DDA Chapter 9

[lovespoohbear]

Hey all! here is our new home.

DDA originally stood for Disney Design Addicts as most of the posters were addicted to making t-shirt designs. Those designers are still here and many many more people have joined our friendly community. We think that DDA still fits whether you be a Disney Design Addict, Dear Disney Addict, Disney Dream-aholics, Disney Dream Addicts or whatever other acronymn you'd like to throw in there.

Welcome to all the returning posters and welcome to any newcomers that might like to chat about design and all things Disney.

Copied from Deb and Theresa because they worded it so well.

Hello DDA!!! :goodvibes

[lovespoohbear]

hi

[mommykds]

I just wrote this on the other thread but I thought I would put it here in case no one sees it...

After much hemming & hawwing about my resort choice & saving some $ I have switched our ressie from BC to POR. I saved $1200 with the AP rate PLUS dining over my CM rate & OOP for dining. If we took only one trip this year I would have left it at the BC but since we already were lucky enough to go to the BWI this year I knew this was the better choice to make. Of course I will miss my BC but the savings will make up for it. My only peeve with POR was the buses but now we will have our own car so it should be fine.

We have to come in a day earlier so our trip dates are 8/17-8/29. Anyone still there on 8/17???

I am so excited!

sounds wonderful....and saving money too!! :thumbsup2

[tinker1bell]

So Stephanie and I were driving to lunch and I asked her if I could buy the plane tickets for the trip down when SW puts out the ding on June 26. Now, mind you, I am a little slow at times. I was born blonde. :lmao:
I guess I figured that the dates were only open to the beginning of our trip. Not for the whole month of December.

I could see that she was getting a little frustrated cause at one time she crossed herself and muttered, 'God she was born blonde' :lmao:

I kept thinking since I had the $$ now I would get tickets for the flight down if that was okay with her. She kept saying that I could do it and she would get them for the way home. Whatever time I wanted, coming or going was okay. Needless to say, I muttered under my breath something like witch while I was getting out of the car. :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


So, we are sitting at our favorite Sushi place and she asked me if the headrest worked out fine today. She was able to get it fixed.

We came in my car-----------


















:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2: not hers.

We figure there has to be some blonde in her too.:rotfl2:

And I answered you on the other thread, but I will answer you here too.

Man, Anne Marie, we miss you by 2 days. I hope you really enjoy POR. But you are right, with the savings AND the DDP, it really was a no-brainer. Now you can put that $$ toward your NEXT vacation at BC! :yay:

[lovespoohbear]

steffie and terry you two sound just like desi and i. i just hope we are still like you two when we get older

denise i hope your tests go well and the birthday parties turn out to be a lot of fun. one thing Theresa didnt say is dad is at the surgeons as we speak for his heart surgery and ONLY 3 weeks and 2 days till class starts for my new puppy.

We like POR, and that is a significant savings! I've been thinking about a moderate, but I'm leaving it at POP. This is supposed to be as low-budget as possible for me.

We're at WDW from 8/13-8/23, so we'll still be there!

[tinknme]

I replied to this on the other thread too :rotfl: So here it is!

Oh change it to 2 days earlier :rotfl: We leave on the 16th! Elizabeth will be there on the 17th, not sure what time they leave & Bernadette will be there.

If you arrive on the 14th you & your family can join all of us at Cape May for dinner :teeth:

My only worry was the buses as well, but we will make do & you have made me feel much better! I know you are saving a lot of money, but to leave BC for POR, says a lot :thumbsup2

That's ok...I can't really keep everyone's dates straight.

I really think that I would have changed hotels by now if I had "control" of my own reservation. It really is best to just keep it, though, so I'm glad I don't. We'll see how Laura feels about it tomorrow! Though she is going to catch me if I keep typing about it now with her home. :rotfl:

Well I look forward to meeting you at dinner!

I think that is a great decision. We have stayed at POR and POFQ and liked them both. POR was definitely roomier than POP, but not hard to navigate. We too had a car so no problems there.


Glad you're home safely Denise. Travelling with kids is oh so much fun. I can't wait to travel home from Florida with all 3 boys :crazy: I hope that more kids can come to the party. Are their any cousins or neighborhood kids that you could invite just to boost numbers?

We don't have one around here and don't get to Disney until the 28th :sad:

All this talk of resort changes is kind of funny. We typically go as least expensive as possible because really we are not in the room much at all. With the cost of living rising exponentially we just feel priveledged to be able to vacation as often and as long as we do. This trip is for 3 weeks and we have fun things planned, but it will definitely be a budget trip. We will eat in the camper as much as reasonable possible and limit souveniers. As long as we have fun that is all that matters. :woohoo:

[Pooh67_68]

I was born a toehead and use the excuse, "I was born a blond" a lot. :rotfl:

[my3princes]

This has been one interesting day to say the least. The kids have been as well behaved as 5 kids can be. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm not going to question it. I worked in my bedroom while they watched Toy Story and Toy Story 2. Then I was looking for something in the master bedroom closet and the shelf and clothes bar on Chris' side ripped out of the wall. Everything hit the floor. What a mess. It made some nice holes in the wall too. I was able to use big wall anchors and longer screws to get it back up without much visible damage. When Chris gets home he needs to weed out about 2/3 of the crab he has in there. He wears uniforms for work so it's not like he needs tons of clothes. The problem is that he is a pack rack. Chances are he will not wear his high school football jersey again, but it was still hanging in the closet :confused3 I also managed to replace the thermostat in our room.

I think that other than a quick clean through next week I'm all set there. At least it will be after Chris does his part tonight.

