TurkeyPants...Nicole

when I see you there I will believe it LOL

Non-refundable deposits made! Refundable deposits made! Vacation time fully approved! Bags are packed! See you there! :banana:

We'll be there November 1-14 in a preferred pet loop! :parrot:

It looks like this is a viable option to combine Disney Gift Cards that are received throughout the year. And, if you buy a bunch of the gift cards from Target with the Target Red card to get a 5% discount, you can combine them also - that discount would save you $50/$1000 plus you would get an additional $20 reward from the vacation account.

Also, you can make deposits by credit card - if you were to use your Disney Visa Card, you could get Rewards on that in addition to the $20/$1000 reward that this account offers.

It's funny that you posted this today because I just found it yesterday! I like the idea, but most local banks have Vacation Savings Accounts that you can set up to earn interest on your savings. That said, as soon as we book a Disney Vacation, I turn into a "OMG WE'RE GOING! PLEASE TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY RIGHT NOW EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE IT! WHAT CAN I BUY THAT'S DISNEY RELATED? IS 10 MONTHS EARLY TOO SOON TO PACK?" type of planner. This might be a good way to satisfy my "DISNEY TAKE MY MONEY" fix on a more affordable basis.

While you can't do an internship/CP, you could become a CM for 6 months.

If only you were going to be at WDW in the near future, you could start the process.

I will sign up tomorrow! After I sleep. A lot.

I want to do a Disney Internship!

But the worst thing is that you might run into Mo and her crazy sister in-law.

Hey, I resemble that remark! For the record I'm not crazy my mother had me tested I'm enthusiastic. There's a difference.

I am so ready for this trip. I love that we are spending more time getting there, than actually being there. Hooray for overnight car rides!

I cannot even contain my enthusiasm anymore :jumpforjoy :banana:

I am so lucky to have a sister-in-law that is as crazy  out of her mind  off her rocker excited as I am!

Very few people could.

 

Nicole thinks she can.

 

We shall see...  

I feel like this is a challenge of some sort and we agreed no challenges for this trip. Knock it off. We both know I can handle it, I'm amazing. :batman:

I can bring snacks and drinks and I am great at driving. Just sayin.

I am not sure you understand quite what you are getting yourself into asking questions like this...

Note to self:  if I ever need to hire a long-distance driver, call Mo.

We are actually shipping ourselves there via Overnight Fed-Ex.

And Gwen - I do almost all the driving when we tow the camper down anyway.  I can drive a plain ol' car 1400 miles with one eye closed, sitting on one hand.  

You heard her say it folks! It's all you Mo! :heartsmiley:

:dropjaw:  :bugeyes:  :dropjaw:   Don't you live something like 1100 miles from the fort?

It's actually about 1350 miles. Nothing some good music, lots of giggles, and snacks won't make fly by!

At 8pm tonight, all of you sane Fiends out there yell out.

ARE YOU TWO OUT OF YOUR MINDS?

Why, yes. Yes we are. I am surprised that you didn't know that already. And you call yourself a fiend.

Let's just hope we're not found giggling in a ditch somewhere along 95. 

How would that be a bad thing? :rollercoaster:

Personally, I think you should make that drive a bit shorter, and go To Townsend, TN instead and spend time with FIENDS!!!!!!

Do you have Kona bread and Dole Whips?

Ditto!!  :D

 

...actually there is a better than pretty darned good chance that Nicole (aka TurkeyPants) and I have finagled a way to make  a "what are you whackos thinking?!?!" road trip down for this.

 

...as in, we have booked a room

 

... and have magic bands

 

...and I bought a park ticket (she has an AP)

 

...I made a couple of ADRs

 

 

Bring on the insanity!!

 

 

:bf-birddancingsmiley:

If yesterday was a sampling of what's to come - Disney won't know what hit it. :jumpforjoy

Has anyone done this before? I am thinking of making it a running goal with a friend.

Both races are full. You have to plan WAY ahead for runDisney runs.

They are full if you sign up through the runDisney website. Some of the Charity groups still have availability, but you have to fundraise for it.

FastPasses are non existent for anything you'd actually want to ride.

The good news is that the Tiki Room and Carousel of Progress are walk on. How can that be, it's everybody's favorite.

I love COP. It's always nice and cool in there.

Not the Dole Whip machine!  :panic:

Another thought (look out!): There is not a lot of storage for clothing/luggage in the cabins. You have 6 drawers and a closet - 2 of the drawers are in the nightstand. When we emptied our 2 suitcases, all of H's clothes went in the drawers, some things were hung up in the closet and all my clothes were arranged on the top bunk. The floor of the closet barely fit our suitcases in it. So - if you are a family of 6 flying in for a week long trip with all of your luggaage, you may have to get creative!

The hairdryer is mounted on the wall in the bedroom - so, if that bothers you, bring your own!

Picture of the outside - picnic table is on the porch:

(golf cart and husband not included)

I liked almost everything about the cabins. The only thing I could complain about is that you can't really comfortably relax outside because you only have a picnic table.
