Why does drinking always lead us back to Disney? Sept 2017 6/13 update!

This is totally cool. Do you know when this show will air?

I don't.. Not yet anyway.. Once I do you know i will post it!!

They are filming a lot of shows around the area where I work. Last week I could see a little of the filming for a scene in the Empire show. And then I was almost run down by the guy driving Cookie from the filming site. I've never watched the show but I have heard of the Cookie character.

I don't know who that is? Still.. it's really neat to see things filmed isn't it??? Chicago fire and Chicago PD films a lot here!

Im sure nothing is being filmed now this weather is awful!!!
 
BUT i have something for your viewing pleasure! See i didn't totally leave you hanging yet...

I had to cut a TON out since i "sampled" some movie parts in it you tube won't let me post the whole thing.. LOL



:love:

My Mom will be the star of this show.
That's so cool!

Yes for this stupid mistake he now has to miss playing in the homecoming game!

Poor Zach! Bet he never imagined having mom mad at him would make the pain in his knee seem like a mosquito bite!

The kids and i had a long talking in knowing limits and their bodies. They play so many sports and i have to be able to trust them in playing.. if not? NO SPORTS. easy peasy.
Yup, easy peasy!

RIGHT?! when you start you're all "I have over a year to plan this bad boy!" Then, in the blink of an eye it's the night before your ADR day and you still haven't decided where you're having breakfast 3 outta the 5 days you'll be there! I don't have Disney stress or anything... :faint:

Think that is almost every one of us!

I would love to get rid of my cable bill...

I did. Went with Amazon Fire Tv. Just couldn't justify paying THAT much for the cable when there was only 1 maybe 2 shows we actually watched live instead of DVR'ing it any way. with Fire TV and Kodi app, we can watch just about anything about 24 hours after it airs. LOVE IT!

God i love my kids THE THINGS I DO!

They are worth anything aren't they! They put such smiles on our faces. I often find myself wondering how boring my life would be without them.

Look at me! Doing an actual UPDATE ON DISNEY! Not life not my kids.. DISNEY!

What? Are you for reals?
l2Sqj5f7IYVj4sSEU.gif


Looking at the big reveal is TOUGH in how to make it monumental! don't want to just toss them in the car and say HEY WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY.
Boring.
I need to go big or go home.
What else am i going to do with all my free time?!?
Plan

To bad you can't get their principal involved and like, go to the school and have them called down to the office like they are in trouble. Then have the principle say "I called your mom in today because of something we need to discuss. I want to show you guys this camera clip and see what you have to say for yourselves before we go any further, then he pushes play and its the video telling them they are going.. LOL could you imagine, going from being scared crapless thinking they were in trouble to finding out they are going to Disney!
 
Mickey shaped pizzas for lunch!!

MK is ALWAYS my first park day because I just can't wait to see that dang castle and get all wishy washy---so magical :)
 
Rough Calculations:
Chicago to Ky Slugger- 5 hours
Slugger Museum 2 hours?
Lunch 1 1/2 hours This is long only to compensate for bathroom breaks.
I really want to stop at Cavehill Cemetery.

If all this works out....I'll met ya and give you a personal welcome. Cavehill is a beautiful cemetery and not far from the museum.

We'll fly out Saturday for our trip, so you'll beat us down to the world of Pixie Dust.
 
Any ideas for lunch??

What about croquet madams? It's not like BAM Disney, but it's a great sammy, and they're in WDW...

that's almost 24 hours of driving or on the go.... Ouch..

Oye vey! That's a lotta driven in one shot!

I know the room will not be ready yet would like to stop in drop off all luggage and start out.

Oh yeah, maybe you'll get pixie dusted and the room will be ready! I say start in MK, you guys will be right there, literally.
 
Ohh! I hope to see you there! If you DO see our crazy band of morons PLEASE say Hi!!
Where are you going to stay?!? CONGRATS on Booking!!!

--------------------

Hopefully we run into each other! :D The resort is a surprise for right now, which will be revealed in my PTR once I start it. :)
 
I don't.. Not yet anyway.. Once I do you know i will post it!!
Would love to know when the show airs as well.

I can't believe how much of a plan you have for next September.

We are tossing around doing an epic road trip or going to visit. My father in law in 3 months, but no closer to a plan.
 
:rolleyes1I still think you need to stop in Nashville on the way down...just saying...:rolleyes1
 
No we will not be stopping at Waverly Hills Sanitarium.. I do have my kids with me!

If you ever decide to do this (without the kiddos of course), call me! This is on my bucket list!

