How did I miss that we are now staying at the same hotel???????

Maybe because you have THREE MORE SLEEPS!

We have got to plan our meet up!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Are you ready to rumble?



I feel like when I do the new versions of the Itinerary I'm going into battle.

Jen and I have come up with our own variation of the "Three Things" that Heidi (MRYPPNS) came up with for her solo trip. Three Must Do Things for each part of our day. Since there are two of us, we decided to do six things so we'd each have three. Sometimes we duplicated our things so there are various numbers of must dos.

So what do you think of Itinerary 5.0?

Where Am I?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Everytime I read your itinerary, I think about how much fun you and Jen are going to have!!!

Okay, I am laughing about the one Kim Possible mission. What? You don't want to do three in a row???

Well, I am not sure about the whole sand picture....the Poly beach, maybe?

 

[jenjolt]

Love our lists!!!!! I'm so excited about our must dos!! I loved how many we had in common!!!! YAY!!!!

Well, I am not sure about the whole sand picture....the Poly beach, maybe?

It takes a very brave woman to survive three of those missions...and I definitely take my hat off to you!! I think Leslie and I will be okay with just one LOL

 

[princess&her4princes]

Hi LL,
I've missed so much.....things look great!! Can't wait to hear more!!

 

[eandesmom]

Sand? I have to guess where the sand is from? There is an awful lot of darn sand to choose from!

Ok I'll go with FW Beach only b/c no one else will.



Your plans look GREAT!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

Where Am I?

OK, I tried to read your itinerary, but I was much too distracted by this picture of sand. I will go back and look at your plans but....... sand?!

I remember you watched Wishes from the Poly with your Mom, is that the shadow of a palm tree? I'm stumped.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm so happy to read you are excited about your resort!!! From our very brief visit to POFQ, both Joe and I thought it looked BEAUTIFUL! I'm sure you will love it.


I love, love, love your car magnet! How adorable, a very clever idea! Be sure to take a picture of it on the car.

Your plans look so great - I like the "Three Things" idea. I would like to use it for the big family trip in December, but that would make 12 "must do's" per park! Maybe I can adapt her idea...hmmmm!

Sand pic. Hmmm...the sand looks a bit rustic, so WL beach?

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Your plans look GREAT! So many fun things you're doing and the ADRs are scrumptious!! Love that you are building in a break every day -- that's the way to go, I think!

What is the Lou Mongello Walk thru Fantasyland? Is that a special event or you're following along with one of his recorded segments? Either way it sounds neat!

 

[MEK]

Are you ready to rumble?



I

Six Things:
*Haunted Mansion
*Ride newly refurbed Space Mountain/TTA
*Carousel of Progress
*Pirates of the Caribbean

And if you don't mind, could you also take Flat MEK for a ride on Space Mtn? That way I will have a preview before I ride it in May.

*Pirate & Pals Wishes Cruise @ Contemporary 6:45PM
*California Grill @ 9 pm

That sounds so fun????? Is that something I should consider for my May trip? Hmmmmmm - I will have to look into that!

Oh and CG - you will love it. Great way to end the night!

*Break @ French Quarter (I get a secret thrill everytime I type French Quarter. Eeeeeeeeeee!)

Because you are going to LOVEit there.

I love Version 5.0! It is awesome. Makes me long for a 7 day trip.

and the picture - I am going to say its the beach at Wilderness Lodge!

 

[MegansMom]

It all looks good dear!!!!

 

[meeko_33785]

5.0 looks great. This trip looks more and more fantastic every day.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Where Am I?

[/COLOR]

Ummm...the beach.

Your itinerary looks great! I like all your lists of things to do. The Kim Possible missions are actually pretty entertaining.

 

[MaryAz]

The plans look so good! Are you going to Twitter again?? Take lots and lots of pics!
I think that may be the Poly beach

 

[Wrexie]

I love the newest itinerary and it's great that you've prioritized so both of you know what are each others' "must-do" activities!

The photos of POFQ look so pretty and peaceful. I couldn't decide between that and CBR, but my husband loves anything Caribbean so when he saw pictures of that, he was hooked! We'll probably make it to POFQ on another trip someday.

I played around on Google Earth and checked out all the resorts from a bird's eye view so I know a lot about what they look like from above!

