Barbie and Ken do Disney Trip Report COMPLETED!!

Hey Everyone! :goodvibes

Once again, I apologize for not posting sooner. I have just been pretty busy getting everything set for my trip and everything else that is going on in life! ;)

First up - I bought a Baggallini Messenger Bag! It is black. Here it is :

Todd and I traveled near and far to find that bag without me having to pay an arm and a leg for 2 day shipping, but luck was NOT on our side! :rotfl: I ended up going on EBags.com and getting the google discount so it pretty much equalled off anyway. I hope it was worth it and that I like it. I also hope that it fits over a fleece or sweatshirt because I might have to wear one with the weather and all! :sad2:

The thing that has been on Todd and my mind lately has been money. Our trip is pretty all inclusive with the dining plan and everything, but still. I wanted to make sure we had enough money altogether. My father surprised me BIG TIME yesterday and told me that he was giving me $500 for the trip. Although, I do have to put $200 aside for emergency! I was so excited though! :yay: It was so unexpected. Now we have plenty and should be fine - so NO MORE WORRIES! :goodvibes

Speaking of money - which I speak a lot of because - Hey, if you're going to Disney world your either LOADED and dont need to think about it or your on some sort of a budget. We aren't really on a budget - we just have a lump sum of money that when it runs out well - IT RUNS OUT! :rotfl: But anyways I do always welcome the prospect of MORE MONEY! SOOO! I rolled all our coins and we have over $150!! :yay: I was so proud of us! I was shooting for $130 and we definitely surpassed that! I was proud of us. We are good little change foragers! :laughing: Hmm did I take a picture you ask? OF COURSE!

Definitely the most change I've EVER rolled! :)

Yesterday I got another surprise! My friend Nicole (Cap'njacksgirl18) surprised me yesterday in school! Her and her extremely thoughtful mom (Snowwite) made me an adorable travel present! It was completely unexpected and EXTREMELY appreciated! :goodvibes I was speechless I couldn't even believe it! Here it is:

They filled a black makeup bag with a Mickey and Minni Cellphone jewel kit, a mickey pen, a pink toothbrush holder, a mini lint roller, Ear Planes (these were my favorite.. Im SO glad I got them!), toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, aloe vera, antibacterial wipes, cocoa butter hand and body lotion, winnie the pooh tatoo bandaids and hair elastics! :yay: How nice is that! I still cant get over it. It was such a thoughtful gesture! Thanks Nicole and mom! :goodvibes

So I am pretty prepared for this trip. My hair is nice and freshly foiled. I am TAN to the max! Todd and I did some more shopping over the weekend and were able to buy him some really cute khaki shorts and some polos for our dinners. He will be STYLING in the parks! ;) Also Todd did most of his packing. I still have to pack a lot of my stuff but I have all week and weekend seeing as though I don't have to work. Yes you heard me! I have 20 days off from work! :yay: :yay: I have NEVER had anywhere near that much time off of work since BEFORE I worked! I have never even had more then 7 days off! jeeze, I never even have the WEEKEND off! I am PUMPED! I hate my job if you can't tell. The Joanns Fabric mutants from hell. I hate it there. RRR! :mad: I am SO needing this vacation from that place! Im ready for some magic :wizard: ! BRING THE MAGIC ON!

6 DAYS AND A WAKE UP!

:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

Oh Boy...the magic is about to begin, its only
right around the corner. It is such fun to see how
pumped up you are. I cannot wait till your return
so I can read your TR. Have a WONDERFUL time!!:goodvibes
 

Hey Blayne!!!

I know exactly how you feel right now!!! We're going nuts here!!! My DD, has been jumping up and down all afternoon!!!

1 week from this moment, we'll be boarding the airplane!!!:cool1:

Are you still planning on Epcot Friday night? We might be having a little "internet gathering" with some people from another website I'm on. I'll let you know what those details end up being, if you'd like!

My bank has free money counters. :) I have to bring in my change cause it is weighing down the purse. LOL

:wave: Hi Blayne!

I don't usually read pre-trippies but I've been following jaycns and when I saw your name here on the boards I recognized it and decided to check it out.

I'm so happy to have found your pre-trippie because after reading it from start to finish this morning, you've brought back so many memories for me....and not just Disney memories. I too met my DH in highschool when I was 15 years old (he was 17) and we've been inseperable ever since. We've been married for (counting in my head...lol) 18 years this summer and been together a total of 24 this October. He always tells me the dating number doesn't count but I still like to remind him ;)

You have awesome parents! What a sweet father - and to top it off - he just gave you $500!!!! How lucky is that??????

YAHOOTY

While reading your posts I could feel your excitement and it made me smile. I was the same way when planning our trip last year.

Anyways, you two are a beautiful couple and I'm subscribing to this trippie and really looking forward to hearing all about your "First" experiences of the World and all the magic it will bring to your life. :goodvibes
 
I always say, we had kids in our 20's, raised them in our 30's and we are kicking them out the door in our 40's-but they didn't get the memo, they are all here yet.

Sorry to hijack your thread Blayne but this post had me :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

:wizard: The magic is on its way. Honestly, now Im at that denial stage where I cannot even BELIEVE that I am going to Disney World! I cant wait! - thanks for the good wishes! :goodvibes

i'll have to give it a try! i just don't have the patience lol

Well... you could just FEDEX them too me and I will roll them for you. However, I charge a fee - hey.. I'll give a deal I'll only chrage 6% rather then the 8% that coinstar charges you! lol :rotfl:

Hey Blayne!!!

