CSR Bday Trip: Update p. 2 CSR Review p.3

[acellison]

I think he contacted Disney and they did it while we were at dinner that evening. He went WAY WAY overboard with all the boxes! One box and balloons would have been plenty! I think he was trying to compete with the massive surprise 30th bday party I had for him in April (before I found out I was getting laid off). Anyway, we shipped the boxes home and haven't received them yet but I can tell you what was inside each one:

Mickey Box- Inside the box were Bday ears with my name on them and with the box came a large mickey plush, a signed photo autograph book, balloons, bday necklace that lights up (everyone asked about this!!), and a photo frame.

Minnie Box- Candy cake made all from chocolate...yum!!!

Goofy- goofy taffy and the resort phone w/a phone number for me to call...which was goofy singing happy birthday

Donald- towel, a cool bag, donald duck beak toy, lanyard w/pins

pluto- dog bowl and rice crispy treats shaped like bones

When the boxes arrive, I will take more pictures of them and the contents inside so that you have a better idea of what was in them

you can call disney and ask about special things they do for birthdays. I think that no matter which character you choose, you'll still get the photo frame, autograph book, balloons, and birthday necklace that lights up. Check out the disney world website...I know he said he did his homework for this online.

The whole time he was doing this research, I thought he was doing his final assignment for school!!! He HAD a 4.0 in his Master's Degree...after spending so much time on planning surprises for my birthday and neglecting his final assignment in his class, he got a B in the class . I kind of felt bad about that

Thanks so much for the information I will definitely look at the website to order a Minnie gift for her. Tell you r husband I feel his pain. I only made one "B" when I got my Master's degree. Oh well, 3.98 isn't too shabby either

Wow! I had the same reaction to CSR as you! I never thought twice about staying there. It never appealed to me but I had the opportunity to upgrade in March from the POP and the only Mod avail was CSR. I took the plunge and was so happy!
My family loved it! The queen size beds are amazing for a mod and the grounds are beautiful! I didn't feel it was too big- certainly not any bigger than CBR. We loved the pool and we loved the PM too! We used the QSDP and it was such a bargain at the PM!

I'm even considering changing from the WL in November and going back to CSR!

Glad you had a great vacation. Can't wait to find out about the bus-driver!