 

[jordanyosh]

All I see is Brown Derby, Jiko and CA Grill.... I think our interactions were what got me thinking that I need to upgrade to the DxDP for the solo part of my trip.....

 

[Lady Lallie]

NO ONE has gotten my Where in Disney Am I!!! I can't believe it. I've been putting off sharing this one because I thought it was too easy.

Should I give you all a clue?

Everytime I read your itinerary, I think about how much fun you and Jen are going to have!!!

Okay, I am laughing about the one Kim Possible mission. What? You don't want to do three in a row???

Well, I am not sure about the whole sand picture....the Poly beach, maybe?

Nope, I'm good with just one KP mission.

Love our lists!!!!! I'm so excited about our must dos!! I loved how many we had in common!!!! YAY!!!!

We really did but that doesn't really surprise me!

It takes a very brave woman to survive three of those missions...and I definitely take my hat off to you!! I think Leslie and I will be okay with just one LOL

I agree.

Hi LL,
I've missed so much.....things look great!! Can't wait to hear more!!

Hey You!!

Sand? I have to guess where the sand is from? There is an awful lot of darn sand to choose from!

Ok I'll go with FW Beach only b/c no one else will.



Your plans look GREAT!

Yep, sand. I really did think this one would be obvious.

OK, I tried to read your itinerary, but I was much too distracted by this picture of sand. I will go back and look at your plans but....... sand?!

I remember you watched Wishes from the Poly with your Mom, is that the shadow of a palm tree? I'm stumped.

Sorry! I didn't the sand would be such a stumper.

I'm so happy to read you are excited about your resort!!! From our very brief visit to POFQ, both Joe and I thought it looked BEAUTIFUL! I'm sure you will love it.


I love, love, love your car magnet! How adorable, a very clever idea! Be sure to take a picture of it on the car.

Sand pic. Hmmm...the sand looks a bit rustic, so WL beach?

I'm really excited about POFQ. I think it's going to be so peaceful and relaxing!

I will take a picture of it on the car. Well you could just do a number, with a big group you might be slow moving so three or four must dos might be good for you all.

Your plans look GREAT! So many fun things you're doing and the ADRs are scrumptious!! Love that you are building in a break every day -- that's the way to go, I think!

What is the Lou Mongello Walk thru Fantasyland? Is that a special event or you're following along with one of his recorded segments? Either way it sounds neat!

So when are you going to break down and join us?

I believe it's a recording, Jen asked to put that on the list so I'm not really sure.

Please make sure you ride EE for me. Can I send you a flat Mary Ellen to take on the ride. That way I can accomplish my goal of riding EE in the dark!!!!!!

And if you don't mind, could you also take Flat MEK for a ride on Space Mtn? That way I will have a preview before I ride it in May.

I love Version 5.0! It is awesome. Makes me long for a 7 day trip.

and the picture - I am going to say its the beach at Wilderness Lodge!

Bring on the flat Mary Ellen! I will gladly take you on some rides.

I will give you a full review of the cruise so you can think about it.

It all looks good dear!!!!

Thanks!

5.0 looks great. This trip looks more and more fantastic every day.

Thanks, I'm really excited with how everything is falling into place.

Ummm...the beach.

Your itinerary looks great! I like all your lists of things to do. The Kim Possible missions are actually pretty entertaining.

I am sure they are...I just am skeptical. I think it's probably because I never really watched Kim Possible and have no idea what she is all about. I'm willing to try one though!

The plans look so good! Are you going to Twitter again?? Take lots and lots of pics!
I think that may be the Poly beach

Yes, I do plan to Twitter again. I even have a camera on my cell phone now so hopefully there will be some pictures too. Not high quality but it will be something!

I love the newest itinerary and it's great that you've prioritized so both of you know what are each others' "must-do" activities!

The photos of POFQ look so pretty and peaceful. I couldn't decide between that and CBR, but my husband loves anything Caribbean so when he saw pictures of that, he was hooked! We'll probably make it to POFQ on another trip someday.

Oooh, what a good idea bout Google Earth! I might have to check that out.

 

[Lady Lallie]

All I see is Brown Derby, Jiko and CA Grill.... I think our interactions were what got me thinking that I need to upgrade to the DxDP for the solo part of my trip.....

Uh oh, I've enabled someone again.

I hope you stick with the DxDP, you need to eat at Brown Derby. I just feel very strongly about this.