:crazy: is how I might look after 15 days in the car with 3 kids! Fortunately, mine travel pretty well. I was going to say that they are older, but sometimes that is even worse. :rotfl:

Well, Chuck was going to go camping tonight and I was going to meet him tomorrow. While I was helping him get the camper ready, there was a very loud noise and smoke coming out from under the Denali. Thank goodness it looks like something to do with the air conditioning. A line came disconnected. Chuck is working on getting it in for service in the morning so we'll still be able to go for the rest of the week-end.

For a few minutes there, I thought I was going to have the house all to myself for a night. Oh well, maybe next time.

does anyone have 2 teeshirt transfers i can have? i pay ya for them.You can get a small (like 3 sheets) package at JoAnn fabrics or Micheals and they always have like 40% off coupons. It would be less than it would cost to ship some to you and I'm not real good about making it to the PO when I need to.

The other food there was great. They had a really nice made to order pasta station-you chose your pasta, your sauce, what veggies, and could add shrimp or chicken. It was really good and the portions were huge! I got Emma plain pasta one night but she wouldn't eat it because it was a high protein pasta and she didn't like the look of it. I think she's a tiny bit better this year but I'll enjoy having the microwave and I'm bringing a hot pot too so she can have soup or hot dogs or easymac.

Chuck and I enjoy the food court at POR so much that we took the boat from OKW to DTD. Then the boat from DTD to POR just for dinner. We needed a relaxing evening away from my sister and decided that riding the boat was just the ticket. Mom and the girls came with us. Chuck ordered a beef dinner and I ordered a turkey dinner. They were both really good. Katrina and Mom got two different kinds of pasta with sauce. We all shared and have some of everything. Yummy! And then we repeated the boat rides back to OKW. It was a wonderful evening. We also got some brownies and magic (7-layer) bars for when we got back to the resort. Piano Bob was at POR that night so we stayed to watch him for a while as well.

I didn't realize you had actually purchased these. :rotfl: Those are cute. I say go for it if they are comfortable. Most likely no one is going to see them anyway. That is why I wore the square dance shoes. Very plain but comfortable.

there's a thread on the CB about God answering prayers. I am reminded daily that God answers prayers through all of you.:goodvibes

We are still having difficulty here that doesn't really have anything to do with money so I still would love the prayers heading this way.


Prayers and pixiedust: for you as long as you need them. I sure hope things get worked out on all sides soon.

Hey all! here is our new home.

DDA originally stood for Disney Design Addicts as most of the posters were addicted to making t-shirt designs. Those designers are still here and many many more people have joined our friendly community. We think that DDA still fits whether you be a Disney Design Addict, Dear Disney Addict, Disney Dream-aholics, Disney Dream Addicts or whatever other acronymn you'd like to throw in there.

Welcome to all the returning posters and welcome to any newcomers that might like to chat about design and all things Disney.

I just wrote this on the other thread but I thought I would put it here in case no one sees it...

After much hemming & hawwing about my resort choice & saving some $ I have switched our ressie from BC to POR. I saved $1200 with the AP rate PLUS dining over my CM rate & OOP for dining. If we took only one trip this year I would have left it at the BC but since we already were lucky enough to go to the BWI this year I knew this was the better choice to make. Of course I will miss my BC but the savings will make up for it. My only peeve with POR was the buses but now we will have our own car so it should be fine.

We have to come in a day earlier so our trip dates are 8/17-8/29. Anyone still there on 8/17???

I am so excited!

I think you made a wise choice, Anne Marie. For what it's worth, we love POR. It is one of our favorite moderate resorts! And we never had any bus problems.

[PNO4TE]

So Stephanie and I were driving to lunch and I asked her if I could buy the plane tickets for the trip down when SW puts out the ding on June 26. Now, mind you, I am a little slow at times. I was born blonde. :lmao:
I guess I figured that the dates were only open to the beginning of our trip. Not for the whole month of December.

I could see that she was getting a little frustrated cause at one time she crossed herself and muttered, 'God she was born blonde' :lmao:

I kept thinking since I had the $$ now I would get tickets for the flight down if that was okay with her. She kept saying that I could do it and she would get them for the way home. Whatever time I wanted, coming or going was okay. Needless to say, I muttered under my breath something like witch while I was getting out of the car. :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


So, we are sitting at our favorite Sushi place and she asked me if the headrest worked out fine today. She was able to get it fixed.

We came in my car-----------


















:lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2: not hers.

We figure there has to be some blonde in her too.:rotfl2:

:rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: you two kill me!

[PNO4TE]

Yeah, the CM discount is good but you cannot get the DDP with it. it just made more sense...I am sorry we miss you but hopefully we will swing by you on our way back home. Our driving dates coming home are now 8/29 & 8/30 (fri & sat)

When I PMed you I thought you were talking about July for some odd reason. If you guys end up being in this area in August on a Friday or a Saturday I would be able to do either dinner or breakfast!

[PNO4TE]

Surgery is scheduled. its next Thursday. He will have a valve replacement and a double bypass so please send prayers to my family and that the doctors have a steady hand and he comes out fine.

You have them, Karen. :hug:

[lovespoohbear]

Done:)

[PNO4TE]

Elin - what time would you like me to pick you up in the morning? I see you can buy the tickets online. Do you want me to do that?

Did you buy them yet? That would be great, or I can do it. Let me know. Also let me know what time is good for you all... 10:00??

[Tammi67]

Well I might as well stay here and wait for Elin to catch up and answer my post. http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/1.gif

[PNO4TE]

I think Chuck should camp in the driveway. A little camping for Chuck.....a little alone time for you.....everybody's happy. :rotfl: ;)

::yes:: Sounds like a great plan to me!

[Tammi67]

Well that didn't take long. I will go ahead and buy them for the 10:30 tour, and pick you up a little after 10.

