Chicago area Diser's - check in here Part 3

[Princess Mindy]

We couldn't do ME because we're starting at the Swan. It would have been nice to save the $ but it'll be a nice surprise!

 

[Princess Mindy]

well the hour by hour thing came from using sample plans from Tour Guide Mike, then adding things I wanted to do, and put these things together and I have quite a full schedule! But I stil allowed for afternoon breaks this year. I don't want to be exhausted from my vacation-just the planning of it!

 

[Bunchkin]

I was considering using Tour Guide Mike.

We will be taking breaks too, if possible!!


I'm out of here!! Very tired!!!

 

[Princess Mindy]

Goodnight Bunchkin! sweet dreams!

 

[Bunchkin]

Goodnight Bunchkin! sweet dreams!

You too!! Dream of Mickey bars, funnel cakes, Dole whips......

Again......Have an awesome trip with your mom!!! I hope both of you enjoy yourselves!!!

 

[paintnolish]

Bunchkin-They do have some early buses, esp w/little one's emh. Also, when we got on the bus at csr so early, we were the only ones, so the driver took us right to Poly!

 

[Sk8Leigh]

Well Kiddieland is out for me. Sam is doing better today. Her temp was down to 99 when I talked to Cherisse this morning, but since she's been sick they can't come. But I'm just glad she's ok! I guess it was some sort of virus, what my boss's nephew had.

So I'll do my dress shopping instead. After I get my blood test and eat my big souffle from Panera.

Oh, for lunch I just got a baked potato (with sour cream, cheese, and bacon ) at the Great Steak and Potato Company. And then we ended up getting of work earlier than expected, though still not early. But I got home around 6:30pm, which wasn't too bad, and we didn't get food there. But I went to Pepe's and got Chili Con Queso, and stuffed myself! And now I'm fasting.

Mindy - Have fun at WDW! And have a Great Birthday!

Rosemarie - Happy Birthday to you, too!

Michelle - Happy Anniversary!

And to everyone going to KL, have fun!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Hey all. Posting a quick hi and going back to read. Busy here as usual.

 

[disneymama73]

KL is out for me, too, I think. Madeline has a tummy bug. She told the doctor, "my butt hurts!" It was so hard not to laugh. Poor thing!

 

[Tiggerrn2]

Mindy and Rosemarie. Hope the day is great.
Happy anniversary DMM. Hope you have a great day at KL. And may your DH suprise you with something really special.
Bunchkin, it is just so sad what kids will do today. Had a young new mom tonight and she wanted to have her nephew come up to visit, so she lied to try and say he was hers. Although we already knew how old her other child was and this couldn't possibly be hers. We are very strict on our visitation on our floor, especially young kids. Can't visit unless they are the newborns sibling. She looked me in the eye saying it was her stepchild. Then slipped and said nephew. Then still tried to get him in. Then had the audacity (sp?) to get irritated with me for not allowing him to come on the floor. Unbelievable. Sure hope Lauren doesn't get too hurt to believe in her friends. Glad that mother made her daughter face up to what she'd done.
Mindy Have A GREAT trip. We'll be waiting for a full report.
Anyone going to the early Halloween parties care to bring me back a map to study up on early? PM me and I'll send you my address. I'm obsessed with the MNSSHP. I'll admit it. DH says he's sending me to DAA. (Disney addicts annonymous)

 

[KimRaye]

Hala Kahiki. I am sure I misspelled it, but it is a bar kind of place with a Hawaiian theme. They have a huge drink menu, with all kinds of froo froo girly drinks. It is a really fun place. Anyone been there?

Chicago area DISers!

It's been incredibly hard to keep up here!

I have read, somewhat, to keep up but, I have no time to post these days. I'm hoping I can post more and catch up more when I'm at work, starting Tues!

We went straight to my parents after school today, for Mom's BD (which was yesterday). It was nice, fun....considering the recent events.

Marty (my husband) called me twice tho, while we were there. I ignored the 1st call - we were eating and, Kelly had already called him to wish him a Happy BD (BD today) so, I couldn't imagine why he was calling ME. Anyway, I answered the 2nd call and, he told me his younger brother died. I guess a hiking accident (in CA). No one knows the details for sure yet. He was hiking alone and, due back on Sun. When he didn't come back, his son reported him missing on Tues (48 hrs) and, they found his body today. Marty asked me to either drop by his Dad's or, call him, to see how he's doing. He said he sounded fine but, they can't really tell since they're in Montana visiting their Sister (who has MS) and, Dad is here, near me. I'm thinking that Kelly & I will drop over tomorrow but, it'll be awkward for me, to say the least. I haven't seen or talked to him in well over a year. I do Love him and care him about tho. Losing a child, even a 50yo child, has to be hard.

