[LaurenMic]

Hi Nichole! Hang in there, sorry that things have been so crazy for you! Your kids are lucky that have such a great mom who is so involved I'm with you on the bowling, that's so sweet of you to take her out, really good idea, but mini-golf is way better, got to enjoy this warm weather!!

Good luck getting through the next couple months, just think you are less than three weeks from your trip!! That is so awesome! We can patiently await your next update

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Hey Nichole! Just checking in with ya. I totally understand being so busy this time of year. At least it makes the time go by fast until your trip to Disney!

Congrats to Kaylee for the straight A's!

Hey Nichole! Sorry I have not been able to catch up lately! Sounds like you have been very busy lately too! I can't wait for our trips to get here. I will most likely start a PTR later today - I'm getting to the point where I need a place to organize all my thoughts and "normal" people get tired of listening to a "disney-crazed" person talk about it everyday!

Congrats to Kaylee on her report card! I hope the next couple of weeks fly by!

Sara

Hi Sara,
Thanks . I can't wait either. I have been working a little on my park plans this weekend. But it has been so nice out so hard to stay inside. Things have been absolutely crazy here, can't wait until June when the kids activities are less and school is out.

I hope you start your trip report soon. No one wants to hear my Disney crazed talk either including my own family . Kaylee so far as only had A's on her report card. But maybe because we reward her. I don't know too many bad students in third grade though .

Hi Lauren thanks for the hug. Yes being involved means being very busy every single second. Lately been feeling a bit unappreciated by DH and the kids. I will need that luck to get me through the next 6 weeks . So excited our trips are getting close!

This time of year is usually crazy but seems I have so much more this year with Thomas in Preschool and playing T Ball. Yes time will fly by, hope I find time to pack . Thanks for the congrats on Kaylee's grades. She loves getting good report cards.

Hi there! Just stopping by to say Hello! In less than 17 days we will be at WDW!!!!

 

[kaysmommie]

Finally today I will find time to get caught up on Laundry. I haven not had any luck finding out for sure if Remy will be in France on Sunday yet, so far the schedule looks like he is there on Monday -Saturday the dining CM's are not sure yet for my dates. I will try calling back next week. If I don't make the Epcot meet then I'm going to another day to our 1 day passes from October (never used them) so we can go MK on Saturday and see Spectromagic/ dole whip meet. I have missed Spectro the last two trips so it's a priority for me since we won't be going back for at least a year or more .

So most likely this will be our schedule...


DAY 1: Arrive MCO take ME to SSR. Have lunch and maybe a swim, hoping our room will be ready and we won't have to switch the next day.
Evening in DTD or MK for Spectromagic/Dole whip meet

DAY 2 : Waterpark day & Dinner at Kona Cafe (still have Hoop Dee Doo ADR, I need to cancel one of these)

DAY 3: Epcot all day and dinner at Chef's de France

DAY 4 : Hollywood Studios, lunch at Sci Fi / dinner - CS not sure where?

DAY 5: Magic Kingdom- Thomas 's Birthday!
Dinner at Chef Mickey's,

DAY 6 : Animal Kingdom for early breakfast ADR.
Dinner at Le Cellier then maybe Illuminations or Spectromagic (if we didn't go on Saturday) depends if we can make it there in time to get seats.

Departure day: Early flight home, well probably have to be on ME around 6:30 am . Sad we are not stay for Star Wars weekend but Tommy has work and Kaylee has rehearsal she can't miss.


Hopefully I will have some pics later of Thomas' first T Ball game (battery died before we got to Kaylee's Musical )
I have been picking up a few things for our trip over the last week. I have to empty our memory cards first though. On top of everything else with the end of school year and kids activities I want to have a yard sale next weekend. I absolutely dread it. thanks for hanging in there. After the trip i'm sure i'll have tons more time for updates promise.

17 more days!! Thanks for stopping in.

sounds like a great plan! I hope you get to see Remy!

Nichole we've heard that before . You'll get back! You better or what will we do without a PTR and TR from you!

 

[ladybugmom]

Whoo hoo!! 17 days!! Can you believe it?!?!

 

[kaysmommie]

Thanks, me too. Thomas loves Remy. I almost wish I didn't show him the video because it changed my schedule.

Nichole we've heard that before . You'll get back! You better or what will we do without a PTR and TR from you!

I hope you are right. But the economy like this I doubt well go again until next summer of fall.

Whoo hoo!! 17 days!! Can you believe it?!?!

17 days until we are in Disney!!

