Hey, welcome to our stalking thread!! We will be at CRT at 8:10am on 6/27...what time will you be there? Our youngest DD will be turning 4 on our trip too! I have 1900 Park Fare planned for dinner on the night we are going to do her b'day.

 

[LizAgna]

I just hate that it has the time stamp on every post.... I could get busted that way... But I'm at home now... About to go out to eat.... So all is good! So glad it's finally the weekend!

Courtney - Where did you go for dinner tonight? We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, we usually go there on Sundays after church but we decided that we couldn't wait that long this week. I guess we will just eat Chinese after church this week...ha!

Do any of you fellow June stalkers Pin Trade? I have bought some pins off of eBay from some reputable people (according to the Disboard, of course)...this will be our 1st time to trade. I think my girls will enjoy it!!

My boys love to Pin Trade. (10, 8, 3, 3) It's one of their favorite things to do at WDW. We were talking tonight about what pins they want to get. They love trading with CMs that wear the green lanyards because those CMs can only trade with kids. Even my three year olds wanted pins last year. I think your girls will love it!!

I missed one day and have to read like 10 pages to catch up
So what ever happened to the meet and greet on Saturday June 23rd at Epcot?????? I think I will be there for dinner with the princesses. (I think our ADR are for 6:15 at Akershus.) I havent made my minute by minute touring plan for that day yet....so if we meet, I need to know a time and place so I can pencil all you stalkers in

 

[karibritt01]

Hey Crazy!!!!! Yes, we'll be there--- You know where to find us--- We'll be in Le Cellier for a little bit that night... I really hope to see you!!!!

Are you going to post your picture so I can stalk you????

Cause right now, you've got an unfair advantage... You know what we look like!

Ummm, Courtney... we have no idea what you look like! Will she be blonde? Brunette? Sporting the new Brittney Spears do?

We went out to IHOP last night... I had a craving for french toast! Tonight I was feeling really lazy, and ordered pizza. At this rate I'll never lose weight before the trip! Guess I have to get serious tomorrow... except the kids are going to an egg hunt, and will be bringing home baskets of candy. Maybe I'll just learn to love the extra 15 pounds!

That's good to hear!! The girls have no clue I am getting pins for them on eBay...I am having them shipped to me at work. I have a box in my office full of stuff related to our trip. Pins, lime green hand-held fans from the $1 store, spiral notecards to use as autograph books and even scrapbooks for me to do after we get back!!

Back to pin trading...my oldest looks much older than she is, most people think that she is around 14 but she is only 10, do you think the CMs with the green lanyards will give her a hard time when she tries to trade with them? How many pins do you think we will need for each girl? I don't plan to buy any down there that we will trade, the ones we buy will be keepers.

 

[SingingMom]

I absolutely will say a prayer for them. Everyone needs to experience the joys and magic of Disney World!

slow getting through my posts tonight!.... Thank you, DawnMaree (do I have the right name?!) I appreciate your prayers for my sister and family!

I have a lot of stuff put aside, too. Light-up Mickey lollipops, light-up fiber optic thingies, new autograph books, etc. I need to get the handheld fans at some point, but haven't done it yet. I also need to get their crocs soon, so they can start breaking them in.

We will be driving down there from NC, about 9 hours. I have ordered several new DVDs for them to watch during the drive. Since they haven't seen them before, it keeps them more interested, and less fighting! To me, this is my most important pre-trip purchase!

I don't think the CMs with green lanyards will give her a hard time. I have seen adults try to trade with them and they won't do it, but I think your daughter should be fine. They trade with other CMs too. I have never bought any ahead of time. Until reading that on here, that idea never crossed my mind. (I have never bought anything on e-bay either because I don't know how it works. I will have to look.. any tips?) My kids usually end up with 10 pins. I guess if I found some cheap ones on e-bay they would have more. They always have pins they buy that they would never trade. Then they have some that they are willing to trade and they always trade up. You know, trade their pin for a better one. This really is sooooo much fun for the kids.

Isn't it fun to have this stuff put aside! I have some of the same things. I have found most my stuff at the Disney Outlet store. I also need to get my kids their crocs too.

We are driving down there from TN, so I totally agree that the new DVDs for them to watch during the drive is the most important pre-trip purchase.

 

[karibritt01]

I found a website called www.deepdiscountdvd.com that has most current DVDs at a reduced rate, and free shipping. Today I ordered Inspector Gadget, Mr Magoo, Apple Dumpling Gang, and Once Upon a Mattress (Princess and the Pea). Total was $42. Throw in some old favorites, and they will be happy the entire ride! We also buy Color Magic paint books, magna-doodle boards, and playdough. We try to stop a few times where they can run around some - McDonalds or a rest area.

OK here we are Courtney, and anyone else trying to stalk us!

