Happy Birthday Avery!!!

Cool that you will be in MK on the 20th too. That is Thomas' Birthday so we will be spending the day there.

How exciting! Maybe we will run into you. Touring plans originally had it as a 5-lowest crowds of the week. Now not so much...

Love the clothes! The girls' dresses are so pretty and I love their animal kingdom outfits. I'm waiting until after next weekend to find some cute dresses for the girls. I've been scoping out my favorite stores. I want to wait until after the holiday because they will be significantly cheaper.

Love the clothes!! I'm hoping to pick up a Mickey hawaiian shirt for Mike when we get to the Poly or at DTD for the Spirit of Aloha show!

We tried a Dole Whip float last year and I wasn't a big fan, but Mike liked it! I like pineapple and I liked the pineapple juice, but I wasn't groovin on the pineapple twist ice cream!

Just got a pm that the other AK customs should be done this week! Gotta wait for those sales. I returned 2 kid t shirts to Kohl's today cause we got some others at the Disney Store on sale. Saved me $8. Make sure you post pics of any purchases.

Thanks, we got the shirts from Ebay. I may just drink the pineapple juice if the twist ice cream is not yummy.

A little vent if you will.....

I started this pre trippie as a place to put all my planning ideas and trip plans. Dining, park plans etc. I also did it because many people in my life were starting to grow tired of hearing about ALL my plans, meets etc. Which brings me to my first vent.
Last weekend I was having dinner with a few friends. I mentioned how I was attending a big "meet" in Epcot. This apparently was cause for concern. "You are meeting peole you met on the internet" "What does Jeff think about that" "My husband would never let me do that' Yes I am meeting up with people I "met" on the interent, Jeff thinks it's a great idea-more beer drinking buddies, and as far as Jeff "letting" me......
Then there is always the $$ question. "Wow that must be an expensive trip" "my family could never do that" etc. No it is really not that expensive and I am sure your family could if that was what you chose to do. Priorities. We save our $$ to travel-it's what we love to do. We have 2 young girls who love princesses, Mickey etc. Who still talk about the Disney Cruise we went on last year at least 4 times a week. Seems like a no brainer to me...And who can put a $$ tag on the memories. Watching them see the castle for the first time, the parades etc.
Thanks for reading, I knew you guys would understand.

I totally understand what you are saying!

It's gotten to the point where I just tell people (especially at work) that I am just going to Florida in May. I get sick of people asking me, "Why don't you wait to go to Disney until you have kids?" To which I reply, "Disney is for all ages...Walt said so."
