Beautiful tulip pics! Nice looking ladies I spy as well. I also found very little for me at the Disney Store-I like Tink but how many shirts of her do I need??

Love the Tulip festival pics, just gorgeous. Why the heck did you call yourself fat and gross that's so not true. Love the Tink necklace .

Thanks for the compliments on the pictures, the flowers are even more beautiful in person.

I agree, I too like Tink but wish some other characters would get some merchandise. It is all Tink all the time it seems.

I am super excited! My mom was saying yesterday that it is too bad that you are arriving in Orlando a couple hours before us otherwise we could have offered you a ride from the airport to Pop. She is very much looking forward to meeting you.

Ahh Beth that is soooo sweet !! I will have ME but I ould hav loved t meet you at the airport !! We will meet at Aloha Isle !! How perfect to meet at a place that means "Hello"!!!

Yep, it sure was, my Swarovski Tink necklace. I believe you have the same one?

I knew you had good taste!

So I went to the bank yesterday and I got all my American money for the trip. Hopefully I will have some left over so I don't have to change money over again when I head to Ohio later in the summer. I also got a cute new pair of flip flops as my favourite pair that I would normally wear to the parks are on deaths door.

All I have left to do is:

• Pack
• Fill out the cruise forms online to save time checking in at the port
• Test sunscreens to make sure none of them give me a rash.
• Print out the door magnet signs for the cruise
• Get my hair cut

New flip flops are good. I wear flip flops in the parks too. They are my fave park shoe.

Great list. Hopefully it won't take too much time to wipe it out. We only have 11 more days! I'm so excited!!!

I LOVE flip flops, they are pretty much all I wear from spring until the first snowfall. They are just so comfy.

Shouldn't take too much time to complete the list. The packing is the time consuming part because not only do I have to pack but in order to pack I have to pull my summer clothes out of our basement storage room and sort them and wash them.

I was just looking at the Orlando weather and all next week it is going to be in the 90's! I love hot weather but I am just picturing our melting into the pavement from the heat. Good thing we always drink plenty of water, we are going to need it!

Yay for the new flip flops! Not much left to do! It is getting closer by the minute! It is supposed to get over 100 here this week so 90's sound good to me. Except for the humidity YUCK

I used to be accustomed to the heat when we lived in Virginia Beach, the weather here though is much cooler. There are only a handful of days where it gets "hot". I so miss the heat.

The strap between the toes used to bother me when I first started wearing flip flops but now I am so used to it that I don't even notice.

Hi Lifelong-dreamer,I don't know if you remember me. I recognized your name from a PTR I had a long time ago, I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up on this, but just wanted to let you know that I am on board and excited for your trip.

Only 9 days to go!

May 20th - MGM aka Hollywood Studios

I know many people do not care for this park but I love it! It has some of my favorite rides and attractions.

We will of course be at the park for rope drop and will be making the mad dash to Toy Story Mania with the rest of the mob. We will ride it stand-by and grab a set of fastpasses for later. This ride is so much fun! I will beat Mom's score this year, I am determined!

Other must do's:

Beauty and the Beast
Tower of Terror and Rock N Roller coaster for me
I want to see Lights Motor Action as we missed seeing it the last two trips
Animation Academy

We have lunch scheduled at Sci-Fi where I am looking forward to ordering the cookies and cream milkshake (used to make these all the time at my first job) and of course their famous burger.

The highlight of the day will of course be Fantasmic. Right now they only have one show scheduled but I am hoping that they will add a second one closer to the date. If they only have the one we will be camping out front of the theatre very early to guarantee seats.

Still trying to get caught up, just wanted to say from what I have read so far, it all sounds good. I like the idea of a Beach bath day and a drink called the "Pain Killer" That would be my choice. I honestly can't wait for the trip report'

you supa special lucky!!

 

[KatGarcia]

Those are all the things I love about MGM! Except for ToT which I really need to just walk the queue because I am NOT riding it again.

9 days will FLY by!!!!!
