I heard a funny joke too, but it's not a 'Yo Mama' joke.

What do you get when you cross a brown chicken and a brown cow?

I can't sleep.

Thank you so much everyone for the well wishes. Let's hope it works! She's sound asleep for now.

I'm not going to worry about it anymore. That won't change anything. It is what it is. All I can do is make the best out of whatever happens, right?


Lisa, good luck tomorrow. I don't blame you for being nervous, but you're fighting for something you believe in and you are in the right, so I will be sending positive thoughts your way and hoping it goes good for you.

January, how is Maddie doing now?

 

[DangerMouse]

Beth, I hope your dd is feeling better today and that it's a short tummy bug for her. Inevitably, one of us gets sick the week before we leave for DLR. I usually just plan for it and am happy to have it out of the way before we leave. I hope this is the case for you guys as well!

You ladies were chatty today! I like the door decorating idea and think Lilo & Stitch sounds fun too!

I can't sleep (note the time). Suffering with insomnia b/c dh has decided to buy himself a classic Mini Cooper from Tacoma, WA. I made flight reservations for him to fly up to SEA-TAC on the 14th to pick it up and drive it back.

He never, ever does things like this. He's the most practical, stable, almost boring guy (in a good way), and a classic Mini is not the most practical car for a family of 5 -- did I mention no A/C??? But it's been an obsession for him for the last year or so that he's been researching them. I really want to support him because he works so hard and deserves it. He never buys anything for himself and has supported my Disney obsession for years now.

I'm most nervous about him driving back to AZ in a completely unfamiliar, tiny car with right hand steering on CA freeways.

He contacted the AZ Mini Club president and we drove out to their house last night to look at their peronal classic Mini collection (26 of them!!!) and to get a brief education. They took us for a drive in a couple different ones. OMgoodness, my dh is even more excited now (if that's possible).

Well, thanks for reading my middle of the night ramblings. . . I think I'll poke around on the Dis some more until my eyes get tired and I can

Back on topic, I may have some friends who want to come this time! And you all thought I didn't have any friends!

Of course they knew you had friends -- Just Ellen and ME!!

What? You mean there are others? I might be askin you to be a roomie, so don't bring too many of those "others" ok?

Hi everyone. Just had to share that I haven't been around these boards much cuz I am in the mad stages of planning my DW trip. I am at the ADR stage and since I am here in lovely CA that means getting up at 4 to call to make that 7 a.m. time. Gotta love it. I am stoked to say though that today was my LAST day of 7 that I had to call to get my last ADR. And YES I have had to call EVERY flippin day because I am going Thanksgiving week and didn't DARE wait till after the fact.

I am happy to say though that it paid off and we got EVERY restaurant that we wanted including CRT! I am still waiting for them to release the Candlelight Procession packages but that is the last thing.

The only thing that sucks though is the last two times we went in 02 and 05, part of the reason we were able to go was getting great deals on cheap airfare. We were always able to find 199 rt. Well NOT so this time. We always bought almost a year in advance but this time when we looked all the reg airlines were MUCH more expensive so someone suggested waiting for Southwest. I was not thrilled about flying a no frills ariline for a 6 hour flight but if it was cheap I would do it. So I have been agonizing waiting and waiting for them to release Nov fares and then June 1 hit and STILL no flippin fares. Then mom called and they said not till June 26. AHAHAHAHHAHA!

So she found a 330 rt on Delta and said we should probably just take it. The fares for the same type of days in Oct have shot way up and she thought even with getting RIGHT when they release on Southwest, with the gas prices and being Thanksgiving week, she thinks their won't be any deals. So we bit the bullet and I almost had a stroke. For just the 4 of us it cost me almost 1500 bucks. Last time it only cost 800. That is almost double and it MAJORLY cut into my food budget.

Needless to say it doesn't leave me much budget for our ladies trip and probably we will not be doing much with you all except a meal here and there and I hope to god I can afford the plane ticket down there in March! LOL

I did already book our rooms at least.

Anyway I just wanted to share though that I at least got all my ADRS and that is a load off and as crazy as the prices are at least the plane tickets are bought and if they get any worse at least I don't have to think about it any more.

Beth I am sorry your little one is sick. I know how much that sucks. I hope she feels better soon.

