Congratulations, Ariel! Feels good, doesn't it? Here's hoping the points show sooner rather than later. As for school, we have a transition camp next week for rising 5th graders, then the teachers begin their in-service the following week. First day of school is the 15th of August. I clearly remember my schools starting a day or two before Labor Day where we simply went a day or day and a half to learn classrooms, schedules, etc., then began in earnest AFTER Labor Day. We got out the third or fourth week of May, too, so we had an actual summer.I am extremely sad to hear about the demise of the Flag Family. It is one of those things that I read about WL many years ago and had hoped to do one day. Obviously we did not because our first stay there was in June and it wasn't offered then. But I had hoped on a future trip, like the one we are planning to take in June 2018, that we would be able to experience it. It will be a mostly resort only trip and it would have been perfect.
On a good note, we received word that Disney waived ROFR on our contract today! It was submitted 7/7, so about 18 days ago. We are extremely excited though I hear it can take about 2 more months before we actually have our member number and points available. KMFX that it goes faster, but not expecting it.
Worth repeating. If anyone needs it, I have the AP/Territory Lounge manager's email address. While he isn't in charge of either RF, GP, or the Flag Family decision, I feel quite certain he would pass along all concerns. He has been very conscientious with concerns we've addressed in the past.Sleepy, I agree, contacting The Lodge, contacting WDW, voicing our concerns, is the best way possible to reach and letting them know how we(the long time customers)feel about the changes taking place. Sunday, this will be happening on my end. So I encourage others to do the same when time allows. Lets begin the revolution
