The new ADR system has been delayed to November 21, 2008. I think it was supposed to ready to go late October.
Staples was actually not too bad, it looked like a boom hit it. I even found everything I needed, including the $115 calculator my DS needs for Algebra.
much less sophisticated than your sons
We were thinking what a dumb butt purchase...he'd lose it FAST and also in college it's all done on a computer anyway. When I bought HIS it was $130 3 or 4 yrs ago.
But I bet it was the same one....you got a deal! 
Is all I can say. LIterally laughed out loud. You kill me you sweet thing. 
It's just all bottled up isn't it?! YEP...TGIF is right. OK, so the Red Sox didn't break his wrist (sorry Kel!!!!!!!) Apprantly the dumby was mad when he struck out against Cleveland and went to slap his hand at the bat in frustration and did it
And now Minnesota is back home against the lowly Tigers
). I saw him hit his hand on the bat...then he cleared up the rumor that said he hit his hand against a wall and that's what did it. Who knows...at least they took it to the Angels tonight 
I just read that bed bug thread!!! EEEWWWW....
I'm itching just thinking about it
I guess that the only thing that you can do is to check the bedding and other areas in the room before settling in...
And I thought people were going overboard cleaning theirs rooms before staying in them
I guess it can happen anywhere
He said, "I don't think so" I haven't come across any threads about GF so crossing my fingers that isn't an issue there. I know I'm going to be trying to go bed at night thinking about bed bugs...EWWWWW!
She sure picked a great place to call home 
....dont let it ruin your trip anticipation...just think of all the room that dont have bugs...
today... if I ever catch up I'll let you know what the trick is
. . But I know what you mean about getting it booked.....makes it more "official" once you have something in place 
. I watch my ticker daily just waiting for it to go down another month . . Too cute about your dd....but you got her on the right track with the GF 
.
Deb....laundry isn't moving. I was out most of the day - it was crazy busy today.
Happy night all!
WHERE'S MORE PICS?!?!?!?!
Channing
!!! And I never did get to the ironing......so I'm no better off than I was a day or two ago . And all I've accomplished so far today is changing the sheets on all the beds.........which only made MORE laundry 
!!! 
. Channing & Deb We always took out kids out of school for our Disney vacations UNTIL HS...
After that we would look at the school calendar and whenever they had an xtra day or two off we'd make that the vacation ( only down side the trips were only 4-5 days long-but better than nothing...)
We much prefer Oct/Nov or early Dec (epecially with the holiday decor etc)
BTW when we went to MK the day before we left in Aug the MK was decorated for Halloween...it looked great but...just a little too early
. We too prefer Oct/Nov and any time in Dec 
......but summers will probably be it for the next few years. But although it's HOT....we spend so much more time at the resort since we go so often, that we will be enjoying the heat while at the pool....so it won't be too bad . And I agree with the decor.....way too early 
. But it is pretty .. It's nice and sunny here today 
but they are forecasting rain for Mon/Tues 
. So everyone enjoy the nice weather while it's here. I'll be checking in throughout the day in between laundry loads and ironing....Chan....get busy on that laundry . 
I would LOVE to be able to make ADRs online....that would be awesome!!!!! That way it can be done any time day or night.
Hi Deb
I would also like to be able to make ADRs online. I am a little nervous about the thought of another WDW interface though, as I have found that their systems do not always talk to each other!
Where are you thinking of dining?
and did I get used to that (no school "rules" about missing days)......that's when we started going in Oct/Nov/Dec without any worry about the boys missing school....especially since I was the principal/teacher . But that was just something I did temporarily due to some issues we had at the elementary school that had no solution in sight . And I knew it was only temporary since kids need to be around other kids daily and I knew I would have a tough time getting through ms schooling them let alone hs . So once each of them hit the ms level (6th grade), they went back and have been doing great ever since .....so I guess I did something right those 4 years 
. But it gets tougher each year to take them out once they get to a certain grade level 
. Thanks for asking!! We have a few pics of the party, not as many as I hoped, as DAunt was busy greeting her guests and I was busy with DD and DS! Nobody else is really into taking pics. We actually (at Channing's suggestion) tried to have a Disney photographer take pics, but they never got back to us when we inquired. 
In all other areas though, they were FANTASTIC! It was really something else and DAunt was truly surprised!

Hey, hcts
I hate this stuff. I do not mind putting in the dryer but I am not good at folding and putting it away. I have clothes on every bed right now staring at me wanting to get put in the drawers. I wish I could hire someone just to do the laundry and I would do the rest.
to see more pictures. . I wish a code would come out for our days but I know I am dreamin. I looked up ressies for the time over Christmas and a lot of the resorts still have a lot of availability. New Years seems booked but Christmas does not...so I guess I can still dream.
Just cant get moving today...
I'm glad it wasn't the Red Sox. We want to win, but not at the expense of someone getting hurt.OK, so the Red Sox didn't break his wrist (sorry Kel!!!!!!!) Apprantly the dumby was mad when he struck out against Cleveland and went to slap his hand at the bat in frustration and did it

Can I come over here and play too.Hope it passes quickly and you don't have any damage. We are getting a lot of rain now and the winds and more heavy rain is supposed to move in sometime after midnight. We have a stone driveway and it has been pretty much washed out by last nights rain, hope it can stand another night.
(OMG...that sounds Amish ) I am with her. Everytime I stay at the GF I think....I WANNA LIVE HERE! I love that place. It is so funny becasue I am a mega homebody and I love my home, too...and they are 180 different. For me, it's the being waited on, no cooking, no laundry, etc...I think - that makes it so fabulous. HOpefully we play a nice team today. OMG..you are so funny about the GF at Xmas....I can't believe you!!! Seriously are you going to just be surprised?!?! That is a riot. Yes 4420 is right off the lounge. It's an awesome room - I saw in it - and location. It's very large!! That sounds fun roasting hot dogs and marshmallows!! It has been beautiful weather here. Hang tight. Hope it passes soon! 
I told a CM friend about that idea and they really were excited and thought that would be perfect. I wonder what happened.....
Hey, hcts
Deb I like all of the dinig options at the GF also...GF Cafe is a favorite of mine...If you can try Narcooses too...their food is delicious
So many great restaurants to choose from...have fun planning!!
. Now my other DS.......if there's steak (preferably filet ) he's a happy camper....as is DH . But my oldest doesn't venture much from cheeseburgers & chicken tenders . I would love to try those 2 as well as California Grill at the CR but it worries me that he won't find anything to eat at any one of those places . I know (from experience the last 7 years ) that Disney is very accommodating....but I'm a little worried they won't be able to accommodate his pickiness at those more upscale restaurants . So if you can give me an idea of what DS can get at any of those places (any or all of the 3 you've been to), I would be most greatful . I've also got Yachtsman Steakhouse on the list as a possibility too . There are just too many places that we love or want to try that I can't fit them all in 8 days....so I guess I'll just have to take more than 1 trip a year just to try the restaurants . . It would be neat to be able to just sit at your own computer and make the ressies, but I don't think it will go over too well unless Disney gets a reliable system .
