Traci ~ The next 5 days are going to fly by.....you'll be at the GF before you know it :dance3:. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the crowds are decent and not too bad for your trip :wizard: :wizard:. I know what you mean about there not being any slow time at Disney anymore :sad2:.

Are you guys doing the Halloween party :confused3? That's alot of fun....we've done it 3 times......now I'm ready to do the Christmas again in 2009 :santa:.


We are attending our first party ever!!!! We are going on Tuesday the 28th. My son is going to be Buzz and I had an outfit made for my daughter - she is going to be a Minnie Halloween Princess!!!! We are really excited about it. I would love to go over Christmas, but the crowds scare me. :eek: Maybe after this trip I will be ready to brave them. I want to see Disney during the holiday. What's your favorite part of the Halloween Party?? I can tell my hubby, Deb said not to miss this......

You are going to have so much fun :banana: :banana:. Everyone gets little trick-or-treat bags upon entering the MK. It's so cute seeing all the little kids dressed up wandering around and going through the treat-or-treat stations :goodvibes. They have a special Halloween parade that's pretty cool :). The first time we went in 2004, it was on Halloween night so that was neat :wizard:. Then we went again in 2006 and 2007 at the end of September. We've never found the parties to be unbearable as far as crowds :confused3....but I guess it's just a matter of opinion as alot of people post that they'll never do the party again because it was so crowded :confused:. But just go with the mind-set that you're going to have a great time and I'm sure the night will be a complete success :thumbsup2. I don't know if I have a favorite part of the party or not. I am so into Disney that I just like being there :laughing:. I like taking in all the Halloween decorations, the parade, the shopping.....just everything about it is neat to me :rolleyes:. As far as shopping goes, there are items available only at the party....so that's neat to come home with souvies that are dated for the party that not just anybody can get :thumbsup2. I think the parties are a must do atleast once.....but that's me.....but then again, anything Disney related I must do :rotfl: :rotfl:.

And as far as Christmas goes.....the year we went (2003) it was the week right before Christmas and we noticed the people starting to flood in that Friday night and Saturday we were leaving :rolleyes:. But I will say WDW is absolutely beautiful all decorated during the holidays :santa:. It's a great time to go :).

Make sure you take pics of your little darlings in their Halloween outfits so you can post them when you get back :). I'm sure they are going to look so adorable.....I can't wait to see them all dressed up :cutie:. I'm so excited for you leaving in just 5 days :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:!!!!
 
Your excitement for me is making me more excited!! Our trips to Disney are so special! I will post pics when I get back :) I am excited to see Channings. Speaking of, I wonder how she is doing???? I bet she and the girls are having the time of their lives! :banana:

Ohhhh I can't wait for the party now!!
 
I've been wondering about Chan and the girls too :rolleyes1. After all her nervousness about going by herself with the girls, they're probably having so much fun she's not even thinking of us poor gals back at home :rotfl: :rotfl:.

You will have a great trip :thumbsup2. And you've got every right to be excited :yay:. I've got a mere 8 months and 4 weeks to go :rotfl2: :rotfl2:.
 

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend...:)

Kelly I bet you are....;) after last nites game..

Deb and Traci I love MNSSHP even better than MMVCP...it has been a favorite of my kids too even though they are older...just a fun time all round..what better place to trick or treat than at the MK:thumbsup2

Traci you can enjoy the wonderful Christmas decorations with out the big crowds by going right after Thanksgining....we have done this many times its terrific..although as we've all been hearing there really isnt a slow time anymore (but that time frame is still much slower than christmas week)everything (hotels and all) is decorated and all of the Christmas shows are going on....you'll love it....time to plan another trip!!!:rotfl: Just like Deb...which by the way summer will be here before you know it (you might even have DS report grade by then..:rotfl: )

Traci your enthusiasm is contagious...we're all excited for you..it will be a great trip....

Ok I'm rambling on here talking disney does that to me!!!

Now I wanna book a holiday trip too....uh oh...

TTYL:flower3:
 
O.K.- I just read the post on the snake in the room at the CR with the eggs and all.

I AM READY TO MOVE BACK TO THE MAIN BUILDING...NO KIDDING! This freaks me out. I knew I should not have cancelled my reservation. If I find a snake in my room....I will just die. I am scared to death of those things!!

I am sending an email to my lovely TA and telling her to make sure I am on the TOP FLOOR!!! (don't care about a view just get me the heck away from ground floor)

I read that thread too and NO WAY would I be able to contain myself if I was the one who found it :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:!!! Too creepy is right :eek:. This thread reminds me of one quite awhile ago (maybe a year or so ago :confused3) where someone found an ALLIGATOR under their car at one of the resort parking lots :scared1: :eek: :scared:. Can't remember which resort.....but CREEPY, CREEPY, CREEPY!!!!!
 
