There's no time to slumber we're going back in November! we came we saw and started a TR for it all!

[Clio]

You're so lucky to have a Disney store outlet near you. the closest one to us was is Grove City PA and they closed it. You really did good shopping there.
The Easter egg war looks like a lot fun.
Glad to see that the November hours came out.
Sorry about that person in your class there always seems to be someone who thinks he knows more than the teacher.

November 20th Friday:

I left you all off at us being at the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party on the 19th.
Today means one thing..


A.




Day.





Off.





After running the parks for 6 full days early mornings and late nights. we deserve a morning off.
Wake up whenever. the kids will have breakfast in the room..
probably a fort or two will be made:

Craziness will ensue



OR if they feel comfortable enough to walk over to landscapes of Flavor they can. (i highly doubt it)


IF weather allows head on over to the pool. I WILL be taking a walk around the resort... We missed tons of it last time.
Lunch at Landscapes of Flavor OR the drop off pool. my mouth is watering for one of these babies



YUM!
a relaxing kind of day:



i will be taking video this time around to show you the music under water!!!






Kind of interested to see if time goes under a little more then this:


I get to see my friends:


after a day of pool play and relaxation it will be time for our ADR. This is the ADR i was looking for opinions from you all...

We all sat down to talk about the one last ADR we needed - the list was:

Beaches and Cream
O'Hana Dinner
Cape May
Raglan Road
Coral Reef
1900 Park Fair
Rose and Crown

You know my family.. They needed visual. Off to youtube we went.
the end decision? Drum roll please:

Rose and Crown.
I was shocked too. We will TRY for illuminations seating but i am not holding my breath. Hang out in Epcot for a while then hit the hay again!!

There might a drive over to DTD? all depends on weather and what the family decides.

Now that the hours are out.. it really hasn't changed my mind a whole lot.. Josh's recommended days are not what i picked.. again. yet i am waiting for his write up about November.. Also waiting on the discounts to come out that will change the crowd calendars. i don't like that.. I really like my crowd levels of 1..

I really need to book my flight HOME from Maine soon too.. probably today.. I don't see them dropping at all. it is what it is.

GOOD NEWS! today marks 3 more payments on my beautiful car. Yep the battleship is almost MINE MINE MINE!
VERY EXCITING STUFF HERE!!


I did NOT take pictures of the stuff we bought from the outlet store.. YET most of it was in the wash or scattered today! after this place i have a full day off! No Job 2 (well i am a call-in)no baseball/softball nada! YAY!

I am still working on my excel sheets getting them organized for the trip. getting the music together for the drive.blah blah OH and making another movie. 2 actually. One for the entire trip in Sept- BIG JOB this is- and one of the video's taken from several different devices needs to be pieced together for a full movie..

Oh yeah.. We will most likely be driving. Since i would rather fly IF we do go to Disneyland in January!

I KNOW i have more to update... but i am mentally no in today... Out of body be back in.... well probably never.

Hi Liz!

thanks! a good shopping day is always an accomplishment!!!

Yes the hours were a huge reliever!

Tomorrow is a another day.. I will be interested to see if she comes back?!?!

 

[KatMark]

I LOVE your down day. And I'm really shocked by Rose & Crown too. But we love it there...so, so good (be sure Tom tries the beer or scotch flight and the scotch egg).

on only three more car payments. It is so nice not having a car payment.

 

[Elevationist]

Hooray for a day off! Good for ya'll taking some time to slow down and chill out! And you're making me more and more excited for AoA!

I think you'll really enjoy Rose & Crown! And hope you get some pixie dust for a good table!

Looking forward to the Sept. 2014 movie (assuming you'll share it with us)!

 

[deedee2177]

Ok, I'm all caught up!! So, we will be at the MVMCP on 11/19 as well (are you stalking me?) We still need to make some plans to meet up for our tie-dyed cheesecake date!

BTW...why does your countdown ticker say 8 months and my says 6 months, 4 weeks and 2 days?

Mo's says 6 months and 29 days, to me!

 

[deedee2177]

Mo's says 6 months and 29 days, to me!

Strange! This is what I see:

Who knows! As long as Mo knows when she needs to leave and when to show up for our Cheesecake Date...I'm good!

That's what I see, too. It's a 6, not an 8.

 

[deedee2177]

I guess it would help if I put my glasses on!! LOL LOL LOL! The 6 looked like an 8....LOL!

 

[Elevationist]

I figured it was something like that!!!!

 

[DMGeurts]

for a day off!!!! It sounds like a fun day... I love days off and resort days! I've missed having them with our last 2 trips, and I am so looking forward to our November trip for just this reason. Sleeping in... Pool time... Enjoying the resort... Mmmm... It's so nice!

Rose and Crown huh? I"ve always wanted to eat there - I haven't yet though. One of these trips I will. It's not real high on my must-do list - but it's on it for sure. YOu guys will have a great time.

Yes, you can't live in Maine forever... I am certain your Midgets would object. And you are supposed to ride home with me anyways - remember? Soooo beyond excited for our Maine trip!!! It's gonna be a blast!!!

And yay for paying off the Battleship!!! So excited for you for this - because I know it means more Disney!

Love ya girl!!! Mean it!

D~

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Your day sounds great! I can't wait to hear about rose and crown. We were going to try it last trip but it hit changed for some reason.

 

[CaseFace5]

A relaxation day sounds fabulous! I really wish we had worked that into our day but we didn't.

