Celebrating 25 years of marriage at WDW in December! WE LEAVE IN 7 HOURS!!!

['OhanaMama]

CONGRATS ON THE EXTRA 1.4 POUNDS. I AM SITTING HERE THINKING 'DO I WANT TO GET ON THE ELLIPTICAL?' NOT REALLY. BUT READING YOUR ENCOURAGING WORDS I THINK I AM GOING TO GO WORK OUT. YEA, ME! THANKS.

 

['OhanaMama]

OhanaMama what are your dates - your countdown says 4 weeks
also where are you staying?

I will have a lime green mickey head attached to my "little" purse.

DH wants to go with as little of stuff into the parks as we can. He purchased a new digital camera that he can wear on his belt loop and me a new purse (I will download a picture of it later).

Who knows we may see each other - wouldn't that be fun!

I have never met another diser at the parks.

OUR DATES ARE: ARRIVING WED 12/3 NOONISH, LEAVING SUN 12/7 LATE!

WE ARE STAYING AT ASMOVIES. OUR TRIP STARTED OUT AS 4 COUPLES CELEBRATING OUR 40TH BIRTHDAYS. THEN 1 COUPLE DECIDED THEY WERE GETTING DIVORCED AND ANOTHER COUPLE HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY AND CAN'T FLY FOR 6 MONTHS. SO NOW WE ARE DOWN TO 2 COUPLES.

I PULLED OUT ALL OF MY SCRAPBOOKING STUFF YESTERDAY TO START WORKING ON MY TAGS AND WINDOW DECOR. MAYBE I'LL GET SOME GOOD IDEAS IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO. I AM PLANNING ON PUTTING TAGS ON MY BACKPACK, ETC. WE DID ALL OF THIS THE LAST TIME WE WENT AND I DIDN'T SEE/MEET ANY DISERS. SO SAD. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

I AM TRYING TO TAKE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AS WELL. WE USUALLY GO WITH THE KIDS IN TOW AND THAT IS NEVER POSSIBLE.

HAPPY 28 DAYS !!!!!

Here's a picture of the purse I got. Won't be able to put much in it

That's ok all I will need is my chapstick, money, debit card, driver's license, and room key.

 

[fire6164]

Here are some of the designs we are thinking about.

DH likes this one for our anniversary

A couple for Christmas and MVMCP

and

I need to make a decision soon - maybe I will do both MVMCP and a Christmas shirt. We each have a shirt that we used for a group family photo that I can put a transfer on. Hmmmmmm will have to think about that.

I HAVEN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF WHAT PURSE I'M GOING TO BRING YET. YOURS LOOKS GOOD. JUST BIG ENOUGH.

I THINK I MIGHT BRING (DON'T MAKE ME SAY IT) MY FANNYPACK.

DON'T JUDGE ME HARSHLY.

THEY ARE ALL QUITE CUTE. MY FAVORITE IS THE ANNIVERSARY ONE TOO. I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY AND MAKE T-SHIRTS. THAT IS BEYOND MY CRAFTY-NESS.

Oh no a fannypack that was great

I found my purse at Kmart.

I got the designs from the creative DISigns thread in Just for Fun. Trust me I am not that creative (and I don't have the software that the disigners have). It's great being able to see the designs and I specifially had a disigner design the anniversary design. She just changed the names that she orginally had.

Now I just have to print out the transfers and iron them on. Shirts are already washed and sitting on my desk waiting to be pressed.

 

[pamouselover]

Wow you are so creative. What great shirt designs! Your DH and you look way to young to be married 25 years. I can not wait to see you photos when you get home. You go so soon to see mickey!

 

['OhanaMama]

I HAVE LURKED A MANY NUMBER OF TIMES OVER ON THE CREATIVE DISIGNS BOARD. THEY DO A FANTASTIC JOB. I'M AFRAID I'D GET A DESIGN AND THEN NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT OR NOT FIND THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT. AND THEN IT'D JUST SIT THERE, SO SAD LOOKING, COLLECTING DUST, IN MY COMPUTER!

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH PAMOUSELOVER, YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 25 YEARS!

 

[fire6164]

I got these two designs from http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1991348

The second one I revamped a little by putting a white shape over the words that they had on the bottom (had someone's name)


I asked Kelly to redesign a design she had made with our names on it. Here is her thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1915843

I made shirts for our trip in January and it was great fun. The grandkids like that I found clipart just for them.
If you are interested in some designs go here - http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=105 there are alot of creative people who are willing to help create a design or revamp one for you.




It's getting closer

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH PAMOUSELOVER, YOU DO NOT LOOK LIKE YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 25 YEARS!