There is a $2 service charge for each advance purchase ticket. What do you think?

[UP Disney]

Well I might as well stay here and wait for Elin to catch up and answer my post. http://bestsmileys.com/anxious/1.gif

:lmao: :rotfl: The only thing funnier would have been if the time was exactly the same instead of 1 minute apart.

[PNO4TE]

Done:)

Thanks! :)

[PNO4TE]

Well that didn't take long. I will go ahead and buy them for the 10:30 tour, and pick you up a little after 10.

It's just because she was impatient... :rotfl2:

[PNO4TE]

I don't care about the service charge. So go ahead and order them. The weather is going to be nice and the Harley crowd is in town so it might sell out quickly.

[Tammi67]

Elin - did you see my edit to one of the above posts. It's an extra 8 bucks to buy the tickets online. What do you think? Do you think we will have a hard time getting tix if we wait till morning, or do you want me to splurge. :)

[Tammi67]

Boy we are just seconds apart tonight.

If you guys end up being in this area in August on a Friday or a Saturday I would be able to do either dinner or breakfast!Excellent. Our game plan it to make it to VA on friday 8/29. If we can make it before too late we can do dinner or if we do get to VA too late then we can meet the next morning for breakfast (sat 8/30). :woohoo:

[mommykds]

I texted Dana about the changes..he writes back


"Are you sure you can live without the Beach Club?"


:lmao:

then I text back "yes"....10 seconds later I get "ARE YOU SURE???"

:rotfl2:

[my3princes]

Chris has his part of the closet back together and he switched his summer and winter clothes around. I managed to hang some of our photos on the walls, but the size and shape of others have me boggled. I may need a few more to place in similar sized frames to even things out. I won't hang any of our Disney prints until we get back in case our collection grows :rolleyes1

Laundry is done and the laudry room is picked up :thumbsup2 Things are moving along. I work tomorrow night so that will slow things up again.

[mommykds]

Crystal Palace lunch
Mama Melrose
Ohana breakfast (1st time)
Marrakesh (1st time)
Le Cellier
Sci Fi lunch

Tutto Italia lunch (couldn't get dinner here)
Rose & Crown
Donalds breakfast (1st time in new location)

:woohoo:

[Tammi67]

Tickets purchased Elin. It says to be there by 10:15, so I will see you at 10! It's going to be fun!

[Tammi67]

Your ADRs look yummy Anne Marie. Are you sure you can live without the BC????? ;)

[Tammi67]

I showed Alyssa the pictures of the trolley tour and got a big "AAAAWESOME!"

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I am here at Mom's. My flight was delayed a bit by weather, then we had to divert a little to get around the storms so I didn't land until 8:30 AM. Still mde it to Mom's by 10:30 AM, so not bad.

She is doing well! Her lymph nodes were 6 positive out of 22. Not sure what to make of that exactly. I think it puts her at stage III instead of II. :worried: At any rate, she is doing fine. Diva is not as bad as she could be. ;)

Anne Marie - For over $1000 I would switch resorts. I am sure you all will have a great time! We will just be around the morning of 8/17. Our flight leaves at 2:30, so ME pick-up will be 11:30 AM. What time will you guys get there? We're having breakfast at Boma if you'd like to join us! :)

Tammi - Thanks for the link about SSR buses! :thumbsup2

Karen - Good thoughts for your dad!

We actually got a wireless network set up for Mom, BUT I didn't bring my laptop. I am on her ancient desktop that is bogged down with more crap than you can imagine. NO WONDER it runs so SLOW! :headache:

I got an e-mail from Chase today that they are now giving $500 dream reward dollars if your purchase 160 DVC points and pay the down payment with the Disney Visa. GRRRR! :furious: If I had known that I would have WAITED! I have a call in to our guide to see if there is any way we can get the bonus but I am not the least bit hopeful.

So that's what's going on here! I have a feeling it is going to be a pretty boring weekend. It rained all day so we just stayed in today. After 4 more days of staying in I will be more than ready to come home. I did some dishes and 2 loads of towels today, but there really isn't much that needs to be done.

[mommykds]

Your ADRs look yummy Anne Marie. Are you sure you can live without the BC????? ;)

Yep, I am totally cool with it. Maybe next year!

I am sure your mom is glad to have you there....:hug:

Good luck on the Chase offer..can't hurt to ask.

We will be stopping overnight in Savannah on 8/16 & then heading to Disney the next morning..I am not sure we'd make it before noon.:worried:

[Tammi67]

Elizabeth - I'm glad you got there safely and that it seems to be going better than you anticipated, so far!

[tinknme]

Oh thanks Chanon!

Samantha Browns Disney Favorites are on the Travel Channel tonight at 9pm EST; her new show gives a cruise preview tonight for Carnival at 10pm EST; and then there is something called Disney Splurge! on at 11pm EST that I know I haven't seen before so hopefully that one is new...

ADR's might be a little hard to get this close to your trip, but it can't hurt to try! I ate their in Oct. last year for the 1st time & thought it was ok. I'm in no hurry to return.

I agree with Janet. I've eaten there a few times and it's been good, but not a must do for every trip. If you've never been, it would be good for a new experience.

[my3princes]

I called Disney Dining and they did have availability for lunch. She gave me a bunch of times and then said that it would be separate tables :confused3 We would have a table of 2 and a table of 3. That doesn't work real well with the kids :rotfl2: I guess we'll save it for a different trip.

[lovesdumbo]

thanks. do they both have it? or just one?I have purchased them at Micheals and saw them last night at JoAnns.

