I did prepay the $99.95 and the $70 the day we had our photos done. If it had not been raining so much we could have had a lot of different shots, but we still had some great shots
Your plans and dinner choices look great
that stresses him out sooo much because he is usually in control on everything -- but this economy is finally affecting his stores business. i feel for him I know my job can be stressful-- and i am a loan processor -- but i can't imagine what he is going through! All i can do is support him in any way possible and to let him know i love him, and i am there for him. He has been working close to 80 hours a week-- and completely worn out! He needs this disney vacation more than anything! I keep telling him that god will not give him anymore than he can handle-- but its getting too much soon he will get a assistance manager but not yet.. he was hoping he would have one in there before disney so he can have some relief while he is gone-- but i am not sure if the upper management will allow it ugh! sometimes jobs are soo frustrating but i keep telling him and myself be lucky that you have a job in this econony and just try your hardest to get through it! i just wish we could get a break!! The sad part is at disney we were going to try for a baby-- but i think we are going to wait a little while longer we talked this weekend and Josh said that with everything going on at work right now he just couldn't handle anything else right now- and i completely understand!! i just hope that sometimes gives for him and that he can get a break-- and be able to relax at disney! and maybe he can actually be home in time for dinner one night LOL just keep my hubby in your thoughts! its a hard time-- but all of the stress on jobs sometimes pays off in the end time will only tell..... and i got my mickey magical express vouchers!! WOOHOO!! now things seem soo real!!! i cannot wait--however since we changed our flights they had the flight times wrong but we called and got it fixed!!! i guess the rest of my documents should come in anytime now!! i am going to have to spend the next 5 weeks or so getting everything together that i need --buying the last odds and ends-- and cleaning the house top to bottom--- everytime before i go on vacation i have this pet peeve or having everything soo sparkling clean in the house-- i guess because i like coming home to a clean house LOL-- but i wish i could just wave my magic
and make the house clean lol but i havent figured out those powers just yet
i will let you know what i can get!!! i called and changed Kona to Crystal Palace-- so we could get to MK earlier our first day-- but i am going to try to squeeze breakfast in at Kona too-- maybe later in the week! I asked the CM when i called to go over all my ADRS to make sure everything was ok and it was thank god!! and she was even able to see what i cancelled yikes!! thank god i only switched 3 around LOL!! i am excited for this!! She also asked if we were celebrating anything and wanted to add it to the ressie and i said sure what the heck add our anniversary celebration to this ADR i have no clue what they will do-- but i will take whatever LOL i am not picky plus who cares i am in disney lol!! well i am off to finish the hubbys dinner next up for be some of my money saving tips that i use to save money for disney and a poll on how much you factor in for each day of spending-- mainly because i am clueless on how much money to take LOL but that will be the next topic of discussion
how long did your photo session last? I think i want to try to do the poly but want to time it maybe before our dinner
well one good thing came from today-- i came home to disney mail
on Mickey mail
. I have thought about calling and see if they can find an O'hana dinner reservation. I really want to eat dinner there. I will hate for them to see how many times I have changed ADRs 
.
we will be at Crystal Palace 9/11 also!! but we have a ressie at 9:00am
so maybe we will run into each other that is so cool i cannot believe how are plans are almost the same LOLIt lasted a little over 30 minutes. The photog would have taken more pictures if we had asked her, but we couldn't think of anything else for her to do.
I will keep Josh and you in my prayers. I know it is hard on you seeing him work so hard and feel so frustrated. I keep hoping and praying this economy turns around soon.
yummy, I am going to have to try this, it sounds so good.
Congrats on CP
soon enough! you should call for sure to see if you can get Ohana~ Also try calling while you are at disney sometimes peoples plans change once they get there! Last year we could not get ohana-- but i took a chance and called while we were there and got Ohana for a 5:45 ressie! WE loved it!! i would keep trying if i were you~! Oh and you should try the spinach pie recipe for sure I am going to have to decide if i want pictures or not-- maybe i will decide in the next 2 weeks!!! 
