A Very Chit-Chat Thread

Especially from a couple of months ago, lol.

 

[kaoden39]

Yes, especially those.

 

[Belle Ella]

I'll admit, I'm mostly excited so I can start my next PTR!!

 

[kaoden39]

I understand that.

 

[Belle Ella]

It's kind of exciting, and of course it's going to be a fun one. I'm really looking forward to writing about my experience with the 5K (and then the Half in January). Plus now I feel like I have one less thing on my plate.

 

[kaoden39]

That's true. I always kind of hate ending a trip report because I hate to end my time at Disneyland. I wish I had a trip to plan for. But, I've got nothing right now.

 

[Belle Ella]

I know what you mean. I'm not going to love the day when I don't have another trip in the works to look forward to. But right now I don't have to think about that scary, scary, scary thought. Then again, I don't ever want to miss another girls trip. That just means I might have to wait super long ages in between. Man, that was really fun.

 

[kaoden39]

I am hoping that I can get to the point that I can start saving actual vacation money. Right now everything has a place to go.

 

[Belle Ella]

I hope you can too. I need to take in my recycling so Miss Piggy can get some more company. I think I'm up to about $115 in change and spare parts which isn't too shabby for this trip. I am starting to really love (well, not that I didn't before) having my AP since I don't have to worry about those pesy PH prices. Just gotta worry about the hotel (really hoping I can find a roomie so I don't have to spend my birthday trip alone - although Meredith might come down Sunday/Monday), gas, and food. Well, birthday present souvenir shopping for myself too, lol.

 

[kaoden39]

I have recycling Loren and I need to take in too. It has been building up so I know I have quite a bit but pshaw when you have to buy PH for 6 people the room and food is nothing. I still have two free nights at the Ayres for one room so that is good.

 

[Belle Ella]

I need to get my Disney fixes in now while I can. I wont be able to like this if I ever have a family in the future, lol. Man, it adds up so fast! Do you have to use the nights by any specific date Michele?

Anyone watching The Voice? It's the final 4 tonight. My favourite team just sang an MJ song and it was awesome! Javier is who I have been rooting for from day one, and I love Adam Lavine, and watching the two of them sing Man In The Mirror was just awesome.

I hope you can get a trip in the works soon Michele, but I understand the expenses!

 

[Belle Ella]

I'll be honest, I never found time to watch again after the first episode!

Well, it is a one year thing but I was told I could get and extension on that if need be.

I love the voice and I am anxiously waiting to watch it tonight.

Thank you.

I am that way with America's Got Talent.

Well that helps that you could get an extension. I know it depends on money but have you thought about when you'd like to use it? Would you take the whole family?

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Jessica if you are wanting to do a trip a little closer, you are welcome to come stay at the house my mom is sitting. It's a 4 bedroom, and has lots of room. It's about an hour away from DLR, but we could take turns driving and pitching for gas. Just a suggestion.

 

[Princess Row]

I honestly havent watched that show at all. I am currently watching the Bachlorette from last night. This show is getting a bit too scripted for me.....but its summer and I have nothing better than this so....oh well.

Ideally yes, but with Kacy starting college in August they may not happen.

Hi everyone! I am currently watching The Voice which I DVR'd since I was at work I am happy with all the finalists from each team (except not really with team Christina) but I'm with you Andrea on team Adam! Can't wait to see the MJ duet! Sounds good.

Row, my friend took her mom to the airport in the bay area today & said it was raining like crazy!! We got it around 10 where I live. & I sooo wanna see the pooh movie too!

Jessica, I know what you mean with the AP! I am in love with mine! I haven't taken advantage of the free parking yet since I usually stay so close but it's so nice not to worry about buying a PH when planning a trip. And I usually ask for Disney giftcards for bday or christmas & most recently, graduation. So a huge chunk of my AP is already taken care of when I renew i also feel like its easier to just go to DLR without much planning since i dont have to worry about a park ticket. Im lucky since most of my friends love DLR too so i always have somone different to go with, but i think im starting to run out of people
have fun with Paula tomorrow!

 

[Belle Ella]

Jillian - I've managed to get quite the bang for my buck with my AP. I even ended up using it on the Diva trip because of the hotel parking situation I was going into. Plus when you're not actually staying on site or anywhere near it came in handy! I try to ask people for Disney giftcards and whatnot for my birthday and Christmas but nobody seems to pay any mind to it at all. Half of the family refuses to give giftcards period and want to give something they call 'real' and I'll never understand that. I just hate it because why spend your money buying someone a gift they'll either hate or never touch/use? I know it's the thought that counts but it always seems such a waste to me. I'm not so concerned about renewing my AP this year now that I know I can do the monthly payment plan.

Aw, Andrea. Keep me posted on how that works out and so long as everyone's cool with it I may take you up on the offer. Besides, I wanna see cute little baby Seth!

OK, I am so on the verge of getting myself into trouble right now. The Disney Store is offering 20% off of Park merchandise and the offer expires today. That means 20% on top of the Dooney & Bourke bags that are already at a reduced price. I know I shouldn't, but it's calling my name!!
