Have 527 Days Until Our Vacation, But I Need Some Disney Magic Now!*22 DAYS TO GO!!!!

[Corrine 1973]

All this talk about perfume I figured it would be the perfect time to jump into this thread since we will be the "other girls" going with Corrine. And she knows I Love perfume,but I do promise to bring a light smelling one. As long as there are no stinky people on the plane.

Well look who finally dedided to show up. Great to see you (finally) here megamomx7 (great name by the way). I can't wait to plan our trip next year together. Feel free to introduce yourself. I will share the PTR (right D).

 

[DMGeurts]

So lets start with day one of our little trip. I probably will not sleep very much the night before (but since I have a hard time sleeping every night any way it will not be that much of a change), but I still have a long way until I am able to leave for my trip.

I will get up about 6:45 and start getting the kids ready for school. At 8 I will drop off Liam and Mia at school (unless it is nice enough for us all to walk). I will get some last minute stuff done, finish packing my suitcase and carry on, stalk the Dis for a little, maybe send D and Lidian a text to here how their trips are going, and maybe take the younger boys to the park if it is nice enough.

I will get the kids at about 2:30-3:00 (if I am driving the car, if not I will walk over there about 2:45)

I will put the suitcase in the car when I get home (or earlier if everything is packed), help the kids do their homework, and remind them that they need to be good while I am gone.

At about 4 I will give them all a big hug and a kiss, tell Liam to text me later, and head out the door to the airport.

I am thinking I will just grab something on the way to the airport for dinner. My flight leaves at 7:40 out of MidWay Airport in Chicago so unless I hit some bad traffic, I should be fine. (Oh I hope I haven't cursed myself there)

I am bringing my Kindle Fire with me to keep me busy during the flight, so hopefully the almost 3 hour trip will fly by. Though it looks like my flight might not have WiFi so I will have to make sure I have done loaded some movies to keep me busy. If my Netflix is working I will probably just watch the Disney Parks Videos, or maybe some videos on YouTube.

The flight is going to touch down just after 11pm, so I am hoping that I will be able to get to POFQ around Midnight. I will than check in, head to my room, change into my PJ's, slide between the covers, and watch a little TV until I drift off to sleep.

Yea I know, not to exciting. I promise it will get more exciting on the next day.

Yup - I would be a walking zombie too...

I'm sorry Tink. I'll try better. I need to get on the DIS Dean's List now.

I used to use hairspray. I took it in 2009. And I do use it if I wear my hair curly, but it's so cute in this bob that I love it straight. And if I decide to wear it curly on my trip, I have a massive 69,078 pound can of Aussie Sprunch Spray.

And I agree Tink, I can't use hairspray (or any products) if they don't smell pretty. For the most part, I only use Orchid Oil on my hair. It smells sooo divine! But then I worry about bees being attracted to it, so I don't use it as much in warmer weather. But that goes for any scented products.

OK - don't be surprised if I sniff your head when we meet. Can't say that I've ever smelled Orchid oil, nor do I know where to find it to smell it.

..."Hey Liddy, it's so nice to meet you! Sniiiiiiiiiifffffff...." This will, of course, take place before Mexico.

I can always text you when I get on the plane so you at least know that the flight is in the air. Hmm, I think I will definatly need a second battery for my phone with all the texting I am going to be doing.

I can't wait to meet you as well.

That would be nice if you could text me too when you are getting on the plane.

Spring has sprung in FL. The bees are out, my flowers have bloomed. Orchid oil sounds nice. I use Dove hair spray. No bee problems so far.

I agree... Tink is teasing us... Mud is in the air in MN - our dusting of snow melted again and our yard is a huge mess.

I can't believe how close we are to our trips everyone... I am freakin' out here in MN.

I purchase mine from a local salon. It's made by White Sands. It smells sooooo pretty!

DH will think it's a DIS-greeting-ritual if you sniff my hair. But I thought we were meeting in Mexico.

[JennMouse32]

Why will you be crying?

my hunnie will be lleaving for 2 weeks.. military stuff.. its gonna soo suck... he has been living here since Dec 24th..ive gotten so use to him being around, and being here when i get home from work..etc

I know how you feel - the first time Josh went to AT, it sucked. I was/am an emotional person and I cried every day. I hated having him gone. Just think of the reunion though... Plan something special the day he comes home... Dinner and a movie - at home, of course... something you can really throw yourself into and look forward to - and occupy your time with planning it.

Awwww! I'm so sorry hon. I couldn't imagine what it would be like. We'll do our best to keep you company.

He won't mind then?

Nope. But then he'll expect all the DISers to do it.

