Countdown to the Clown! A September PTR - Updated 9/13 - TR LINK

[Connie96]

If we aren't Friends on Facebook, and you want to follow along, please PM me! I will be sending pictures and video along with regular live updates! I have a feeling Twitter will be left in the dust a bit because of this...but if you are just on Twitter and not on FB, please let me know - if there are a lot of people following me only on Twitter I'll be sure to keep that busy too, otherwise the plan is just to focus on FB.

Okay. That's a little funny that I sent you the "please friend me on facebook" PM like 10 minutes before you posted this.

I've been wanting to drop in and tell you that when we stayed at BWI back in 2004, would you believe that we never really "did" Epcot? I think we went to Epcot every day of our trip but, for some reason, we would just do 1 or 2 attractions and then walk back to the hotel again. It was weird. We did enjoy a lot of our meals at Epcot since WS was so close, but we spent nearly no time at all in FW that trip.

I hope yall have an amazing time. And I'm so excited to see how Henry enjoys WDW as a "big boy" this trip. (Having a 3yo of my own, I imagine Henry will have a lot of his own opinions this time. )

Woo hoo!!!! 7 days, baby!

I know! Woot!

I saw that - we were thinking the same thing at the same time! I already added ya as a friend, so we should be all set!

That is funny about Epcot and BWI! I can see that happening though - it's so close you are there all the time and figure you can do it anytime during the trip, then suddenly the trip is over! I wonder if we'll end up there more than I think we will...it's so close and such good food, we just might end up there a ton!

Oh yes, the opinions and "me do it!" are running strong lately. It's fun to have him as a 'big boy', and hold conversations with him, and I like that he has an opinion most of the time...but sometimes.... I am thinking he'll have some opinions over what we do at each of the parks - which should be fun!

7 days!! Woot! Woot!

So here's the dealio. You can hook up your Twitter to your Facebook so you update Twitter, your Facebook is automatically updated. Look into it.

 

[that's nice]

Why even post about leaving Disney? You are a week away from being there and when I read that you are leaving I get all sad!

I have WDW fever!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Woo hoo for one week!

I love those pictures of Boardwalk and I can't wait to hear how you like!!!!

I can't wait to follow along on FB! You must be so excited!

 

[TyRy]

Two weeks from today we'll be...

Packing up our stuff. Saying good-bye to this

and

OMG - this absolutely cracked me up..I start doing the same thing!!!

 

[Ashton]

You will be there before you know it!! It will be so exciting for you and Henry to have a do-as -you-like-day when you get there. Just a relaxing, fun day! Enjoy!!

 

[disneydusted]

Brook, you are soooo close!!! So exciting!! I've been having fun going thru all of our photos, I took 1296, DS took 214, DD took 183 and the photopass was 105! I think we have our vacation well documented!
I am looking forward to following along on fb! I tried to post from my droid and then the fb connection wouldn't work.
I'm so glad Henry got his second postcard!! He is just so cute looking at them!

 

[jenseib]

Go for the photoshoot...and then tell me all about it. LOL! I think we will do it next trip too. I have been browsing the pictures that I can find on Dis from them over the past 3 months, and I really like most of them. I even bought us matching outfits!

 

[ptcrn]

7 days!!!

Are you just freaking out yet? I would be! Love your suitcase pic- I throw everything in at once too!

Can't wait to hear about all of Henry's opinions on things! I forget- are you having a birthday party for him before you leave?

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for one week! Can't wait for the facebook updates.

 

[All7OfUs]

One week for you,.... one week for me!!

 

[nodnol]

I need to buy coffee. You may remember my big bag of coffee from a previous PTR update; however, we are almost out of our normal stuff, so that baby will get cracked into tomorrow morning. I want a full, new bag to bring to Disney. I can pick this up anytime - I run to the grocery store almost every single day.

I had to go back to your post, because I remembered a huge bag of coffe, but it turns out the picture was very zoomed in. But stil - you need 11 oz of coffe for 5 days? You are really very addicted

All your plans sound really great and I'm looking very much forward to your TR. I'm happy you were able to keep DVC

Happy One Week Until Disney!!!

 

[MeMom]

Yayayaya for our meet!! I'm so excited. We'll see about Splash Mountain, I've only ridden once and I was 13. It freaks me out but maybe if I go with you I will be brave and not cry.

