Anyone Up For a Little MAYcation?!! A May 2012 WDW PTR with a side of.....

[ddluvsdisney]

Thanks!

Oh I wish I would have had an ON gift card, it would have made my checkbook a whole lot happier!!

I started to pack a little too. Mostly DH's clothes that I know he won't be wearing between now and then. Plus park bags, and mister fans, and things like that.

Right now I am thinking that we can definitely fit it all in 4 carry-ons and only 1 checked bag, but I know I've thought that in the past and we always end up with 2-3 checked bags.

I haven't been paying too much attention to the forecast down there yet, I'm hoping we won't have to pack any pants or jackets.

I wasn't either until someone on the April thread said it was gonna be in the 90s this week!! I checked weather.com- low 90s until Wed. then high 80s. I'm not going to pack any jeans as of now. Whenever I do nobody wears them even for our April trips. (of course I never pack them for August )
We usually all just wear a sweatshirt to the airport so we have one for the trip. I'm the only one that uses mine though (only at night for parade of FW).
We always have 2 checked bags- one for us, one for kids. Love my Southwest

Hey, did you check the rehab schedule on the Dis home page? It has the SAB closure until 4/23...if that is the case, you should be okay! i wasn't sure if you had seen that, or if they recently changed it.....

 

[ronnmel]

I subscribed to this page a few days ago, but it wasn't until today that I was FINALLY able to read it all. You are one chatty bunch.

Staying at the Beach Club is awesome. Hopefully SAB will be opened!

When you say you went shopping, YOU WENT SHOPPING!! Once again, you got some really cute things! It's so funny, the first pic of the cute halter dress - it looks like the very same colors in the dress I wore today to my niece's shower. It's what I guess I would call coral and white, and a big floral print. I had told someboday it was orange and white, but it's not really orange. Maybe mango would be a better description. Anyway, I hardly ever buy really bright or loud colors, usually a lot of black and white (hello, Jodi! ) But this dress just caught my eye one day when I was in Stein Mart. I really liked the style of it, too. I love the halter style of your dress. You got some really cute tops, too! Who are the toddler shorts for? Just kidding, you lucky tiny thing. I love the shoes - they are very much a style I like.

With all these new things and the clothes from last year, you must be all set!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

What a great shopping trip! I love all of the things that you got and, like you, I wouldn't have been able to pass up a $3 dress even if it did come from Walmart.

 

[wakica]

NICE shopping trip!!! i love the dress. I've been shopping 3 times over the last few weeks and have 3 dresses (need one for a beach wedding as well as DD's grade 8 grad) and I don't know if i like any of them completely I have all three of them still but need to start returning the ones i'm not going to wear already but i don't think i'll ever find one i absolutely love. Dresses just don't fit me right i just love the orange though!!!! And you did really well!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

DHS is your least fav park??? I love that place!! Love RNRC, TOT, Star Tours, TSM, Backlot Tour, Muppets, Indiana Jones, LMA, all of it!!! And I think I enjoy most how we can get through all that in only a half day and it gives us the rest of the day free to shop, eat, relax, or swim. Or all of the above!

Thanks for the link. Looks like MK is still quite a mess. It will be interesting to see what it looks like now that you can get to Dumbo & Barnstormer....

I wish TT would stay open another couple of weeks, but that's probably not going to happen. IDK when it is supposed to be done. I think they are just saying fall 2012...That's kind of a broad range of time.

I'm really dreading the long lines for Soarin while TT is down.


I thought of you when I was in Old Navy this morning Meghan!

I love the atmosphere of DHS, just wish there was more to do. Madison is still very hesitant about ToT and RNRC, so that just leaves her with TSMM, Star Tours (which was closed on our last trip) and the Great Movie Ride. She didn't like the Backlot Tour (thought it was boring) or the Little Mermaid (needs an update BAD). We've seen all of the shows too. Indiana Jones has been the exact same show since I was 9 years old, so I don't really need to see it again. LMA was too slow moving for me, but I LOVE Beauty and the Beast. I also don't need to see Fantasmic again until Cole gets older. Getting out of there is the WORST!

I'm hoping that some more stuff in Fantasyland will be open in September...especially the Be Our Guest restaurant!

I need to get myself to Old Navy this week. I have a few coupons that are burning a hole in my wallet!

 

[JoBird]

Well hey- did you think I'd fallen in a hole?? Sorry.

I love all of your stuff you bought! I can't believe you got such great things and I didn't even know you were shopping. I guess you took me seriously when I said to just go do it!!!!

Like everyone else I love that halter dress! It is really pretty! And the shoes are so cute too! Everything is rolling right along- pretty soon you will be there!

