Castle Wishes and Dole Whip Dreams (a Sisters Trip )

I just sat here and read all 14 pages of your "This freezing weather is crampin my style" TR and found myself laughing out loud more than a few times! I will for sure be reading this PTR. Did you do a TR for your trip with your mom and your sister? If so, please post the link - I would love to read it as well. I'm thinking that if my friend Lisa and I took a girls only trip to WDW it would play out similar to your trip with Lo. Thanks for the laughs!

Thanks for reading my old TR. I didn't write one for my Mom/Sister trip, I was too busy with school, but if you would like to read my very first TR from my very first trip...the one that started my addiction, the link is herehttp://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1355613

I mighty have deleted most of the pics, but it's my favorite TR cause it's my first experience.
 
I can not believe you took this to the disboards. "Claimed!" :crazy2: rules are rules though.

I strongly recommend a girls only trip! you simply must do this! How exciting your next trip is 7 months away. Do you have a PTR?
 

To answer my own question....probably:sad2:

NO!!! you have not been answering your phone, so i thought you were sick :(and was not posting anything. So now the real question is...how come you were well enough to talk smack about me on the disboards but not well enough to answer my call? Hmmm? I'm gonna let this slide, mostly because what you said was true...I did crap out on that other one:guilty:. My Bad.

On another note...I added 12 dimes to my bottle:cheer2:! Speaking of that, when I was out with Allen the other day, he had asked for some $ to buy flowers for this girl, I went in with him , cuz he's a dude, what does he know about flowers:confused3...turns out quite a bit. where was I going with this...OH YEAH! HE gives me the change, a couple a bucks and 35 cents, I was like "you can keep it, but give me the dime." The florist laughed and said, "I know what you're doing...disney on a dime?" YES!!! I need to take a pic and post it. I also have to read carefully to see what other little secrets you may have shared. I can't leave you alone for a minute...or 3 days!:stitch:
 
523 Days :cool1: I choose to be positive.

In trying to keep the Disney excitement alive I have been continuously working on my Disney scrapbooks, sad to say I am a few years behind, I have been working on my 2010 vacation. My sister did the 2011 scrapbook for our mom and is working on her own now. I was the main picture taker on that trip, I took over 800 pictures....and then proceeded to lose the memory card before printing any out. Luckily for Bo our friend Ally took pics, not a lot but still it's something, and Bo did the photopass, she managed to turn 40 pictures into 400 pixiedust: so she has a picture of her in front of the sorcerers hat, and again in black and white, and again but zoomed in and then zoomed in but in black and white, and again with a princess border, a Christmas border, a celebrate border, basically every border.

This trip we are going to do the photopass again and take advantage of every opportunity, plus Bo will be in charge of the memory card at the end of the vacation.

I can't wait to actually book the trip and put some money down on it, until then..heres to Castle Wishes

I was having fun and reliving the magic! just imagine what I'll do this time...800 pics into??? 1200? It takes some serious skill :artist:and :surfweb:time to turn 40 into 400. Good call not to post those, nobody wants to see all that.

I didn't post them because I don't have them on photobucket, otherwise I would have::yes:: I think it's hilarious, what do people say when you show them pictures of your trip? Do you act like it's normal to have 50 pics of you, same place, same pose?

I have no record of you calling, I would have gladly answered, why would you think I was sick? I got over the flu last week. I thought you were sick cause you didn't call me.

I added 4 dimes, I don't know what Kent added, I claimed his dimes, rules are rules.
 
Disney on a dime, I read on pinterest that if you fill a 2 liter bottle up with nothing but dimes it will end up being around $700.00 So I am trying it

I will not crack this thing open and count my dimes until a few days before my trip. This is going to be my extra fun money for the trip, ya know...for the extras, the things I don't know I want to buy until I see them. I always have a list of what I want to get

1. Mug
2. Blanket
3. Hoodie and or T-shirt
4. Jewelry
5. Blanket
6. Towel
7. Bag
8. Pen
9. scrapbook stuff
10. Frame

That seems to be what I purchase every time. On my last trip I bought a French press and some coffee with my extra fun money, I had no idea I wanted it until I saw it.

By the way Bo, I added 9 dimes today.
 
