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

Let me start by saying...I am so glad you are back!!!

Oh I have been wondering what my dear Disney friends have been up to and now I can finally read it all! But OH MY am I behind! I was back like 30 pages!
I am so behind in your game.... I'm sorry! I never did see those bags in any of our Walgreens though! So I didn't get to nab them! :guilty:

That's the same thing for my Damien, but he's big enough for most of the stuff at Disney! So I am not sure how he's going to react...... although he's growning faster than the weeds in my garden!

What do the shirts look like that you made? The place I ordered them from decided they did not like my graphics...too close to the real thing, even through they were public domain. So I have tweaked and now I am going to print them myself...that is on my list for next month to accomplish. I love the design but would have rather them been screen printed than a t-shirt transfer...

I love all of this Universal stuff, but Damien is looking on while I am reading through so this is a conversation we just had...... DS says "I wanna go there" I respond, "No we are going to go to Disney and next time we take a trip we will go there" DS replies "That's okay we can just go there we don't have to go to Disney" well I say "sure we do because we boked it already" and DS walks away. DH replies "I knew this trip was for you and not him!" :rotfl2:

MMMM...... I love that double feature of Tom Huck and Song of the South! The cobbler and ice cream looked yummy, but so did the food for the next day! And great thinking for the rafts! The food was pretty yummy, but it just seemed like a diaster of a weekend trying to get the food right...

Was Dopey really supposed to be the apprentice?YES I like Mickey better!
Oh yes I want to join you, I have been trying to get to the pools for an hour a day to swim laps! I should also be walking, but our puppy can't walk yet and chocolate just keeps calling my name! I need someone that I have to account to!
Oh I love my google! :banana:

Awesome job on booking the return flights! I think that I would have made te same choice that you made with my flights! But I'm sorry about your flights going there..... I like the idea that if you have to stay at the hotel to have a birthday cake for Jesus and watch the mass.... maybe see if the hotel has some instruments or their own thing that your kids can participate in? Maybe have them reinact the scene with you guys! If you have to spend time in Houston I have some family there that can pick you up and stay with for a few hours (my little sister is around Ab's age of 11 though). With your options though I think that personally I would go with the SW for the 24th and maybe the church has a church van that can pick you up. I know that a lot of churches have transportation services and they have extras on holidays (you may have to give a donation or something though). Would you believe I am still not happy with the return flight, I am still stalking the flight that leaves a couple hours later...if it drops we are booking! Or if I could just tweak a little out of the budget somewhere else! :rotfl2:

MMMM that stromboli looked good! :love:

YAY double digits--- I couldn't get on the internet for mine, but I was being happy to myself, although I can't let monkey know why I was happy that day because he thinks we are going on Santa's day (christmas day) right after we celebrate Jesus' birthday (Christmas Eve)!
I can make crepes, but where did you get the pudding recipe? Is it sweet? Is it easy to adjust to diets? I used sugar free instant pudding for the filling. It worked great. And easy too

I love these hundred day countdown things! I think that I am going to start doing that as soon as I catch up to everyone else's PTRs and tr's! I am having fun dreaming and planning!!! I keep waiting for ridemax to get the december/january hours up so I can tinker and then give you guys some real plans!

I like the plan that you finally came to! And I think that it will work nice and it's nice not to make the in-laws angry all he time, I mean you are going to be one some day and you don't want to be treated like that! Atleast this is the speech that I tel myself all of the time when I am frustrated with them..... it works around 20% of the time for me to keep my anger and spitfullness to myself! And I like the gifts you got in the mail!

My son's loking forward to the tower of terror as well! I told him about the time that I went on with Grandpa train and he wants to be braver than his Grandpa train!
It's so werid that with every page turn I see my name drop in your game.... Oh man! But are you not taking movie ideas anymore? Yes...I still am taking suggestions...seems Lisa has left for a while and then you were gone...my movie people left me....:rotfl2:

Oh I am not looking forward to that TSM dash either! It's kinda scary to think of it.... but it's one of my DS's favorite movies!
Oh I want to see turtle talk too! I wonder how they pick people to talk to......
I am so sorry that things are not looking up for you... I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! I hope that things get better and always feel free to cry to us.... even when I'm not on to see it right away I will see it! :grouphug:

You know I had dealt with high school drama too between moms the other day. I got to the PTO meeting early to help set up and the moms that run it were kids that were in my son's class last year and are still in his class this year so they were talking about the teacher last year (which I really didn't like and feel that she is not a good person with stress so should not be in a class alone with lots of kids-hey I'm not good with stress either that's why I try to keep myself out of it). But they were talking so masty about her and then during the meeting she walks in and after the meeting I am helping to clean up and they are talking to her like they are all best friends! I was so shocked I had to tell another mom that I have become the closest with (her son was in DS's class last year and this year also but she wasn't at the meeting- she took both boys to soccer practice for me). She said that all moms do that- she promises that she never did that to me though?!?! But she said that all moms get like that and it's just a thing moms have to do? I don't like this way of mom! But good for you standing up to her! I haven't had to yet (thank goodness because again I'm not good with that)! And you aren't going to loose any sleep over anything- now you get to enjoy it instead of stressing over it!

I just don't understand people...I hate being lonely, but I hate the drama even more!
Wooo Hoooo for the F! change!
Okay I am all caught up with you now! I think that I should catch up on Ann's after I let the puppy out!
 
goodmorning.jpg


Hope today and this entire week it going to be a good one!
 
