You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!

[longing2Batdisney]

Sitting here catching up w/you and Ashton came sit on my lap. Lookee mommy that is monkey's. No, gorillias. ooohh montey dorillas. When I came to the end he starts telling me up up up ( I didn't understand) he wanted me to pan up so he could see them again, than down down down...

Even 3 yr olds love your TR!!! He enjoys the dis as much as I do; getting to catch up on what we missed and need to catch next year.

My custom maps that I ordered were shipped today! I plan to use them to customize our countdown/planning calendar for next year.

And Dayne came home last night and tells me that he and his friends decided where they want to go on their SR trip. WALT DISNEY WORLD!!! so he will be going in May. Sounds like AP's may be in order (at least for him, myself, and Ashton). Only problem I don't know if any of them will be 18 yet. SAHM might just have to chaperone (in a seperate room, of course)

The book pic is too cool!! Love the globes!!! even noticed the pic of Mickey and Hunter?

That's plain spooky. I think you're absolutely right, that the book would have fallen open, and probably hit something else on the way down. And the fact that it's that same book again! You know what might be a good test, re-shelf the book out of order and see what happens!

Your ghosts sound like they enjoy creating little mysteries for you. Maybe they'd like a little more friendly interaction!

By the way, it's been great getting Hunter's perspective on "the world", since my own boys are very close to his age, and our first trip is now just over 6 months away. Keep it comin'!

I have put the book back on the shelf and have taken pictures of them just to have something to look back on and see if they've moved.

Hunter absolutely loves Disney World. He's been going since he was just 1 year old and hasn't missed a Summer vacation there yet.

WOW to the ghost and WOW to the Gorillas!

Aren't they both the greatest things!

This is way better with pictures. Too cool and spooky. Lovin it.

I was wondering where you have been all day. Working? I have many of those same snow globes. I have always been a collector of those.

This is the best ever. It was raining so hard and so long when we were there we saw no animals. I'm taking these pictures too.

Yeah, I've been working. I think I have spoiled this boss of mine. He has NEVER had a secretary/paralegal who gives a hoot about him or his clients. My former boss was so used to me taking care of everything that I thought all bosses were like that. So, when I came over here, I just kind of took over and straightened out everything that his prior secretary screwed up. I am not tooting my own horn but he loves me to death! It's almost comical. Today, we had no appointments so I wore a pair of jeans and tennis shoes. When I said something about it, he told me I could come barefooted as far as he is concerned. I had to laugh out loud at that one.

The snowglobes are actually Lacey's. She used to get one for her birthday and Christmas every year. With her away at college, she has nowhere to put them. I decided that they were just collecting dust in her room so I'd bring them to work and collect dust here.

You can certainly claim my gorilla pictures as your own. I don't mind a bit.

I almost forgot to order the customized park maps and didn't do it until last week. We really don't need the park maps but I save them for souvniers and for scrapbooking. You have a cool idea using them for your countdown calendar.

Tell Mr. Ashton that I love the fact that he got a kick out of my montey dorillas. Tell him I'll have some more pictures posted soon.

Now Dayne is my kinda kid...choosing Disney World for his senior trip. Lacey tried to get some of her friends together for a trip to Disney but nobody had any money after our church youth group went skiing earlier that year. She has missed going with us to Disney the last two years and is getting super excited about going.

Isn't the book thing neat! I have more Disney stuff in my office too they just weren't in the pictures.

Okay, I want to know what the secret is with you guys and the maps.

I ordered them for our 2007 trip but I CANNOT get them to work this time. I have been trying for 3 months now (and, no, I'm not exaggerating) and EVERY SINGLE time I get to the point where my address is entered (it's all already there), I click "Next" and I get...

"Sorry. A system error has occurred. Please try again later."

It makes me SO mad. I tried emailing Disney and they gave me some fake response about maybe I'm not elligible (you can order them every 6 months and it's been 2 years!). I responded and have never heard from them again.

I WANT MY MAPS!

Okay, sorry for the venting hijack.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Can you make another email account? If so, maybe you could register with Disney using the new email account and then order them. I wonder what the deal is? I've never had a problem getting my maps.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I wanted you guys to know about a sale Disney Outlet is having. I just got an email saying everything in the outlet store is 30% off. Just use OUTLET30 in the coupon/promo spot on the checkout page. I wish there was something I needed to order but there's not.

I also forgot to tell you all that we went Disney shopping again this weekend. John got a new pair of Nikes for just $44.97 and I got a pair of new Nikes for just $22.48 because they were half off. Yipee! I didn't really need a new pair but John insisted I get them because they were so cheap.

 

[hhockman]

It just let me do it under Matt's account. Don't know why mine won't work. I swear I'd tried under my mom's name too, but maybe I hadn't.

Doesn't matter 'cause my maps are on the way (I think I picked some different favorites than what I had, but oh well...the favorites isn't the important part)!

Going to check out the Disney Outlet now. Like I need anything else (I do actually need new tennis shoes, but that's another story). THANKS!

 

[dismagiclover]

I love all the gorilla pictures! Gorillas are my favorite! Whenever we go to the zoo my kids and DH must see the pandas. All I want to see are the gorillas. I would have been in heaven

 

[BippityBoo]

So strange about the book! I have had two ghost "encounters" at my house in the past two weeks...must be spirits in the air

Do tell!

 

[hhockman]

Just wanted to let you know that the OUTLET30 code is only for "select tween merchadise". I just tried to use it (found a bunch of cheap t-shirts) and couldn't.

Oh well.

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

I agree with you about the book. There's just no possible way, and twice with the same book to boot! Yep, definitely spirits or something kooky going on...

Adore the gorilla photos, too. You did get some good shots, huh?

Are you using explorer or firefox? I had similar issues and if memory serves, ordering them with a different browser (don't get me started on the variances of Flash and Disney lol) did the trick.

If all else fails, log in as someone else, somewhere else, and order them.

 

[hhockman]

Thanks! I did. I logged in as DH. Not sure why I didn't try that before. I swear I tried logging in as my mom.

Didn't even OCCUR to me to try Firefox (I was using Explorer).

I got 'em, that's the important thing. If I'd have thought to ask here first, I'd have them already!

 

[Angies1274]

Great Gorilla pics!!! You got some really good close-up shots!! Wow...very spooky that it was the same book and that it didn't fall open when it fell. That is so strange???

At least the maps are now on the way to you!

That was the absolute best thing we did all day! It was just so awesome to watch.

Yes, you've gotta tell. Don't feel like you are hijacking the thread 'cause we really want to know.

Well phooey! I guess I didn't read the fine print on the email.

I have a feeling that the book isn't going to move anymore. Why? Because a lot of the fussing that was going on between the attorneys is going to die down. They agreed for one of them to buy my boss out.

I don't, however, think that's going to stop the other goings-on. I think these ghosts aren't used to having somebody in "their" space.

I wish the gorilla pictures had turned out a little clearer but I was having to hold the camera up close to me since it was raining. It was awesome to watch them eating and just lazing around.

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

So, I have been in a Disney planninng lull because of too much real-life interuptions and busyness and stress and reading your Trip Report (I read the actual parts of the trip, skimmed the chitchat - although yipes about the ghost!) and it has gotten me excited again for our trip!!! Thank you!! And can't wait to read more!!

 

[ThePin Princess]

Hi there, just found your TR yesterday and i'm all caught up now, great pics. You guys really seemed to luck out with lines and waits so far in the trip. I was there with my parents the same week, same hotel, and same surprise! HOW WEIRD! We were in Aruba. And it was our first stay at CBR
