Everything is going great with the job! I am actually about to branch out into unknown territory....I'm getting ready to open my own little hot dog joint restaurant! It will be my side project.
I saw that on your PTR, I am so so so happy for you! I think it is a fantastic idea, and I wish you the best of luck and success with it!

[Cinderelly5507]

Woot! gotta love having a new subscriber! so you didnt answer my other questions! wait, did I ask you.. i'm so confused. What are all the W's of your trip?? Who what where when why... LOL DS Jack was 2 when we took him to MNSSHP and he LOVED LOVED LOVED it! So don't give up hope yet! I love that your DH is looking at menus.. it is only a matter of time now! and yes..start the PTR asap!


We're going Sept. 23-30, staying at Pop. It's me, my DH, and our 2 year old DD! I'm definitley leaning towards going to MNSSHP! Afterall, I don't know if I'll ever make it back at that time of year again. I started a PTR, but it's pretty slow...:rotfl:

[Cinderelly5507]

We were in Broadway too last year! The furtherst one back-- I just found my picture and it was room 7428! haha I took a picture of the star with our room number on it! I'm a dork! :rotfl:

[Myhappythought5]

I too have taken pics of the door number. That makes another dork :rotfl2:

Have a great birthday celebration this weekend.

Yay!! :rotfl2: My DH was like "what are you taking a picture of the room number for?" I just told him I got the idea on the DIS and he just shook his head and laughed! :rotfl:

[Vacation Lover]

Once in DTD we will be eating at the AWESOME Earl of Sandwich! Then getting dessert at T-Rex. I think Jack will LOVE the atmosphere, but I don't think we would love the food since we really do not like Rainforest Cafe. Dessert is a safe bet and we get to see how cool it is in there! Not to mention it will be a heck of a lot cheaper than eating a full meal there!! That place is priceyyyyy!!!


OMG You're BRILLIANT! Why didn't I think of that? A great way to enjoy TRex without paying the prices. I just might have to steal that idea for our first night.

[inkedupmomma]

Wooo hooooo exciting trip news!! I just bought our MNSSHP tickets(which were not supposed to be on sale until tomorrow May 1,09)! wooo hoooo!! So stoked! Not only that, I was the first to report prices on the DIS and allears!! I am soooo freaking excited!!!!!!:cool1: I seriously can not wait until September!

:yay::banana::woohoo::dance3::cool1::cheer2:
That's awesome! I saw your post on the main board! I'm still undecided--DH saw the price per person and said he didn't think it would be worth it for us this year. He thinks DD would freak! :scared1:

[inkedupmomma]

Steal away!! For me, we hated rainforest cafe food, so I don't want to risk paying those prices for nasty food again! But DS will die when he sees the interior, so we had to do something there! I can not wait!

Yay!! :rotfl2: My DH was like "what are you taking a picture of the room number for?" I just told him I got the idea on the DIS and he just shook his head and laughed! :rotfl:
John just doesn't even ask anymore... he just says, for the dis right??:rotfl2: he was cute the other night, he was telling someone how is his wife takes pics for her disney board and does a wonderful review :lovestruc he is proud of my skills :lmao:
I too have taken pics of the door number. That makes another dork :rotfl2:

:lmao:DORKS UNITE!! The bday celebration was AWESOMEEEEEEE! I have to put the link to sophias mini Tr from it on my page!

I was actually really thinking hard about adding a day just so that we could go that day but we have to get back since we have to travel back to Ohio and DH is already taking 6 days off. :sad1:

I'll see what I can for CM breaky on the 13th - what time were you thinking?

Nope, not doing MNSSHP this time - too much other stuff on our list to do :rotfl:

[alan_renfroe]

That's so cool! You all are going to have a blast meeting up at Chef Mickey's! Wish I could be there during that time of the year. Have fun! :cool1:

Yep, we've homeschooled from day one :goodvibes OK, I finally bit the bullet and started a PTR (what a scary proposition! :scared1:) - I posted it at Enchanted and here (I put a link in my signature line, but I can't figure out how to make the link words instead of a link LOL)

Ok, I am going to check your stuff out and sub! Also, home schooling is awesome!
I'd love to meet up while we're there! :thumbsup2

:thumbsup2So let's make that happen! Seriously!

[inkedupmomma]

Especially when it brings me tickets to Mickey's not so scary Halloween party!! Of course, I forgot to take a picture of the tix..sorry :( I will say this, I liked the ones from last year better! This years, say Celebrate! and have different characters. Ours have Goofy,Pluto, and Donald Duck! In other Disney news I went to Target yesterday and was able to get the $1.00 socks that Beka had poste on her PTR! I only bought one pair for Kayla, and they were Tinkerbelle. I didn't see any in Jack's size. I also found Jumbo Disney Pens! I bought two packs. They had Ariel or Nemo only.. I went with the Nemo ones. So that's two more things to add to the kids "we're going to Disney! Yay!" baskets! I have been picking up as many hours as possible here and there and putting that "extra"( :rotfl: )money into my Disney piggy. I have not added how much I have yet..but we need at least $1500:scared1: Between gas, food going down, and coming back, souvenir/spending money, and putting away money for the days of work both john and I will be missing, we are kinda screwed!

Ok, onto non-Disney related news! Kayla had her First Holy Communion last week. Yes, I know, you are all shocked..Inkedupmomma, Catholic?? Why yes I am. Not that I am a good Catholic, and go to church:rolleyes1 But it was very important to my grammy that she make her sacraments. It was very sweet, and she looked gorgeous! A good time was had by all! I will now post pics! I also finally had Kayla take pics of my tattoos for those who have asked.. afterall, what is an inkedupmomma without pics of her ink!

Hi everybody! I hope all the momma's had a wonderful mother's day!! Mine was great! I got my new ink, and had an awesome Vietnamese dinner:banana: I thought you might like to see pics of the newest additions!!

Basically I got a Marine Bulldog, a rose next to that, and then the rose up top by the mermaid, and then filler (the black dots, and stars). So now my left arm is ALMOST all done! One more session for that arm and it will be complete! Then it is on to finishing my chest, and left arm! Then maybe the tops of my feet..then I'm done done...:rolleyes1

The ink was fairly tolerable until the last 30 mins (I was there 4 hours:scared1:) It was well worth it, I am smitten!!

Please share your momma's day stories/gifts!

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

Wow look at all those tats!! That's so funny cuz we were just at a party and dh nephew got a huge cross that covers his entire back. It looks really nice and professionally done. Then he was showing us pictures of this girl he knows from FL who got stars all the way front the front and down her side. It was the coolest thing. I wish I had a picture of it because I've never seen anything like it. The picture would be PG-13 though ;)

[Trentmom]

Great Gift. Those colors are so vibrant. He did a great job:thumbsup2

My husband and son make a DVD of all pictures of my son from birth thru present and put background music on it:love:

They close a beautiful song...it is a mix of What a Wonderful World and Somewhere over the Rainbow.

It is performed by a Hawaiian man who tragically passed away last year. It is such an amazing song

His name is Israel Kamakawiwo.

If you get a minute, go to youtube and look him up either by his name or those two song titles together.

Grab your tissues..it is a tear jerker:lovestruc

My "kids" got me seasons 3 and 4 for Mother's Day. Thank you kitties...... Now I have to get the rest of them....and I am clueless as to how many there are on DVD. :laughing:

I can't believe our tickers. Remember when they were 11 months???????/

Hey, just came over from lisalonglash's trip report and trying to get caught up. We are going in August and I just recently started my first pre trip report. CSR is wonderful, I bet you will love it.

Your kiddos are adorable. Love the new tattoo. I dont have one yet but have been watching the tattoo thread on the boards and am trying to come up with something Disney themed.

[disneydreamin247]

I LOVE the new ink! I just got some done myself on Monday. I'm trying to tone up my arms a little before I start working on the upper parts of my sleeves. Yours is just awesome though!

Haha I just got some nautical stars. Pink and black on the front of my left shoulder and plain black and white on my right wrist. I need to get one on my right shoulder now to balance it out. Then I want Jack on my left foot and Sally on my right foot. Then I want a heart with a balloon string attached to an anchor on my left outer shoulder....and so many more! lol

[maroo]

I am totally subbing to this! :) I have not read it all yet...but I will catch up soon! :)

I love me some stars! If you couldn't tell! Nautical stars were my first ever tattoo's! Jack and sally will also be on me at some point.. just not sure where yet.. I'm running out of room (I won't tattoo my legs! and my right ram already has a plan. That leaves my feet, but I don't wanna steal your flow lol)

I am totally subbing to this! :) I have not read it all yet...but I will catch up soon! :)

:welcome: Thanks for joining in! I hear from Synddy, that we will be possibly meeting up!!?? Can't wait!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I can not wait for the finale!!! Ashley told me spoilers but I don't see how those would play out. Supposedly CMM didn't get his contract renewed. I sure hope that has changed. In real life he's a PITA but I like his character on the show. Plus "Peyton" is married to someone on the film crew. That would suck if she wasn't able to do the show anymore. I guess her hubby could always up and relocate with her. :confused3 He's from NC. That was one of the BEST episodes all year.

PM me your #'s! Do you have free texting? LMK.

lol I don't mind sister! I'm getting them each in a heart. I can't decide what to get next. I keep thinking I have it figured out and then I change my mind. Gosh darn ink....why does it have to be so awesome?