As for Disney, what about chili dogs like Casey's? Or if you can find Disney shaped chicken nuggets? Use Mickey straws in their drinks.

Which park to visit first? I would say MK just because you're right there at the Poly. Plus, I think MK does the best at bringing the Disney magic to life.
 
If you ever decide to do this (without the kiddos of course), call me! This is on my bucket list!

About the only time it's actually cool to visit is Halloween time. TV makes it seem so much more interesting than it is in person.
 

Hello all!
It's been insane work alone is overly busy. so my mornings have all been work work work and no play
Which makes Mo a dull girl.

After work i am home for about 20 minutes then it's off to the football field from some football and cheerleading.

we get home about 8 dinner showers bed and reenact the same routine over and over.

This is Monday -Friday Friday i get to leave early for Dog training.

Saturdays? Yeah what are those?
Between working job #2 or some even the bulldogs have!
the 17th was the bulldog nation night at a the semi pro team turned out to be one of the best nights!!! way fun and the kids were on a you tube channel.

I don't know how you do it Mo! I'm exhausted just reading about your days!

The 24th? Dog fest with Cesar Milan and son. (the dog whisper from animal planet)
They are starting a new show first stop? Chicago and our little dog fest.

His son is simply adorable. Andre, my new BFF

My Mom will be the star of this show... She is the one kneeling first on the left with her sheltie.

These things are my worst nightmare. People do NOT watch their dogs. and yes there was one UGLY dog fight. the owner was taken to the hospital etc. He is OK. yet i don't know about his hand.

The Bulldogs of course were there and did a cheer for him. (yet he didn't come out of his trailer for it.) Whatever. pre-madonna.
Once i have more information on this i will forward it on.
How cool that your Mom will be on TV! Beautiful dog too, I love Shelties. :) Too bad Cesar missed his cheer...His loss though! I'll be honest, he's not my favourite animal celebrity but my parents watch his shows.


Mondays: once games start usually practices go down to 4 days a week.
Except this past Monday., Peanut has practice ALL WEEK
ya know why?
THIS weekend is HOMECOMING!
yep there goes yet another weekend to this program. Saturday is the bonfire night and Sunday is game day.
I called off form the city job on Monday i will need SLEEP. and well Zack back to the doc.

Oh yeah i didn't mention that one! Zack:
last week at practice A kid fell on Zack and hurt his knee.. It was painful for a few days Tom knew it.
Sunday I was paralyzed with fear as i watched Zack laying on the field. until it occurred to me it was his knee.......... again.
Yep. The kid he was on, did a fast juke which means he is running one way and quickly changes direction. when Zack twisted he hurt the knee again. Needless to say Zack and Tom got an ear FULL. Zack for NOT telling the coaches he wasn't 100% and Tom for allowing him to play as much as he did.

Zack went to the doc this past Monday thankfully all it is inflammation of the muscles surrounding the knee and doc wants to see him again this coming Monday. Yes for this stupid mistake he now has to miss playing in the homecoming game!

The kids and i had a long talking in knowing limits and their bodies. They play so many sports and i have to be able to trust them in playing.. if not? NO SPORTS. easy peasy.
Poor Zack! I hope his knee heals quickly so he can get back in the action.


good with the video's yet we have done it already. So i came her and asked all of you wonderful Dis'ers:disrocks: Which came to the Characters talking to the kids! What a great idea! I really didn't know HOW FLIPPING AWESOME it would be until Li Li sent the video's and threw me into a tailspin of tears!!! OMG THE CHARACTERS ARE TALKING TO MY KIDS!
giphy.gif

Well that did it. I have about 6 videos... Now what do i do with them...

I can't wait to see what you come up with!


Here is what i have come up with in my disorganized head:
Thursday: Sept 7th
Get the kids from school early, tell them they have a doc appointment but we will have lunch first..
Tom will grab them from school I will be sitting in the living room watching Disney you tube stuff (not uncommon.) I will make something Disney related for lunch. a subtle hint of sorts. Come back to watch the you tube videos. Put on the reveal video.
Boop. Done.

Any ideas for lunch??

Pizza with "accidental" hidden Mickeys in the toppings?


Start a magical Birthday celebration!
With the above it would mean we would have to leave Chicago at 9am-- that's almost 24 hours of driving or on the go.... Ouch..
cardog.gif


If 9am is when we start this adventure. What's the point of taking the kids to school?
Kids must go to school... I need time.
Looks like we will be getting into the happy place a little later then anticipated.
Rather leave about 11. Get to KY by 3 (remember time change!) and still see the cemetery! They close at 4:45!
No we will not be stopping at Waverly Hills Sanitarium.. I do have my kids with me!

