    Default Forum fun!

    Ok, have to admit, it's been awhile since I have hung out in the forum. I check it every once in awhile. But I miss the chatter! Miss the conversations, the fun stuff! Can we get that going again?!?!

    Anyone have fun plans for the summer?! What are you earning for? Have any personal goals you are working on?

    I am going to Daytona Beach in three weeks. Working towards earning money so I can go on a cruise. And...trying to lose the last 20 pounds. Down 51, only 20 more to go! I want to wear a bikini on that cruise! LOL

    Ok...who's next?!

    I still want to go somewhere for my 50th birthday-I actually turned 50 last September-but still haven't celebrated. I told my dd-want to do a "last minute cruise again?"

    I love planning trips, but sometimes doing last minute vacations are just as fun.

    I am going on a cruise next month! Just a short one - taking the Disney Magic 2 nighter out of NYC. Working to save for our Disney World vacation in October for my 30th birthday!

    Other than that, I have a lot of weddings to attend this summer!

    You need to celebrate!! Last minute trips are so fun! I like just having to go with the flow instead of overplanning like I tend to do if I have a long time to do it!

    I had a melt down at Epcot 5 years ago, waiting for my dh in the smoking area by Mission Space. He taught me to slow down. I know smoking is wrong and I try to get him to quit everyda.

    We actually met the nicest people in the smoking areas. Some of our fondest memories are meeting people in these areas. And we had some great conversations when we slowed down. I was so commando and my husband hated touring the parks like that.

    We are heading to WDW in early June!! This has been a rough year so far so we are really ready for this trip!!

    I had to cancel our trip for the Princess 1/2 Marathon earlier this year because my son was in the hospital for 2 weeks. That with some other family medical stuff has been exhausting! The kids are super excited for the trip! We'll be there for the last weekend of Star Wars weekends. My husband also wants to try to do a surprise trip to DL at the end of the summer so we are working on planning that now too!

    Surveys have been really good for me, so I am adding as much as I can to our Disney funds!

    I am also running again. I had trained and was ready for the 1/2 marathon right before his hospital stay. I just now started running again last month and am trying to build up speed now. My husband and I are planning to run a 1/2 marathon together in the Fall so I need to figure out our training plans for that. We are also really wanting to do the Marathon weekend at WDW in January if we can figure out the logistics with the kids

    my parents decided to surprise the family (my two brothers and our spouses/children) with a trip to DW in January! I recently found sunshine rewards when planning for the trip and now I am addicting to saving as much as I can before January.

    Its been tough though to do all the surveys because I work full time and don't have the internet at home.....

    On a non-disney note, we are buying r first house in a week! soooooo exciting and LOTS to get done...looks like this will be a very exciting summer

    We're working toward our Disney trip of the year in a few weeks and I am so excited! We didn't spend much time there last year because we did Universal and a Disney Cruise. So I am ready to hit every single ride and attraction this year!!

    I'm also trying to convince SunshineGuy that he and the kids should come to New York with me before Affiliate Summit in August. If I can get the finances worked out, it would be a great opportunity. So I'm not counting on it yet...but trying to work toward it.

    I'll buck the trend and say I'm looking forward to staying home this summer! Last fall and winter our lives were insanely busy helping to open a new restaurant, and it seems like once that settled down we had two weeklong trips just a month and a half apart. This week I finally feel like we can settle into a normal routine, although our new normal is busier than just one year ago.

    These two recent trips have put a dent in my vacation savings, so I'm hoping to earn some extra on SR to help pay for our November trip! We're going with friends, each of us have a 1 bedroom at Bay Lake Tower. We've stayed there once before and we're really excited to go back. I haven't seen Christmas decorations in WDW for a while, so I'm ready to soak up everything, maybe pitch a tent at Osborne Lights

    I feel like my summer is over already and it hasn't even started! My DD made the All Star Team for softball and there are three tournaments over the next 4 weeks, this year only one is an overnight trip to San Juan/Capistrano.

    DD is heading to MI in July after 4 weeks of summer school, she'll spend a week with her BFF and then I pick her up and we head to Chicago for my DS wedding reception (she was married in Jamaica in Nov). We'll spend a week there and then head to Washington, DC for 6 days - meeting up with DH. Then we will drive to Tennessee for my niece's wedding, we'll only be there for the weekend.

    We are thinking of going to WDW in November - no plans yet - I was told that the Fantasyland expansion would be opening then - so we'll try to tie our plans to that. Hopefully, Disney will come thru with some tickets for us as DH is the creative architect for the project.