Chuck and I enjoy the food court at POR so much that we took the boat from OKW to DTD. Then the boat from DTD to POR just for dinner. We needed a relaxing evening away from my sister and decided that riding the boat was just the ticket. Mom and the girls came with us. Chuck ordered a beef dinner and I ordered a turkey dinner. They were both really good. Katrina and Mom got two different kinds of pasta with sauce. We all shared and have some of everything. Yummy! And then we repeated the boat rides back to OKW. It was a wonderful evening. We also got some brownies and magic (7-layer) bars for when we got back to the resort. Piano Bob was at POR that night so we stayed to watch him for a while as well.
Sounds like a nice night.

Janet & Anne Marie-I forgot to mention that we really enjoyed Boatwrights too for TS.

I texted Dana about the changes..he writes back

Chuck loves LeCellier. I didn't make reservations for this trip because I wasn't sure what was happening with all the family. We tried a couple of times to get in for 3 or 4 different nights and there was nothing available. We also tried to walk up one night. No go.

[tinknme]

I'm saving those for the Dec. trip ::yes::

I remember having breakfast at Boatwright's in 2005 & it was very good. I had the banana stuffed french toast & thought it was a good rival for Kona's tonga toast.

Deb - from eveything I've read......the CM's at disney dining always tell people their party will be split because they only show tables for 4 or 8 or 2 or whatever. But when you get to the restaurant, 95% of the time they are together, because the CMs at the actual restaurant can group you together. I've actually done this myself and not had a problem.

[tinknme]

I agree, I can't imagine them separating you from your children. Of course if they want to do that & watch the boys for you, you & Chris could have a nice lunch together :rotfl:

As a matter of fact, I made the ressies for the DDA October trip at Le Cellier and bfast and Kona, and was told we would have 2 tables, but when we were seated we had one table both times.

[MrsHeg]

We've never done Le Cellier. I wonder if we should see if they have any ADRs available while we are there :confused3 Do you think it would be worth it for us?

I was going to say that ther was nothing available during our Novembeer stay when I called, but I see you already called.

Anne Marie - I'm glad to see that Katie was feeling well enough for rehearsal, I've spent many hours watching dance rehearsals and competitions, my oldest DD teaches a tumbling class at a dance studio now so she got to know the other side of Recitals this year, she was one of the ones who stood in the wings and did the "babies" dances with them. Katie is a beautiful girl.
We leave on the 16th in August also.

Elizabeth - glad you made it there safely.

Tammie and Elin - Your town looks beautiful, enjoy your day tomorrow.

Deb - Glad you finally got the shirt to work. I used the stretchable iron ons for our cruise shirts, they came out good and felt great, but when I washed them afterwards they really faded. Sounds like your really making some great progress, you'll be there before you know it. Wave as you pass my way!

Theresa - Glad to hear things are looking up!

[UP Disney]

I think I'm off for the night. I have to get up early so I think I'm going to go crawl in bed and watch some Disney TV or read a book. Good night friends.

[Blueeyes101817]

I just sent Jen our itinerary. Hopefully we will find time to meet up. It seems that we've known her forever :goodvibes

I know! I definitely awnt to meet up! We have to! Like i said, even if its for a picture or something, i must see you!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Mom is running a fever of 101.5 now.:worried: She claims it is because she hasn't had any pain meds since 7 AM, and that if she had been taking them as scheduled she wouldn't have a fever. She has those Tylenol 3 things with codeine, which would also reduce any fever. I am not very happy with that explanation. Her discharge papers say to call for fever over 100. I told her if she continues to be feverish we are going to call the surgeon's office or the hospital.

DH called earlier to tell me I got a ticket in the mail for running a red light a couple of weeks ago. $75 fine. :furious: I don't run red lights! It was when I was coming back from the salon. There is an intersection where there are 2 lights really close together. If the back one turns green before the front one you end up in the intersection, and apparently when the back one turned red my bumper was still in the intersection. It is a very congested area. (NW Hwy & the Tollway, for Marci & Lindsay.) So I didn't "run" the light in the sense of driving through it after it changed. I would have been at a dead STOP when it turned red. Red light cameras suck.

So there you have it!

[triplefigs]

Has anyone besides Jen cruised Royal Caribbean? Is there somewhere cheaper to book? John and I are looking at a 6 night Western for my 40th birthday in March. It's on the new (1 year old) Independence of the Seas. Chanon, do you get any extra perks for booking through AAA? If so, I'll send you the details.

[triplefigs]

Elizabeth, you need to call the doctor if her fever is 101.5. Does she have any redness near the incision site or drainage? Keep me posted!

Karen, your dad is in my prayers for his surgery!

Anne Marie and everyone planning trips, you are making me very jealous. You'll have so much fun.

Deb, we had split reservations in April/May, and they sat us together with no questions. I don't think they wanted 3 kids at a table by themselves.

We had to cancel December, but hopefully we'll go in April again before my AP expires. But I am really looking forward to our 1st cruise!

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

[Blueeyes101817]

Good morning and Happy Friday!

[Pooh67_68]

My mom loved them. Made us go back a few mornings so she could get them. ::yes::


I'm thinking the sweet potato pancakes for breakfast sound good!

[Pooh67_68]

Elizabeth, call the doctor. My mom had very strict orders if she had any degree of fever. She also wound up back in the hospital twice for fever, the second time because they released her too soon the first time.

[tink2020]

Hi all! Have we heard from Glynis? Someone please PM me!


