A Pirate & Princess' Adventure! (Updated 8/9 with Pics!)

[hayanyujah847]

Love your Pre-Trippie! I am not a good multi-quoter (and when you see my last response on my PTR- it took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to split up a quote) ...
In any case, you and your DBF seem like soooo much fun! Too bad we will not be in WDW the same time or I would say we should meet for lunch! I love how you post pics of all your new stuff- I do the same thing! lol!
I am so excited for you!
This trip is me and my DBFs second trip together also and we are staying at a mod for the first time together as well (CBR)! And I have the same stitch ears and bought the same awesome fans from the Disney Store- I got the Mickey one for the DBF and the Little Mermaid one for me!
Reading your PTR makes me so excited! I can't believe I have only a litttle more than 3 weeks to go!
Oh and if you are ever itching for a puppy- remember that terriers are hypo allergenic or however you say it- they have hair not fur so no allergies!
Can't wait to read on!

lol! It took me awhile to get the hang of multi-quoting, too! Wow...a lot of similarities between us!
For some reason I had no idea terriers were hypoallergenic. That's awesome. I wish dachshund & pugs were. haha!

I changed our ressies. We initially were going to stay one night @ Pop but I canceled that. On Aug. 27, we were going to have to rush to the airport after DBf got out of work that day & wouldn't have got in until midnight! So I figure we are better off just leaving VERY early in the morning on the 28th and checking in @ POFQ.

So, I finally completed one of my itinerary cards! Yay! Thank you for the idea Cinderella16 and Eeyore's Tailfinder. Also, special thanks to Hayley for sending me the template! I would have had serious issues without it. My card is way too overloaded with info. but ah well! lol!

Love the itinerary card! Are you making one of those for every day? That seems like a lot of work!

Yes, but I love it~!! lol Planning is half the fun.

DBf thinks I'm crazy because I have decided on our next WDW trip. I am planning on going Nov. 1-14 2008. This way, I am thinking we can hit the last night of MNSSHP, Universal Horror Nights, the Food & Wine Festival, and the very beginning of Christmas season at the World. Yay!

So I am debating about whether or not to get a Universal AP. Right now, CostCo has a deal of $180- for a 2 year AP as long as it is activated by Sept. 30. So I am thinking I will just get it and have Universal admission taken care of on our next 2008 WDW trip...and 2009 WDW trip. I think I can get special rates on the Universal hotels with an AP, too. And the 2 yr pass would last just long enough for the new HARRY POTTER section! I am super excited about that coming to Universal! This trip I don't need the admission though since our RPR stay comes with a 7 day IOA & US park pass. Ah well!

51 Days!

Hi everyone! Haven't updated and I thought me receiving all of my items for my trip justified an update!

Very exciting...It makes it seem so much more real now. I have to say we have a great Dreams Unlimited Agent. I feel as if I have changed things so many times with our trip and she has been nothing but friendly & accommodating the entire time. I wonder how one gets into the Dreams Unlimited business...that seems so fun~! They may be a question for the Dis podcast!

So, I changed our trip dates a bit...Officially cutting a day off the end. The animal shelter we volunteer with is having their big summer BBQ the day we were scheduled to come back and I just couldn't miss it! So our dates are August 28-September 8. Aug. 28-Sept. 3 @ POFQ and Sept. 3-Sept.8 @ RPR.

I bought a Universal Annual Pass...2 Years for $180! I saved that much alone of my hotel this time. My rate was around $1000 for RPR and now it's only $787. Very sweet!

Now, the craziest thing...I have our dates for our next WDW trip set! October 31-November 16, 2008! Oct. 31-Nov. 8 @ Pop w/DDP, Nov. 8-Nov. 11 @ RPR, Nov. 11-Nov. 16 @ WL w/DDDP. I'm crazy I know. I figure going during the dates I have set, my boyfriend only has to take 10 days off from work even though we will be on vacation for 17 days. And we can hit up MNSSHP, Halloween Horror Nights, Food & Wine Festival and MVMCP. Plus, we are going to get the Deluxe Dining Plan & stay at a Deluxe resort for the last 5 days! Yay!!!

Just to make things more interesting, I will add some pics from my 2001 & 2005 trip! I wish I had some from my younger trips but my parents have them all. I will have to go & borrow some from my mom.

I apologize for the poor quality of these pics! For some reason after I scanned them, they didn't come out quite as clear as they actually are. I wrote captions over each of them instead of typing it out before/after the pics. I love looking back at these pics~!! Such memories!!

First, some pictures from my 2001 trip. I went to Orlando with one of my best friends Mi Yun who has a summer house there. We drove down in her dad's jaguar and her dad foot the whole bill! Yay! Definitely a fun Senior spring break, albeit not your typical one.

Me and Phill's first trip to the World together in December 2005.

This is like my record amount of posts in a day. I forgot to include a pic of our Mousekeeping envelopes. The Disney ones I got from the MouseForLess website, they have great templates!! P.S. I know there are two Sept. 6ths! lol I have to change the date on one.

I have been researching limo rates to & from the airport here in Chicago...and I think I found a good company. That's surprise #1 for DBf. Yay! Surprise #2 A gift basket from Memories by Betsy. Betsy sent me a picture of my gift basket today. So exciting! Here it is:

What else can I surprise him with? Ideas anyone? I ordered some candies & chocolates 2 weeks ago from Disney World but they haven't arrived yet. Hopefully they will get here soon~!
