CINDERELLA!!!! The Vandy girls are BACK!!!**UPDATE 8-8-09! THE END-FINALLY! Page 83**

[dancin_princess]

it was a great time and i'm glad we did it! although i have an ENTIRE very large bottle of pinot grigio and 2 bottles of champagne and orange juice to take care of. i'm supposed to go back on my diet tomorrow......good luck to me!!!!

you so dont look like you need to diet! Your Spa day looks like tons of fun, makes me miss my friends in florida (even though i dont think most of my friends would do a spa day...hmmm )

the hand of mine you can't see in the picture is holding my phone. HOWEVER i'm still screaming my head off. erica is just sitting there looking at her phone like she's not about to DROP 13 STORIES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF GRAVITY!!!!!
thats hysterical...u wouldnt catch me being so calm,

oh that is more good news, i think that he would love to just sit there and see all of the things going on around him and would love it...so now youhave me leaning toward keeping him on it wiht us.

I'm sure parker could handle it, He'lll be like 8 months when u go right? He's tough. And besides im sure you'll pump him up "come on son, a 5month old went on"

[shane&jakesmom]

Just catching up great report, I enjoyed seeing the toy story mania pictures, when I was there in July, where could not get on they had no more fastpasses.

An unusually LARGE cell phone we all had

The cube I could never work

A Donald for Dan

And one of Jill & MeMom's fave we never got to try

Stay tuned for our final block of our happy extra day or our extra happy day, it was just extra that's all that matters!

I will be busy tomorrow but will try to get back as fast as I can!!

Up next:

On a side note.....

This is all so exciting in the football world

 

[VandyFan10]

I'm finally caught up. Great updates. It sounds like the two of you had an awesome Day 1 & were able to get alot accomplished. Can't wait for more.

Oh there's even plenty more of just Wednesday

Hey girls! Just finished catching up. I'm so glad you enjoyed Toy Story mania. I will be riding it several times two weeks from tomorrow for my birthday. john will have to oblige because it will be my actual birthday and I'm pregnant so I get to get my way right?!?!

HEY JILL!!

Yes you always get your way on your birthday and for SURE when you are pregnant!!!! Hey did you see where in '09 you can get in free on your b-day.

And did you also see the extra 'free dining' dates for the rest of the year? I'm not sure exactly when you are going but wouldn't want you to miss out!

thats hysterical...u wouldnt catch me being so calm,

HystERICAl

I just noticed my name is in that word Works out well for you since you were refering to me

Great trip report, can't wait for more.

Thanks

WOW! Excellent TR. Im so excited to read more. Im leaving to Disney soon and I cannot wait to get to MGM and ride Toy Story! THats the first thing I plan on doing when I get there. Cant wait to read more!

Thanks and could I hop in your suitcase??

 

[punkin413]

It was hot while there wasn't it. Love the comment about showing your feet.

I took me a while but I found you.

glad you found us, monica! yes, it was HOT. even on the days when there was ran, it was just STICKY out!

subscribing, boy do i have TONS of catching up to do

have fun catching up!

I am really enjoying your trip report. I lurked on your previous reports. Your pictures are great! Thanks for posting so many, especially from One Man's Dream. I've never been to that attraction. My family was last there in August 2005. We have to get back soon!

thanks for joining in! hope you get back soon so you can check out one man's dream!

Great TR so far, girls!

I just caught up from the beginning today.

I think I've caught all your TR now, Punkin.

VandyFan- Now that I'm caught up on this TR and can hopefully stay caught up, I'll check your Christmas TR.

Looks like you two are having tons of fun. Subscribed!

thanks so much for reading! you definitely should check out erica's christmas TR. it's one of the reasons we're going this december. her pictures made me want to go and see it all myself!

Enjoying the TR so far Dawn and Erica.

So what's all this about TSM with "the game" and "in between games" on the ride? I've never ridden it, but I thought it was just a TSM-themed version of Buzz Lightyear. Does it do something different?

it's a lot different than buzz. you go from game to game. and you have a gun where you pull a little string to shoot. with your 3-D glasses on it looks like you're really shooting something. it's really a lot of fun! when we got off my shoulder muscles were hurting because i was shooting so much!

I'm finally caught up. Great updates. It sounds like the two of you had an awesome Day 1 & were able to get alot accomplished. Can't wait for more.

thanks! we had loads of fun on that day! i'm so glad we got to do TSM. i know a few people who didn't get to ride it this summer because of the lines and lack of fastpasses.

Hey girls! Just finished catching up. I'm so glad you enjoyed Toy Story mania. I will be riding it several times two weeks from tomorrow for my birthday. john will have to oblige because it will be my actual birthday and I'm pregnant so I get to get my way right?!?!

hey, jill! so cool that you get to ride TSM on your birthday! and of course john will have to oblige.

you so dont look like you need to diet! Your Spa day looks like tons of fun, makes me miss my friends in florida (even though i dont think most of my friends would do a spa day...hmmm )

thats hysterical...u wouldnt catch me being so calm,

thanks about the dieting comment! i'm not an obsessive dieter or anything. i did lose about 30 pounds in 2007 and now i've put a few back on. i just want to lose 10 more pounds before christmas so i'll weigh 125, which is normal for me since i'm only 5'3". isn't that picture of erica on ToT hysterical?

Great trip report, can't wait for more.

thanks so much!

Just catching up great report, I enjoyed seeing the toy story mania pictures, when I was there in July, where could not get on they had no more fastpasses.

sorry you guys couldn't ride in july. the same thing happened to my sister in july. seems like it was a very popular ride this summer!

