"Does Peter have to come to Disney with Us???"

I hope you got some sleep tonight Ann! I'm sorry you are down, I can relate, it's been a long winter and I'm ready for nicer days, sun, and spring to arrive! I hope you feel better today! :)
 
Aww, i'm so sorry about your friend. So sad. Sorry you didn't feel well on that gorgeous day too. AND... i'm sorry you just had a crappy week in general. Hope all goes back to normal very soon for you!
 
Thanks for asking, Pam. I'm doing ok.....Just trying to push through this funk I'm in to get to the other side. I will get over it --- I always do. I'm not able to get to Massachusetts for my "Uncle"'s funeral or viewing. The viewing is today and the funeral is tomorrow. With my Mom being in Florida and having to find a place for Victoria to stay it just wasn't feasible. I'm just trying to keep on schedule and make sure the housework, etc doesn't pile up. I feel a whole lot worse if I let things get out of control, so every evening I have something planned, whether it be a load of laundry or a craft project. I still have some cards to make for the GADGAD program for Peter's contribution. Last night I picked up the spare room a little bit more (this is where Peter's stuff is going) so I was a bit productive. I'm still not sleeping that well, though. My goodness, I sound depressing!!! :scared1:

So, I've been reading your ptr and I must say I got quite the laugh out of Manny's ride on the bike!!! He looked so cute! I still haven't watched the Princess and the Frog yet. By the time I return that movie it will have cost me $7!!!! Maybe tonight. Hopefully! I do have some positive/exciting things going on......tomorrow is payday so I will get to order the airline tickets!!! We will be flying United out of Portland. Can you believe they are cheaper than JetBlue? Unfortunately Southwest doesn't fly into Portland, so I couldn't use them. I can't wait to actually have that confirmation in my hot little hands. That's sooo exciting!! I also have to make my ADR's on Saturday --- my 180 day mark!!! The travel agent I am going through says she'll make them for me, but I'm not too sure about that --- that's control I really hate giving up. But, I trust her (I think). It seems as thought everything is on track. I have to put another $228 down on my trip (I have it budgeted to do that every pay period) and I owe my Mom $200. Wow....bye bye to another paycheck, but it's all worth it!!! :yay: We definitely have to decide when we are meeting up in Disney! It doesn't have to be a long visit --- just enough to say hi!

How are the wedding plans going? I still have some vases to pick up and some ribbon, but other than that it's just a waiting game. I could start on the invitations/RSVP's but I still have plenty of time for those. Even so, hopefully I will at least start them this weekend. Other than picking Mom up at the airport on Sunday, my weekend is free.
 

I'm sorry you couldn't make it up there :hug:

At least it looks like you have some good things to look forward to. Booking the plane tickets and ADRs :thumbsup2

My wedding planning is pretty much just hanging out too. I have to have my invitations done by the end of April. I also need to get the girl's their dresses, but I think my Dad is going to buy those. So, nothing much right now.

Glad you got a laugh out of Manny's bike ride. He's always getting on the kid's bikes and scooters :rolleyes1

And as for airfare for me! Well, I'll probably be able to purchase that in May. Southwest just released their prices for September and oh boy! Not looking good. $139 each way. Times that by 6 and that leaves us at $1800.00 That is not going to happen. Right now Jetblue is at $104 each way and Spirit is at $84, but that is with 1 stop. So, not too sure. Driving is looking pretty tempting about now!

And yes, we have to figure out when/where we'll meet up. I know we'll be at Epcot on the same day, so that's a possibility. We'll also be at ASMu together so we can go for a swim too!
 
Ann, I'm sorry you've been in a funk. I'm in one as well, so we can be funky together. ;) I'm not even sure we can go at this point. Sigh. I would try to cheer you up, but I don't have any cheer to give out right now. I'm off to sit in the sun and work in the garden, maybe I'll find some?!?!
 
Karen,

Do you really think telling me that you are sitting in the sun and working in the garden is going to make my mood any better??? ARE YOU FREAKING NUTS, GIRL???!!!! :scared1: It's 40 degrees and POURING here!!! So not fair!!! Actually I am happy you are having good weather!! :)
 
Just read this on Stitch Kingdom: Our source informs us that Star Tours will close on September 8. The anticipated upgrade for Star Tours (aka Star Tours 2.0) features a 3D film (for which D23 Expo-goers were treated to a sneak peek) and reported ‘multiple destinations’ for the Star Tours Travel Agency. Initial rumors had it closing post-Star Wars Weekends in 2010 and pre-Star Wars Weekends in 2011. Our source gives us a scheduled re-opening date of May 20, so that’s cutting it pretty close!

Our source also informs us of an earlier and much shorter refurb, also at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, for Toy Story Mania which is scheduled to close on August 15 and re-open on September 5
.

I'm kind of upset about Star Tours!!! I love that ride!!!!

:scared1: Jace is going to be SOOOO dissapointed! We're going to have to be SURE to get to JTA at rope drop!
 
OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!! I JUST BOOKED OUR AIRLINE TICKETS!!!!
:dance3: :yay: :dance3: :yay: :dance3: :yay:

I was able to get round trip tickets for the three of us for a total of $581.40!! It was $193 per person so I am pretty psyched!! The only thing I don't like about the flight is on the return flight we don't land in Portland until 10:30pm. That's real late for one of our family members to pick us up. Oh well, I will worry about it later! They are booked!! That's all that matters!! So, we are flying AirTran and I got the flights off of Priceline. Can I get a Woo Hoo???!! Oh, and Hope, I can't really say that I came in under budget because I really had no idea what it was going to be. I could lie and say well I budgeted $725 and came in at $581, right???? That way I can be in the Hope club!!! :rotfl:

I FINALLY watched the Princess and the Frog last night! Oh, we both loved it. Now I know what others meant by this is a good old fashioned Disney movie. I definitely recommend it!!


 
ok, phew....I can breathe now!!! I got an error message stating the DisBoards were going to be down for 2 HOURS for maintenance!!! But I'm on now.....ok, I'm breathing again....I just couldn't imagine gong 2 hours without the disboards......:lmao:
 
:cool1: for booking flights! :cool1: Can you take a taxi back to the house?

oh goodness, well I guess I will be marking off Star Tours (luckily, for us, I don't think anyone will be terribly heart broken) and I sure hope TSM opens back up in time for my trip a week later. :eek:

:banana::banana::banana: Woohoo for booking flights!! I somehow completely missed this yesterday. :confused3

Uh, you mean there are people who haven't compulsively itemized a budget so that it includes everything from airport parking to missed wages? :eek: :rolleyes1

Well, you and I both know that anyone who doesn't compulsively itemize is just WRONG!!! Ok, so I didn't--- I admit it. Boy, I don't even know what the prices are for airport parking!! I guess I'll have to look at that when I go pick up my Mom from the airport on Sunday!!

Anyways, I keep looking and looking at my flight itinerary, like looking at it is going to make it come any faster!!! I'm so silly!!! Did I forget that I have a wedding to plan, too?????

Man, I hope I get my ADRs finished before the madness starts!!!
 
I’m just really sensitive today. Victoria is sick again, and I’m not sure if it’s another UTI or not. :sick: She’s home with my mother today. She didn't even come to the airport yesterday to pick up my Mom who returned from Florida. Peter stayed with her and I drove the hour long trip by myself. Not great fun, but oh well. On Friday I got the results of her abdomen x-ray. Good new is that they didn’t see any blockage in her stomach, but they did notice a degree of scoliosis that I have to follow up with her PCP with. So, I have an appointment today with her. I’m leaving work at 1:45pm for the day as her dr’s is 1/2 hour from here. Now I know most people have a degree of curvature in their spines, but it just concerns me that it was enough of an issue for them to bring it up. You all know how sick Victoria has been in the past, so I just keep thinking “here we go again……” Good thing is they can check for the UTI while we are there.

Also, my TA states she can only do my ADR's on the 180th day of each day of my trip, meaning she states she cannot do anything past Tues, September 28th. Now, it didn't sound right to me, so I asked Disney Diva Karen who verified MY thinking of you can do the entire trip's ADR's on your 180th day. I have an email into the TA asking about this. Just another little stressful irritant I do not need!!! :scared1:

Good news is that here in Maine it will be getting up into the 70's by the end of the week. Oh yeah!!!! :yay:
 
I'm guessing since you have a TA, you have no idea what your confirmation number is? If you have it, you could get on the computer and make all your ADR's right NOW! I hope she emails you back soon!
 

Hi All!!! Well, after reminding my TA that she COULD make all my ADR's at one time, she did it for me and I got all the ones I wanted withing 15 minutes of the times I wanted. I'm soooo excited!!! :banana: I was so disappointed that they haven't announced Free Dining, but there's still hope. Either way, I'm going and I already have it budgeted, so we'll be ok. I have 2 m&m tubes of quarters/pennies for the penny press machines so I think that should be enough. We are just going to use the autograph book from our last trip as there are so many pages left, so I won't have to buy another one. I'm also going to use that for the passport stamps, too as I'll be taking it apart to put in the scrapbook anyways.

As for Victoria, she did go back to school today. We did go to the doctor's on Monday and he did a urine culture, but we won't have the results until probably tomorrow. I'm now thinking that she doesn't have a UTI because my baby started her period!! OMG!!! My baby!!! I believe the stomach pain she was having was due to that lovely event. We have talked about this life change many many times, so she's not freaked out, but she doesn't like it very much. Hey, welcome to our club, right ladies?? :cool1: We are being referred to the pediatric orthopeodic for her scoliosis. I'm waiting to hear about when the appointment will be. That concerns me but like Peter says, we will do whatever we have to for her health.

So, are all my East Coast friends sick of this rain yet??? I think we are going on day number 5 now of downpours!! :scared1: But, they are forecasting sunny and warmer weather tomorrow so we will see. And our Easter Sunday will be sunny and 70!! I can remember Easter egg hunts not too long ago in the snow. Sure makes it hard to wear pretty Easter dresses, doesn't it? I still have to get a basket together for Victoria and Peter.

We had a little excitement this week. The new hamster, Gucci, escaped from her cage on Monday night and we couldn't find her. Finally last night I pulled the refridgerator and there she was, all curled up. Poor thing!!! The dog must have chased her there and tormented her. Apparently she had taken off one of the stoppers where you can connect a tube and that's how she escaped. I tell you, never a dull moment at my house!!!