Epcot DIS meet. Let's tentatively plan for this and as we get closer, we can decide exactly where and maybe exchange cell #'s?

Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know where I can get the handheld misting fans (besides Disney World). I was hoping to get them before our trip and maybe save some money.

I love that picture of you and your family! Was it professionally done? I really love oceanside portraits and would love to have one done for our family some day.

We went to On the Half Shell.... It's a local seafood restautant, specially known for their oysters on the half shell. We'll, I don't eat oysters, but they have THE BEST grilled shrimp po-boys.... It was so yummy! And we had fried crab claws as an appitizer.... YUMMO!!!! Thank goodness I live in LA b/c I love my seafood!!!

Ummm, Courtney... we have no idea what you look like! Will she be blonde? Brunette? Sporting the new Brittney Spears do?

This is very funny KB! I can assure you that I won't look like Britt's new do! Most probably it will be more on the brown side than the blonde side.... Tell ya what... Just look for a little 5'2" girl next to her hottttt husband!!!!!! His look won't change!

OK here we are Courtney, and anyone else trying to stalk us!

Okay, whatever CrazyK---- I can't believe you didn't post that earlier, or in your siggie.... Yall are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! You should be very proud of showing off that cute little family of yours!

Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know where I can get the handheld misting fans (besides Disney World). I was hoping to get them before our trip and maybe save some money.

Sista---- Wal-Mart!!!!!! They have the non-misting ones and they have the misting ones. Tell me if your WM doesn't have them--- I'll ship you some... They are really cute colors, and SO much cheaper!

I absolutely LOVE seafood too. I love having an ocean vacation where I eat fresh seafood all the time. Admit that is my 2nd favorite vacation place - Florida beaches!

Thanks BFF for the heads up on Wal-Mart. I almost never go there cause I love Target more but I'll have to make a special trip.

I would absolutely love to see your trip report to see if you actually followed these specific times at each park! I am just hoping I can leave the parks in the afternoon to take a break for my kiddos and return later.

I don't think the CMs with green lanyards will give her a hard time...(I have never bought anything on e-bay either because I don't know how it works. I will have to look.. any tips?)

Good, I hope they don't give her a hard time...when I say she looks older, she really does. The other night DH measured us and she is about an inch taller than me which makes her 5'5", that's just too tall for a 10 year old... . As far as eBay goes I have bought most of mine from gyantzpod (I got his name from the pin trading thread on the collector's board, I think). All of his pins have the official pin trading logo on them and are very nice. I have paid around $3.50 for most of them, some less, some more but I have not paid full price for any of them. I have gotten some CM pins also. I think my girls will really like it when they get the hang of it!!

We will be driving down there from NC, about 9 hours. I have ordered several new DVDs for them to watch during the drive. Since they haven't seen them before, it keeps them more interested, and less fighting! To me, this is my most important pre-trip purchase!

I haven't thougth about getting new ones for the trip...looks like more things for my box at work...I may have to get a bigger box . I'll definitley check out the website that you gave. We will be driving from Alabama which is about a 9 hour drive too.

Hi, we'll be at CRT for lunch on the 27th. I tried to get a breakfast time but couldn't. THinking about trying again.

Keep trying I have heard of people getting breakfast on the day that they want because someone cancelled. Check out the CRT thread on the restaurant board because I have seen where people will post their cancellations.

I'm jealous...DH & I love seafood but we don't have any good restaurants around here that are resonably priced...they are all too expensive to put in our regular Friday night rotation...

Ok.. you guys are just so chatty

I was originally up at 5am with a migraine I had to come down and take my Imitrex(What a lifesaver for me)..I sat down here and read for a bit, and thought I would reply to some posts...but I headed upstairs to the bed instead.

So who is flying down to Disney, who is Driving down????

We are driving. I much rather fly, but funds dont seem to be there for flying.
We are actually driving to the Ft Lauderdale area first to spend time with the parents.According to mapquest, its suppose to be 14 hrs, although last time it seemed like it took longer. The kids get out of school June 15th(Friday). I orginally wanted to leave that day. The lady who is taking care of my dogs is a teacher and wont be home until later that day. I figured we will leave bright and early Saturday morning.

I, like some of the others, have stuff stashed away. I bought the Peter Pan movie and it came with some bonus movie cd put away, plus bought the Robots movie as well . I have some Disney Pez dispensers I got at Walmart put away, some Magic cards for the older kids, some small doodle bears for the girls. Those were $1.25 on clearnace at Walmart

Today me and the kids are heading out to some yard sales/rummage sales. There seem to be a ton in the area.
My husband is working this morning. So its me and the 3 kids ...The youngest one is no problem.. its those two older ones who drive me up the wall

Wish me luck finding some good bargains
I May head back to the Disney store to see if they marked the tshirts down to $2.99...all depends on those kids..
