Hey girls! One down - One to go! I need some quick opinions on a shirt I made at 4 am this morning.

What do you think? Wear it or not? It won't hurt my feelings! I wish I could have found an @ symbol but at 3am there is not a lot to choose from.

DEFINITELY wear it!!! I think it's adorable and will certainly get noticed!!!

I wanted to share with you ladies that I made my ADR's today!!! Set my alarm and got up to do them online at 6:01am. The online site wasn't the greatest. I ended up doing some online and then calling Disney Dining while sitting in my car. (so the kids couldn't hear, remember it's a surprise) Anyway, I was on hold for an HOUR. While on hold I got my laptop and brought that out to my car and did manage to do all of my ADR's online. I stayed on hold the whole time in case I had a problem.

Anyway, here's our restaurant choices for the trip!

LTT (dinner)
Kona (breakfast)
Artist Point (dinner)
San Angel Inn (dinner)
The Wave (dinner)
Chef Mickey's (breakfast)
Whispering Canyon (breakfast)
Coral Reef (dinner)
Sci-Fi Dine In (lunch)

LTT our first night is a tradition so I got that again for our first WDW meal. Kona can't wait for the Tonga Toast, Coral Reef because the kids LOVED it there, they both LOVE seafood! I originally booked Cindy's for dinner but then realized the princesses weren't there and heard the food was bad so I replaced it with The Wave which I heard is excellent.

SOOOO excited! We're one step closer! My brain is still frazzled from looking at all the reservations and switching days and all that.

You KNOW I love it since it was my idea! You HAVE to wear it! It's so cute! You did a great job! That was SO much fun shopping for that stuff at 3AM! We should do it again

AAAaaaahhhh!!! I can't wait for tonight! So excited and nervous!

I posted some of my pics from Cincy last night on Facebook and Twitter if you guys haven't already seen them.

 

[N&B'smom]

Is tonight your 5*???? Remember to give Jon a big hug from me!! I love him. Can't wait to hear all about it!!!!!

 

[Marshmelo]

Alright ladies, if by some miracle DW happens to mention me on Twitter, please save the screen as a pic for me! Just in case....

 

[hmdavid]

Love the shirt! You should definitely wear it! We have always receved a lot of attention when we have worn our shirts that we designed. Have fun tonighht ladies! I can't wait to hear all about it!!!

Shelby, I think your ADR's look great!!!!! I have ours made for September spread out over a period of 10 days. I can't officially book my trip until I know for sure when Brian will be here. We will find out around July 15th what his R&R dates are. However, I just found out that I can book Free Dining with the Military Salute tix. I just have to buy the one day ticket and then upgrade at the gate. Our 5 day tickets are only $99 each and Brian's is free thanks to the promotion, so that is only around $125 to upgrade the 4 other tickets to the 5 day passes! Anyhoo, I think I might go ahead and book free dining and then adjust my dates later if needed. It saves around $200 to do FD vs booking the room w/ the military 40% off adding dining and getting the mil. salute tix. We could have gotten super cheap flights this week if I had known for sure when we would be going. I don't even want to think about how much they might go up by the time we know our dates for sure!

Sorry you missed the concert tink76, but CONGRATS on the pregnancy! That is great news!!!

Well!?!??! How'd it go!?!???!?!?! Did you give the guys hugs from me???? Can't wait to hear all about it! I hope you weren't too rushed during the 5*!

I'm headed out shortly to take Noah to his baritone lesson. (he's in the band for middle school) While he's there Becca and I are headed to the store to get something to make for dinner, don't know what. Then we're headed to my father in law's yo go swimming! Finally some sunny days!!!

 

[kte28]

Congrats on the pregnancy tink! That's great news!

I tried to keep up with your tweets Karen and Melody. Sounds like you guys had such a blast. Can't wait to hear the full report.

