2011/2012 Reunion Cruise?

[BethC1952]

We are on our way tomorrow afternoon to ...

Walt Disney World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We arrive on Thursday and leave on Sunday. I can't wait to see the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. We were there last year and it was beautiful. Nothing like a last minute trip! This should tie us over until we're there in June for Bill's birthday. Bill told me this is my Mother's Day present. He got a really great deal at PO - Riverside ($90 a night). We plan to buy AP while there. So, we'll be back in the AP club again.

Thank you Bill!

There is so much to do ... I just hopped online real quick to stop our mail. So, I thought I would pass along the great news to y'all. I'll report back next week how the trip went.

What a great Mother's Day gift! Have a wonderful time!

There'll be tons of pictures. Jim's Mother's Day gift to me is a new digital camera! I think it will get a REALLY good workout.

I have been instructed to NOT bring my camera on this trip. Bill and the kids refuse to pose for pictures. However, I will sneak it in my purse. I want "some" photographic memories of this trip.

Thank you for the well wishes. Look out Mickey, here were come!

Jennifer

PS - Yes, I have been spoiled having such a "Disney" hubby. I was half kidding about going to WDW this week. Glad he took me seriously.

A few years ago Jim asked me where I wanted to have dinner for my birthday. I told him Boma. He surprised me with a weekend at WDW so that I could have my dinner!

I solved the problem of Jim not wanting to pose for pictures this trip by simply not bringing him. I did threaten to send him tons of pictures every day, though, so he could see how much fun I was having without him.

Don't let them pose just shoot candids. With digital you can take several at the same time and junk the really bad ones.

Angie, it is so great to hear from you again and know all is going well. Life is good.

Life is good! Thank you!

I got a call from Emily's teacher yesterday ... the whole School District is closed this week. I thought the Swine Flu (H1N1) was winding down? I slyly asked Bill how busy his work week is. He can't go away. Too much going on. It never hurts to ask.

Jennifer

Drat!

Yay!!

That is what Dennis says....however, he has yet to junk even one of the "really bad ones", we just have literally thousands of photos from each trip!!

 

[TheTXTaylors5]

We're backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Another magical trip! I'm working on a "mini" Trip Report. More info to come ...

[MrsMork]

Welocme back! Glad you had a good time.

I haven't junked any either. Even the really blurry ones have some value.

Yep, that's what he says too.

Welcome back! I'm sure you had a wonderful time! I'll be heading out on Friday morning for my trip, and can't wait.

As for junking the "really bad pictures"---maybe I should try it sometime. I have more than 30,000 pictures stored. One of my favorite "interesting" pictures is a picture of my thumb, taken from the inside of a mesh bag. I guess I must have snapped it when I picked it up. It took me days to figure out what it was!

Does anyone plan to purchase an AP before July 31st? If so, I have four (4) AP discount cards (10% off AP). PM me if interested. I can put them in the mail tomorrow (no cost to you.).

Someone followed me home from WDW ...

Isn't he the cutest? This was my Mother's Day present. We got him at the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. We had heard about the Mickey gnomes. But, had the hardest time finding one. Most shops were out of them. As we were exiting WS at the International Gateway, Bill popped into the store there and they had only two (2) left. The last two in the park that day. I assume they have more now, but it was a hunt to find them last week. Now, I need to find a safe place in the backyard to place him. For now, he sits on the hutch in my entryway. Cole was the cutest today, he looked up and said "Mommy, a hidden Mickey!" Yes, we've taught him well. He knows what hidden Mickeys are and FASTPASSes (I'll get to that one in my Trip Report. )

Bill just sent me a link he was forwarded...

disneystore.com now sells items you could once only get in the parks or on Disney property (ie: Mickey ears, autograph books, monorail set, etc ...).

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Jennifer

 

[BethC1952]

OK, everybody!

I'll be out of here first thing tomorrow morning, and should arrive at Port Canaveral sometime Saturday afternoon. I have my new camera all packed and ready, I have lots of batteries and three 4GB memory cards. I think I'll have a good time!

I wasn't sure what I thought at first....maybe takes away some of the magic if you don't have to be there to buy this stuff. Then I saw the home decor stuff!! I think this is GREAT! There are so many kitchen items I want, but we can't afford to buy them all when we are also spending $$$$$ traveling. I am happy to see some of these things available!

Well we moved out our house on Thursday, and yesterday I shipped the car. It was a huge relief to get my housing deposit back, as I'd had to put down 6900 Euros!

I leave for San Antonio tomorrow. And then after my course will get to visit Pittsburgh and my new home!

Take care everyone!
