Happy Mickey-versary for 15 yrs! An Oct. 2011 PTR NEW: 11/13 Pretend Disney? & TRlink

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Hi Julie,

I have been away for so long, and I apologize. I am also sorry to have missed your birthday. From the looks of the pictures, you and the family had a great time.

I cannot believe we are now only 39 days until this trip!! Where has the time gone? And the summer for that matter!! The fall weather has already arrived here. I was hoping for a more gradual transition. You know, some 70 degree type weather. Well, here's hoping it's not too late!

Matt's costume looks good!! I cannot wait to see it in person and the extra touches that you're going to add to it.

Clever countdown idea! I will hopefully be doing both of these things!

Cannot wait to see what other activities you'll be participating in.

p.s. They've finally opened a Disney store about 25 minutes north of where I live!!! Can you say, trouble?

Hmmm a Dole Whip. I absolutely have to get my DH to try one, he loves pineapple!

 

[exwdwcm]

LOVE dole whip floats- i get one each trip!

 

[Parla]

thanks he humors me...but I think he likes it almost as much as me....

yes you can use snack credits for them! they are so delish...it is a new must per trip now!

Oh and I found that Mickey/Minnie Halloween shirt at my Target the other day...had to search for it, but found it they run small though, normally I am a M or L based on sizing...but had to go w/ an XL....thanks for posting it on your PTR never would have known

and please remind what our your dates and day to day plans...do we have anything the same?

So glad you got your shirt. I simply can't wait to wear it in the Magic Kingdom.

I can't remember what overlapped but I know we had at least one day that was the same. Here's my schedule again.

Saturday, October 15: Epcot/Spirit of Aloha
Sunday, October 16: Magic Kingdom/MNSSHP
Monday, October 17: Epcot
Tuesday, October 18: AK/HDDR/Haunted Carriage Ride
Wednesday, October 19: DHS/Illuminations Cruise
Thursday, October 20: Epcot/Half pool day
Friday, October 21: Magic Kingdom/DTD
Saturday, October 22: DHS/Flight home

OK you've inspired me! I might do a scrapper-inspired top 40 countdown on my PTR... in just 19 days! I started a list but I'll have to see if I can come up with 40... Dole Whips are already on my list.

I can't believe I waited until January to try one!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

LOVE your countdown idea, I may even have to steal it! Dole whips will surely be on mine, I have never had one, but I think they are dairy free!

 

[Tinkermom76]

Love your countdown! I have a feeling that everything on your list will be on my list too!!!

no worries....figured you were busy

I cannot believe we are now only 39 days until this trip!! Where has the time gone? And the summer for that matter!! The fall weather has already arrived here. I was hoping for a more gradual transition. You know, some 70 degree type weather. Well, here's hoping it's not too late!

it's getting cooler here too...after having a spike of 90 degree days last week we dropped down to upper 60's over the weekend and have had some glorious 70 degree days now...hope it stays this way

Matt's costume looks good!! I cannot wait to see it in person and the extra touches that you're going to add to it.

thanks

thank you...it's always fun to countdown and get ready for the FUN to be had... love the Disney store

Hmmm a Dole Whip. I absolutely have to get my DH to try one, he loves pineapple!

yes they are good...the whip is just the soft serve and the float was pictured..I personally love the float and matt is a straight whip

LOVE dole whip floats- i get one each trip!

seems to be a trend

So glad you got your shirt. I simply can't wait to wear it in the Magic Kingdom.

me too and at the kids school too on Halloween

yes we have two sort of overlaps...we'll be at MK on the 16th till MK closes or close to it before MNSSHP and then we'll be at EP as well on Monday at the start of the day and mainly doing F&W...I'll email you

OK you've inspired me! I might do a scrapper-inspired top 40 countdown on my PTR... in just 19 days! I started a list but I'll have to see if I can come up with 40... Dole Whips are already on my list.

go for it it was actually pretty easy to come up w/ the 40 things

I can't believe I waited until January to try one!

LOVE your countdown idea, I may even have to steal it! Dole whips will surely be on mine, I have never had one, but I think they are dairy free!

feel free too...the trick is to m,ake your list...then type it in word copy paste your photo url (if using photos) and then you can just copy/paste each day on the boards... took a little whoile sorting and had to google a few images...but was a good afternoon spent


I believe they are too tasty!

Love your countdown! I have a feeling that everything on your list will be on my list too!!!

just about I believe

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Ooooh, I'm so jealous that so many of you October DISers are meeting up! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[mousescrapper]

I am so very excited about this!!

me too looking forward to meeting you and your family so soon!

Ooooh, I'm so jealous that so many of you October DISers are meeting up! Can't wait to hear all about it!

They sort of just all happened...I think Matt will "kill" me if I plan another...but he humors me and knows how fun it is for me to meet other Dis folk like myself

 

[Parla]

Parla we are going to see if we can get something to work out...

​

I'm sure we can work something out. Preferably not if Matt is going to kill you though.

What day are you meeting Stephanie? Maybe we could all soar together? Take up a whole row!

Sept 9th 37 days till Disney:

Drink around the World…

never used to consider myself a drinker...in fact I didn't even drink...never had that stupid drunken moment either...I consider that a good thing...my as my children were getting older and I entered into my mid 30's I thought it's not all bad right? With a more secure outlook and sense of freedom...hmmm who knew 3 frozen slushie drinks later and I was singing 'ol 80's tunes w/ 2 of my best Dis pals in front of the Land

so now an occasional drink out or at a family BBQ...I am cool w/ that...so I am way cool w/ Drinking around the World w/ my Hubby and NO kids

of course the Grey Goose Slushie is on the list and looking forward to a few other frozen concoctions plus a fall Sam Adams brew...should be fun ​

I'm stealing that graphic! I already announced in Karen's PTR that I would be drinking around the world. I have kids with me though so it will take the two full days to do it. I hope it doesn't convey a positive drinking message to them though.