As for us, we got home yesterday around 11:30am, and only that late because we took our time. We didn't turn the computers on once, because having these girls here (especially after sitting around staring at empty baby stuff for 10+ weeks) is way more fun. No offense! ;)

I'm REALLY hoping to get pictures started today, because I think it will be a several day project. I think a lot of things will have to wait until Kyle goes back to work though. Spending a fake paternity leave (4 measly days) in the hospital just isn't fair, so we're really feeling the crunch on our time before we don't have as much of it! :(

Peds appointment today, but I'll try to update more eventually. Everyone is doing well, the dog is fascinated with the girls and not at all phased by them, they continue to do well. I slept so well last night a) not pregnant and b) not in the worst hospital bed ever. I'm feeling pretty good, although nobody warned me about the post c-section swelling that is exponentially worse with multiples. I was so skinny after delivering, and I have gained about 8 pounds of fluid.... all in my legs. Yes, the entire length of my legs. It's so bizarre, and I also am shocked at how bad edema can hurt! :confused: It's making the surgery stuff (incision, uterine incision which I swear I can feel better than the skin incision!) worse, since I'm stretching out some, but we're getting through just fine. I continue to be up as much as possible, without making the swelling unbearable. In general, I can't remember whe n I felt so good!

I'll talk to you more soon, especially once it's just us girls here and they mostly just sleep! You know, when I'm not just watching them! :rotfl: :cloud9:

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Good morning DDA!

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

We had a great time at Cedar Point. Leighanna loved it. I took some pictures and will try to upload them later today! Right now I need some sleep. I am feeling my age. I just can't bounce back as quickly as I used to!

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Jennifer, glad to hear that you are home with the girls! Enjoy your sweet little princesses!
I remember just looking at Leighanna when she slept. Those were some of my most happy and memorable moments of being a new Dad! Can't wait to see new pictures!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Mom says her fever has resolved. We'll see how she feels later this morning. Better to address it TODAY than going into the weekend when we won't be able to get ahold of anyone.

Denise - She still has a drain in the wound so there is fluid draining continuously. She said the incisions aren't red or hot or anything. She keeps arguing that she wouldn't have had a fever if she had been taking her meds on a regular schedule. Well, the meds would have masked the fever. I may call the surgeon's office when they open just to get their take on it. I also want some directions on what to do if the fever spikes over the weekend.

[KMH1]

Good morning! :wave2:

Sorry Deb, yesterday was not a good day to have a baby, at least not for me! :teeth:

Instead, we had swim lessons, followed by a 3 hour playdate at Chuck E. Cheese. No cicadas IN there! :thumbsup2

More swim lessons today, followed by the park and more swim time.

I have a bunch of errands to run this weekend, my niece's birthday party tomorrow night, and VBS kicks off on Sunday evening. Perhaps, I'll finally get my hospital bag packed, too. :rolleyes1

Lots of :wizard: for you all, along with continued prayers for everyone in "limbo" right now (Elizabeth, Theresa, Jen, Denise, Karen...)

Looking forward to seeing some pictures from Jen, Tom, Elin, and Tammi...

Which reminds me, loved the pictures you posted, Terry and the picture of Katie is beautiful, Anne-Marie!

Happy Friday DDA! :goodvibes

[mommykds]

I
Anne Marie - I'm glad to see that Katie was feeling well enough for rehearsal, I've spent many hours watching dance rehearsals and competitions, my oldest DD teaches a tumbling class at a dance studio now so she got to know the other side of Recitals this year, she was one of the ones who stood in the wings and did the "babies" dances with them. Katie is a beautiful girl.
We leave on the 16th in August also.

Thank you Debbie.:goodvibes
Oh no another DDA'er that we miss.:( Dana can't get the 16th off to drive down earlier.:headache:

Elizabeth,
Hope your moms fever is down but I would have her checked out like you said..don't want to wait for the weekend.

Jennifer,
Hope the swelling goes down...enjoy the girls!

[mommykds]

Sophie had her dance rehearsal last night. This is her 4th year at dance.
This weekend will be all recitals. The girls perform in multiple shows so it will be busy but they love it. I have to order their bouquets today.

Both Katie and Sophie are so beautiful, Anne-Marie!

I hope they both have great recitals this weekend! :wizard:

[my3princes]

One week from now we should be in Conneticut by now :cool1: I'm getting really excited :cool1:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Anne Marie - I think Dana will be sick on August 16. As one of the DDA resident psychics I am quite certain he won't be able to make it to the office that day. In case you were wondering. :rolleyes1
Sophie is beautiful!

Denise - I hope your tests go well!! :wizard:

[Tammi67]

Excellent form Sophie! Love the costume!

Jennifer - I'm so happy everyone is continuing to do well. Sorry to hear about your swelling. Hope it recedes soon.

Elizabeth - :wizard: that your mom's fever stays down. Don't mess around with it should it spike again.

[tinknme]

Elizabeth I hope your mothers fever went down :hug:

Bummer about the ticket!

Mom is running a fever of 101.5 now.:worried: She claims it is because she hasn't had any pain meds since 7 AM, and that if she had been taking them as scheduled she wouldn't have a fever. She has those Tylenol 3 things with codeine, which would also reduce any fever. I am not very happy with that explanation. Her discharge papers say to call for fever over 100. I told her if she continues to be feverish we are going to call the surgeon's office or the hospital.

[tinknme]

Sounds like fun, hope you get it figured out!

Thanks to Jen's latest cruise, Gary is talking about taking a Alaskan cruise now. Thanks Jen :thumbsup2

Has anyone besides Jen cruised Royal Caribbean? Is there somewhere cheaper to book? John and I are looking at a 6 night Western for my 40th birthday in March. It's on the new (1 year old) Independence of the Seas. Chanon, do you get any extra perks for booking through AAA? If so, I'll send you the details.

[Tammi67]

Good morning. :)

I'm sure I'll have some picture of our day to post later. Have a great one!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!:yay:

[my3princes]

Deb - from eveything I've read......the CM's at disney dining always tell people their party will be split because they only show tables for 4 or 8 or 2 or whatever. But when you get to the restaurant, 95% of the time they are together, because the CMs at the actual restaurant can group you together. I've actually done this myself and not had a problem.

