Childfree (by choice) Disney Lovers!

Hi
Thanks for the support!
what are your trip dates? We are there from the 16th-24th....

Oct 16th - 24th. spooky

-and I'm kind of liking the mind set of pacrosby - My mom was 40 when I was born. I think older parents are not only cool, but normal.

What are folks up to this weekend? We have a free Blues festival in town tonight. Should be fun, the Couples w/out Kids group is doing it as a meetup.

I'm working now, but later it will be football. And then tomorrow it will be football. I'm kind of a football widow (I'm not complaining though; I enjoy the game well enough & I can participate without actually paying close attention, meaning I can surf the web, sew {as the name suggests} or -if DH is too intense and freaking out the dog, take the dog for a walk.)

DH found this the other day.... think I need yet some more stickers for my car.

I've always wanted one w/the two of us 3 cats & a dog, but now I'm thinking this is better!

That is hilarious! However, I don't think it would have quite the same impact with two women stick figures standing next to the money bags.

You leave the day before we arrive in Florida!

So I see you're DVC members....I'm guessing you own at BLT????

Now, however did you figure that one out??
Seriously, when I first joined the dis, I had a way too obvious screen name...So I changed it. But now I have our picture up...so, I changed the name because???

I have been gone for awhile but I have to tell you that we love this! I need this on my car!

Awwww man......I am so feeling not part of the group anymore!!!!! We are "childfree" but that is because our kids are all grown up, not because we chose to not have any. We are like the folks on the Disney commercials from years ago who finally get to go back to WDW and do all the things WE want to do without our kids! Its an amazing, totally different experience and honestly, it makes us appreciate so much having our kids when we were younger.

We're headed back down on 11/26-12/2 with a split stay at AKL and WL. Anyone else going during that time? We'd love to extend the trip but the rooms are not discounted at all right now. We're using some DVC points from a friend and due to some miscommunications and "family" drama, we weren't really able to maximize the points at all so if you all know anyone looking to sell some points please let me know!

HAHA That picture made me bust out loud when I first saw it too - I love xkcd.com

I've been reading this thread for a while but don't think I posted before. After 12 years together and absolutely no wavering on the "no kids" outlook my immediate family has finally accepted our choice. I just know our temperaments don't lend to having children and other than the momentary "someone had a baby and we're visiting - let me hold him/her - you're a natural" occasions we don't have a drive to have any.

I simply deflect everyone else with a "when the economy is better and we're stable" - no one seems to argue much against that and it moves the subject along.

We frequently travel for anime conventions (I sell hand made buttons) and it's always enough fuss finding someone to care for the cat - who is pretty self sufficient to begin with (just really social for a cat).

We've been to WDW twice now together (3 times myself) and are happily planning the next one. If anyone is interested in my last TR it's on my blog: http://www.disjointedimages.com/frzn_blog/

I just wanted to say love your blog!

Thanks!!

I got the photopass stuff edited (and videos) after the main stuff so I'm actually going back through and making tweaks and filtering them in.

We're doing 2 weeks at CSR our next trip (we are just SMITTEN after the 1 week there this trip) so expect even more epic pictures and videos since we'll have that much more EMH and whatnot. It's 2 years away but I'm such an addict I'm already geeked.

You can see we did all the "children's" rides as well as the adult stuff so don't let anyone tell you it's weird or awkward getting in line for Peter Pan or Tea Cups by yourself.

I pretty much love everything at WDW. Looking forward to the new Fantasyland.

Yeah I hear ya. I am totally addicted. We live 40min away so try and go at least once a month. I am thinking about going tomorrow or Friday to Animal Kingdom solo. I love my solo trips. Get to go at my pace and eat or not eat whatever I want lol. I too can't wait for the new Fantasy Land. Should be pretty amazing!

I ride teacups solo all the time. DH can't ride them (makes him feel ill )
No point in my skipping it since I like them so much, so he waits & I ride.
(I do the same for him on RnR & ToT.)

Oh Man... I always miss the fun stuff!!

How's everyones' weekends? I took yesterday off from work & did a day-spa (my b-day gift to myself). What a treat!!! After they got done & I got my best dress on last night I looked (and felt) like a princess!!
DH took me out for a great supper at a nicer restaurant. Not a bad way to celebrate.

We celebrated with Beer and Bacon festival in baltimore... Great time was had by all...

Glad you enjoyed your Birthday gift to yourself....Those are always the best.

My 42nd Birthday.
It was a lot of fun. I like to do that each year. Not only is it fun, but I do think some things (like the facial) are really good for my skin, esp. considering some of those prior 42 years .
Wrapping it in w/the fun stuff (hair, makeup, etc) makes it seem less like something I have to do.


Happy "Talk Like a Pirate Day" to everyone!

Mmmmmm beer & bacon. Two great tastes that go great together!!
