Our youngest is in 8th grade, and she too is a good girl. We've survived 6 other children (oldest is 32) and we'll celebrate our 33rd in November. Get the bride and groom ears and float on clouds while you're there. DL will exist just for you.

I'm hoping that we will be able to go early March! LOL..I will definitely shop around and price things out at all the different places to get the best rates I can! Thanks SoThisIsLove. I think 16 years together is pretty special, and he's still my prince-charming after all these years! And to think, you've had 33 wonderful years together!! You should do something extra special for yourselves as well! And I love the idea of the bride and groom ears...now to just talk my "prince" into it! *happy grin*

Originally Posted By mickeynewe *does the HAPPY DANCE, does the HAPPY DANCE* Okay, so some of you may know that we got to go to Club 33 last year for the first time. Well, there is a slight possibility, thanks to the wonderfully sweet friend I made last year, that we may get to go again this year!!!! She said she would call and try and get us a reservation! She isn't sure she can get a reservation on the date I requested but said she would do her best. She is an absolute sweetheart and I really enjoy our emails back and forth even though we don't get to chat too often. I felt so horrible asking her and imposing, I mean she was so gracious the first time, but I knew that it would be the icing on the cake for our vacation this year. So, let it be known, there are wonderfully sweet people out there that do wonderfully sweet things for strangers! Now, I will have to think of something sweet to do for her! *a shopping I will go, a shoppping I will go, heigh-ho a merry-o, a shopping I will go* With all that said, you can't forget the sweetest of them all that wait for you back home...say like your BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD who puts up with your silly moods and loves you anyways! *a shopping I will go, a shopping I will go....* . . . . . . . . hehehe..if you can't tell, I'm a little hyper and just a bit happy at the moment! LOL...too much caffeine tonight I think!

Originally Posted By mickeynewe LOL...for this family of 3...the WHOLE thing is cool! We really don't drink so we could care less about the beer/wine. We had the BEST time last year and it made our whole trip. It was awesome. The food was delicious. We sat next to the french doors and opened them up and listened to the music, looked out at all the Christmas decorations, people watched, bonded as a family. We spent a good 2.5-3 hours eating lunch up there and it was a memory we will never forget! As far as the rates to join, there are different rates. Corporate rates, personal memberships, etc. There are even different levels of personal memberships so the prices vary. I would so consider a personal membership. In fact, I may just put my name on a waiting list!

Originally Posted By mickeynewe Thanks wonderingalice! I'm still really excited.

So either way, I'm happy because I really did meet a nice friend. (Not to say I wouldn't be REALLY HAPPY if it does happen!) *silly, silly, smile*
Originally Posted By Duffy Take lots of pictures! i really want to know whats in there since CM arnt allowed up there either... Its privately owned...
Originally Posted By mickeynewe Its really pretty inside, mostly what I would call "peaceful". Lots of nice, dark wood. Quiet detailing. Simple but refined. I took lots of pictures last year. I have them loaded up on photobucket. I'll have to find the links and post them.
Originally Posted By mickeynewe *BOUNCING OFF WALLS* *Grabs 4Disnee, WonderingAlice, and Mollysmom's hands and drags them into the HAPPY DANCE* Guess what? Guess what? We have a reservation for Club 33 on our vacation! OMGosh, that is not even the half of it. This woman is so wonderfully sweet and generous. Not only did she make reservations for us, she said that she arranged to have (3) Park Hoppers waiting for us at guest relations! As much as I appreciate the extremely thoughtful gesture and how nice I think it is, I told her I didn't want to take advantage of her generosity. I just wanted to share this wonderful news with you and share the knowledge that people really do still take the extra effort to do something nice for one another. Now, to change modes for a moment.... for all my silliness on the boards, teasing, etc., I would like to take a moment to change gears and I ask for your indulgence. For those of you who believe in the power of prayer, this very dear lady just lost a dear friend this past week. If you can offer up a prayer, for a stranger, a kind and generous woman, that she and her friend's family may find peace in their time of sorrow, I would greatly appreciate your help! I will definitely be offering up prayers of my own. Thanks everyone!

This trip couldn't get any more perfect, could it? After your alloted 5 minutes, you darn well better bet that I will say many prayers for this nice lady, and her friend's family.
Originally Posted By 4Disnee Woo Hoo Mickeynewe, I am so darn excited for you that is just off the hook awesome!!!! Oh and I hope that you have the ressies for 6 cause we will be meeting you in the park on that day momma. LOL I am sending lots of hugs and love your friends way.
Originally Posted By mickeynewe Thank you both for your kind thoughts and prayers. I am sure that my friend will appreciate them! She truly is a sweet woman and I hope that our prayers will lighten her sorrow. Thanks everyone! *grabs 4Disnee's and Mollymom's hands and skips happily down Main Street...in my own mind of course* hehehe
