Going back to where it all started- Sept. 2010 PTR

[princess&her4princes]

I got a couple different pairs - Newports & St. Barts Leather, both are equally comfortable


I love your new shoes, the bling is too cute! I think you should be able to wear them with just about any color.

Metallics are neutral! You can wear them with any other metallic or any color! And those are cute!! I really like them - and 50% off? Hello!



That is TOO cute! Henry has "fast" shoes too.


SIX DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks girls! I think the more I've listened to all of you, I love my new princess fit flops!!

I personally loooove my fit flops! I have two pairs. One I bought at Macy's last year and the second pair I found on Amazon.com on sale for about $25. Both of my pairs are neutral colors so they go with everything. So, they are 50% off at Macy's?? Last time I looked they had them over in the hat/scarf area...weird. Are they still there or do they have a display in the shoe section now? I might have to go buy another pair. Funny thing is...I almost bought the exact pair that you did a few months ago. I love the sparkly ones!

I am headed to Target this weekend to finish up getting some last minute stuff. I wanted to get my family some little plastic pouches or lanyards for their park passes. Any ideas where I can get them locally?

Oh, were you going to try to catch the opening ceremony at MK on Thurs before your CM ADR? I will be MK for EMH that day. Let me know, I would love to meet.

They were in the shoe dept. on a rack but never picked through for sure! And yes, 50% off!! Love them!!

About the lanyards, what about Michaels? Or maybe even Dick's sporting goods in the running section for ID's? I haven't seen them specifially, just off the top of my head.

I'm not sure about Thursday morning! Do you have a cell? I can send you my # and you can text me, if you want, we are out at HDDR the night before...just wondering if I can get all 10 of us out in time? Are you in MK all day?? I'd love to meet you, too!!

Good luck packing!!!

I am feeling exactly the same way!!! I just need to stop, take a moment, and realize this is a Disney vacation...not a life or death situation. The majority of the things on my list are small little things that I can't really take care of until Monday (gotta hold off on returning the bottles and cans!!).

As you already know, we're going to Syracuse this weekend for an Irish dancing competition. At least that will take my mind off of my list for awhile. Wish I was doing something fun and fall-like. Looks like we won't be able to go apple picking until the 2nd weekend in October. That's ok, because that's when Empire apples will be ready (our favorite)!

 

[princess&her4princes]

Totally understand about dropping them off for the first real day alone!! I'm glad Cole did so well, and you as well! It's all about staying busy. I too, am looking forward to errands alone!

So unreal to me that he's old enough to go, you know? How is David adjusting? And Mommy? Cole did great yesterday, too!! YAY!!!!

David has these same shoes... he loves them!! He has the best time jumping up and down to see them light up, and shows them to everyone he meets!

They are so cute and love how they light up, too!!! Cole revs up like he's a race car and takes off!!

I can't believe how close your trip is! I am really starting to get panicked with everything left to do- only 8 days left for us!

I know!! You're so close, too!!!!

Ooooh I love your sparkly new fit flops!! They will totally go with everything ! I have a pair in black and they are super comfortable although I always seem to grab something else to wear!!
You are so close!!! Just days away!!! I just ordered my MNSSHP tickets today I have many, many, many trips left to Target!!!

Tracy

Thanks Tracy! They are fun and as the only girl in the house, it's nice to have something sparkly!!!

Hi Kristen, I don't think I'll be posting on your page again before I leave.
I can't imagine how excited your boys are getting!
I just wanted to tell you to have a safe, great trip!

5 days for you!!!!!

Thanks Amy, by now you must be almost ready to go!! Have a great time, see you on the flip side!! thanks for sharing with me!!!

That's exactly what I'm thinking, Meghan! It's DISNEY....it's suppose to be fun and I'm freaking! LOL!! But I always do this to myself, too.....deep breath in and out......... Maybe last minute is key and we're just worrying too much because we have had too much time to think about it!

I hope you have a nice time away in Syracuse this weekend, get your mind off of things a bit and come Monday I'm sure we'll both be freaking out together!!!!