Hey Nichole! So, you are arriving on Saturday, right? I keep forgetting if it's Friday or Saturday, but you mention arrival day with MK for Spectro as Day 1 - so I'm assuming that is Saturday.

I will most likely be meeting up with Michelle on Saturday at some point (I was thinking at the Poly for drinks that night), but we haven't figured it out yet. I will be at Epcot that day, so I could also go on over to Beach Club or Boardwalk for drinks.

I started my pre-trip the other day, but I haven't gotten around to posting my plans yet. If we end up doing the Poly lounge for drinks, would you be able to meet up after Spectro, or would that be too late with the kids (or would you want to send the kids home with Tommy and just come yourself....LOL)? Let me know and we will try to get it nailed down so hopefully we can meet up! I'm pretty flexible since it's only Shawn and I, but he doesn't have a hopper ticket, so I will be stuck with either Epcot or a resort, (or leaving Shawn and meeting up on my own....)

Your other plans sound great!
Day 4 - CS at the Studios - that's hard. I'm not a huge fan of any of their CS places, nothing bad to say, just nothing stellar either. I have heard some people talk of the "window" service offerings down Sunset...you could try that....The Anaheim Produce Company - for some fruit; Fairfax Fries -for some yummy french fries; Toluca Legs for hot dogs or turkey Legs, and then follow it up with a scoop of ice cream from Hollywood Scoops! 4 course meal right there! LOL!

Day 6 - looks like a doozie! AK, followed by Epcot, followed by possibly MK! 3 parks in one day? I don't know why I just noticed that - I hope you can see Spectro on Saturday so that you don't have as much running around to do on your last day.

I can't believe we are so close to our trips! Woo-hoo!

Sara

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Your plans sound great Nichole! I'm not sure about CS at DHS either - not sure if we've ever had CS there? We usually eat at Sci-Fi and then snack. Of course I've never been there when the park was open late. Are you seeing Fantasmic that night? You could always eat at the snack bar there to pass the time while you wait.

Hopefully we can meet up Saturday at some point! I'm pretty flexible. We are planning to just hang out at the resort, maybe go to DTD at some point and then go wherever we can meet Sara and hopefully you.

Looks like a great plan - I hope you get to see Remy!!!

Sara

Either way I will be able to meet up with you . Spectromagic is not a definite for Saturday anyway. Well figure it out soon and I'll PM you and Michelle my cell phone and email. For HS day we will have lunch at Sci Fi but probably leave after the Parade so CS won't be there luckily. Maybe DTD, or our resort. Our trips are so close .

Hi Michelle,
We won't be having CS at HS since we are having lunch at Sci Fi and then leaving after parade. I probably should I have said that. I don't like CS at HS either. The kids like Pizza Planet but it is disgusting. Maybe well go to our resort or DTD or something. Thanks though . Unfortunately there is not Fantasmic that night or your idea would work perfectly. So your not doing a park on Saturday? Not sure either way yet for us if we are going to MK. Yes well make plans to meet. Well probably go to DTD if we don't get to MK on Saturday.

Looks like a great plan - I hope you get to see Remy!!!

Hi Cathy,
I hope so too. How is the new Job?

Since we have the AP we can meet at a park if that is what we decide! Whatever is most convenient for you and Sara is great for us! I wish we were staying all week!

Goodness!! This Friday is May 1st! Your trip is, seriously, just around the corner!!

I'm hoping you'll keep Hoop-Dee-Doo... I just love that show!!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

You say a year or more but I would not be surprised to see you at Christmas! (or the end of free dining!) Clearing out the memory cards...the biggest pain ever! For me anyway. Your plans sound great! I have to go get my SUMMER closet in order....

A park may be hard because Sara is at Epcot for Illuminations and well be at MK for Spectro if we go to a park. Well figure it out though . too bad your not staying all week. When is Samantha's Birthday, right after Thomas' right?

Goodness!! This Friday is May 1st! Your trip is, seriously, just around the corner!!



I'm hoping you'll keep Hoop-Dee-Doo... I just love that show!!


Kathy

Just 17 more days . Not sure yet if we are keeping HDDR. I really wanted to go but then Chef's De France had to go and add Remy . ANd I shouldn't have shown Thomas because now he wants to see him. We can always go to Hoop next time but Remy is only until September. Unless we pay OOP for HDD but then well need another ADR since well have 1 credit left.

You know I would love to go at Christmas . But finances have to be in order first. Not sure how to clean the memory cards, think I'll leave it for Tommy. I have to finish doing our closest too. I'm in the middle of kaylee's right now.