Hey Pumpkin! Omgosh. Im going nuts too. At random times during the day and/or night I will proceed to make this squeaking sound that sounds like "MEEEEEEEEPP!" and wiggle my whole body and jump up and down. Its quite entertaining I'm sure. I cannot contain my excitement! I was thinking the exact same things as you. Like "hmm... at this moment in exactly one week I will have already been in for this many hours and have done this many things!"

We are still planning on going to Epcot Friday night. We have our Le Cellier dinner ressies that night. They are at 4:00. Let me know what you guys are doing! :woohoo: Like I said before, I cannot promise you I will be there at THIS moment considering Im not sure how to get around the parks ;) but just let me know all the details and we will try to swing by! :goodvibes I cant wait to go! Im so happy for us! YAY! :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo:

My bank has free money counters. :) I have to bring in my change cause it is weighing down the purse. LOL

Oohhhh.. free money counters! How fun! I could never imagine my pocketbook getting heavy with change, I scrap every cent out at the end of every day! :laughing:

I'm so excited for you guys...and CAN'T WAIT to read your trip report!

YAY! Im excited too! 5 days! :goodvibes

Hey blueriver! Im glad that you found my trippie and took the time to read it! Im also happy that it brought back so many memories for you! 24 years. Wow. Thats FANTASTIC! Tell your hubby - Of course the dating counts! 6 YEARS OF DATING COUNTS! Definitely! Wow we are not even 4 years yet. I hope to be celebrating 18/24 someday though - congratulations!

Yeah. My parents are awesome. My father keeps doing this really cute thing where everytime he walks by me he either rubs my head or half hugs me and exclaims "Oh boy Im going to miss you!" haha :rotfl: He has never been away from me for more then like 7 days. He's a little worried about me, but he knows Todd will take good care of me. He told him "If you don't take good care of her, don't bother coming home!" ;) What a kidder eh?!

Thank you for subscribing and I can't wait to give everyone something interesting to read about other then all my penny pinching and excitement! :goodvibes
 
aw shucks blaine, but ill have to pass, looks like i'll have to dedicate a day off to rolling. 8%?? i didnt even realize!! theres gotta be a cheaper alternative...

oh moooom......

hehe.
 
Oh my GOSH! I am so excited for you! You are adorable and you write so well I might add! Great pre-trip report!!! Have a fantastic time! Can't wait to read the trip report!!! :banana:
 
Blayne!!!!! I had to LOL about the Pumpkin!!!!! That's what I call everyone too.....although mine's more like Punkin....hahahha!!!!

Do you guys have an ADR for the night of the P&P party? We have a 5:05 at LTT. Wondering if we'd see you there?.......punkin :rotfl:
 
4 days!!!

How are you sleeping at night my dear? If I were you I wouldn't be!!! I'm so excited for you!

I love the bagallini and I love that you rolled all that change out! You'll have plenty of money. Also, 20 days off from work! That's sooooooo nice.

haha! your funny. Rolling coins is fun. Seriously. You should buy one of those banks where you put the coin rollers in and as soon as you put the money in, it rolls it for you! Linens n Things for like $12. I think its a pretty good investment! :thumbsup2

Oh my GOSH! I am so excited for you! You are adorable and you write so well I might add! Great pre-trip report!!! Have a fantastic time! Can't wait to read the trip report!!! :banana:

OMGOSH! I AM SO EXCITED FOR ME TOO! :rotfl: Thank you thank you thank you! I cant wait to share with you all the fun things that I am hoping to happen! :goodvibes

Blayne!!!!! I had to LOL about the Pumpkin!!!!! That's what I call everyone too.....although mine's more like Punkin....hahahha!!!!

Okay. So Im going to pretend that we aren't separated at birth. Now Im not lieing, because I just dont do that... BUT I say PUNKIN! I cant even believe this. I call Todd punkin, I call Krull punkin, I call every member of my family Punkin, as well as my friends, I also shorten it to Punky and can also be seen calling people Muffin as well. But seriously - i cannot believe you say Punkin too. Im not even sure why i typed "pumpkin" I remember looking at it and being like "why does that look weird?" :rotfl: WELL PUNKIN! I do not have a dinner ADR that night. We have a lunch ADR at 50's Prime Time and are then going to grab something to eat either at Pop before we leave or at the park. I should have made a ressie for that, but I really wanted to try 50's. Umm ya and so I also have a little bone to pick with you. Considering as you know my whole life story and we are best "disbuddies" I think its wrong that I don't even know your name yet! Im just like "Hey Todd Cinderella2004 is going to be at Disney the same time as us" "Todd, Cinderella2004 and fam is going to be at THE SAME PARK AS US!" "Todd Cinderella2004 is going to the P&PP!".. get my drift? So whats your "real life name" you mysterious lady you?! :rotfl: Well this has gotten rather long so - so long for now PUNKIN. :goodvibes

4 days!!!

How are you sleeping at night my dear? If I were you I wouldn't be!!! I'm so excited for you!

I love the bagallini and I love that you rolled all that change out! You'll have plenty of money. Also, 20 days off from work! That's sooooooo nice.

Get ready for the time of your life!

Hey deary! Well, its funny you mention it because me and Todd have not been sleeping well at all. At random intervals in the night one of us will wake up and poke the other one and mock whisper "PSSSSTTTTTT, WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD" .. its quite comical although everytime I hear it said I instantly wake up and hope that we are going right then. Only 3 sleepless nights left!

Ooh I love that baggallini too! I think its wonderful. Of course I rolled my change! I am a "change rolling advocate"! ;) Oooh.. 20 days off from work - im living it up already! I CANT WAIT! YAY! Write more trip report so that I can pass the time! :hug:

:banana: FOUR MORE DAYS!!! :banana:


WoooooooHooooooo! :woohoo:

Have a great weekend!
