Wow! It's been awhile now since I last posted anything to this PTR. I hope everyone is doing well! The last couple of weeks have been a little hectic with Memorial Day, many friends celebrating birthdays, and my best friend had her baby so I have been spending a lot time working and celebrating! It's all good! The past 2 days, Jon has been really sick with the stomach virus and he returned to work today. Thank God he is doing better! He was so sick! So far, I am doing fine and show no signs of the bug....(knock on wood!) God, I hope I don't get it!!!! Anyway!!!!!
I have started the official countdown and in about 30 days, we will be flying out ready to celebrate Jon's 40th!!!! I am excited! And as of this very minute, he still has no clue what is going to happen. All I got to say is so proud of myself for not slipping with the surprise! Many of you have commented that you can't keep a secret or surprise, but I have done very well. The only one that knows is my mom, my DVC friend, and you guys.
Jon still thinks he is visiting my hometown, which is near the NC Coastline. We were eating at Chili's last week and we were talking. I told Jon that we needed to be working on our base tans so we would not get severely sun burned this summer. Jon replied "Yeah, I don't wanna be sunburned at the beach while celebrating my birthday....." I just looked at him with food in my mouth and acted like I was shocked. So, I played along with him. "How did you find out Mister Know it All?" Then he said, "Oh Honey, I just knew it. I had that feeling. Your mom called me awhile back and I just have that feeling we are going out that way!" I continued to act dissappointed that he found out my secert. He keep on saying, "I'm sorry but you would have slipped and told me anyway!" Later on, he was talking to his sister and kept bragging that he was going to the beach for his birthday. Well, I hope he doesn't get disappointed now when he finds out that we are heading south to Orlando!
Here's an update on what's going on with our plans......
I have decided to change a few things. I could not make up my mind at all!!! I am keeping our ADRs, but changing our park plans. Why? Well, I got inspired by this one couple, who also stayed at WL, who didn't go to the parks at all. They just kicked back and relaxed and enjoyed WL. Sounds nice, but I have gotta have some park time and so does Jon. So, I got to thinking and jotting down different things and now I have changed some things......
After thinking long and hard, I purchased our tickets for our return visit. I have purchased 2 Days with Hopper and water parks/Disney Quest admission. There was another couple's TR I was reading who did the same thing. Not being a copy cat, I took some of their ideas. You will have to stayed tuned and I will let you all know my new plans!
I received my Mickey Balloons from my ebay seller! They are really cool and they look just like the ones on the commercials for Disney and the "Celebrate" advertisements. I am using some of the balloons for my surprise revealing and hopefully some for our room at WL when we arrive! Yay! I am so excited!! Maybe I can buy a toy sand pail with shovel and tie the balloons to it and have the card read "Thought you were going to beach, huh????"
Thanks for tuning back in. Next time, I will have a finalized itinerary ready to share!
And I would love hear about your experiences at any of the water parks and Disney Quest....I hope they are good ones!!!
See ya later taters!!!!
