I just noticed a lot of people with pending trips and wanted to see if anyone will be there the same time as me.

I'll be heading back from 9-19 to 9-23-07. We'll be at MNSSHP on the 21st.
Anyone else gonna be there???

We're not going to WDW, but DL. We went last year mid-september and it was perfect. I'm just about to book our vacation for this fall. I'm 95% certain we're going September 12-18, but a little part of me wants to wait until their Halloween stuff is up just to experience it. But on the same token we're not big halloween people so I just don't know. Plus this vacation is all a suprise for my DH & little ones (5, 3 and 1) - so I don't know how much longer I can keep my excitement in with this suprise. I get too giddy about it. LOL

Those are the exact same days we are going:banana: right down to MNSSHP on the 21st. We will be staying at ASMu.

We are actually leaving this Thursday and staying until Monday evening. Just a quick 3 1/2 day trip.

LOL - love the name: NightOwl.

That is me to a T!

However lately it's gone from being a night owl to full blown insomnia (falling asleep between 5:30am and 6:45am!) Thinking I'm going to have to buy some herbal tea and pull an all nighter to get back on a real sleep schedule!

Thank you:) I am not much of a nite owl anymore, but I do collect owls still.

I used to be able to stay up late when the kids were youg but I think I am getting old, now all I want to do is sleep.

I just talked to Cindy about this and we are trying to find a good way to do it without violating the almighty Disney copyrights. I'm hoping to have a good solution this week so that I can order some buttons ASAP. :)

I've been thinking through it. I'll try to come up with a total set of guidelines to release today. But one big one is that it can't violate Disney's copyrights. It doesn't have to use our logo but needs to say either "Sunshine Rewards" or "SunshineRewards.com". And obviously it has to be able to be printed on a standard sized button. Any colors are fine. And all submissions become property of SR. :) Any that we use, regardless of whether they are the first place vote-getter will receive a $50 prize. So if someone comes in first but we end up deciding to go with the 5th place one instead for some reason (or both!) than both people get the prize. So at a minimum one prize will be awarded, but it could be more depending on how many of the ideas we end up wanting to use.

:sunshine: I am going May 27th to June 4th. I am so excited, I almost can not stand it. It will be myself, my mother and my 7 year old daughter. We are staying at the Old Key West Resort. We stayed there last year and loved it. We were there for 9 days and it did not seem like enough time, none of us were ready to go home. We would stay longer this year but silly me did not plan our AP passes correctly but I have learned a valuable lesson that I will not let happen again (anything that cuts into my disney time is a big no no).

So my count down begins: :party:

Put me down for the costume swap!! It will be fun. Funny if there are a zillion, lets say Pirates, and we say "Hello Sunshine" to each of them!! Bunch of crazy people!! :rotfl:

We are going June 27-July 7. CANNOT wait!!! Thanks to Sunshine, I just made a Crystal Palace Ressie, (among others) paid in full by none other than Sunshine Rewards. (Well, when I cash out today, it will be paid in full!)

I love the contest idea! Unfortunately I am not creative so I am sure I will not enter, but I will vote!

i'm embarassed to admit we've never eaten there, not sure why?

have you tried it before?

i've always wanted to stay @ POR (thinking the mansions on the river); looks so pretty. If not DVC we stay @ AS, never able to get a good deal (even w/AAA) @ POR.

On the 25th we have a birthday dinner for youngest DS @ CR. Asked for a dive banner, he'll be so surprised to see it.

We're looking forward to our 1st StarWars that weekend @ MGM. Have seen Darth Vader & Storm Troopers in the past a week afterwards & got pics.

Enjoy your trip, don't forget to have the kids rub Humphrey's belly for luck!

We are going to Disneyland August 23-24 for a family reunion. I wish I could stay longer but DH is not going to be able to go. So it is a quick trip for me and DD. We are planning a WDW trip in Sept, Oct or Nov 2008----just depends on DH when he can get the time off.:)

Hi, I know you are extremely busy with the huge successful cash out, but a quick question. I've been playing around with some things for the pins and wondering if you are running just one or possibly two contests. One for all of the sunshine Disney addicts and one for those who aren't into disney but would love to have a pin for a possible sunshine rewards mmet.

Good question! Let's do this. We'll make it one contest with one overall winner. But I am 99% sure that if there is a good Disney pin and a good non-Disney pin, I will end up paying the $50 for both of them. Heck, if there are 3 or 4 pins that the voters are torn between, I'll pay out for all of them.

My goal is to get the rules up for this tomorrow after the cashouts are done. That way, the designers can have until the end of the month. We'll vote in early June, and then I can start having the pins made and sent out before I head to Affiliate Summit in July.

No, we've never been to WCC before and I'm looking forward to seeing Wilderness Lodge. Have fun at CR -- we have a reservation on the 27th actually that I need to cancel since we won't be going to Epcot that day after all.

By the way, who is Humphrey and why are they supposed to rub his belly?

DH and I are going 9/30 - 10/7 and staying at POR. It is an anniversary 9/29 and my birthday 10/7 trip and our first trip together by ourselves EVER. We are going to MNSSHP on 10/4 and we are meeting up with people from Tour Guide Mike website for the annual Zag N Meet. Fun times.

DH, me, DD6, DD4 and DS3 as well as MIL, FIL and BIL are also going from 12/9 - 12/16 and staying at Pop Century. This will be trip 2 for my kids and my MIL and the first for my other inlaws. Wish me luck because BIL is schizophrenic and may cause me to become one by the end of the trip. DMIL is insistent that he come though so I may need pre-medication. :headache: We are also going to do MVMCP and Im not sure exactly what night yet.

We will be back in the World Sept 22 - 29th and MNSSHP on 9/28. I really need to pick up on my rewards earnings as I changed resorts AGAIN and now have to come up with another $500 :eek: to pay for POFQ. I was going to stick with POP but I just have such an itch to stay at POFQ. Plus this may be my mom's last trip to WDW and I want it to be very special for her!

We LOVE WCC. It is alot of fun and both DH and I really enjoy the platter. We don't get over there often because I think it is a pain if you are staying anywhere other than WL or a monorail resort.

Tricia, is there still going to be a pin design contest. I really enjoy designing things and I would love to give it a shot!