Good to know. I'll keep that in mind for the future.

Hope Glynis is ok, I was thinking about her last night.

Glynis!!! Pop someone a note as we are all worried!

[tinknme]

Glad you had a good time, look forward to seeing your pictures!

[my3princes]

Elizabeth sorry about the ticket. We don't have any of those cameras in our neck of the woods so I have no idea how to deal with it :confused3 Keep your eye on your Mom you need her to be much better by the time you have to fly home. Worry now and save yourself from worrying from Texas.

Elin and Tammi have a great day. Hopefully the weather will cooperate :thumbsup2


Chris and I headed to bed at 9 last night and turned on the Samantha Brown show. Chris was sleeping within seconds :rotfl2: Colby ended up climbing into bed and snuggling with me while discussing the show and our trip. We watched a bit of the cruise show together too. He thinks he'd like to do a cruise :thumbsup2 Then he headed off to bed. I haven't had snuggle time like that in a while :love:

I'm off to achieve something. I'm not sure what yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Elizabeth- I hope your mom's fever is down, but I'd definitely put that call in. Better safe than sorry. :wizard: Sorry about the red light ticket. My dad is infamous for those tickets. He believes that since no one is one the road when he runs the red light he shouldn't be ticketed. He is up just about every night at 1am and is usually on the road to work by 2 or 3am.

Denise- :wizard: for your tests today. Enjoy BK's birthday party!

Karen- More :wizard: :wizard: for you and your dad for his surgery.

Jennifer- So glad you are home and everyone is doing well. You are so right, there is nothing better in this world than watching those babies sleep. :goodvibes I hope the swelling subsides soon.:wizard:

Amy- Enjoy all your swimming today. Girl, you better get that bag packed!

Anne Marie- You can tell the girls love dancing! They are both beautiful! :goodvibes

Tammi, Elin, Nicholas and Alyssa- Enjoy today!

Tom- Can't wait to see some pics of your adventures at Cedar Point!

Deb- Hope the last minute trip preparations go smoothly!!

[tinknme]

Both Katie and Sophie are so beautiful, Anne-Marie!

I hope they both have great recitals this weekend! :wizard:

Ditto! Your girls are very talented as well :thumbsup2

Good morning :)

Amy I agree with Robyn, get that bag packed ;) Have fun swimming!

I really should take my own advice and pack for our weekend trip. We hope to leave by 5pm today but I have not anything packed nor have I really thought about it! But I'm not having a baby ;)

[my3princes]

It just dawned on me that I should create a list for our cat sitter. I could also make a couple of autograph pages since I know that Darby is out and about as is Prince Caspian. Cat list first:scratchin:

[tinknme]

I must have missed this, hope you have fun!

Oh, I can find stuff I just lack motivation :confused3

The cat info is typed up and I've done an autograph page for Darby. I can't find a good Prince Caspian clipart so I'll wait on that one until after the trip.

[yellowfish78]

I wore my crocs to work today. Everyone is rolling their eyes at me. Go figure! :rotfl:

[tinknme]

Beings we are arriving so late on the 5th, I had Chanon book us at ASMo for the night. This saves me about $65 :yay: Now we will check into POR on the 6th, my boys are going to be really confused now :rotfl:

I will pack enough stuff in our carry ons for the night & next morning. I will ask the front desk to have bell service hold our luggage & then when we check out I will just have them transfer it over to POR :thumbsup2

Now if I decide on adding the DDP I only need it for 10 days, so that saves me another $114! I need to see how late ASMo food court is open, I know we will be hungry when we arrive ::yes::

I can't believe tomorrow is our 45 day mark & I am still adding/changing things :faint:

[tinknme]

I need to get off my duff & start laundry, but here I sit :rotfl:

I hear ya on the changes..now that i added the DDP I am scambling to make enough adr's..I made more changes this morning.:headache:

[babytrees]

they're just jealous::yes::

[yellowfish78]

They still pinch in two spots. I just have really wide feet, and even these seem small in the arch area... Don't get me wrong, they are still comfortable, that's for sure, except for those two spots. I don't get it. I still have my back up pair. :rotfl:

[tinknme]

I thought about it, but I think we will be ok. They can eat a lot, but with the heat maybe not as much. Plus I plan on having plenty of snacks for the room!

Put them in the dryer and get them hot. Then put them on your feet or pull on the areas that are tight. That should loosen them up. The other option is to get your feet good and stuck in the mud and try to pull your feet up. That does a good job of stretching them as well :thumbsup2

[tinknme]

If you try this, I want pictures :lmao:

[my3princes]

I've made sure that the boys rooms are all tidied up. I didn't make them vacuum or dust, but at least everything is put away and all the stuff that came home from school has found a home...much of it in the fire pit. I've also done 2 loads of laundry so that is caught up. Since we had to do a thourough cleaning last week we are in really good shape for next week. It seems strange not to be stressing with a week to go.:confused3

[my3princes]

If you try this, I want pictures :lmao:

I wore my Croc Cleos into the brook when I chaperoned Nick's field trip and I totally got stuck in the mud. It really stretched the straps out. I washed them and threw them in the dryer and they tightened back up :thumbsup2 I'm sure I was a sight to behold stuck in the brook wearing capris no less :confused3 I would love to see Chanon give it a try in the heels though. If she could video tape it she might win some money on Funniest Home Videos. That would be a nice wedding present::yes::

[yellowfish78]

You guys are crazy. :rotfl: I thought about tossing them in the dryer but they have a metal attachment on them - I might just use a hair dryer to spot stretch it.

[triplefigs]

Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes today. I'm off to Publix to pick up three cakes and then head to the doctor. BK's party is at 5pm. I'll be back later tonight!