BlueSkies - Where have you stayed when you've gone during the holidays? I can't decide where to stay for our December 2009 trip :confused:. For some reason I'm leaning toward the YC (possibly CL :confused3). I'd love to do the GF but since we're staying there in July, it might be nice to try something different...or am I totally crazy :rolleyes1? Although I'm not sure after our July stay if I'll be able to stay anywhere else :rotfl: :rotfl:. We did the BC in December 2003 and while that was very nice, the YC looks gorgeous :). If you (or anyone else) have opinions on the YC, please give them ;). Hasn't Chan stayed YC CL :confused3? It's terrible trying to decide since there are so many great resorts to choose from :rolleyes:. And I can't ask DH because he won't have any input......plus he knows I'll pick what I want anyway, so he figures why bother :lmao: :lmao:.




Deb :flower3:
 
Congratulations, Mando! You have a great team this year! I am a Red Sox fan but I think I may have told you before I also like Tampa Bay! Carlos Pena is from my town...Did I ever tell you that? I am sure if they win the series...uhm...when they win the series, there will be signs up everywhere! LOL :rotfl: "Hometown of Carlos Pena"! Anyways, it was a good series! :thumbsup2

Today is the day that I decide where I am staying...I have it narrowed down though:rotfl: DH has changed his toon again and is back to Shades! LOL :upsidedow The kids complain there because there are no kids activities at the pool. :rotfl: I told them last night if we stay there, they can go to Neverland and Sandcastle Club whenever they want! Imagine that..me telling my kids that as a treat! They LOVE LOVE LOVE those clubs! They were all for that! I still cant bring myself to stay there...IDK! I need help!

Happy day everyone! :flower3:
 
Hey all!!! MORNING!!!!

I am sitting here listening to the power blowers & trimmers outside at fricken 8 am....enough already!!! My kids are still sleeping.

Mandy!
I think meeting you was the highlight of their trip...probably was and will be.:rotfl: Jojo asked me last night before bed if we were going to see you all again....:goodvibes So, if you want to come to WDW again let me know!!!:rotfl2:

We are having a nice time but it IS CROWDED....unbelievably so. We went over to Epcot Sat night after a yummy dinner at B & C....we sat at the counter and watched them make No Way Joses and Kitchen Sinks....and then the lady that made our No Way Jose totally skimped on the pb and hot fudge.:rotfl: Jo and I split it and we were ready to ask for more sauce but we got full anyway. Then we went to Epcot and did a few things but it was a SEA ofpeople....I just held my camera up and took shots of the mega heads in the crowds. NOT FUN - that was WS at F & WF...so we headed to Future World and just did a couple things because crowds were still large over that way. ugh. We went back to watch Camp ROck on the YC beach ....til it rained.:rotfl: We walked over to the Swan and called it an early night. Things weren't going our way....they usually don't that first night. I dropped my camera. I broke something......it doesn't zoom and focus like ti should. So I am so sad. Jojo left a 6 DVD boxed set on the plane....even aFTER I SAID PUT THAT SET IN YOUR BACKPACK.....:rotfl: :rotfl: We had a few other stupid incidents.....Figured TIME FOR BED and start fresh on Sunday.

Sunday we got up early and went to MK and it was BEAUTIFUL. We ate cinnamon buns on main street while watching the trolley singers.....they have really yummy yogurt parfaits with fruit and oats there, too. YUM!!!

Then we went to Tom Sawyer Island...believe it or not....because Jojo wanted to...so we spent our first hour out there using up the uncrowded park time.:rotfl: But she did have fun! Then we rafted back, won dream ears, and got on BTM with our FPs. AFter that...we roamed around. They didn't want FPs....just wanted to roam. Watched the castle show....shhopped....did Pooh Bear...where this CM crammed the three of us in row one....:rotfl: I said LOOK AT MY BUTT...(well not really but I wanted to:rotfl2: ) because I thought she was KIDDING...I laughed and said Hey, can't we have two rows...we'll be squished and she basically said SHUT Up and get into row one.:rotfl: OMG...that was after our pissy CM on BTM that wanted to split us up in differnt train cars...He's says I CAN GUARANTEE you the SAME TRAIN BUT NOT THE SAME CAR....:rolleyes1 :headache: Nope...aint flying bud. I am there with my two kids we are riding in the SAME car. WTH? So we just did it anyway. What are these peeps thinking??

Then we had lunch at the plaza....good as always but no German potato salad anymore!!:eek: That is what we always look forward to....somethig good and fresh vs. the fries....ugh. These menu changes stink.

After Plaza we shopped a bit....Jojo picked out a Polly Pocket Prince to date all her other princesses....(he has all the Prince outfits.:rotfl: so he's a player) and he broke already. Glad I saved the receipt....they will exchange I know that for sure. Done it before.:)

Then we boated over to GF to visit and had a nice chat. That's where we met Mandy!!!!! PS...Mandy, DH said he was calling all day dnd even left me a message but it's NOT on my phone!!! NO calls and NO message!!! He wound up calling me at 11:30 at night and woke me up! :rotfl: I am cell phone challenged. I feel really bad bcause I did not get Mandy's calls or hear my stupid phone ring.:headache: We met up by LUCK!:wizard: And poor Mandy's efforts.

