa ha ha!!!

LOL!! If it makes you feel better we've been playing this for what feels like forever -- at least 7 monthsSpeaking of Villains!
To be planning a trip to Disney World is great. And to be just back from Disney World is fine and dandy. But to actually be in Disney World is downright cruel ...
I do love that shirt, though! Do you suppose there are others featuring the Wicked Women of the World? I would really like to have one with Ursula, Cruella and The Queen of Hearts for my daughter, granddaughter and I.
And thank you for thinking of all of us who are sweetness-and-light-challenged! I hope you and your children are having a wonderful time. Do you have a Mickey's Not-S0-Scary Halloween Party planned?

I will be doing a 2-BR in December. Did you put in any special request like "close to pool" or "upper floor"? This is the first time I'm doing DVC so I'm not really sure what kind of request is needed if any.Hi all from the BCV!....snip..... We then came back to the villas where we saw our awesome 2-br which is bigger than the last one we had. It is in one of the angles which resulted in the 2nd bedroom being bigger. We unpacked, relaxed, and then went to CM Cafe for dinner.
