What great scrapbook pages! I'm still trying to find the time to put my Disneyland trip photos together from a trip 3 years ago.

You better come home with tons of photos and sit on your computer for as long as it takes, uploading them and posting them!

I might have to have my husband bring me a pillow & blanket.

ready to be there, ready to go yet no, but we did start some packing already

WOW Melanie - what an amazing cake! It looks far to good to eat though!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Hi Melanie! I love your 1/2 marathon pics! I really want to try Vero Beach some time - I never hear much about it from the DIS.

Your cake is really cute, your scrapbook is really fun and you only have 5 days!!!!!

Ahhhhh! You made a pink castle ! So cute! My nanny was a cake decorator at Knott's Berry Farms so I always got cool cakes... like Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, etc. But that castle takes the !

I love the sticker of the hot chocolate Mickey mugs.. so cute

P.S. You were DEFINITELY the one pair of underwear person. LOL

Darn books!

I know.........I am ready to go. If you want to know more about Vero or see more pictures let me know. We were only there for 2 nights, but we really enjoyed it.

I thought about only making the middle of the castle pink like the real castle, but somehow I thought grey icing for the rest wouldn't be so appealing.
I knew it was me.........darn books is right. I have only Breaking Dawn to go. I started it last night.

Mmmm, that cake looks super yummy! It looks too good to eat though!

I am not eating it.........I sent it to work with DH for them to eat. I did make us a small indiv heart shaped cake so we could at least taste it. DH told me to do that after I made the first cake & he had to smell it but we couldn't taste it without messing it up. Smart man. It was lemon cake & I made the icing slightly lemony too!

Aboard the Wonder.......so after our day at EPCOT, we headed to Port Canaveral & boarded the Disney Wonder for a 4 day cruise. We had a blast. We ended up at just a 4 table person for dinner so it was just us & my parents. My Dad was cracking us up at dinner. He was so relaxed. It was amazing-He's a judge/workaholic & you just never see him like this. The Disney magic was working on him. & I even caught him taping his foot along with the music one night at the show.
Here are some more scrapbook pages from the cruise.
Welcome aboard

Nighttime fun

Pirate night

Castaway Cay

Next up fun back at WDW-Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party

Where the heck have I been that I totally missed your PTR!

Your trip sounds like it's going to be AMAZING, I can't wait to read all about it!

I love the castle cake you made, I bet your hand was sure cramping after doing all those star tips

I know mine would have been!

So glad you found me.........I loved your trippie so it's nice to have you reading along for mine.

I did have terrible hand cramps. I kept having to take a break.

 

[Disneygrl36]

I got a call from ABD to ask if I had any questions...............
I said yes, but first of all I am so excited for this trip, I am not sure I can remember them.
She said the weather was nice, but to bring a jacket. She said they think 60 is cold out there.
It was nice to chat for a minute & just brings my excitement level up even another notch. She answered a few more of my questions-about our guides, tips & Walt's barn(she couldn't tell me for sure if it is a go or not).

I have forgotten to mention this & this seems a good place to do it.
This trip will take us lots of places that are normally off limits so I will not have my camera every single place they take us.....so some things I will not have pictures of & will only be able to describe to you. BUT, the guides do have cameras & are able to take select pictures in those places. I will buy the photopass CD for the trip, but I am not sure if we have restrictions on whether we can post those or not. But I promise to do a good job of describing!!!!!!!!!!

Love the cake!! It's so pretty.

And your scrapbook pictures are some of the best I've seen. You're one of those Martha Stewart types that put the rest of us to shame aren't you?

 

[travelmel]

I am not sure if we have restrictions on whether we can post those or not.

I hate rules! I trust you'll do us proud with your verbal images.

Thanks for the compliments Beth. I am not Martha I promise.....I am kinda crafty but nowhere near her level. I also have one advantage that alot of you guys don't have. I am not a Mom with ten million things to do to keep my kids happy. I just have a little dog & husband to take care of, so I have more free time.

I hate rules! I trust you'll do us proud with your verbal images.

I hate rules too, but I will do my best to describe things for you when I can't take pictures. I wish I had a photographic memory.

A couple more pages from the Dec 2006 trip. After the cruise, we came back & stayed at Old Key West for a few days. My Mom stayed with us but Dad flew home. We went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party & had lots of fun.

The last night of the trip we had dinner at California Grill so my Mom who had never been there could eat there & see the fireworks from that wonderful perspective.
It was a wonderful trip.

Up next..............
Cruisin' again but this time on the Magic.

P.S.
WE LEAVE IN 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aburns8]
