December MaGiC or was it?!? TR starts Pg. 39

[roxannensteve]

Looks like my PTR is dying - sllooowwwllyyy. Oh well, it'll pick up again when the madness is done here at home.

But I really wanted to say - my trip is paid

I went ahead & added the trip insurance - it was $60 per adult.

I also got a cool offer that I am trying to fit into my plans - getting to go to SeaWorld with free admission. Isn't that cool??

I think I pretty much have everything bought except for the food for Taylor's party.

Everyone's Halloween costumes are bought.

Things are coming into place - finally.

Yesterday DS2 had to go to Children's hospital to check on something abnormal on his feet - which turned out just to be fat. My point is we went to a mall over there that has a Disney store - our mall doesn't. There was a section for 40% off & I spent $95!! This is what I got - no pictures since none is for our trip: a POC fleece pant & hoodie for myself, 2 short sleeve POC shirts for DS1 along with a long sleeve & a pair of slip on shoes, all POC - I am giving him that for his bday. Also a Mickey shirt, a Buzz short sleeve, long pants PJ & a Cars one too. DS2 got 2 pj's & a pj for a Christmas gift fr a nephew. I think I got a good deal. I was not planning on spending that much but I cannot pass up deals like that - not on Disney stuff. Everything was needed except for my outfit but I just liked it.

Gotta get going but like I said before, hopefully after the madness, I'll be back full time again.

Awesome stuff you picked up at the Disney Store!!
We miss you around here, glad to hear everything is coming together for ya.

We won't let your PTR die - even if we have to hijack it!

Congrats on paying off your trip and the great finds at the Disney store!

Seaworld would be great if you can fit it in - especially for free! We went a few years ago and I was very reluctant but ended up enjoying it very much. It is definately worth going in my opinion.

Don't know if you have been to Sea World before, so just a tip if you haven't- Bring a clothes pin for your nose if you want to see the penguins they are SUPER Stinky!!!! Other than that it is a nice place, the shark and stingray petting tank is cool. And I love the manatees- I love that they rescue them from the wild after they get injured from all the boats and set them free when they can. Even the two rides they had when I was there are fun. The Atlantis water one (think splash mountain) & Krakken the roller coaster. Like they said we won't let your PTR Die!!!!

Aww, I miss you guys too. More than you know, no one else around here wants to talk Disney. Well DH does but no one else really.

We hopefully will go if the freebie thing goes well.

We went before but in 1996 so ALOT has changed. I don't even remember rides. We deffinitely will try to squeeze it in. I wanted to se how much a taxi would cost but I found out about the public transportation & it sounds decent.

It's not dying! We're still here.

Glad things are coming together for you. I'm going to have to restrain myself from running to the Disney Store tomorrow now. I LOVE POC. I mean I wear it every day. Both my purse and my watch are POC.

You've got a lot going on. We understand. But we'll still be here!

I really like Sea World and my DS1 (5 1/2) LOVES it. They also have a bunch of new rides in the kiddie area that are really pretty fun. Definitely go if you can. We don't go to Orlando without going to Sea World for at least a day, and you know how huge a Disney fan I am!

 

[disneyaddicted]

AAAh! there is nothing like the feeling of a trip that is completely paid for. Then all that is left is putting aside some spending money. Do you feel a sense of security now that you purchased the trip insurance? It really isn't a bad deal and the peace of mind it brings is great.

I am hoping we get a chance to meet up while we are there. I think that would be awesome!

Go check out those deals, girl.

I really will need to see if the free thing falls through or not & figure out how much time I can allow for it to see what we can/cannot do while there.

I actually feel really good about the getting trip insurance. I covers alot. Did I ever mention that 2 trips ago I ended up in Celebration hospital with food poisoning? It covers stuff like that from what I understand.

We probably will end up seeing each other some place.

Good to "see" you! We paid for our trip today! Well, put it on Disney Visa so we can get the points! Then, we'll pay it off! I feel good about having the insurance too.

 

[hhockman]

I do not have the $$$ to put myself in a store full of cheap POC stuff. Will loves POC too (he was Captain Jack last year), so it's a bad idea. Glad you got some good deals though!

 

[Poohtigeey]

WOW!!! We're all three on here at the same time, it's a miracle!!!!

Just to let you know, I inquired about something - I paid most of my balance with points but put the remainder on my Visa, which you have 6 months interest free with but you get the points on the closing of that statement - EVEN if its not paid at that time. I thought that was pretty neato.

Awww....

I'm getting back slowly.

Thanks for the Visa info! More $$ to spend on our new pin obsession!

Also, giving you a bump! I see you on the boards, but not on your own report!

I'll be so weird when all of our trips are over, and we're all on the trip report board! I don't want to think about what's gonna happen after that!

Last night I was on yours looking to see how to do those shirts. I did a search but I don't know whats going on here but when you search anything nothing comes up. I knew you had all about it on your PTR but I had to find the right page. I cannot find any Halloween shirts for the boys so I wanted to try to make a little something. Whats gonna happen after???

We can start planning our next trips!

Exactly!! We really are considering going for a few days in October - which will be my first time then so I'll need lots of help & opinions. And then it'll be on to my December trip.

October is my 2nd fav time (after Dec of course) We are going again in April and prob October again.
We will have a lot to talk about if you go in Oct.

 

[Poohtigeey]

We loved it in Oct, and the party is so much fun!! I've heard people like the Halloween party better than the Christmas party so I'm interested to see what we think!

What kind of Halloween shirts are you looking for? They've got cool designs for iron ons on the design board! I want to see pictures of your spiral shirts, and if you have any questions let me know! I'd like to do more! I still have to fix Megan's or make her a new one. I haven't decided!

I just wanted a basic Halloween shirt for both of them to match. I actually started a bit on them this morning but they aren't spirals. I used the mixture to draw a pumpkin, write their name & year. They are dried now but it our local fair this weekend. We are attending tonight so the painting will have to wait till tomorrow. Sometimes I get crazy ideas so they may not even look too good but...gotta try.

 

[Poohtigeey]

BUMP!!!! Miss ya! I hope everythings good w/ you. Hopefully life calms down for you a bit before the trip! I can't believe we're going to miss you by one day!

 

[hhockman]

Just popping (LOVE that guy) in to say hi. So I can say I've been here. How did the shirts turn out?