[maroo]

It took me a minute to realize you guys were talking about OTH! :) Love that show! :)

I totally called the blood from the opening of the show.. white flowers fer sure meant red blood.. then i hear john say, there's your blood..happy, shes gonna cause of you now! bwhahahahha

OMGosh! I thought the EXACT same thing! In fact...I even said something and everyone was mad at me when it happened.... Like it was MY fault?!?!? :confused3 I totally saw it coming. They better not kill her off...

I know it! :) I am pretty excited! Now I just need to get caught up on all of the pre-trippies and get to know you guys! :goodvibes

My ADR call in date is June 6th...so it is coming up...so I should be able to reserve a spot for at least some of us! :) I think I can reserve up to 12 without getting into the "you are a group and must do X, Y or Z"...etc...

OK, here goes:

This is my mother's stylized interpretation of the first initials of my name, my dh's name and both of my boys' names (L, P, M, M) - the L is in the middle, the P is to the right, the first M is to the left and the second M is to the right. I so love that my mom designed this - so my tattoo involves me, dh, both boys and my mom :love:

Yes, there is a tattoo thread, here is the link:

CSR is awesome. We loved the main pool and DS loved to slide there. DH and I enjoyed the bar and hot tub. We stayed in Casitas and had a water view room which looked out on the lake. The grounds are beautiful and all the fountains are so pretty at night. We rented a boat and went out on the lake which DS and DH loved. I think you will enjoy it.

[Synndy]

So after sending you that PM... I thought to myself... why doesnt she ever update?

Apparently, I'm braindead & not subbed. :upsidedow

So I'm subbing (even though I swear I did it before, haha)

I love your tats! Your mermaid is amazing! DB & I are thinking of getting a tats before we head down to Disney. It will be my second & his first. I told him I'd take him for his first. Since him & I are super close (we are exactly 1 year & 7 days apart) we want to get something together. We finally decided......

Bum bum bum.....

CHIP & DALE

:woohoo:

I'm going to get one of Chip & hes going to get one of Dale. They have always been one of our favorites & Dad's too. Plus chip & Dale are a pair, they are best friends. So its perfect for us. I was thinking, I want something to remember this trip (as if I'd forget). I was also thinking of having Chip on or near an Easter egg (since the reveal happened on Easter) and have little pink ribbons on the design of the egg. I'm not totaly sure yet. I know I want to add a pink ribbon. And a hidden mickey of course ;)

I was catching up on the past few pages & wanted to make a comment about kids not caring where you stay.

I totally agree buttt..... we stayed at Poly both times we went (91 & 93 I think were the years :confused3 ) I remember the awesome rock slide & the pool but then again, I would have loved any pool.

The weridest thing I remember about Poly is the scent. Its so random but Poly has this distinct smell that I just adore. I used to talk about it after our trips. What the weirdest thing was when I went back in December I didnt have park tickets & was killing time waiting for my CM friend to get off work, I toured the hotels to check out their Christmas decorations (which was AMAZING & I'm SO glad I did that. I highly suggest doing that if you are down there). When I walked into the Poly the scent hit me & brought back all these memories. It was surreal.

They say some senses are stronger than others... since I'm almost legally blind & according to my Dad "cant hear anything" (which think is more of choosing to hear :lmao: ) & I'm too picky of an eater :snooty: I guess the sense of smell has to be my strong one.

Ok... now that I have offically declared how crazy I am, I'll be done. :banana:

Less than 4 months!!!!

Cant you believe it?!

What do you think???

I for one, think it's awesome! :thumbsup2

I can't wait for Tusker House either. :woohoo: My favorite breakfast!

Mom's excited for this trip too.

[Trentmom]

Your itinerary looks jam packed and full of fun

Sounds like it will be a great trip :thumbsup2

[Beka]

Well. That just blew my little pitiful spreadsheet out of the water.

[inkedupmomma]

Too jam packed?? now you have me worried!

I for one, think it's awesome! :thumbsup2

I can't wait for Tusker House either. :woohoo: My favorite breakfast!

Mom's excited for this trip too.

Bollocks it cute off everything you said.. I'll have to go back in.

So after sending you that PM... I thought to myself... why doesnt she ever update?

Apparently, I'm braindead & not subbed. :upsidedow

So I'm subbing (even though I swear I did it before, haha)
same thing happened to me with yours!!:rotfl:

I love your tats! Your mermaid is amazing! DB & I are thinking of getting a tats before we head down to Disney. It will be my second & his first. I told him I'd take him for his first. Since him & I are super close (we are exactly 1 year & 7 days apart) we want to get something together. We finally decided......

Bum bum bum.....

CHIP & DALE

:woohoo:
awe cute, and I love the reasoning behind it! I love a good reason behind a tattoo!

I'm going to get one of Chip & hes going to get one of Dale. They have always been one of our favorites & Dad's too. Plus chip & Dale are a pair, they are best friends. So its perfect for us. I was thinking, I want something to remember this trip (as if I'd forget). I was also thinking of having Chip on or near an Easter egg (since the reveal happened on Easter) and have little pink ribbons on the design of the egg. I'm not totaly sure yet. I know I want to add a pink ribbon. And a hidden mickey of course ;)
I love the idea of the pink ribbon and hidden mickey!

I was catching up on the past few pages & wanted to make a comment about kids not caring where you stay.

I totally agree buttt..... we stayed at Poly both times we went (91 & 93 I think were the years :confused3 ) I remember the awesome rock slide & the pool but then again, I would have loved any pool.

The weridest thing I remember about Poly is the scent. Its so random but Poly has this distinct smell that I just adore. I used to talk about it after our trips. What the weirdest thing was when I went back in December I didnt have park tickets & was killing time waiting for my CM friend to get off work, I toured the hotels to check out their Christmas decorations (which was AMAZING & I'm SO glad I did that. I highly suggest doing that if you are down there). When I walked into the Poly the scent hit me & brought back all these memories. It was surreal.

They say some senses are stronger than others... since I'm almost legally blind & according to my Dad "cant hear anything" (which think is more of choosing to hear :lmao: ) & I'm too picky of an eater :snooty: I guess the sense of smell has to be my strong one.
Oh, I should correct myself.. Kayla DOES care where we stay. She is STOKED to stay at CSR, even if it is just this one time! an you are dead on about the senses!
Ok... now that I have offically declared how crazy I am, I'll be done. :banana:

Less than 4 months!!!!
You aint crazy!

Cant you believe it?!
I'm stoked!

Yes, there is a tattoo thread, here is the link:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1187481
Der, thanks!
CSR is awesome. We loved the main pool and DS loved to slide there. DH and I enjoyed the bar and hot tub. We stayed in Casitas and had a water view room which looked out on the lake. The grounds are beautiful and all the fountains are so pretty at night. We rented a boat and went out on the lake which DS and DH loved. I think you will enjoy it.
that sounds delightful! thanks!

OK, here goes:

This is my mother's stylized interpretation of the first initials of my name, my dh's name and both of my boys' names (L, P, M, M) - the L is in the middle, the P is to the right, the first M is to the left and the second M is to the right. I so love that my mom designed this - so my tattoo involves me, dh, both boys and my mom :love:
VERY cool! even cooler that your mom came up with it!!

It took me a minute to realize you guys were talking about OTH! :) Love that show! :)

:rotfl: We love it too!

OMGosh! I thought the EXACT same thing! In fact...I even said something and everyone was mad at me when it happened.... Like it was MY fault?!?!? :confused3 I totally saw it coming. They better not kill her off...
I suspect they wanna cancel the show..im hoping im wrong!


I am not sure I know the abbreviations here...I need to look some up... But I also thought it was a great episode! :goodvibes

whatcha wanna know!?

I know it! :) I am pretty excited! Now I just need to get caught up on all of the pre-trippies and get to know you guys! :goodvibes
There are many.. mine is the best..:rolleyes1

My ADR call in date is June 6th...so it is coming up...so I should be able to reserve a spot for at least some of us! :) I think I can reserve up to 12 without getting into the "you are a group and must do X, Y or Z"...etc...

Idk if Synddy told you, but if Heatherbelle cant get an adr for that large a group (sophia,myself,heather and synddy's fam) then she is going to try for Cape may cafe. as it stands with the 4 of us, we have 17 people:scared1: so we have to figure out who will organize the 2nd group of disers (whcih I think you should). what do ya think?

[Beka]

I edited your schedule to reflect what I'll be doing at the same time:

Friday, September 11, 2009
*Breathe a sigh of relief that I don't have class this day, and trying to cram in homework.

Saturday, September 12, 2009
*Make frequent visits to FB & wonder where Jen & Sophia are.

Sunday, September 13, 2009
*Check FB. Again. Where the heck are those girls? Oh yeah...

Monday, September 14, 2009
*Weep a little that class has started again
*Dream about being in EPCOT

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

Wednesday, September 16, 2009
*Openly weep during clinical - vowing to return to WDW one day
*Hum the Imagination song to the mental health patients until it's stuck in their heads too

Thursday, September 17, 2009
*Rock in a corner, thumb jammy-packed into my mouth, and weep some more

Friday, September 18, 2009
*Repeat the previous week


Seriously, that looks like a ton of fun! I wish I was down there at the same time!

