Hi katie!!

Just wanted to let u know... I'm home safe and sound. I chose not to take one of those new fangled convertible planes that Southwest was flying last week I had enough drama flying down between tornadoes... then my lugage decided to get its party on... and didn't get off in Orlando, but went to New Orleans! It had fun though... cause when it finally caught up to me... a little bottle of mouthwash broke... and most of my clothes were a mess.... they stained and are ruined

But otherwise... it was a lovely and relaxing trip. It was a C style trip... slept in... drank champagne and fruity frozen concotions... oogled the waiters. I feel like a new woman!

I took about 2500 pics... and that was with leaving my camera in the room twice!

I have my Flower and Garden pics uploaded... if anyone wants to browse!

I'm not doing a TR... not much to talk about. But I'll let you know as I upload photos! I got some really good ones this trip

Hi Katie!!!! Hope you are well too!

Paula - Sounds like you had an awesome trip! I'm excited to see all of your pictures! And I'm glad you got there and back safely! That really sucks about your luggage, however, I've always wanted to go to New Orleans too.. Please tell me the airline is taking care of it for you!

Hope everyone else is doing well too! Not much happening around here...work, going to see family in the USA next weekend and then Easter....but all of my ADRs are made for the trip in September! Now I just have to book....

 

[ILuvCrush]

Woohoo.... that much closer to the next trip lol!

Yep! We are leaving the day after school gets out - well, the day after our teacher work day, school ends a couple days earlier. Despite his claims to not be a Disney fan, Greg couldn't stand the idea of the boys and I going without him.

15 nights at POP, dining plan, 10 day tix with waterpark add on!!! Once I finish my TR from last year I may do a brief PTR just to share ADR's and other plans

If I would have known u guys were planning it before I booked... I would have came then! You are all gonna have a blast!

BTW teachers..... spend the $15 and do the Behind the Seeds tour.... it was fabulous! AND u can take pictures anywhere!!

Whoa Whoa Whoa!! 15 nights!!! FIFTEEN?! When did I miss this change in plans!!?? That is amazing! And I think Greg just loves spending time with his family...and probably Disney a little!

 

[jenjolt]

She had to do 15 nights it would be the only way I could finally meet her LOL!!!!!!

I'm going for like 14 nights I believe...but it is going to have some variety thrown in there...I'll head down to Vero beach for a few days and then back to Disney...really looking forward to it all!!! WOOT WOOT!!! Especially meeting Katie!!

Yes yes, that's right! Katie and I did miss each other by one day last spring!

I'm jealous of all of your long trips....I need more holidays!

Come join us P!! I would like to do the tour one day, not sure it will be this trip. Last year I promised my parents that if they ever return to disney, I would buy them tickets. They would both love it I'm sure!

Whoa Whoa Whoa!! 15 nights!!! FIFTEEN?! When did I miss this change in plans!!?? That is amazing! And I think Greg just loves spending time with his family...and probably Disney a little!

Yep FIFTEEN nights And yes, you are right about Greg. He knew that we would go with or without him. He actually seems to be looking forward to it, we're planning a much more laid back type of trip anticipating the heat and summer crowds.

He immediately started talking about a 10 day trip because of the ticket pricing. Then when he found out we could get free dining, we talked about an 11 or 12 day trip to have a couple down days. Then when pricing plane tix, we found the cheapest was 15 nights and we added the water parks!

[ILuvCrush]

What are your dates??? I DO have that brand new SW voucher burning a hole in my pocket... just sayin....



Anyone interested in DisneyLand Calif in oh.... Jan/Feb/March-ish???
My AP for WDW expires in Sept. So I'm considering doing my winter trip to DL instead for a change. I've never been there, and have been wanting to go.

Hi gnomies!

Hope you all are doing well!

Paula - thanks for sharing your F&G pics. I can't wait to see it in person.

Katie - so super excited about your upcoming mega trip!

Stacy - are you booked for Sept? I think you said you made your ADRs... where are you eating?

Hope the rest of the gnomies are also doing well!

I'm off to the World in ~ 2 weeks so if anyone needs me to do any research, send postcards or make any purchases, let me know!

Also, just have to share with a group who "gets it"... I was able to get an ADR at the Chef's Table at Victoria and Albert's for Oct!

Again, hope you're all doing well. I haven't been around much lately but think of you often and miss you!