Thank you! I am happy to be back, but it's hard to catch up on some of them!
Oh that stinks about the shirts, but atleast you have an alternative!
LOL oh my, you and Ann and your flights! Just be happy with what you have and if something better comes along be happier for that! But I hope that some thing better comes along your way!
Yeah I don't understand moms now-a-days either! They are annoying to me most of the time the way they stand around and gossip or become controlling! UGh... sadly my son really loves the kids that belong to those moms! So bring on the next movie question- maybe I can try to catch up!
 
Monday's Trivia Question:
In Hercules, Hades promised not to harm WHO provided that Hercules give up WHAT? How long did he have to agree to give up this up for?
 

Thank you! I am happy to be back, but it's hard to catch up on some of them!
Oh that stinks about the shirts, but atleast you have an alternative!

I can't decide if I want to tie dye the shirts (Ab in red and the boys in Christmas Green or just get colored red and green shirts for them?


LOL oh my, you and Ann and your flights! Just be happy with what you have and if something better comes along be happier for that! But I hope that some thing better comes along your way!

I am pretty happy with the flights...except that the return flight departs MCO at 7:45 am...which means a really early Magicial Express pick up. Still toying with the idea of just hiring a car service that morning, if I can't switch flights. Not a big deal....

My issue just became that it was all about her in the friendship and nothing about anyone else. I finally had enough of it and tried to explain my feelings about the friendship being one sided and my feelings being hurt constantly...but she could not see any of my side of the story and kept turning it around that it was me that was the problem. I had enough and walked away from the friendship...no realizing that the mean girl possee she runs would also turn on me too!

It is tough still having to be around all of them, and I have to admit that the little green envy/jealous demon often rears its ugly head...but I am trying just to pray for peace and comfort...
 
Monday's Trivia Question:
In Hercules, Hades promised not to harm WHO provided that Hercules give up WHAT? How long did he have to agree to give up this up for?

Hades promsied not to harm MEGARA (Meg for short) which was Hercules 'trule love' :love: if Hercules would agree to GIVE UP HIS POWERS for ONE DAY!

Hooray for being in the right place at the right time.... and I gotta run or boys will be late to practice... :rotfl:

Meg was not to be harmed if Hercules gave up his strength for 24 hours
 
:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

OMG! I thought I was doing so good. And Amy beat me by one minute!!! She was posting at the same time as me!!!

Fantasmic.jpg


Just scored a better ADR time for F! package on Dec. 29th...now maybe we can see the stunt show and Lightning on the 29th...and the whole streets of America end of the park on the 29th so that when we go back the 5th we can focus on TSM and TOT!

:woohoo::woohoo:

And how bout this for some points...

Meg and Hercules together...

And the voice of Meg was done by Susan Egan. Susan originated the role of "Belle" in the Broadway production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast. She was then nominated for Broadway's 1994 Tony Award as Best Actress (Musical) for that role of "Belle" in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." She has done other singing roles for Disney, including the singing voice of Angel in Lady and the Tramp 2 - Scamps Adventure (apparently Allysa Millano couldn't do the singing part?:confused:)

Tate Donovan voiced Hercules. While I do like his voice in it, my favorite role of his was in "Love Potion #9". :goodvibes

Girls - this ole gal is tired and headed to bed as soon as I hear dear slow poke Erin come out of her bathroom and to her room. ;)

I have admit this was a great food find prior to my first trip. Something about crispy french toast loaded with bananas on the inside (and I am not a huge banana fan, but this works). For those that do not want to use a table credit or need something fast...Captain Cook's quick service in the POLY also sells Tonga toast, but without the strawberry compote.

I loved this place. It is open and you can people watch in the morning...plus it opens plenty early to hope on the monorail and get to MK before rope drop and see the opening ceremony!

A complete breakfast...I am sure Ab and I will share this. I could not even eat half of it when I last went to WDW.

Yummy inside....

A little Strawberry sauce or maple syrup to top it...
 
I was trying to keep track at one point too....

Don't forget I am going to be at POP for two nights (12/9 and 12/10)

I believe Laura is going to be at Pop...

Funny how our dates have all been adjusted since we started our PTRs...we are such good influences on each other. I am about to search flights on SW still hoping that midmorning flight will come down about $40...I doubt it will, but we can hope...I hate that I can put in for 1 person and get the cheaper rate, but when I put in 5 people it goes back up....:confused3

The boys weren't late, thank goodness! And how funny that I finally beat someone in the trivia while posting simultaneously! I'm sorry Ann!:hug: But way to come back with the voices cast, etc.! And a pic! :goodvibes :dance3:

Girls - this ole gal is tired and headed to bed as soon as I hear dear slow poke Erin come out of her bathroom and to her room. ;)

You have that problem too with Erin?

We will be at POR 12/25-12/31. Getting close!

Noelle

Wahoo, I did not realize that our trips would overlap some :banana:...what park will you guys be in 39th, 30th, 31st? I am hoping to nail down our plans a little more soon...waiting on RIDEMAX to get December/January hours in....:mad:
 
The 29th we are going to MK with lunch at Crystal Palace and dinner at Chef Mickey. The 30th we are going to Epcot with breakfast at Akershus and CP package for supper at Le Chef de France. We always leave the last day open to go see whatever the kids choose but probably MK or Epcot. Can't wait to see what you have planned. Not sure what Ridemax is. I looked at TP and everyday was 9-10 so I just booked what I wanted knowing the crowds will just be bad. :confused3:santa:

Noelle
 

Susan (Dec 17-22/POLY)...know you are doing universal before???
[/COLOR]
Dec 16-17 - HRH/Universal (Harry Potter)

I hope we get to try tonga toast too. I have a breakfast ADR at Kona, but I'm thinking of canceling it. Maybe get some tonga toast at Captain Cook's...
 
Oh yeah, and I think I gave up on the game. I can't even bring myself to update my own PTR bc I am intimidated by my need to score over there.
