A Pre Thanksgiving/Christmas Vacation, Our First Split Stay & Our 5th Trip to Disney!

[JoBird]

Well, as bad of a procrastinator as I am- My DH is much worse.

He's on a plane right now on his way to Puerto Rico (with a stop over in Atlanta for a little Georgia/LSU action...) and so what does he do? He got home from work last night at 7, ate supper, watched Survivor, put a load of clothes into the washer, WENT BACK TO THE OFFICE, came back home at 11 to wash another load. Got up at 4 am and finished his laundry, packed up and was out the door at 5:45.

I'm not THAT big of a procrastinator.

Maybe it's just I like sleep too much.


Shelly, you win for Queen Planner Extraordinaire.

I only bring my luggage out a few days ahead of time. They get in my way, and then Beau Gator gets angry so he pees in them.



Beau Gator the Peeing Bullodog.

Dumb dog.

You're not alone in this, pet's know you're on heading for vacation and they intentionally try to ruin it as they can't go too!

Love your dh's way of getting ready for a trip - and love that he did his own laundry!!!

BTW my comment that I tour Disney Commando style - means my touring pace, not my lack of drawers!

 

[JoBird]

Hey- what if you toured the park at a commando pace without drawers?

Do you think you'd win the Double the Fun Commando Award??

How would anyone know in order to bestow that honor on you???????




Oh good grief. I'm loopy.



And my Dh- bless his stinkin' heart. He does his own laundry-- and he cleans.
Well, sometimes.
But he does do the kitchen for me every night- so that's a winner in my book.


My bulldog has an awful habit of peeing in a suitcase every chance he gets?? What the heck? Once Dh had come home late from a trip, got up the next morning and grabbed a shirt out of the suitcase that he had sat next to the bed only 8 hours before.

It was dark, so he wasn't paying much attention- he gets to work and on the way there he says he kept smelling soemthing God Awful. When he goes into his office, his friend says "What is that smell?" and DH said "I don't know- it's awful?" and his friend says ....."It's coming from you Big Guy."

Lo and Behold, the dumb bulldog had peed in the suitcase on his shirts, and homeboy was none the wiser.

Good morning PTR friends!

Wow it looks like we got quite silly in here last night and this morning with all the Double Commando, dogs peeing in suitcases, and procrastination talk!!!

Lucky for me my dog doesn't get too upset by the suitcases. He was running around barking when I brought them up yesterday, but then calmed down.

I could never wait until the last minute to pack. I would forget too many things! Heck I forget something every trip even when I start early and make lists. One year I forgot my Tylenol PM (I have trouble sleeping in hotels) and they do not sell it anywhere on Disney property. Some of the CM's didn't even know what I was talking about. Last trip I may have forgotten something very important of DH's. . . .

Hi Shelly! I followed your last TR, and your story about surprising your boys on Christmas! I absolutely love reading about your Disney adventures! I am so excited for you that you will be going in November...although I am a bit jealous because we have to wait until the very end of December! We are surprising DD18, DD16, and DD8 with that trip on Christmas day! Can't wait to read more of your PTR! I have to go catch up!
~Lauren

Hey Lauren, I remember you!! So glad you found me again. Welcome!

I thought about posting a link to this PTR on the last TR, but just never did it. . .

It sounds like you have some exciting times ahead! You'll have to tell me all about your Christmas surprise and your upcoming trip!

I think your DH and I will be bonded for life because of that one little comment he made to me.

 

[trixiequilts]

Hey- what if you toured the park at a commando pace without drawers?

Do you think you'd win the Double the Fun Commando Award??

No, I think you'd just be chafed.

My favorite quote from Real Genius: "Why are you wearing those things on your head?" "Because if I wore them anywhere else, they'd chafe!" Ahh Val Kilmer, how I loved you in that movie.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I think your DH and I will be bonded for life because of that one little comment he made to me.

I know, I could not believe he told you that!!!

Okay, my big confession. I left this part out of my January TR, but now the cat is out of the bag. . . . I FORGOT TO PACK DH'S. . . . UM. . . . .DRAWERS!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I do ALL the packing, so I took ALL the blame.

So we are sitting at Fantasmic on our 3rd day of vacation in January, with Trixiequilts & family. Keep in mind we had never met these people before in our lives. Trixie & I had chatted on the Dis for several months, but we never actually met before. DH had never talked to her. And out he blurts - Shelly didn't pack me any underwear!!! I could have killed him!!

I don't even remember what we were talking about that would have lead up to him telling you that, do you Trix?

 

[mickeystoontown]

Morning Shelly,

I can't believe you forgot to pack your husband's underwear! That is something that I would never ever ever do. Yep, I forgot to pack my husband's underwear and socks when we took one of our long weekend road trips. I blamed it all on him. He should have had his stuff out for me to pack!

Hope you have a great day,

Lisa

 

[JoBird]

LOL- perhaps if all these boys packed their own stuff, they wouldn't have to worry about Free Willy.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Yes, DH should be packing his own stuff. But he leaves every detail of the vacation up to me. He lets on like he is doing me a big favor because he knows how much I like to plan. But you can bet your BEHIND that he will be double checking on his drawers before we leave this time!

 

[JoBird]

LOL- I'd leave them out just as a joke and when he gets there and doesn't find any in his suitcase, tell him he's on a Disney scavenger hunt to find something to put his BEHIND into.

It could be a start of a new tradition.

 

[Monny2AE]

You ladies are too wild over here- I'm going to have to start lurking on the Mayers thread!

Shelly I can't believe you forgot your DH's drawers. And I really can't believe he ratted you out...to strangers! Maybe you should get started packing so you don't leave out anything important this time around. Do I dare ask how you solved that problem last Jan? Was your poor DH commando the whole week or did you get him some new digs

Start packing now- don't let those procrastinators get to you. They're in cahoots with the warm PB people.

A scavenger hunt for drawers!

Come on over. We have a lot of fun! We aren't quite this crazy everyday but we have our moments!

Do I dare ask how you solved that problem last Jan? Was your poor DH commando the whole week or did you get him some new digs

Well let's just say that Disney does not sell 3 packs of men's underwear like they do women's and children's. They only sell boxers - one for $20!!

Start packing now- don't let those procrastinators get to you. They're in cahoots with the warm PB people.

Dang procrastinators and warm PB people.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I love this thread.

And here I was worried that I'd run out of things to talk about in my PTR!

 

[trixiequilts]

Dang procrastinators and warm PB people.

Hey, you better watch out...your husband talked about his lack of drawers to one of those procrasinators and warm PB people! And I'm disorganized, too!

Once again, I say, "Disorganized Procrasinators Unite!" The meeting will be sometime, and I'm not sure where we'll meet. I'll work on it later!

The second Tuesday of next week works out for me.

How 'bout you?
