Could this be our last trip to the World for awhile...Final Plans 9/11

[KatMark]

That's great to know!

The part about him making the best of the situation, that is.


I'm loving it as I get peace and quiet around here.

Sorry that nothing happened there.

As sated above, it is still on the table. Hope to hear soon.

So are you still planning to stay in the Chicago area and save the Florida plans for a few years down the road?

The plan is for me to retire from my job July 7, 2016. That would be the completion of my 41st year at my job.

Even better than Starbucks???????

Yes, even better than Starbucks.

I certainly hope so. It wouldn't quite be a KatMark TR without it!

That will make Mark happy.

Maybe you should have done Boardwalk before AKL. Are you going to be able to pry yourself away from the giraffes in the middle of your stay?

I probably should have...and not sure why I didn't.

You know you're going to have to post it now that you've mentioned it.

I guess I will.

My First DIS post!

And somehow, since then you've gotten to 12K posts. Which is pretty impressive for someone who disappears for months at a time.

Brutal, Andy.

That wouldn't work!

You'd eat it and I'd never find my way back.





Oh...


I see what you're doing there.

Glad you caught on.

Hi Kathy! Subbing in here although I haven't read anything yet. I just wanted to make sure I didn't forget about this one as I'm working my way through your TR. I'll be back to catch up soon I hope.

Good to see you back, Ariana.

Aaaaaaand that is the reason she mentioned it.

Who me? The problem is I can't find it...I have to go search for it now.

I don't post that much in the summer…. and never in May & June. I guess I post like a fiend in the spring, fall, and winter.

You are a busy man in the summer.

I don't see the problem with that.

Do I have to separate you two?

Humm… really? We were thinking of trying to get BCV for next summer. Figured the kids would love the pool.

You rent a car usually so you should be okay. The problem with the pool is it is SOOOOOOOOOOO big and you have three kids that would be in different areas and it's hard to keep track of them.

 

[KatMark]

Thanks! I'll be here all week!

Every time I think I can go to my TR and do an update, I find something else posted here.

Yup… Big girl. Hopefully she is going to be better than Christopher was when we went at 18 months.

You got Grandma and Aunt Kathy to help.

When are you planning to see it?

I haven't figured that out. Probably Saturday night during EMH's?

DHS has EMH Sunday night…. I think Melody & I are going to head over there for a few hours.

I think we are at Epcot on Sunday night?

Well…. who knew?

Who knew I would become one? I'd go back to CSR though if the price were right.

Juliana's surprise? Oh, you shouldn't have.

You knew about this...THE doll. I figured I'd send it to you rather than bring it with me...you'll have enough stuff to take on the plane with you.

HUH???

Only teasing you my friend.

I'm thinking we should ride RnRC first then head to TSM…. not sure what you were thinking.

We can do it whatever way you want. I don't go on it so I don't care.

 

[that's nice]

Oh. I thought you were gonna give it to her in WDW.

What do I know anyway?

 

[KatMark]

You are a guy. Does that answer your question?

No, they'll have their goodie bags at DW.

 

[that's nice]

You are a guy. Does that answer your question?

ummm…… yes?

No, they'll have their goodie bags at DW.

Naturally.


Oh, and as far as your 1900PF breakfast goes…. the last time we were there (forever ago) we shot this video…

[KatMark]

Naturally.

Come on...you couldn't be surprised.

That was hysterical.

Subbing, but not sure when I will have a chance to catch up! Back to your main report.

Glad to have you Dee...get back whenever you can...no rush. Can't wait to hear all about your adventures.

 

[KatMark]

This is going to be a FULL day and the one I am most looking forward to.

We will be at the Magic Kingdom by 7:45 a.m. because we have an 8:00 a.m. breakfast ADR with some very special friends:





No, not those friends (although they are special too), but these friends:



And my plate will be filled with this:



We hope to all stop and get some Memory Maker pictures with an empty Main Street before breakfast.

After breakfast, Tim and I were able to get FP+ for basically the same times (10 - 15 minutes difference...but within the time frame that we can go into together for:

(those cute girls won't be with us and now Anna and Elsa are separate meet and greets)



and for



I don't know how long Tim and family are planning on staying...it might be the whole day since they only have a short time there with the cruise. Mark and I will probably go back to the resort to rest and swim for a bit and then, depending on Tim and when he makes his decision, we might be joining him, Mel and Juliana for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. If not, we will probably head to DTD to eat at Wolfgang's and do some shopping.

 

[Clarf]

I just found this! Didn't realize you were in the FB group! Now I have to catch up on this one.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I got all the way to the end of your update and had to re-read the last few sentences. At first, I swore that I read it like you may be joining them on their cruise. I can totally tell that I've been doing entirely too much reading today.

 

[MEK]

I got behind this weekend and I still think I'm behind on Day 3, but Day 4 looks like a winner. CP is my favorite and so is the stuffed french toast! YUM!

And yeah to DIS meet FP's! That's awesome!

 

[Woth2982]

Your day 4 plans sound like fun! Hopefully you get a great Photopass photographer so you can get some great group photos! Breakfast at CP sounds great. It is another place I have never been in Disney. I hope you all get to MNSSHP! It is my favorite party and I need to live vicariously lol!

 

[IheartDDuck]

Mmmmm, Crystal Palace for breakfast. Always a great way to start the day.

Okay, I totally just ate dinner, and I'm seeing the picture of your Crystal Palace plate, and I want those potatoes.......

 

[jedimeg16]

It has been a long long time since I've eaten at Crystal Palace, but the friend I'm planning a girls trip with loves Winnie the Pooh so I will be there again in the future.

And that's awesome that you and Tim could get all of the FP+ to line up!

 

[annmarieda]

YUM! CP!!! I really enjoy that breakfast especially prior to park opening. Sadly I am the only one in my family who likes it there. So I don't get to go often.

 

[ddstratton]

Sounds like a good day planned. I love Crystal Palace for breakfast...

 

[MonsterWDWmom]

Crystal Palace is the perfect way to start a day at the Magic Kingdom

 

[pas130]

What an excellent morning!!!!!

 

[schmass]

Nothing beats an early morning CP reservation!
