I have set up a group photo account at snapfish.com. Everyone can upload to their own album and everyone can order prints from it.

Great idea Lisa!!

Great idea Lisa!!

I will put sending out the email invites to everyone in the group on my to do list.

 

[DrHug]

ROFL! I just caught the same thing!

LOL.. Well, er uh, feathers....I meant feathers. I don't think Walt would have replaced you John, but..........well, you never know!

Whew! That's great. Now I am off the hook!

Dennis . . . Should I be glad Walt's gone and I won't be replaced?

John1

You are so bad!

 

[pyramid2000]

Too much stuff to do. Hopefully I will have lots of reading when I get back on tonight!

 

[DrHug]

You are so bad!

Yes he is!

That's why we never took our kids there! I didn't want Walt to know I was a father. Wait....I didn't have any kids yet, did I? I guess That's why I wasn't replaced.

 

[DrHug]

Well, Pirate costumes are packed! That's all we need.

 

[DSharpe]

DH hasn't ever said a word about what I have packed. He may have wondered about all of the princess dresses last cruise...there are 6 of them...but seeing DD's face when she got her picture taken with them in costume made him thankful that I did. We drive down & pack a seperate bag to take into the resort with us so that we don't need to mess with the cruise bags. The WDW bags get left in the car while we are on the ship. Maybe it is because this is #4 but I go in expecting at least this....

DH 1 large bag
me 1 large bag
DS & DD 1 large bag
shoes 1 med bag
2 garment bags with dresses each night for DD & me and suits for the guys
2 carry ons (at least)
1 toiletry bag
1 backpack per kid with stuffed animal, blanket, & school work
1 rolling soft sided cooler

I will also have that huge Target bag with the stockings this time. IDK if we are going to take the stroller or not this time. If the kids fall asleep before dinner, DH can just run down to GS to rent one, though it does help with putting everything we carry on someplace.

I've started pulling everything out and packing, too.
I see you're taking a cooler - I wondered who all was doing that and what they are taking on in it??

Just curious guys . . .

We have talked an awful lot about photos, but just wondering if anyone is really into video? I am debating whether to take my camcorder too. There are two problems with the camcorder.

1. I cannot operate two cameras at once. Amy will do it for me, but it annoys her.

2. It annoys me to do it too. Somehow when I have the camcorder, I feel "left out" of the action, and it feels like I have some kind of job to do taking footage. Ruins being "in" the experience for me. I don't feel that way with my still camera.

I was erasing stuff off of the computer yesterday and found my iMovie of my stills from our last Disney vacation, and then found out I could export it to my iPod! Whooooo hooooo!

iPod+iMovie= GREAT!

John1

Hi John -
I'm debating this, too. and another thing...I have Never looked at our tapes!! I thought it would be cool to tape my parasail, but I'm just not sure if I want to bother with it at all.

John,

PC guys carry tripods because of their bigger equipment and bigger bags!

Sounds like a personal problem again Dennis . . .

Remember, it is not the size, but the magic inside . . . and the operator!

We have someone staying at our house while we are gone as we usually do. He is JoJo's "babysitter". The DISDog has never been boarded while we go away. I quess we are just too protective over him. Sad huh?

We used to board but have since found a fabulous dog sitter who loves the dogs as much as her own... I have to call and leave her a message tomorrow about Ernie -- she is on vacation till the 30th...

I think dogs are so much more comfortable at home -- it's stressful enough for them when you go away... plus for us with 3 dogs, it was cheaper to have a dogsitter than to board.

Believe it or not, I still have WDW ticket coupon books from my first trips to the World. And there are still E-Tickets left over. I could have rode Pirates Again!

Wow. I bet there are not many E tickets left out there. We always used ours.

 

[RealMickey]

Well, Pirate costumes are packed! That's all we need.

Arghhh, Right you are matey!

 

[RealMickey]

Wow. I bet there are not many E tickets left out there. We always used ours.

It's funny, I have at least one ticket each of A,B,C,D and E in the coupon books. I apparently was not into commando park touring back then.

By the way it was 1976, and an adult ticket book was $7.25, and a junior ticket book was $6.75.

The tickets are now one of my favorite WDW souvenirs.
