That pic of you & the dog, well, the puppy makes me baby talk. What a cute pup!

Haha thanks, she's a doll!

OMG! You and I are going to be in WS at the same time on the 18th! I have a Biergarten ADR close to the same time as you!

Cool! That's funny bc I think we almost got stuck at Biergarten after that ADR mistake. Not that there's anything wrong with it it's just not what we wanted. Maybe we'll see eachother!!

OMG
your spreadsheet is INCREDIBLE!!!

thank you thank you

awww poor doggy! That was a cute mini trip report! As for illuminations/Rose and Crown..even if they get super frustrated, i'm pretty sure they can't kick you out. If worse comes to worse, just say you'd like to watch illuminations from the deck so you are taking it slow. I guess lol. I'm going to call at the 6 week mark and ask for later things and keep trying, because the later it is, the easier it is!

Yeah she was so pathetic

I was actually thinking they probably wouldn't kick us out... although they might ask us to leave. We'll try every tactic to streeeeeeeetch out the meal And definitely try for later times.

So I have a LOT of shopping to do in the next ... 86 days! Although I really only have 77 days until we leave for Canada and there's only one day in between I did put in a big order on minimus.com a while ago. I had a lot of fun on there!
I have our crocs picked out! I never though I would wear crocs but they have some really cute ones now! And yes I did pick out DBFs lol the other night I said "Hey hunny you wanna see the shoes your getting for Disney?" Anyway here they are!!

Cleos $29.99
Not really sure what color I want....
Let's have a vote!!
You can see them all here

OK now for DBFs

Scutes also $29.99

I'm hoping to order them soon so I can use them over the summer and break them in a bit

Also I'm trying to find some sort of water bottles with filters, anyone know of any where I can get these?

I really wanted to get new bag for the parks but I can't justify spending the money so we'll just stick to the good old backpack. Plus that way DBF will help carry it

I also need to get one of those shoe holder organizer thingies that I'll pack all the little stuff in easy to find clear pockets. Whoever thought of this originally was a genius!!

Plus lots and lots of odds and ends! Plus clothes... DBF will probably just get a bunch of white tanks and mesh shorts. I'll probably do most of my shopping over the summer at my aunt's consignment shop where I'll be working part-time! Unfortunately I will probably spend most of the $$ I make on clothes lol

I vote for chocolate/cotton candy or Navy/seafoam!!

I need to find a shoe holder also. I also always to a fold up mesh clothes hamper to use while there.

I love both of those colors!

I have heard of the hamper thing too but I don't think we really need it since there are only two of us and its only 5 nights

Well I have been reading tinkgurl's PTR and since I missed the part where everyone shared their memories about certain attractions I though I would post mine here!! Also if you have any memories you would like to share, please feel free, I love to read them!

We'll start our journey at the Magic Kingdom...
Carousel of Progress
My memories from CoP aren't really specific but I just get warm fuzzies from it A lot of times just me and DM would ride since we were the only ones who really loved it and DDad would take my sisters off to do something else. Anyway I had a great time hanging out with DM doing something we both enjoyed. We also did this with TTA, I guess we're the low-key ones, but don't get me wrong I LOVE me a thrill ride or roller coaster!!
Isn't this such a great show?!?

 

[amandaluvsgoofy]

CUTE shoes! I already bought us some Crocs (mine with Mickey heads!), but since my hubby likes them so much I may have to buy some more!
One of my favorite memories from the last time I went (like 15 years ago!) was resort hopping. We stayed at the Contemorary and explored the resorts in that area. The Poly was soooooo neat! My cousin and I walked around the gift shops at the resorts and just checked things out (and I had to find the staircase area from Full House in the GF where D.J. and her boyfriend reunite, cheezy, haha!). I totally plan on exploring a few this trip!

Thanks I like resort hopping, too. It's nice to see how the other half lives

Those shoes are really cute! Hmmm some more shopping might be in order! My COP memory isn't really specific either, I LOVE this ride. No one else in my family likes it but I make them go on it every year. Whenever I say I want to go on it they always exclaim, "Yay nap time!" Ugh, I just roll my eyes because at least they're going on it!

At least the go with you! I cannot figure out how to get DBF to ride IASW, he flat out refuses

Haha, yeah and seriously they fall asleep, not kidding! Haha I made a deal with dbf, he told me that if I never ever sing the song then he'll go on it with me. I love to torture him with that song but that must end so he'll go on it with me! Hey I do what I gotta do! I'm sure you'll figure out something.

 

[shordiebecka]

oh man..dbf hates crocs!! i have mary jane ones that i'm in love with, and i can't wait to buy pink ones for disney. they are excellent! i never ever got a blister and wore them for 5 nights, 6 days. I was going back and forth about the laundry mesh bag too..and i am going to bring one. I will be there 8 nights though. For me, it's just a matter of organization. When I go on vacation, I like to unpack my stuff, and get organized. I can't stand not knowing what's clean and whats dirty and piles of clothes stacked all over the place..that's just me though. I get crazy about things like that!

I really think he should at least try it once, you know, for the experience, but he doesn't seem to agree with me

Yeah I figure we'll just unpack and then we can throw our dirty stuff back in our suitcases. We'll probably bring some garbage bags in case we need to bring clean clothes home. I'm really trying to minimize since I'm a chronic over-packer

Maybe you should let IASW slide, since he'll have to ride it a million times when you have kids. Then you can use it as leverage to ride something else, or dinner, or OH! Have him get up in front of the restaurant & do something foolish, if you're going to that kind of place!

Ooo I agree. Forget IASW if you could get him to do that! That would be so worth not going on the ride! I know my family and I best memories are ones where someone in our family made a complete fool of themselves!

Hmm I will probably have a better chance if there a cute kids begging him I will have to see about getting him in front of a restaurant.... I mean he's always doing foolish things anyway! Any ideas where we can go?

I agree it's always great memories and you don't really have to worry about embarrassment since you'll never see those people again anyway! But you gave me a good idea for a memory later....

 

[kaos928]

So I know the title "Memory of the Day" isn't totally appropriate at this point It'll be a little rough my 2nd summer class started today so I have TWO intense classes going on right now AND we're moving on Saturday

Space Mountain
My best memory of Space Mountain isn't on the ride but in line. In the very first room when you enter there used to be tons of silver balls, like the kind you would find in the ball pit at like a Chuck E Cheese or something. Anyway me and my sisters nabbed a bunch of them (I don't know why our parent's ever let us do this?!...) I guess we drove that year because I remember stopping for a bathroom break and sliding the van door open and silver balls falling out and rolling around the parking lot ...or maybe you had to be there
