How Much Did I Pay For This Self Inflicted Fun? A Wigdout trip report.

[wigdoutdismom]

Just because I've been asked so nicely...
I'll get this thread started!
Thanks Dawn for the title!
It was very hard to choose!

I do think this thought danced through my mind more than any others!

It wasn't all bad.
In fact we had some very good times.
How could you not when you take a darling baby for the first time?:cloud9:


I also have a contest!
That means prizes!
Stay tuned for details.....


I wish I had counted how many times I reminded myself ....
I'm in Disney.
I love it here.
It's beautiful.
Most of the group are having the time of their lives.....:cutie:

[wsushocker]

Do you REALLY want to know how much we paid?

[Lady Lallie]

Am I first!?!

Shocker doesn't count!

EDIT: Well, he counts but since he lives with you he has an unfair advantage. Hehehe.

[Dizneydawn]

Second! I agree...you and Shocker are a couple. A Pair. A simpatico unit if you will.

So I am second. And that means I get time to duck if things are thrown.

Sorry lallie - you're screwed!

[shannon47142]

I'm also here--preparing to laugh and maybe even shed at tear while you guys report on your latest journey!:happytv:

[shannn]

I'm here. I'm here. Thanks for coming looking for me, Anita.

Unfortunately, I pinched a nerve in my back so I have been laying flat since Christmas. We went to SC to see my family and I was close to crying to whole time because it hurt so badly. I'll try to sit here, but I'm not sure how long I'll make it! (cross posted from my thread to explain it here too)

I can't wait to read more and so glad you started your report!!!! It makes me happy that this is one report I'm hopelessly behind on ;)

[Mndisneygirl]

SO true about the title!! I love it and it sounds like something I would say!

Jen - you're right. I wish someone would have helped me with my title! DH actually came up with it. (credit where credit is due) I struggled for days before I started the TR b/c I couldn't come up with a title! HA!

[kschafer]

Page 3??????? :scared1: I find this 8 hours late and I am banished to page 3?????

No matter, I can't wait to read all about the drama!

[jillyb]

Welcome home! Can't wait to hear about this trip!

I am not even going to comment on how disgruntled I am that I am on page three.

Not doing it.

I am super excited to be along for the recap of the drama and the good times.

[Wannabinnc]

This sure was quick!! Can't wait to hear and see all the happenings that took place in magic land. Love the title, she is a smarty for sure!!! Welcome home gang.

[wigdoutdismom]

Shocker doesn't count!

EDIT: Well, he counts but since he lives with you he has an unfair advantage. Hehehe.
You are right, as much as he does count he doesn't count on here.....:rotfl: You must have been working really hard today, or did you just happen to see this by chance?;)
Welcome just the same!
Second! I agree...you and Shocker are a couple. A Pair. A simpatico unit if you will.

So I am second. And that means I get time to duck if things are thrown.

Sorry lallie - you're screwed!
Good point Dawn, sorry Leslie, better duck fast!
I'm so glad you are here and in good position. I'll need your help telling this story!
I'm also here--preparing to laugh and maybe even shed at tear while you guys report on your latest journey!:happytv:

Be ready for some ups and downs! Glad you are here, Welcome!

Hi Hallie, Thanks for joining in! I've missed you in chat the last couple of times I was there!
Love the title! :lmao: I sure hope you had more fun than drama. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!
There was more fun than drama, but you know, it's the drama that sells the trip report!:laughing:
the suspense is killing me! well at least I made 2nd page...
The suspense is killing me too, I didn't keep a trip journal....
Oh but I guess I was there.:lmao:

Hi Shannon, Please get better soon. I don't like my friends to be in pain. You should be enjoying your time out of school!
Page 2 - not 2 terrible! Thanks for the notification!!!! :woohoo::dance3::woohoo:
Hi Mary Ellen! Page 2, not bad at all. I wonder how long I'll be able to drag this thing out? Maybe until May?
I am here to join in on the fun and post holiday cheer!!!! I know my boys enjoyed hanging out with Baylor! :) Can't wait to read all about the bits and pieces you were sharing with me last week!!!! :laughing: popcorn:: Can't wait to read! NOW I guess I best get my behind in gear!! Off to PhotoBucket!!
Jennifer, we had such fun hanging out with your family! Your boys are just as cute in person, and so are you and Matt!
I need to check and see if you started your TR while I was posting!

[wigdoutdismom]

WOOT! I'm in and I love this title...Dawn will you name my next TR pretty please LOL!!!!

Okay I made page 2 and in my world that is a SUCCESS with a capital S...that's right!!!!!! WOOT!!!!!

EDIT...Curses the dreaded me always making it to the top of the next page curse struck again!! Oh well page 3 is pretty good for a Widg report I'll take it LOL!!
You sure have a knack of making top of the page!
How DO you do that?
Must be a gift.
Dawn is certainly gifted in the trip report naming department....
Another gift.
Soap Opera, we need to sell one to a network, how about, "One Life to DIS"?
:cool1: I'm in!!!! I hope you guys had a great trip!!!!

I can't wait to read more and so glad you started your report!!!! It makes me happy that this is one report I'm hopelessly behind on ;)
Actually you aren't behind, I haven't even really started! Just wait a week or two, then you can be hopelessly behind!:laughing:
SO true about the title!! I love it and it sounds like something I would say!

Jen - you're right. I wish someone would have helped me with my title! DH actually came up with it. (credit where credit is due) I struggled for days before I started the TR b/c I couldn't come up with a title! HA!
It's a great title, just wish I had thought of it....
oh well,
Dawn is gifted you know.;)
Page 3??????? :scared1: I find this 8 hours late and I am banished to page 3?????

No matter, I can't wait to read all about the drama!
No worries Katie, you are here on the ground floor!
Welcome home! Can't wait to hear about this trip!
Hellooooo Jill! Thanks I'm glad you are here and this story needs to be told! Maybe it will exercise some of my demons!
I am not even going to comment on how disgruntled I am that I am on page three.

Not doing it.

I am super excited to be along for the recap of the drama and the good times.
At least one of us has a well organized Christmas closet,
And it wouldn't be me.
I thought I was going to have to call you!
This sure was quick!! Can't wait to hear and see all the happenings that took place in magic land. Love the title, she is a smarty for sure!!! Welcome home gang.
Hi Pammy! You aren't going to believe the drama on this trip....
On the other hand, you might.:eek:
Joining the fun, and pixie dust.
Thanks for joining us! We tend to have some fun on these threads!
I'm in too!!:yay:Cannot wait to hear all about it.
Yay! So glad you are here! Getting started for real tomorrow!
Im here!!!
Welcome! I hope you are ready for some crazy stories, conversations, and well some playing around!

[kcandbella]

I'm intrigued! Joining in!!! :goodvibes

[MegansMom]

You are so right about our sweet Megans!!!! It must be the name! ;)

[eandesmom]

love the title!

[gellybean]

I'm in!!!!

Sounds a bit ominous though... is this gonna be one of those trip reports where I read and I thank my lucky stars I have two BOYS?!


:rotfl:

[wigdoutdismom]

I'm intrigued! Joining in!!! :goodvibes
Welcome! I'm glad you joined us!
You are so right about our sweet Megans!!!! It must be the name! ;)
I guess so, the funny thing is that I know another Keeley and she is so much like my Keeley only a lot younger. I watched her stomp herself across the school parking lot with her mother the other day.:laughing:
love the title!
I have Dawn to thank for that, we met up with them a few times while we were on the trip so she felt my pain!
I'm in!!!!

Sounds a bit ominous though... is this gonna be one of those trip reports where I read and I thank my lucky stars I have two BOYS?!


:rotfl:

So funny, I was on your thread while you were on mine...
You will be so glad that you have boys when you get finished reading this!

[jewjubean]

I have a couple of pictures so I'll wait till you post your's and add mine:D

[Dizneydawn]

WOOT! I'm in and I love this title...Dawn will you name my next TR pretty please LOL!!!!



The answer is yes I will help name TR's. I actually have came up with many names in our family, almost all Wedding Songs used in Family weddings etc. so it is just the creative side of me I guess. Fifures the talent God gave me I can make no money at.

Or Can I?

How much is a TR title worth? :rolleyes1

Bwahhhhhhh!



Do not ask me to draw or sing though.

In Pictionary, if you get an amobea - it is the United States and 6th grade church choir they asked me to play the bells which is a nice way of telling you that God doesn't want to hear you either!

I can't wait for the first installment Anita! Mine is sone but I need to find teh camera to add a few pics . Should be today! :cool1:

[Lady Lallie]

One Life to DIS. :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

I saw it in your signature...that's how I got over here so fast. Yesterday was an awful day at work, so your TR cheered me up a bit.

