Love the trip down memory lane What was that yummy concoction (Bill's fave) after the Pop picture? Squirrel thief!

Off to check out Piper's PTR!

 

[luvfigment]

Love the flash backs! I really like the picture of you kissing Bill also. I also like the picture of Josh and Abbey in Italy mostly to see Josh in the Disney shirt.

Plane changes huh...interested to see what that is all about.

Hi Brooke. That squirrel freaked us out, it was hilarious. That was taken at Flame Tree BBQ.

Bill's fave is the Key Lime Pie from Sunshine Seasons, he eats it at least twice on our trips. Piper is great thanks for checking out her PTR.

My favorite picture of Josh from that trip is him in a Disney shirt with a smile on his face:

I still can't believe he didn't fight us about wearing it. He really does love WDW, we talk about that trip often .

Before I discuss changing plans I have to talk about Bill’s pin obsession. I am posting this in honor of Dug-says-HI-There formerly known as apirateslife4evr. She was very instrumental in Bill loving pins. Way back on our first PTR she had pixiedusted Bill with 2 lanyards and 26 pins to start his collection. I am still in awe of her generosity. So I thought I would show her and everyone else how those pins have grown into the collection of 195 pins he has now. I bought him a pin bag one Christmas. It is almost full so when we go back we are buying a new one.

I now present THE PINS:

Page 1, this has some of my favorites, my Walt pins. I truly love this man, if not for him we wouldn’t have our favorite vacation destination and I wouldn’t have the pleasure of getting to know any of you. It also has Bill’s grape soda badge I got him last Christmas, we both adore the movie "UP" and Carl and Ellie are really close to our hearts:

Page 2, Star wars mania don’t you think? There are a couple of complete Star Wars sets on this page:

Page 3, more Star Wars pins, mostly ones for various Star Wars weekends:

Page 4, Muppets obsession various sets:

Page 5, other sets not completed, he is really into sets. Disney knows how to get him put out a set of something:

Page 6, pins representing rides and resorts, we hope to add to this page next time we visit WDW:

Page 7, miscellaneous pins:

Page 8, limited addition and party pins:

Here is the lanyard I received from Rosie (englishrose47) it represents the “Fockers” on the DIS. A wonderful group of lovely ladies that have had a thread on the community board for a very long time. I treasure this and need to get back involved on that thread. Do you think I have enough lime green represented here??:

Next installment… the changes that have been made to our vacations plans and a peek at my binder

Your pin collection is WAY more organized then ours...

It is only organized because Lord Vader aka Bill hovers over me when I put the pins up .

 

[Dug-says-HI-THERE!]

OMG, I can't believe that I started this all for you both BTW, I probably have MORE pins for you all, since I STOPPED collecting....mine just SIT around in my pin bags, collecting dust.....anything special you're looking for?

 

[DisMomAmy]

Great pin collection!! I need to figure out what to do next for the boys... their lanyards are REALLY full and I don't even think all of the pins are on them. Not sure if I should buy them each another lanyard, get a bulletin board or something to display them on, or get a bag/case to store them? I'm afraid if I put them in a case we'll forget about them. They each have a set of hooks in their bedroom and have their lanyards hanging on them. At least there we can look at them on a regular basis.

Can't wait to hear about your changes.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

What great pins! Mine are in a Tupperwear container. I've been meaning to copy an idea from a fellow DISer and put them on display on a bulletin board. We've decided to leave the ones we have here at home and start fresh with new starter pins.

I really like the Grape Soda pin and the Partners statue in front of the castle. Is Mickey in a doom buggy on page 6?

Donna, you have given us way too many we couldn't accept anymore, but thank you so much for asking .

I am thinking of making some shadow boxes with Bill's favorites,. He is way into collecting the Star Wars and Muppets pins and right now they have a set of Muppets dressed up as Star Wars people so he is in heaven .

You have a great eye, yes that is Mickey in a Haunted Mansion doom buggy:
