Having read Kate's tee shirt thread I thought I'd better pull my finger out and design some... I think I might wear this one to MGM...

Then I'm going to make this one for DH2B

Love them both, but especially the Grumpy one! It would so fit my DH. He's a Grumpy guy and a night owl.

Okay DDA's I can't figure out how to resize a transfer for a 4T type shirt, it keeps cutting the edges off even when I try to resize etc. Please help. BTW its the Christmas Mickey Mouse Midnite made. Thanks!

Geez....I have been gone for a few days and I miss all of the drama.

Denise, I am glad that everything worked out for you. I can only imagine all of the agony you must have gone through that day. I hope you get some sort of compensation from AAA. At least in the end, everything was still in place.

On another note, I would like some feedback from those of you that have just returned from your trips. We are considering a short trip to WDW next Oct. for MNSSHP. From what I see, we have to arrive by like the 4th of Oct. for value rates. How unbearable hot/humid is it down there at that time of year? Would it make that much difference in the temp if we waited a few weeks and went down mid to late Oct. and paid the regular season rates? We have never been any other time of year other than December, so I am a bit nervous about October.

I saw a group of Women getting off of It's a Small World on Oct. 21st MNSSHP around 9:00 p.m. I couldn't catch up to see who it was.

They were all wearing I believe the Haunted Mansion Design on Black T-shirts. And one of them was wearing a Green Mickey head on her fanny pack.

Okay who were you?

 

[tinker1bell]

So Steffy and I are gone just for one day and everything almost comes apart. Denise, glad you got everything taken care of. Tammi, We were in WDW from Sept 24 to Oct 2, 2005. It was hot but everyone who worked there said it is not usually that hot. Just have protection, take a large hat and find lots of shade. Keep drinking a lot of water.

BENGALBELLE! Go Tigers. Great ending. and all is right with the world. got my trip stuff all straight, Bama wins, and AUBURN loses!

First, I am so glad you got your trip straight. I have always booked straight through Disney Travel Co. We do this because they will give you discounted rates even if it is after your 45 days. We looked at AAA first and now I won't again.

Second, it was a wonderful day for Alabama football. We spent the day in T-town & enjoyed the close win. Icing on the cake when we heard Auburn lose on the radio on the way home.

I was there last year on Oct 30, it was like 80 mostly, one day was real hot tho. I went in Dec too and loved that weather best! Tough to say, but I think end of Oct is ok.

Thanks for the concern! They wouldn't talk to me about it there. They would only take my information down and have someone contact me. The day we got home, which was exactly 1 week later, we received in the mail a long form to fill out. We have to list everything we ate or drank for 72 hours. They can't make it easy. My mom was sick too. We both had chicken parm at Mama Melrose. We know it was food poisoning because we were very sick exactly 12 hours after and both at the same time. Also in the close quarters of a value resort, nobody else caught it. I will update after Disney responds but I think it will take a long time.

Welcome back...looking forward to your pictures...




So what happened..did they compensate you in any way? Sorry that happened on your vacation!

That can not be fun at all. Did you miss a day at the parks? Would you eat there again? I have PS there for the first time, never been, I know I won't be getting chicken parm

I missed a few days and boy I seem to have missed a lot!

Kate - thanks for posting your T-shirt tips and photos post - the shirts look awesome!

Triplefigs - I'm so sorry you had the AAA scare - and so glad things seem to have been straightened out! I've been happy with AAA for service; but the several times I tried to talk to travel agents there at our office (mostly for Disney trip plans/ideas) I found them to be unhelpful, unknowledgeable, and sometimes rude.

Well really if you count the hours, one full day.
Steffy and I have gone down to Cape May every year for the past eight. So this is year number 9. Even after 9 days in WDW, I said I could not miss a tradition we started and needed to get some christmas gifts. We started off with staying one night, then moved it to two nights. I said how about just one night this year and off we went.
While driving down, we were thinking of where to eat and had talked about our favorite places and decided on Godmothers for dinner that night. Yes, there is a place called that They make their own pasta and it is just the best. Sorry folks, it is better than Mama Melrose's.
Since we left so early yesterday, (I was up at 7am and I am not a morning person) we thought well, why not stop at the Crab Trap, (yes it is called that) for lunch. The food is fantastic, in the past we have waited as long as 1 hour, 45 minutes. We were still able to have our favorite dish. Sweet Potato crusted Salmon. Instead of a baked sweet potato on the side they sorta mashed the potato and put butter and brown sugar and mixed it all together. It was just the best and we ohhed and awed the whole meal. After while heading on to Cape May, we were talking about Steffy's car, (Miss Blueberry) and how she had stood up to these trips and thankfully she has not had to try anything amphibious. It had been raining and just at that time, we drove through a very big section of water. Sprayed up past the window. We laughed so hard and all I could think of was thank goodness for protection.
We get down to our hotel, check in and take off to do our shopping. My first stop was going to try to exchange a bracelet for something else at a place called Trade Winds. We pull up to the place and it is empty. No signs, no explaination, just a For Rent sign out front.
Okay, no problem, you just go to the next place and start shopping. We park, feed the meter and start off to the first of many places we go to every year. We start to walk past the candle place and I notice that it looks VERY different.
I walk in and nothing is the same. NOW I am getting very worried. I tell Steffy that if the Children's store is gone I am going to freak out. The next words out of my mouth is "Dorothy, we are not in Kansas any more." At the same time Steffy says "I feel like I am in the twilight zone. Do do do do

We turn the corner and phew, that store is still there. We ask the store owner some questions and she tell us that it seems that a few changes were made this year. Someone sick, someone just decided it was time to move on, someone else decided he could make more money renting the building than having his own shop, etc. That made sense so we finished shopping there and went on to the next shop.
We finally get to the one store that I have managed to buy something every year there that you would just not find where we live. Well, the name is different, the contents are different and I was kinda in shock.
We go outside and talk about this and agreed that if just one store had changed we would have understood. We look over and WOW, the one store that we have managed to find little things every year is there. I have found unusual Harley Davidson things for DH and all I wanted was for that store to be the same. Thankfully it was. After Steffy found candle lights for the windows for her home, we walked on to our next store.
We come up to it and it is dark. Now I knew with the owner being elderly, there was always a chance she might not be there. We think well, she just closed early and will be there tomorrow.
Finishing for the day, we head on to Godmother's and had the best meal. Me, lasagna, Steffy the veal. Steffy had the Creme Brule for desert. Went back to the hotel, watched Chicago and off to dreamland.
Today we headed back to finish shopping and went back to the Imporium. I found the best sign for DH, it had billiards and snooker and a place for scoring on it. I was so excited. One of these years our basement will be the best bar, playroom ever.
Back to the one store that was closed. Still closed, and all I could think is the owner might be sick or even worse. Every year I have bought very unique ornaments for friends and family members and all I could think was that I was not going to be able to continue a tradition that I look forward as much to as those who receive the gifts. We found out that indeed she had fallen and luckily was ok. I was able to find some of the same type of ornaments at another place so that ended ok but again a little wrench in our traditions. We did manage to find some very warm and snuggily socks at one place made by the same person who designed pjamas that are on the list of Oprah's favorites. I have them on now and I wish I could wear them to work

We finally finished shopping and discovered that Steffy had made the most purchases which is unusual since I usually have the most to buy. Of course with some stores being gone, that easily changed my list.

We had the best time, good food and now of course I am so very tired, to off to bed for a good nights sleep. Need to get to work on time.
Steffy will write about our trip to WDW really soon.