[stace208]

Hi Anita,
I have been away from the DIS WAAAAY too long (darn life got in the way-crazy at school this year :scared1:) but I have managed to catch up on all your PTR happenings over break and am ready to hear all about your trip!! :goodvibes

[wigdoutdismom]

I have a couple of pictures so I'll wait till you post your's and add mine:D
Awwww Julia, always the good girl!

Oh darn I was just going to ask you to draw me a picture of the castle while singing It's a Small World....
I'll tell you this, if you are having trip report title block and you are needing to get started it's priceless indeed!
Glad you hadn't gone all Hollywood when you named mine.:love:
One Life to DIS. :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

I saw it in your signature...that's how I got over here so fast. Yesterday was an awful day at work, so your TR cheered me up a bit.
Occasionally I come up with a "witty" too! Just the other day we were eating at one of our favorite burger joints here and when we walked out we saw a vehicle that looked like our neighbors.
Baylor said "that's funny I didn't see the Bells (their last name is Bell) in there."
I replied, "it must have been the invisi-Bells....." ba da bum......:laughing:

I know, funny huh?
So what was so bad about your day?

Hi there! So glad you are back.
Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of the DIS?
How does next semester look for you? Is it going to get crazy again?

[H20DogsNDisney]

Hi Hallie, Thanks for joining in! I've missed you in chat the last couple of times I was there!

I haven't been in chat for few days!:scared1: i miss the chat work got in the way oh well hopefully thursday Friday i will be in. I am so happy your are home how was your xmas. I am trying to start planning for 2011 trip. although i keep push to try for 2010!

[Charleston Princess]

At least one of us has a well organized Christmas closet,
And it wouldn't be me.
I thought I was going to have to call you!

It does look pretty nice -- I keep going into it just to admire its neatness. Yes, I have a sickness when it comes to organizing. :lmao:

Just a tough day. Stressed to the max about stupid stuff and stupid people. :rolleyes1

I'll try to get in Friday, Thursday being New Years Eve we will either be at a party or watching Harper. Not much DIS time with miss busy pants here.:laughing:
Good luck on your trip planning!
It does look pretty nice -- I keep going into it just to admire its neatness. Yes, I have a sickness when it comes to organizing. :lmao:
I need to set the timer and work in one area of the house today.... that's my limit though!
We are taking Baylor and a friend to see "The Blind Side" today.
I need to take pictures of the souvies that made it home with us.
Yes, we shipped 3 boxes home.....:rolleyes1
I totally snort laughed at the Invisi-bells comment. :rotfl2: I'm pathetic. :lmao:
Marc thought it was pretty funny too! I think I must have still had some pixie dust on my clothes since it was the day we got back.....

Just a tough day. Stressed to the max about stupid stuff and stupid people. :rolleyes1
I hope today is better....:hug:

[Lady Lallie]

You are going to LOVE The Blind Side. It's a great movie!! :thumbsup2

[SoonerGirl]

It does look pretty nice -- I keep going into it just to admire its neatness. Yes, I have a sickness when it comes to organizing. :lmao:

:lmao: You aren't alone! I recently cleaned out our entry closet, it has deep storage shelves behind all the coats and was just crammed full of stuff. Now it's nice, neat and organized - I open the door just look at it every now and then.......it makes me smile, so I guess I have a sickness too :thumbsup2

[PracPerfPatricia]

I love your title and I don't even mind that I'm on page 4...:goodvibes

My PTR had been closed accidently :eek: and now it's been reopened and I feel like Scrooge after he had been visited by the three ghosts...and realized he hadn't missed Christmas after all...:yay:...:lmao:

i can't wait to hear all about your Disney Christmas...:cool1:

popcorn:::santa:popcorn:::santa:popcorn:::santa:

[wigdoutdismom]

:rainbow:Contest Time! :rainbow:

Here are the details.
If you have stayed at Kidani you will understand perfectly if you haven't listen carefully.....:listen:

This resort goes on and on.....
Kind of like that energizer bunny.

You can park underneath, that is if you have a car....:drive::moped::car:

Which is why I really wanted a villa near the elevator.:worship:

Did we get it?:confused3

Oh no, that's not the contest.

Are you ready?:3dglasses

How many steps did it take Wigd to get from the main elevator to the villa?:teleport::tiptoe:

The guess closest but not going over wins the grand prize!:wizard:

Yes, I have a 2nd place prize too!

Hmmmm, so first you must decide was it close or far......
I know, not fair!
We'll let this contest go until MeMom and Jill come back just in case they want in on the fun. So the winners will be announced January 6th or there abouts.....:laughing:

[wigdoutdismom]

THREE BOXES!!! Oh, I cannot wait to see all the souvies you bought!!!
I can't wait to share it all!
You are going to LOVE The Blind Side. It's a great movie!! :thumbsup2
I'm really excited to see that movie! I have not heard one bad thing about it!
:lmao: You aren't alone! I recently cleaned out our entry closet, it has deep storage shelves behind all the coats and was just crammed full of stuff. Now it's nice, neat and organized - I open the door just look at it every now and then.......it makes me smile, so I guess I have a sickness too :thumbsup2
I love seeing it once it's cleaned too, it just takes me a while to get motivated to get the chore done!:rotfl:

I have been wondering about you! I'm glad you are back in business! Did you have a wonderful Christmas?
Mine was something else.....:rolleyes1

[cmskok]

Wow! I go out for a family back and come back to find that in 22 hours you are on page 5! Oh the horror!!!:scared1:

I have a friend with a Kealey and she is the drama queen of their family too---warning to all of you expectant parents out there!

Oh, I am so anxious to see what the drama was all about...we have done family drama at Disney and it is SO NOT FUN when someone is attempting to ruin the magic...:sad2:

Oh and my guess for the steps???? 22

[starling]

Fun!

[MegansMom]

My guess is 24!

[Mndisneygirl]

Jeez, do you guys stay up all night???
CP - you have a closet just for Christmas stuff? I'm impressed. I'd need a room (at my house it's crawl space storage!)

contest - hmmm.... everyone is guessing so low. I'm going to say129

I hope you had some good family time while we were here DISing! What is it about that name? I wonder if the name Jocelyn would have made a difference?
The family drama was not fun, she is still not speaking to me. Her birthday was yesterday....
I'm starting the list of guesses!

Oh are you photo passing with us?
Fun!
Welcome! Thanks for coming along!
My guess is 24!

Got it! Thanks for playing!

[wigdoutdismom]

Jeez, do you guys stay up all night???
CP - you have a closet just for Christmas stuff? I'm impressed. I'd need a room (at my house it's crawl space storage!)

contest - hmmm.... everyone is guessing so low. I'm going to say129

We were up really late....
The new dog was having none of his crate, wouldn't lay down with us, Baylor wasn't here to try his bed and just wanted to sleep on the floor of the living room....
I still love him though!:love:
We have a large storage room in the basement with lots of shelves. I'm very thankful for it!
I've got you down for 129!

[cmskok]

I will photopass!!! Thanks for including me!

[Mndisneygirl]

Oh, that reminds me I need to order my PP CD!! Thanks!

[wsushocker]

:rainbow:Contest Time! :rainbow:

Here are the details.
If you have stayed at Kidani you will understand perfectly if you haven't listen carefully.....:listen:

This resort goes on and on.....
Kind of like that energizer bunny.

You can park underneath, that is if you have a car....:drive::moped::car:

Which is why I really wanted a villa near the elevator.:worship:

Did we get it?:confused3

Oh no, that's not the contest.

Are you ready?:3dglasses

How many steps did it take Wigd to get from the main elevator to the villa?:teleport::tiptoe:

The guess closest but not going over wins the grand prize!:wizard:

Yes, I have a 2nd place prize too!

Hmmmm, so first you must decide was it close or far......
I know, not fair!
We'll let this contest go until MeMom and Jill come back just in case they want in on the fun. So the winners will be announced January 6th or there abouts.....:laughing:

I know how far it was....:lmao::cool1::rotfl2::rotfl::dance3:

http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt335/wsushocker/pedometer.jpg

just kidding

[wigdoutdismom]

You are most unfunny....

[wsushocker]

We were up really late....
The new dog was having none of his crate, wouldn't lay down with us, Baylor wasn't here to try his bed and just wanted to sleep on the floor of the living room....
I still love him though!:love:


This dog/pony has 4 nights to get his act together......

[2xcited2sleep]

I'm going to say 156 steps. I know I've had a room at Beach Club that was at LEAST that many from the main elevator (not that I was ever clever enough to count but you know what I mean!). Love the contest!! :)

[nowellsl]

I've been lurking since coming over here from Memom's report :). I'm gonna guess 25 steps.

[manntra]

Hmmmmm :scratchin I am channeling my inner math diva :laughing: and thinking about where I stayed... but I didn't use the elevator...;) I will guess 96 and that is not scientific. :laughing:

Tracy

[vamassey1]

I want to play! My guess is 112.