[inkedupmomma]

Well. That just blew my little pitiful spreadsheet out of the water.

we have not, but John loved the idea of it, and then Joe (Sophia's) husband said he really liked it, and that sealed the deal for John! It looks good, so I am stoked! I'll have to ask about when bands are there!


and lisa this is reply to you!

Lucky duck that you're close enough to drive!
Well, luck has nothing to do with it... even if we lived where you live, we'd be driving. I DON"T fly. ever. ever. ever.

Sounds nice and relaxing!
Yes, I needed to add relaxation time, so i can convince john to go on future wdw trips:thumbsup2

That's my plan too LOL
great minds..great minds..



I really wanted to try that restaurant, but dh asked for Sci-Fi (he so rarely asks for anything Disney-related that I buckled lol)

[inkedupmomma]

Sooo.. since I am in that "I don't know what to do or plan" phase, I will post some pics form last years trip ;> I honestly can not believe that was 8 months ago!! That trip was a blast to plan!! Having not been since 2005, made it so special, especially since we had another baby since then! I really look forward to years and years of WDW trip planning!

Now some pics, just for fun!

Great pics, thanks for sharing. I just think when our children grow up they will have so many wonderful childhood memories. :goodvibes

[Cinderelly5507]

Awwwww! I love the pics! I can't wait to go to Goofy's!:lovestruc We didn't make it last time! Between Goofy's and F&W booths, I'm going to be out of snack credits fast (assuming F&W takes them)!!

That's my plan!!

[lisalonglash]

Great pictures :goodvibes I know what you mean about planning coming to a standstill - I mean, how much can we really nail down without those bloody park hours?!?! :headache: The planner in me needs some liquor :lmao:

[Synndy]

We have no clue what were doing & when. :confused3

Dad likes it that way. He wants everything to be "go with the flow" but I think once hours are released it will be easier to get an idea.

We do know

AK on Sat when we get there. (and I wanna come visit with you guys @ Pop!)
Bfast with all the fab Disboarders
MK after
MNSSHP on Tuesday night (and maybe friday night again for just me :thumbsup2)
Universal some point (prolly weds?)


I love love love the pics of your kids sleeping. They are too freaking cute. I have a feeling I'm going to love them. I'm a nanny for 2 different families so naturally I gravitate towards kids & yours seem so cute.

Plus Kayla is prolly going to become my new BFF for the week. Anyone who can rock the Tink look like she can is an instant friend of mine! :lmao: :yay:

I'm so excited & cant wait.

117 days.... not like I'm counting or anything :rolleyes1

[OhioDisneyLover]

Love the pics Jenn!

Thank you! and the ones of them in the water are two of my favorite! I am pretty sure the donald family pic is my fav family shot as well! actually, without going through 68 pages of photobook pages, I tried to pick the ones that were my most fav on every 8 pages or so lol

Love the pics Jenn!
:hug:

We have no clue what were doing & when. :confused3

Dad likes it that way. He wants everything to be "go with the flow" but I think once hours are released it will be easier to get an idea.

We do know

AK on Sat when we get there. (and I wanna come visit with you guys @ Pop!)
Bfast with all the fab Disboarders
MK after
MNSSHP on Tuesday night (and maybe friday night again for just me :thumbsup2)
Universal some point (prolly weds?)


I love love love the pics of your kids sleeping. They are too freaking cute. I have a feeling I'm going to love them. I'm a nanny for 2 different families so naturally I gravitate towards kids & yours seem so cute.

Plus Kayla is prolly going to become my new BFF for the week. Anyone who can rock the Tink look like she can is an instant friend of mine! :lmao: :yay:

I'm so excited & cant wait.

117 days.... not like I'm counting or anything :rolleyes1
No I'm not couting either...:rolleyes1:lmao: anywho, your dad is a smart man though! Some of the best memories/moments happen spontaneously! and thank you for the compliments! I am pretty certain my kids will love you too! Especially Kayla! She lovessss the fact that we are meeting people from all over the United States, and totally appreciates the disboards for what they are:lovestruc

Great pictures :goodvibes I know what you mean about planning coming to a standstill - I mean, how much can we really nail down without those bloody park hours?!?! :headache: The planner in me needs some liquor :lmao:

why Lisa.. this is a new side of you! Liquor?? who knew:rotfl2: See in my head, everything is nailed down.. so obviously I'm gonna have a hissy if I don't agree with the park hours! here's to hoping we get everything we want!:drinking1

[inkedupmomma]

Sooo.. I just thought I would write to you all and let you know.....

School is officially done and over with!!:cool1:

I am so so soooo happy to be done.. yes, it was one class, yes, I shouldn't be complaining..but I hated it! I was just not in the right mind set. As much as I hated it, I did love going to class and being able to learn and have some me time. I just found it too hard to get done what I had to get done with Jack (and other kids) here constantly. BUT, I do plan to go back when he starts a steady pre-school program!!

ok, now on to other news. My friend Sue is going to Diseny the day free diing starts. Today was her day to call in for ADR's. Aside from Le cellier dinner (she got a lunch) and Mama Melrose fantasmic package, she was able to get all her adr's. She even got an 8:10 Crystal Palace ressie on the 16th! So I am hoping since we all will be there after the free dining rush, that we will have great luck!!

What are your thoughts?

That's what I'm hoping too! I'm gonna try for Le Cellier and an early CP breakfast too! I hope I can get my ADRs! I've got everything planned like you, but I know the ADRs and the park hours are gonna mess with my perfect plan!:rotfl2: I also hope the ADR system isn't still messing up by my ADR date!! They seem to be having a lot of problems with it lately, especially since they're trying to do the online thing...

What are my thoughts? My thoughts are that the park hours had better agree with the schedules that you and I and many many others have put hours of research into...:headache:

Oh, did you mean what are my thoughts about your friend getting all her ADRS? :rolleyes1 Oh, that's great, good for her! :thumbsup2

:rotfl::lmao::rotfl2:

[inkedupmomma]

Before I reply to everybody I would like to say R.I.P. Mickey Mouse :(
http://www.wdwnewstoday.com/archives/3573

Although not confirmed by Disney yet, it is said that Wayne Allwine, voice of our beloved Mickey Mouse, has passed away :(

I am truly truly sad. I feel even worse for Minnie, his real life girlfriend.'

ugh :sad1:

[hlrababy]

Oooh, that is horrible!!! :sad:

:rotfl::lmao::rotfl2:
I actually did mean, what do you think this means for us.. screw her(my friend) lol j/k She is happy for the most part. also, idk if i said it so i should clarify, although she did not get le cellier for dinner, she did snag a lunch..

That's what I'm hoping too! I'm gonna try for Le Cellier and an early CP breakfast too! I hope I can get my ADRs! I've got everything planned like you, but I know the ADRs and the park hours are gonna mess with my perfect plan!:rotfl2: I also hope the ADR system isn't still messing up by my ADR date!! They seem to be having a lot of problems with it lately, especially since they're trying to do the online thing...
I wonder why Le Cellier is so popular. I mean I'm dying to try it, but I honestly will not be crushed if I don't get it. I will however be crushed if I don't get both CRT ressies! I am reallly really hoping for all our OCD sakes, that the hours don't totally screw with our perfection! and if they do, they at least give us enough time to fix it to an even better spreadsheet!

What fun on your last trip!! I love the pics of the kids sleeping :lovestruc
Hhaha..the feet in the face is soo funny!
And all those snacks from Goofy's YUM I know it was only the boxes but I have always wanted to try there snacks and that pics and just the thought of the snacks in them were making my mouth water. :lmao:
Forgive me for no pics... enjoy these! You HAVE to go there next trip!

I am truly heart broken. I was just starting to love Mickey Mouse..now I'll have to get used to a new voice :( although, I am sure they will match incredibly well. It's like an end of everything I have known about Disney my whole life...:sick:

[OhioDisneyLover]

I am bummed about the voice of Mickey too. :sad1::sad1: So sad.......

On a happy note.......

No mooooooore teeeeeeeachers....no mooooooore boooooooooks....... (yeah, I'm singing for ya!!!!!!!!!)

Thank you Sophia!

[inkedupmomma]

So, idk if it is the fact that my trip is less than 3 and a half months away, or that Sophia is in Disney this weekend OR the fact that I just found out, that one of my dearest friends will be in Disney at CSR from September 12-20 m but I got the disney shopping bug!!

Yes, you read that right, my dear friend Kelly and her family (Her Dh,DD4,DS2, DM and DF) will be in Disney World, staying at the same resort, the same time we are:scared1: I could NOT be happier. I thought going Sophia was a gift from heaven, then the fact that I was going to be able to meet some of my favorite diser's made that even better, now this!! I feel like this :banana: inside:goodvibes

With that said, I just had to go out and do some Disney shopping! My friend Kelly's daughter is going to be 5 in November and this is her first trip! I am making my own kids gift baskets for this trip and wanted to make one for her kids as well! Of course I found wayyy more stuff for her DD than I did her DS, but I am having the same problem with my own kids!! Girl stuff is just sooooooo much cuter! Anywho, this trip is more about her DD this time around anyway!(not in a mean way, just she is the perfect princess age and
all)

I noticed Disney.com was having lots of sales, so I figured I would give the store at my local mall a shot first. I am NOT a fan of ordering things online.. I am almost always disappointed. I;m the type that needs to see and touch something before I buy it. I also prefer instant gratification..waiting for something to come in the mail KILLLLLS me! Although on the flip side, I LOVEE LOVVE LOVVE getting a box in the mail:lovestruc I am what you would call complicated lol

OK, so I went to the store, and much to my pleasure, a lot of the stuff that I saw online was in the store! I winded up getting each child a big towel (her dd got Ariel and her ds hot buzz) (my kids got tink and buzz). I also bought her DD an Ariel t-shirt, and an Ariel tank top. I bought a reusable shopping bag to put it all in. I am sure I will buy more along the way! The reusable bag I got them is also big and could be used as a beach bag! In addition to that stuff, I bought myself a huge canvas beach bag that I had been eying up! It was the last one left and 50% off! I never catch a break like that! I am smitten:cutie: I also bought a tink reusable bag that is all folded up in a little tink coin purse looking thing for Kayla's gift bag, and a pair of sunglasses for Jack.

