It will always be MGM.

I saw the other pictures of the tshirts on my home computer. My work one must've been blocking it. I'll be sure to lookout for you guys!

Very cute shirts!! I'm sure you will get lots of compliments while you are at the parks and on the ship -- and maybe even some free desserts!! When DH & I were on our honeymoon in Disney, we got free dessert at about half the restaurants we went to. Might have gotten more if he hadn't refused to wear the hat...LOL

So I am in FL for two weeks right now!! It was chilly here today, for FL, only 58...but it was 15 at home, so I can live with 58!! I'm not going to Disney though, just Sarasota & Jacksonville. I will have to see if we fly over it on my flight from tampa to jacksonville...

 

[disney honeymooners]

Thank You everyone in my family thinks that the shirts are great I am planning on making one more and it is only for the day that we get on the ship. The one with the mickey ears is the one we are wearing on the plane and to MGM. I also have a friend who owns an embrodiery shop and she is making my DFi a black ball cap with groom on the front and our wedding date on the back and she is making me a white visor with bride on it and our wedding date on the side so we can wear them to MK and AK (since the shirts are white i don't want to wear them to a park where we are gonna ride a water ride. y'all shouldn't have trouble finding us if you are at the same parks on the same day.

 

[jenny105]

I'll be on the lookout for you guys when I'm at the park. If you hear a person yell 'Lainey! Girl from the DIS board!' don't worry, that's just me.

You're lucky it was 58! I would've killed for that this weekend. We got hit with a snow storm that dumped about 10 inches of snow on us. I was shocked our office wasn't closed yesterday!! I didn't go in either way; I live 25-30 miles away from the office so I didn't want to make that drive. Especially since it was still snowing. I hope this is it for the year. I'm sick of winter.

 

[disney honeymooners]

the snow hit us on sunday all the kids were bummed b/c almost none of the schools were closed. We got about 2-3 inches which down here is like an oh crap moment everyone runs to the supermarket and buys milk and bread like it wont be there tomorrow. It has been cold here monday and tuesday all the water that was left outside froze so it was fun for our dogs. They say that our temps are supposed to be in the high 60's or low 70's by friday and my BIRTHDAY IS SUNDAY!!!!

 

[jenny105]

Awesome! Happy early Birthday!

My company laid off a couple people in my office yesterday. I was pretty close with one of them, we started on the same day. I feel really bad for him. He'd had a bad weekend and that was just the icing on the cake.

 

[disney honeymooners]

I know how he feels i lost my job last september and it killed everyone i worked with we were all friends and they email me almost every day to talk. Trying to find a job is so difficult esspecially for me since i am a student and i have to get a job that will work around my schedule luckliey my moms law firm has digital filing that they needed done so i can do that on her laptop from home and they pay me $10/hr. but i miss working with people it is so boring not working with people or having co-workers.

 

[jenny105]

Disney just announced MNSSHP dates! 9/22 looks like the day I'll be going. Tickets go on sale May 1st.

I can only imagine not having anybody to work with. It gets boring being on the computers here but at least I know I can get up, walk around, and interact with co-workers and clients! I would probably fall asleep if it weren't for them!

 

[disney honeymooners]

That will be the day that we go i guess we will pay for the tickets early and just use the extra money on our honeymoon gift card for souvenirs. You will get to see us in our bride and groom hats that helps me know what days we are going to the parks: Sun 9/20 MGM, Mon 9/21 AK, Tues 9/22 MK, and Wed 9/23 Epcot and it helps with the ADRs. My DFi is happy that the day we go to MK he doesn't have to get up early i told him since we are gonna be at the park late and almost all the rides are gonna be open we don't have to show up until 11 and our dinner res. at CRT will be for 6 or 6:30

 

[jenny105]

Well, I guess I will see you at MNSSHP! We're probably going to do a waterpark that morning or maybe just hang by the pool and go to MK sometime in the afternoon. I think we're going to buy the tickets early just to make sure we have them. I would hate for the only day they're having it while we're there to be sold out!