[stace208]

Hi there! So glad you are back.
Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of the DIS?
How does next semester look for you? Is it going to get crazy again?[/QUOTE]


I did hate it when I couldn't get on the DIS! I think I will be better when we get back from break. At the start of the year I had 25 2nd graders with 14 IEP's (special ed), including one full time autistic child. Suffice to say that my principal had to move some kids...then one of the teacher assts. assigned to my room got arrested and charged with child molestation:scared1: What a nightmare! Combine all of that with 2 new programs implemented by my division, regular classroom paperwork and preparation, and oh ya, that's right, I do have two kids of my own who need mom! I just ran out of time (and brain cells) and the DIS is something that got left behind.

[stace208]

I hope you enjoy The Blind Side. Best movie I have seen in years!

My guess of steps is 12...

[SoonerGirl]

Hmmmmm, I'm thinking if it were alot of steps you wouldn't have counted them so I'm going to stay on the low side and say......18

[wannago2disney]

Have to agree with SoonerGirl. I think I will say 15!

[Lady Lallie]

93!

Has anyone taken that number yet?

Drama Queen still isn't talking to you!?! That's ridiculous! :scared1:

[Happy Elf]

I lurked on your PTR but I'm going to join the fun! I can't wait to hear about the drama. I have a feeling I will be staring into my future as my 4 year old is already a drama queen.

As far as the contest goes, I'm going to guess 78 steps.

[kcandbella]

101? A Disney related guess! :lmao:

[Dizneydawn]

Ohhhhhh I wannna guess too mama! :cool1:

I have no clue and have never been to Kidani.

I will guess 217. Everyone else is guessing low so I will throw it in space.

Wait....I reserve the right to second guess my guess based on a question.

Whose steps?

You are way shorter :yoda: than Mark.:chewy: So it may make a difference.

There is logistics that go into guessing ya know. ;)

Dan also has a guess and will post in a bit. He wants to know if the person counting steps was behind Keeley so that said person was perhaps taking shorter steps as they were faux tukkus kicking her from behind.

If I were behind Carsyn for example and pretending to kick her tukkus as I walked, my stride would be different than a normal gait.

Also, was the official steps counter carrying bags? This might mean a person would lean to one side :wave: and again, alter the gait that they normally would have.

How bout a sense if the person was full or not. :drinking1:mickeybar If said counter had just rolled out of Boma's and had increased their portly capacity another 3-4 lbs or so, it could easily counter their pace. popcorn:: Esp. if the beans they serve had time to seek havoc on the gut. :sick:

I mean you are talking quite a bit of latitude between the holding jeans walk :tiptoe: because you had to unbutton them because you stuffed yourself (not that I would know this :rolleyes1) which is slow and purposeful. Then You have the "OMG I need a lavatory pronto" canter :dancer: before your TR is called "The GREAT BEAN Debacle of 2009" and you are trucking those tootsies in rapid succession, practicing your lamaze breathing even if you have never been pregnant or are a man.

So there are a few questions to help us who are just in it for fun and not competitive at all. :cool2:

[SoonerGirl]

I started my TR Anita - Hope you'll come read along! Link is in my siggie :)

[kbheap]

I always lurk. But I love reading your TR's so I am in to post this time. Can't wait to read more.

[Native NYer]

Hmmm I'm going to guess 100 steps.

[jewjubean]

Hmmm I cant guess :) But it sure is fun reading all the reply's!!

[Charleston Princess]

:lmao: You aren't alone! I recently cleaned out our entry closet, it has deep storage shelves behind all the coats and was just crammed full of stuff. Now it's nice, neat and organized - I open the door just look at it every now and then.......it makes me smile, so I guess I have a sickness too :thumbsup2

I am so glad that there are others like me out there! :lmao:


CP - you have a closet just for Christmas stuff? I'm impressed. I'd need a room (at my house it's crawl space storage!)

It's for all the different holiday decorations I have amassed over the years -- it's in the fourth bedroom which is the kids' playroom -- I figured they could have the room, but I was taking the closet.

Wigd, I am going to guess 200 steps because that is how many days it is until our next trip to Disney. :laughing:

[jenjolt]

Hmmmm...I'm going to guess 195 steps!!!!

[Happydog]

THREE BOXES!!! Oh, I cannot wait to see all the souvies you bought!!!

She was texting me the whole while telling me about all the great deals!!! :lmao:

[Happydog]

I am so glad that there are others like me out there! :lmao:

Wigd, I am going to guess 200 steps because that is how many days it is until our next trip to Disney. :laughing:

Okay CP I gotta Christmas Closet too! Mine is a walk in under the stairs in my basement, it is starting to get too small, though, so now I have all my "faux" greenery in a big tree bag in our storage room! Did you take a picture in your TR? I gotta go see! ;)

WIGD I am guessing it was a long walk. Kidani is very spread out... we walked some of it accidently last June.. so I say 174 steps....

[Disneymoon09]

we were only at Kidani long enough to have lunch at Sanna, but It was a huge resort, so I'm going to guess 156 steps!

[MEK]

I stayed at Kidani and something tells me that Shocker really isn't kidding. :rolleyes1

Of course, since I have stayed at Kidani, with a car, I have to ask a clarification question. When you say the "main" elevator, do you mean the elevator in the lobby OR the closest elevator from the underground parking to your villa??? In my case, there was a HUGE difference. We were very close to the Timon 4 elevator, not so close to the elevators in the lobby and extremely far away when we ended up parking on the OTHER side of the lobby one night. That was probably......never mind, I'm not even going to guess how many steps that was!

Perhaps I am pumping for too much information, but you can't blame a girl for trying from there are prizes involved.

[stitchaholic]

124 steps is my guess.

[wsushocker]

I always lurk. But I love reading your TR's so I am in to post this time. Can't wait to read more.

Is this one of those things where.... it's the closest without going over?!


Cus if it is, I want 1.


1 measley step.



:lmao:


If it's not, I'll take 120.

[cjackearl]

I can't get past the 3 BOXES of souvenires!! Do we get to see them all, huh? Huh?:yay:

As far as the contest, hmmmm..., I'm going to think positively. You got your request and had only 15 steps to go between elevator and villa.

[Mr. I Won't Rent Car]

You can park underneath, that is if you have a car....:drive::moped::car:


Why would you need a car at Disneyworld? :confused3

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

Hello there! I've finally caught up! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures! I'm guessing 13 since that may have been a sign of things to come for you!:lmao:

[wigdoutdismom]

This dog/pony has 4 nights to get his act together......
He was great the first night, then last night he was a little rotten. I'm sure he will be an angel when it's time for bed tonight...:littleangel:
I'm going to say 156 steps. I know I've had a room at Beach Club that was at LEAST that many from the main elevator (not that I was ever clever enough to count but you know what I mean!). Love the contest!! :)
We've walked a bit throught the Beach Club maze too! I have your entry down!
I've been lurking since coming over here from Memom's report :). I'm gonna guess 25 steps.
I've seen you over on MeMom's thread, isn't she wonderful? Thanks for coming out of lurkdom! I'm happy to have you and will record your 25 step guess!
Hmmmmm :scratchin I am channeling my inner math diva :laughing: and thinking about where I stayed... but I didn't use the elevator...;) I will guess 96 and that is not scientific. :laughing:

Gotcha down for 96 Tracy!

I started the year out with 20 2nd graders. Just a couple with speech IEPs, one gifted, and one behavior. I do have a good mix of high, medium and low kids. Honestly it's a great class!
How on earth did you get your group, did you make someone mad?:eek:
I can't imagine what you went through with the T.A. being arrested, and the new programs. I do know how the paperwork can bog you down though...
I hope you enjoy The Blind Side. Best movie I have seen in years!

My guess of steps is 12...
We did enjoy the movie!
I've got you down for 12!
Hmmmmm, I'm thinking if it were alot of steps you wouldn't have counted them so I'm going to stay on the low side and say......18
So are you saying that I can't count?:laughing:
OK, Michelle, I've got you down for 18.
Have to agree with SoonerGirl. I think I will say 15!
Really I can count past 20, really I can.....:rotfl:
I have your entry down, 15 steps!
93!

Has anyone taken that number yet?

Drama Queen still isn't talking to you!?! That's ridiculous!
93 is yours and I have it recorded!
Yep, not a word, hence no birthday gift from her mama yet.
I lurked on your PTR but I'm going to join the fun! I can't wait to hear about the drama. I have a feeling I will be staring into my future as my 4 year old is already a drama queen.

Just be prepared for teenage stuff, although I've seen some pretty good 4 year old fits too!:lmao: Sorry to laugh, but when I see other people's kids having meltdowns it makes me feel just a little more normal!:goodvibes
I've got you down for 78!

101? A Disney related guess!
Love your way of thinking, I very cute guess for sure! 101 goes to you!
Ohhhhhh I wannna guess too mama!
Guess away dear!

I have no clue and have never been to Kidani.

I will guess 217. Everyone else is guessing low so I will throw it in space.