I'm getting very jealous of hearing about all the nice weather some of you all are having. We're in Day 12340871 of nothing but rain. Ok, it's not quite that bad...but I think the news station this morning showed the June calendar and 26 days have been mostly rain. It's just kind of depressing. I need some sun! I need a beach!

Hope everyone's well.

I'm STILL on my nkotb high! I may never sleep again! It was beyond wonderful. GREAT show. The 5* seemed REALLY rushed! It only felt like a minute we were in there! I stood by Donnie the whole time. I walked up to him first (I was the first to walk in...how nerve wracking!), he was in the middle. He gave me a hug and made his 'growl' sound. I told him I was there for him and started saying "I've waited 20 years...." and he put his finger to his lips and said 'sshh' and took out a sharpie and signed my I still <heart> Donnie pin. He stood with his arm around me the whole time squeezing tight and rubbing my back and I kept rubbing his back (should have rubbed his stomach like Karen did Jordan! ) They took the two pics and said time to go. So, Jordan and then Jon were on my way out and were free, so I got a quick hug from Jordan and told him Thank You and then asked Jon if I could have one of his famous Jon hugs and he smiled and said sure. That was it! SO FAST! I was kind of disappointed at first, but now thinking back, it was wonderful, though of course I wish it had lasted MUCH longer. I feel bad for skipping Joe and Danny, but I've already met and talked to Joe for quite awhile a couple years ago and have an individual and group pic with him. I'm fine with not having talked to Danny...he was texting or something anyway. Our seats were at the side section, 7th row back. Not great, but not bad. We were hoping Donnie would show up at WH after the show, but we sat there with the rest of the PACKED lot there and the adjoining gas station until 2am (it's 2 in the morning GIRL...) and then left. My pictures are on Facebook now. Can't wait to see the 5* pic!

 

[cruiserkaren]

I love it! I hope you wear it!

I did and congrats on your pregnancy!


Girls, what an amazing weekend Melody and I had. No after concert love but we sure tried!

My M&G went well. But like everyone says it was JUST SO FAST!! Looking back trying to remember it and it's just a blur. I could not believe they were standing right there!!! I remember seeing Joe first but gals were walking toward him. Our group got split up so I knew I had to make a beeline for Jordan. I can clearly remember laying eyes on him for the first time. When I got to him he saw the shirt and asked me if I was on the cruise. I was afraid of that! I wish I hadn't picked that twitter name long ago! Anyway so I told him no, I had been on a lot of cruises but just not the one that mattered most - his! Got a good hug.

Jon was beside him. I leaned over to give him a hug at the same time another girl came around me from behind to give him a hug. I didn't see her and got in on their hug! I apologized and waited my turn. I told him I loved his tweets and they always crack me up. He muttered something like thanks or I'm glad or something.

They called for pictures. I didn't even hear it! I saw them line up and I was like Ohmygosh! or something b/c I was afraid I wouldn't get in with Jordan. He was like 'oh you come here' and put his arm around me. So I held on for dear life while saying I waited 20 for this! Original, huh?

After the pics I see Joe standing there alone so I go up and tell him "thanks for making me feel like a kid again. It's been so much fun!" and get a hug. He says no thank you and squeezes my hand!!! AAAHHH!

Danny is standing by himself texting. I go up and ask if I can have a quick hug. He says sure no problem! It was a quick one arm thing but I pretty much wrap him up! I tell him the same thing I told joe. I can't remember what he said, just thanks or something.

When I was with Danny they started wanting people out. Or they may have started saying it when I was with Joe, can't remember. I see Donnie alone and at least want to get a quick hug. So I go up and he's like "come here baby" puts his arm around my waist and pulls me to him! OMG! I started to say something and he's like hold on and grabs my lanyard and signs it. Tells me not to say anything to anyone. I say "Thank you so much!!!"