So that was that..hopefully I will take pics of all that stuff soon. Actually, I will take pics tonight of everything I have for all the kids involved so far. Hopefully I will get them posted this week!

After the fun Disney shopping, we all went to Philadelphia and saw The Ringling Brothers "Zing Zang Zoom" Circus. Before the circus they offered to all ticket holders, a pre show with the animals, and then clown "college". We were first in line and first to enter both of these events! Talk about a lucky day! It was an amazing day! The pre show with the animals was really awesome. I was literally less than a foot away from the awesome elephants! I loves them!

My computer is being a piece of .... lately, so I will try to get pictures posted soon, but I don't want to make any promises!

Hope you all are having a fun and RELAXING memorial day weekend!!:flower3:

This is the crappier of the 3 pics I took, but it is the one PB uploaded (go figure:rolleyes:)

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Hey girl. Wanted to stop in and say Hi! Great finds at the DS! We got a new Disney outlet (park merch) store last week and they have the old Princess costumes (the really nice ones) for 13.99 EACH! I was like DARN that is cheap! I just got back from CSR and girl...the new rooms are amazing! I'll start a TR soon and I have some great pics from the resort!

Good luck with your dining. I called today around 2pm to do my last two days and the wait time was an estimated 24 minutes! I was like WTH!? It is crazy. Make sure you have a back up plan. I had to change a few things around but got everything we wanted. I will say we had some strange requests though. SOme were hot spots but others...we just wanted to try out new places.

[OhioDisneyLover]

Great finds Jenn! I just love Disney shopping!

I'm excited that your friend will be there the same time that we are going. :wizard:

[lisalonglash]

Disney shopping is the best! :goodvibes You found some great stuff! :thumbsup2 How fun that your friend will be there too! :yay:

[Synndy]

I miss having a Disney Store around here.... they closed all of them :sad1:

So sad :sad1:

The nearest one is like an 2 hours away :mad:

I guess thats better for my wallet.... I never could leave the store with out getting something. :lmao:

[Trentmom]

I swore I commented, but I Guess I did not as I see nothing :laughing:

Anyways...that is so awesome that you have another friend that is going to be there the same time as you..how fun:goodvibes

Wow.. I would LOVE to have an outlet here.. i should google it! I would like for Kayla and Jack to be Jasmine and Aladdin for Halloween this year! and a sneaky trip, how'd you sneak that one in? looking forward to the pics! did you stay there prior to the refurb?

from what i have read, 24 mins isn't bad.. some people have been waiting over an hour, only to be disconnected:scared1: I'm crossing my fingers that we don't have as much troule since it is after the fd rush...:rolleyes1

Great finds Jenn! I just love Disney shopping!

I'm excited that your friend will be there the same time that we are going. :wizard:

Lot of Great buys. Is that a Tinkerbell Pillow in the pile? so cute :cutie:

IT IS a tink pillow!! That was a super sweet deal too, like 2.50 a couple months ago!

[princess_momma]

Hi we will be there at the same time (I'll be there 9/10 through 9/16 at Pop!!!) I haven't read through your whole PTR yet, but I am going to write now!! I'm so excited!!

[inkedupmomma]

:welcome: Thanks for joining in! Hope you stick around :) I love that you are a young mom, I was(ahem, am) a mom at 19 as well!

Wow, all that stuff looks good!

thanks:goodvibes little by little that pile will be amazing! the boys still need some stuff..but girl stuff seems much easier to buy

[Myhappythought5]

Those pics really did make me drool more!!!:lmao:
I even have my mom now wanting to go there. That is one of the things she talks about the most. "when can we fit it in? and we will have to go there more than once." She is wanting the pretzles.


What great stuff you found. We need to start shopping for things. Now you have lit the fire under my booty to get shopping. :goodvibes

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I bet they'd ship to you. They had Jasmine, Aurora, Cindy, and Belle. 13.99 each...it's the 2006-07 WDW costumes. They were much prettier than the current ones. Google the store...it's located inside the Tanger Outlet on Hwy 501...NOT the other ones on 17. That one has DS outlet but this is like a Character Primere or something with park merch in it. They had a bunch of NBC hoodys/sweatshirts for adults and kids too. You'd love that store.

The kids fell asleep through the I4 stretch and woke back up right before I hit the Disney gate and saw a Disney bus! That is when they knew! :lmao:

Yep. We stayed at CSR in '07....that's where my undies were stolen. We had a Junior Suite (free upgrade). Those rooms were kind of ugly...looked like the Wilderness Lodge rooms I just posted on the TR. The new rooms are GORGEOUS!!!! They look better than ANY room I have seen at WDW! They were awesome! I have a bunch of pics cming up in my new TR. You will LOVE them!

I wish they'd hire the man power to handle the phones. That's all it is. WDW has laid off so many people and they aren't staffed to handle things now. You see this everywhere. People are so rude and a lot of places are short staffed...make sure you avoid the CSR food court for that very reason! They're so rude, OMG. And the food this time was awful. In December we had a wonderful meal over there. After this visit I don't know that I'll go back to eat there.

[AlohaPolynesian]

I'M STILL HERE!!! I finally caught up!!

I love the Easter photos and communion photos! Kayla looked so pretty!

Gotta love getting your ticket in the REAL mail! I can't wait to hear all about MNSSHP - sounds so much fun! I don't like regular Halloween anymore because I'm sick of all the stupid college girls dressing like hookers walking around!! How about some good clean Halloween fun!?!?

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your tattoos!! I can't say it enough! Especially the work you got done on your arm - AMAZING! I wish I could do that. I have 3 but they are random LOL.

The pics of your last trip look like you guys had a lot of fun and reading your itinerary for this trip looks like it will be even better! I wish I could go with you! You have so much fun stuff planned.

ALSO, can you make me a gift basket!? Thanks.

[inkedupmomma]

Dear disboards, Please for the love of disney, update me when people reply to what i say!! This is not the first time I have checked my PTR only to find more than one reply!! K,thanks!

That trip was DREAMY. Like couldn't have asked or planned for a better time. and I think you are right, this year will also be fabntabulous!

ALSO, can you make me a gift basket!? Thanks.
What kind;)

hmm.. I never even thought to see if we have a disney outlet near me!! I think I will now though!

i don't usually do food courts at the hotel anyways, but thanks for the heads up.. am I sick in the head for wanting to go there now.. just so if someone is rude i can unleash my puerto ricaness?? (y, i am half puerto rican..and it shows in my tude) I don't handle rude people well and I will put them in their place.. I feel like this is a challenge now...:rolleyes1

Those pics really did make me drool more!!!:lmao:
I even have my mom now wanting to go there. That is one of the things she talks about the most. "when can we fit it in? and we will have to go there more than once." She is wanting the pretzles.
The pretzels were the BEST imho! I absolutely loved them more than all the other goodies!

What great stuff you found. We need to start shopping for things. Now you have lit the fire under my booty to get shopping. :goodvibes

YES, go shopping NOW!! so many cute things on sale. I went back yesterday.. but they had all the same stuff on sale, so I didn't need to get anymore stuff..for now... I did get Disney Dollars though!

[alan_renfroe]

What's up, IUM. Just giving you a holla! Hope all is well.

[inkedupmomma]

Ok, well, I have not been around very much.. apparently my life is much busier this year than it was last??

I also think the excitement of a 1st PTR makes you wanna write about every little thing?? Not that it isn't as equally exciting now, I just think I forget a bit easier?? Nah, let's go with life is busier!

Ok, what do I have to talk about and share... updated Itinerary! Due to the hours FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY coming out for September I was able to finalize my itin a bit! so here goes:

Saturday september 12,2009
*Arrive at WDW and do a dance! I don't know if I've shared, but we ar now staying at CSR instead of POP, but not adding it on to our existing package. We don't want to pay for another night of the DXDP, so it will be a room only ressie.Staying at CSR instead of POP will allow for an easier transition the following morning when our DXDP starts..plus hopefully we won't have to change rooms! But if we do, at least we are on property already!

*Meet up with Joe and Sophia and my friend Kelly and her beautiful family! (seriously, wait til you see pics of these kids...so soo soooo cute). Actually. I'll see if she will let me post a pic of her dd and my jack from last year.

*Relax and stuff.. maybe eat a tiny snack, depending on what time it is...maybe even swim?

*DTD!! Eat at EoS, then dessert at T-Rex!!

