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

Okay trying to bring up my mental map...it's near the turn off for Kali but on the opposite side of the main walkway. So if you were walking from Africa to Asia it would be on your right. You'll see a wooden structure that used to be part of the line for boats that sailed around the AK back in the beginning. Go in there and check it out.

Thanks Megan! I'll have to check it out!

Ohhh have fun in NYC by the way. Can't wait to hear all about it! Happy early Birthday!

Thanks! We actually just got back and it was a lot of fun. NYC is definitely an exciting city!!

So now I have to go and get caught up on everyone's trip reports...haha. I still say go to Blizzard Beach. We've been to both and we just enjoyed BB a lot more. The slides were better and I love the theming.

I saw the announcement for D23. I am debating joining, the cost is a little much for me. But who knows, I'll probably cave and decide to join anyway.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Thanks for the leprechaun!

I don't think I will bother looking into the D23 club. I heard that the shipping is $50 to Canada. I think I'd enjoy it though. Let us all know how much you like it!

 

[as dreamers do]

Hi Cheryl!! Good gravy, I haven't been on the Dis in a long time!! I swear, one of the first things that crossed my mind after logging in was, "I wonder what Cheryl's been up to?" ... and here you are, due to depart in just weeks! From the looks of things, you're acquiring quite a to-do list for when you're in Orlando. We, your humble readers, of course expect photographic evidence of it all!

And what's this I hear about there not being any meets being planned? That simply won't do!

Ohhhh I'm glad you had fun in NYC! Are you going to be writing about it in your TR? I need to swing over there after here anyway.

I'm leaning toward BB but who knows!

That whole D23 sucked me right in. It is kind of expensive so I'm hoping they throw in somemore perks for members. We will see!

Thanks for the leprechaun!

No problem!

Wow $50 to ship to Canada!?! I wonder why so much. Now that is a complete rip off!

Hey girl! Haven't heard from you in FOREVER! How have you been? Any trips planned? No worries about the photographic evidence there will be tons of pictures!

There are a few meets planned with a group from the solo's board and a couple dinner meets. Sadly not with our group from last year though. Megan is heading to Disneyland in May, Julie is going to WDW in Dec and Lindsey hasn't been on the boards too much. I've been keeping up with her on Facebook and hopefully were gonna meet up for a day while I'm down there.

I hope all is well with you shoot me a PM!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It was beautiful here in NH and with the release of the Twilight DVD yesterday one of my friends had a Twlight party last night. Haha yes we are dorks but we had fun anyway!


The boards have been down all day and I have been so excited because I have some news to share. Not really Disney news but very exciting. Turns out I will be taking a trip to Germany in June! My friend Alli (who I've been friends with since we were 9) goes to college in Hawaii so we really don't get to see each other too often. Her parents just moved over to Germany due to her dad's job so instead of coming back to NH over summer break shes going to be heading over there. Her mom has been really lonely since her dad is always on buisness trips so she had Alli invite me along to Germany to visit! This has been in the works for a little bit and to be honest I never thought it was going to happen. Well today I booked my flight ticket and it's official! Thank goodness for a nice big tax return!

So what does that mean for my Disney trip....well.....I'm still GOING! The whole trip is paid off including meals so I don't have to worry about anything. Just if I want any souvies but I don't think I'm going to need any more Disney stuff. The only thing that is changing is I wont be headed to sea world. As much as I wanted to go I could use that extra money in Germany or for some Special Disney treats. I figure I can always go to Sea World next time. It's not everyday I can go to Europe. Alli and were talking about even taking the train to France and going to Disneyland Paris! But right now that's just talk. I just had to share this news with you guys and I'm so excited! Disney is just 50 short days away and Germany is one month after that!

I hope you all had a great weekend! Thanks for sticking with me on this PTR!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Wow! Germany!! That's great news! I went to Germany twice and LOVED it! The people are so incredible and friendly. Where in Germany will you be going? It's not Disneyish at all, but it's so beautiful! What a great experience for you!

 

[Jennifer48]

Wow Cheryl what great news! Congrats on the upcoming Germany trip. Thats so awesome!

I can't believe Disney is only 50 days away now. Its almost here!

 

[bbangel]

How exciting! I can't wait to hear about both trips. Fingers crossed that you make it to DRP!

 

[Leleluvsdis]

That is SOOO exciting that you are going to me going to Germany. I have been several times to visit my brother who is in the military, and it is WONDERFUL!!! It is a completly different way of life. BTW you cannot get a cup of coffee to go lol. The country is breath takingly beautiful. What part are you going to be visiting?

 

[wdwgirl03]

Wow, 2 exciting trips coming up! I'm jealous. Can't believe your Disney trip is so soon.

I'm so excited. I actually can't really believe were going! I'm flying into Stuttgart and her family lives in a small town not far from there. That's awesome that youve been twice! Do you have any tips or pictures you want to share?

Wow Cheryl what great news! Congrats on the upcoming Germany trip. Thats so awesome!

I bet you will! One of these days I'll take a trip outside the country.

Don't know if you saw but I started a new PTR (the link is in my Dec. one ).

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

Wow Cheryl! What awesome news!!!! You must be so excited-two fabulous trips coming up so soon!

I dont blame you for dropping Sea World, you're right, you can go there any time!! Germany is a big deal-SO cool!!!

 

[Julie Mouse]

Cheryl - your news is sooo exciting!! What fun to get to go with a friend, too!! I can't wait to see your pics from that trip!!!!!! You are so close to your Disney trip. I have something like 265 days to go I love Twilight - ran right out and bought the DVD this weekend - we aren't dorks - just hopelessly romantic.

 

[DisneyFreak06]

My only tips for Germany would be to smile and if you need help, ask if anyone speaks English! Everyone I met was very friendly and helped us in every way possible. I don't have any pictures on photobucket, but I'll see what I can do for you. I wasn't near Stuttgart, we flew into Frankfurt, and stayed in little towns called Steinhaus and Margretenhaun I believe, and then we were in Cologne. Take many pictures, that's my only other tip! But you're like me, I'm not worried in that sense!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

I found some pictures I thought you most like. A lot of my pictures were of people, as I was trying to record the memories of the people on my trip too, and we didn't do much sight-seeing. I didn't have a digital camera, so all these were just put on CD when I had them developped. My first trip, they didn't even do that! Anyways, it's been so long since I've uploaded to photobucket, I hope I'm doing this right! (My last WDW trip was in 2007, remember?)

I keep somehow posting the same picture, I'll keep trying!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Oops! I hope you don't mind that I'm posting these here! I guess they are for you though....