Sorry I haven't replied 'individually'.

Who IS going to KL Sat?? Anybody?? Russell's???

TIA and, sorry to be so non-existent lately.


everyone!

[Bunchkin]

Good sunny morning all!!!

Lots to do today!!!

We got our papers from WDW yesterday!!! We feel so official now!!
Anyone else get theirs yet??

Right now I'm struggeling with Hunter for him to clean up his Palymobile Priate sets from his bedroom floor!!! Uggg!! We just gave them back to him after taking them away for the same reason, lack of cleaning!!!
I just had a little talk with him and set hime straight!!

Bunchkin-They do have some early buses, esp w/little one's emh. Also, when we got on the bus at csr so early, we were the only ones, so the driver took us right to Poly!

I had heard or read that the buses come early to the resorts, but then I called to confirm this and I was told no they don't only on an early EMH day for a park. So I don't know what to think. Last time we were at WDW we had an early ADR for breakfast and the front desk suggested taking a cab so that's what we did.



slo How did Katie's picture go yesterday?? And didn't you say you were getting Stephanie's done as well??


Michele Sorry to hear your DD is sick!! Lots of PD for her!!


Mindy Happy birthday to you!!! arty:
I've celebrated a b-day at WDW too!!! And it was the best!!!


Michelle Happy 2nd anniversary!!!!


Kim I'm sorry to hear about your BIL passing. I hope your visit with Marty's dad goes well. Hugs to you and your family for all the trying times lately.


Tiggerrn I've been at the hospital sooo much latey that I'm familiar with all the visitation rules!!! It was Sunday only for me while I was in. Although they were nice one day and let the kids come up for a visit during the week to drop off some things to me. Albeit a short visit!




I'm having DH bring the suitcases up from the basement today. I'm going to keep them in my walk-in closet in my bedroom.
However I think they are going to need a little vacuuming, he never stored them properly after our last trip which was last spring. Properly stored as in MY way, which is in a large garbage bag and sealed to keep them clean.
Why can't men listen??????



Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[slo]

Good Saturday morning everyone!!!

Thanks for all the good luck with Katie's pictures - it worked!!!! They turned out great!!! Now today is Stephanie's pictures and I'll be done with pictures until Halloween

Thank goodness she wears uniforms, because the amount of time she spends on her hair would leave her no time to pick something out to wear

That is funny!!!!
Stephanie takes forever to pick out what she's going to wear to school. She wants to "be cool!!! "

Happy 40th birthday to me!!!

ROSEMARIE!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful 40th birthday today!!!!

Did you curl Katie's hair again???

Yes I did and it looked even better this time. I bought a really skinny barrel curling iron and it worked wonderfully

Ths time tomorrow I will be leaving for the airport!!!!

Have a wonderful, safe trip!!!
I hope your trip is filled with good fun, good food, and good memories!!!

The Mom was in the garage cleaning and putzing around, the kids were up and down in front of the house playing and she looks up just in time to see her youngest son heading toward the open door of that car! She just started screaming, not really any type of words just NOOOOOO and *$#@!!($##! The car has Ohio plates!!

Holy crap - that is so scary!!!!
Thank God she looked up in time!!!

Those of us still here will hold down the fort.

Thanks!!!!

Everyone keep blowing the winds to keep any and ALL hurricanes OUT TO SEA!!

I second that!!!

Can you believe that a 3rd grader could be so mean and just tell such a huge lie??? She made my DD hurl for crying out loud!!!!

Kids can be so mean!!!!!
I'm sorry that poor Lauren had to go through this.
Give her a hug from me!!!!

I answered the 2nd call and, he told me his younger brother died

I am so so sorry to hear this!!!!
Many many hugs to you!!
If you need to talk, you know we are always here for you!!!



To all other Chicago friends - Hi there!!



Well, I've gotta run and start getting Steph ready for her pictures.
Have a good day today!!!!

Thanks, Donna!!

I know, very sad!!!
