Oh, John, you are a bad boy.

Did you just now discover this????

Hey Brack.... Good Bobby could go stay with Arlene and Judy for some R&R if you guys meet up....

 

[brack]

Well I finally have "the plan" for our November trip. I think we must be crazy to even consider this especially with the way my two little ones have been acting today but at the same time I am looking forward to some more time at WDW. It will have been almost 2 years since our last trip by the time this November rolls around.

We don't really want to do 2 full days back to back. Daily afternoon breaks with such short park hours don't do us a whole lot of good so we have tried to vary mostly full days with half days so the kids (and us ) can get some rest - with not too many late nights. In addition I have tried to make ADRs for places that we are not only interested in and that hit the characters my kids want to see but that also seem to have food available that will work for my DS's food allergies. We want to see Fantasmic twice during our visit because it is DS's most favorite thing at WDW. Our favorite parks as a family are MK and AK. We also are not scheduling for any of the special Christmas events like MVMCP or the CP. We may try to view the Osbourne Lights at MGM one evening we are there for Fantasmic if we have time.

Becka, I'm glad to see that this time you are being laid back and you've not put a lot of thought and planning into this trip!

Hope you have a great trip!

Both garages got cleaned out....well, almost! My poor old body has muscle aches in places I did not even know I had muscles! We worked from 6 am yesterday until 10:30 last night, with 3 breaks to eat a bite. OY! We had a bit of a struggle sorting thru Dennis' parents stuff again, some tears shed by both of us. They've been gone 10 and 11 years now, but going thru their papers and things was still not easy. But, it's done. We have their things down to a couple of small boxes of stuff that we wanted to keep plus a box of photos. The rest is going into the yard sale in 3 weeks or we trashed it. The HUGE dumpster is full, DD2 cleared out the storage room, her room and they storage shed, with the help of 3 friends. We just have to keep our eyes on the prize...retirement, traveling to see our friends, and going home to Montana. Lots more work to do first though. We have spent way to much time playing the last few years, so now it is time to pay the piper.

Marielle, Dennis did get rid of LOTS of stuff! Not only his years collection of magazines, but he also tossed an Olivia Newton-John 8 track in the dumpster! Whoa! Big steps for him this weekend!

This is cute. I saw it on another thread.

Hey I resemble that remark! I actually think there is probably some kind of medical term for my particular disorder. Don't make fun of those with ODPD - Obsessive Disney Planning Disorder.

And I think I have been much more laid back. Do you see a list of attractions or a touring plan above? Just days/parks and some ADRs. Any less planning and I might just pass out.

I bet my twin had a plan as well. We will have to ask her when she gets back. Right now I am just not liking her very much because I am jealous.

Morning all!

My SIL is auditioning for DCL entertainment next month in LA.... Crossing fingers that she gets it. I think it would be fantabulous. I think she'd make a good Pocahantas, but she'd do fine as a chorus singer/dancer. She's currently a starving actress in LA and thinks she wants to do film/tv but I think her strength is in musical theatre, as she has a strong voice. If she gets it, I am assuming she'll be contracted to something fairly soon.... which means we might have to book another cruise, hee hee!

Annette and I still have "Good" Bobby here in Baltimore. We're taking him with us to WDW this week. Pictures to follow.

So that Bobby will be on the EB PC repo with us.

That is funny! Guess you have to explore a bit to find it!

How could I make fun of someone who has the same disorder that I have?

Today I have been putting together all my printed reservations, AP's and other things in my plastic folder for our quick trip to WDW on Wednesday.

I just told Annette that I made a "slight" error ...... our flight is not at 10:30AM on Wednesday

It's a 8:15AM!

Oh well more time at the MK!

They tell me that it is off the new bike trail. That's why I haven't seen it. I'll look for it in December.

Brack, you still have to post those scrapbook pages for us to enjoy while you're gone.

I'll try today.

 

[87Heel]

I'll try today.

Thanks!
And don't forget to check in on the baseball Heels while you're at the World. They defeated Western Carolina today to win their region, and advance to the Super Regionals next weekend.

I was too shocked to respond to this travesty.

Total accidental !

The best kind!

The WB repo cruisers are very laid back (lots from California) . . .

Never get too excited about the 's.

Last week I got #18000 by posting the last 10 on my own - - I counted 'em down (and it was not some ungodly hour either). Angie came in at the last minute, but too late!

 

[brack]

These are done badly; in a hurry and I will scan them better when I get back.

I really liked the cover. Annette had it embossed.