As far as the weather-- it was 92 here Saturday so I'm hoping it isn't too hot for y'all when you get there.

Good shopping!!!!!!!!! Very productive day! Yay!

 

[lmillercrew]

YAY for shopping!!! Did you hit the ON one day wonder sale on Sat? DD works there and I used to, so we LOVE the one day wonder sales!

I see it is 88 down there today!!! Very much looking forward to it! We'll probably each take a light jacket, but no jeans!

Well they are saying it is starting on April 9th and they are expecting it to last about 2 weeks, so probably where they are getting the 23rd as an end date. I hope it is right!!

Welcome Mel! So glad you're here!! How are you doing???

Yes, I WENT SHOPPING!

That's the only halter type dress I have, so I hope it's comfortable. It seems to be! It is pretty bright, I might even say orange! Not really a color I would normally pick, but I liked it!!

Toddler shorts Not hardly!! But I do enjoy buying shorts at ON, they run big so I always have to get a size smaller. That's always a good thing.

What a great shopping trip! I love all of the things that you got and, like you, I wouldn't have been able to pass up a $3 dress even if it did come from Walmart.

Thanks Lisa! Yep, you know my cheap self -- couldn't very well pass up a $3 dress!!

NICE shopping trip!!! i love the dress. I've been shopping 3 times over the last few weeks and have 3 dresses (need one for a beach wedding as well as DD's grade 8 grad) and I don't know if i like any of them completely I have all three of them still but need to start returning the ones i'm not going to wear already but i don't think i'll ever find one i absolutely love. Dresses just don't fit me right i just love the orange though!!!! And you did really well!!

Thanks!

I hate when I have unsuccessful shopping trips like that. I hope you will find some dresses you like very soon. I was very lucky this weekend in finding that much stuff that I liked and that fit right. Being only 5' a lot of times things look dumb on me.

Yeah, once Madison is ready for TOT and RNRC she will like DHS a whole lot more. I'm surprised my DS10 likes the place so much when he doesn't ride those things either. We try to alternate Indy and LMA every other trip so that we aren't seeing them both every year. Only did VOTLM once and thought it was okay. Still need to see B&TB!!

You better get to ON!!

Well there you are!! I hope you got a lot done this weekend!

As you can see, I did!! I was only listening to what you told me to do!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I'll probably wear the dress to dinner one evening. Not sure which one yet.....

92 already? I'm hoping for mid to upper 80's at WDW!!

YAY for shopping!!! Did you hit the ON one day wonder sale on Sat? DD works there and I used to, so we LOVE the one day wonder sales!

Yep, I hit ON Saturday morning and then went back Saturday evening!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Forgot to mention that our WDW park tix from Undercover Tourist came in the mail today!!!!!!!!!!!! That was unexpected! When I ordered them last week they said expected arrival date of April 16th. They came 2 whole weeks early!!

 

[JoBird]

YAY for tickets already!!! I had the same thing happen to me--- I ordered them and they came in about three days. Very surprising! Make sure you program their phone # into your phone- in case you have any issues pop up.

It's so close now.... aren't you excited?????????????????

 

[lala3291]

Wow...you certainly did some shopping! I love shopping, especially for things for WDW!
And that's great about your park tickets already coming in the mail! That was super fast!
Hope you had a great weekend!

UT is good they came quick for us too.
It's such a relief I'm sure. I wanted to get mine last week. I felt so much better when I had them in hand.

I think I just ordered them last Thursday! I was very surprised when they came today!!

I'll have to get their number put in my phone. Hopefully there won't be any issues!

Everything is coming together!! We are very excited! The only thing bringing us down is that stupid evening flt down.

Wow...you certainly did some shopping! I love shopping, especially for things for WDW!
And that's great about your park tickets already coming in the mail! That was super fast!
Hope you had a great weekend!

What can I say, I was in a mood Saturday!! You are right, shopping for Disney is the best kind of shopping!

UT is super speedy!!!

UT is good they came quick for us too.
It's such a relief I'm sure. I wanted to get mine last week. I felt so much better when I had them in hand.

Yes, it is such a relief having them here!! Can't wait to use them!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Wow! Talk about fast service!

 

[ronnmel]

Welcome Mel! So glad you're here!! How are you doing???

I'm doing great, for the most part. Aside from a few small annoyances, pregnancy has been treating me well.

 

[Dancegrl624]

You better get to ON!!

I'm sure it will be more enjoyable for everyone once she starts riding those. Beauty and the Beast is a great show! I'm sure it's not an easy task to get your 3 guys to go sit through it, but it's not that long.

I plan on going to ON tomorrow!!! I wanted to go today, but Cole was miserable.

By the way...love all of your purchases!
