2 Castles, 2 Send out 2011 & Ring in 2012...12 Days of Christmas

[swwake]

Ok we'll have to check out Ridemakerz. Haley (my niece) wants to go to DTD because she says she's never been (she may have been, but doesn't remember). So we'll make this part of our browsing while we're there.

Hi Friend! I'm all caught up again... don't even know where to begin... but your movie nights are awesome - loved the haunted mansion night! And the shirts you got at the Disney store are great! I've been eyeing the one you got for Ab for Erin. It looks so cute!

And love the Halloween costumes! And I love that Ab is a writer! That is a 'hobby' of mine and I started that probably around her age... wished I had more time for it now and would love to 'be published' someday! As for the gorilla/zookeeper costume... WOW!

On a sidenote... I've been trying to 'find' you and Ann and everyone on facebook!! HELP!

 

[annmarieda]

I wish I could tell you to stop... but I can't judge you. I am always trying to tweak my plans...

Ridemakers looks perfect for your son. I am glad they have things like that. I mean...all the princess stuff... there has to be stuff for boys too.

I think it will be fun...I am not sure if they will still be in the same location (near DisneyQuest) or if they have moved more towards Rainforest Cafe Area. If I remember correctly there were vintage cars in the store too!

Ab is so talented at writing, but she has convinced herself that you can't earn a living writing so she does not put much heart into it outside of assignments.

That gorilla/zookeeper was almost the death of me...but it sure was cool! He had been wanting that costume for years and I finally broke down...it was his last year of bragging rights at his school...he had won every year so we decided to do it up big.

I am no good at finding people on facebook, apparently I have mine set so you cannot search me and I can't figure how to change it. PM your full facebook name and I will try to search you. Now that the cat is out of the bag with Erin...maybe you can join the December group.

I love that Mousekeeter shirt too...and it is so soft. I sure hope she likes it. I am thinking everyone but Jeff wear Mickey shirts one day at MK.

Only if I had a little princess...have been trying to get Ab to agree to BBB...no luck At least the boys will have fun! And she hates to shop on top of it...hmmm what are we going to do while the boys spend hours in ridemakerz?

I have to look up that movie (the flowers one) I have never heard of it! Where is the Ridemakers located? Damien might like that! And I agree there is so much for the little girls... I wish I had one that I could take to the fun things! I've showed video to Damien and asked him to do it... it's a no go

I wonder why these dates do not match with what I am finding....UGH the confusion of it all...I am going to stick with the conservative dayes (yours) and continue my planning.

Do the Holidays Around the World in Epcot usually have the same schedule every day?

46. Date with my dh at Yachtsman

I have reworked the ADRs so that dh can have a nice late meal at the Yachtsman. I am going to keep this a secret from him and surprise him with a nice steak dinner. He has been wanting to go to Ruth Chris forever and I just could not make it happen the first part of our trip. Ab watches the boys all the time, so I am sure that we will not have any issues...and it might be nice to have a little downtime in the hotel room after 6 days of running! We very rarely have date nights with each other, so having one on January 1, 2012 might encourage us to have nights to ourselves a little more often!

 

[lovethattink]

Sounds like a great date night.

Mr. Potato Head: Laser envy.

Mr. Potato Head: Hey, Hamm. Look, I'm Picasso!
Hamm: I don't get it.
