A Very Special Trip Report to Celebrate My Daughter's 6th Birthday (Updated 11/1 pg6)

I am not envious of anyone as a rule but oh, how I would love to join DVC. I would have loved it more 20 years ago.

Your family picture is great and what beautiful children you have. I do see a mischievious glint in their eyes.

Ginny

Thanks Ginny! I enjoy my kids 99.999% of the time!!!

I must admit, I really love DVC! It is nice to know that we always have a place to go on vacation and the staff at the DVC resorts are especially great!
You could still join...we plan to leave ours to our kids!!

I would like that. I have friends who are members at Vero Beach and they love it. Of course they still have children at home too. We have a membership to something (it was so long ago and we don't go, so can't remember the name) the kids get it when we are gone. Since we don't go now I don't see them going when we aren't around

Maybe I could get Don to sell and buy DVC for me.

Woo Hoo! We got Mickey Mail today!!! Our Magical Express Paperwork arrived! However, it only came with 4 luggage stickers...what's up with that? We used to always get 8. We have 4 people and 2 sets of golf clubs so we need the extra stickers..what a bummer!

Anyway, I called Disney and they are mailing more.....I am glad that I have been there before and I know what these stickers mean. It would be a bummer to be a newby and not have enough and have luggage sitting at the airport!

With all of that said I am still thrilled that we are headed to Disney in 40 days!!!!! It's been rainy here all week and I could use some Disney magic!

How exciting. I love Mickey mail. I know when we went in May they said at that time on one luggage tag per person. It was enough for us and some of us didn't even use them cause we didn't want them to break or get lost. This will be you in 40 days.

Mickey Mail is the best, I'm glad they are sending you extra tags!

I am so happy to report that we will be walking right down the Middle of Main Street USA in 30 days!!! My family is getting very excited!

We also received some more luggage stickers so that all of our luggage gets right off of the plane and right into our Animal Kingdom Villa!!!

In another vein, I had a lengthy conversation with a good friend last night about our lengthy stays at WDW (we average 10 days). He has only done a day or two with his family...He of course thinks that we are crazy for going so long, but I had to set him straight!!! It is so great to stroll through Disney instead of run!!!

Woo Hoo!!! 30 days and the countdown is on!

You are getting closer every day. How exciting.

We are really getting excited! My son is watching one mof the shows I tivo'd from the Travel Channel---WDW Behind the Scenes and he just said, "I really want to go there NOW!!!" I second that emotion!

I called Disney Dining yesterday to confirm all of my reservations and they are all in! Yeah! I am waiting to eat the mushroom filet at Le Cellier!!!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

You are sure getting close. Lucky. It's always comforting to know your ressies have not been misplaced.

As the Good Witch Glinda says, "We couldn't be happier!" All of the plaaning is complete, we just have to pack and board the plane! I made a few t shirts and thought I would share them with you:

First up, a Cleveland Indians Mickey Shirt for my DS

Next, a Pooh and Piglet Shirt for my DD

Lastly, the one I did WRONG, and of course my DS is devastated....because I used the wrong colored shirt, so I have to redo, but this is a lesson to all, do not use too dark of a tshirt with a light iron on transfer!!!

So that's all for today! We are getting closer and I am getting more and more excited to go!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

I so can't believe you are so close. Love the shirts. Even the wrong one. Nothing like making your child angry is there? Like most things in life, it can be fixed. Have a great day.

Ginny,
No kidding! My kids get angry with me and I have to remind them that they are lucky to have a mom as great as me to take them to Disney--LOL!!! Have a great day, too!

I am dancing in my heart for you. I dance like I walk. Very carefully.

Good for you.

The t-shirts are great, I'll have to look for a Red Sox design for Baylor he would love that....

Now it's time to dance along!

 

[cmskok]

Wigd, I wish that I could remember who made the Indians design, but I got it off of the DisBoards...It may have been one of Marion's (rustmanfan)! Spencer loves it!

I am surely dancing now!!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Thanks, I'll check it out! You must be doing some extra crazy dancing now!
