The bad news is....I'm late - sorry
The good news is...I don't appear to have missed much
I'm here now though and just in time it seems (don't worry, it's low fat popcorn as I'm still on my pre-WDW diet - hence why I've been avoiding the Restaurants Board lately.
Hi Joh! No guilt here! I'm so very glad that you joined my Brit friend!!
I'm going to be insanely jealous in Oct/Nov when you are in WDW and then cruising away into the sunset.
You really left THAT message? And, better yet, you're still employed?
Just exactly how many phone messages did you have on your return. Too funny.
Love your must do's. I have had many of the same over the years, including the avocado rita. I should have warned you that it is really NOT the best. Great if you are starving, otherwise.....
Hi MK! Actually NO, if I left that message I don't think my boss would think it's funny. He's very serious, he needs to visit WDW sometime!
Yeah... it's not so much the phone messages as the emails that kill me but I had that solved since I had my work iphone with me.
Ack! Didn't like it.
I just got here and we are already on page 7??! Ack!
I too love your pink bag! You’re the DIS fashionista!
Why do most men not understand how important the 7 must-do are??
Can’t wait to read about all 14 days!
Christine
Hi Christine! Ha ha! Wait until you see my coral bag!
Men may not understand the importance of at least 3 of the 7 must dos but they better not interfere with them! Just sayin'!
I can't wait to hear how you liked WL. We are big BC fans, but decided to break out of our rut and stay at the WL last February. Although we missed the quick walk into Epcot from the BC, we loved the lodge.
I'm also curious to hear about your Magic Bands. It was a good thing that WL and BLT weren't part of the test, too. Eight MB's might have been a bit ridiculous.
I will give you a preview since you asked nicely with a smiley face. I liked WL even if it isn't on my must do list I love the location and the rugged outdoor ambiance.
I really only needed 1 set of magic bands but I didn't know that at the time. BUT... the different colors may have coordinated better with my cheap vacation clothes!
Yes I do remember asking you how you packed!! I think last time I had 2 full checked bags and a full carryon.. This time.. I'm hoping for 2 checked bags and a carryon lol!! I don't know how to pack light!! One of my checked bags is smaller though so we will see what happens...
Can't wait to read more about your trip! Hoping you were able to accomplish your Must Do's!!
I haven't done any shopping yet for my trip... It all depends on if I manage to lose any weight! If I don't I will need some new clothes... If I do you will see a repeat of what I wore last year lol.
See, I knew you would remember!! Good luck with your feat of packing this trip. I want to see a repeat of your Minnie nails!
I think we did pretty good with the list.
I love the tote bag and the sundresses.
I'm thinking you completed at least 7 out of 10 on the must do list.
I had a good laugh over your voicemail.
Thanks! The dress was a fashion repeat! Eagle eyes will notice it from past trips to WDW.
Oh.... you have a great guess Ashley. Stay tuned....
I hit all the discount stores as well before my trips too haha. However I just spent 16 days in Spain with my husband for the Air Force and their shopping was super cheap so I found dresses for our upcoming trip for under 10 euro.
Hi Lori! What great deals! Isn't a euro comparable to about $2 US currency? Even better though is 16 days in Spain. Fabulous or as they say muy bueno.
Stopping by from my TR... I love the start of yours! It seems we have several things in common, most importantly - Spending time with our children, creating memories while they still enjoy traveling with us... I am so dreading the day my girls go off to college - I have no idea what I will do with myself!
Anyways - looking forward to reading your TR to see if we overlap at all while we are there.
D~
Hi D~!! Thank you so much for joining! I'm so very glad that you are here. I've really enjoyed your TR with glimpses of your creativity and talent in the head gear and bags. Marvelous!!
I looked at your "plan" and I didn't see any obvious overlap but we never stick to a plan and this trip was no different.
Thanks again and welcome!
Ha, well that's what happens when you just sit there hitting refesh over and over waiting for the latest Brenda TR to appear. Besides, I've always been a proponent of "rope Drop", so you can get in first, so this was very similar. It's the DIS thing to do. And considering we're already on page 7 (hmmm a possible Frump dethroning in the works), I think getting in first is a prize-worthy achievement!! If I do nothing else in my life, I can still point back to this.
OK, now onto the update. Not for nothing, but I think I have less luggage when I move.
I have to add though that actually I quite enjoyed the Seven Self Indulgent Must Dos, so this is one male reader that was not lost!
Bahaha, I love that voice mail.
AHHHHH, I'm so excited for this to really get going especially since I've had some sneak peeks.
Rope drop!! As Ricky Bobby would say "if you're not first you're last" So see, that worked out!!
Clearly, you need to go shopping for more possession my friend!
Oh, oh, I remembered one self-indulgent item that I actually felt stupid including but you were the impetus. Remember when I asked you about your Canon camera. I had some rewards points to burn so I used them to buy a Canon Elph 330 as my new purse camera since I loved your photos.
Yeah, although I didn't actually record that voice mail message, I did share that in an email with my team/staff.
I am sitting at my desk, with people walking by, wondering if I have finally lost it after 38 years of being here. Little did they know that it is my wonderful DIS friend and her voice mail message about her absence. I cannot stop That is just brilliant, Brenda.
Now, can we get this thing going?
Kathy, you know you shouldn't surf the web while you're working, right? Oh wait, 38 years at a company, you practically own it - you can do whatever you want!!
hang on, patience... I will do another midnight post. I can't get them up sooner since I'm too busy responding to comments. You my friend know how that is.
BLT is our home resort I love it there, although I think our favorite is AKL! We always end up staying there lol! Next month I am doing a girl's trip with my friend and doing a split stay between AKL and BLT! I love the Theme Park View! Nothing like waking up and looking out the window to see Cinderella Castle.
Hi Wendy! Now you're talking! I love both AKL and BLT so for our last two trips we've split stays with both. Two completely different resorts but I love them equally! The first time we stayed at BLT we had a TPV and I opened the curtains and cried! I literally had a moment it was so breathtaking to see that castle right there. Ahhhh... heaven. this trip was a LV so no breath taking views but that was ok since there's a lot of construction going on for the new buses and the GFV.
I am here. Now need to go read!!
Ok, no problem. Come back after you've read because there WILL be a quiz!!
Joinign! Can't wait to hear the details, especially some of the "special events" - love to read those and live vicariously through them
Enjoyed reading your voicemail message as well. Only fun one I ever did was where I made it sound like I had answered the phone but was unable to hear them kinda like "Hello. What? Are you there? Can't hear you ... oh, that's right, I am not there and this is just my voicemail. Feel free to leave a message." Was surprised how many people got fooled by that
Mr. MaxRebo!!! (What's that user name reference? Sorry if that's nosey.)
Thank you so much for joining and welcome! I've seen you around a number of TRs and enjoy your sense of humor!! I'm so glad you are here.
Now THAT voice mail message would fool me. I believe everything I hear.