 

[JKeenz]

Agree that the resort/pool day sound awesome! We have one planned, but after only 3 days of parks... so we will be hanging at the resort on Wed 11/18.

Not sure I could handle 6 days straight of park touring before needing a break... I'm tired just thinking about it!! But then, I'm tired thinking of a lot of things you do! 3 jobs, 3 kids, all your awesome creative family activities... I hope I'm not a boring Mom as my son gets older!

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Rest day is a great idea! There's so much to do that's not at the parks.

 

[Chicago Mo]

I LOVE your down day. And I'm really shocked by Rose & Crown too. But we love it there...so, so good (be sure Tom tries the beer or scotch flight and the scotch egg).

on only three more car payments. It is so nice not having a car payment.

How are you feeling? Hope the headache is going away??
I try to ALWAYS plan a down day it just never happens... Crazy family of mine.. I was shocked by the Decision.. OH i am sure there will be flights going on!!! He can have the scotch egg.. I will make him get it. Per you!

Hooray for a day off! Good for ya'll taking some time to slow down and chill out! And you're making me more and more excited for AoA!

I'm tellin you i LOVE AoA. So bright and fun. so much to do around there. Can't wait to GET THERE!!!

I think you'll really enjoy Rose & Crown! And hope you get some pixie dust for a good table!

thanks! i hope we do.. But if it doesn't happen well. no big deal!

Looking forward to the Sept. 2014 movie (assuming you'll share it with us)!

Of course! I just need to sit down and get it done!

Ok, I'm all caught up!! So, we will be at the MVMCP on 11/19 as well (are you stalking me?) We still need to make some plans to meet up for our tie-dyed cheesecake date!

Totally am... I love stalking..
we do.. i want to walk over to you just need to figure it out. the Dis meet ups will be a whole new update!

BTW...why does your countdown ticker say 8 months and my says 6 months, 4 weeks and 2 days?

i dunno.. I see a 6??

Mo's says 6 months and 29 days, to me!

OK im not crazy... well.. as for seeing a 6

Strange! This is what I see:

http://www.**************/id/1447484415.jpg

Who knows! As long as Mo knows when she needs to leave and when to show up for our Cheesecake Date...I'm good!

6 months and 26 days...
I want a new ticker.. this monorail doesn't move

That's what I see, too. It's a 6, not an 8.

I guess it would help if I put my glasses on!! LOL LOL LOL! The 6 looked like an 8....LOL!

I figured it was something like that!!!!

for a day off!!!! It sounds like a fun day... I love days off and resort days! I've missed having them with our last 2 trips, and I am so looking forward to our November trip for just this reason. Sleeping in... Pool time... Enjoying the resort... Mmmm... It's so nice!

i always plan for a day off.. it just never seems to work out that way.. This family is all about GO GO GO! NOT this day. I want to enjoy the resort a little more

Rose and Crown huh? I"ve always wanted to eat there - I haven't yet though. One of these trips I will. It's not real high on my must-do list - but it's on it for sure. YOu guys will have a great time.

I am sure we will.. it's different for sure especially for my clan.

Yes, you can't live in Maine forever... I am certain your Midgets would object. And you are supposed to ride home with me anyways - remember? Soooo beyond excited for our Maine trip!!! It's gonna be a blast!!!

i can't?!?! Damn i thought i was going to be purchasing that cabin in the woods?!?! D- the dream killer.
the midgets can come.. there is a lot of room in that beautiful---- outhouse...

So am i.. I cannot wait to get away for a while and hang out with again!

And yay for paying off the Battleship!!! So excited for you for this - because I know it means more Disney!

I am BEYOND excited to get that thing paid OFF!!! I cannot believe i will not have a car payment.. i have had car payments for as long as i can have been driving..

Love ya girl!!! Mean it!

D~

I Love you!!!!

Your day sounds great! I can't wait to hear about rose and crown. We were going to try it last trip but it hit changed for some reason.

Yes it is going to be exciting to go somewhere new and really out of the norm for us!

A relaxation day sounds fabulous! I really wish we had worked that into our day but we didn't.

silly chick! you always plan for it.. it just never works out that way..

Agree that the resort/pool day sound awesome! We have one planned, but after only 3 days of parks... so we will be hanging at the resort on Wed 11/18.

People pay all this money for a Disney resort and never spend the time enjoying what it has to offer... I try too..
11/18... Where will i be?!?! ohh yeah Poncho day... Epcot. we are going to have to swap cell phone numbers... once we are there i need help in my stalking abilities...

Not sure I could handle 6 days straight of park touring before needing a break... I'm tired just thinking about it!! But then, I'm tired thinking of a lot of things you do! 3 jobs, 3 kids, all your awesome creative family activities... I hope I'm not a boring Mom as my son gets older!

eh.. I am positive my days will be switched around A LOT once ADR day gets here.. nothing ever works out as it's planned in Disney.. before ADR day
it's pretty slow right now. once all the baseball and softball is in full swing <--- see what i did there?!?! I'm funny...
i will be out of my mind running all over the place! activities.. crap. I have to figure something out for Sunday.. Thanks for reminding me!

Rest day is a great idea! There's so much to do that's not at the parks.

I agree like i said above.. People spend all this money to stay at a Disney resort yet never take the time to really get to play around in it! The day is ours!!! carpe diem

 

[Chicago Mo]
