BobbleHead's 5th Birthday Trip PTR - Happy Turkey Day! - 3 days to go!

[cltk78]

Sorry it's taken me a while to come back and catch up.....

I just saw that you guys are gamers on PS3 and Wii. I have a Wii also and PS3. My PS3 name is CLeger if you ever want to hook up on there. I play Little Big Planet and Rock Band 2. My DH's name is LexDeath and he plays the Call of Duty games

Your boys are SO cute! I love that you call your oldest BobbleHead! Babies really are like that. haha

My PS3 name is TokyoGirl, I think. I haven't played on PS3 in a while. I'm currently Fable II on the 360, and DH is currently playing Fall Out 3 on the 360. We have Little Big Planet, which is one of BobbleHead's favorite games. We have Rock Band 2, but for the 360. We play it individually, as a couple, and as a family (on the no-fail setting as a family).

Thank you! I think so, too! Here they are last week at the zoo:

Very cool stroller. The boys look super comfy in it!

Congrats on the new car! I LOVE Honda! I have an '06 2 door Civic and DH has a Ridgeline. They've both been great cars!

I too was planning on going to MVMCP on the 3rd but now since they are not doing that date we are going to the one on the 1st. Let me just tell you that before we went to MNSSHP we weren't really sure it was going to be worth the extra $ but it SO was! So much so that we have been to that party twice now and are really looking fwd to the Xmas party. If you change your mind about it I think you guys would love it! Even if it's not on Bobble Head's bday.



My vote is the pirate one for bobble head and the blue one for blue eyes

I love our stroller! And it is very comfy. The best part is that it has an adjustable recline, which comes in handy if the boys fall asleep in the stroller, which BlueEyes did last week at the zoo.

Thanks! We love Honda also. We had a '06 Pilot, but we turned it in at the end of the lease in February. I really wish we had purchased it, instead of turning in. I really loved it. Oh, well. I do love CR-V.

I'm still debating going to MVMCP. $160 is just a lot of money.

I think those 2 ears are definitely the ones I'm going to order.

lots of celebrating to do!!

And happy early birthday!!

Thank you!

If my math is correct your birthday in on June 12. (2 + 10=12 right?)

As our worlds get even a little smaller for we have one more thing in common. Are oldest boys names, you almost named your second son my second sons name and now a birthday. No not mine. Aidan will be 2 on June 12.

Yep! June 12 is my birthday.

Wow! That's amazing! It truly is "a small world after all". LOL!

And happy early birthday to Aidan!

I still don't see what the draw is to Xbox 360 over PS3. My DH and I are considering getting the 360 but the fact that you have to pay to play online AND it doesn't even have a wireless adapter that comes with it really really turn me off from spending my $ on it.

Very cute updated pictures of the boys from the zoo.

Oh yeah the Pilot is a lovely car. I sometimes wish I had gotten something bigger than my Civic but I still love it. My next car will either be an Accord or something luxury like a BMW or something. But that's quite a ways down the road yet.

You're right, $160 is a lot of money but I still think it's worth it if you can swing it. There's lots of activities that they do during the parties that they don't do during normal park hours.

So in 76 days, I'll be making our one and only ADR online, and not wasting cell phone minutes calling to make them. WooHoo!

It's officially 90 days until our trip, and I made our one and only ADR online bright and early this morning.

We're scheduled for 7:40am for breakfast at 'Ohana for BobbleHead's birthday.

I'm really excited! This is our first time eating there.

Glad you got the ADR you were looking for! I am making mine on Saturday morning. I'm so nervous! I really hope the park hours are updated before then.

Me, too. I excited to finally have the park hours for December so I can finally do some real planning.

I've decided that every Friday night from now until we leave will be Disney Family Movie Night. I listed all our Disney movies alphabetically in Excel and then used a random sequence generator to assign each movie a week. We actually have more movies than weeks.

This week's movie is: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

The final movie before we leave will be Wall-E.

Here's the complete list:
Chronicles of Narnia
Little Mermaid
Tigger Movie
Toy Story 2
Chicken Little
Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest
Cars
Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End
Ratatouille
Monsters, Inc.
Toy Story
Incredibles
Wall-E
Pirates of the Caribbean 1: Curse of the Black Pearl
Lilo & Stitch
Lion King
Finding Nemo

Cute idea with the movie night! It will help count down those weeks!

[Leger13]

With November/December hour in hand, I finally sat down to come up with a new tentative itinerary, which may or may not change between now and our arrival at Disney.

Tentative Itinerary:
Our touring plan (thus far) for each day. We plan to leave the parks mid-day to go back to the resort for lunch, naps, etc, and then head back to the parks in the afternoon.

11/28 : Drive from home to DH's grandparents in North Augusta, SC. Approximately 4 hour drive.

11/29 : Leave North Augusta ~7am (approximately 7.5 hour drive); Arrival at Animal Kingdom Lodge hopefully by 4pm (this includes allowing for stops for food, gas, restroom); head to Downtown Disney for shopping, dinner at Earl of Sandwich, and dessert at Ghirardelli; possibly go to Disney Hollywood Studios for evening Extra Magic Hours

11/30 : morning EMH at Animal Kingdom; evening EMH at Magic Kingdom

12/1 : morning EMH at Epcot; afternoon/evening at whatever park we feel like doing

12/2 : morning at Magic Kingdom; evening EMH at Animal Kingdom

12/3 : Liam's birthday - 7:40 am Character breakfast at 'Ohana; rest of the day open to whatever Liam wants to do; must stop by a park to pick up his Birthday Fun Card; I may try to schedule a private resort photo session for this day.

12/4 : morning at Disney Hollywood Studios; evening EMH at Epcot

12/5 : possibly morning EMH at Disney Hollywood Studios; Departure

Thanks! I just need to decide which resort to do the session at. I'm leaning towards Poly since we'll be there anyway for breakfast.
