Courtney... best of luck to you! It's a shame Maddie can't go and "model" the merchandise. Take some pics of her out so people can see how adorable she looks!

I know! I actually do bring pictures and place them on the table. I have her modeling some of the most popular outfits so people can see what they look like on.

And, really, Maddie doesn't do well in social environments!

I don't even bring her to the dog Mardi Gras parade where I have a booth... She starts shaking and gets all nervous.... Heck, she hates garbage days.. Just the sound of the truck freaks her out--- puts her hiding under the bed for hours!

Where in NC foothills do you live?

In Alexander County, Hiddenite. Love the country and small school systems.


Which restaurant, Hmmmmm......... Seeing how we have only tried Pecos Bill in MK and Flame Tree in Ak. All of the ones we have ADR'S for.

What am I doing this weekend. Friday hanging out with DH, and kids and Sat morning going to DS baseball game. After that try to go shopping.

Courtney --- good luck with the booth, hope you get lots of customers.

 

[karibritt01]

Friday night, I think we are going to go shopping. I want to get the kids some crocs, and drop a ring off at the jewelers for repairs. Sat we have a soccer game around noon, and Wynn has to play at a wedding in the late afternoon. Sunday we have church. I am hoping we can take the kids to the park to ride bikes, but we will have to wait and see what the weather looks like.

Thanks castawaymam!!!! I hope so too! I'll have to report back to yall on Saturday night!!!

Courtney: Good luck with the booth! Mocha would LOVE to come, but he won't model for you. But, if there are PEOPLE.... HE"S THERE. He's like a social butterfly. All I have to say is, "Mocha, go to school? See kids?" and he tears over to the inside garage door and wiggles like crazy with excitement! Then, he stands on the playground, and greets EVERYONE of them as they pass by!

Mandy - what is SSE? I'm not on top of all the intials of Disney places! lol

Crazy K - Happy Birthday to your son!

Tonight was opening night of "Annie" - Dana was one of the maids - we have that again tomorrow night, with a cast party following. Not sure yet what the weekend holds!

So funny!!!! I swear they undersand english. It's amazing... Ryan and I have to now use code words so Maddie won't figure it out... She's training us well for kids!

I don't know what SSE is either.

I'm sure Dana did great tonight! I love Annie!!!!

Spaceship earth

That disappoints me. First Haunted Mansion, and now Spaceship Earth. At least it will be open for part of our trip. I also originally had ADRs for Teppanyaki... until they changed the rehab dates. Why can't they push HM rehab back 2 weeks!!!

the spaceship earth dates aren't on disney's website. It will be going down this earth to update the scenes and such.

i'm glad HM is going down cause after last year it needs it badly. I've never seen a ride so bad.

 

[karibritt01]

I did find the Spaceship Earth dates on Disney's site. I check about twice a week just to see if they have updated/changed anything. HM didn't seem bad to me... but it had been 9 years since I had ridden it. I just know Avery loved it, and rode it 6 times last summer. She cried when I told her it would be closed this year. Its just tough to spend this much on a vacation, and her favorite ride be closed.

When I went in July, you couldn't see down the hallway. Some of the effects weren't working. Audio was bad.

Pirates of the Caribbean was closed last year - Dana was very disappointed. She's looking forward to that this June. Now, HM - she's thrilled we won't force her to go through it again. lol She rode "Tower of Terror", but wasn't comfortable with Haunted Mansion! Go figure!

Went to find misting fans today and instead picked up two cute little fans that can clip to your bag or belt loop - and they are LIME GREEN!!

Pirates reopened on the last day we were there. We ran over there after the parade, and got in with a 5 minute wait. By the time we got off, the line was all the way out of the pavilion, so we didn't get to ride any more.

LOL We don't say TOT... we say "the fun tower!" If we use the word terror, both kids flat out refuse to ride!

I haven't found the little fans at Wal-mart this year. They had either the misting fan, or a plain one that was about 4 inches long, and had a larger head. I just want some little ones. Avery bought a misting one for herself, and Tuck has one from last summer... Oh, joy! For any interested, BJs Warehouse has little handheld misters for $3. You fill them with water, and pump up the bottom to build air pressure. Then push the button to get misted. Very cool and no batteries! And small enough to not waste space in your backpack.

Geez, you guys were busy today. Of course I was stuck sitting for my niece to be, the darling little angel she is (not!). But we love her and now I'm trying to catch up after a night of Grey's.

This weekend we're taking books/tapes to half price books to get them out of my house and then I'm sitting the kids at our church as a favour (and it pays!). Sunday we have church. Not sure what else we'll do. Have to sit down and figure out a plan.

House prices are insane. They don't make any sense to me. We live in a small little house in a "mixed lot" community (some townhomes, some stand alone ths, some regular homes and gigantic houses going up next year) and we're paying $10000 in taxes for our "stand alone townhome". We paid about $200000. This area is "up and coming" and they're trying to fix the schools.

Restaurants...ummm, well, I'm really hoping we get CRT ressies through MAW as dd really, really wants to "dance with Cinderella" and see the castle. She will just be thrilled if we get this little special time.

I soooo need to go to bed. Someone tell me to go to bed please!

 

[karibritt01]

CRT Cindy is only in the lobby, and only for breakfast and lunch. I'm not sure if she is at dinner, but I'm sure someone else will know. Your best bet may be Cindy's Gala at 1900 Park Fare for dinner. It has Cindy, Prince, and the mice all come to the tables. We did CRT breakfast last year and DD3 loved it. DS8 also enjoyed it. This year we are doing the princess breakfast at Norway, and the Gala for dinner.

Now... GO TO BED!! I know I am! Goodnight all!

 

[LizAgna]

Wow - 7 pages to catch up on...let's see if I can remember everything...

Housing & taxes - houses in my neighborhood 3/2.5 cost around $165K and taxes are $750...and people complain about the $750!

Restaurant - I'm looking forward to LeCellier oldest DD's birthday, 1900 Park Fare youngest DD's birthday & 'Ohana 16th anniversary!! Sorry I couldn't just pick one!!

Courtney - good luck with sales at your festival this weekend!! I hope you sell a lot!!

Weekend - DD & I will be leaving at 5:30am Saturday for a trip to Washington DC with her 5th grade class...we will return at 6:00 on Friday 5/4...we are very excited! I will miss you all though!! I wonder how many pages I will have to read to catch up on everyone's week??

I have to tell you all about my "deal of the day"...I went to our local shoe store to get some black Crocs for the DC trip and they didn't have any in my size so I decided to go to the outdoor store a few miles down the road...all of their Crocs were $14.99...they didn't have any black ones at all BUT they have some 1 pair of Lime Green ones & they were in my size!! I can wear them on the DC trip with my lime green trip t-shirt & the yellow trip t-shirt.

I think that's it...nope one more thing...Wendygrace go to bed!!

 

[wendygrace]

Alright, Alright. I'm off to bed! G'night. LOL

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Thanks LizA--- Have a GREAT trip!!! I'm sure you'll have a lot to catch up on when you come back!!!! We'll miss you!