Wait....I reserve the right to second guess my guess based on a question.

Whose steps?
Mine

If I were behind Carsyn for example and pretending to kick her tukkus as I walked, my stride would be different than a normal gait.
He and I were walking together, just us, no tuckus kicking or even pretend kicking at the time...:lmao:

Also, was the official steps counter carrying bags? This might mean a person would lean to one side and again, alter the gait that they normally would have.
Not sure about the bags but probably yes due to the amount of shopping done on this trip.:cutie:

How bout a sense if the person was full or not. :drinking1:mickeybar If said counter had just rolled out of Boma's and had increased their portly capacity another 3-4 lbs or so, it could easily counter their pace. popcorn:: Esp. if the beans they serve had time to seek havoc on the gut. :sick:
Don't think I ate any beans, but there was a good chance we had been eating, we did a bunch of that on this trip!

I mean you are talking quite a bit of latitude between the holding jeans walk :tiptoe: because you had to unbutton them because you stuffed yourself (not that I would know this :rolleyes1) which is slow and purposeful.

Most days I wore fleece or sweats, no binding waist band to deal with.....

So there are a few questions to help us who are just in it for fun and not competitive at all. :cool2:
IF the kids had come over to play you would have had a real advantage..... maybe that's a good thing though, I would have hated to have disqualified you.:upsidedow

I started my TR Anita - Hope you'll come read along! Link is in my siggie :)
I hopped over there speedy quick!
I always lurk. But I love reading your TR's so I am in to post this time. Can't wait to read more.
Thanks for not lurking this time!
I think you forgot to enter the contest!
Hmmm I'm going to guess 100 steps.
I've got you down for a nice even 100 Jennifer!
Hmmm I cant guess :) But it sure is fun reading all the reply's!!
Did I tell you?
Oh man.....

[wannago2disney]

Wow....Dawn you are like the forensic Disney reconstruction scientist:worship: I never would have thought to consider any of those things...perhaps before you settle on a for sure # of steps, you should inquire about the coefficient of friction as it pertains to the velocity of their gait and the floor surface vs the material of their footwear. ok, I have no idea what that means but I was watching the science channel today and I wanted to be smart like you too!:rotfl:

20 is a nice number. I had 22 last year. That extra 4-6 really makes a BIG difference though you wouldn't think that is the case. I got my group by accident. My principal intended for me to have the gifted cluster class but somewhere in all the stuff he labeled the wrong folder. By the time he became aware the computer was loaded and we'd already started labeling stuff. Honestly, despite the extra work for some of my kids, my class overall is better behaved and sweeter so I am glad it ended up the way it did.
What kind of dog is the new pup you got?

[wigdoutdismom]

quote]I am so glad that there are others like me out there! :lmao:
I set my timer today and worked in the kitchen for an hour, well I ventured into the living room as well.....
Tomorrow, I hope to conquer the bedroom.....




It's for all the different holiday decorations I have amassed over the years -- it's in the fourth bedroom which is the kids' playroom -- I figured they could have the room, but I was taking the closet.
So were the kids in there playing while you were working?

Wigd, I am going to guess 200 steps because that is how many days it is until our next trip to Disney. :laughing:[/quote]
Great logic on that guess, it makes perfect sense to me! I've got you down for 200 steps.
Hmmmm...I'm going to guess 195 steps!!!!
Getting Jackie all boxed in are you? I've got your 195 in my book!
She was texting me the whole while telling me about all the great deals!!! :lmao:
Blue light special on aisle 8!
Okay CP I gotta Christmas Closet too! Mine is a walk in under the stairs in my basement, it is starting to get too small, though, so now I have all my "faux" greenery in a big tree bag in our storage room! Did you take a picture in your TR? I gotta go see! ;)
I have one of those under the stairs closets in the basement. Mine is full of clothes that need to be donated to goodwill!

WIGD I am guessing it was a long walk. Kidani is very spread out... we walked some of it accidently last June.. so I say 174 steps....
I've got you down for 174 steps. Did you make a wrong turn last June?
we were only at Kidani long enough to have lunch at Sanna, but It was a huge resort, so I'm going to guess 156 steps!
It is a big resort! I'll second that! I'll also record your entry as 156 steps!

Perhaps I am pumping for too much information, but you can't blame a girl for trying from there are prizes involved.
I do mean the elevator just off of the lobby. NOT any elevator associated with a parking garage since I'm married to MrIwontrentacar!
124 steps is my guess.
I've got you recorded as 124!

As far as the contest, hmmmm..., I'm going to think positively. You got your request and had only 15 steps to go between elevator and villa.
Houston we have a problem with your guess.
15 is taken as well as 12, 13,16 and 18. You can take 14 though, just let me know!

Why would you need a car at Disneyworld? :confused3
Maybe because I'd like to see how much time we could save not being held captive by Disney transportation.... :rolleyes1
Hello there! I've finally caught up! Can't wait to hear all about your adventures! I'm guessing 13 since that may have been a sign of things to come for you!:lmao:

Wow, I'm impressed by the both of you!
Actually that fact that you were watching the science channel is mind boggling!

What kind of dog is the new pup you got?
The new dog is a Goldendoodle. Golden Retriever and Standard Poodle. He's 3 years old and really big! He doesn't like to walk on wood floors and most of our house has wood floors so he is not wandering the house. He is however adorable and so sweet natured.

My class at present is down to 18, I had a couple of kids move....
Why is it that the good ones are always the kids that move?

[disneyfan61]

THREE boxes of souvies?? Cannot wait to see them!! Hopefully I will come home with a lot from our next trip since I just got the $750.00 gift card added to our ressie. I guess I will be happy that I have 2 BOYS also after reading this TR too huh??

My guess for the # of steps is 37. Hopefully that is not taken. I could not keep track after reading all the posts!!

[luckylady]

Holy cow Charlie Brown! You just started this could be yesterday and already on pg. 8. All I have to do now is sit back for the trip to be written so I can eat my popcorn before the cat gets it. My guess is 17 steps.

[reelmom]

16 steps

[shannn]

Hmmmm....I have a question, but I can't ask it without giving away your story, so I'll just assume the answer.

My guess is 42. (since it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.)

[Wannabinnc]

My, my, I can't begin to think of how many steps that would be!!! My guess is gone, so I will settle for 198. Waiting for the meat of this report to start, very anxious.

[kamikazecat]

I am going to guess 63. No logic...just a guess :goodvibes

[Disneymoon09]

I just realized my guess was a duplicate! If i am allowed, I would like to change it to 122 (unless I am stealing someone elses guess, again!). :)

[SoonerGirl]

So are you saying that I can't count?:laughing:
OK, Michelle, I've got you down for 18.

:lmao: Not at all! I'm just thinking of myself and my inability to be patient enough to count a ton of steps. Then again, you are a teacher (God bless you!) and therefore MUST have much more patience than I....Oh no, I'm second guessing my guess..... :headache:

$750 gift card? Now that's some serious shopping loot!
I think 2 boys sound like so much fun! My boys have never given me nearly as much drama as the girls....
I have you down for 37 steps!
Holy cow Charlie Brown! You just started this could be yesterday and already on pg. 8. All I have to do now is sit back for the trip to be written so I can eat my popcorn before the cat gets it. My guess is 17 steps.
Some times the thread just spins out of control and over the last day it's been going like crazy!
I've got you down for 17 steps.
So I assume your car is a fan of popcorn? Buttered or not?
16 steps
Got it! The number 16 is yours! I'm starting to feel like a bookie!:laughing:
Hmmmm....I have a question, but I can't ask it without giving away your story, so I'll just assume the answer.

pm me!
I've got you down for 42!

You are in the book for 198!

I just saw that and have switched you to 122! Thanks for bringing the double to my attention...
:lmao: Not at all! I'm just thinking of myself and my inability to be patient enough to count a ton of steps. Then again, you are a teacher (God bless you!) and therefore MUST have much more patience than I....Oh no, I'm second guessing my guess..... :headache:
Well I do have patience for some things....
You are welcome to change your guess anytime until the contest is over!

[wigdoutdismom]

205

Got it Hallie! 205 for you.

[MegansMom]

Some of these guesses are just DOWN RIGHT SCARY!!!!!!!

[Native NYer]

I don't know if it's the Grey Goose or my lack of sleep, but it took me awhile to read and follow everything :lmao:

Is it wrong that I'm sad that vacation is almost over? I like my class, but I'm not interested in seeing them on Monday :rotfl:

[wsushocker]

Waiting for the meat of this report to start, very anxious.

I saw 3 of my kids yesterday and it really made my day, but I'm just not ready to go back to it all yet. Not at all!

That looks very juicy! Poor Pammy isn't eating much red meat these days though.
:rotfl2::cool1::lmao::goodvibes:rotfl::banana:
I said "some" not all...

[Native NYer]

Lemonade, ice, and chilled Grey Goose Citron in a blender = a excellent substitute :thumbsup2

[micandminforever]

I am guessing 57 steps. Have a Happy New Year.

