A story of renewed hope & the power of Dis

[SunDial]

Every time EVERY time I get a room on Disney Property it rains OR every time Ed & I make a plan it rains Sooooo considering the weather radar and the down pour right outside my window, the fact that 2 parks out of 4 close by 7 and the place is crawling with cheerleaders, dance groups, whatever, Ed is staying home and I will....who knows

I did meet Ariana, her Mom and her SIL/BIL this morning for breakfast and plan a quick re-meet later but that's it

Fingers crossed for 10 days from now when Ed plans to come up...again...this time I will NOT be making any reservations ....I had to promise him

It would not have been a fun night. It took the front only 5 to get down to me. Also would not have been fun driving in that mess. It was raining when i go up this morning. Next time there will more time to have fun.

Stay safe everyone.

I say we all go visit PIO and her family she has the weather we should be having too this time of year

 

[PrincessInOz]

Come on Down Under.

 

[RGirl]

Darn the weather!

Hope you are well, Ruthie.

Hi Ruthie! I'm finally back on the DIS after my trip. So sorry I forgot to text you Friday night so we could meet up on Saturday. Friday was a bit of a stressful day with my Mom getting sick and I totally forgot I was supposed to text you. We had a great time other than the 4 family members that went down with a stomach bug. I was lucky enough to miss out on that fun.

I need to send you an e-mail soon as you can probably see I have a new ticker! We need to plan a little better for a meet this time since I will have only one companion on the trip.

Going to New York in April see Aunt Mary Cousins DD DSIL and DGS...how the heck did he become a teenager so fast ??? Haven't seen anyone in 3 years plane tickets bought no stopping me now !![ Thank you God thank you O/T hours thank you Southwest for non-stop flights and a great R/T price !! $218. TOTAL

 

[sewmess]

Very cool.

And yeah, kids get to be teenagers way to fast.

Southwest was the only way I got home to KY when I first moved down to AL from KY. In fact, I think they were the last airline I flew on.


Hope you have bunches of fun!!

 

[franandaj]

Very good for you! So glad you get to go see them! I hope you are doing well, I haven't kept up very well!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Good for you, Ruthie. I hope you have a great trip.

So excited for you! I know how much you wanted to see your family again and that is a great price too!

Glad to see you all here I have one more shift to work ( tonight ) and then I am off for 24 hours I know that doesn't sound like much but I've been working double shifts for quite a few days/weeks now and to me 24 hours seems like a vacation

So here is THE plan: Tomorrow Ed & I lunch at Rain Forest AK then we want to catch Mickey's Jammin Jungle Parade He hasn't seen it & its a favorite of mine and sadly it is ending in June I believe In between I hope to catch a few characters but not holding my breath since we will get a late start AND the whole FP + thing may effect us I don't know if characters are even a FP + thing yet, but we're not eligible yet to pre-plan so who knows

Then off to EPCOT I know Ed wants to photograph Illuminations, I couldn't care less about that MY goal is finding a great hand soap in Italy that is made with olive oil that I got a few years ago and finally ran out...I hope its still there... then call Aunt Mary from there ( always a tradition to call her from Italy makes us both laugh) and then on to China Since its the Year of the Horse I am determined to find something ..maybe another shirt

Sun Mon and Tues I work but Wed Thurs and Fri I have off that's when I plan to FINALLY finish the Nov/Dec report fill you in on all I have been doing since then and tell you all that is going on in the next few months

I will absolutely answer personal replies on my days off and I LOVE you my Dis Family for being here for me.....even when I wasn't

Oh no, the AK parade is being discontinued? I was not aware of that and I've never seen it. AK is not in the plans for the short weekend in May so I guess I'll never see it now.

I actually knew it was Year of the Horse because our shelter is using that as the theme this year to raise money for a small barn. We get a lot of livestock in and have no where to house them so a barn has become necessary. They also did a Lantern Ceremony for a fundraiser but I missed that as it was on 2/15 when I was coming home from Disney.

I still owe you an e-mail with my plans for May. I've almost got them finalized so I will get it too you very soon.

Have a fun time with Ed tomorrow, I hope it doesn't rain.

What a great idea for the shelter fundraiser are you selling anything with The Year of the Horse on it ? Not only because of Maxine of course but I was born in one of the years...1954 which by the way New Ticker REVEAL :



Now I just have to patiently wait to make ADRs...so hope to get BOG dinner for my birthday especially since we had to cancel the one we had for Christmas


Ahhhh sorry you never saw the parade but yes it is going away

Ed + Ruthie + plans = Rain I wouldn't be surprised Ever see those Mickey shirts where he looks like he is made out of lightning ? I think we need to get those shirts either way we are going I just hope the "unlucky two " doesn't cause a parade rain out

 

[Restrasz]

I'm so glad you get to go "home" for a visit! What a special time you will have! Only 250 days till we see you in October! Ruth

We were talking this morning about eating at Rainforest for lunch. Ruthie lets me know that we had a "reservation" for 1pm. I get back to work and then decide to look at the radar. low and behold another cool front with a wide band a rain is a few hours north of Orlando and heading there

I have heard the parade is stopping in June sometime because of the construction of Avatarland.

And tomorrow the front will have passed thru so we will have good weather I love the illuminations show. this trip I will be shooting a few other things but for Illuminations it is just enjoying the show.

Hope to be up by 7 and functioning and driving shortly there after

 

[franandaj]

Have a great time Ruthie and Ed!
