Blowing out 22 candles in Disney World! NEW 8.24 page 25

Yay for getting a decent deal on the plane tickets! I love flying Southwest. And if the flight prices go down between now & May, you can always get that credit towards a next flight. (to Disney!)



And this is going to sound craaaaazy, but our dates are ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME! We'll be there May 10-17th I was playing around with the dates with work, classes, etc and it turns out that was the best week out of May to go!

I'm SO exciteddddddddd!!!!

There is a Lynx bus to Sea World from the TTC. Only $2 each way. I've looked into going to Sea World on my next trip and that is probably how I will go.

I was actually reading about that today. The only thing is I would be so worried about missing the bus at night. I don't want to be stuck at sea world and forced to pay for a $50 taxi back to Pop. At least with Mears they pick up 24/7 and whenever I want.

I'll have to keep thinking about it though!!!!

Yessssss, we definitely have to meet up AT LEAST one time! We're staying at Pop and yep, Jake is coming! It'll be just the two of us!

Hey there...glad you were able to score your airline tickets too. I've been looking at Southwest myself and it's cheaper than airtran **shrug** We were going to drive b/c Airtran was sooo expensive but it's $200 less w/ Southwest and it's a direct flight!! We're going to keep an eye on the flights.

So excited we made plans! Can't wait to meet you and Jake!

Yea I've got a direct flight which is always good. Last time (in 2000) when the whole family went we had a change over and lets just say never again! It was so stressful.

Good luck with your flight search!

Oh my gosh, me too! I seriously can't wait! It's going to be an absolute BLAST!

104 days and counting!

I ended up picking up a baggallini messenger bag and I think it's going to be perfect! So many pockets and hidden spaces it should really hold a lot. I got a wicked good deal on it. $16!!! I'll try and get a picture up soon.

So for my b-day dinner I've decided on Turf Club at Saratoga Springs. From some of the reviews I've read they have a little patio and if the weather is nice they will seat you out there with a view of Downtown Disney. Oh and Lauren (Lauren_Elizabeth) and her son Jake will be joining me! We have talked online and through the Dis for what seems like forever so it will be so exciting to finally meet her and Jake! After dinner we are going to head over to the Magic Kingdom and watch wishes and spectromagic. I'm really excited, I think we are going to have a blast!

Other than that I have no new news to report. I'm still waiting for the May hours to be posted and hopefully they will be next week. Then I can really start planning!

Ohhh, what color Baggallini did you buy? I have a yellow one that I used on our trip in 2006 and I loved it! And $16?! That's an awesome deal!!

Speaking of 2006, that's the year that we started talking here on the DIS! Can you believe it? About 3 years now! It's about time we finally get to meet up!

Mmmm, I was looking at the Turf Club menu again today and it was making me so hungry! Definitely looking forward to that meal and then heading over to the MK afterwards!

TJ Maxx has some great deals! I got a black one. Figuring it would be least likely to get dirty.

Wow it's really been 3 years now?! Hopefully we can plan another day to hang out besides that night. Since after 3 years we need more than 5 hours of hang out time!!!!

 

[jewels1916]

Hi Cheryl! I followed you over from my ptr Subbing in for your double-digit days count down!! Spending your 22 b-day at Disney World! Sounds fabulous!! Looking forward to more!

I might have to make a trip over to TJ Maxx this week! Yeah, my yellow bag got dirty pretty fast, so the black was a good idea!

We'll def have to plan at least another day to hang out! I'm game for whenever! We can walk around World Showcase one evening or even hang out by the pool, anything!

So it's been a VERY cold and snowy day here in NH so I've been doing some Disney planning. Even though the May hours aren't out yet I made a list of a few "must see's" that I need to hit.

-Explore the Boardwalk (try it at night)
-Planet Hollywood at DTD (using that voucher that comes with the package)
-The new T-shirt shop at DTD
-Beaches n' Cream
-Try and get to AK for PM EMH (heard it's like a whole different park at night)
-Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard beach (never been to a WDW waterpark and I have a ticket from a family trip in 2004)

I haven't decided which water park to hit yet. I was hoping you guys would have some input!

Also here are some pictures of the new bag I was talking about yesterday.

Inside the biggest pocket...

Inside the front pocket. Already packed my pedometer!

The best feature is the pocket on the strap that goes across your body. Perfect size for my cell phone. I can never hear it ring so hopefully I can hear it now if it's right infront of me!

While I was taking pictures of the bag I decided to take pictures of some of my Disney collection I've collected over the years.

Some of my snowglobes. The flowers are from O'hana at the poly and yes I actually saved that cookie box. I thought it was cute! lol!

More snowglobes...

In 2005 my family and I were coming back to the room and we found that mousekeeping was just leaving our room. We were so excited that she had left a towel animal. She saw how excited we were and made 2 more for us. She told my brothers and I we could take them home!

I bought this light in Epcot's China and the banner behind it is from Epcot's Japan. It says 'Dream' in Japanese.

Last but not least not really Disney but here's my little bird Lilo! She wanted in on this TR too!

So yea that's not even half of it. I just love the gift shops and spend a lot of quality time in them.

The 100 day mark is coming fast and up hopefully the park schedule will be up soon!

Cute shelves! I like how you have it all on display. Mine is scattered all over my room and some in boxes.

 

[jewels1916]

It's cold and snowy here too...eh. I hate being out in the ice.

Blizzard Beach would be my vote! I loved it!! Actually, I was watching Travel Channel this weekend and they did this show on Extreme Waterparks, and Blizzard Beach was number 1!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Oooh, fun update! Sorry it's still so snowy by you...luckily we haven't gotten any in about a week but it's still pretty cold. Your must-sees look great. As for the water parks, I vote for Blizzard Beach. We liked the slides there a lot more. Plus you could go to Winter Summerland since it's right there. Though that water coaster at Typhoon Lagoon seems pretty cool too...

I love all your Disney stuff! It's so much fun seeing other people's collections. And your bird is very cute...my mom had one that looked exactly like Lilo but he died over the summer.

Thanks! The shelves are pretty messy. I should probably organize and dust them since I have the time today!

Sorry you are in the snow too!

Thanks for the input on Blizzard beach! That's cool that it was voted #1!

Ohhh I never thought of that with Winter Summerland I totally forgot it was there. That's one thing though as a solo it wouldn't be very fun. We will have to see though.

Aww so sorry about your mom's birdie!

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

I love all the Disney stuff!! I have a few towel animals too, that we've saved over the years. And we have that same picture frame, the wood one w/the swirly silver Mickeys on it. We bought it this past trip. I love it!

You will LOVE the Baggalini. We have it in tan, DH carries it but it holds SO much, and that pocket on the strap is great for all kinds of things!!!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I like the bag! I looked at those once, but then I figured that most of the time while travelling, I'll have my camera bag too, and my camera would not fit in one of those!

I love all your Disney stuff. I called one of my sisters in to show her, and said, "See, I'm not the only one!" She still laughed at me! I don't have much of my Disney stuff out, I put it all away and then when I buy a home, I'll have tons of it to bring out and it will feel brand new!

Looks like a fun trip. I've been debating going over March, but I've been really good at trying to budget myself, and a trip just wouldn't help. Although, if I happened to get the pin for the $500 gift card I've been hearing about, I would jump on that!

Lilo is adorable too!

My DN and I went to Typhoon Lagoon, it was fun. From what I hear, Typhoon Lagoon is a more lush and less pavementy so if it's really hot, it's extremely hot at Blizzard Beach. Whichever park you choose, I'm sure you'll love it.