*Back to CSR..maybe swim..prolly not. I want to make sure we are nice and rested for tomorrow!!!

Sunday, September 13,2009

*Check out of CSR and then check back in LOL. Today starts our DXDP:banana: Hopefully they won't screw things up, and be nice and fast and have a new room ready or let us keep the existing one we have! That would be ideal!

*Today is our DISmeet...although, Heather (HeatherBelle) will not be with us, and it gives me a mega sad :( It will NOT be the same without her, but I will print out a pic and put her at the table with us! Synddy (Amanda) and her family will be joining us for this meet still, as will myself and Sophia (and our families) My friend Kelly, will not be joining us for this. originally we were supposed to meet at Chef Mickey's, but we have changed that to 1900 Park Fare. No fantasmic screwed up my previous perfect itinerary!

*Head over to MK:banana:

*Do the things you do at MK!

*Dinner at CRT with Sophia, Joe, her Mom, and Kelly and her family and Kelly's mom. 12 people total:scared1:

*Stay for wishes.

* I think MK has PM EMH's this night too.. maybe we will stay a bit longer??

Monday, September 14, 2009

*Today is our DHS day..and what we were hoping would be our Fantasmic day..not happening. Today we will start off at BOMA and then head to DHS.

* I am planning on running straight to TSMM and snatching up FP's for us all.. hopefully while I (and usually if talking about running or physical activity, by I, I am referring to John:rotfl:) am running for FP's we can get in line for TSMM or something else fun! I'd like to ride this ride as many times as possible this trip!

* Today I will focus on old favorites and if time permits try some things I have not done before (ie: Star Tours).

*Have dinner at 50's PTC now with Sophia and her crew!

* After dinner, we are going to book it over to MK, tonight is the only night that we could fit Spectro in and i REFUSE to miss it!

Tuesday, September 15,2009

*Wake up early and head over to DAK! Today we have breakfast with Sophia nd her fam and Kelly and her fam. Tusker house!

* Go on safari immediately after breakfast!

*Go on rides and SEE shows!! Missed them last time, and I was BUMMED!

*Lunch at Yak and Yeti with Kelly and her familia.

*Stay for Jammin Jungle Parade..maybe.

*Go back to resort...OPEN night.. yes I know.. weird for me! But we really want to explore CSR and just enjoy being with friend and family! May do Maya Grille tonight... anyone ever been there? Thoughts please!

* If the mood strikes, hit up DTD... but actually, we plan on having a few drinkies this evening with Kelly and her husband..so who knows? Swimming in that awesome dig site pool is def gonna happen though!

* Also, Laundry day part 1!

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

*Today is our 1st Epcot day. Breakfast at Akeshurs with Sophia and her fam, and Kelly and her fam! I am so so sooooo excited to see Kelly's DD's reaction to all the princesses! I feel so blessed to be able to enjoy this first experience with them! I can not imagine a better situation than being at Disney World with great friends:cloud9::lovestruc

* Today is our World show case day..but may switch to our Future World day? Since we will end up at breakfast so early, it may make more sense to make this my Future World day.. Ok, noted to self.

*Today, I will be eating School Bread..yes I will!

* I will make sure to do fun Character Meets today! I soo sooo sooo want to get pics with Sorcerer Mickey!!

*Dinner at Biergarten with Sophia and her fam and Kelly and her fam!! Although I am not super thrilled with the menu, I am.. does that make sense?/ I am just excited to try something new!1 and I really think all the DH's in the group are going to love us for picking this!!

*Stay for illuminations??

Thursday, September 17, 2009- Sophia and Joe's wedding anniversary!

*As planned, we will go to Kona with Sophia and her fam! YUM!

* Photo shoot with them afterwards:dance3:(Thanks again Sophia!!) We still haven't decided what we are all wearing! Any suggestions you guys?? (no Hawaiian print shirts lol, John will NOT do it!)

* After the photo shot we will be heading to DAK and DHS..or possibly just one of them if we got it all done the days prior.

*So since there was no Fantasmic! going on when we cold go, we are now doing 1900 Park Fare for dinner:scared1: I know, me doing a dinner BUFFET!! I am going to try it! It makes life easier too. Tonight is Sophia's SURPRISE wishes cruise for Joe, that she so graciously invited us to! the cruise leaves from the GF, so it just made sense to eat here and not have to rush! I am dreading the GF's parking lot...you have to park in east bumble..well you know.

*Wishes cruise with snacks,decorations and a special anniversary cake!! I am soo stoked, and again, feel so blessed to be able to be part of this! I am pretty sure I will cry during these wishes!

Friday, September 18, 2009-MNSSHP:banana::dance3::yay::cheer2::cool1:

*Today we will be "sleeping in". We are hoping to get a late ADR of 9:30 am at Chef Mickey's with Sophia, Joe and her mama!

* DTD for shopping and maybe Mini-golf??

*Back to CSR for swimming and naps!

* Laundry Part 2!

*Early dinner at CRT, just the 4 of us!

*MNSSHP!!! I am sooooo EXCITEDDDDDD! Synddy (Amanda) and her family will be here tonight as well!

* One of us WILL get a picture that rules of the headless horseman this year!

Saturday, September 19, 2009

*SLEEP In for real today! If everything goes as planned we will have stayed at MNSSHP til we got kicked out!!! Last year I made an early ADR for after the party and it never happened! So I will allow for sleeping in and actually feeling rested!

*Perhaps send John down for a quick bite to eat at Pepper Market.

* Today is our 2nd Epcot day! Since we will not be having a real breakfast, I have scheduled Coral Reef for lunch! I don't care what anyone says, we LOVED it here!

*Since we will be getting her later than any other day, it will be our world showcase day!

*Dinner at Le Cellier.

** Note, if I can not get dinner at Le Cellier, I will see if I can snag a lunch, and then we will do Coral reef for dinner! Stay for illuminations if we did not the 1st time!


Sunday, September 20, 2009- John's Birthday!!!:cake:party::bday:

*Going back to the MK today :lovestruc Breakfast at CP, earliest ADR possible!! Sophia and I are panning on getting some awesome shots of an empty MK!!

*Ride everything we love all over again, for the last time:sad1: Must do's- HM,PotC.BLYSRS,Dumbo,Peter Pan,Snow White,Philharmagic,and TMAoWTP.and HM again lol.

*Possibly eat a CS lunch, if not use up some more of the 50000 snack credits we have!

* Dinner at HDDMR!! This is going to be our last night tradition, as CRT isour first night tradition :lovestruc

* Today the MK has PM EMH, so, we may go back and just stay all night! We are driving down, so we do not have to be up super early the next day!

Monday, September 21, 2009- Departure day:charac2:

* Sleep in again! That drive home is long and sad, and just awful. Gonna call for an extended check out, just so we can enjoy the time there a bit more.

* We will still have one TS credit left.. any clue where we should eat?? I was thinking of avoiding a character meal, as I do not want to make myself sad..but is that dumb?? Do you think it would be a good way to end the vacation?/ If so, I'm gonna try for Ohana's...what do you think??

*Go back to resort and walk around a bit more, and get pics of whatever I may have missed!!

* Check out :(

* Hit up DTD and use up our last food credit at EoS for the ride home, and also hit up Goofy's to use our left over snack credits! We will bring home lots.. I am sure! They will make nice souvenirs for some people!

* Drive home, and plan next September's WDW vacation!!

So NOW what do you all think??? Any ideas,advice and recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

and for your viewing pleasure, a couple pics of Kelly and her family and Kelly's DD Lily with jack last year at Sesame Place!

Kelly, Jeff(her DH), Lily and Weston:

Saturday september 12,2009
*DTD!! Eat at EoS, then dessert at T-Rex!!

OK, so if we go to DTD, we could meet up this night...

*Dinner at Biergarten with Sophia and her fam and Kelly and her fam!! Although I am not super thrilled with the menu, I am.. does that make sense?/ I am just excited to try something new!1 and I really think all the DH's in the group are going to love us for picking this!!

I really can't wait to try Biergarten - I think we're going to LOVE it! :cool1:

*Stay for illuminations??

Saturday, September 19, 2009

* Today is our 2nd Epcot day! Since we will not be having a real breakfast, I have scheduled Coral Reef for lunch! I don't care what anyone says, we LOVED it here!

Yay, another day at the same place! Maybe you should change Le Cellier to Chefs de France for dinner this day... ;)

* We will still have one TS credit left.. any clue where we should eat?? I was thinking of avoiding a character meal, as I do not want to make myself sad..but is that dumb?? Do you think it would be a good way to end the vacation?/ If so, I'm gonna try for Ohana's...what do you think??

What about Chef Mickey's? It's so cheerful there! :goodvibes That's why I chose CM for our last day breakfast :banana:

Your itinerary looks wonderful!! Soooooo much fun to be had! :woohoo:

[ZapdGrrl]

Aww, Jenn, those pictures! That was a fun day :) And Weston was such a little, baby mush! Crazy!

I am so unbelievably excited for this trip!!! We totally have to book for next year too because I think that once we get home, we'll have massively depressed crashes and not be able to get out of bed becasue Disney was so much fun!

Sophia, I can't wait to meet you!

And I need to read the rest of this thread once I drop Lil off at school.
<3

Hi Lisa, we are doing CM on the 18th, so I'm not sure we will do that again. We have never tried Ohana's for breakfast, that's why I threw that one out there. Have you ever tried it?

