A Rumblee in my Tumblee Pre-Trip Report

[lovesdumbo]

I know- that is what attracted me to your trip report- We have a character breakfast planned all but ONE day! lol (That is Kona Day)

LOL I already warned my husband I am going to take pics of our food on this trip- I also want to save all my receipts- so I can see how much it "would" have cost if I didnt do the deluxe!

I almost went with deluxe DDP for my trip but decided I wanted to enjoy concierge too so I didn't do it but instead decided that i just HAVE to do it with my DS (he's my best eater!) before his 10th birthday (1/10/11). I hope he's still into the characters then because I would love to do character breakfast and signature dinners.

Check out the Jedi Training- It looks AWESOME!!!

We have to get there early so that Myles can hopefully be "the chosen one" -Now on to find a cute Star Wars shirt for him to wear!!! - I guess I have to do some online shopping today- works out great because yesterday was the WORST day at work and I actually cried... They finally broke me down. I am definitely having "I just wish I could stay home with my boys and not work day!!!!"

So sorry you're having stress at work! Must be something in the air. Things have been crazy for me too only I don't want to cry I want to harm someone. It is always the same folks that I have troubles with. I wish I could just do their job as it would be easier than fixing thier mistakes.

Those dresses are cute! I love seesucker too! I showed Emily the dresses and she said, "No Momma, doze are cheezy!" I've created a monster!! She won't wear things with cartoons on them like princesses, Dora, Pooh, Minnie etc...!?!

That is SO funny! Myles is 5 and we just had this conversation yesterday- he was like "what's cheezy?"

Concierge will be awesome- I want to hear all the details! I think its the economy and everyone is under such stress- it makes working environment YUCKY!!! The mean people seem to get meaner!!

Oh my, Only 20 more days for you!!!!!!!!! You must be getting excited.

I cant wait for tomorrow- no more "20's"

So sorry that you had a bad day. My monday went that way. Big hugs for you. Somedays it just sucks to have to work. I guess they wouldn't pay us to do it if it were fun and everyone wanted in on it...that's what i try to tell myself anyway.

I worry A LOT too-plane, losing one of the girls, oversleeping, forgetting something important, not having enough money, etc.. Even though I worry so much it always works out-even when something doesn't go as planned. Everything will be fine and you are going to have the most awesome trip.

Thank you!!!! I think it's just a moms job to worry- you know the dad's are not! sorry for any DH's out there that do- But mine is very relaxed while I am - (freak show)

Tonight Wayne called me when I was on my way home and was like "what do you want to do tonight - there is nothing on TV?" and I was like "Do you want to do Disney Research!?" He was all excited- and said, "Let's look at dining reviews and pics from all our ADR's!!" ... we are such dorks. So one kid down, the other is just finishing his story and that is what we are doing tonight - looking at pictures of food!

Very funny! All caught up now! After being gone for a week it takes a while to read everyone's PTRs! Your leaning tower of chocolate donuts for Cars Night reminded me of the leaning tower of Pisa (which I just saw! )

I am sure you are super excited for the trip, you planning will definitely pay off!

Just think how how wonderful the vacation will be!

I have a relatively new dSLR (took it to WDW in January). My DS is into photography too-he'll have a small point & shoot. AND I just bought a laptop so I'll have plenty of memory space! I'll be taking lots of photos. I can't wait to try AKL and AKL CL!

If I have any time I might do a little pre trip report. It might help make me feel less stressed if I get everything written out.

You should write a pre trip report!!!

I am so sorry you had such a hard day. Unfair. I hope the rest of the week is better.

Thank you!! Today was better - tomorrow will be even better (I dont work on Fridays so tomorrow is my friday!)

 

[chicagoshannon]

YAY for it being Friday!

 

[my2disneyboys]

YAY for it being Friday!

Yep 19 days! 16 day is just when we leave it' really 18 until we're IN Disney. So we're not that much ahead of you.

 

[wlwilliams9]

WOO HOO!! You're in the teens!!! I'm right behind you!

 

[my2disneyboys]

So I was just at the grocery store (I LOVE shopping by myself!!!!!) and I found these for the airplane bags! I have never seen these before. Owen has never had fruit snacks, and Myles only has them on Vacation- so he is going to be VERY excited when he opens his airplane bags and spots these!

 

[chicagoshannon]

oh how fun! Madeline eats fruit snacks occasionally. She only likes the sugary kind. The "real fruit" kind is too hard for her to eat.

 

[lovesdumbo]

How cute are those? I like the Kellogg's brand the best-some of the others have strange textures.

Do you guys think Owen (19 mos) is too young for them? He has lots of teeth and is a pretty good chewer- I am a freak about choking though - I cut everything up in a million pieces and everyone makes fun of me.

I am VERY paranoid about choking. That being said I think I let Madeline try them in late December. She was about 21 months then. She did fine.

Love the Easter pics. The boys are adorable as always. The pancakes were great, how creative! I did notice the stitch cup on the table and thought it was really cute. Could I ask the crazy question...will you tell me where you got it? Also, I am always seeing the disney dollars and still don't know where you can get them. Would you fill me in? Thanks can't wait to hear more.

Hi! The stitch cups were in the boys Easter Baskets this year! (But I think the Easter Bunny did lots of shopping at the Disney Store- because those and the Disney Dollars both came from the Disney Store!) I put some of the disney dollars in their "airport bags" too. - which BTW have gotten HUGE because I keep adding things to them!!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Today is going to be a very busy day! We are going to the zoo this morning, then off to pick up a baby gift at Target. We have to be at my cousins at noon to bring her lunch and meet the new baby. I think I will stop by Nonnies and say hi (she lives real close to my cousin) and would kill me if I was in Beverly and didnt come over! Then we will come home and meet Daddy and do the Disney Night.

Here is the plan!

Song of the South:
Activity: Make shadow puppets for telling the Brer Rabbit stories- Click on the link for instructions. Story telling is what the whole movie is about!
http://www.ehow.com/how_2054377_make...w-puppets.html

Food: Southern-themed meal, how about:
Uncle Remus' Real Southern Cornbread
http://www.recipezaar.com/Real-Southern-Cornbread-51550
Fried Chicken
Baked Beans
A nice big pitcher of ice cold lemonade with floating lemon slices!

Dessert:
Lil Johnny's Favorite Pecan Pie
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1737...240203,00.html
If the kids do not like the pie, I figure they can finally eat some of their Bunnies from their Easter Baskets!