[wigdoutdismom]

Now that sounds like a plan for tomorrow nights cocktail of choice! Do you think that will count as the snack I'm supposed to bring to the party we've been invited to? ;)

Got it, you are officially in for 57 steps!
Happy New Year to you too!

[Charleston Princess]

Okay CP I gotta Christmas Closet too! Mine is a walk in under the stairs in my basement, it is starting to get too small, though, so now I have all my "faux" greenery in a big tree bag in our storage room! Did you take a picture in your TR? I gotta go see! ;)

No picture, but I may have to take one to flesh out the PTR eventually. :laughing:

So, did you bring home three boxes of souvenirs as well??? ;)

I set my timer today and worked in the kitchen for an hour, well I ventured into the living room as well.....
Tomorrow, I hope to conquer the bedroom.....

I am done with the whole cleaning/organizing for the rest of the vacation. I cleaned the house this morning, then made chocolate chip cookies and called it good. I am bound and determined to have lazy days for the next four.

So were the kids in there playing while you were working?

Heavens, no. They have the unique ability to disappear into the woodwork when there is cleaning happening. :rolleyes:


Is it wrong that I'm sad that vacation is almost over? I like my class, but I'm not interested in seeing them on Monday :rotfl:

:lmao: I feel the exact same way only Monday is a teacher workday for us, so I definitely don't feel like going back.

[Native NYer]

:lmao: I feel the exact same way only Monday is a teacher workday for us, so I definitely don't feel like going back.

We have a half day Wednesday, but meetings are scheduled all afternoon. And on Friday, the kids are off while we proctor the high school admission exam. I feel a cold coming on :rotfl2:

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh Jackie, I thought you were going to tell me that your little dearies were organizing their area while you were working away.....:lmao:

I'll have to drag myself to school on Sunday. Just to make sure I'm ready. We have late start on Monday, but that's a district breakfast over at the high school. As for me, I'd rather have McDonalds.....

About the shopping.....
In an effort to leave no stone unturned in the quest for the sold out Christmas ears, I was forced to go into all of those shops and make those purchases.
Sadly, the ears were indeed sold out everywhere I looked. Even in World Showcase. Believe me, I went in them all and loved the hunt!

[Native NYer]

Now that sounds like a plan for tomorrow nights cocktail of choice! Do you think that will count as the snack I'm supposed to bring to the party we've been invited to? ;)


Sure, frozen drinks are definitely snacks :)

Oh have fun!!! I used Minutemaid lemonade.
If you like Kir Royales, you can pick up champagne (Moet Nectar Imperial and White Star are fantastic) and chambord.

[VAisforDisneyLvrs]

I am new to your TR-followed you over from MeMom's report-I can't remember if I already posted that or not, so if I did please forgive me. I seem to be losing my mind!

My guess is 73 steps.

Also, I see from the comments that there are several teachers here-I want to ask: Do you take time off from school or do you only go to Disney during school vacations? I was a teacher-currently at home with my kids. When I ponder the idea of going back to work I worry about when I could fit in a Disney vacation....Is that normal??:laughing:

Not a chance on my two. Chelsea is pretty particular about her stuff, but Connor is hopeless. I made him clean his room Christmas Eve because I told him Santa would not be leaving anything if he peeked in his room and saw that mess. It has already reverted back to its former state. :sad2:

I admire your dedication in the quest for the ears. :laughing:

[IluvXU]

I am so far behind. I want to go with five steps (here is to hoping) let me know if it is taken.


Still not talking... she must have been down right naughtY!

[MaryAz]

Can I guess 7?

[Rozz]

Joining the contest! My guess is 9 steps.

Don't worry there are more than a few of us losing our minds over here! I don't think you have posted though.
I've got your entry of 73 steps!
Since Shocker (my dh) and I both teach, we do take our trips during school vacations. We have been able to take a short trip in the fall by combining a comp day for conferences with a couple of personal days to get us a long weekend for food and wine.
I don't blame you a bit for considering Disney trips when considering going back to teaching. I so wish we could go in the off season.
It's just not going to happen for us.
We are fortunate to be able to go as often as we do though.
Even with the busy parks, with a good plan you can do everything you want to do.
We are proof of that!

That sounds just like Baylor's room. His won't be cleaned until he wants to invite a friend for an overnight....


When I asked about them in Mouse Gears I was quite excited when the CM told me that I might want to check out the shops in the countries of WS!

What a mean parent. A trip to Disney world, over the holidays, with her family and darling niece. Paid for in a two bedroom villa overlooking an Safari.... you have got to be kidding me... what mean parents.

[brandip22]

I just happened upon your TR while doing a search for something else. But, I think I might just stay! I can't believe it hasn't even started and is already 10 pages- yikes!
I'm going to enter as guess as well- 11 steps- if that's open. If not, whatever the next lowest number that is open! OK, gotta try to find what I was looking for in the first place!

So I want to hear some comparing... likes dislikes of AKV and BC, will I get that friend? My family is already asking me where we are staying when we take my parents, and I am curious to your ideas. I secretly hope you liked AKV... although I know you love BC!

We also want my cousin to do a Disney Destination wedding.... that was part of our big push this Christmas. His girlfriend loves Disney (I have not met her yet) and they are headed there for her birthday in Jan.

Always looking for a trip to the World I guess!

I am a teacher and can only go during the summer. In my district we aren't allowed to put personal days against vacations. :sad2: I also fly in from the west coast so a long weekend isn't worth it. I do two weeks during the summer to get my fix in and then we go to Disneyland at Christmas. :lovestruc

[jordanyosh]

I didn't even know this had started!

Okay here now.

[jewjubean]

Did I tell you?
Oh man.....

Nope You didnt, BUT I might have a unfair advantage knowing how your check in went and other details of the trip.And as party of the family I am disqualified. :goodvibes

[eandesmom]

Oh my goodness. I get behind on my own PTR and you've got 5 pages just since you posted the question!

132 is my guess.....

Feel free to stop by by PTR and help me out with my AK dining dlimena!

:rotfl:

[MEK]

:rotfl2: the main elevator, huh? Are you going to post any of your savannah view pictures before January 6th, by any chance? ( Can you tell I really want to win this? )


I am going to reserve my guess until the end of the contest, but you KNOW what I am thinking!!!!!!!

[PrincessCaitlin]

I want to get in on the fun :goodvibes

I am going to say 15 and if that is taken put me down for 16 :thumbsup2

I am so excited to read your trip report I love pictures of Disney at Christmas time!

[mickeysmyboy]

Geeze! It took me like a day to get behind on your TR!!!

Hmmm, how many steps?! Well, I know one person said that if it were too many you wouldn't have counted. Which makes sense but I know some pedometer have a step counter. My gut tells me to say 101, like in Dalmations!!

I remember our walk from the lobby of Jambo House to our room back in 05! :scared1: I swear to you it felt like it was a 1/2 mile!!!

Everytime someone mentions Kidani I get a little flutter of excitement!!! 9 more days!!!!!!

[wsushocker]

what mean parents.

You are SO going to enjoy Kidani! I have only visited there, but I want to stay there some time, too! We have been to Sanaa a few times (3!) and loved the animal viewing area and the Lobby! Way cool!

But those corridors are MILES long....

WIGD -- we parked as soon as we got into the gate at Kidani Village for dinner at Sanaa -- not aware that the lobby and the restaurant were on the OTHER side :laughing: So we ended up walking inside the building vs. in the sweltering heat!

[addictedtothemouse]

I guess 113.

[stace208]

I understand your worries. I stopped teaching for a few years and we went to Disney twice in January. Now that I am back to work we have to travel during vacations and I was concerned about it. My district doesn't allow me to take personal days near vacations or more than 3 in a row so that makes off season or long weekends almost impossible. We went last June and yes, it was HOT and more crowded but surprisingly, both DH and myself commented that we had more fun! So it is definitely doable!
By the way-I see you are from Southeast Virginia....I am in Suffolk-where are you?

I am in Newport News! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away-or a bridge-tunnel! ;) I have been to WDW in January, February, and October. Surprisingly, the first October trip was the coldest! The second October trip was HOT. We are thinking of going in August this year. The heat I am not so worried about. The crowds I am. I am interested to read this TR to see how much was accomplished!

[jillyb]

My guess is 42. (since it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Douglas Adams!!!!

So long and thanks for all the fish!

[ILuvCrush]

I'm here.... I hope I'll be able to keep up!! 11(or more??) pages in 2 days??:faint:

I stayed at Kidani.... and I swear it was 2000 steps from the lobby to our room!
But! Since you are only going from the elevator... I will officially guess 36. I know our room was VERY close to an elevator... but without a car...it did us no good at all LOL!!


Paula

[cjackearl]

I'm happy with 14 steps. I should have checked before I guessed. Dooh!

