Nobby's Gnomies... heading to WDW in April 2010

[2xcited2sleep]

Here's the story, of some lovely ladies, who met while trip planning on the DIS…

Well, I don't have time to come up with additional lyrics to be sung to the tune of the Brady Bunch but you get the point.

It all started some 250 pages and 3,000++ posts ago and has turned into a group of friends who are there for each other to laugh and cry together, support each other and yes, countdown to Disney trips . While we've all been chatting for a while now, we welcome any new faces who want to come along with all of our nuttiness (is that a word?). Seriously, we’re relatively normal.

So what do you need to know about us?

- We are planning a trip in April 2010 for Flower & Garden festival - a mix of attendees, some solo, some w/ hubby, some w/ kids

- Occasionally we do trip planning on this thread but for the most part it's chatting amongst friends

- Speaking of chatting, we have our own chat room, thanks to Julezdisney http://disaway.blogspot.com

- We have a gnome. Yes, a gnome. His name is Nobby. I'm not sure I can explain but I will try. At some point as we were talking about Flower & Garden someone (Lady Lallie) mentioned her love of the garden gnome. Paula (Iluvcrush) was quick to confess her secret love of gnomes as well. From there Paula decided we needed our own gnome and Nobby journeyed from the land of travelocity.com to meet his new family. Since he's joined us, he has visited WDW with Jen (jenjolt) and also Chicago with Julez. You can read an ongoing account of his WDW trip with Jen here or about his Chicago trip here.

The trip planning we have done can be found here:

So to my “old” friends and new friends alike… here is a toast to the next 250 pages, 3,000 posts, daily laughs and friendship.

Blech. That doesn't sound fun.

Today is a slower than usual day at my work.

Which is giving me time to obsess over my Disney Itinerary. I think I will be calling Disney this evening.

I wish I could read when it's slow at work. I have to pretend to be busy.

I think I might cancel two ADRs and thinking of adding one. I'm not 100% sure though. I'm doing some Fuzzy Disney Math for my May ADRs and some Fuzzy Disney Planning for September in my notebook to see what I come up with.

I hope your day goes by speedy quick so you can go home and rest some more!

Hi, Jen! I really hope you start to feel better soon!

Thanks Jackie!! I'm feeling better just not 100% and I still feel like something is not quite right!

So has anyone else ever lost their sense of smell but still able to taste their food, because it is the oddest thing I'm going through right now LOL!!

I'm sick for the weekend and your canceling and making new ADRs and doing stuff called Fuzzy Disney Math...see what the lack of us chatting and listening to Spectro has done to you...we must end this now LOL

Oh look I still have my wicked funny sense of humor and sarcasm LOL!!

That is what happens when I have too much time on my hands.

I blame Marc because he wants to go in September. I again pointed out to him last night that his TV might have to wait if we go in September and he said....

and this is a direct quote....

"THAT'S OKAY."



So now I am rethinking some of my ADRs for May in order to save a bit of money and the fact that I might be able to go to some of the places with Marc in September.