A lot went in to planning this trip. So many things to decide,:confused3 first and foremost...do we break from tradition? :sad2:Tradition would dictate that we go to WDW in December, however, looking through our passporter we soon discovered several other "seasons" we'd like to experience:idea:. Halloween for surepirate::joker::clown: and the food and wine festival sounds yummy. then there were the spring options with the flowers and everything in bloom:flower3:...this gardners dream come true. BUT, we wanted to maximize our time and money, so we opted for late September. This will allow us to experience the "Food and Wine" festival as well as Halloween. We also figured kids will be back to school and parents would be less likely to pull them out right after starting. (low crowd time...BONUS!:cheer2:) Next, we needed to decide on costumes.We can not go to a halloween party without costumes! we discussed our criteria...convenient to pack, easy to get on and off rides in full costume. We also wanted a theme, our costumes have to "go" together, I mean really, this is a "sisters trip" We wanted to be unique, something clever and thought provoking. SOOOOOoooo, we will not be going as any disney characters, (although it was very tempting.) We have the idea, the concept...but we will not be posting that. To find out what we did, you'll have to wait for the pics and our post Trip Report! The next decision to be made was where??? Again, tradition would dictate Pop Century. We love the bus system, not to mention I think Ty hasn't managed to stay in every decade yet. the food was pretty good, nice pools...convenient and cost effective. Once again though, we're breaking with tradition and by we I mean Ty. (I've only been once, 1 time is not "tradition" yet.) we still want the most bang for our buck, we reasoned that we wont be in the room much...sleeping and showering. better to save our $ for the extras. But then Ty pointed out that she's done a trip with just 2 people, and they had a ton of time left over. Apparently its easier for 2 to decide where to go then 4. So back to square one. we checked on prices, bus systems, pools etc. Ty had some interesting history about the newer "Art of Animation". She sent me some links and we did a virtual tour...We're gonna do it! (Ty will tell you her take on it all.) we're staying at that one ... and we want "the little mermaid"room! I don't know about her, but me and my kids would jump off our sofa ship, into the sea of carpet! "Grimm I lost her once! I'm not going to lose her again!" I'd spend hours taking requests of what to draw next playing outside with the sidewalk chalk. Ursula was a favorite of my boys. I drew that sea witch dozens of times. Ty and I have been talking and planning for 2 years, the whole time she was in school. this trip could potentially cost more than our last one. We have got to make this trip happen, we have to save, save, save! this could be my last trip...TY told me about the "disney on a dime" idea. Ty this is your cue to educate our potential readers of the dime details and post some pics. That being said I need to go decorate my bottle and send you a pic...this seems like a good stopping point. Until next time:wave2:...Dole Whip Dreams!...stay thirsty my friends!
 
:offtopic:hmm, you're last post didn't show til after I put my post on...whats up with that?

Here is Bo's Disney on a dime bottle.




Looks like you have more dimes than me.....not that this is a competition or anything:snooty:
 
I have stayed at Pop for every trip, I love it! But like my sister has said, it's time for a break in tradition, so Art of Animation it is, the Little Mermaid room to be exact, it's affordable and just our size. I can't wait to walk around that resort, try out every pool and take dozens of pictures.

The little mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies, along with the Lion King, Tangled, Frozen, Cinderella.....I have lots of favorites. But anyway the virtual tour of the resort was the deal maker. I mean just the shower design in the little Mermaid room was enough to seal the deal for me.

"Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?"

On my very first trip to Disney when I stayed at Pop Century, Disney was in the process of building the new resort, it was supposed to be an add on or extension of Pop Century, I found this picture in my archives (the box under my bed)

Proof, right there, 20, 30 and 40, a Pop Century resort prequal:confused3 how would they have decorated it? I bet it would of had a huge Icon of Steamboat Willie, maybe Horace and Clarabell? Possibly Snow White considering that was Disney's first full length animated movie, it came out in 37. I mean it could have worked, but I like that they chose something with more up to date movies, solely for the sake of todays kids, to be honest most kids today do not know or have any sentimental memories of the way early Disney cartoons, but what Child doesn't know Aerial, or Simba, or Lightning McQueen?

Photo opps, that's where it's at. I can't wait to pose next to the dinglehopper.

Happy Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday to you too sister. Marrisa doesn't know this, it's a surprise but I can talk about it here. I took Leom to see the Easter Bunny today, He was so excited, smiling and kicking his legs. Gosh I love that baby. I bought a really nice frame and Leom will give it to mommy for Easter.

My grandson Leom, the happiest baby in the world.
 
Hey Bo, I'm cleaning out my big closet, and I found my journal from our mom/daughter trip, should we do a TR? You can post some of your 400 pictures of the same thing. But I'm thinking a TR might get us even more psyched for our up coming trip.

I don't know Ty...I crapped out on one report...how do you think I'd do with two? I'll try...but I'm just saying:mic:

Also Super Cute pic of Leom. Of course that little guy has never taken a bad one. you and your kidlets are so photogenic! Even when Jims got his finger up his nose...still looks good.
