Snow Snow & more Snow

Here are a few of the scences from around the house this past Sunday...The last few weeks have been horrible winter weather.











We are certainly glad to be gearing up for our quick weekend to Disney. It is going to be 86 in Orlando Friday!! Look for us on ESPN we are going to try and catch some of the tapings while we are there. Until we return.....

See ya real soon!

Congratulations are in order

Katharine's sister Kim and her b/f Rick were engaged on Saturday February 17, 2007!!

We know they are flying high with emotion right now and we wish them all the best in their life together.

Brand New Look & Catching Up

Well we have revamped the blog page and are making a point to update more regularly. Let us know what you think of the new layout by leaving a comment so that we know you have stopped by and read about us.

So what have you guys been up to lately?

on Jan 25-29 we made the trek down to our beloved WDW again. The trip was great! As we told you in our last post, we decided to give the Animal Kingdom Lodge a try. This resort was amazing!! We had a wonderful view from our fifth floor balcony. We could be giraffe, bongos, Tommie's and other assorted African animals. They are free roaming so you never know what you are going to see. There were also some spoonbill birds that had a nest with eggs. It was interesting to watch them maintain and guard the nest as a family. The resort itself is beautiful. Dark rich woods and earthy smells fill the resorts lobby and that peaceful ambiance follows into the rooms as well. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely make another reservation here in the future. Other than the resort we had some incredible fun and great meals as always. We actually tried all new restaurants with the exception of two. The weather was interesting, it was in the 50's for highs with the exception of one day when it got to 68. Night time was rather chilly ( or down right cold for the Floridians) upper 30-mid 40 lows. It was kind of weird to be walking around Disney with a jacket or coat on. but it certainly did not take away from our fun.

What's next for a Cplofdisneynutz??

For this past trip we decided to look into the investment of getting annual passes rather than just park tickets. With the passes you get all kinds of discounts and perks and we did the math and saw that we would actually save money for the year this way. Tickets can be a pricey addition to the cost of the trip. So with the tickets no longer a concern and coupled with the room discounts we get it is now even easier to save up for the trips. Airfare, hotel & food are now the only concerns. With credit card and frequent flyer rewards airfare is much cheaper. So the motto any excuse to go to Disney is a good enough reason for us now has a new meaning :D

To make things even more tempting Michael was recently contacted by someone he knew from college. Come to find out they work for Disney and if that isn't good enough she offered her hotel discount she gets for friends & family.....Oh NO!! Well, that said we were given a H E double hockey sticks of a deal on a room and airfare for ESPN weekend. Katharine has always want to attend this event and even with the recent trip fresh on the mind.....Back we go. March 2-5!!!

This is heaven for Disney World fanatics like us. We will tell you all about it when we get back.

12 days til Disney!! Whoo hoo!!

See you real soon gang!!