And then I ran out! It sounds ALOT longer typed out then in reality! It was probably like 90, no more then 120 seconds. I hate that I didn't get any "time" with Jordan but I had also decided beforehand that if I could I'd like to get to all of them if possible. So that's what I did. Looking back I feel a bit conflicted about if I should have tried to spend more time with Jordan. I feel like I was kind of a spaz trying to get to each of them. I know when I was with Joe he was looking at my shirt and I went to Danny! Looking back I'm like OMG I walked away from Joey Mcintyre! BUT I got to hug all 5 guys so I'm happy with that!!

I don't have all my pics loaded yet but I will post a few good ones I get. My camera isn't much so usually my pics aren't that great. I've got to go pick up the kiddies from my mom's so I won't be back on until later this evening probably.



ETA: Dear God I forgot I rubbed Jordans chest! LOL Thanks Melody!!! How could I forget that?? This day is SO weird. Such a high and low at the same time. Happy about the experience and sad that it'll be awhile for the next round.

Great 5* stories girls! I'm jealous. I never got to do a 5*. Maybe someday!

 

[Marshmelo]

I posted a longer review of my 5* experience on the M&G Concert thread on nkotb.com if you guys want to read it.

I also forgot to tell you that Donnie saw my sign and pointed to it during the show! Karen and I looked at each other and squealed.

 

[hmdavid]

Love the recaps! Sounds like you had a great experience!!!

Just saw a thread on Ning about being in the tour book so I read through it because I sent in fan pics way back when. Sure enough, someone posted a pic that they took of the page and they didn't get our whole photo in their pic, but you can see the bottom of our "Spending the night with our first 5 boyfrieds" shirts! Yay!!! We made it in!!! If anyone has bought one look through it and snap a picture of us in there! Ours is the one in the top left corner. Can't wait to see the whole page!!!

Melody and Karen I absolutely loved meeting you guys. Im just so sorry our group got seperated...ILAA was not being nice about that at all. But Im glad it worked out that you got to stand next to your guys anyway. Thats why we booked it to Joe so the girls that wouldnt trade with you guys couldnt get him (ha ha). Anyway I hope we get to meet up again you guys are both great. Im still waiting to come off my high. Joe blew me kiss from the stage and and and and...sorry that usually when I get a stupid grin on my face an loose my train of thought. Hopefully this isnt the end and we can meet up again...Let's continue this!!!!

It was great meeting you Krista! Thanks for trying to make it happen. I'm sad that it didn't work out At least we tried. And thank you very much for helping me figure out how to get in a group where I could get my Donnie time! I can't believe Joe blew you a kiss! Lucky!

Hey girlie! I so enjoyed meeting you and the other gals. Even though it worked out I'm still bummed our group got split up. That group would have rocked it! So much fun! I hope we get to do it again.

Awesome about Joe, you lucky gal.

Hey, everyone! I've posted on this thread before. Just wanted to check in and say hi. Our show is Thursday night and we are SO excited! We're really hoping for some after party tweets! Any advice or insight for someone who hasn't been to shows on the tour yet and we got regular tickets, so no meet and greet????

 

[cruiserkaren]

I meant to say this before but I forgot with the big weekend.....I am so eating my words back when I made fun and said I hated Jordan's guess who I am tweet game. I hated it last week when he didn't tweet for like 4 days or something! So I'll gladly take a game of "who am I thinking of" over nothing at all! I'm so pathetic!


Irish9697, Just enjoy! It seems to go by quick. The fastest 2 hours ever!

Hi Everyone! I FINALLY got some sleep last night! I wanted to tell you guys that I was playing cornhole with Doug last night and he got a good turn and said "D-Doug does it again!" I was cracking up! I said "did you just refer to yourself as D-Doug?"

We just got home from the zoo because Doug's on vacation this week. It was a wonderful day for it, mid 70s...a MUCH needed break from the 90s we've been having. Ugh...Karen and I burned up and sweated at Cincinnati Saturday. I think Nicolas is still a little young to really appreciate the zoo yet, but it was still fun. I think his favorite part was petting the goats.
