Tina,

I'm surprised that we never saw you :rolleyes: ! Where did you stay? We miss it already, too. The weather was great and it was the perfect escape from life here in the "real" world. I doubt we will sell our DVC points now, and in fact, we may end up with more some day.

We stayed one night at All Star Movies, 7 nights at the Marriott Grande Vista & 3 nights at the Swan. We used a trade for Marriott and points for the Swan. We went to Saratoga Springs to see the BLT models and LOVED them. We liked the decor of Animal Kingdom better but the BLT models had a great little kitchenette. Good enough that we'd consider staying in a studio. So, we are seriously considering adding on here. We didn't really enjoy our stay off-site. It was okay but not what we envisioned. You can definitely say we have been bitten by the Mouse.

Wish I had learned about timeshares in my 30's and 40's rather than my late 50's!

great photo - Robin loves the turtle t-shirt. It would have been a really precious photo if your son and hubby had the same shirts on also.

RnD will update our photos during our upcoming WSJ stay - except I am getting older and Robin is getting younger.

LOL, Crazy Shirts at the Lahaina Cannery Mall was having a sale and those shirts were 50% off :cheer: ! They only had S and M left, and they were Women's shirts, so DD and I lucked out. I got a great coffee-dyed shirt for half off too! Crazy Shirts is celebrating its 45th anniversary, so there is a nice promo shirt given away for spending $100 or more.
