Yay! I'm hoping the free dining doesnt make things too busy in the parks tho, kinda nervous about that! And yes, since our (yet to be concieved) child will be the only grandchild they get, im sure it will be quite the trip!

 

[Disneymoon09]

Ok i pinky swear that i will be updating tomorrow. I got really busy last week and this weekend but i promise its coming!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Uh Oh!!!! Broken pinky swear!!!!!

 

[Disneymoon09]

Uh Oh!!!! Broken pinky swear!!!!!

i knew someone would call me out on that! An update is currently in the works and will be posted today!

 

[Disneymoon09]

So sorry for the delay, I really have some good excuses though!

-I started my 4th, yes 4th, part-time job this week.
-things at home have been, well, interesting.
-I started a 4th part-time job!

So there you have it. I’m a busy gal. I work on a daily basis 2 of my 4 jobs. I’m sure the time will come when I have to work 3 of them in one day, and I am not looking forward to that! I guess we all make sacrifices to feed this Disney habit!

Anyway! I do have some good things for this update. I made my ADR’s last week, on my birthday. I actually got up at 545am just to do it, and didn’t get to go back to sleep because I had a job interview for that 4th job that day as well. Since I got awesome ADR’s, and the job, I would say it was a pretty awesome birthday!

Well December hours came out surprisingly on time around the first. I will say, I am kind of disappointed. I’m not sure we will be able to take advantage of many EMH’s due to our wedding, and perhaps a trip to US/IoA with the in-laws. This has yet to be finalized and I have a feeling we will not be able to afford more park tickets, so we will more than likely scrap this. I did not really plan my ADR’s around park hours, scandalous, I know! So here they are!

Dec 1st (arrival day, around 330 to ASMo)- Yak and Yeti @ 530 pm
Dec 2nd (wedding night) – California Grill at 720 pm, hopefully with a window seat for Wishes
Dec 3rd (this is the possible US day) – Boma @ 540, possibly MVMCP?
Dec 4th- Teppan Edo @ 650 pm
Dec 5th- Raglan Road @ 7pm
Dec 6th- Le Cellier @ 8pm
Dec 7th- probably CS since we used 2 TS credits for Cali grill


We might just eat at Beaches and Cream on arrival night instead of hitting a park, but we will most likely see how we feel once we get there.

I used the online booking system and it was a breeeeeze! I really liked it. Although I have tried calling for ADR’s, I always prefer using the computer for these things.

I bought 3 disney shirts the other day at Hot Topic that were on sale, however I think 2 of them are going back. They are cute, but I’m not sure I like them after bringing them home. One is tink, one is ariel, and one is alice in wonderland (a movie I have never seen). But who knows, I might keep tink and return just ariel. I go to a doctor’s appointment at the end of October and there is a Disney store in that town, so I want to hit them up to see what they have on sale. I hate to pay shipping charges online when I could get it at the store. Also the instant gratification if bringing it home can’t be beat.

Now that ADR’s are done my next step it working out our days in the parks/ out of the parks. I really wish we could afford a rental car, but with us being under 25, they charge a $25 fee per day on top of the rental fee, so that makes it out of reach for us. We are hoping we can rely on our parents, who will be driving down for the wedding, to take us anywhere we may want to go outside the world.

Places we want to visit outside the world:
Give kids the world village (where we will be getting married)
Prime Outlets (I loooooove to shop)
Any other shopping venue
A restaurant after the wedding with our families


Now to go off topic for a moment. Does anyone want a dog?! Ours is out of control lately. She is half jack Russell/cairn terrier. Insane mixed with psycho. She destroys everything, barks at the littlest sounds, doesn’t listen to a word we say, whines and barks at me when I’m on the computer, cannot be trusted out of her cage alone in the house (she’s 2 ½). I am at the end of my rope with her. I know if I brought up getting rid of her my fiancé would flip out. He thinks she is an angel and doesn’t see what I’m talking about. He is also gone 10+ hours a day and doesn’t have to deal with her constantly. My in-laws would say, because they have before, that if I cannot deal with the dog, how will we ever deal with a child. Well a child is different in my book. Obviously. Sorry for the hijack, I needed to vent!

I think this is all I have for now. Thanks for sticking with me through so many broken update promises.

