Looking forward to it!!!

Sorryy... I'm taking forever!

Just jumping in to say hi!

HI!!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi, hope things are well!!!

 

[JenAusty]

I am soo sorry everyone for taking FOREVER to update! I can finally give you a quick update on everything.

First off- the vaca date change- well my DH turned down the new job because it wasn't what he was looking for and since he had other opportunities coming- he decided to just wait it out. So for now- the trip is still the same. sorta.
So you know how I told you about NWA changing our flight and then we had to cancel- well I finally was refunded and then I was waiting on DH to figure out what he was doing to rebook it. Finally, he decided and so I rebooked the flight through airtran- nonstop in the morning on May 18th. I got the flight for $80/person.. not to shabby! I was excited it was so cheap with how close we were.. well guess what? DH just found out that he HAS to work on that Monday now- so we have to leave Monday night- like originally planned.. it sucks because the night flight is $80/person- which is good- but to changea flight its $75 a person- so pretty much we are going to pay like $155 a person instead.. sucky! So I told DH to check today and make sure-- he can have the other days off for sure.. and I told him to put it for it! I hope we don't have to change it AGAIN! and here I thought I was getting a better deal, a better flight, and getting 1 more full day.. NOT!

But on a good note- I finally did some shopping!! (YAY I'm like everyone else now!! hehe I was really getting jealous there.. )
So some of the stuff I bought was 2 pairs of shoes- both comfort shoes. One pair is sketchers.. they are cuter in person.. they look like velcrow flats on my feet and I LOVE how they criss-cross.

The other pair- well I seen these for $7.99 on clearance.. my DH said.. no wonder they are on clearance.. hehe but I liked them because they are pink, and jelly feelings.. they are soo comfy. I prob. won't wear them much but they were originally $40.. I got a steal.. plus, I think they will look really cute with a bright pink shirt. Now I am at school and can't find them online.. I don't remember the brand- so i'll take a picture and show you later.

Then the other day I was searching Wall-E Iron ons to make shirts for DH and I.. I found them online at joanns I think.. so on Saturday- I stopped there and guess what?! Found them.. surprisingly that was the only disney iron like that at all.. I was thinking- I'm excited I found these- but how are they only going to have Wall-E of all the characters they could have.. hmm.. but here they are.. (DH picked his out)

After I purchased these- I found a WallE & Eve shirt online at Hot Topic.. but it wasn't in the store near me. I was kind of mad- oh well.
I also seen the deal disneyshopping.com has with buy one get one free.. so I went there and found DH the Mr. Incredible one I liked the most.. but of course no ones for me.. so idk what to do. do the deal or not. hmm

Then I purchased some disney nailart! I just chose the simple mickey heads and of course the Wall-E ones.. I was surprised to find. I'm still debating on buying the "minnie kissing mickey", tinkerbell, and a few others.. but I don't want my nails to look gowdy.. but I figured it will make my nail art easier on my madre!

By the way.. I got those on ebay.. if anyone is interested.

Lastly, I purchased a new picture card for my camera.. since the only one I could find hold like 20 pictures.. hehe The one I purchased I got for $15 and it usually goes for at least $30.. I was happy. I love finding deals.. if you haven't caught on- I'm a bargain shopper hehe I don't remember what size it is..

On other disney notes, my DH informed me the other day that we have to eat at the Rainforest Cafe in AK or else he's not going.. haha. I said-"Sorry were all filled up" and then he said "well I 'm not going then" (kidding around obviously) and I said "why didn't you tell me that when I asked you which ones you wanted to go to?! Instead of saying I don't care?" hehe This was when I thought we were leaving Monday morning and figured we could fit it in the first day.. idk what I'm going to do now.

Now that its getting down to like 1 month less than a month in a half. I think I am going to start focusing on the attractions I want to go to for each park.. and post them here.. we will see!

Hi, hope things are well!!!

Yes, they are good! I have just been to busy to post.. sadly. Thanks for checking up!

Those shoes and the nail art are so cute! The shoes look comfy!

 

[xoktenox]

yay for an update! things are crazy over here right now with school and everything, i cant wait for it to be doneeee!

cute shoes! i have ones really similar to those, they're skechers too, and they give me TERRIBLE blisters. like i wore them to walk from the parking lot to one of my classes last year at school and got a blister. i have really narrow ankles so that might be why but if you're planning on wearing them to WDW make sure you test them out first!

glad you didnt have to change your trip date but that stinks about your DH's having to work! you're lucky that airtran only charges you $75 a ticket to change...we paid $100 a ticket through delta! we ended up paying close to $500 round trip for airfare because of having to switch dates! i'll keep my fingers crossed that your DH gets off from work!

