Aww I'm sorry so many things are shut down! I hope you still get to have a great trip out of it at least!

 

[YukiPhnx]

It is a great chance for a nap...... There are some padded benches.........

Oooh, that sounds really nice. I'll have to try it during Peepfest.

Aww I'm sorry so many things are shut down! I hope you still get to have a great trip out of it at least!

I know, what a bummer right? I know I'll still have a great time cause I'm at DISNEY WORLD. And I'll be back soon anyways.

The kicker is, things are shut down right at the week I'm there! I mean, if it was longer than that or was shut down long before I got there, it wouldn't be so bad. It's just pretty much wrapped around the only days I'll be there. What a booger, right?

true true! But at least I know you guys will still have tons of fun! Thank you so much for the postcard~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so with you about all the closures - it is such a pain! But I am so looking forward to our meet on Aug 20! That is going to be good fun!

Oh, you got the postcard! Hope it got there in a good condition. I'm never sure how postcards will do in the mail.

Yes! That meet is going to be so fun! Can't wait to finally meet you!

 

[TokyoDina]

It's in great condition. I just hasn't made it to my work yet! Haha.

59 days!

I can't believe I didn't even know about GMR on my last trip. Went right over my head! I'm really looking forward to those


Ya with the muppets.....I don't even know who everyone is. Other than kermit and Ms.Piggy (LOVE her). So I'm not sure if I would be able to enjoy it as much? Do you think?

Deffinetly go on GMR, it's a lot of fun (at least from a teenagers point of view, but I'mm 99% positive my parents liked it too). Either way its very interesting and has some great movies (Forrest Gump, my favorite!!!)

Don't worry about not knowing the muppets. I only knew about five of them but the effects and storyline of the show make it trivial to know who they all are.

Oooh, they've got a Forrest Gump scene? Andrew loves that movie!

And I've put the muppets in my itinerary. Gonna give it a shot.

Joining in!

to my PTR! Great to have you joining in!

Unfortunetly, not in the actual ride but they have a bunch of clips from the movie at the end which was enough to get me really excited!

If he likes the movie, you guys will have to check out Planet Hollywood in DTD!!!! Outside in the water next to the restaraunt they have "Jenny" the real shrimping boat used in the movie. I FREAKED when I saw it!!!

Wow, really? The real one? Andrew's gonna love that!! Gotta keep that in mind.

Chapter 26. My trip loot. Sorta...

Soo, I've been collecting things here and there in prep for my trip. In less than two months!!! I know Kelly has been counting down the days, so she can tell you how many days are left until we're FINALLY AT DISNEY!!!!!!!!

Ok, back to my point. I've been too lazy to make this post....I still have some pictures I wanted to take but uh....you'll see them in my TR anyways....

But just last week, when I went to watch TS3, I went to the Home Depot nearby and GUESS what I picked up.

...

...

...

...

...

Haha, as if any of you need to guess. Cause you already KNOW! These wonderful things.

YAAAY! I got 6, which will make 3 tags. 2 for me, and one for Andrew. His is gonna say 'Yuki's DBF Andrew' Aren't I nice?

Well, after I took that, I noticed something else that you guys might be interested in. It's my brand new wallet!

It's not your regular wallet. It's shaped like a little box, and has 3 zippers. Over the last couple of years, I've gotten used to using a small change purses as I actual wallet. It's just easier to have all my cards in there, with my cash all folded up and change in there too. A regular wallet was too bulky for me.

But then I got this....I'm trying to keep it slim without putting too many cards in. See, I love a good deal, which is why I have a membership to almost all my favourite places, so I can always get that 10% off when I shop there. Andrew calls me the Chinese discount Triad, cause I also have a lot of connections to get me stuff cheap.

Alright, back to my loot. I got this stuff in Jordy's favourite aisle. Wanna take a guess there?

The TRAVEL AISLE. Honestly, one of my favourite places too. Not only because it's made for traveling, but I just LOVE miniature things!

Here's 2 toothbrush holders. I opened one of them to let you see how it...opens.