As for Les Chef's de France, we have never tried Le cellier. So maybe we will do Le Cellier for lunch, and do Chef's for dinner? I'll have to see if John is ok with cutting out Coral reef... prolly not gonna happen..He LOVES it there..but I can be persuasive!

Aww, Jenn, those pictures! That was a fun day :) And Weston was such a little, baby mush! Crazy!

He was such a lil mush..mawe for babies!
Can I tell you just how EXCITED I am for this trip..and even more so hearing (reading) you say that you already wanna rebook! Life does not get any better!

I look forward to your Pre-Trip report:3dglasses

[OhioDisneyLover]

Are we gonna meet Lisa together or separate?

[lisalonglash]

Are we gonna meet Lisa together or separate?

How about both!! Then I can meet you both TWICE! :banana:

I'm again pondering my itinerary though - had a long talk with my awesome TA and she may have convinced me that we should go to Fantasmic, which involves moving park days again! :laughing:

[OhioDisneyLover]

Sounds good to me. I'm in for whatever works for everyone. I have to get my itin posted on my PTR but my days are pretty close to Jenn's. OOOhhhh, I can't wait!:woohoo:

[inkedupmomma]

I'm down for whatever.. just gimme a heads up where to be!

[Trentmom]

How exciting you are staying at CSR :cool1:


Love all your tickers:goodvibes


Itinerary looks great:thumbsup2

[inkedupmomma]

How exciting you are staying at CSR :cool1:


Love all your tickers:goodvibes

Hey you, how are you?? I am sooo excited to stay at CSR!! and I had to put all new tickers up.. the last ones disappeared:confused3

Glad you like the itinerary!

[Trentmom]

WOW...you are good


How heck did you get 4 tickers to fit in your signature :cool1:

[inkedupmomma]

WOW...you are good


How heck did you get 4 tickers to fit in your signature :cool1:

I'm not sure.... but, if you wanna send me your stuff, I can try and set it up like mine and then you can fit more stuff..lol.. total crap shoot though!

[OhioDisneyLover]

Yeah, how did you do it? Mine are hidden. :confused3 Now I wanna start over. :eek:

[inkedupmomma]

Yeah, how did you do it? Mine are hidden. :confused3 Now I wanna start over. :eek:

I honestly don't know

[inkedupmomma]

Idk if anyone beside me has noticed..but my ticker says I can call to make my ADR's in 2 days!!:banana: I am soooo excited!! From what I can read so far, people are having an ok time making ADR's for September! Let's hope this stays true!

On a sadly note, our once awesome Dis-meet is no longer happening :( Due to the wishes cruise Sophia is booking and stoopid Disney not showing Fantasmic! like we had hoped, we had to change around some ADR's. Since the wishes cruise leaves from the grand floridian, John and I decided it would jut be easier to eat there.,.don't you know John decided he wants to eat at 1900 Park Fare..yes, a buffet:scared1: The thing is, we were supposed to go to 1900 the next morning as well for breakfast..although it is 2 different meals, I just don't think it will be as fun if we go there 2 days in a row:confused3 Unfortunately, due to the change Amanda's cousin no longer wants to do the meet, since I suggested changing it to 1900 instead of CM's. Anyone confused yet lol

Anywho, so while the breakfast is off, we will still get to meet Amanda at MNSSHP and hopefully another night! But breakfast would have been fun!

Sophia and my friend Kelly get to make their ADR's tomorrow:banana: but I have to wait til Monday to make mine:headache: I am confident they will be able to snag great ressies though!

I feel like my PTR has been so boring this time around. Not much has happened that is earth shattering or blog worthy. I did do another mini disney shopping trip, and got Jack a Buzz Lightyear swim set and flip-flops...but that's about it :rolleyes:

Oh, I also started my binder and plan on making my tip envelopes soon! One thing that I do need help with, is a list of expenses we will have. Last year I made a list of stuff that we will need money for ex: gas money,food on way down,souvenir, rent money since I don't get paid vacation:mad:, etc... I started a thread for this question, but I'm sure you guys have some great ideas too! Even the little small stuff, like a coffee at stop number 3 during the drive will be helpful.. I just want to make sure I am a bit more prepared this year! I did have an awesome list already.. but either myself or John threw it out on accident:sad2:

Ok, I think that's it for now..maybe I will read my old PTR and see what was so exciting then.. maybe my mind is just fried this year??

[Trentmom]

That stinks you lost your list.

Are you driving straight through?

If you stop, you would need money for a hotel overnight.


You already have gas and food down and tips and souvneirs, right?.

You are on deluxe dining plan right? So guess those tips are included.


Can't think of anything else, but am sure you got some great suggestions you got on the other thread:goodvibes

[inkedupmomma]

Yes it does:headache:

I hve..but i swear im missing stuff :(

[Trentmom]

Are you doing anything other than the parks?

Are you giong to any other attractions?

You would need money for that if so.

Minature golf? The "Other" Park?:rotfl:

Alcohol???:laughing:

[Beka]

Do you have the driving directions to Myrtle Beach to come pick me up on your way down?

How about some nifty surprise gifts for me too? (Hey, I'm a kid at heart, just ignore the gray.)

I'll babysit so you and DF can go on a date! Puhleeeeeez! Nursing School, Schmursing School (that's hard to say). My future can wait, I'll need a Mickey fix, even if it'll only be a few weeks after I get back!

[Beka]

Lessee... if you're goin through GA, then it's about 4 hours from ATL.... so maybe an 8 hour detour? We can hit 95 somewhere... If you go through SC, then it should only be a 4-6 hour detour! :banana: eezy peezy banana squeezy!

Those pictures are great! :thumbsup2 That museum looks like so much fun!! It looks like you and your princess had a great time out too :goodvibes

[Beka]

It's a tie between the pics of Kayla & Jack & Alice! That looks like an awesome display!

[Myhappythought5]

That museum looks so fun. What a great time. And you and your daughter are so cute.

I was also thinking you could do Chef Mickey that last day. That is a fun way to leave the World. :goodvibes

[AlohaPolynesian]

Ahhhh I love the last pic of you and Kayla hahaha

[alan_renfroe]

What a cool museum! I love that little hallway with all the doors. That's way cool.

Oh, and as long as you are stopping by Myrtle Beach on your way down, you may as well swing over to Jacksonville Alabama. Heck, I'll even pitch in on beer money. ;)

[OhioDisneyLover]

Cute pictures Jenn!

Sounds like you and Kayla had a great girls day and the museum with Jack looked like a blast!

[Trentmom]

That museum looks like a blast.

We went to the one in New Jersey, but just did not seem that fun to me

That one looks way too better. I am assuming that is the one in Philly?

Cute pics of you and Kayla :cutie:

Thank you! and yes it is the one in philly! which one did you go to? garden state discovery museum?? cause we LOVED that one too?? I am curious now!

Cute pictures Jenn!

Sounds like you and Kayla had a great girls day and the museum with Jack looked like a blast!
Best part of museum day was that it was FREE! My boss bought a year membership and can bring 4 people..so her and her boy me and my boy = For freeee..sounds good to meeeee:thumbsup2

What a cool museum! I love that little hallway with all the doors. That's way cool.
that is supposed to be the Alice in wonderland hallway..you become "taller" as you walk through it lol! Jack was so confused!

Oh, and as long as you are stopping by Myrtle Beach on your way down, you may as well swing over to Jacksonville Alabama. Heck, I'll even pitch in on beer money. ;)
Now beer may lure John:rolleyes1

Ahhhh I love the last pic of you and Kayla hahaha
She thinks it is the BEST picture that we ever took together! LOL

That museum looks so fun. What a great time. And you and your daughter are so cute.
awe, thank you:cutie:
I was also thinking you could do Chef Mickey that last day. That is a fun way to leave the World. :goodvibes
We are doing Chef Mickeys on Friday the 18th!

It's a tie between the pics of Kayla & Jack & Alice! That looks like an awesome display!
I thought of you the whole time!

Those pictures are great! :thumbsup2 That museum looks like so much fun!! It looks like you and your princess had a great time out too :goodvibes

Kayla and I did have a great time.. she sat with me while i got tattooed lol! then we went and saw night at the museum 2.. which was hysterical..but i'm a simpleton, so don't quote me!

[Trentmom]

Um...been awhile..but think that was the one..was it in Cherry Hill?

We went there for a bday party.


Trent looked aat a few things, but seemed bored

He had the most fun in the little kids play, for babies :rotfl:

It was about 2 years ago, so maybe because he was younger than, did not do much for him??

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Awesome pics!!!! That place you and Jack went to looks so cool! And those shoes!!!! I WANT A PAIR MYSELF!!!!

Love how Jacks hair is done...that is a great idea for my little guy. Last Summer he fell down at HRP and got a bunch of stitches in his head. Well...supposedly if I keep it out of the sun anf keep is massaged most of the scar will fade away over time. The bandana is a great alternative to a hat. He gets too hot in a hat! I might have to do the bandana thing.

[inkedupmomma]

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I get to make my ADR's tomorrow!! I am excitedddddd..and nervous, but mostly excitedddddd:banana:

How old is he again? and yes garden state discovery museum is the one in Cherry Hill. Kayla and I Lovedd it there.. but we are lil toddlers at heart lol!