Now that I am done maybe I will see you all on the boards more. I have been reading your posts I just don't know everyone like you all do so don't always feel like I can contribute.

I look forward to meeting you all though in march!

 

[nodoubt51]

Beth,
I hope your dd feels better today.

I wanted to mention that I am not on the list.
I am on the VIP list though
Can you add me to the other tours as a maybe?
I'll give a more definite when it is necessary.

Thanks.

That works for me! Are you a 2-person room person or a 4-person room person? Does that even make sense?

Hey, check your PM, I sent you one yesterday.

I'm all about saving money . . . so I could easily be a 4-person room person this time. (That is -- if I go. I keep tawkin as if I'm actually going for sure!) I guess I'm just getting caught up in the fun of planning and assuming it will all work out.

Zoiks!



Hubby wants a SmartCar. Hubby is far too big to be in a SmartCar, and it's not appropriate for a family of 3! And yet he wants one. Could order one at the Mercedes dealership just outside of Tacoma, but it's just NOT going to happen, LOL.

 

[audrabolster]

My wife and I really want to go this year. We are local, and since we have dogs, we probably won't be staying on site, but will drive in everyday since we have AP's.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Good Morning all! I'm planning to make my reservation today!

 

[grizbuzz]

One of my twins, Hannah, threw up tonight. I was afraid of this. Every freakin time we are coming up on a big vacation, I always worry about someone getting sick.
I've been making everyone wash their hands right after school, and been cleaning daily with Lysol wipes and spray, so I don't know how it happened.

I thought maybe it was just something she ate, and she'd be fine, but when I felt her head she was really hot. Ugh, I am so bummed. Obviously because I don't want any of my kids to be sick ever, but especially now! We are all so looking forward to this vacation and the last thing we need is some kind of stomach flu making the rounds through the family.

(sigh) I'm so upset right now. I was trying to be so careful! Well, shoot. I guess all I can do now is wait and see what happens and hope for the best. I know it sounds selfish, but if we have to cancel because the family ends up getting sick, I am going to be so sad because we can't reschedule.

Oh well, sorry for being a downer. I'm going to go pray that she feels better, and then go sulk in bed in front of the tv. Night.

Ugh I feel for you. My son did that the night before we had to leave for our DL vacation last November. He did get better within 24 hours an no one else got it in the party...so hopefully will be same with you

Healthy wishes to you and your family!

 

[Jenn1116]

Gas prices are killing me. And I'm hearing they could reach $8/gal by August. Ugh.

Anyway, happy Monday!!!!

Beth, I hope all goes well for a healthy trip!

 

[julezdisney]

$8/gal? How are we supposed to function like that?!

Ugh.

Hope DD is better today, Beth!

Poor Hannah. I remember when I was little I used to always get sick the day before a Disneyland trip and also on my birthday, I guess the excitement was too much to handle for me.

I hope she feels better soon!

We always bought almost a year in advance but this time when we looked all the reg airlines were MUCH more expensive so someone suggested waiting for Southwest. I was not thrilled about flying a no frills ariline for a 6 hour flight but if it was cheap I would do it.

Eww, I had to do Southwest from Sacramento to Maryland. NEVER again will I put myself through that. Congratulations on getting all your reservations taken care of!
I don't know anyone on these boards either, but I still talk, even though I should probably just be quiet and hide in the corner

 

[Stacerita]

$8/gall????? OMG! I just spent $4/gal. I was like I couldn't believe it. Thanks goodness I only work 10 mile from home and I don't drive too much otherwise. Might be keeping summer plans closer to home though.

Beth....How's your DD? Still sick? There is a quick bug going around. Everyone at work is getting it. Stomach flu stuff for 24+ then all good. Hopefully she gets over it quick. But like you said, it is what it is.

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

Gas is $4.29 by my house.

 

[Jenn1116]

I was looking into getting a bus pass but the bus ride home wouldn't get me to DD's daycare until 7:15 but they close at 6. So I'll just have to keep fillin' 'er up!!!

 

[wendylady36]

Around my work the cheapest gas is $4.23 for unleaded and the most expensive is $4.41 for unleaded

I use a tank of gas a week on my commute alone. I'm broke enough as it is. Gas prices are sending me into the poor house.
