You witch!!!! You had me going there!! I'm so glad you can make it!!!

Now, do you have a costume yet??

 

[wendylady36]

Happy day. Probably a good thing you decided to go to work anyways.

OMG! I know! I would have felt really crappy if I didn't come in today! She probably wouldn't have told me that I could have the days off next week!

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

Substitute the "w" for a "b" and you'd be right!

I'm glad I can make it too!!!!!

I have no clue what to do for a costume! I put on the goldielocks one the other night and I'm just not sure I feel comfortable wearing it, even with leggings. Plus, I have no comfortable shoes to match it!

In my mind I was.


Stick some cat ears and a tail on and call it good. LOL
I keep going back and forth on a costume even after I said I wasn't going to wear one, and I finally decided I'll just get some devil horns or something and be done with it already.

Oh jeez, how creative of you...




I'll probably end up wearing my Goldielocks costume so I can pick up on all the 20 something single men that spend their free time at a trick-or-treat party in Disneyland on a Thursday night (actually, that sound like my kind of man!).

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

Awww, thanks so much!

...can you guess what finger I'm holding up right now?

What's the significance of the monkey in your signature? It's very cute! Where'd you get it?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE monkeys! Especially since Beth doesn't!

I found her and some other cuties here: Monkey!

They have some really great ones don't they!

 

[mommaU4]

Awww, thanks so much!

...can you guess what finger I'm holding up right now?

Your index finger because you think I'm #1?

Or your thumb to give me a big thumbs up because I am always right?

Hmmm...close, but not quite...

 

[wendylady36]

Ugh! I'm too excited to do anything at all! I'm exhausted, but I can't sleep knowing that NEXT week I will be at Disneyland! I almost started packing, but decided I should wait at least until this weekend to do that.

I still don't know about my money situation. I know I definitely have enough for the hotel, gas and for my Happiest Haunts tour ticket...but other then that So that has be just the slightest bit scared. I don't need a lot of food, but two meals a day would be nice. Maybe I'll stock up on carrots and apples at MTOTP

So, since there's not much I can do right now, I will share photos from my past Disneyland trips.

Also, I want to put together a play list for my trip down there. I want Disney songs to enjoy since I will be in the car for at least 12 hours round trip. Right now I have "Remember" fireworks show music (I love that they incorporate all the great Disneyland songs into it!), I have the song from the parade too (the one that goes "welcome to our family time...) and I think that's it as far as Disney songs go. Once upon a time I had about 3GB dedicated to Disney music, but I overreacted to something and deleted all my music (don't ask ). So if you have any suggestions on what I should download, tell me! I'm open to any and all suggestions! I know I want to get the Haunted Mansion song and I have the HMH one on my phone, so I'll try and get that onto my iPod. Tell me what to listen to!

Disneyland Past:

Don't you hate when you can't find a good spot to park:

Then you get into the park and there's people EVERYWHERE!

You don't even know how you'll make it down Main St and still keep all the members of your party together:

And the line for Splash Mountain goes all the way to the exit of the Haunted Mansion:

And then your kids are screaming to go on IASW, but you know the line is going to be LONG:

Then you head to Star Tours, the one ride you want to do, and the line is a 60+ min wait:

Then someone wants to get their picture taken with Mickey, but you can't get a good shot, because there's 1,000 kids swarming him:

Yeah, those days are the worst.

I am so happy for you!

I first screamed "NOOOOOOOOOO"

But that is just like the best news!

 

[JaneJetson]

Oh my god! that bunny! I had a bunch of those when I was little. I called it my bun-bun. It would end up really old and gross so my parents would throw it away and buy a new one for me...haha.

 

[travelmel]

OMG I love those pics! Thank you for posting them! I'm a sucker for that stuff!

For your music list: I'll chime in with the Zippity Do Da song

Thank you! I'm pretty excited too!!!!!! I can't wait! In one week I can say that I will be in Disneyland tomorrow!!!!!

My bunny was my security blanket! Mine was yellow and I loved it more then anything. That's my sister with hers in that photo, I'm the one in the stroller, doesn't look like my bunny is there, but I think the mouse had all my attention anyways!

Great choice! I'll put that on my list of songs to get right now. That will be good for when I'm pumped up on Red Bull and licorice! Dance party in my car!

I'm so glad I found the following pictures, I was beginning to think that I had made this ride up:

It's hard to think of Fantasmic not being there once upon a time:

That's all for now. Time to go to work!