[UP Disney]

Denise, I've been meaning to tell you that I love your picture of the kids with Lady Tremaine. That is such an awesome sight!

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I took Mom to have some labs drawn. They want to make sure her white cell count isn't too high. She wasn't happy about that.

I want to go to the grocery store and buy some food, but she isn't feeling very well so I brought her home. I am going to have to draft Diva to come with me because I will never find my way back if I try to go out alone! I am STARVING, so Diva better hurry up with her shower!

Speaking of changes, we switched over to the Poly. :rolleyes1 It seems to me that DH has said before that he wants to try it sometime. So we'll try it! I have to move the fishing excursion to the Poly dock instead of WL, and I need to change an ADR for the day we move from SSR to Poly. But DH doesn't want me to do that today because I didn't bring the charger for my phone and the battery has to last through Monday night.

Chanon - Good luck with the shoes!

[tinknme]

Hope all is well with your mom & I am glad you took her in!

You are going to love the Poly! I keep eyeballing it for our last few nights, but I keep telling myself that I can't really afford it(& I can't). Hopefully it will show up unavailable & then I will quit thinking about it. Right now I can get it for the 12th - 16th. I need to quit checking the AP site, but that's not going to happen :rotfl:

What dates did you book?

Call the 800 number.

[babytrees]

so we have no power in a third of my building....so I called our electrical contractor to make sure it wasn't their doing( they are helping put A/C in the Sanctuary) AFTER I checked the breakers and asked the other company here today if they had accidently done something.

Nope, none of the above...we aren't getting power from the street. But when I called the power company I got asked by 2 different men if I had checked the breakers:headache: . I told them that our electrical contractor said we aren't getting power from the street. :mad:

Why oh why does this happen when I am in the office by myself??

[babytrees]

Elizabeth-I am glad you took your mom in...hope she is on the road to recovery.

So Tammi how was the trolley and lunch??

[mommykds]

Daniel & I had a nice day out. Took him to run some errands & to McDonald's for lunch. He is starting to eat like a man all of a sudden..he needs 2 meals now!::yes::

He is such a joy. It's hard to appreciate your kids when they are all together driving each other nuts but having this week with just he & I has been great. We have Monday to ourselves & the the girls have 1/2 days Tues, Wed, & Thurs..then I have all 3 home for the summer .:faint:

Hope someone gets it figured out soon!

Janet,
Just curious...
Did you ask for Alligator Bayou or the Mansions when you go in August?

We will be staying at the AB section as thats the only rooms that fot 5. I was thinking of having the boys do the catch & release fishing trip..Dana is not a fisherman but Daniel has wanted to go for some time & this time would be good.

Our arrival plans are to check in on the 17th, take the boat to DTD, shop til we drop (resort change means more goodies to bring home!:woohoo: ) maybe eat at Wolfgang Puck's (haven't been there since 1998) & then take the bus to the BC & go to Epcot with dinner at Biergarten that night. I am still trying to tell Dana he will be sick on the 16th!:lmao:

[tinker1bell]

so we have no power in a third of my building....so I called our electrical contractor to make sure it wasn't their doing( they are helping put A/C in the Sanctuary) AFTER I checked the breakers and asked the other company here today if they had accidently done something.

Nope, none of the above...we aren't getting power from the street. But when I called the power company I got asked by 2 different men if I had checked the breakers:headache: . I told them that our electrical contractor said we aren't getting power from the street. :mad:

Why oh why does this happen when I am in the office by myself??

Does everything want to shut down early for the weekend???? :confused3 :rotfl2: :confused3
Here we cannot get in touch with the playgrounds or counselors cause AT&T is down. Plus our computers are trying to revolt!!!:badpc: :badpc:

I am so ready to go home.

[tinknme]

I requested the Mansions, I hope I get it!

Your arrival plans sound good :thumbsup2 For our arrival, we will eat & then probably go to bed :rotfl:

I was thinking of the fishing for the boys too, I think they would enjoy!

Janet,
Just curious...

DH called earlier to tell me I got a ticket in the mail for running a red light a couple of weeks ago. $75 fine. :furious: I don't run red lights! It was when I was coming back from the salon. There is an intersection where there are 2 lights really close together. If the back one turns green before the front one you end up in the intersection, and apparently when the back one turned red my bumper was still in the intersection. It is a very congested area. (NW Hwy & the Tollway, for Marci & Lindsay.) So I didn't "run" the light in the sense of driving through it after it changed. I would have been at a dead STOP when it turned red. Red light cameras suck.First did he really have to tell you about it? Second, can you fight it?

I'll talk to you more soon, especially once it's just us girls here and they mostly just sleep! You know, when I'm not just watching them! :rotfl: :cloud9::wizard: Hope your swelling goes down soon! It must be wonderful to be home! Can't wait to see more photos of your cuties!

We had a great time at Cedar Point. Leighanna loved it. I took some pictures and will try to upload them later today! Right now I need some sleep. I am feeling my age. I just can't bounce back as quickly as I used to!
Glad you had a fun time! Looking forward to seeing photos!

Sophie had her dance rehearsal last night. This is her 4th year at dance.
This weekend will be all recitals. The girls perform in multiple shows so it will be busy but they love it. I have to order their bouquets today.

Another beauty!!!