Thank you- I figured it was easy.. but couldn't figure it out! I swear I'm usually good with websites and stuff but dis confuses me sometimes.

Thank you- they actually are really comfy.. and my feet can breathe.. so its nice! =D Cause I'm not really a show person.

They are comfy and haven't caused blisters. I decided it was ok to wear them before disney- this way I can break them in.. and surprisingly.. the first day I wore them they only made my ankles sore a little.. that was it. The next day they were fine.

Wow.. I'm glad I don't have to pay that either-- but I might if DH doesn't hurry up and fidure everything out.. prices on flight could go up! EKK!

I love your finds!

Great choice on the shoes; I have a pair like that, except mine have a pattern on them. They're beyond comfy!

I think I seen those online when I was looking for a picture of mine. They were cute. I also think they are VERY comfortable and cute. I love them.

So my DH told me this morning that he can't have the Tuesday 18th off of work.. SUCKYY.. which means that we will arrive on Tuesday at night instead of Monday morn. It's only 1 less day.. but I'm pretty mad about it. I hate his work and there stupid rules. Now since, we have 1 less day and the first day was suppose to AK.. I have to rework everything. I am going to try and keep some o the days the same- so the dining resses stay the same. I hate to make NEW resses right now because they are probably all booked up.. So instead of 8 full days.. to 7 full days.. its 6 full days. It just keeps getting shorter and shorter. So tonight I have to change my flight time.. and pay money to do soo. .grr. But I was thinking it will be 1 day less of tickets and dining.. so maybe I'll get some type of refund and if I do- I'll put it towards a cake or something. hmm.. Well this is all I have for now.

Ugh, stupid work! It always gets in the way.

 

[xoktenox]

[HeatherBelle614]

Work is el dumb. Mine looks to be getting in the way on the day I can make ADRs. What are they THINKING??

Well.. we booked our new flight.. I was pretty mad because we could of arrived there by 9pm BUT that was through delta.. and since my original flight was through airtran.. we would only get a credit- not a refund. So we had to book through airtran. The only departing time they had was leaving at 3:30 or 7:15.. so we had to choose 7:15. Oh welll hopefully the wait for ME won't be long- hehe! I have just one questions- Has anyone (recently) used ME and the luggage drop off for an arriving flight past 10? Because when I originally called in like Jan. they told me that even though ME closes at 10pm- they will stay open if someone arrives and they still do luggage and that my luggage should be there within the hour we arrive at hotel. BUT I just read somewhere.. can't recall right now.. that ME changed there rules- that any flght arriving past 10pm- can't do the luggage delivery to room- they must pick up there own luggage and then go to the ME desk? Do you know anything about this? When its taking place?

Here is a picture of my pink shoes.. I talked about the other day but didn't have a picture.

I loved this picture.. because Maggie was bring annoying and wanted attention and she ended up in the picture.. shes soo cute. i love her.

Also, since its like 1 month and 15 days away.. I know seems far away... but I always start packing early.. So now whenever I buy stuff- I slowly add it to my little luggage bag.. hehe

So far I have a waterproof digital camera, my mickey bag, the iron ons, my nail art.. hmm

Here's a random pic of Mags. Her first spring pic of 2009- being 1 yrs old!

So today, we took my DH's siblings to a historical museum.. it was a lot of fun and they all loved it suprisingly.. here's some pics.
His bros. in the mine..

(Can you tell which one was the obnoxious one ALLL day.. hehe

Mee..

Me and Gracie-lou!

and I just realized.. I didn't get any of my DH.. hehe oh well.

Lastly, HERE is my NEW updated schedule. It's pretty much the same.. but the FREE day is no longer free- its AK day.. I tried really hard not to change the ADRs because I know it would be hard to get the timing we would want. So on AK day.. things are a little hectic.. and we end up going to MK in the morning for breakfast on a day we are going there-and we are going to MK twice... but oh well. DH said its ok.. soo its ok. hehe Here it is..

Thanks! I actually forgot about that!! and I was rereading the disney book the other day and read Pinocchios to see if it talked about the seating and it didn't even mention it! hehe