That's easy for your MIL to say...she doesnt have to deal with the dog!! lol! Heard many a simliar story from various friends...which is why I have a cat! Can totally sympathize, though! Sounds like you've got a full plate, what with the planning and the jobs and the dog (and the MIL!). I hope it all comes together for you, though, and that you have a great time! Sending good luck your way!

Thanks! It is a lot to handle lol! Hopefully after DF gets back on his feet and finds a good job then we will be back in business and not so stressed. Im about about a 14 on a 1-10 stress scale!

All caught up! I can't believe how time is flying!

Haha i bet it didnt take too long to catch up! I guess I'm better at doing a few large updates then a bunch of little ones! Hopefully i can get my rear in gear and get my park days planned so i can post those! It does seem like time is flying though! December will be here before we know it. We can't wait! I'm excited for you to start your PTR so I can compare some of our plans. I feel a little overwhelmed with all the options

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yay for the update...we are all busy in life so don't worry about the time between updates! We will stick around either way!

Thanks! My days are starting to slow down a bit, which is good for my stresss level, but bad for my wallet! Hopefully we can find a good balance soon so I can worry a little less. I did get some inspiration from MRYPPNS PTR about doing plans in publisher so I'm playing around with that right now. I will let you know what i get together! One thing i know i need though is a printer! Ours bit the dust a while ago and we have not replaced it yet. We desperately need one soon for all the park plans and confirmation numbers we need to print out!

 

[Disneymoon09]

well i spoke too soon in the last post. my days are actually just as crazy as ever. So I'm working on a post and hopefully in the next few days (my goal is friday) i will post an update.

[Disneymoon09]

There aren’t many changes to write about (thankfully!). However, we are very excited to have our trip PAID IN FULL!! And we did not have to put one cent on a credit card. Trust me, that is a feat in itself! I have started making a list of all the things that need done in the next month and a half.

Take dog to the vet for her shots
Call dog boarder
Arrange travel details with future brother in law for airport
Find a hotel for my parents
Decide on a rental car
Get mousekeeping tip envelopes ready
Order/purchase some Disney clothing (I need some sweatshirts and DFi needs some t’s)
Decide between US or MVMCP
Decide on some ADR’s (possible changes????)
Measure our luggage and make sure is it going to work
-this may not matter if we get the set we want at my bridal shower lol
Make a packing list
Talk to doctor about a mask on the plane (I have cystic fibrosis and all this H1N1 is starting to concern
me lol)
Possibly buy a Vera Bradley backpack in Blue Rhapsody for my park bag
FINALLY get park days organized and convince DFi to finally look at my Disney books to see what his
“must do’s” are


This is all I can think of for now, I’m sure I am missing about 100 things lol. I hope to have some better plans soon. My Bridal shower is Nov. 14th and I am super excited. With all the drama with the wedding and everything, I never thought I would make it to the point of actually having a shower! Thanks for keeping up with me, even though I have no pictures, nor am I very good at updating lol.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Great job being PIF!!!! Hope your lists start getting checked off!!! Have fun at your shower and hope you get "showered with gifts"!! Corny...I know!!!!

Thanks! I'm really looking forward to seeing all my family and college friends, and who can say no to a day all about them!?

 

[mandy2012]

We will be there around the same time

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I want to know what your thoughts are on MVMCP.....
We aren't arriving in time to go but I so wish we were.
We've done the P&P party and loved it, done MNSSHP and loved it.
I can't imagine not wanting to do the Christmas party....

I'm still not sold on MVMCP. I think its a lot of money to be spent on things we could see on a normal day in the park. I've heard it descriped just as "stale cookies, luke warm hot cocoa, and a parade thats a little longer". And being from OH, I've seen snow lol, so that doesnt hold much appeal for me to see snow on main st. I think we will pass this time, I still have to confirm with DFi about it, but i believe the only way we will go is if someone buys us tickets thru our Honeymoon registry. I like the appeal of having the rides open at night, but am a little leary about the crowds playing into it. I know there are people who go every year and have seen all the x-mas things, so now they go for short wait times. As you can see, I'm still torn, but leaning towards no this time. Money is tight and I would rather take the $110 and spend it towards souveniers, or tips for our meals.

Now MNSSHP is a different story! I would def. shell out the extra money to see that!