D has some great advice, and she's been there! Hopefully she can help you through your tough time.

Hopeing that those two weeks speed by. I Love D's idea to plan somehting special for when he comes back.

Nope. But then he'll expect all the DISers to do it.

Does this mean I need to smell your hair when I see you?

So I am a little angry at my cell phone carrier right now. (Will not tell you the name of the company, but here is a lttle hint. It's the same as D's)
I am a little worried that my phones battery will not last the entire day especially with all the texting I will be doing and checking up on the lines app. So I asked them about getting a second battery. They don't have any. I just got the phone a couple of months ago, why don't they have any batteries. They actually suggested I get a pay as you go phone and change the SIM card when my battery died. Problem is a cheap phone will not do everything my phone does. I guess I am going to go look on ebay.

 

[Corrine 1973]

So here are the plans for day two of the trip.

I will wake up early to get ready to be there for rope drop at Epcot. I might grab breakfast at the food court, or maybe just eat something in the room. It depends on what time I wake up and how much time I have. I will also text D to see what time she wants to meet at the bus.

Than off to Epcot.
Once there I will watch D and Lidian fight over who gets the pleasure of my company.

Things I want to do at Epcot:
Soarin'
Test Track
Spaceship Earth
Mission Space (the wossy side)
Living with the Land
Pick a Pearl

At sometime I am going to have lunch with D and Lidian. Not sure where though, just know it will be a CS. (I enjoyed the cantina last year.)

I am looking foward to enjoying World showcase until my dinner reservation at the Rose & Crown at 7:15. After eating I will than head to POR for the Dis Meet.

I hope to not go to bed to late since I am planning on another early day the next day at MK.

[JennMouse32]

we already have something planned. cuz he will be gone for his birthday. h wants to go see the new spiderman movi when it comes out. i crid just when he was gone overnight for drill.. its gonna be so much worse when he leaves for 2 weeks.. granted i get him back about a month later when i go to disney.. but at least when i go to disney I know we will be able to keep in touch.

As far as batteries go, I don't know of any places locally that sells extra cell-phone batteries. I recommend checking the cellphone manufacturers website. However, I will not recommend purchasing a "used" battery. So if you go an auction site, or a super depot online retailer, search for "new" ones.

As much as I love Mexican, it has a tendency to make me very sick. Sometimes spiced foods just don't settle well on my tummy and I have to do some worshipping. Not fun. So sorry that you'll miss Mexican if you dine with me. However, if your heart is set on Mexican, you and D can have at it. I'll find something more bland to munch on and meet up with you girls afterwards.

Your plans look good! I probably won't ride Mission Space: Green this year. DH and DD will ride, though. DS didn't like it, and th 3D effects can make me a bit ... So I'll take DS and find something to do while they ride. You're welcome to tag along with my DH and DD. But you would fill out D's crew nicely as well.

I've not decided if we'll pick pearls this year or not. I guess it will depend on time and finances. I'd love to get one and have it set. DD picked one in 2010. Who knows.

I thought you guys were going to fight over me?

I really want the Cantina too - but Liddy can't do Mexican... I say we pack her a PB&J and eat at the Cantina anyways?

I have a feeling we will be there much later than we think It's a DISmeet afterall.

D~

Feel free to have Mexican. Our gang will go for something more bland so I don't spend the day worshipping.


And how about we all fight over each other?

I am sure we can find something we all want to eat together.

I agree, lets just all fight over each other.

Yea I definatly don't want to get a used battery. I will definatly take a look over on the manufacturers web site to see what is available.

I have decided that every time I go to WDW I will pick a pearl. I also picked one for Mia last year so I might get one for her as well.

I have never been on Mission Space. I know my stomach can not take the orange version, so I am hoping that I will be able to do the green one. Who knows, this may be my first time and last time doing this attraction.

So I am a little bit worried about my knee. I have been having a little bit of trouble with my right knee for a couple of months now ( I noticed that I can not raise it perfectly staight when I am sitting down and it causes me pain when I do lift it) I wasn't to worried about it because it hasn't caused any real problems. But I walked at the mall yesterday to condition myself to all the walking at WDW and when I got out of the car at home my knee was really hurting. This after only a mile of walking. I am going to try to get a knee brace and keep walking in hopes that it will get better but am fearing that I might have trouble with it in the World.

We will all find something to eat together - it wouldn't be the same with out you Liddy. And after my episode with Chipotle yesterday - I am not sure my tummy can handle Mexican food again any time soon - even though I soooo love it.

