A Very Disney Christmas! Nov/Dec 2010 PTR (Trip Drama & 2 Days! 11/24)

Oh Joni!! I didn't know that!! How horrible!! I'm so very sorry!!

That's still a great price!! Sam's always seems to have the best things!! I wish I had a membership to Sam's or to Costco!!

The few pics on FB that I have of our Disney trip are the only ones I have & I took those from my MIL off her myspace page.

I love Ben's Sam's membership!!! That is where we got all the snacks. Speaking of which, do your girls drink Capri Sun?

Ugh! That's just awful!! Yes, my girls sometimes drink Capri Sun. I saw what you posted on FB--a bunch of my other friends posted, too!! Soooo gross!! YUCK!!

Hopefully, one day that disc will show up! And girl... I was sooooooo grossed out. When we went to Sam's for juices for the kids for the trip, Ben asked if I wanted to get Capri Sun. He had not seen it posted on FB. I said "Noooooooooooo". He asked why, I told him that I would show him when we got home. When he saw the pics, he said "Thank God we did not buy it." My thing is, what if that child did like my kids do, just go grab one & drink it....the thought makes me sick!

As most of you know from my past PTRs, I am a Disney book addict! I own them all--or so I thought!! This past weekend we went to Barnes and Noble and I picked up the 2 bottom books in this pic and then ordered the DVD set and book on the top row from Amazon!

What I love about the bottom 2 books is all of the full-color pictures!! It brings back such great memories--the pictures more so than just reading words--if you know what I mean!! (I'm a very visual person) And the girls just LOVE looking through them, too!! Claire is looking through one of them as I type!! Check out the inside of the Unofficial Guide Color Companion:

It even has sections on the new Fantasyland!!

I can't wait to check out the DVDs!! It is a set of 6 all about different things at Disney Parks! Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036K9CM8/ref=oss_product.

Oh what fun!!! Looks like you have a few things to keep you occupied for a bit leading up to the trip!

The Color Companion book is outstanding! I didn't really learn anything new from it, but the pictures in it are fantastic!

I just ordered the Color Companion too! Wow, that DVD set is only 24.99?! I can't wait to hear how it is. I love the Julie Neal book - I've always recommended that one to people because of all the pictures. Mines a couple years old, so I may need a new one myself. And I read that Hidden Magic book a couple months ago from the library. It was a really fun read!

There's nothing better than a good Disney travel book to get you excited about a trip! Those look great!

I can't remember how much I shared about this here on the DIS but many months ago I submitted a story to WDW Memories. WDW Memories is a book that "shares the magic of the Disney experience through a collection of favorite Disney vacation memories as told by everyday WDW resort guests." (taken from back of book) Well my story was one of the ones chosen for the book as was several other DISers--Katie (Bippity Boo) and Sara (mom2mek)!!! The book is now available for purchase and I just received my copy!

My story is on page 103 (the pic that goes with the story is on the far right in my siggy)!!!

If you are interested in a copy you can purchase it on Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/wdw-memories/11055067

Wow! A published author. We are in the presence of greatness.

 

[disneybarbie]

wow.. you're a published author! that's really great, such a lovely story too.
I think I heard about this book on a podcast, probably Lou Mongello's! Great to see it's been completed!

Love all your Disney books.. I'm the same, I can't get enough Disney literature! It started when I wrote my dissertation (university final year paper, 10000 words!) on Walt Disney so I needed to get as many books as I could... and I've kept going!
I recently read "Spinning Disney's World" by Charles Ridgeway (Disney PR) and Lee Cockerell's "Creating Magic" (Head of wdw operations).. both were excellent!
Think I might need the the color companion to UoG now...
