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

See Shelly, Jo enjoys my mockery!

Jo - uh dear, that term "Metro" for guys out here in LA has a definition that you might not be comfortable labeling your son with. Let's just put that word away and say Drew likes to be GQ.

Sea!!!!

That is so dang funny.

Your plans are making me Uber jealous. I want to see WL all decked out for Christmas. I bet you'll come home and want to stay there next time.


The kids pics are so cute in their Disney gear.

I wish Drew would wear his Disney shirts still. I think last year he agreed to wear only two of them while we were there. He's much more interested nowadays in Hollister.... (um, the answer would be no.....) and how many Polo shirts he can cram into his suitcase next to his Armani cologne(on his Christmas list this year) and hair gel.

Yes, he is my 10 year old Metro guy.

I have created a monster.


It ws much easier when he enjoyed Buzz Lightyear.
I always would give them a Disney shirt every morning as their Tinkerbell gift. Now what am I gonna do next time we go?

Find Mickey Mouse cologne???

Oh very nice Shelly! Thank you for the PMRR (Pre-Magazine Reading Report). I just can't wait for your MRR!

Got my first issue of Celebrations Magazine in the mail!!!! Does anyone else get this?
http://www.celebrationspress.com/

I subscribed in August and just got my first issue. It comes every other month. I can't wait to read it! I think I will save it for DS10's soccer practice nights. I don't like to leave him there, so I usually sit there with nothing to do. Now I will have my magazine!!

Here it is still in it's wrapper~

Photo that came with it~

Sci-Fi rocks!!! We loved the funky 50's movie previews and clips. (See I can be fun and play nice too!) Sea

ONE MONTH from today - Nov 10 - We will be at DHS!!! My favorite park!! We will get there before rope drop and ride lots of rides and see lots of shows and have dinner at Sci-Fi and see the Osborne Lights that evening. I am so excited, this is the day I am most looking forward to!!!!

Awesome deal Shelly. We buy "trader pins" all the time on Ebay too so that we can trade with the CMs.

I won 10 Disney pins on Ebay last night for $10.99!!!!!

The kids are about done with the autograph books. We have done the pressed pennies to death. And they finally have their lanyards full of pins they love and don't want to trade. So I thought if I could get some cheap enough on ebay I would grab them and surprise the kids with them shortly before we leave and that way they would have some to trade!!

You forgot to tell us how many bathroom stops you all planned to make that day.

No, no bathroom break talks here. I have read lots of TR's when they talk about their bathroom breaks. That's just TMI, you know?

See Shelly, Jo enjoys my mockery!

Hi Shelly,

Subscribing! Found your pre-trippie today, and I'm hooked...I stumbled upon it at about 8:30 this morning, read all the way through (with lots of laughs along the way!!), and can't wait for the next post!

Nice to virtually "meet" you!

Hello!

Just home from Church a little bit ago. Had an early lunch and are now waiting for soccer time to get here.

We went to dinner last night and to the outlet mall. As we headed to the Disney store (well, it's one of those Disney Character Warehouse stores, not a real Disney store) I realized it was gone! It was now one of those giant Halloween stores. We were all like - Where is our Disney stuff??? But I tried to remain calm and tell myself that maybe they just moved it. . . And sure enough they did! We found it in the next row. That was a close one!!

So, we ended up buying stuff in both the Halloween store and the Disney store. I will post pics in a bit!

Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday.

Cool! A Post-Character-Warehouse Trip Report!

Bring it on! Love to see what they have for sale out near you.

Happy Sunday! Sea

Check out this cute dessert my wife and her friend got last night at the park. It was filled with delicious pumpkin mousse.

This time the Character Warehouse had lots of 2008 merchandise, lots of NYC World of Disney stuff, and the usual stuff - clothes, Christmas ornaments, scrapbooking, pins, etc. The only thing we bought this time was a book. The WDW Celebrating 100 Years of Magic Pictorial Souvenir - for $2.99!! It is really cool and has several pages of info, pictures, and facts on each park! Some of it is a little dated, but that's okay for 2.99.

And at the Halloween store we also got Disney related items. Star Wars of course.

DS8's leftover birthday money was just burning a hole in his pocket and he had to buy some Clone Trooper blaster gun thing~

And DS10 didn't have a Halloween costume yet so he just had to have this~

Oh that looks so cute, and yummy!!

Shelly - I have never seen that book before. Looks very interesting - I will have to see if it is at the CW near DL next time. You might have to pick up a copy for me if I can't get it out here. LOL - I would be happy to pick up something from DL for you as a trade.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

I would be glad to pick one up for you Sea! But only if you promise not to make fun of my next post.

In ONE MONTH from today - Nov 11 - We will enjoy a nice relaxing morning at POR. Have lunch at the food court. Head to MK around 2:00 or whenever we feel like it. Spend the rest of the day there! Have dinner at either Casey's or Cosmic Ray's. Hopefully Cosmic Ray's! Maybe watch Spectro. Definitely watch Wishes!