I just looked up those two places. Both look really interesting! Are there any particular graves you would be going to visit, or just to see the place for its historical value? Older cemetaries are so beautiful. I want to visit Highgate Cemetary in London, but I've never been yet. The carvings are stunning.


Back on track..

We will do a happy dance entering the bubble of pure happiness!
I know the room will not be ready yet would like to stop in drop off all luggage and start out.

Which park to stop at first?!?!
Magic Kingdom!! Always Magic Kingdom for us! I say "always" like we've been a lot, haha! The twice we've been...always MK. We'd been in Florida for 2 days on our first trip before my husband reminded me that there were three other parks that we hadn't seen yet! I would have spent a fornight just in MK otherwise. I was tearing up watching the 45th celebrations, just wishing I was back in the bubble!
 
Mickey shaped pizzas for lunch!!

I was thinking the same thing! AND i know a place who will do it for me!!!

MK is ALWAYS my first park day because I just can't wait to see that dang castle and get all wishy washy---so magical :)

I agree and we will SEE our beloved castle as soon as we walk into the Polynesian! The kids do love MK.. BUT it depends on the ADR's everyone wants to do.. Thinking 50's prime time could be a fun birthday dinner?

If all this works out....I'll met ya and give you a personal welcome. Cavehill is a beautiful cemetery and not far from the museum.

When looking at the map it's pretty close.. have you have been to the troll pub? How is the food? OR do you recommend something better? Sounds good! Always willing for a meet up!

We'll fly out Saturday for our trip, so you'll beat us down to the world of Pixie Dust.

Our friends are flying out on Saturday too!

I would go to MK first since you are at the Polynesian.

All depends on where our companions want for ADR's i DO want to hit 50's and think it would be a LOT of fun for their birthday?? I have no clue...

What about croquet madams? It's not like BAM Disney, but it's a great sammy, and they're in WDW...

Your so sweet thinking i can EVEN MAKE THAT! :faint:

Oye vey! That's a lotta driven in one shot!

It really is... IF we do stop at least it will give us a break! walk around a little..

Oh yeah, maybe you'll get pixie dusted and the room will be ready! I say start in MK, you guys will be right there, literally.

I hope so! it would be a HUGE relief to be able to get all the luggage into the room, unpack then start on our day!
Another vote on MK!

Hopefully we run into each other! :D The resort is a surprise for right now, which will be revealed in my PTR once I start it. :)

A SURPRISE?!?!? ugh.. you can't do THAT to me! as for the PTR?? GET ON IT!
When you do please let me know i will jump aboard!

Would love to know when the show airs as well.

The last i heard it's March! eek! that's a long way off!

I can't believe how much of a plan you have for next September.

Me either.. all thoughts.. maybe nothing will come out of it?

We are tossing around doing an epic road trip or going to visit. My father in law in 3 months, but no closer to a plan.

I would LOVE to just do a road trip, there is just so much to see and do!! Our country is spectacular! But ALL road trips end up in Florida 1600 Seven Seas Drive...

:rolleyes1I still think you need to stop in Nashville on the way down...just saying...:rolleyes1

I know we will drive through.. I just don't know what TIME.

You want epic? Two words, my friend:

Sky. Writing.

THIS.. would be awesome! I think i am spending enough on this trip already.. Plus the video's are flipping awesome.

If you ever decide to do this (without the kiddos of course), call me! This is on my bucket list!

Totally. This is ONE place i have been craving to get into.

As for Disney, what about chili dogs like Casey's? Or if you can find Disney shaped chicken nuggets? Use Mickey straws in their drinks.

Great ideas! probably going to do TONGA TOAST for breakfast. and Mickey shaped pizza for lunch?!? Mickey straws.. We don't have any! Must buy.

Which park to visit first? I would say MK just because you're right there at the Poly. Plus, I think MK does the best at bringing the Disney magic to life.

Another vote for the MAGIC KINGDOM!
You would think that. but in past trips? Epcot has done the most for my kids and Magic!!

About the only time it's actually cool to visit is Halloween time. TV makes it seem so much more interesting than it is in person.

nope. I stay far away when it's halloween time. Just becomes a joke or a circus---I want to go to really see the place and experience it all!!!

I don't know how you do it Mo! I'm exhausted just reading about your days!

Im so tired i don't even know what day i is or month! LOL..

How cool that your Mom will be on TV! Beautiful dog too, I love Shelties. :) Too bad Cesar missed his cheer...His loss though! I'll be honest, he's not my favourite animal celebrity but my parents watch his shows.