[wigdoutdismom]

[So I want to hear some comparing... likes dislikes of AKV and BC, will I get that friend? My family is already asking me where we are staying when we take my parents, and I am curious to your ideas. I secretly hope you liked AKV... although I know you love BC!
I'll give you my opinion for sure!
I took pictures of the villa.
Took pictures of the savannah view.
When you go with your parents will you stay in a large unit? You know there is no counter service at Kidani, but the kitchen is great for a quick breakfast!
Will you be driving?
It can be a long haul to your room, not saying if it was for us though.....:rolleyes1
But if you've read Happydog's posts and we had a friend that stayed there (with a car) and they were down at the very end....
It's very cool there.
I'll stay there again.
I can understand why Jackie loves it so much.
But, the Beach Club is just more my style. To me, it's just prettier.
I'm fortunate that I can experience both worlds.
I know, no help at all.
Baylor did give the pool a two thumbs up though!
But he is also a Beach Club boy if given the choice....

Another thought...
Master bedroom...
Kidani wins hands down! walk out balcony, beautiful room!
Master bath....
Kidani wins hands down! It's ginormous you could fit another bed in there!
Living room, dining room and kitchen, Beach Club it's prettier but, Kidani has the walk out balcony...
We've never had the second bedroom at Beach Club but I'd imagine that Kidani would win this one too. The flat screen TV s and walk out balconies were awesome as well as the room decor. Beach Club's bedrooms are a bit dated....
But the resort beauty is to die for! The common areas are gorgeous! Storm Along Bay is unbeatable!
We also want my cousin to do a Disney Destination wedding.... that was part of our big push this Christmas. His girlfriend loves Disney (I have not met her yet) and they are headed there for her birthday in Jan.
Where are they staying?

[/Always looking for a trip to the World I guess!
Always, there would be something drastically wrong we weren't!:cutie:

I do two weeks during the summer to get my fix in and then we go to Disneyland at Christmas. :lovestruc
We can't add personal days to paid holidays either, but we can add them to our comp day for conferences. It makes for a rather quick trip though leaving on a Friday and coming home on Tuesday...that gives us half of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday in the Parks before an early morning flight home on Tuesday.
I'm so hoping to do this in October!
What grade to you teach?
I didn't even know this had started!

Okay here now.
I've been waiting for you.....

[IluvXU]

I think the bus experiences could drive our decision. I know I feared at CSR that we were far from MK, but it never seemed that long on the bus. I know AK is not much farther than CSR. The idea of walking to EPCOT or HS would really appeal to my parents and us too. Glad you liked AKV though... we could be stuck there. I pretty much rule out any other place for 2011 other than BC or AKV... although going back to the WL is tempting. I guess getting my hopes up is crazy too, but since I had such great luck at the 7 month window this time I won't ever not feel that it is worth a try.

Did you miss the CS? We would for sure eat breakfast in room. I am interested too in what Brooke had to say since she was at AKV too over the holidays.

[wigdoutdismom]

I am in Newport News! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away-or a bridge-tunnel! ;) I have been to WDW in January, February, and October. Surprisingly, the first October trip was the coldest! The second October trip was HOT. We are thinking of going in August this year. The heat I am not so worried about. The crowds I am. I am interested to read this TR to see how much was accomplished!


Oh wow, you are almost neighbors!
This is not the normal trip for us with everyone including a baby along....
There were crowds...
With the right touring plan you can get it all done!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Douglas Adams!!!!

So long and thanks for all the fish!
I need to know more about this man...
Is he the Oprah guy?

[IluvXU]

The real question I have is.... are you Christmasing at Disney next year.... and what is the size of your traveling party?

Hi Paula, let's make this clear.....
I'm talking about the main elevator, the lobby elevator...
Isn't this thread just crazy?
Woot! I'm having a great time! I can't wait to award the prize! It just needs to arrive in one of the boxes I shipped home....
I have you down for 36 steps but if you want to change that guess based on the information I just gave you feel free!:goodvibes;):laughing:
I'm happy with 14 steps. I should have checked before I guessed. Dooh!
I have it!

We really didn't miss the counter service, and we could have hopped a bus over to Jambo to eat at Mara anytime.
Marc said that a couple of the parks did seem a little far to him but he couldn't recall which ones the were and he never minds the rides anyway.
It's me that complains....
We had great service at the resorts and the parks. Much better than we have had at Saratoga.
Don't feel like you are going to get stuck staying there. I think you will enjoy it very much.
I know how your parents feel though, staying at Beach Club is so convenient love the IG and the boat to DHS....
Not crazy about the bus service to Beach Club though....lots of stops.
Swan, Dolphin, Yacht Club, yada, yada, yada.....:laughing:
I guess nothing is perfect on all counts.

With the right touring plan you can get it all done!

/QUOTE]

We are neighbors! My DH works at Northrup Grumman right there in NN! My dad lives in Newport News as well. You know, it's a small world after all...:rolleyes1

Seriously, I totally agree with Anita. With the right touring plan, you can get it all done no problem. At least I am counting on that for spring break:rolleyes:

We were there last year for our spring break (mid March) and it was super crowded but the weather was awesome!
We got everything done!
Took advantage of fast passes, made sure we got the next one as soon as we could and even stock piled them.
Got to the parks early.
Avoided morning EMH parks....
When are your dates?

[ILuvCrush]

I think I'll keep my 36:goodvibes

only plus to the 2000 steps we had... our view was terrific! And completely different than the overlook:thumbsup2 Worth the walk!

[wigdoutdismom]

Anita-any pics of the Goldendoodle? I love seeing furbabies:goodvibes Sorry if you posted his name and if I missed it...

Yes, we have taken some pictures of him. We named him Hunny Pot! What lover he is! :love:
I'll get them up loaded and post them!
I feel like Jackie with this big dog laying around the house!:rotfl:

Anita! We had thought of a Golden Doodle as well. I would love to see a pic!

And....I have been spelling Marc's name with a K not a C - got it right finally! Sorry Shocker!

Just put Chapter one up on mine...hopefully will get to Chapter 2 tom! :worship:

[jillyb]

I need to know more about this man...
Is he the Oprah guy?

No, he's not the Oprah guy. He was a very funny science fiction writer. He died in 2001. Here's a wiki link with information about him:

Here's our Hunny Pot!

Can you tell how large he is?
EEEEK, I need some serious help with that coffee table!

I'm not sure, it might just be Marc and I....
maybe Baylor. He isn't sure he wants to go back at Christmas next year.
Somehow I knew you would be available although I'm not so sure you would want to be away from your Marc at Christmas time.The dates depend on our school calendars but Christmas break for sure.
We think Hunny is the cutest thing too!:goodvibes
Hunny Pot is adorable!

Thank you, I'm quite smitten!:love:

[eandesmom]

Hunny Pot is adorable!

[vamassey1]

Honey Pot is such a cutie! I have a big dog too. They do just love to lay around especially right under your feet. Max is a Golden Retriever.

[wannago2disney]

Your fur baby is soooo cute and I love the name "Hunny Pot"

[PracPerfPatricia]

Hmmm...I'm guessing 369 for the number of steps...I'm going on the higher side...those walks can get long...;)

Hunny Pot is too cute...Just make sure if you shorten the name you use Hunny and not Pot...I mean what would the neighbors think...:confused3

(I'm a bit put out with my Macintosh-he is cute...wheaten colored Scottish terrier but he just ate the Goofy Conducter from our train under the tree...

this was a weak after he ate the Frontier Mickey from our Lincoln Log Wilderness Lodge...:mad:...He's the Mini Marley...:sad2:

He's already a mama's boy. Under my feet at this very minute...
I wonder if they are cousins?

I wanted something Disney, after thinking and thinking the whole trip, this came to me on the flight home.:cutie:

Do you really think I can count that high?:laughing:
I've got you down for 369!
LOL on calling him Pot!
He's pretty much Hunny....
I wonder why Macintosh has it out for the characters? I think it's time to put them away.... I know, I'm bossy....:goodvibes
Is he young or just a stinker?

Both of my sisters have Goldendoodles. They are great with kids! One of them is coal black, and more "curly" poodle haired, the other looks a lot like yours only a more yellowy gold. Its funny how they all turn out so different! Hunny is cute!!

[manntra]

Awwwww Hunny Pot is adorable! He looks so fluffy and soft! :goodvibes I had a dog similar to him growing up...he was part terrier and siberian husky but he looked a lot like your new, not so little guy!
Where oh where did you get that DVC hoodie? I have never seen that before! I love it!! :)
I ordered a Macbook yesterday. I have no idea how to use it but I'm sure I will figure it out. :laughing: Should be here next week :thumbsup2 I am not a big fan of the new Windows and always wanted a Mac....