Ladies,

Billy Idol called.

He wants "more, more, more!!"

what's so funny about this is i was just playing rock band and singing "white wedding"......what a coincidence!

I'm with Billy!!

Hi Ladies.....so glad you put a link in your other trippie so I could find you! What a great trippie! I love all of your pics. Sounds like you had a great day (though hot) at HS. I feel so bad for the characters in costume in the parades too....can you imagine being in that Sully costume or the potato head????? I would pass out!!! I can't wait to hear more...sounds like a terrific trip!!!

thanks so much! those poor characters have to be miserable in that heat. i don't see how they do it! i wonder how much they pay them?

WOW! Excellent TR. Im so excited to read more. Im leaving to Disney soon and I cannot wait to get to MGM and ride Toy Story! THats the first thing I plan on doing when I get there. Cant wait to read more!

thanks! definitely head to TSM to at least get a fastpass first thing when you get to DHS. and if the wait is 30 minutes or less jump in line. it moves pretty fast and the queue is really cute. have fun!!!

 

[punkin413]

i don't really have anything to add to this latest installment since i pretty much have the same pics of pop that erica does from that day. and i'll let erica do the next installment because i filmed a good bit of that night and she took more pictures than i did. but i will be posting my video.

erica - i'll be sure to do the beginning of day 2 so you can have a break! oh, and how scary is it that we were both responding to posts at the same time? great minds think alike.

On a side note.....
GO DORES!!!!!!! 4-0 BABY!!!
This is all so exciting in the football world [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

woooooooo hooooooo!!!!! i'm so excited we're 4-0. it feels so good to say to ray that vandy's record is better than tennessee's.

 

[scottny]

ok ladies a little warning on the yellow, that is blinding. whoooooo


great update and pics.

I cannot wait to see POP. I want the tie-dye cheesecake.

I had that walkman. I loved it but not as much as my Iphone.

 

[MeMom]

Very nice pictures of our home. I'm glad to know people are enjoying it while we are not there.

The triplets at the pool in their little swim vests are cute. And you got the boy jumping in in mid-air - that's cool.

No tie-dyed cheesecake? That's not good. Truthfully, it is not the best cheesecake in the world - I have had better - but it's more the fact that it's the only place I know of that you can get tie-dyed cheesecake, and it's a classic for us, so we have to have at least one piece between us every trip. I don't think we would be able to leave Pop not having had a piece, now, because it is just a tradition.

Can't wait to see what's coming up next!

P.S. You should hear Brooklynn singing

"Halloween loween everybody!"

from the MNSSHP CD Jill has been playing in the car. Maybe Jill can get her to sing it and put it on the TR as a video. It's pretty cute, and I'm willing to bet she is one of the few two year olds in the country who can sing that song.

 

[DisneyLaura]

I remember those "big" cell phones. My DH's first one literally came in a suitcase. Ahh the 80's and 90's. That resort looks really cool. Great pictures.

 

[Charleston Princess]

The 80's and 90's -- so my time period -- what a trip down memory lane!

No problem. im not an obessive dieter either but i guess i should be cause im 5'1 (maybe almost 5'2)and probably about 30lbs overweight My BF however likes my "thickness". I look more "athletic" than "round" but wish i was a lot slimmer.

aww brooklynn's so cute, i would love to hear her sing

i've just never had a desire to try to the tie-dyed cheesecake. it looks cool but i'm not a big sweets person so i guess i've never made an effort. i'm sure i'll have it one day!

so cute about brooklynn singing halloween.....loween!!!!! i bought a CD at the halloween party called "magic kingdom event music" and it has that song on it. so i can sing along with brooklynn!!! i'd love to see a video of her singing it.

by the way, what is she going to be for halloween? luke wants to be a purple ninja. i told anna good luck finding a purple ninja costume!

I remember those "big" cell phones. My DH's first one literally came in a suitcase. Ahh the 80's and 90's. That resort looks really cool. Great pictures.

my dad had one! those things were soooooooo cool!

The 80's and 90's -- so my time period -- what a trip down memory lane!

exactly! i was born in '76 so my childhood was the '80's and my teenage years was the '90's. so we were in an appropriate section!

No problem. im not an obessive dieter either but i guess i should be cause im 5'1 (maybe almost 5'2)and probably about 30lbs overweight My BF however likes my "thickness". I look more "athletic" than "round" but wish i was a lot slimmer.

when i say "obsessive dieter" i'm referring to those girls who weigh like 100 pounds and call themselves fat. that is just so annoying!!! and you totally shouldn't be an obsessive dieter if you only need to lose 30 pounds. about half of america needs to lose more than that! i'm "thick" too. i carry my weight in my butt and legs and no matter how much i lose i'll always be bigger on the bottom half of my body than the top - i've come to accept that i'm a pear!!! my mom is too so i get it honestly. because i played soccer and took gymnastics and dance until i was like 16 i've always had bigger legs and now that i'm older and less active that's not such an advantage! i try to work out regularly though. ray (my hubby) likes my shape too so i can't really complain about it.

ur right about that. for me i guess its not really about being an obessive dieter i just need to watch what and how much i eat, sometimes i get a little carried away with the tasty food. i took gymnastics and dance too Somedays im proud to be "thick"

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Wild Vandy Girls!!!!!!!!

Great update!!! I can't wait to hear more!!

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Love the pictures from POP! We will be there in 3 1/2 weeks and I cannot wait! Looking forward to reading about your night!
