Our 3rd Trip to WDW, Sept' 09, *TOC on Pg 1* *TR STARTED - CLICK ON THE LINK*

Ridemax is a program you download to your computer... It basically uses historical data of every day data they collect at WDW to determine line wait times and walking distances... Once you enter the program, you can select the date and park you want to go to, then it will list out the park hours, all of the attractions including shows and rides, and let you select how long you want to be at the park... You can highlight each attraction you want to visit that day... It allows you to plug in time for breaks, or enter you ADR's as well... It will then calculate the "Best" possible schedule to fit all of your stuff in... It takes into account how long the rides are and everything... It will give you estimated wait times for the rides and how long it will take to get to each ride... It is supposed to be pretty close to the actual times, so this way, you know which rides to hit first, and which ones to wait on... It will even tell you when to get fast passes, and when to use them...

It costs $18.99 for a 90 day subscription to it, but if it does what it says it does, it is well worth it to me... The website is www.ridemax.com

Hi Oregon parents of 2! I missed your updates. You are a very giving family. I love what you're doing for your parents, and your brother sounds like a wonderful guy! Yeah for Pop! I know alot of people love it!

 

[lisalonglash]

We can still meet up... Are you planning on doing any water parks? We can meet there or meet up in a park somewhere... What do you mean exactly by pool activities? [/SIZE]

We're not planning any water parks, but hopefully, we'll be in the same park at the same time at least once! Oh, the pool activities look soooo fun! ASMu has a daily board where they write all the activities for that particular day - the one I saw had things like a dance contest, a hula hoop contest, pool bingo, etc. ASMu also shows a Disney movie every evening at the main pool. We're going to love all the activities and the movies in the evenings and on our rest day!!

You know, you and T and your family are truly good people. I hope we get a chance to meet up for our children to play together and for the adults to have a good old natter!

Winkers... Love the flat Jordo pics...


Jordo... I am thinking... Scary I know... But I think I am going to need a few different pics... I need the tongue... I need a scared/surprised face... I am going to need the power fist... and probably a semi normal pic... Let the games begin...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Lisa... I will PM you a list of what we are planning to do each day and see if we over lap at all or can figure out a way to meet...

We have a wedding to go to this evening... Terry is getting off work early and should be here in about a half an hour to get ready... The wedding is at Deepwood Estates, a nice historical place here in Salem, it has beautiful grounds, lots of flowers... We are hoping to be able to get some good pictures of the kids while we are there, and if we do then I am sure Terry will share a few of them...

We are down to 53 days until we leave... Time is flying and the kids are getting so excited...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Your wish is my command.

Careful... The last guy who said that ended up married with 2 kids.... Just sayin'...

Did you see my back as I went running...you say the word marriage around me or the word commitment and I take off.....

 

[oregonmommyof2]

The wedding went great... Bride was gorgeous... Groom was downing the booze before the thing started...

We got there an hour early... Terry wanted to walk the grounds and take pictures... Well, we walked around a corner and saw the bride carrying a table over her head while in a veil!!!!

They were running around trying to get everything ready... okay, the bride is a co-worker of Terry's and about 4 years ago he was at work and called me asking if I would be willing to help out one of his co-workers and watch her 2 boys... She was really struggling to find someone for her shift... 2:30 pm to 11:30 pm... Well, Terry worked 4:00pm to midnight at that time and I was a stay at home mom anyways, so I said sure... Well, 4 years later and the oldest is starting 1st grade, I am still watching them, but come September I won't be... I have had the boys since the little one was 4 months old... It is going to be very hard for me not having them 4 days a week... Anywho...

Terry and I started helping with whatever we could do... Terry helped set everything up and started taking photos, I got the boys dressed and ready... I think Terry got some great pictures of the kids all dancing at the reception... We ended up staying until almost midnight to help clean everything up...

So it was a good night and we had a great time, but it was almost bitter sweet for me, the boys went to their Dad's house for 2 weeks and when they get back, their new Step Dad will be picking them up from me after only having them for 2 hours, then after 2 weeks of that, I am done... I will be a backup for the evenings and weekends if they have something going on... It's amazing how you get attached to kids that are not even yours...

Hi

You have a lot of wonderful plans

For me planning is so much fun, and I really enjoy doing all the little things that make the trip so magical.

I hope you can help me, what kind of program did you use to print your tee shirt disigns? Do I have to buy something extra? I have the tranfers.

I think I see lanyards with pins in the picture of things you make. Do you pin trade? If so where do you buy your pins from?


I'm really looking forward to staying at Pop's it will be our 1st time
This is our 2nd trip but 1st with grandson Any tips you care to share for taking a little one?

Maybe we could meet, Our plans are a little fexible as we have park hoppers, and I'm trying to go with the flow and take our time to see how the grandson handle things.
Have good day
Talk soon
Grace

I got the pins from mousepinsonline.com The kids like to trade with the cast members...

I will let Terry answer the question on the shirts... He was the one who did everything on those, i just gave the orders for what I wanted...

We should try and hook up on the Animal kingdom day, I think it was the 18th for both of us... We both have ADR's for Tusker House that morning... Mine at 8:00am and yours at 8:30am if memory serves me correctly...

I will have to go back and see how old your grandson will be when you travel, then i will see if I have an words of wisdom!

i miss living in hillsboro. i lived right near the haggen and old chicago

You lived in Hillsboro???

It's going to be SO HOT here next week so I wouldn't miss it that much, lol.

I am sort of on the other end of Hillsboro from the Tanasbourne area, closer to Orenco and the Hillsboro airport.

Why did you move?