I think we're going to do MGM on 9/20 too. From what I know, that's the only day that's going to have a Fantasmic show and since we didn't do it last time....

I'm so excited!

 

[disney honeymooners]

yeah from what i have seen that will be the only day we are there that they are doing fantasmic and since we have the dinner package through our honeymoon registry we need to go that day plus it has less rides than the other parks so that is another reason we are doing it the day that we fly in it is always the first park me and my family does. i CAN'T wait but then again once we get there i know that it will fly by which SUCKS!!!

 

[jenny105]

It always flies by!! DHS is my least favorite of the parks, even though it has ToT and RnRC, which are two of the best rides I've ever been on. Go figure. We're going to be stopping the night before in Savannah, since we're driving, and from there it's another 4 hours to Orlando. Last time we did that we were well rested and ready to go to the parks as soon as we checked into the hotel. Any word on which park has the EMH that night?

 

[disney honeymooners]

nope i have no clue i haven't looked b/c we are going to MGM since we are doing fantasmic. I can look i know that AK has morning EMH the next day

 

[jenny105]

I remember the last time we drove down to Disney, we didn't stay overnight anywhere and chose to drive straight through. We were running on no sleep and went to DHS for EMH. I don't know how we made it til midnight but we did! I remember being on ToT, just out of my mind tired and not really reacting to the ride at all.

I can't wait to do Toy Story Mania!

 

[disney honeymooners]

ive watched it on youtube and it looks really cool and on comcast on demand they have a little short about it or at least they did i can't remember now if they still have it. Our drive may be shorter but i can understand trying to do a park on almost no sleep we had a flight out at 8:30 and for some reason my dad thought we had to get up @ 3am to leave for the airport and then our plane didn't leave til 10am. Then when we got to disney we did MGM i was so worn out i jusst wanted to sleep but when we got back to FWCG me my stepbrother and stepmother did not fall asleep until 3am the next morning so we were up for 24 hours straight i mean i love disney but i wanted to sleep in the next day so bad.

 

[jenny105]

Leaving at 3 am for an 830 flight? That's craziness! How far is the airport from you? I usually leave 2 hours before my flight. It doesn't take very long to get there and it's Newark Airport, which means everything is almost always delayed anyway!

 

[disney honeymooners]

at the most we are an hour away and that is with mild traffic but at 3am THERE was NO ONE!! Of course we were the only STUPID people out that early. I mean we do like to get to the airtran counter @least and hour and a half before our flight b/c we can pay $49 extra to bump up to first class or as they call it business class (i have been in delta first class thanks to my uncles buddy passes and the first class there is the same as airtran but the price is drasticaly lower and the service is much better on air tran) luckly this time we are spending the night after our wedding at the Rennissance Marriott next to the airport so we are only 5 minutes away and we can leave our car in their parking garage for up to 10 days b/c it is included in the price of the room.

 

[jenny105]

Good old park & fly! At least that's what it's called here in Jersey when you do what you're doing.

I've flown on first class once and that was on my way home from Vegas. I slept through most of the flight so it's not like I really even got to enjoy it!

 

[disney honeymooners]

we have park and flys here but they are on the way to the airport and you get charged a certain amount a day for us it is looking like $2 a day at the Marriott versus $7-10 a day at some of the park and flys and the airport so its a better deal. It was fun flying first class to Philly it was an early morning flight and since it was 2 hours they gave us nice big hot muffins and our choice of milk, oj, soft drinks, or coffee

 

[jenny105]

We have all sorts of deals here at the TA for Newark Airport. It's literally 15 minutes up the highway from our office and they have the same kind of deal. Pay the hotel rate and leave your car there for the duration of your trip. I may do that next time I fly somewhere if I can't get a ride! I get crazy deals on Marriott and I'm pretty sure there's one right by our airport.

Do they still give champagne in first class? Or do you have to pay for that now? I'm thinking ya do.
