My SIL and I will be there. We're taking Wed & Thur for me to show her Paris then checking in to Newport on Friday and flying home on Tuesday. She is doing the half and I will hopefully do the 5k. It's my 1st ever race so praying this old body quits complaining and gets it in gear. :) She's...

My family calls me Julie (cruise director from Love Boat) as I learned from DIS back in '06 how to look for deals & have a great experience on a budget. No gaming the system here, all legit deals & resources only. I learned alot back then and have used that to plan trips for many all over the...

I'll be sure to show her how to get here and help her post very specific questions to get the best possible answers. I remember when I first found DIS in 2005 and all the AMAZING helpful tips on going on a tight budget as well as family ideas (I see there is still a family board - going...

I know I've been gone for a couple years but what on earth has happened here? This used to be the place for all the tips for doing Disney on a budget (go to quick serve by Buzz, order double cheeseburger & extra bun). I'm so glad I checked in before sending a newbie here. She'll never find the...

I just wish I'd remember to shop there more often. I need to get on their mailing list or something so I know when these sales are happening. My DS is 8, but wears a 12 (DH is really tall). I can actually buy him pants at CP in an 8. WooHoo!!!! They last and can pass down to DS 6 and not...

Along the lines of the water bottle, how about those spray bottles w/fans on them? The fan blades are soft foam and the ones I have will stop as soon as I put my finger in it's way. Could keep them cool and occupied at the same time. Dawn

I had never considered a potential allergen. I will rethink the bubbles. We deal with several friends who have severe food allergens and my mother has topical sensitivity to most lotions and dish liquids. It never occurred to me that bubbles could be in that category - DUH! Sorry to all...

Not only did it entertain my two boys (5 & &) but many other children in line as well. I got the small, spill proof containers at WalMart in the summer section and brought a large (1/2 gallon?) container of bubbles for daily refills. I had 2 of the smaller containers so each child could have...

is the name of the scrapbooking store in DTD. I got my Mickey scissors but waited to get home for the paper & stickers. But in hindsight, I haven't found anything like I wanted. So I'll pay another visit in July. Dawn

We're going for a family reunion on 7/23. The other days are on our own. I'm just so thankful we took our first trip last Oct/Nov for 14 days so the boys can just go for their favorites and not the "we have to do it all" mentality. We also got most of the autographs they wanted. So...

Guess I'm just too tired! ROFLOL!!!!!

For the 3 of us, it's much cheaper to drive than fly. It certainly takes more time, but we have the time available. We took our first trip last Oct/Nov for 2 weeks and had the most wonderful, relaxed time of our lives! We got to see every, single item on all the wish lists and still had 4...

DH will be deployed and I'm looking for something to do with the boys in March. I have one in school so I'd be looking at his Easter break week. I'm thinking about 3/13-3/18. We will drive (2 days each way) and already have PAPs. Am I nuts? It has occurred to me that this will be prime...

We're still at WDW, but wanted everyone to know they stopped the rehitching ceremony about a month ago (at least that's what we were told today). They will announce your anniversary, gather CMs together and sing, but that's it. Other than this one glitch, all is going great here! Dawn

Well, I'm a nut! I read every post I could find on autograph books, as well as posted my own questions. I started the quest for a list of characters for greeting and the clipart to match. I deleted some characters because I don't think the boys will be interested. Others were deleted...

I hadn't been paying attention until my mom called and said we're leaving in 8 days! WOO HOO!!! :jumping1: :thewave: :rockband: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

But living here in San Antonio, well, I've had to rethink the material for many items, costumes being one of them. The Buzz costume calls for felt, but I'm thinking a very lightweight cotton. Now that blasted dragon is asking for satin! Yeah, right!!!! Again, I"m hoping cotton will give...

Simplicity has a current pattern that has all 6 princess dresses. Not as elaborate as some, but she'll be able to play with them and that's what I want. What really cracks me up is the pattern retails for about $12 but all stores (Wal Mart, Hancocks, Joann's, etc) sell them for 50% off the...

asked the boys today what they would want to be. Then we looked at patterns. Ian wants a purple dragon (he plays a video game called Spyro) and Jon wants to be Buzz again. So tomorrow we're off to the fabric stores. Oh joy. :) Dawn
