I've finally gotten caught up again. I love all of your flashbacks. Well, except for the part about Manny getting sick, that wasn't so great.

It sounds like you got some really nice stuff at your bridal shower. I think I would have been most happy about the luggage!

I'm happy about the luggage because I can start putting things in it and our trip will feel even closer. It's just going to hang out here for the next few months. I'm not putting my new present in a closet. So, why not start packing it up. I can't pack clothes yet, but i'll find other things. Do you see now, why I always overpack.


Ok, I gotta get cleaning this house now, there is stuff all over the place. I gotta go to Target and the bank.!!!

Don't know how I forgot but I got some gift cards. ..... FOR DISNEY OF COURSE. I have $100 in Disney money! And I got a Hess gift card which I thought was nice. I always need gas! That's my gas money for the week


Speaking of! Can I use Disney gift cards for Tips at my TS meals and can I use them for things like paying for golf and boat rentals?

Yay! The shower looks like so much fun! Love your dress!! SCORE on the disney stuff and gift cards! Love that you got new luggage, I HAVE to get some before November, I threw out the ratty old stuff to force myself to get more!

 

[-Hope-]

Your shower looks so fun, the balloons are adorable! I like the shirt- super cute! LOVE the luggage! We are going to have to get some luggage too, we have a nice suitcase but its one of the extra large that were popular for a while. I really liked it because I could fit all of our stuff in one bag but its been a few years since we've flown and now with all the 50 lb weight limits on luggage I'm afraid it will be too big!

And yay for gift cards!

Thanks! Haha, we have 2 of those BIG ones that you have to carry. Manny and Anthony dragged them last year, so I figured this year with Ant not going, who was going to carry the second big one. Not, I.

It's sunny and in the 70's here.......do you think I feel like working???? No sir -- eeeee!!! Wait, when do I ever feel like working....

Ann, 4 months from this week, we'll all be in Disney World. We won't have to do anything for ourselves, except walk, chew our food and keep ourselves afloat in the pool (And I take that back, because we'll have the water wings to do that for us). No cleaning, cooking, housework of any kind, no going to the market. The only other thing we'll have to do is shower and get ourselves ready for the day. I really wouldn't want to pay any amount of money to Disney, to that for me

Hey Pam! Loving the flashbacks! I had forgotten about Manny getting sick, what a bummer! Hopefully he feels great this time around!

The shower looked like fun! I love the Mickey balloon shirt, I might have to seek that one out for myself!!! You and the girls looked gorgeous all dolled up for the day! Loved your dress! You are going to be a beautiful bride! I can't wait for that update!!

Your Mom must have been 10 when she had you, she looks like your sister and your brother is one handsome dude!!!

 

[PixieDustPrincess05]

OMG Pam I love that mickey balloon t-shirt . I think I may have to go and get one for myself (if you don't mind lol). Everyone is commenting on how much they like the shirt- watch we'll all end up in the same park the same day with the same shirt on and all of our DH's will just roll their eyes !!!!!!!!! I like all of your gifts- you are one lucky gal!!!!!!!!! The luggage is great especially. Let me guess what is in the carryon bag- hmmmmmm mickey footed jammies (JK) .

It is such a shame that we all live pretty far away from each other- we have all become soooo close over the past year- and hopefully we will all continue after our trips !!!!!!

Love the shower pics! You look great!!!

Thanks, And yes, Manny is really hoping to enjoy all 9 days of this trip. And wow, i'll have to tell my Mom about that compliment. She turned 51 in January. She says things about getting older, but the funny thing is, I don't and maybe I won't ever see her that way. She asks me if she looks her age and I don't really know, I still see her the way I did when I was growing up. It's weird. So, I tell her no, I don't think so at all!! I LOVE my Mama!!!
And as for my brother, he is a handsome dude and he knows it!!!

I would totally be up for wearing matching shirts. That would be awesome! And you are right, our dhs would think we were nuts. But... I don't know about yours, but mine already thinks that, so I don't have anything to lose.
And I think the same thing too. If we lived close by, how fun would that be. We'd all be pretty good buddies

Love the shower pics! You look great!!!

Amanda

Thanks!!

This is from our Animal Kingdom day!!!!

So, I know i'm a day behind here so i'll make sure I do the 17 and 18 updates!! Ok, so here we go.
We go to Magic Kingdom!!!

So, I think I forgot put in the 16ths post that on that night Emily got a really bad headache, so we though she was getting sick too. She went to bed early and when I woke everyone up on the 17th, she said she felt better, the headache was gone, but she wanted to stay with Manny and sleep and I told her to do that and we'll be back in a few hours and then she can come to the pool and then back to MK with us for that night.
I went down to the foodcourt first and got Manny and Emily drinks and breakfast for when they woke up. Manny did not eat for 3 days, but I felt better leaving the food, just in case.