Do it, LL!
We'll be out here cheering you on!
It will make our day to see a FB picture of you guys squealing away on Splash Mountain.

I'm SO excited about our meet! The HM makes me nervous - I'm such a wuss - I haven't done Snow White either. I only do ToT because I ilke the dropping! I would happily skip the rest. But EVERYONE says the HM is cheesy, campy fun - so I'm game. Plus, if I freak out at least I have someone to laugh about it with!

Haunted Mansion is too awesome to be scary! You'll be looking at all of the incredible Disney magic, and you won't be thinking 'scary' at all. It is not as high on my list as it is for most, but I still like it, and scary truthfully isn't even a part of it. You'll love the hitch-hiking ghost coming along with you at the end.

You guys just need to make a pact to ride those rides together and then share your fun with us in pictures.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I make no promises about Splash Mountain. I fell asleep last night thinking about how it wouldn't be that bad then had a whole night of plunging to my death dreams.

 

[loritemp]

I was bummed thinking you were only going to update FB and thought it might be too stalkerish if I ask to friend you but since you mentioned it... I will send you a PM!

My friend just got back from BWV. He said it was a perfect trip, hot during the day but wonderfully comfortable at night. His room was ready early, he described in vivid detail the yummies he got at the Boardwalk Bakery and all the fun night happenings!! So you are definitely in for some fun!!

Now get that suitcase organzied lady!!!

 

[moparop]

6 days Brook!!! I am so excited for you! This is your last weekend before Disney!

I really do love Haunted Mansion and it's not a scary haunt I swear! Leslie, SM is fun too! that sounds like so much fun!

7 days!! Woot! Woot!

So here's the dealio. You can hook up your Twitter to your Facebook so you update Twitter, your Facebook is automatically updated. Look into it.

Oooh - I have that already! I forgot!

So Twitter people will just get the text only updates - FB people will get it ALL.

Why even post about leaving Disney? You are a week away from being there and when I read that you are leaving I get all sad!

I have WDW fever!

Sorry Tim! It should still be a really fun day since we don't have ME until 4:00! Woot!

I hear ya on the WDW Fever. Me too. I'm already excited to plan our next trip.

Woo hoo for one week!

I love those pictures of Boardwalk and I can't wait to hear how you like!!!!

I can't wait to follow along on FB! You must be so excited!

I'm so excited about trying the BW! It never hugely appealed to me, but did to Joe. But the more I think about it - and the more I look into it, the more I think we are gonna LOVE it there.

OMG - this absolutely cracked me up..I start doing the same thing!!!

"Bye room. Bye hallway. Bye elevator..." "Bye creepy clown slide!"

You will be there before you know it!! It will be so exciting for you and Henry to have a do-as -you-like-day when you get there. Just a relaxing, fun day! Enjoy!!

I'm really looking forward to that first day. It will be fun to just do whatever with Henry! I'm certain we'll have a great time. I have a feeling the playground WILL be involved.

Brook, you are soooo close!!! So exciting!! I've been having fun going thru all of our photos, I took 1296, DS took 214, DD took 183 and the photopass was 105! I think we have our vacation well documented!
I am looking forward to following along on fb! I tried to post from my droid and then the fb connection wouldn't work.
I'm so glad Henry got his second postcard!! He is just so cute looking at them!

That is a ton of pictures!!! I love that though - we do the same, it's always over 2,000. It's so nice to have pictures of little things that remind of you a story or a moment. (and it helps with the TR too! )

I hope the connection for me works to FB! Eeek. Well, if not, we will have internet in the room, so I can just upload/update from the room - not completely live, but close.

He LOVES those postcards! It's so cute to watch him get so excited. He told a friend who is staying with us "Pooh sent me card!"

Go for the photoshoot...and then tell me all about it. LOL! I think we will do it next trip too. I have been browsing the pictures that I can find on Dis from them over the past 3 months, and I really like most of them. I even bought us matching outfits!

Will do! Joe and I discussed last night that yes, we are doing the photo shoot, so I just gotta call back and book it. Today.

I remember you saying you already got matching outfits! I haven't a clue what we will wear. I think I'll stick H in a white polo and shorts - either jean or khaki. That will look cute with the beach/sand pictures. Joe and I are another story...I'll figure out something!
