395 days of planning all lead up to this! Sept/Oct 2012

That was such a fun game to watch! So many Jets fans went south to watch it live it sounded like the Jets were at home. I hope that the Wild and the Jets are in the same division next year it would make for a great rivalry.

I guess your Jets fandom won't still be with you come this Suday eh? That's ok I understand.

NOPE! But I do like them We owe them for that 4-1 whomping at home


I loathe the Wild with all my heart. LOVED the Jets fans taking over the arena. Hopefully that realignment goes through!

Loving your PTR. Subbing so I can keep up with it

 

[HeatherLassell]

Have fun! Hope the Jets win!

Thanks!!! We did!

Hi Heather! I'm so glad I came upon your PTR! Your family is beautiful I am a born Manitoban, but have lived in BC since I was 3yo. Looking forward to going back through your PTR to read your updates!

Oh sweet! Thank you so much! I think my kids are pretty cute. Where in BC? I lived in Maple Ridge for a very small period of time before coming back. I always kick myself for that!

YAY FOR THE JETS WINNING! We really needed the Wild to lose for my team's playoff hopes. I was such a huge Jets fan for the day!

WOO HOO!!!!! We had a great game. I had so much fun. There were between 3000 and 6000 JETS fans in the Wilds Xcel center!!!!!! We chanted GO JETS GO so loudly you could hear us on the broadcast!

have you found live 365 .com's mouseworld radio? if not it is amazing! go to live 365 and then type disney world into the search and you'll find amazing radio stations that play disney sounds/music.
It had been invaluable while i'm studying for the bar exam and i love being transported to disney (I'm listening to "laughing place" from Splash Mtn right now )

No I haven't. I will check it out. Sounds like something I'd like to listen to at night when I'm home reading! Splash Mountain is my FAVORITE ride!

I would drive down there again. It was a fun trip! I know eh? I hope so too. The cheers were so loud for the Jets!!!

It was a blast!!!!! And then we beat Boston Bruins the next night AND.....then we beat the Avalanche on Sunday 5-1!!!!!

Loving your PTR. Subbing so I can keep up with it

Thank you very much! I will try to do an update soon.

I found us all cute Muppets shirts to wear on our Disney Hollywood Studios Day! And I bought shirts for me at the Disney Store. The store in MALL OF AMERICA was so amazing. I wish I had more money.

Awesome! We are taking the Columbus Day (is that right?) weekend off and hanging out at the hotel and doing stuff like DTD and sending the little ones on the pirate cruise.

How long as you staying? We're there until October 10th!

 

[Sam33]

I'm not gonna lie...I may have cried after that game.
Hockey is serious business!

*hugs* I understand! Totally! For us having a team back after 15 years was emotional in itself. But the Jets are actually doing REALLY well right now. We're right on the cusp of a playoff spot! We've won the last 3 games in a row! We play Philly tuesday night! We play on Thursday (tampa bay) AND Saturday (st louis)! All home games.

And with the way the rest of the east fringe playoff teams have been awful lately you guys have a great chance! Unfortunately the Avs have been okay all season and are choosing right now to suck while the west fringe playoff teams are winning


Oh well, there's always next year! (yes, I'm pretty much giving up )

Yep, I didn't notice our dates included Columbus Day until after I booked, but no way was I giving up the free dining We're there from Sept 29 to Oct 13 I'm not sure what our schedule will be yet, waiting for the October hours to come out first...

That's awesome!!! I figure the Saturday and Sunday will be really busy since it's a long weekend for Americans. So we're gonna do hotel stuff. It seems like a great place to hang out.

I can't wait for the October hours to come out!!!

ADRs on APRIL 2!!! ahhhH!


OOOOH and it's looking more and more and more likely that the Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast areas in NEW FANTASY LAND WILL be open by late September (soft opening)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't give up! We have been teetering on the edge of a playoff spot for a while. We have to keep winning and the other teams above us need to keep losing. We should be able to count on the LEAFS to do that!

 

[My_Pal_Pluto]

Welcome Back!! So how was the weekend???? Gotta say, I love the hockey banter but BIG skates will be needed tonight to beat my home turf bullies

Well, we made a pretty big trade today and turned down a first rounder in favor of a roster player so it looks like management isn't giving up either! But it's better for my emotional health if I gradually lose hope instead of expect too much and have a major major melt down!


We may all be fans of other teams, but we can all relate with Leafs hate! Bahaha


edit: watching Jets/Flyers while I wait for the meaningful games to start (for my team at least) and you just gotta love that Winnipeg crowd! They are electric. Even on TV!

OMG THEY COULDN'T HOLD IT TOGETHER FOR 10 MORE SECONDS!?!?!?!?!?!?

Man what a freaking bummer!!! And I blame the defense NOT Pavelec. He saved 50 freaking shots on goal!!!

I changed it in the 2nd period but my Jets fan friend was freaking out about one of the Pavelec saves!
The Flyers are contending for the cup this year (if Bryz can get is stuff together) so no shame in losing to them. Just extra frustrating since you were so close!

At least Toronto only got a point as well!

I'm am happy for the one point as opposed to NO point!

If the Flyers play the Rangers at any point during the playoffs, the Flyers are screwed. Muhahahahaha! (That was my attempt at an evil laugh)

That's probably a good plan, but I'm not sure I can schedule two hotel days - my head might explode LOL). It does look lovely there, really looking forward to the pool and hot tub

So, that's my ADR deadline, hey? Good thing our wicked awesome TA will be the one making them while I sleep

I haven't read/seen much about the new Fantasyland areas - no way could I get my boys into a Little Mermaid anything, but I might be able to swing Beauty and the Beast as a "cool macho guy" thing

This off-season I picked the Rangers as my dark-horse for the cup.
I don't think you can call them a dark horse anymore! haha (I'm a genius )

I really don't see anyone beating the Rangers in a 7 game series unless Crosby comes back entirely healthy

 

[HeatherLassell]

I GOT MY SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so if you don't know the story here it is in short so you don't have to go back and look for it!



I wanted the WHITE minnie mouse shirt with the red bow! They had the FREE SHIPPING weekend for Canadians (very rare!) so I bought the shirt and added in some other stuff to hit the $ that would give me free shipping! WELL.....I ended up with all the extra stuff and NO SHIRT cause it was out of stock!!!!! Ugh Disney Store!!! You suck!

Well while I was in Minneapolis I found a cute shirt that was black and just had the red bow. It was really cute and was on sale from $32 to $16. So I grabbed it and a bracelet for my daughter. I get to the counter and tell the CM my sob story about the white shirt I long for. She says "what size?" and I'm like "small just like this one." She goes 'hold on a second I THINK I might have one in the back!!!" OMG! She leaves for a minute and comes out with my shirt!!! lol I've never been so happy for a shirt. AND, instead of $32 it's on clearance for $12!!!!!!!!
