Oh the Pressure to do a PTR -- We're Home & Surprise Video up on Facebook

[FauntleroyFAN07]

great news

[afwdwfan]

I'm glad know it was a successful surgery! Wishing her a speedy recovery.

[eandesmom]

Wishing Alisha speedy healing! Glad it went well

[mommy2mrb]

that the surgery is over, sending prayers for great news from the results!

[disneyfan61]

Great news.!!

[emmysmommy]

What AWESOME news!!! So glad that all went well and that Alisha can sport her really cool kitty slippers! What a relief to have that worry behind you and your family.

[Millie12591]

So happy to know your sweet Alisha is doing well and will be able to give you lots of grandbabies!!

Her kitty slippers are beyond cute, love the bright colored flowers too. Those were the same colors I got my sisters graduation flowers in.

[englishrose47]

So Glad Alisha is okay, that's one less worry for you!! Love the way you will let Mark in on his Birthday trip !!!

[Moira222]

Gee whiz, miss 10 days of a PTR and HOLY COW things are hopping here Kathy!

I read up on my nook and can't multi quote -- so my comments are all over the place.

First I LOVE how you're telling Mark. That is awesome. Can't wait to see pictures of his reaction!

I didn't realize that December was your first Christmas time trip. That makes it even more exciting!

Have Imentioned that I am jealous you are hitting my two most-want-to-be-in-Disney times of the year this year? Have twice as much fun for me!!

Serious note --

I am glad that Alisha's problem turned out to be endometriosis -- of all the possibilities, this is the most "resolveable" (is that a word?) and caught early enough (like it sounds like it was) should be no problem for her down the road. Thats worth celebrating!

I do hope you mom is on the upswing now -- I've followed your FB posts to see what's been going on too. I do have your family in my prayers -- you seem to have been hit with a whammy of things.

Poor Cayley!!! She will love the cookies as she is healing - that picture is so sad (and a little mom-humour here as Mary thought to take a picture & send it!)

I'm so glad Tim posted Juliana's photos here (I haven't been over to your TR lately Tim, sorry!) She is so big! and the hair cut is just gorgeous -- how great to do a good deed and look good in the process

Where did you get your ticker from? Is it an iphone app? (i hope not, I don't have an iphone)

You'll be there in a week!!! :b anana:

I think you are right...this is one time I'll really shock him!

I think the EPCOT plans & meals sound great!

And the reveal is just priceless! I really, really love it!!

That's the main reason...to see the decorations and how pretty it is.

I think we'll really love Teppan Edo.

I'm glad you love the "reveal."

Thanks, Glenn. Cayley is doing better, Alisha did great and my mom is progressing.

I can't believe with all your trips you've never been at Christmas time! You are in for a treat.

I really like your idea to reveal the trip to Mark. Kind of a different twist from the usual trick of keeping it as a surprise from the kids.

Nope...in over 20+ trips, we have NEVER done Christmas (we've been there in April, May, June, July, August, September and October..and I've been in January with the girls). I'm glad you like my reveal plans too.

After getting there for Christmas, my last goal is the Flower & Garden; I really don't care about Food & Wine.

Love it! Great idea!

Thank you.

But first, on to Miss Cayley. I saw her picture on FB last night and I feel so bad for her because when Brian was about her age he did the same thing by falling off his bike. Unfortunately, he needed surgery at about 11pm at night because we had to drive him from the Delaware beach all the way to the Children's Hospital in Wilmington for his surgery (he had already been seen in a local ER).

I hope she is on the road to recovery very soon!

On to your update:

I can't wait to hear about Be Our Guest. Sorry that I am missing the opening during my visit. Bummer.

The rest of your ADRs sound great and I think you will have a ton of fun at Teppan Edo. I know you will also love the Christmas party.

I'm happy to oblige with no pictures.

I hear Cayley is doing much better.

I can't wait to see how the party compares to the Halloween one.

Thank you to everyone on the sweet get well wishes for Cayley. She broke both bones in her left forearm. It was a clean break and they were able to set the bones in the ER. She is in a hard splint now until the swelling goes down. We go to see the Ortho Doc tomorrow. She is right handed I expected injuries when both girls started on the competitive track. Just not this sever so soon. She is asking when she can go back to the gym and condition so that is a good sign. We are really hoping the cast can come off before Disney!!!

Kathy she is going to FLIP (would if she could) over those cookies. Sooooo cute!!!

7 days now..one week from today.

It looks like Cayley enjoyed the cookies from the picture you sent me.

I love your new plans, for getting ADR for BoG, can't wait to hear all about that!

what a fun way to tell Mark about his surprise...make sure to have your camera ready!

Thanks for dancing with us. I'm very happy with the way the plans are going for December.

Andy has been told that he or Des has to video it so I can post it here.

I'm hoping for lots of Christmas hat pictures.

Thanks, Camille. Things seem to be looking up somewhat.

Cayley's sweet, sad face is enough to break anyone's heart, God love her! Bless her little heart, she already knows she wants to go back, that's a huge battle averted! Mary, please tell her we're all wishing her well, I'm sure those cookies will surely help!!

I'm ot surprised at all that Cayley already wants to go back.

Wooooo to the Hooooo! Single digit dance, ba-by!!!!




I'm really getting excited all over again.

Your reveal to Mark is going to be perfect! He'll love it!!

I think that's worth another dance!!

I think he is going to fall over in shock at what we have pulled on him.

Okay, I caught up! It sounds like you are really in need of a vacation and mental break. I hope everyone in your life starts turning the corner when it comes to medical stuff.

Hi, Kelly...I've missed you. Thanks for dancing. We're on an upswing...Alisha is doing well, and yes, we need this vacation really bad.

Christmas time at WDW is very special. I am sure you are just going to love it (and the party)

More dancing.

I can't wait to see all the holiday decorations.

Didn't that face just want you to give her a big hug?

Thanks for the dance.

I can't wait to hear about both trips! We've never been at Christmas, and you know I'm dying to hear about BoG!

Thanks...I think it is the best way to reveal to Mark (as long as no one slips prior to it).

We've never been at Christmas either and I'm really looking forward to it.

[KatMark]

Sorry..I have to stop with replies here. I'm off to get my hair done for a wedding we are going to this evening. I'll be back to finish off the replies and will try to do the final December update tomorrow.

I can't believe your DL trip is so soon

Plans look great for Dec.
Via Napoli has not really been on my list for the similar reasons as yours.
BoG pictures are a must.


I love how you are doing the reveal.

I really wish I could eat pizza; I cheat at home, but then I'm home and can be sick here if that happens.

Thanks, Amanda. A week from now at this time we will be meeting TarzansKat for dinner.

What a brave girl wanting to get back to the gym for conditioning. I know Kathy's sweet cookies brought a smile to her face!

She is a trooper that is for sure

HUGE prayers for excellent results for Alisha today and praying for your Mom, Mark's Mom, your brother and ALL of your other unspoken needs!

Thank you; all the prayers worked and Alisha did great

I LOVE how Mark is going to find out about his trip and that everyone knows...except him!

It's been fun keeping this secret.

Now lets dance to single digits!!!

Thank you for dancing with me.

Can not wait to see the MVMCP pics! I may skip looking at BOG pics.. I kinda want to be surprised.. is that weird?


LOVE your reveal idea! Yall are so sweet!

Hope health stuff eases u, hugs!

I'm looking forward to both restaurants. It's not weird at all to want to be surprised about BOG.

Thanks...I'm happy with the reveal idea too

Alisha doing okay eased a lot off my mind.