I KNOW! I am so happy for her.. She really worked her bum off for all dog stuff!! Awesome for her!
I have a sheltie. but she is a bi-blue. not the sable like my moms! I am not a fan at all..

Poor Zack! I hope his knee heals quickly so he can get back in the action.

He is back in action!!! all is well and he practiced yesterday without any problems!

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

me either..

Pizza with "accidental" hidden Mickeys in the toppings?

Love it.. Using it.

I just looked up those two places. Both look really interesting! Are there any particular graves you would be going to visit, or just to see the place for its historical value? Older cemetaries are so beautiful. I want to visit Highgate Cemetary in London, but I've never been yet. The carvings are stunning.

Just to see it..
Highgate.. OH MY HEAVEN! you have NO IDEA how badly i want to go to high gate!!!! :love:
ohhh my bucketlist is HUGE sadly i cannot plan anything without a trip to Disney! LOL..

Magic Kingdom!! Always Magic Kingdom for us! I say "always" like we've been a lot, haha! The twice we've been...always MK. We'd been in Florida for 2 days on our first trip before my husband reminded me that there were three other parks that we hadn't seen yet! I would have spent a fornight just in MK otherwise. I was tearing up watching the 45th celebrations, just wishing I was back in the bubble!

I do hope you get to go back and SOON! I sit here complaining about $$ i am sure this costs you an arm and leg to go!! :hug:
 
I hope to get here today and maybe do an update.. BUT i highly doubt it. I have LOADS to get done for work and even more pictures to edit!
Hope to talk soon!!!

I did get my FULL DAY OFF.. It was Monday after homecoming. From morning to night i did NOTHING not a dang thing! it was wonderful and i know what all that hype is about!!!

Have a magical day! I would put a fun day meme.. Have no idea what today is...
 
You would think that. but in past trips? Epcot has done the most for my kids and Magic!!

Well then go with EPCOT, you silly woman!!! lol

Mickey straws.. We don't have any! Must buy.

I can pick some up on our trip. A couple of the drinks I want come with them anyway. Just send me your address sometime (no rush obviously) and I'll send them to you.

nope. I stay far away when it's halloween time. Just becomes a joke or a circus---I want to go to really see the place and experience it all!!!

I try to stay far away from anything "haunted" around Halloween for the same reason. I've had one bad experience doing this and that was enough.
 
Just checking back in per your request, my PTR has been started and the resort has been revealed! :D
 
Duh! I forgot your arrival day is THE BIRTHDAY!! YES, you should totally do Primetime for their birthday dinner. We celebrated Rob's there and he got the cupcake, a giant birthday sing along and a card from our "cousins" at the other tables nearby. It was really fun and he was just a grown up. I imagine a triple bday celebration would be even more fun!!
 
Well then go with EPCOT, you silly woman!!! lol

Or HS... I just don't know.. MK is our favorite park by far.. But i think people expect the pixi dust so when/if they do it's more seldom. Where Epcot and HS are more inclined to give out pixi dust?!?

I can pick some up on our trip. A couple of the drinks I want come with them anyway. Just send me your address sometime (no rush obviously) and I'll send them to you.

Seriously?!?! I WOULD LOVE THAT! Let me know $$

I try to stay far away from anything "haunted" around Halloween for the same reason. I've had one bad experience doing this and that was enough.

Exactly. Never go out around Halloween unless we would help Troy out with a tour or whatever

Just checking back in per your request, my PTR has been started and the resort has been revealed! :D

I AM THERE!

Duh! I forgot your arrival day is THE BIRTHDAY!! YES, you should totally do Primetime for their birthday dinner. We celebrated Rob's there and he got the cupcake, a giant birthday sing along and a card from our "cousins" at the other tables nearby. It was really fun and he was just a grown up. I imagine a triple bday celebration would be even more fun!!

Yes it is!!! BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!
Ya think it would be the best for a birthday? Just want to go somewhere they would have the BEST time!!!


Hope you all have a great WEEKEND! I will be spending mine working! Hopefully get the halloween Decorations up??

Now i am OFF to get the rest of my pictures edited AND start planning!!!!
 
When looking at the map it's pretty close.. have you have been to the troll pub? How is the food? OR do you recommend something better? Sounds good! Always willing for a meet up!

I wish you could hear me laughing.....I work RIGHT across the street. Been there many times. They have regular and sweet potato tater tots....what's not to like. It's only about 10 minute or less drive to Cave Hill depending on traffic. Also, there is a BIG troll out front to get your picture taken with.

They have a very large selection of draft beers as well. (Not that you'd enjoy that sorta thing. :rolleyes1)