Oh I hope things work out for your husband, I can't imagine working that long each week and how hard it must be for him and you because he's not home. I hope things get better for him and he gets that assistant manager soon. Congrats on getting your ADR changed and getting Mickey Mail! Here's some prayers sent your way for less stress in both your lives and an easier time at work for your hubby.
yeah its hard when he works so late and i have to eat dinnners a lone but i keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end! the mickey mail was a great end to a crazy day though! and i was excited about getting CP!!! WOOHOO!! I am very glad that the boss man was able to see how crazy and successful his store really is I always tell him just to get through the day-- and think about coming home to his house and his doggies oh yeah and of course me it will be nice for everyone to share especially for in this economy and it will give us all more DISNEY MONEY!!!
and we are not sure what extras we are going to want to do for sure yet---so-- i was thinking 50 dollars a day per person-- as a very high estimate-- which would be 1000 for 10 days and i want to take a little extra incase for come across anything -- so i am thinking $1300-$1500? does that sound like way too much
? I guess its better to take extra and then if we come home with that money it will be a nice suprise for our bank account!! woohoo!!
thank you everyone for you kind thoughts and prayers for my hubbys stressful work situation!! He is really going through a crazy time at work! However i talked to him today and he seems in a much better mood-- and thankfully his manager went to his store today to help-- well it was a very busy day for them today and his manager was at a loss for words on how busy there were-- and agreed to get Josh the other 2 employees hired so that he can have a fully staffed store before he leaves for disney
now for me-- well thats another story-- LOL i started out forgetting my cell phone at home-- so i felt lost all day-- then had a lot of crappy work to do at work today-- then i type this post up already and something happened with my computer and my i lost my post!! UGH! so i stopped ate my low-fat grilled cheese for dinner-- did some chores and now i am back trying to type this again . Today is another day thank goodness!! Oh I'm sorry you had such a bad day!!
Now on to some money saving tips that i use to save money on disney/for disney/ and in the real world:
~ we always travel to disney in sept when the rates are lower-- and when we can get free dinning that saves soo much money!!! and we are able to go for a 10 days trip because of that reason!!! I wish I could but unfortunately I am still in school. (But not for much longer only 1 more semester to go!!)
~ We are staying at a value resort-- all- star music-- we figured that this saves us a lot of money because we spend most of the time in the parks I've never stayed at a value but I'm so excited to stay at Pop this year!! It should be fun!! My reasoning is the same, we're not going to be in that room that much so why pay for something we're just going to sleep in!
~ we always get the re-fillable mug
~ we use extra snack credits to get little souvenirs for people such as a little disney snack That is an awesome idea!! I love it!
~ i try to put 100-200 from each mine and DH pay check each week in savings depending on what is going on for that week LOL Unfortunately I have to wait until my big people job to start doing that but I do try to put my change away so that saves some!
~ I pack my lunch everyday of the week-- and DH and I eat out on Fridays only which is most likely mcdonalds and i get a happy meal for my WW points
~ I get the Sunday paper delivered every sunday morning and sit in my pjs while drinking my coffee cutting coupons-- then i figured out what i need and organize my coupons but the aisles in the store
~ I shop at a discount grocery store called ALDI-- anyone hear of aldi? Its a grocery store that has generic items-- well mostley generic that are at very low prices -- and very good food too
~ I use coupons for amusement in my area-- such as waterparks, amusement parks, zoo, and enjoy going to craft shows because it doesnt cost anything to look
~ I go to movies in the morning hours such as 10-11am and get movie tickets for 5 dollars a ticket instead of paying the evening prices
~ Instead of going to see a movie on a friday or a sat night we rent a redbox for 1.07 LOL and i make my own fat free popcorn Alot of the time Ian and I just wait until the movies come out on dvd and then download them and make our own popcorn, so much cheaper!
~ I use the points that i get from my bank for using my debit card to get free gift cards so we can go out for a nice dinner
~I only shop at retail stores with coupons, and try to get my clothes on sale, I will buy clothes for the following year with end of season sales Oh gosh I hardly ever by anything unless it's on sale!!
~ I love vera bradley and shop on ebay and amazon for vera bradley and my amika that i just got Amazon, my new favorite place to shop!!
~ I try to make meals that will last 2-3 days-- ( soups, roast, sketti etc)
~i grow a garden for my tomatoes and zucchini in yeah I also inherited my mom's ability to kill plants!!
~when tempted to buy something online that i dont need i walk away and clean instead LOL!!! Ooo maybe I should do that instead, but I hate hate hate cleaning!
These are just a few of my money saving tips that i have learned to use that work well for us!! Please share some of yours
so the next question is-- i am trying to decide on how much money to take to disney-- we are covered with food from the meal plan-- but i like to buy some souvenirs-- and a few adult drinks
so with that being said-- everyone share one or a few money saving tips-- and do you think the amout i want to take to disney is reasonable, too much, or too little?
up next--- traditions while in the world
off property. There are several places you can share snacks and save the extra credits, the ice cream shoppe on Main street has an ice cream cookie sandwich that is more than enough for two people and a school bread can even go for three if you use it for just a snack. Saving money during the year is harder, but I save all change and at the end of the year it is a pretty good savings, it at least buys gas. We usually eat breakfast in the room, with a few exceptions. I learned that we don't have to rent a fridge if we take our ice chest.
