DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[Renysmom]

Hi all!
We are in Hagersville MD for the night.
Had a wonderful dinner with AnneR and her girls. (Thanks again Anne!)
Kat spent about 10 minutes writing a post about our day and then had WiFi problems and lost it all when she tried to submit it.
Needless to say she was not happy.
She went to bed right after.
9 1/2 hours on the road today with numerous (6 or 7) bathroom breaks.
Note to self.....No water bottles within reach of the kids tomorrow.
Off to bed, see you all soon.

Oh, the one thing I do remember from her post was...

The DAP Pilgrimage has begun!!!

Glad you are having such a great beginning to the trip. Looks like clear driving skies for you today. Please be safe, there will be lots of traffic out there as folks are returning from their holiday weekend.

Safe travels, John!

Thanks Kathy!
We received your message from Anne.

 

[3guysandagal]

Hi John! I'm glad you guys had a great first day. Is there a place on the iphone like a notepad where she can pre-type it out and then copy and past it? Safe travels the next couple of days.

Hi Anna!
She was on the laptop, not the iphone, and it was working fine until she went to post.
Never thought to Control-C before posting, but I did just in case with my post last night after her incident but did not need it.

So far traffic has been non existant, but today may be a different story.
Next stop, after breakfast with AnneR, DisneyBridein3k, and her DAP roomie Kelly (sorry, don't know your board name), is Mount Vernon VA.

Hey Alamo renters...Jen and I just switched around our reservation. We are still picking up upon arrival (Dec 10th) at the airport and dropping off at the Dolphin on the 13th...the price that we had on our original reservation totaled $85, but after signing up for the Quick Silver program and clicking on the Insider Deals link at the top of Alamo's page, I saved $25! We now have a compact sized car reserved for an approximate total of $65...

Must check into this today...

I will keep Keith's Aunt in my prayers and sending pixie dust.

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers, they are desperately needed right now.

What an awesome road trip!

We are off to yet another hockey outing, but this time is his first real game. We actually get to travel today, too, up to St. Paul, about an hour away.

Have a great day everyone!

Morning!!

John and Katerine - if you come down on 95 wave as you come through Daytona!! You'll be in my neck of the woods!!

 

[disneydreamgirl]

Doing many loads of laundry today and then the packing begins! So excited...

DH is still in the throes of sunroom work but we now have a date for carpet installation - December 14!!! I will arrive after it is all over and done with after the DAP trip home that night. So relieved that we have a date with 10 days left to Christmas. I host DH and my families for Christmas dinner, so we needed this time frame.

Heading over to my folks for Grey Cup (Canadian Football League championships) and B-day celebration for my dad, sister and nephew. Should be fun and hoping for a good game...Rough Riders vs. Allouettes.

Hope everyone has a great day today...gotta get to work or this list of mine is going to get unmanageable!

Morning everyone. I am spending the weekend at a dog show. Last night I spent 2 hours in the front yard wearing a headlamp while I tried to get the display finished. I should be able to turn the lights on tonight. I also got the tree up. Once the display is running we'll start inside decorating. My hope is to have all decorating done by Friday. Then I can deploy project "X"-mas on Saturday as the grand finale.

Morning DAPers! It's almost time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am beyond excited to see everyone!

Hugs & PD to all of those needing it right now. I hope things turn out well with your loved ones.

Nicole - Walmart had a huge laptop deal on Black Friday. I'm assuming they'll do it again.

My parents are getting ready to leave for WDW tomorrow morning. They'll be there until Saturday and I'm super jealous. They have the Christmas party lined up for Tuesday night, too. Tara says I can't complain, but I think I can whine a little at least.

What's on everyone's agenda for the day?

Good Morning DAP Pals. It has been a great Thanksgiving weekend. We have finished decorating for Christmas. Both trees up and decorated. The house all decked out.

Thanksgiving dinner was good. My 91 yo uncle decided it was too much for him and decided to stay home. My brother went to see him on Friday and got a lot of stories out of him. He is our late dad's last surviving brother. He was in WWII in a landing craft that went all the way from NJ to Iawo Jima. Not exactly the Disney Wonder. I think my Uncle is more comfortable talking the "Man Stuff" with my brother instead of my sister and me.

My oldest niece came home on Tuesday from OSU. You know Todd and Don, the university whose football team is going to the Rose Bowl? She is loving school and is doing very well. She has already switched her major from Athletic Training to pre med. My niece the doctor

I have already finished shopping for the girls. They know they have a budget from Aunt Kim and they get to choose what they want out of that. Shopping for teen age girls is so easy that way. And online is WONDERFUL. We head out for a round at the shoe store today and 2 of the girls will get the big part of their presents from Mom via the Uggs they want. Then my sister has to drive her oldest back to school for the last 10 days of this term.

Back to work tomorrow after a surprisingly relaxing weekend. 12 days until i get to DAP.

Kim

I hope you guys are taking lot of pictures. It sounds like you have a fun day planned. Safe travels.
Did you guys go to Fallingwater yesterday? One day I would love to see that house. It is my favorite Frank Lloyd Wright house.

I still have 11 to go, but what the heck...

OK, break over...back to laundry, etc...

 

[spaddy]

At this time next week I will be waiting at the airport for our flight to take off.

I am in a bit of vacation denial. I am not ready at all. I have not thought about what I was packing or what I am packing it in.

I bought the cutest Mickey hoodie yesterday at Walmart but it is going to have to go back. It's a little tight.

Thanks Brandie. Went back in yesterday and did the QS member thing and got mine down to $85. Saved $10. Trying it again today it's worse and I've tried the links you suggested.

Done playing with the car rental thing. The next time I go to Alamo's site will be to cancel the reservation and just ME. I've spent way to much time trying to save a buck. (With my B2B discount I get a 2nd driver free so I'm taking advantage of this for Friday night. If you know what I mean. )

Hey John!

Good morning everyone, I hope everyone has a great day!
I better go and get ready for breakfast.
I will check back later.

That's great Kelly. Nice job with the tree. Really like the Jullieanne version of RATCT. Is the time lapse a specific feature with your camera?

BTW - You are a wicked NERD GEEK.

Loved the video!!! DS especially loved seeing the dogs and the cat hanging out in the bottom right corner, just watching the world go by.

Second break over...back to work.
