You know I am all about the souvenir shopping lists! That is one of the few things I managed to do this weekend! I may end up forgetting toothpaste or my pajamas, but I will have my souvie list!

 

[TarzansKat]

I to your Mr. Potato Head box stuffin' prowess. Seriously, I need to take lessons from you. I remember that from your last report.

What is Oso stuff?

 

[jenjolt]

I totally have decided it is time for me to invest in a Mr. Potato Head...which means I'm going to go to Wally World and buy one and then I'm going to buy me an entire box of parts at DTD! I just might have to have you come and help me fill the box...I hear you are a pro at it LOL!!!!

Love your souvenir list...I think it might have inspired me to post one of my own LOL!

What is Oso stuff?

Special Agent Oso. He's a cartoon bear with his own pre-school show on the Disney Channel. He's voiced by Sean Astin. Liam loves that show.

Jen the trick to the Mr P stuff is to fill every nook --filling bigger pieces with littler pieces. They also have a huge plastic container that you can fill for about $45. The box is like $20.

Thanks for the tip Heidi!! I'm going to look forward to getting me some of those pieces and having my Mr. Potato Head in my classroom to roate through the different faces of Disney LOL!!!

I had one of those days, too (and it wasn't my students). At 10:15 this morning I turned to my co-worker and said, "In 17 days I will be on my way to my happy place." I told myself that a lot today!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm in!!

It's WONDERFUL that your DH has been so supportive of you taking a solo trip! He "gets it" too, I bet. I like your quick post style, it's fun to scroll through and have a quick blast of an update. Your shopping list looks great-I was amazed reading your last TR at how much gear you purchased, but looks like thats just your thing, eh? I look forward to finding out if you find Oso stuff. I didn't see any, but we aren't big shoppers...

I haven't read the "official" plan releases for Fantasyland. The link is up on my computer, but I'm behind in my Disney news. I'm thinkin' it'll make a great "brain break" during work today at some point... I didn't realize they were going to change Barnstormer!

 

[MRYPPNS]

So I was chatting with TK on Sunday...yes actually chatting on the phone....and it got me even more excited for my trip. And I stayed up until midnight finishing the updates to my touring plans. I'll post the first section when Liam goes down for his nap today.

Brook: I'll take pictures if I find any Oso stuff.

Woot!! Can't wait to see your touring plans Heidi!! Don't you just love chatting on the phone like old friends LOL!!! It's so much fun! I can't wait to meet you all!!!

 

[TarzansKat]

Glad to hear our conversation was inspiring! I felt the same way.

Can't wait to read your touring plans.

 

[MRYPPNS]

You my friends are getting actual scans of my touring plans. I did them in Publisher so I just can't copy and paste. I'll print each one out on heavy paper and Disneyify them with stickers (just like a 12 yo girl!). There is one for each section of my day...I'll be park hopping a lot so it made the most sense to do them this way. In the upper right corner is the 1-3 things that are must do's for me....anything else I get done that day is frosting on the cupcake of life.

The touring plan part is a guideline....I might do more than there is listed or I might do less....I might get out my red pen and change the whole dang thing. (by the way....I don't say dang in real life...just here for you and your 5 year old that might be reading along). I need a baseline plan in case I get overwhelmed and freeze up like Nichole Kidman's forehead.

The Food section is just ideas, it's not that I have to eat everything that's listed...remember that when I post section 4A! But you all like food porn so I may have to eat a lot so I can take pictures for you. Plus I'm there for Food & Wine Fest...it would be a shame if I didn't give that a better try this trip.

The Notes section is just misc. stuff that I don't want to forget or that will help make touring decisions.

Ok you can stop laughing now over the fact that I scheduled a bathroom break, there are no bathrooms on the ME buses. Speaking of ME, I had to call twice to get the correct flight info listed and I still don't have my luggage tags. And when I asked the CM how many tags I was getting...she said 2....we'll see if that's correct.

All Star Music. Not high on my places to stay. I've stayed there before -pre DH. But it was cheap and Movies was sold out for regular rooms. In fact I think all the values are booked solid while I'm there. And get this...I'm going to do online resort check-in and just take whatever room they give me. My DH doesn't believe me. I'm the Queen of having them change our room. Now if the room isn't clean or something doesnt work....then all bets are off.

Oh and I hope not to faint on the plane this time. I think I'll download a movie or tv show(s) to my iPod so I can concentrate on that during the flight.

 

[TarzansKat]

I'm seriously debating asking you to call me when you get in. I want to make sure you didn't pass out on the plane and you arrive safely.

See what one phone call with me does, brings out all that mother instinct...will Heidi be okay, should I check on her, I need to make sure she gets in okay.

And I'm over the fact that you scheduled a bathroom break, but also not, because it's the first thing my family does when we get off the plane.

Can I at least call my DH first?
