Just found updated Fl. resident rates for the week of Sept 5th that we had reservations for. The new rates just saved us over $150.00 for the 5 night stay.
Hoo Raa!!!
Joe
Score! Funny how these things just seem to work out.
Sounds to me like you need to stay an extra night with that extra $150!

Actually we could stay 2 extra nights with that saving. It's costing us a grand total of $300.00 for 5 nights at Pop Century. Now there will be enough money left to get something to eat besides peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Not a plan SpaceAce! We saved to outlay of 150 bucks but still don't want to just use it up somewhere else. Due to increased medical expences we must be more vigelent with our funds if we wish to keep visiting Disney 3 or 4 times a year. I know most folks plan their vacation a year in advance for the once a year visit to Disney. We did that years ago when much younger and still in business. We still spend 20 to 25 days a year at Disney, just broken up into small segments. Each trip averages between 6 and 7 hundred bucks total. We couldn't do it if we spent $60.00 or more on a meal like we used to.
Hey we're old folks. Even the little thrills wear us out.

Pix is Pop Century food court. Good food reasonable cost and full of the Disney Magic..

Joe, I love the chicken and ziti dish there. Have you had it?
Yes we have Brad. It's called Parmesan crusted chicken. It's about $8.&change.
Not a bad meal on a budget.

Is there anyone on this forum that is in a similar condition that Jan and I are in?
Over 65
Retired,
Not interested very much in rides,
Love Disney,
Try to make it there frequently on a limited, fixed income,
Or are we loners?
Hey, our grandkids show us love and great respect but they don't want to hang out with us. That's cool.

Sorry, Joe. We're not in the same place as you in life, but I sure am learning a lot from you here on the boards.
Quick question -- is that celebratory strawberry shortcake at Hoop Dee Doo Revue? Looks delicious.

I know there are a couple of people who are definitely less ride-centric who stop by sometimes. Although I don't think anyone goes as far as to not even bother with a ticket to the parks.

Yeah we definitely have some folks who are at a point in their lives where they don't care as much about the rides. Heck even I care less and less about the rides with each trip. But I think Joe takes the prize by not even buying a park ticket.
Only18 more days till the Disney magic and Jan went back into the hospital yesterday.
Oh well! Same old same old.

Hope everything is okay. Maybe she's just getting her hospital trip out of the way now so you can be ready to go to Disney.

It wouldn't be a Disney trip if you didn't have to bust Jan out of the hospital to go! 
Seriously, though, I hope Jan's feeling better today. Keep us updated on how long she's expected to be in this time.

Hey, Joe. Still thinking of you and Jan. Hopefully she's feeling better.
Hi Joe,
Disney day if finally here for you. Hope you and Jan have a "Magical" trip! Can't wait to hear about it and see your pictures.
Joe and DragynAlly are both ready to go! Have a blast guys!
Hard as I try it is difficult to retain the Disney spirit knowing that, due to Jan's health issues, we may not be making another trip there. Our romantic trips there in the past years have always given us our greatest pleasure and have kept Jan's purpose for fighting so alive. This last trip was very hard for her. We will just have to see what the future brings. In the meantime here are some pictures.

Joe: I'm glad you guys made it to Hoop-Dee-Doo. I was worried from your post that you might not make it there since Jan wasn't feeling well. Whoever sent you the gifts is really great! I sure hope you get to make another trip down, but I can understand why it might be a bit of a drag to think about it when you're not sure you will. You'll be in our thoughts.
Joe -- thanks for showing us the pics and letting us share in such a great gift of friendship. While Disney trips can be bittersweet when loved ones aren't feeling well, I'm still grateful that you two had the chance to bust out of the hospital and head to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Jan.

Exactly! Where's your sparkly adornment?
Great pics as always, Joe.
Joe, do they make you wear a tutu in the Navy? I think I read that somewhere.
