Tink, I'm sorry I'm behind, but glad to know you are still staying at CSR. I will answer your messge on FB soon.

Thanks for the message, LOVED your news!

We are keeping August's resie as is, CSR. Cancelled September's. Changed the weekend in October and the resort from ASMo to CSR. Changed the weekend in November, but kept resort the same, POP. Changed the weekend and the resort in December from POP to POFQ.

Now hopefully dh's schedule will change as we think it will, or I might be back to square one again!

Totally off topic, I need to either find a new laptop for ds17 or buy more memory for his computer. I went to download his school work for this coming school year, and got flagged there it cannot download. There is not enough memory. His laptop is 3 years old. Mine is 4. Our desktop died a few months ago. Is it more economical to buy more memory on an old computer, or to get a new computer that has plenty of memory?

Yep, CSR two more times!! The first one is during a convention, Police Athletic League. They start the day after we check in, and run through that whole weekend. Wonder how that will affect the pool and Pepper Market?

Thanks for the message, LOVED your news!

Anakin keeps asking when he is going to see the pretty girls with long hair again. I told him hopefully in a couple months! Have you heard if Rachel will be singing outside or inside? I checked out their schedule online and they still don't have anything posted for 10/14, but do for dates around it. If she is outside, everyone nearby on the West Side will hear her!! We often stop and listen to the guitar players/singers outside.

Did online check in today! I am really thinking about buying the photopass DVD. We keep buying photos and forking out $20 here and there. Debating whether or not the $99 pre-order special would be a good splurge or not? It's $50 off the regular price. But we are only staying 3 nights. Decisions...decisions...

Going back to ADR making. Going to cancel most of the Sept and Oct ADRs I had made for those trips that have now been cancelled or changed.

Thanks!

I got too antsy and couldn't wait until Monday. Went on the assumption he will work the same hours as the person he is replacing. So I went forward and booked those rooms before they slipped away.

Oh my being sick stinks, so much DIS to catch-up on! I atleast read the important stuff so I can reply!

for online check-in, so your so close! Sorry about having to change your other dates! but for saving money, and its great your DH got the job!

I love Photopass and we always pre-order, I don't know if you would be able to make it worth it for 3 days tho, just an idea but the dates of your november and december trips, are they less than 30 days apart? maybe you could preorder the cd for nov and add decembers trip also?

The laptop would depend on the laptop, what brand and model does he have and how much memory? is it new, under warranty? when was the last time he ran disk defragment and disk cleanup? DH is a computer programer so I can try and help! PM me if you want

I hope you are feeling better!

We bought a Dell laptop yesterday. Got a $150 rebate on it and a $100 visa card since ds17 had a college ID. Good thing he is dual enrolling this year!

All his homeschool courses are downloaded on it now. He started school today, and starts his college class on Monday.

I went ahead and pre-purchased the photopass cd. I will make sure to search for photopass photographers. Hoping to get a family picture to use for our Christmas card. Last year with all of the health problems of Anakin I didn't get a pic of the boys until the end of Dec. Maybe I can get an early start and get my cards out on time this year! I hope we can find someone to do some of those magic pics. I love the Tink sitting and Stitch icecream ones.

Hoping Anakin can do the Jedi Training this trip. He did it when he was 4 years old, but not since. And now he is so much more of a Star Wars fan. I read at Stitch Kingdom that you can get the Jedi training pics added to your photopass!

I do have to say that the photopass site does not explain how the pre-paid photopass works. Do I get a code to enter? I printed out my check out receipt and it doesn't really say anything.

Doing the single digit dance!

 

[momabaarjo]

Love the single digit dance...wish I was dancing right along with you to WDW! Oh well, I can live through you.

Tell me more about Jedi trainingl...I am wondering if my boys would like to do this.

 

[dizziedupbaby0127]

Ah the mystery of photopass! Photopass will send you an email in a day or so containing a code basically a giftcard. Once you get home from your trip, you upload all of your photos ( and yes you can upload as many cards as you wish) do your editing then add a photopass cd to your shopping cart. Then you go to that email and enter the code they gave you, it. Update the price of the.cd to FREE! It's really not hard!

I will.say the tink photopass was easy.we.found.people to do that one in like.everypark! Our favorite was near the castle on the bridge going over to tomorrowlando,i think near the rose gardens. I also love the baby simba one, AK on the main bridge or right in front of the tree.

That's great you were able to get him a new laptop! Dell's are good computers, especially for.a college kid! And awesome job on the discounts!

I will keep my fingers crossed anikin gets in to the jedi camp! thats so exciting!

I am feeling a bit better, thank you, It must have been one heck of a bug, maybe he flu, because I.got.sick.Saturday and I still feel stick tofay, very unusual for me and horrible with a toddler!

Thanks for joining in with me! I wish you were headed to WDW with us too!

Jedi training is so much fun! It use to be they picked the kids right before the show, so it was potluck. But now you pre-register earlier in the day. I need to read up on where and how it's done. Then when it's time the child goes up on stage. Learns how to activate a light saber. Learns a little routine, then goes up against Darth Vader. They get a light saber and jedi robe to wear during training. All the while, a photopass photographer is busy snapping pics of it all!

I hope your sweet child or dh don't catch your bug! Those type of things are not fun to share.

Thanks for the info on the photopass. Still waiting for the email. The simba one is really cute! Do you just ask if they can do those special photos? Is there some kind of buzz word to use to ask for them?

I am going to have to read up on this...and decide if Boo and Goo would like this. Really not bug star wars fans...I know they would love to do the pirate makeover at MK...but they would pick the skull face and this mama is not having pictures ruined all day with skulls!

How did Anakin do getting his braces yesterday? You were on my heart!

Pictures posted on the TR. He did surprisingly well. Thanks so much for the prayers and thoughts. He laid so still to get them. They put him in a private room to do it. The whole office is very relaxing and calming. Each chair has a view of a lake. The lake is like something you would see at Disney. There is a robotic alligator in there that occasionally moves, there is a crashed plane, robot frogs, but real Koi in the lake.

We went to MK later in the afternoon. We made the best out of it.

Eating was hard for him though. He drank a carnation instant breakfast drink, applesauce and icecream. He tried to eat a small pretzel stick and it took him an hour to suck it. He had a difficult time chewing his seizure medicine too. But this morning it went down with no problem!

Poor little sweetie, I thought about him all day...Let me go see the pics...

I received my email from photopass yesterday. There is NO code to enter on that email. It says thanks for pre-ordering and that a credit will show on my account.

After getting Anakin braces yesterday we headed to MK for some fun to help him forget they were on him. We decided we might as well start getting pictures taken. This was the photopass we were given. It came in a little pouch that explains how to opt out of the castle photo display.
