Does anyne here have a nintendo ds for their kids? if so, do you like, do they?

Yes, my dd has one and really likes it (I do too!) She likes to play the games where she takes care of pets. She has one with dogs and another with cats. I like to play the brain age games - we have a couple of those as well.

I take it they do "expire". I'll have to check into the special things and see if we want to spend the money or not.

The photopass expires 30 or 45 days after getting it and then they expire again 30-45days after entering them into the site.

The special things they can add to the photo is someone holding Tinkerbell(MK), someone cradling Simba(AK), Stitch coming up out of the ground (MGM), and if you can catch the photopass guy at the HM early in the mornings (or during MNSSHP) the ghost on the carriage in front of the HM.

I think there might be a few other things they can do. You just have to ask them.

My DD has those games as well and really likes them. I've also got a DS that I rarely use but I have the brain games for them. DD gets a lot of mileage out of hers and it was definitely worth the cost.

How is the weekend going for everyone?? My dd had her first soccer game of the season this morning - and although we tied 1-1 with the other team at least it was dd that scored that one goal.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday.

Hi all, just spent the afternoon shopping with the DC and DH. Usually we don't come out of Wal mart without spending 100's of $ , but we're on the Dis-budget.

I took clothes to the consignment store, and also cashed out my last drop off, ($21+ for WDW). I used coupons at the store and saved $4.50...I put it in the WDW fund. I also tossed all our change in the change jar, and since I'm in Canada, our $1 and $2 are coins, so that was over $7. WOO HOO!!!

Even DS4 is on board. He wanted to take his money to "maybe buy a toy" and I reminded him that he needed to save his money for WDW and he was OK with that. He looked at all the toys and did ask for one from Santa, but didn't kick up a fuss.

We have 2 months to go. I want to have all our spending money in cash and not use my CC while there.

Hope you are all having a great weekend

well, I caved. we bought the kids the new DS's at TRU. they have vsmiles, now I want them to sell them on ebay so they can buy more games.
I am already addicted to mario!!!

Julie-my kids play soccer, too. my DS has played for 3 years and today was dds 1st game. they love it!


I hope you are having a good weekend, everyone.

Hi All, My DS first soccer game is tomorow. Just picked up his costume for MNSSHP. He is going to be Peter Pan to DDs Tinkerbell. Less than 6 weeks for me, I can't wait.

We received our tickets today! It's getting closer.

My mom ordered her Disney rewards card and I think that is going to be our Christmas present. So we can use it for the MVMCP (or holiday party, whatever it is) tickets and the leftover for food in the parks.

I think the photopass sounds like a good deal so we'll likely do that.

It's all coming together nicely. I just need to sit down and plan out our park days.

BTW - No soccer for us, my little guy is into ice hockey!

 

[rainy~daze]

good morning!!

it looks like rain today, but is already very hot!

 

[julie2818]

I think it is going to be a nice day here, clear skies this morning, but already pretty hot.

Mcraw - where are you? We are all anxiously awaiting to hear about your trip and the stroller.

Sorry for the delay. I was unpacking and catching up on some sleep. Our trip was wonderful and the stroller was GREAT!!! It handled very well even with 2 sleeping kids. The storage underneath is very large and my husband and I could put our backpacks there instead of carrying them. I didnt use the extra sun shade but the rain cover came in helpful. It rained in the afternoon on 2 days but the kids were completely dry. The only issue with the stroller is that is too wide to fit through the gates at MK and AK. However, it went through fine at HS and Epcot. Not sure why there is a difference in gate sizes at the parks. I am so thrilled that I found this swap!!! We were planning on bringing 2 umbrella strollers prior and that would have been a huge pain. I hope everyone enjoys the stroller as much as we did!!

Hey, welcome home. Glad you had a nice trip!

Were you able to go through a handicap gate or something at MK and AK or did you have to fold up and go through? I'm glad the storage area is large, I looked at a different brand and it was tiny but this one looked large.

 

[mcraw]

well, the first time we folded it up and had the kids walk through. The 2nd time was on the way out and they were asleep so we lifted them over the gate in the stroller. I would not recommend that and I told my husband we would not do that again!!! So about 6 in the morning I woke up and remembered that the wheels come off with a push of a button. So that is what we did. We would go to the gate. I would go through the individual lane and scan my card and my daughters card. Then I would walk around to the stroller gate and push the button on the bottom of the stroller as my husband lifted the one side. He would push the kids through without 1 wheel and I would slide the wheel back in. It may seem like alot but it worked well for us and it only took about 10 seconds.

Okay, so first thing we should do is practice taking one wheel off, pushing it up some and putting it back on! I can do that!

we would need to fill in 12/18 thru 1/21 for it to work. i would hate to book dates with a month long gap in between, then have to worry where stroller will be and what to do with it. but, if the dates between there fill up, I will send you a pm to see if you are still interested.
