Great start to your SW day. Shame you had to go into work on your weekend, hopefully it wasn't too bad.
It wasn't too long each day, but it sure made me feel like I didn't really get a weekend. Then I topped it off with a crazy Monday and Tuesday
. Today's been a nice reprieve.....a full day off to catch up on housecleaning, laundry and all the other stuff that has been ignored (including the Dis!).
Violet and Dash are adorable! I love those little faces, such sweethearts!
Those Halloween shirts are hilarious. Not offensive in any way, just fun!
Busch Gardens is definitely worth a visit on one of your future trips. Steve would love the coasters and there’s lots non-thrill ride stuff for you to enjoy. I’ve been meaning to post a trip report about my day there this April but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I’ve seen Pets Ahoy a few times and really enjoyed it – such a cute, fun show!
We are truly thinking of adding in a couple of days at BG in April
. The idea of incorporatnig a couple of days in Tampa on the beginning or end of our week in Orlando is sounding more and more appealing!
We've actually done a day trip from Orlando, too if staying the night isn't a good option. It's not a bad round trip ride!
They are absolutely beautiful!!
No judgment from me! I'm the President of the local Crazy Cat Lady club!
I agree! My cats barely give me an ear turn when I call them- can't imagine them learning those tricks!!
I have to look into the Sea World tours! We did the Behind the Scenes tour and it was great!!
A happy International Cat Day to you, my friend
. Violet and Dash send out a big hello in honor of the occasion!
Then, Dash let out a big yawn and promptly went back to sleep
.
SeaWorld tours are the BEST, aren't they? We've done the VIP Tour, Behind the Scenes tour, Wild Artic Tour, and both Dolphin experiences. This October we'll scratch off the Animal Ambassador and Sea Lion tours, so spring will have to be......penguins!
That was a plan, but I think we've decided not to go. My main reason for going is because mom would have wanted to be there. To be honest, I'm not that close to my cousins and to spend all that money on a trip to see people I'm not that friendly with and that Tony doesn't even know seems silly. My new plan is to send them a nice gift and stay home. Besides all that money saved can go towards other things!
Love the matching green shirts!
Ah, I totally get it. Oh, to have unlimited budgets!!!
A girl can dream, right?
Awww, the kitties are so cute!!
And love the shirts- I think they are perfect
Thank you!
I love that pet show. it is different than when we took Madeline for her first trip in 2008(I think)
What was the original show like? A different story line?
Thanks for mentioning car rental costs - i checked and ours with the MIL rate through Alamo went down $35.00! Was able to book the new reservation and cancel the old one!
Wahoo!
So happy for ya!
I need to remember to check mine again tonight....it's been a few days since I ran the dates and times.
Sooooo……..I'm officially going. A friend showed me how to decode Priceline (and there is a long thread here on the Dis about it) so I took a leap of faith and booked a room. With the help of my friend and that long thread I scored POFQ for my dates at $94/night. I would have much preferred a villa with kitchen but this makes GC happy and at the price I got I couldn't say no, it's was less than a value level resort. The catch is it's non-refundable. I'm now trying o sort out the last few details.....airport parking, rental car and what we will be doing. I bought
MNSSHP tickets for the 24th and so far that's all that is planned.
So happy that you have officially decided to make the trip
. You deserve the time away. Will you be dressing up for MNSSHP?
Thank you...funny that we never tell ourselves we deserve something. Do you think that’s the mommy brain taking over?
You know, every year I seem to stumble on a new deal that gets me a WDW resort for less than the year before. The prices have really shot up this year though. A room at POP was more than what I’ve paid during peak season. I guess they have to recoup the reno money.
LOL....It's ok for the kids to meet people online but not the moms.
Paige is planning to apply to the international exchange program after she graduates from university in 3 years time. I would love to be able to go visit her a bunch of times and reap a perk or two. Although, she's already getting small job doing competitive choreography. If this continues she may not be able to take a year away to work at WDW.
Congrats to Paige! You must be one proud momma

Sorry to be off topic but I asked about advice for my niece moving to Schenectady and a couple of people kindly offered to help, but I can't find the posts!. They are looking at renting and have been told to look at Saratoga Springs, Malta and Ballston Spa. Can anyone tell me if these are nice areas, and they also need to consider schools in these areas too.
Unfortunately the realtor who was supposed to be helping them had the wrong contact information so nothing is booked I. and they fly out Thursday to look at properties but have little idea. Any advice welcome.
Gina hope you don't mind me asking.
I don't mind at all. Hopefully those posters pop back in and can help answer your questions!