It's great. I already use it when I visit Andrew's or have to take the obligatory visit home once a month

I picked these up last year, at my student centre. They were just on the counter, for everyone to take. So I grabbed 3 of them. One for my dad to use when he goes fishing, and 2 for me and Andrew. I plan to use them to keep my cards and money in, since I won't be bringing my wallet anyways.

Front:

Back:

It has one clear pocket in the front, then a zipped pocket in the middle, and finally that velcro-ed pocket in the back.

The rest is just a bit of other travel size stuff. Pretty self-explanatory.

BY THE BY, can anyone recommend a really good antiperspirant? I've been trying the travel size one out, and it's not that great. I hear Secret's Clinical strength is good, but don't want to invest in it just yet. I'm not a heavy sweater, but the antipersiperant I've using don't seem very effective. TIA!

Can you believe this little beauty was on sale for $4??? That's such a great price! We plan to keep this in Andrew's bag at all times, in the worst case scenario of us losing our camera, or the not-so-good scenario of us leaving it back in our room, we'll always have a backup! On my last trip, we left our camera back in our room, and so had to buy a disposable at one of the stores. So pricey! So we're being safe this time.

Btw, that's my new laptop, Larry in the background. I Windows 7

Last but not least, something I didn't really buy for THIS trip, but have from my last trip. I'll definitely be bringing this along.

We got these on our AK day, which was our 2nd park. They were selling them 2 for $14! That seemed like a good deal, so we bought them. Oh my gosh, they were WONDERFUL. Especially waiting in line for FotLK. You could tell people around us watched on in envy. My family now uses these whenever we go to a theme park or the beach.

It also fit perfectly in the bag I was carrying last time. I don't think it'll carry so well in my HEYS TRAVEL MATE, so it'll most likely be in Andrew's bag.

Yes folks, I got me a Travel Mate. Ohhhh, it's so wonderful! I need to put up a post just for this bag. I LOVE it. I couldn't get a Baggallini, but this is the next best thing. I named her Shelly.

did I hear travel aisle?

travel aisle!

The travel aisle at my nearest drug store is just GETTING BIGGER. I swear, every time I go, I spend more and more time there. My nearest Walmart really needs to expand. They've only got a couple of shelves.

I must admit I went down the travel aisle at Target last night....

Hm .......... reminds me - with only 7 more weeks to go I guess it is time for me too, to hit the travel aisle!

I got a Hey's Travelmate too! It was my birthday present to myself. I love bags and couldn't pass this one up. What color did you get? I got the lovely lavendar one. Can't wait to use it. I was going to get the black one so DH and DS would carry it too but I decided to get what I wanted.

Only 7 short weeks and we'll be on our way to Disney World, looking forward to meeting everyone on the 20th.

I got the Navy blue one, JUST so Andrew would be ok with carrying it, because I know he will be at some points in our trip, haha.

I really liked the rose coloured one though. Don't you just love it? I LOVE bags too. And when I find the Baggallini I want being sold in a Canadian store, I'm definitely buying it.

Oooh, the lavendar one looked really nice too.

I love that I can wear this bag in so many ways, and on both shoulders. I've already started carrying it around, and Andrew actually really likes carrying it too! So that's a plus for me.

YUKI!! Omg I love that little Mickey wallet! I swear I keep moving further and further away from pretty designer wallets and bags and all I want is stuff with the Mouse's face all over it!!

THE TRAVEL AISLE... omg. Y'all have no idea. There's an entire travel store not far from here in Brooklyn, NY. I just LIVE for it! I want to buy everything in there. I usually try not to go in there unless i'm about to go somewhere because it's really hard to control my spending there LOL!

CAPRIA!! I love my wallet too. My mom bought it for me from Hong Kong. She knows how much I love Disney. I my mommy.

OH MY GOSH, a whole TRAVEL STORE????? It must be just HEAVEN. Whenever I'm in any store that sells travel stuff, I always take a long time to look at EVERYTHING. Like how I just discovered this large CAA (Canadian equiv. of AAA) store that sold all this REALLY COOL STUFF. Like, a small sheet of paper that turns into shampoo when you lather it!! They have that for soap and conditioner too. I had no idea this stuff even existed!

Poor Andrew was just sitting around, telling the travel agents, "No, we're not looking to book a trip. We're just LOOKING."
