Roger, a lifetime Affordable Disney member, writes:
"John,
In 2006 I made a lengthy Florida trim with my grandsons. I found a lot of your information very helpful, especially Beth, [your travel agent], she is simply the best. I am planning a trip in July 1012. I have a couple of questions for Beth. One question I am sure you will know, is there such thing as a group discount? If so, how many people constitute a group? There will be a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 15 on this trip. Also thanks so much for making my 2006 vacation the most it could be... I will say this, going left instead of right usually insures less of a crowd. Also one lesson I learned, if you buy the meal plan, and your last day in a park is with 'Magic Hours' ends up being after midnight, you meal ticket will have expired. Tell your subscribers to make sure they use any unused meal tickets before midnight... Thanks again for all of your wonderful tips and suggestions."
Thanks again, Roger, for your kind comments! I'm glad you enjoyed your last Disney vacation, Yes, Beth is a peach. Disney has Grand Gatherings for groups of 8 or more. Beth will give you all the details.

Kate writes:
"thanks for the timely tip! we were able to call and pre-order our annual passes for a trip we will go on in December. with 3 trips to disney planned for the 12 months following, the annual pass is a good deal!"
Members who missed the deadline can still buy their tickets from
our ticket agent while supplies last and save up to 15% on their tickets compared to the prices Disney just started charging! For example, (4) 4-day park hoppers (14-day expiration), including tax: Disney: $1269; our Affordable Disney ticket agent: $1076! You save $193 or 15%!

LET US PRAY...
As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.
Here is an excerpt from my latest book due to be published by the end of the year:
PRAYING THE PSALMS FOR THE UNBORN CHILD
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.
In all the psalms Jesus or His Church is praying to the Father [1].
Psalm 9
A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God's Justice.
The Last Judgment
1I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
2I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish before You.
4For You have maintained my just cause;
You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.
7But the LORD abides forever;
He has established His throne for judgment,
8And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
9The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;
10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His deeds.
12For He who requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13Be gracious to me, O LORD;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14That I may tell of all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD has made Himself known;
He has executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared.
17The wicked will return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget God.
18For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
20Put them in fear, O LORD;
Let the nations know that they are but men. [21]
Psalm 9 and 10 concern the return of Jesus at the end of the world when He will come to judge the living and the dead. [22] It is also our prayer of praise to the Lord for all His marvelous works (9:1): His incarnation, suffering and death, resurrection and ascension, descent of the Holy Spirit, and the establishment of the Church. Moreover, it gives reverence to our Lord's name, at whose utterance every knee must bend. [23]
I will praise You, O Lord, for Your marvelous works (9:1). I will rejoice in You and praise Your name because You have defeated my enemies (9:2-3) and judged in favor of my cause (9:4).
You have scolded the godless and destroyed those who do evil (9:5) and erased their memory (9:6). But You, O Lord, reign eternally in heaven on Your throne of judgment (9:7) from where You will judge the world with justice and fairness (9:8).
Your kingdom will be a place of peace and comfort for those who have suffered (9:9). You will not abandon those who trusted in You (9:10). May all those in heaven and in your Church on earth (Zion) praise Your mighty deeds (9:11). You demand justice and remember the cries of the suffering (9:12).
Have mercy on me, O Lord. Rescue me from the devil and raise me up on the last day (9:13). I will praise You in the heavenly Jerusalem (daughter of Zion) and rejoice in Your saving grace (9:14). The wicked are caught in their own traps (9:15) and bring about their own destruction. The Lord judges fairly and those who do evil are ensnared by their own wicked actions (9:16).
On Judgment Day the wicked and all those who reject God will be cast into hell (9:17). But the needy and those who suffer will see God (9:18). O Lord, from Your judgment seat judge the godless. Fill the wicked with fear and cast them away in their powerlessness (9:20).
Prayer for life: Dear Lord, at the hour of my death, when I appear before Your awesome judgment seat, forgive my sins, defend me against the accusations of the evil one, and welcome me into Your kingdom. Look favorably upon Your faithful servant who, against the counsel of a wicked and depraved society, will give birth to the child in my womb. Help me, Lord, through difficult times ahead, for You are my rock, the source of all my strength. Amen.

Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)

"John,
In 2006 I made a lengthy Florida trim with my grandsons. I found a lot of your information very helpful, especially Beth, [your travel agent], she is simply the best. I am planning a trip in July 1012. I have a couple of questions for Beth. One question I am sure you will know, is there such thing as a group discount? If so, how many people constitute a group? There will be a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 15 on this trip. Also thanks so much for making my 2006 vacation the most it could be... I will say this, going left instead of right usually insures less of a crowd. Also one lesson I learned, if you buy the meal plan, and your last day in a park is with 'Magic Hours' ends up being after midnight, you meal ticket will have expired. Tell your subscribers to make sure they use any unused meal tickets before midnight... Thanks again for all of your wonderful tips and suggestions."
Thanks again, Roger, for your kind comments! I'm glad you enjoyed your last Disney vacation, Yes, Beth is a peach. Disney has Grand Gatherings for groups of 8 or more. Beth will give you all the details.

LET US PRAY...
As many of you know, I am an author of Catholic prayer books. One of the best ways to know Jesus more intimately and show our love for Him is through prayer. Prayer keeps us focused on the spiritual life and opens a channel for grace so He can make His presence known to us.
Here is an excerpt from my latest book due to be published by the end of the year:
PRAYING THE PSALMS FOR THE UNBORN CHILD
Copyright © 2011 by John P. Gross. All rights reserved.
In all the psalms Jesus or His Church is praying to the Father [1].
Psalm 9
A Psalm of Thanksgiving for God's Justice.
The Last Judgment
1I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders.
2I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3When my enemies turn back,
They stumble and perish before You.
4For You have maintained my just cause;
You have sat on the throne judging righteously.
5You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6The enemy has come to an end in perpetual ruins,
And You have uprooted the cities;
The very memory of them has perished.
7But the LORD abides forever;
He has established His throne for judgment,
8And He will judge the world in righteousness;
He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.
9The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;
10And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,
For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion;
Declare among the peoples His deeds.
12For He who requires blood remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13Be gracious to me, O LORD;
See my affliction from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14That I may tell of all Your praises,
That in the gates of the daughter of Zion
I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
16The LORD has made Himself known;
He has executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared.
17The wicked will return to Sheol,
Even all the nations who forget God.
18For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.
19Arise, O LORD, do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged before You.
20Put them in fear, O LORD;
Let the nations know that they are but men. [21]
Psalm 9 and 10 concern the return of Jesus at the end of the world when He will come to judge the living and the dead. [22] It is also our prayer of praise to the Lord for all His marvelous works (9:1): His incarnation, suffering and death, resurrection and ascension, descent of the Holy Spirit, and the establishment of the Church. Moreover, it gives reverence to our Lord's name, at whose utterance every knee must bend. [23]
I will praise You, O Lord, for Your marvelous works (9:1). I will rejoice in You and praise Your name because You have defeated my enemies (9:2-3) and judged in favor of my cause (9:4).
You have scolded the godless and destroyed those who do evil (9:5) and erased their memory (9:6). But You, O Lord, reign eternally in heaven on Your throne of judgment (9:7) from where You will judge the world with justice and fairness (9:8).
Your kingdom will be a place of peace and comfort for those who have suffered (9:9). You will not abandon those who trusted in You (9:10). May all those in heaven and in your Church on earth (Zion) praise Your mighty deeds (9:11). You demand justice and remember the cries of the suffering (9:12).
Have mercy on me, O Lord. Rescue me from the devil and raise me up on the last day (9:13). I will praise You in the heavenly Jerusalem (daughter of Zion) and rejoice in Your saving grace (9:14). The wicked are caught in their own traps (9:15) and bring about their own destruction. The Lord judges fairly and those who do evil are ensnared by their own wicked actions (9:16).
On Judgment Day the wicked and all those who reject God will be cast into hell (9:17). But the needy and those who suffer will see God (9:18). O Lord, from Your judgment seat judge the godless. Fill the wicked with fear and cast them away in their powerlessness (9:20).
Prayer for life: Dear Lord, at the hour of my death, when I appear before Your awesome judgment seat, forgive my sins, defend me against the accusations of the evil one, and welcome me into Your kingdom. Look favorably upon Your faithful servant who, against the counsel of a wicked and depraved society, will give birth to the child in my womb. Help me, Lord, through difficult times ahead, for You are my rock, the source of all my strength. Amen.