And we have two grandkids - a 7 year old and 5 year old

DD had both her kids during high school. She graduated high school and is currently working full-time and going to college online. She definetly stepped up to the plate and is doing a great job for herself and her children.

When she was a senior her 5 year old who was then 6 months had open heart surgery. She was able to focus on both of her kids and finish high school through that time.

 

['OhanaMama]

I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT THOSE DESIGN THREADS YOU MENTIONED. THANKS!

YOUR DAUGHTER SOUNDS LIKE A STRONG AND DETERMINED WOMAN! I THINK YOU (AND YOUR HUSBAND, OF COURSE) DID A GREAT JOB RAISING HER. RAISING KIDS IS A TOUGH JOB. I PRAY THAT MY KIDS TURN OUT ALL RIGHT.

HAPPY 27 DAYS!!!!!

 

[fire6164]

Whooo hoooo Got our documents yesterday and we got the free 5x7 photopass picture.

Only 25 more days

Here's some pictures from the fireworks at the P&PP in January 2008

Have a great weekend!

 

[fire6164]

So I just sent a email to our TA asking about price quotes for going back either in March or June to take advantage of the new promotion. Here's hoping to another trip

If we go we will have to decide if we are taking grandkids. In March DD needs us to watch them during spring break and that is the week we would go and how can we go and not take them (or we could).

It will all depend on the almighty $$$$$$$$$$.

Don't you think they would like to go again

Just resting after a loooooooooooong day!

 

[pamouselover]

Oh those pics of your grandkids are so sweet.
Here is to 25 days.
Are you packed yet? I started putting somethings in the luggage the other day, and I have 53 days.

 

[fire6164]

I have a bag with one of my cameras, paperwork, ponchos, door magnets, trading pins, and purse in. Will probably pack the Sunday before we leave.

I just found your PTR. Congrats on 25 years! That's great that the two of you are going to WDW to celebrate and you'll get to enjoy all the wonderful holiday magic that WDW has to offer. My DH and I celebrated our anniversary and the holidays last year, at WDW. At the time, we never thought we'd back a year later. It was so magical!!!

I agree that the two of you look so young to be celebrating 25 years together. Are you a teacher? I believe you mentioned something about working on progress reports. I'm a teacher, too! What grade/subject do you teach?

Besides MVMCP, what else do you plan to see and do? You'll trip is almost here! You must be so excited. I can't wait for our trip to come!!! We just finished paying off the trip yesterday.

Did you have them put down on your room ressie that it's your anniversary? Did you tell them for each dining ressie? It's very much worth it. It's not guaranteed, but many will do extra special surprises for you, if it's your anniversary, especially if you tell them it's been 25 years. Also, you just have to get the free anniversary buttons. Many resorts will give them to you, when you check in, if they know it's your anniversary. If you don't get them at the resort, you can get them at Town Hall at the MK.

I can't wait to read more about your trip planning.

Welcome


Thanks for saying we look to young that Wii Fit must really be helping me looking younger

I am a preschool teacher Not sure if progress reports will finished on time. They just laid off the early childhood staff (combo class and childcare) and the 3-5 staff are going to have to teach their classes and then take up the slack in the childcare class. (At least this was the rumor on Friday - should know on Monday how they are going to do this).

We have it noted on our reservations that it is our 25th anniversary and we plan on getting the buttons. We have not made any ADR's since I wouldn't eat enough at each meal.

We went out with DH's boss last night for dinner and I was only able to eat 1/4 - 1/2 of the meal. Made nice leftovers today for lunch.

We plan on attending the MVMCP on 12/4.

We have big plans for each day and will have to see what we can get done each day.

Thursday 12/4 - AK and MVMCP
Friday 12/5 - Epcot and DHS for Osbourne Lights
Saturday 12/6 - DHS, DTD, and finish the evening at MK until close

I am on and off with the exercise. We got the Wii system this past summer, and we plan to get the Wii fitness sometime this winter. Can't wait!

With the buttons on, you might get special treatment, anyway. We did a few times, last year. If you go to any table services, while you're there, just mention your anniversary to them. Can't hurt.

Your plans sound great. You definitely have big plans, but we are the same way. With just the two of you, it's definitely possible to get everything you want done.

You're going to love MVMCP! It was lovely. A little tip, to seeing the parade from a good location. . .Walk towards Liberty Square from Main Street. As soon as you walk over the bridge, stand to the left, right in front of the tree that it's front of the colonial store. They begin roping it off right around that location. Get to that spot early. We did that last year, and a few times, people tried to get into our spots. At one point, we wanted the free hot cocoa and cookies, so I left my DH to defend our location, while I went to get them for us. He's taller and a guy, so it was easier for him to keep people away from my spot.

I look forward to reading more.