Awesome pics!!!! That place you and Jack went to looks so cool! And those shoes!!!! I WANT A PAIR MYSELF!!!!
Seriously, me too! They had monster inc and batman ones too!! you should look to see if this museum has an affiliate near you! I know they do all over the us..just not sure where!

Do it! Jacks hair is curly, so although long, it stays in his face!! Drives me (and I'm sure him) nuts, but I loveee his curls and don't have the stomach to cut it! and your poor ds.. i could see that happening to Jack!!

Trent is 5 and half.

When we went..I guess he was 3 and half maybe?

Maybe he was too young to enjoy it then

Have to check it out again..maybe now that he is older he would find it more fun :goodvibes

[Trentmom]

Good luck tomorrow popcorn::

[Beka]

I thought of you the whole time!




Seriously, I love AIW, but vintage AIW *swoon*. Can't stand it I love it so much. If I had a girl, she'd be bombarded with cherries & vintage AIW. Poor kid, guess that's why I got a boy :laughing:

I am officially suffering from ADR envy ;). Your trip is going to be so awesome :).

No worries, I am terrible at keeping up with peoples PTR's/TR's. Also, I haven't been very nice to my own PTr and even updated in a while:confused3 I hope our trip is even half as awesome as last year's trip!

[inkedupmomma]

72 days left until our 2nd annual WDW vacation! I am getting realllly excited! Time is just flying by ridiculously fast! Next thing I know, we will be on our 3rd annual WDW trip:confused3 Most would be happy about this, but it just makes me sad to think how big my kids are getting, all in the blink of an eye!

Man, am I bummer or what:lmao:

In disney news, my Disney store has gotten Disney Dollars in stock and I have been stocking up little by little..not much, $10 here $10 there. Hopefully I'll have a decent amount before we leave! I'm also going to save one for the scrap book!

In really exciting news, I FINALLY got my "dream" camera! We bought the Canon Rebel XSi. :banana: BUT, I have noooo clue how to work it.. for someone who has wanted to be a photographer for as long as I can remember, you would think I would have dabbled in it... guess that is what happens when you have kids and you nanny everyday :lmao: Should be fun to test out in Disney!:lovestruc I also went to target today and bought a few little things for the trip. Some tooth brush covers, laundry detergent, travel alieve, and band-aids. My biggest concern is having clothes that FIT for the trip:headache: I was doing SO SO SO well with going to the gym..and now not so much.. I'm trying to get back on track though!:flower3:

This weekend I am going to Kelly's house for the 4th, and hopefully we will be able to make a countdown calendar!! I'm kind of at a loss at what else I should be doing for the trip right now.. I feel like I have so much to do..yet nothing at all..Any ideas folks??

Oh, I also have decided I need my own personal space, so I went to IKEA and bought myself an office:
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c119/jennpaul1981/stuff/Noahs2ndbirthday035.jpg (imagine another bookshelf like the one pictured, next to that one.. we ha to buy it in 2 separate trips since the boxes were so huge!)

I was also feel elderly looking so I chopped off all my hair!

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c119/jennpaul1981/stuff/fathersday09073.jpg

Please be kind:flower3:

[inkedupmomma]

Hey guys.. sorry I have been MIA. I don't really have a whole lot on the disney front to report :/ On a fun note, DD Kayla landed a very small role in the children's theater at Bucks County Playhouse's version of Beauty and the Beast. She plays a rose, and has 2 small lines:lovestruc She absolutely LOVES being on the stage, and I am so proud of her. She's got a bigger set of you know whats than I ever did! She is really hoping they pick her for some more shows this Fall!

On the personal front, John landed a new job, I think I may have mentioned it in earlier post? and he absolutely LOVES it! What a world of difference it has made with his attitude! It is nice that somebody finally recognizes hard work, and thanks him! As far as my job goes,my boss is pregnant:scared1: I am not exactly sure how I am going to take on yet ANOTHER child, but I am sorta elated! I have been having baby fever, so now I can get my fix without doing the deed myself, hehe! I am not so secretly hoping for a girl...who I hope she will name Peyton. :)

This summer seems to be just flying by! Which is a good thing and a bad thing! Good because it brings me closer to my disney trip, and bad because I don't think I am spending enough time just enjoying it.. we are always on the go go go! I am hoping August proves to be a bit slower! I am dying to get a Sesame Place trip in soon! I will have some new Ink pics for you all soon too! I got tomorrow to get my other arm started:banana: I know you are all excited :) I have to run right now, because I am "working" at both showings at the playhouse, so I should go shower lol But I will leave you with some fun 4th of July pics!

Also, what do you think of my new, not so flattering but thats ok because it looks punk rock bathing suit??

[Beka]

*love* the suit. I need a new one. DH said I look like a "granny" in mine (it's green seersucker, two things I love, but apparently don't look good in). I gotta find one that holds the "girls" up, but that's easier said than afforded.

What does John do?

[englishrose47]

Thank you! I am really hoping they have either a new jack frame..or the same so I can get another one.


I smell a mini-DisMEET! Do you have a PTR???

Woooooooohooooooooooo for John! It's fantastic to be appreciated for doing your work well :yay:

Awww, how adorable is he?! pirate:

Also, what do you think of my new, not so flattering but thats ok because it looks punk rock bathing suit??

I think you look fabulous! Your suit looks wonderful :thumbsup2

[inkedupmomma]

*love* the suit. I need a new one. DH said I look like a "granny" in mine (it's green seersucker, two things I love, but apparently don't look good in). I gotta find one that holds the "girls" up, but that's easier said than afforded.

What does John do?
I also love seersucker! and i got my suit at target! I was shocked to see something so cool! Kayla has an almost matching one from Old Navy:lovestruc and john is an auto mechanic.. dirty hands..always lol

Yes I do have a ptr on the PTR board called Rosie plus Five !!! I a working thru my plans !! Check it out!!!!:thumbsup2
I will look for it! You should put a link in your siggy!

Aww, that sounds adorable! I'm sure she'll be a lovely rose :lovestruc

She does make a cute rose! thanks!

Woooooooohooooooooooo for John! It's fantastic to be appreciated for doing your work well :yay:


I agree!

Rosie plus Five and Free Dining !! September 2009 Pre Trippie- http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2153995

Now after you have copied the rosieplus5 and link add that to your signature...I'm assuming you know how to get there since you have stuff written in your sig:lmao:

Let me know if you were able to follow that !

[inkedupmomma]

I somehow missed the 60 day mark, and did not make a countdown calendar.. guess I will make a 30 day countdown calendar! but screw it, I am at 58 days... Holy Guacamole!:banana: I feel like time is starting to close in on me..and that I have so much to do..but yet, not really?? I know I want to make letters to give my kids each morning from a character.. any ideas for wording or decor ideas???

I also need to get it together so I can get my stuff together to decorate my window in my room once we get there! I got a bunch of great ideas, and hope it looks as nice as some of the pics I have seen on here!

Ok.. Let's move on to my expense list. This s what I have come up with so far:

* Food on the way down

*Gas there and back..wish I wrote down how many times we stopped last year.. i think it was 3.

*Souvenir money- Here are my musts off the top of my head : Pins, vinylmation, Christmas ornaments, Passports from epcot for kids, Scrap book, and some scrapping supplies with 2009 on it, 2009 photo album, picture frame, embroidered Mickey ears for Jack (Kayla got a pair in 2005), and any NMBC stuff that I have to "have".... and that's just the "Must" get list:rolleyes1

*Money to cover what i won't be making that week at work ;/

*Tip Money for restaurants and mouskeeping ( Those envelopes are made already!)

*Pics from dif attractions/restaurants that i might "need". (Only got suckered into one last year!)

*$200.00 for bounceback offer ;>

*Quarters and pennies for pressed pennies, and a pressed penny book for each child.

*Big picture frame if I can find one..like a collage frame?

*One of the blankets if they offer the cheaper blanket for purchases over $50.00 ;)

and that's all I have for now!

now for my things to do/remember 2009 list:

*Have gifts for the kids when we leave/get there ( i have a ton of stuff I have been buying.. should I give it to them before we leave, or try and sneak into hotel room before them and set it up on bed??)

*Make family shirts..maybe I'll start those today..(anyone know how to make mickey head tie dye shirts?)

*Get Kelly to make Jack his Aladdin costume.. I really hope this works out!

*Start sending kids letters from dif characters to get them in the mood.. I need to find Disney stamps.. agian, anyone ever do this? suggestions?

*Bring changes of clothes with us to the parks..that was a dumb mistake last year! Also put bathing suits under clothes in case they find water stuff...

*bring chapstick.. my lips got burned last year lol

*Bring the over the door hanger thingy.. worked out great last year!

*Bring the double stroller.. I think I will always bring a stroller to wdw.. great way to lug stuff around and not kill your back!

*Bring big pens for characters to sign with! (got these, and put them in kids gift bags :))

*Buy autograph books once we get to resort! Is there anywhere that has a complete collection of the autograph books?

*Perhaps try the mini-golf on our off morning?

*Bring cardstock and metallic pens for characters to sign autographs, makes for easy scrapbook decor (bought that stuff :))

*Bring cases of water down for ourselves, sophia, and kelly's family. Much better than using a snack credit!

*See Spectro this time!