We left pretty early, I want to say we got to the MK by 9:30. When I was taking out our park tickets to get in I felt awful that Emily wasn't here. It was nice to be there so early to see all of the main st. morning action. We headed straight for Dumbo. Liz finally gets to ride it. Next was Ariel's grotto, then we saw the fairy godmother on our way into adventureland. I was sad Em missed this. We rode Pirates, then had lunch at El Pirata y el perico. Then Capt Hook and Mr. Smee were out, then we watched Capt Jacks pirate tutorial. After that we were in the mood for spinning tea cups. Not sure why though, as we had just eaten a lot. I'll never do that again. Me and Anthony had to hold the teacup with everything we had. Lizzie was not looking good. After that, Manny had called to say Em was up and waiting for us and she felt fine. Woo hoo. It was really HOT too. We were actually on our way out and saw Pinocchio. We got in his line, which wasn't too long, but he ended up taking a 2 min break. Well, all of a sudden I had to grab the misting fan, I felt like I was going to pass out. I then decided, it was time to go NOW! Before I passed out on the poor kids.

They see Ariel

Don't you just love the mom in the background of this next pic dragging her child into the squirting tiki's.

On Pirates!

Ok, so while we were waiting for the bus, we were the only ones there. The kids were sitting down and these ducks just starting walking up to Anthony. They weren't stopping. He was freaked out and starting to run away.

But Lizzie was calling them over to come closer to her. She's so funny.

After our pool break. We came back with Emily! I felt much better that she was feeling good.

We saw Cindy, snow white and Sleeping beauty. We also saw the sun for the last time. When we came out of there. AHHHHHH!!! We didn't leave without ponchos. That night started the weeks of mad rain. We then ran over to eat at Cosmic Rays. Then decided to just proceed in the rain. It was one of the most memorable nights we had! Go figure!!! So what did we do in the rain.

PLayed hide and seek at poohs playful spot.

Went for a ride in the hundred acre wood

And then rode the carousel.

It was about 9:30 and Wishes kept getting postponed. It never happened. It was an EMH night. We were wet rats at this point. Liz and Sam were getting cold but Emily and Ant could have gone all night. So we rode the Haunted Mansion and headed back to the hotel for our last Disney sleep.

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Not sure how I forgot about this but on May 16, the night before this MK day that I just posted was the night Emily made me go back to Epcot for an umbrella from France. It was raining, yes it was, so I asked who wanted to go and Anthony and Sam wanted to stay and rest. So it was just Me, Emily and Liz on an empty bus on our way to Epcot at 7pm in the rain. ( This was before Emily's headache of course). So we get to France and the cart selling them is gone for the night. We got into the gift shop and she decides that a purse than says paris on it will do! Phew! She knows she wants that umbrella this year. We're going to buy it right away! Anyway, it's only sprinkling so we decide to go see what the wait time is for SOARIN and we ride it. OH WOW is all I can say!!!!

On our way out we stopped to watch this gorgeous fountain! Here is my video!!!

OMG!! Can you believe it. Wow! When I first started planning this trip I wasn't planning on getting married, Victoria didn't want Peter coming with us, and I was going to stay at Pop Century WITHOUT free dining! Unbelieveable!! But, I beg to differ with you on the housework. Granted, it won't be sooo much work, but I can still see myself picking up after Victoria and Peter, making sure she charges her ipod/DS/ and whatever other electronic devise she will bring, and keeping all of her stuff together!!! Oh, and I will have to do at least a dark and white load of laundry while there!

OMG Pam I love that mickey balloon t-shirt . I think I may have to go and get one for myself (if you don't mind lol).

Oh, Janine......I feel the same way about us getting to be so close and of course we will continue to be after the trips. After all, I'm booking a bounceback, so my pretrip report will pretty much start the day after I come back!!! Hee Hee!!! Besides, you are only 5 hours away......isn't that a day trip??? Yeah, I wish!!! Yes, my future husband also thinks I'm crazy, but hey, he just spent $500 on a 1974 MG Midget that he plans to restore......and he thinks I'm crazy??? But that's a whole other story for my report. I'll have to find some time today to get that posted!!!

This is from our Animal Kingdom day!!!!

It wouldn't let me view it......it stated "this video is private"

 

[-Hope-]

Another great flashback! I'm sorry Emily was sick but glad she recovered quickly! And I LOVE that you guys just put on your ponchos and had fun despite the rain.

 

[Victoriasmom98]

OH, and I did want to chime in that I loved the flashback day! And you posted before noon!!! Very, very proud of you......

Ok, let me take it off private and see if that helps, check it in a few minutes. If I posted the link, I figured it didn't matter if it was private.

Oh, yes, we did have fun. And I was so glad that Emily didn't have what Manny had! That was scary.

Yes, I knew if I didn't get it done now while Sam was at school, it wouldn't happen later at all.
