I'm not responsible for making anything this Thanksgiving... on the day before we'll have the 10-hour (or more with traffic) drive with 6 people (BIL is riding with us), 2 dogs and all our stuff in the van.

We are going to the zoo. They have feast with the beast and feed all the animals paper mache turkeys. Fun to watch. That's it. I will make turkey dinner on sunday.

I have not told you guys about my first time have I? I always loved Disney and everything Disney and of course as a kid there was no place I wanted to go more than WDW or Disneyland and I wanted my own Dumbo ride just like in the commercials. Unfortunately my parents did not have the money and since Dad was in the Army and we moved all over the place we always spent our vacation visiting family back in Arkansas. When I was 11 my Dad got orders to go to Hawaii and since we were leaving out of LA my parents were going to take a few days and take us to Disneyland. I was so excited. Of course a few weeks later the orders were changed and we were going to Naples, Italy and leaving from Philadelphia. I was one crushed 11 year old.

Of course it was not long after DH ran me over with his bike that he learned about my desire to go to WDW. He jokingly told me within a month or so of dating that if we ever got married he would take me to WDW. When we got married we looked at WDW for our honeymoon but we were poor and it was a bad time. About 2 years later I was looking at taking a trip to the mountains in TN for a long weekend when DH suggested that I start looking into that WDW trip! I was so EXCITED!!!! We booked our trip for December 1999 and it was our "honeymoon" even though we had been married two years already.

DH was not overly excited at first and he thought my planning was kind of crazy but he knew it was a big deal to me. I was actually shaking at the airport before we got on the plane because I was so excited and he would just laugh at me. He was going for me and he really didn't think he would like it. By the end of our first day DH was the one saying We have got to come back!!! I knew I loved him for a reason!!!! I even got my Dumbo ride. I rode by myself and DH got it all on video! It is hilarious. I had the biggest grin plastered on my face and I didn't even care what others thought about a 23 year old riding Dumbo by herself. For that one ride I was that little girl who always wanted that ride. It kind of makes me get weepy even thinking about it. I am such a sap!!!

Becka - you just brought tears to my eyes. I have been having an emotional evening and this just put me over the edge...in a good way.

1. This should ahve been brooken into several post... we are trying to be #1

2. Don't tease us with opening lines like "I have not told you guys about my first time have I"? and then tell us Disney stories, it is a let down....

Um...John1....I think you might be needed at home!

Concerning #2....That was my thought too, but I was trying to be good.



And now, no comments please, I am listening to ABBA. Good stuff! I don't care who ya are!

That sounds like so much fun. I guess I didn't realize that you were going to the parks after the cruise. It is going to be hard to be down there and not go to the parks. I hope the cruise is worth it!

Our last 2 cruises we left right after we disembarked. We were sad both times. We thought that heading back to the park would help dull the pain of leaving the ship!

when I read that first line from Becka - i thought maybe I had entered the wrong board. LOL.

wasn't THAT first time though.

Just tell me that it is not Dancing Queen! That songs drives me crazy! I hate it with a passion! DH loves to torture me with it! That is the song that must play non-stop in that underworld payroll IT deparment!

Every Time by Jessica Andrews here!

I just feel so bad that I caused so many problems not only for me but for many others who had to deal with it today.

Oh Becka!

 

[klineyqueen]

I loved your 1st WDW story! It doesn't matter how old you are when you ride "Dumbo" by yourself! Your story gave me warm fuzzies!

Our last trip in August 2005 was all about Dumbo. He was on the cover of the WDW brochure. Jake picked it up and said "I want to ride him." I booked our trip that day!!! That trip was the first time Jason or I had ever ridden on him! That was over a year ago and Jake had just turned 2 and he talks about Daddy getting enough money to go back and riding Dumbo daily!

 

[pyramid2000]

am I the only one without Ipod?

Don't worry V, there are plenty of us without one.

 

[becka]

V - FFH is a Contemporary Christian band but I don't know if it is an acronym for anything. I just know them as FFH....Brandi, do you know?

 

[becka]

Don't worry V, there are plenty of us without one.

Caroline - we know all about your secret lives. I think this must be one of them since we can't believe you. You probably own every iPod model that exists!

 

[klineyqueen]

I forgot to mention that I bought some Spanx pantyhose on Saturday. $20....they had better be really, really good for that price!

I hope you don't snag them!
