Happy 21st Birthday! WDW, DCL and a Dis meet! *TR COMPLETE*

[tinkerbell87512]

How exciting, Cheryl!! Can you believe we're just over a month away? It's going to be so much fun meeting up with everyone. I have to remind myself that I've still never actually met any of you guys in person... but we've been planning for so long that it definitely feels as though I have!

I've been Dis'ing all morning and watching the travel channel (there showing a ton of Disney shows). I can't tell you how excited I am.

We are going to have such a blast at the meets! Just cross your fingers for no rain. We had tons of rain last year at MNSSHP and it kind of screwed up our meet and plans a bit.

It really does feel like we have been planning forever. It is all worth it in the end though!

 

[tinkerbell87512]

WOW~ You have your ME tags! Yipee! I'll dance some too for you....

Wohooo!!! Thanks for joining in on the dance!

The weather was gorgeous last year around the time we're going. The October meet was at the tail end of hurricane season, so you guys got pelted with some pretty unpleasant weather. But yeah, I'm definitely crossing my fingers!!

I know. Ugh it was pretty bad. That was the only night of my whole trip where it was crazy rain like that. If we ever have another meet in the fall we will have to plan something like this year where theres one inside and another night outside.

Am I the only one who watches these shows every time they are on?

YAY, you got your ME stuff!! So close now!!

Haha nope not at all! I love those shows. Make sure to watch every Friday at 9 theres new ones for the next 4 weeks with Samantha Brown. The travel channel is calling this the "Season of Disney"


I couldn't believe I got my ME stuff yesterday. I was just writing about it in the morning and later on it had arrived!

Oh, SWEET! I already have a recording set for the one on Friday, but I did not know that there were more new ones! Now I'm excited. hehe

Yea this week it's "Samantha Brown's favorites" then there is "Disney on a dime" then I forget what the other 2 are.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Lets see, lets see...37 days and counting!!

My Disney visa rewards points card came today! Like free money to shop at Disney with. You can't beat that. Oh and I was also doing a little online shopping yesterday. I ended up buying some cute tops and some shorts for the cruise from Old Navy! As soon as they come I will take pictures so you can see. I'm crossing my fingers they all fit. I've never had a problem with Old Navy's sizing so hopefully they will all work out.

In other news I put in for my vacation at work today! I was just going to take Wed the 14th to Sunday the 25 (I have weekends off anyway). Then I started thinking about it Mon the 12th is my b-day (so thats a paid day off) then it would be kind of dumb to just go back and work for one day so I ended up taking that off too. Nothing better than 2 weeks vacation!

It's so cute at work there is a woman in her mid 60's and she is going on a cruise May 3-10 (so right before me) and we are always talking about our vacations. We compare plans (even though theres nothing to really compare hers is a 8 day, Mexican, in a suite). But we have fun talking about it everyday. Every morning she says how many days she has left and I'm quick to reply how many I have left. Haha can you tell I really am excited!?

Anyway I just wanted to check in and say hi!! As it's getting closer and things are falling into place you will be seeing a lot of updates from me!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!!

This trip sounds like it's going to be awesome! Can't wait to read more!

 

[Hillary12.8.07]

aaaggh so soon!! so exciting!!

Love the Disney rewards, I always call it "free Disney money", and DH quickly corrects me that it's not actually free, but sure does feel like it!!!

I saw the comments above, I cannot WAIT for Friday night to see the new Samantha Brown show. I watched the ones this weekend like 3 times, its ridiculous. I need my fix!!!

I cannot WAIT to hear about your trip, I'm so looking forward to your TR!!! It's going to be here before you know it!!

The trip should be fun, thanks for coming along for the ride!

Hey girl, long time no see!!! The way I see it for the rewards money is that if I'm going to buy something anyway why not put it on my DV and get the rewards. As long as you pay the card off it really is like free money.

I know, I couldn't believe when I saw that it was the "season of Disney"!!! What perfect timing. It's like the travel channel knew I was going on this vacation and had these shows to get me even more pumped. I think a good portion of the Dis members will be watching the travel channel a lot in the next few weeks.

I'm glad you are excited to read my TR, I'm excited to write it! Thanks for sticking with me.

Guess what came in the mail yesterday...

Getting closer now, only 38 more days!

So exciting! I remember jumping up and down when I got my bag tags in the mail! I can't wait for you to experience your first Disney Cruise and for us to talk all about it!

 

[DisneyFreak06]

Ok, so now I'm even more jealous! Not only do you get to go on a trip, you get to watch Disney on TV! (We don't have the travel channel) And the Disney Visa is not available in Canada!

Oh well, that's why I enjoy reading about your trip reports!

Hopefully soon my DCL packet will come. From what I get from the Dis they also have luggage tags. But I guess those are mailed at 3 weeks out. Oh well something else to look forward to.

Haha don't be jealous. Thats a bummer though that you dont have the travel channel or the Disney Visa. I could watch the travel channel all day, not just for the Disney shows! They always have some interesting show on about an exotic or something else. They always cause me to add another place to my "places to see before I die" list.

I cannot wait for Friday.

Thanks Lindsey for the info! I can't wait to catch the new shows. Oh and notice how they are playing the cruise one on May 9th...only a few days before I leave!

Ohhhh I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!!!! You must be over the moon excited about getting in!

Ohhh and the plus of a Disney trip isnt bad either. See I knew all that planning of the "imaginary" trip wouldn't go to waste!

Thanks!

Yes, I'm very excited! Toronto is completely different from here (Big city, compared to tiny city, ) But I think I'm more excited about the possibility of a Disney in December trip and Autumn in NYC than about school! I'll wait and plan more after I read your TR, you always have such good ideas that I may have to steal some.