[Mndisneygirl]

I understand your worries. I stopped teaching for a few years and we went to Disney twice in January. Now that I am back to work we have to travel during vacations and I was concerned about it. My district doesn't allow me to take personal days near vacations or more than 3 in a row so that makes off season or long weekends almost impossible. We went last June and yes, it was HOT and more crowded but surprisingly, both DH and myself commented that we had more fun! So it is definitely doable!
By the way-I see you are from Southeast Virginia....I am in Suffolk-where are you?


I am in Newport News! Just a hop, skip, and a jump away-or a bridge-tunnel! ;) I have been to WDW in January, February, and October. Surprisingly, the first October trip was the coldest! The second October trip was HOT. We are thinking of going in August this year. The heat I am not so worried about. The crowds I am. I am interested to read this TR to see how much was accomplished!



Okay you VA people! My MIL and SIL live in Gloucester. My BIL also works at Northrup G!!! DH's cousins live in Williamsburg. We were down in August.
Come on sing it with me...It's a small world... If you come read my TR, there will be all kinds of snide comments about my VA in-laws. ;)

Wigd! I think I've been away for 24 hours and you must have gotten 5 more pages!!! I better get going on my TR too!

I love your dog...we just lost our golden lab/retriever after 17 years. I want another but am afraid of the puppy thing... Does he shed and is he a good house dog?

Thanks,

Honey Pot is adorable!! He's so much fluffier than our golden...I guess that's the doodle part...
Courtney is petitioning to make our Christmas trip an annual event. Next year on points, maybe?

Hunny Pot with his rubber chicken is a hoot!!! :rotfl:

[mickeysmyboy]

Hunny Pot is too darn cute!!! I love puppies!! I want another one and DH just rolls his eyes at me! We have a 100 lbs, 2 year old yellow lab named Pluto who is my 4th baby! I think he needs a furry friend ;)

I did some reading on them before we said yes and it does seem that they can look quite different although most of the pictures I found look very similar to Hunny who in fact looks just like Tiger Wood's Goldendoodle Yogi. I'll bet the color just depends on the poodle's color don't you think?
Awwwww Hunny Pot is adorable! He looks so fluffy and soft! :goodvibes I had a dog similar to him growing up...he was part terrier and siberian husky but he looked a lot like your new, not so little guy!

Terrier and Siberian Husky mix, was that on purpose?:laughing: I'll bet he was a very cute guy!
The DVC hoodie came from SSR gift shop. I spied it on our last day and just had to have it. We had just shipped the last box home or it would still be out there in the land of UPS ground shipping.....
It's not the regular sweatshirt material, more like a double weight cotton t-shirt. Way comfy!
You will get used to your Macbook, it's just different. They say it's like getting all you can do with a pc and a mac combined.
As well as you've done with your iphone you will be a pro in no time!
Happy New Year Tracy!

Hi Mike, thanks for delurking! Sorry about your pet....
we were just talking today about how happy we were to get Hunny at 3 years old. None of the puppy nonsense.
He has been an outside dog but was kept inside a bathroom at night.
He is totally housebroken.
Calms right down in the house.
Is great with kids, but not any kind of watch dog.
Typically is a non-shedding breed but he can let go with the fur when he's stressed.
We have had him three days and he's still shedding a little.
Hope this helps.
I have you down for 199 steps!
Honey Pot is adorable!! He's so much fluffier than our golden...I guess that's the doodle part...
Courtney is petitioning to make our Christmas trip an annual event. Next year on points, maybe?
I do think the doodle part is the fluffy part.:laughing:
I'm with Courtney, let's coordinate dates!
Maybe meet for dinner? Sleigh ride this time? Oh the possibilities....
You know it's probably just going to be the two of us....
Hunny Pot with his rubber chicken is a hoot!!! :rotfl:
Oh Jackie, he carries that thing everywhere. It's the one toy that the other two dogs had nothing to do with and he zoned in on it immediately. He takes it to his crate, then when he runs out and forgets it he goes back downstairs to get it. It's funny though, he never chews on it.
Hunny Pot is too darn cute!!! I love puppies!! I want another one and DH just rolls his eyes at me! We have a 100 lbs, 2 year old yellow lab named Pluto who is my 4th baby! I think he needs a furry friend ;)

I'll bet Pluto would love a brother or sister! I say just go for it! Yellow labs are very cute and cool dogs!
I can't wait to take Hunny to the vet and have him weighed....
He seems really heavy.

[MEK]

Hunny Pot! :thumbsup2 What a great name! Such a pretty dog! Love the mouse ears - can't do that with my cats. Go figure? :confused3

[wigdoutdismom]

Hi Kat! Got you down for 2009 steps! I'm guessing you've stayed atthe far side of Kidani before.....:lmao:

Trip?:laughing:

[wigdoutdismom]

Just because Mary asked so nicely!

If you were with me on the pre-trip you know that we were iffy on some of our travelers.
Harper had been sick with a stomach bug but was feeling better....
Here she is at 5 AM on the morning of December 20th checking in at Wichita Mid Continent Airport. We would fly to Dallas, have a very short layover then on to Orlando. Catch ME then head to Kidani Village to a 2br savannah view villa. Nice huh?

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq347/wigdoutdismom/035-10.jpg

Her daddy Matt had been sick with the same bug the night before and on only two hours of sleep. He showed up at the airport, tired, weak and pale but unwilling to give up the trip he had looked so forward to. Here he is with my Megan, Harper's mommy getting ready to take off for Dallas!

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq347/wigdoutdismom/037-9.jpg

Up next we have Keeley and Baylor. Don't they look happy? My how things change.....

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq347/wigdoutdismom/038-9.jpg

Marc got sat behind the group, here he is by his lonesome....

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq347/wigdoutdismom/039-7.jpg

Lastly here's me, so excited that I'm about to wet myself! We had all made it, Matt seemed OK, and everyone was going to my happy place. Well if you are reading this, it's your happy place too!

http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq347/wigdoutdismom/040-7.jpg

The flight to Dallas was 45 minutes, Matt, Megan and Harper slept. We got a quick snack at the airport and boarded for the flight to Orlando.
Someone one didn't feel so hot on this leg of the journey....
Can you guess who it was?

[stace208]

We were there last year for our spring break (mid March) and it was super crowded but the weather was awesome!
We got everything done!
Took advantage of fast passes, made sure we got the next one as soon as we could and even stock piled them.
Got to the parks early.
Avoided morning EMH parks....
When are your dates?[/QUOTE]

Hunny Pot is TOOO cute! Love those Minnie ears:goodvibes
Our dates for spring are April 4th-Easter but we arrive late to April 8th-we leave late afternoon. I know it will be uber crowded but this is just a bonus, surprise trip for the kids. When we bought our DVC contract we got '09 points so we are splurging this year. We're also going in June (23rd-July 2nd) and Christmas (most likely 26th-30 or 31st):thumbsup2

[stace208]

LOL! I'll come over and read your TR as long as you promise not to judge all Virginians as you do your in-laws:rolleyes1

[shannn]

So that's what Keely looks like! The whole time I saw her she was hidden under a hood texting. ;)

Harper (and her mom & dad) is so freakin' precious!)

[Lady Lallie]

I just love the picture of Harper, so CUTE! :cutie:

[jordanyosh]

Okay caught up--cute dog.

Being sick on a plane--not fun for anyone.

Steps to your room. 187

You have a beautiful family. Harper is the cutest thing ever! I can't imagine anyone in that nice looking bunch turing into sour grapes!:confused3

That looks down right yummy!!! But you didn't tell me what it is??? But I will take a serving, please.

[Wannabinnc]

Tell me your deepest fears my dear....;)

I'm right there with you.....
I saw 3 of my kids yesterday and it really made my day, but I'm just not ready to go back to it all yet. Not at all!


That looks very juicy! Poor Pammy isn't eating much red meat these days though.

I said "some" not all...
Well, if you notice on my reply to Shocker, I asked for a "portion".....hehehehehe. I'm a good patient.... :)

[matosfam]

Ok, I've been lurking since page 1... I think it's time to finally join in with a guess! How about 222?

I am also a teacher. I home-schooled my kids for 6 years and then started teaching in a school again last year. I am so sad now -- without visiting the World during off times -- I am scared to attempt the busy season stuff! I am hoping to learn something from your TR's so I can conquer my fears and try June this year!:goodvibes

Looking forward to reading more! popcorn::

Oh believe me, a couple of them were very sour! Pucker your mouth, sour....

Thanks for joining in, hanging around in the shadows isn't any fun! We go at the end of May and the first part of June yearly. If you want to see how that is you might want to check out my flashing jelly ring trip report! If you can handle the weather and the people it's really pretty fun, just go early, leave in the afternoon and then back in the evening!
What grade do you teach?

I have you down for 222 steps!

[winkers]

How in the heck is this already on page 15????

now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm going back to read.