One week from now we should be in Conneticut by now :cool1: I'm getting really excited :cool1::banana: :banana: :banana:

Beings we are arriving so late on the 5th, I had Chanon book us at ASMo for the night. This saves me about $65 :yay: Now we will check into POR on the 6th, my boys are going to be really confused now :rotfl:

I will pack enough stuff in our carry ons for the night & next morning. I will ask the front desk to have bell service hold our luggage & then when we check out I will just have them transfer it over to POR :thumbsup2

Now if I decide on adding the DDP I only need it for 10 days, so that saves me another $114! I need to see how late ASMo food court is open, I know we will be hungry when we arrive ::yes::

I can't believe tomorrow is our 45 day mark & I am still adding/changing things :faint:
The menu on allears says midnight but dinner only til 10pm-icecream is open til midnight and I'm sure they have stuff in a grab & go setting too.

Thanks, everyone, for the well wishes today. I'm off to Publix to pick up three cakes and then head to the doctor. BK's party is at 5pm. I'll be back later tonight!:wizard:

I took Mom to have some labs drawn. They want to make sure her white cell count isn't too high. She wasn't happy about that.

I want to go to the grocery store and buy some food, but she isn't feeling very well so I brought her home. I am going to have to draft Diva to come with me because I will never find my way back if I try to go out alone! I am STARVING, so Diva better hurry up with her shower!

Speaking of changes, we switched over to the Poly. :rolleyes1 It seems to me that DH has said before that he wants to try it sometime. So we'll try it! I have to move the fishing excursion to the Poly dock instead of WL, and I need to change an ADR for the day we move from SSR to Poly. But DH doesn't want me to do that today because I didn't bring the charger for my phone and the battery has to last through Monday night.
I'm glad to hear you're getting your Mom seen!

Good luck with the groceries!

What are your Poly dates? It is my fav resort! Love the atmosphere there at night with the tiki torches and the polynesian music and the beach and watching the castle change colors.

Daniel & I had a nice day out. Took him to run some errands & to McDonald's for lunch. He is starting to eat like a man all of a sudden..he needs 2 meals now!::yes::

He is such a joy. It's hard to appreciate your kids when they are all together driving each other nuts but having this week with just he & I has been great. We have Monday to ourselves & the the girls have 1/2 days Tues, Wed, & Thurs..then I have all 3 home for the summer .:faint:WOW your girls go late. Joe & Lizzy were done Wednesday. Emma's last day of nature camp was yesterday. Yesterday Lizzy was sick-fever & headache. I think they may have been why she hated everything I bought Wednesday night.

Isn't one on one time special! That is why I love my "solo" trips with the kids. I know they wouldn't work for everyone but they seem to work for us. I'm thinking about taking Lizzy the first week of February next year-the kids have 2 half days that week. Then I could take Joe on my birthday trip and then Emma for her 7th birthday in Jan 2010. It is wierd not to have another trip already booked.:laughing:

[Tammi67]

We had a lot of fun. The tour was interesting, and we were the only 'locals' on board. I will upload and post some pictures later.

Anne Marie - I'm glad you are having a fun week with Daniel. We eat at Beirgarten on our arrival day as well, although it is not the 17th.

[Tammi67]

So not only did I have a tick on me after doing my yard work, I've also learned that I've got poison ivy. Beings as though I've never had it, I had Elin confirm it. I was itchy afterwards but just thought it was because I had been out in the dirt and weeds. Little did I know what I was trimming down was poison ivy. It is getting progressively worse and I've broken out the cortizone cream.

I'm home, I survived, I wouldn't want to do it again, and my bladder is extremely irritated/uncomfortable/burning. They gave me an antibiotic and medicine to relax the bladder and relieve the irritation. Said to take 800mg of Advil and have a drink! So, I'm having a glass of wine, standing up (sitting really hurts), DISing and looking at cruises! I definitely need the surgery, so it's a go for July 8.

I've got to go make sure everything is packed for the b'day party, and I'll be back later.

I am glad the tests are over!!

[my3princes]

We had a couple of heavy downpours here this afternoon. Thankfully I wasn't out in them. I did get a few more things tucked away in the camper. Three of the kids had a nap since they couldn't behave. You'd think that they would learn, but noooooo. I'm glad that it is Friday as I only have to deal with my kids on the weekend. I do have to work tonight, but my head is already in vacation mode so this ought to be fun.

I did that last week. Tried getting poison ivy out of my flower bed in the front - never had it before either - but it's just on my arm about the size of a quarter. Hopefully you feel better soon!!!

[Pooh67_68]

Do you need to wear shoes? how about a pair of ballet slippers instead? http://www.advantagebridal.com/emhecubaslin.html


They still pinch in two spots. I just have really wide feet, and even these seem small in the arch area... Don't get me wrong, they are still comfortable, that's for sure, except for those two spots. I don't get it. I still have my back up pair. :rotfl:

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Hope all is well with your mom & I am glad you took her in!

You are going to love the Poly! I keep eyeballing it for our last few nights, but I keep telling myself that I can't really afford it(& I can't). Hopefully it will show up unavailable & then I will quit thinking about it. Right now I can get it for the 12th - 16th. I need to quit checking the AP site, but that's not going to happen :rotfl:

What dates did you book?

Well, I actually ended up taking Mom BACK to the lab because her urine specimen was too small for them to test. While we were there she stopped in the surgeon's office and had the nurse look at her incision. Hopefully we'll hear back on the labs today. She just feels kind of icky overall, and that's making her grouchy, too.

We're at the Poly Aug. 11-14, then moving to AKV.

Call the 800 number.

There isn't one.

Glad you enjoyed your day with Daniel!

I agree, when Garrett & Riley are together they can drive me crazy lol Seperatly they are angels :goodvibes

Good luck with the party!

DVC members may now call 11 or 7 months from the date of check IN and book for the check in date plus up to 7 more nights! Policy changed this morning.

ALSO, the confirmation I got for my Poly ressie says I must cancel 45 days out to receive my full deposit back on my discounted room. I think it might just be for rooms booked online, though. At any rate, there is a policy about cancelling a discounted room, so beware.