I have been a big ball of stress and I just need to calm down. Today has been good and I haven't freaked out too much. Tony faxed in our requests today, so that took a huge load off my back. You're exactly right...we've had too much time to think things over, go over plans, add to our lists, etc.

I don't know how I'm going to work on Monday. I'll be freaking out inside!!! You leave a day before me, so I'm sure you'll be even worse than me on Monday.

I haven't done that yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may want to shut your phone off on Monday or the texts will be flying!

Hahaha...I'll be working from 10-2pm on Monday. I can catch up with all of your texts on my break.

I've read to fax in room requests 3-5 days before arrival day. Well, we don't have access to a fax machine on Sat & Sun, so today was the day for us.

Thanks girls! I think the more I've listened to all of you, I love my new princess fit flops!!

They are pretty awesome!

They were in the shoe dept. on a rack but never picked through for sure! And yes, 50% off!! Love them!!

I am gonna go look for a pair for my mom tomorrow...

About the lanyards, what about Michaels? Or maybe even Dick's sporting goods in the running section for ID's? I haven't seen them specifially, just off the top of my head.

More stops to make after Target and Macy's

I'm not sure about Thursday morning! Do you have a cell? I can send you my # and you can text me, if you want, we are out at HDDR the night before...just wondering if I can get all 10 of us out in time? Are you in MK all day?? I'd love to meet you, too!!

I will PM my #. I am not sure how long we will be staying at MK. Most of my family is flying in later the night before from the West Coast so we will probably play it by ear and have to have a mid day break. My nephew is 2 1/2, so we don't want a melt down on the first day. Then we have a dinner ADR at OHana that night. I am trying to not be too commando.

Good luck packing!!!

You too! I am starting tomorrow and want to have everything done by Sunday so all I have to do Mon/Tues is go to work and then relax when I get home. We'll see if that happens.

 

[Tickanee]

So, I tried to send you a PM twice and my log says zero sent messages. Can you let me know if you got either one.

Thanks!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

What do you have planned for this weekend, anything fun and Fall like?

Actually...I was thinking I'd go to Disney World...

Have a MAGICAL time and please say hello if you see me and my crazy crew! Can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get back!!!!!

We're doing one of my very favorite things to do during this time of year. We're having a fire in the outside firepit and roasting hot dogs for dinner! We'll sit around and enjoy it and then make smores for dessert. Mmmmmm...

We did, thanks! I love seeing the kids just relax and be "kids" again, telling jokes and being silly. It warms a momma's heart!

I just updated my PTR with my "rolling" technique for anyone who wants to read it....complete with a picture tutorial!

 

[princess&her4princes]

I just have to say it............2 MORE SLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is our countdown!

The suitcases came out today, my living room is officially Disneyfied and there are piles everywhere!! ALL of my boys are just about packed, I'll work on myself tomorrow and the essentials, too. WOW....we're all most there!!

Trying out the ziploc packing method, loving it, all the boys outfits are organzied by day & park, so we can unpack and put them in the drawers ready for the week!

My Disney bin exploding!!

We've officially confused poor Cole, anytime we left to go someplace this weekend, he thinks we're going to Disney, when we get home, he says "But Mommy, we didn't go to Disney!!" It's hard to rationalize with a 3 year old....so we keep saying, just a couple more days! I can't wait to see his reaction on the airplane ride and when we finally get there (remind yourself, he was 17 mos. last time we went!)! He's just going to be mesmorized!! I hope he loves it, as much as I think he will!!!!

We had a great (SUPER BUSY!) weekend, the weather was just gorgeous here in MA, felt just like Fall! I think we'll be in shock next week, as Accuweather is showing 90+ all week long. We had a block party yesterday, today a birthday party, packing in between, along with lawn mowing, taking care of the beach stuff, one last time for the season, running into my office......it was a nuts! Another weekend.....gone!

I hope you all had enjoyable ones!

Will do my best to post some more in the next couple of days, I get to say....THIS WEEK I"M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!!!