*Bring hangers again! They do not give you enough, and I hate folding clothes!

*Get tide pen to go (got it!)

*Get digital slr camera (GOT IT!!!!:woohoo::banana::cool1:)

*Get Jack and Kayla water shoes. (Got Jack's!)

*Make a list of people I need to buy souvenirs for..and how much I would like to spend!

*and last but not least, and the reason i started writing today:

*buy myself new clothes...well guess what??? I DID!!!! Yes folks, i bought myself clothes! $ pairs of shorts..yes shorts, and a bunch of tops! and it all fits nice, and is light weight, and super comfy! Last year I had a heck of time finding stuff that fit great or that I liked! this year I was very lucky! I still have to buy more "disney" themed shirts though! we decided it would be easier if we all just wore disney character shirts for the most part. the kids are pretty ok in that dept, but John and I still need a few each.

So that's that! What do you all think?

[Trentmom]

Congrats to Kayla :yay:

Thats awesome John has a new job that he loves :goodvibes

Cute bathing suit :cutie:

Did you know you can get autograph books online now? You can even get personalized ears. It might help with your souvie budget if you can buy those things now.

Here's a link to the autograph books: http://www.disneystore.com/disney/store/DSISearch?Searchstr=autograph&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=Search&storeId=10051&catalogId=10002&categoryId=11776&langId=-1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&N=0&Nu=pProductID&Nr=OR(pStoreID%3A10051%2CpStoreID%3A10601%2CpStore ID%3A10052)&Ntk=All_Shopping&Ntt=autograph&selectedOption=All+of+Disney+Store&D=autograph&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Dr=OR(pStoreID%3A10051%2CpStoreID%3A10601%2CpStore ID%3A10052)&Dn=0&lid=search_submit

I just want it to be here already! and thanks for the recommendation! last time we saw Spectro (2005) we just happened to stumble upon it, and had GREAT spots directly in front of the castle.. It literally was sooo magical! I may try for that again.. but won't cry if I can't!

I'm here..just had a crazy weekend! promise to update tomorrow!

[inkedupmomma]

Call me...or facebook me...or whatever! :lmao:

Wait..PM me your facebook link! I didn't know you were on there! I rarely do myspace anymore!

[inkedupmomma]

As promised, I have an update! As trips get c;loser plans have a sneaky way of changing, or "needing" a bit of tweaking. It could be because of all the excitement, or it could be because I felt I had so much time to do things, and now I don't?? Either way, I had my first of many mini freak outs this past weekend:goodvibes

It suddenly hit me, that we don't have a great game plan for the last day/heading home. On the way down, we will drive straight through. Why you ask?? Picture it, the year 2009, driving on I-95, John pulls over to take a pic and sight see, I then jump out of the car, fury in my eyes, say that's enough we have some place to be.... So as you can see, I wouldn't be too into seeing things when there is a mouse waiting for us![ BTW, that was my attempt at Sophia Petrillo (golden Girls) story..]
However; on the ride home, there will be nothing but my apartment and my van full of dirty laundry to come home too. This thought made me sad as sad could be. Getting home last year spun my depression out of control, and I just couldn't handle life for a bit! For those of you who stuck around and talked me through, and waited sooo patiently for my TR, thank you :lovestruc

OK, with all that said, I mentioned it to John while we were on a 2 hour drive to the shore. he felt helpless last year when I went through my depression, so he would LOVE to avoid another bout! John reminded me that he was not scheduled to go back to work until the Thursday we get home,since that is when the new pay period begins, and whats the point of having one day on a pay check? So now, instead of leaving WDW and driving straight through home, we have decided to Stop off somewhere Monday night and spend the night somewhere :cool1:

Not only will this make the drive a heck of a lot easier on our tired bodies, but it will allow for some hopeful cool sight seeing! We are not planning on doing big touristy things, but rather pull off of I-95, stop and smell the roses kinda deals! I would love to get a pic of each state sign we pass, maybe stop at the corny South of the Border, and whatever else may look cool. We could possibly drag it out and spend Tuesday night somewhere as well, but I did plan on having Kayla back in school by wed, so that is probably not going to happen, which is another reason, it won't be rel sight seeing. But hey I will take it! Not having to drive all those hours without sleep sounds great to me, and Kayla will love seeing each state, even if it is only us pulling off of 95 to snap a quick pic! I may even print out some info on each state we pass so she can write a journal of the car ride home. She can present the class with pics of each state we stopped at, and give a little info on that state :cutie:

So that is that! I am excited for the extra time! Oh, best part is, this allows for more time in DTD on departure day. originally we were just going to run to DTD and get sandwiches for the road, and hit up goofy's to use up or snack credits, but now we can actually walk around for a bit!

In other news, Kayla's play is done :( She absolutely LOVED being up on the stage, and is very much looking forward to the fall/winter plays! Jack is starting to love swimming again, as is Kayla! Every year they are both scared to death! Kayla more than Jack! But this year, they both seem to really love it! Makes life at CSR much easier! Not too much to say about John ;/ He is still happy at his job, which is:woohoo: lol! I have gotten another tattoo! I started my half-sleeve on my right arm last week. If all goes as planned, it will be half way done for the Disney trip! If any of you are tattooed, you know how long they take to heal, and really how bad the sun is on a fresh tattoo. So really, about 3 weeks or more before the trip I should stop. Either way, my arms are going to be extremely sensitive to the sun. I swear the sun feels like it is burning holes through my freshly inked skin! Hopefully everything will be healed as expected before the trip so I can sun block up and up and up and up! Lots of block on those bad boys!

i think that is all for now! I will now leave you wit these awesome pics :)

Kayla as an enchanted flower

Then I found one of those cute collapsible totes, also in lime green, also 50% off! Score again! I have been wanting one of those to carry stupid stuff in my car! The cooler is a perfect size for our disney road trip:lovestruc and perfect DIS color too! I have officially started putting things in the cooler for the Disney trip! Only 48 days left, don't wanna have to search for stuff last minute:rolleyes1

So I was at target the other day and saw that they had coolers on 50%! Score! I have been wanting to get some news ones, since ours look dingy. Well don't you know, they had them in lime green! Then I found one of those cute collapsible totes, also in lime green, also 50% off! Score again! I have been wanting one of those to carry stupid stuff in my car! The cooler is a perfect size for our disney road trip:lovestruc and perfect DIS color too! I have officially started putting things in the cooler for the Disney trip! Only 48 days left, don't wanna have to search for stuff last minute:rolleyes1

44 Days!!!!:cool1::yay::banana::cheer2:

I am beyond stoked.. I just can not believe how close this trip is getting!!

On a sad note, please keep my boss in your well wishes. She has recently found out that the baby she is pregnant with is severely deformed and severely mentally retarded. She will be having the A word this coming week. Reason being, the baby may not even make it to birth, let alone survive afterwards:sad1: I am especially sad, since the baby is a girl, like i knew :( This whole situation sucks, and the coming weeks are going to be especially rough.

I am so grateful that I have Disney to look forward to!

Aww, my condolences to your boss - so difficult! :hug: My best friend suffered through something similar this year, unfortunately. She was pregnant with a sweet little angel with Trisomy 15 (I think that's what it's called) - a tragic diagnosis (life expectancy is less than 1 year, severe mental and physical defects, etc.). It was sooooo hard, but she and her fiance had to think of the daughter they already have and make that extremely difficult decision :sad1:

I'm glad you have Disney to look forward to as well! Having something positive to focus on is a big help with coping :hug:

Uhm, how do you make the guy dancing so big?? I can never get my emoticon's to be big!!

Also, that is exactly what my bosses child has, Trisomy 18. As your friend knows, most times the child doesn't even make it to birth :( it is a terrible diagnosis. My boss will be 41 this September and that may have a lot to do with it. I am hoping that this doesn't mean if they try again it is something they will need to be very worried about. I think the chances of having another child with the same diagnosis is rare. Of course it is is not impossible. Thanks for the talk <3

I didn't do anything with it, that's just how that particular smiley (my favourite one on the DISboards!!!) shows up :goodvibes

The age is interesting, as my best friend is 41 also. The odds of a repeat tragedy are much higher for her and your boss than the general population, unfortunately. When it happened to my best friend, she and I both researched it; and when we found that information, it really put her off trying again for fear of a repeat :sad1: I can't blame her, it was really hard for me to try again after losing twins to a partial molar pregnancy (happened when Tigger was about 1.5yo) - I worried so much during my pregnancy with Mickey. Thankfully, he's as perfect as Tigger :love:

I hope your boss is able to safely carry another pregnancy, if that is what she chooses to do - many prayers sent!

Hmm.. my bosses hubs read that the chances aren't as high for it to happen again, since it has happened once. BUt, yes because of her age it is a much higher chance than someone 5-10 years younger. It is AMAZING how the numbers drop. You go at 25 to a 1 in gabillion chance (not literally) of a problem to at age of 41 to a 1 in like 800 chance. So scary :(

She met with the genetic counselor yesterday, so I am hoping they had something hopeful to say to her ;/

It is a hard decision to make , but working in the field I know how much care and responsibilty that can be and yes it would take it's toll on the whole family!! But their are rewards , special ones are just that !!!They have the ability to bring such JOY!!!This is definately a decision only those directly involved can make and others should not judge !! I know I don't !! Prayers to your boss !!