[sugar1967]

WOW!! page 15 already and we haven't even landed in Orlando yet:scared1:

So my guess for the steps will be 399 in keeping with the drama I see coming in your TR. Thinking that this long walk might have just added to that. Looking forward to reading allllll about it :lmao:

[wannago2disney]

so sorry to hear that some of you were not feeling too well. it sucks to be sick when travelling...even worse when you are at Disney and sick:sad2: I hope that the mouse has a magic cure.

Awwww...what a great start! Harper does look so cute in her stroller!!!! Well like you said at least you all made it to the airport!!! Can't wait for more!

[kschafer]

Everyone looks so happy on the plane :rolleyes1

I want to play the number of steps game but have no idea what has already been guessed! :confused3

[Charleston Princess]

Harper looks like she was feeling a ton better and just so adorable in her First Trip shirt!!! :lovestruc

Everyone looks so happy on the plane except poor, ostracized Shocker. :lmao: Was he having premonitions of impending doom??? ;)

As for where we are staying for Christmas, well that is the million dollar question my friend! LOL! Our home is OKW so I will be making a reservation there come January but I don't intend on keeping it if I can help it. (We're staying VWL April and OKW June). I would really like to give AKL a try, but, if your much loved BCV had an opening, I would be oh so tempted. Of course, the Boardwalk is appealing to me too as we've never stayed there. Really, a lot will depend on what's open at 7 months!
Will you guys be staying at Beach Club?
Happy New Year!

I did go to the gift shop in Wichita and purchase some Imodium for Matt and told him that he would take it before he boarded the plane (which he did without argument).
I'm not so sure Shocker looked happy but then again, his picture was taken while he wasn't expecting it...
Plus, I'm sure he was sitting there wondering what he had forgotten. Me? Not a worry in my little pea-brain!

I'll get working on a list of entries, just for you!

[cmskok]

What a beautiful family, Anita...guess that's why God made them beautiful, so it would be easier to forgive them when ugliness ensues!!! Happy New Year!

She was sure bright eyed and full of excitement at the airport! I was relieved to see that she was so much better!

Poor guy had to take the seat he was assigned, don't think any of my crew was going to switch with him.....:sad2:

That was one of my ebay finds. Got it last spring! I do think they are still around though....

I am hoping for Beach Club next Christmas. Our problem booking it at 11 months is we just don't know what our school calendar is going to look like. I suppose we can book it and then change dates if we have to.
I want our next Kidani stay to be in the summer so we can enjoy the pool. We may bank those points for another family trip.....
Did I just say that?
Maybe a partial family trip.
Happy New Year to you too!

[cjackearl]

Very cute doggie and very, very cute grandbaby!:cutie: She looks ready to get there, already. Aw, yuck on the sickies. I'm guessing the next one to fall will be Megan. Stomach bugs are the worst!

Keeley puts me in mind of the poem,
"There once was a girl,
who had a little curl, right in the middle of her forehead,
when she was good, she was very, very good,
when she was bad, she was horrid.
Yep, that's her....

Waiting for Harper to wake up as I sit here at the computer!
She spent the night last night!
That stomach bug was not kind!

Page 16 is down right wrong. Sorry I'm so late.
My guess is 83 steps. Harper looks so excited to be going to Disney! Hope nothing gets to serious with her daddy though.
Happy New Year!

[stace208]

I understand the problem with school calendars. That's why we are going after Christmas. Plus, since we had to work until the 22nd this year, I am fairly certain we'll work to that or the 23rd next year.:sad2: My DH doesn't want to be there on Christmas day so I figure if he's willing to go after, I will take it!!! In a few years the stars will align and we'll have that whole week before Christmas off again and I'll talk him into another Christmas trip.:rolleyes1

So, did Keeley make it her new year resolution to talk to her mama?

[DisneyJo]

I'm glad everyone made it to the airport and Harper is so cute :goodvibes

Just seen that we were there at the same time, well I left on the 22nd so briefly anyway :rotfl2:

[2xcited2sleep]

Harper looks so cute in her first visit t-shirt! Stomach bugs and WDW do not go together so hoping everyone kicked it quickly. Sorry to hear that the bright eyed excitement of some didn't last throughout the trip. :rolleyes:

Looking forward to more! popcorn::

[Native NYer]

Happy New Year!!!

Harper is adorable!!!! Looks like your trip started off great :)

[Happydog]

Oh you guys looked so cute and happy on the airplane! Love the anticipation smiles, etc.!!! I only know how quickly it turned, so that of course makes me laugh!:rotfl: I just love your quips about the pending unraveling!!! OH! CUTE dog! Very cute.
Love those mickey ears!!!!

Hi there!

Hi Katie! Are you still Disneying?

Happy New Year!
Welcome aboard! I've got you down for 83 steps.:goodvibes

I really hope we are off before Christmas again. I so liked the dates of this past trip. It was nice going down as early as possible then back home on the 28th. Maybe we'll overlap at the end, but who knows if we don't have a bunch of time up front we may be there a bunch of days together.
I have just enjoyed having this time at home before starting back to school.

I have no idea what that girls New Years resolution is, she would have to be speaking to me to tell me...:laughing:
I'm glad everyone made it to the airport and Harper is so cute :goodvibes

BTW what dates were you at WDW, did I miss that?
We were in Disney from December 20th throught the 28th. Although our flight left so early on the 28th(6 AM)it didn't count as a day...l.
I was so relieved that everyone made it. I just knew if we could get them down to Orlando, they could rest up in the villa and enjoy some of their time in the parks.
We think our Harper is pretty cute too! Thanks for the compliment!:goodvibes

Nope that excitement didn't last long at all, and what a shame. :sad2:
We were lucky that the bug was of the 24 hour breed. Not much vacation time was lost to it!
We found Harper's shirt at an outlet last summer on our trip! I was tickled that it fit.:cutie:

Oh yes, the first few hours were uneventful, if only I could say that about the rest of the day...
Harper is our little doll baby! We get quite a charge out of her!

Oh yes, you know, I'm just grateful that you didn't witness it like some other DISers did!:eek:
That girl is one grade A STINKER!
Isn't Hunny a cutie! He wears those ears very well!

[wigdoutdismom]

I went back and looked and you had said, sorry :goodvibes I left on the 22nd :goodvibes

Oh darn, I wonder if we were in any of the same parks while we overlapped?

[IluvXU]

Harper is just a doll. I am glad that the bug did not stay around, but sorry the Grinch hitchhiked along!

I think I it will be fun just seeing all the Disney gear Harper has! She had to be the best dressed girl in the world!

[manntra]

Thanks for the info on the DVC sweatshirt....I will be sure to look out for one in May. I know what you mean about the lightweight material...I have a Mickey one on right now ;)
Harper is so cute in her little orange stroller! I was cracking up with your description of excitement!!!:lmao: Did she mind the flight?
Ugh Shannon mentioned something about Keely texting....my niece didn't bring her phone in October because she knows how much it drives me crazy with her texting! Of course it is different if I am doing it or am updating FB ;)

You know Laura I kept thinking of you as we pushed Harper through Disney in her stroller, especially during the times that she just wanted out! I remember you saying that there were times that Luke just wanted to be free of the stroller. The problem was if we let go of her she ran.....:eek:
I'm thinking now that most of her outfits might have been covered up by her coat.
Hmmmm.
I can't wait to go back through the pictures!:laughing:

Keeley is a texter, but I think I drove Shocker about as crazy with my texting and FB updates when I figured out how to do it.....
I think at one point he took a picture of me with my phone out....
I can't wait for that to appear with some smartypants comment. Looking through pictures I think they had that DVC hoodie at Kidani as well, I just didn't love it as much on that day....:confused3

[addictedtothemouse]

I had to laugh at the poem about Keeley, she sounds exactly like my DD15. I ahd hoped that as she got older she would mellow out... doesn't sound like it. :headache:

[Native NYer]

You must have so much fun buying clothes for Harper. Girls clothes are just too cute. I have two nephews and the excitement of buying new Nikes is wearing off :lmao:

Don't give up hope, you never know, but if she is anything like my Keeley it isn't going to change anytime soon....

It is fun buying for Harper. Very fun....
I have seen some really cute stuff for boys at Von Maur. Do you have on of those around? The Ed Hardy stuff is adorable!
I'm sure you can find the Ed Hardy in NY easy! Check it out and tell me what you think!

[PrincessCaitlin]

Thought over my first answer and I am going to switch it to 150

I am thinking I might have been a little low :lmao:

Teen girls are tough, we keep worrying we are at the tip of the iceberg with K, have awesome and half...silent. Deathly silent.

The Ed Hardy stuff is cute, I'm surprised Evan isn't into it but I have been able to find good stuff online for him as he wants to dress like the big boys but isn't quite big enough! Zumiez, Vans and Aeropostale have youth sizes and decent selections.

Harper is ADORABLE!

My guess is Megan started feeling ill....

If you want to get on page 1 you need to get your patootie over there pronto!

:rotfl2: It would also be helpful if you waited till I was home and didn't have to dis while in the bathroom.