I agree about the new battery... Originally, the girls and I all have the same phone, so if my phone dies through out the course of the day - I was going to pull a "I am in charge, too bad" move and put my sim card into their phones. But, after Wednesday, I am due for a full upgrade - so we'll see if Tmob is any nicer to me... Otherwise, D~ is going on a mission to find a new provider. But I'd really like a new phone before our trip - I'd love to run the Lines app the way it's supposed to be run.

Corri - watch out for that knee - the last time we went, I was having knee problems too, so I just brought my brace with (my knees like to just pop out of their sockets for no apparent reason) - it's strange because mine comes and goes... Right now, it's gone and I hope it stays that way - I am having a hard enough time with my Plantar Fascitis.

I hope your knee gets conditioned. However, if you have to rent a scooter, I'm hitching a ride with you, too.

I was fine with all the effects, except the 3D ones. They ... didn't go so well. However, I've ridden it every year, so it's not "too" bad. But last year was DS's first year and he cried. So I know he'll pass, and DH loves the ride. I figured DH and DD can go ride and I'll spend some time with DS.

I absolutely love Lines. I may put it on DH's phone, so I can use his battery up some. That way, my battery won't be dead by the end of the day, his will be. I do know I'll adjust some of my other apps, and won't have them push. We'll, hopefully, get new phones this weekend. So hoping you can snag something good, D! Can't wait to hear what you get!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

I will try to talk you through it but am probably not the best to relay this info. First of all copy your link to your PTR. Than go to your siggy and write what you want your title to be (don't forget to add size, font, and color you want). Highlight your title. Now go to the line up top where you can make things bold or center it, go to the icon to the left of the red X (it looks like a small world with a paper clip like thing in front.) Paste our PTR link in there.
Hope I explained it right.

I just followed your instructions and did it! Thanks Corrine!!!

Good luck with a new phone on Wed. I can't wait to see what you chose. All three of us with our Lines app . . . . I did find a new battery on Amazon for a good price and I also bought a cover for it. Nothing disney for my Wildfire

Corri - watch out for that knee - the last time we went, I was having knee problems too, so I just brought my brace with (my knees like to just pop out of their sockets for no apparent reason) - it's strange because mine comes and goes...

D~

Thanks D. I am hoping it will be alright, but I have made an appoinment for the Dr next week. I am going to do some more walking today and see what happens. First of all I will get a knee brace and take some Advil and see if that might help. Take care of those feet.

I hope your knee gets conditioned. However, if you have to rent a scooter, I'm hitching a ride with you, too.

You can hitch a ride as long as you don't slow me down!!

I was fine with all the effects, except the 3D ones. They ... didn't go so well. However, I've ridden it every year, so it's not "too" bad. But last year was DS's first year and he cried. So I know he'll pass, and DH loves the ride. I figured DH and DD can go ride and I'll spend some time with DS.

I have had a little trouble with the 3D effects with ST's so I will probably have some trouble here as well, but I still want to try it . . . at least once. So glad that you get some one on one time with your DS.

I absolutely love Lines. I may put it on DH's phone, so I can use his battery up some. That way, my battery won't be dead by the end of the day, his will be. I do know I'll adjust some of my other apps, and won't have them push. We'll, hopefully, get new phones this weekend. So hoping you can snag something good, D! Can't wait to hear what you get!

I can't wait to try out the Lines app in the parks. Can't wait to see your new phones. Are you going to try to find a new Disney case for it as soon as you get it, I know how much you love the one for your current phone.

I just followed your instructions and did it! Thanks Corrine!!!

I am glad my instructions worked. It had been a while since I did this that I hoped I didn't forget something when I posted it last week.

 

[Corrine 1973]

So day three.

I once again plan on getting up early so I can make it to the MK rope drop. I have never seen the opening show there and I am determined to finally see it.

I have a 9:55 breadfast so I will probably head over to FL and catch a couple of rides before the lines get to bad and than head back to Crystal Palace for breakfast.

Yes that's right I having breakfast at a Charater Meal by myself. You got a problem with that?

So here a few of the musts for this park:

Pirates of the Caribean
Splash Mountain
Haunted Masion
Peter Pan's Flight
Mickey's Philharmagic
Jungle Cruise
TTA

I am hoping that the first stage of the Fantasy Land Expansion has a soft opening so that I can check it out, but I guess we will have to see.

I have ressies for Boma at 5:30 so I will head off and do dinner. I will probably go back to MK after I am done and see what else there is to see. I really want to see the new version of the MM&Y show in person and while I am there I might as well catch some fireworks.

Than it is resort time again. Have to refresh myself for the rest of my trip.
