Congrats on the new job Sleepy!
Dancing with you(wish I was going too, but will live vicariously through you if you are so inclined to share photos and stories along the way)I’m coming by to say we are single digit dancing today! Can’t believe we will be back at WL in 9 days! This time as DVC owners! Oh and today was the last day of post planning for this school year! That’s 20 years in the books for me! Bring on Summer Break!
Congrats!!In keeping with the Groupie family tradition of sharing news, my announcement is that I'm changing occupations. As you may recall, I've been a middle school secretary for three years following four years as a substitute teacher. I love my job. It's a low stress, largely fulfilling position that allows me the freedom to impact students, support teachers, and aid administrators all at the same time. I'm also semi-autonomous as I'm the only secretary in the office, as well as the bookkeeper. Best of all, it has allowed me to spend time with my daughter nearly each day since the high school is co-located with the middle school. Well, daughter is graduating, and apparently, so am I. Starting in August, I will become an instructor at the high school where I will teach classes in military science (think JROTC), English, and theater. I'm going from a relatively low key position to one that will tax me daily dealing with high schoolers. Why would I do this? Money, pure and simple. Teaching pays way better than secretarying. So, I will be embarking on quite a different summer full of lesson planning and organizing and wondering just what the hell I was thinking.
I will do my best to share!Dancing with you(wish I was going too, but will live vicariously through you if you are so inclined to share photos and stories along the way)
Nice!! We love 3 trips to the World in a year. It forces us to relax a bit more and really soak it all in.I can't believe I just did this. We were planning on a 4 night stay at Vero after our 7 night Fantasy cruise leaving June 16th. Well today I moved us to WDW and bought 4 day hoppers for the four of us. Not sure what came over me. I have waitlisted for BRV and BLT since we aren't super crazy about the thought of Saratoga - but it is better than no WDW. This will now be a record for us. Three WDW trips in a year!

As for SSR, we once were a nope, not going to do it again family. But over time, we changed our thinking. We began to embrace it and now really like staying there. Fellow groupies Di and Dad helped us to pick a favorite spot to stay which is The Grandstand. Its reasonably close to the main area, not far from the boat over to DS, walking distance to both not bad. Yet its quiet over there. The quick service IMO is among the best on property. And now with DS having so many more food choices, I can justify going there again.