We had a lot of fun with Mandy and her sister and her darling dolly girls. OMG. they are precious and soooo sweet. Mandy and her sister are as nice as can be.:goodvibes

By the end of the day Jojo's feet hurt bad and Lucy was wiped out. It was a lot of fun though. I can't believe they are still sleeping though!!! That yard work outside was noisy.

We are probably going to DHS and then Epcot today...and they want to hang out on th BW this eve. Anoterh long day so better they sleep in. I like it better when we go late and stay late. That fits our schedules better.

Michelle!!!
I saw you posted on teh GF Faq!! I knew you all were going but I forgot you were going BEFORE Us, too!!!! Hope you had fun! Lucy said Brenna said she really likes the F & W F....maybe today won't be as crowded and we can say we like it too.:rotfl: Sat night was PACKED....:scared1:

OK...by the Go Red Sox and Mandy's post...not sure who won last night.

The Swan is nice. I have a room next to a room I had last May...we have a tree view but it's upgraded from the standard and has a blacony and looks out on the water and BWI.

TTYL...I'll be here...my girls are sound asleep!

Morning Gals :surfweb:.

Has anyone heard from Chan :confused3????? I hope she and the girls are having a great time :dance3:.


Mandy ~ YAY for the Rays :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:. I'm not into baseball but I'm excited for you :goodvibes.


Traci ~ When is it you leave???? Are you down to 4 or 5 days :confused3?? I'm so excited for you....you're going to have a blast :banana: :banana: :banana:. Don't forget....take LOTS of pics :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2.


tete ~ I would help you if I can, but I'm having a hard time myself deciding where to stay for our December 2009 trip :rolleyes1. I know it's a ways away and I have plenty of time, but I am a planner and it's killing me that I can't make a decision :rotfl: :rotfl:. And DH isn't much help at all, so there's no sense in asking him :rotfl:. Good luck deciding....I'm sure you'll have a great trip no matter where you stay :wizard: :wizard:. Which resorts are you trying to decide between????


Have a great Monday all :flower3:.

Deb :upsidedow
 
oh!! i also have to say we LAUGHED SO HARD at all the old and chubby princesses we say at the Halloween party!! (don't think I am mean...I AM old and chubby:rotfl: ) We didn't stay but peeps were piling in for it all afternoon.....OK..is that mean?? We just thought it was a riot...there were some funny costumes. :rotfl: I feel better about me not dressing up.:rotfl: :rotfl:

Lucy said she could have done without seeing some of that....it was so hysterical. TONS of Dalmations...in all varieties.... Old ladies in princess outfits...and shorty short dresses...a GUY dressed like a cow with udders sticking straight out...NASTY....and some other wack job peeps. Really kind of macabre.:rotfl: :rotfl: One lady was dressed as Ursula and it was GOOD though.

We also decided BLT is one ugly thing. Lucy said if she ever gets a giant bowling ball for Xmas she knows what she's gonna do with it.:rotfl2:
 
Hey Everyone!!

Good Morning Channing!!! I am so excited to hear from you girls!! I can't believe its so crowded!! I wish I was there instead of here!!! Have a great time!!

Hey Everyone!!

Good Morning Channing!!! I am so excited to hear from you girls!! I can't believe its so crowded!! I wish I was there instead of here!!! Have a great time!!

Is it warm there?

Saturday is was HOT..and STICKY!!! and then it rained.:rotfl:

Yesterday was GORGEOUS...it was probably 80 and low humidity and clear blue skies....super day. Today is gonna be the same.:thumbsup2

:goodvibes
 
Chan! Ugghh about those lawn peeps! Hopefully they get it done today! LOL

The Rays won last night...

Mandy called me from the lobby...I wanted to cry! Then I told DH it is a sign we should stay there and then DD used the last of my GF shampoo and I said it was an even bigger sign that I had to get there to get some more...The downer said..we can buy it at the store there!

On no I just looked at the time....I will be back after I bring the kids to school!
 
I love DHS, I really love Toy Story Mania, I obsessed with trying to bet my DH and DS. It hasn't happened yet, but I am close!!!

I can't wait to see pictures, did you take any with Mandy? BTW I think your handling the camera and DVD situation pretty well!!!

Where are your dinner ressies for tonight?
 
HI CHAN ....I just saw your post after I posted :laughing:. I'm sorry it's crowded but sounds like you and the girls are having a nice time anyway :). Except, of course, on a few of the rides :rotfl: :rotfl:. How funny about the Halloween costumes......we've been to the party 3 times and I have to agree......LOTS of unique costumes out there :rotfl2: :rotfl2:. I LOVE to people watch and that's sometimes the BEST place to watch them :lmao:. Glad you were able to meet Mandy ;). Maybe the crowds will lessen a little today :wizard:. I know you'll continue to have a great time :yay:. Enjoy :goodvibes :goodvibes!!!


Deb :)
 
OH!! well YAY RAYS!!!:goodvibes (sorry you Red Sox fans)

We are eating at Brown Derby today for lunch and I had planned to head to MK tonight for EMH....but since we changed things around a bit and did MK yesterday and part of the point of being out here is to do Epcot and DHS....we are doing THAT. So....maybe we will eat at B&C again for dinner or snack in E[cot...not sure. Sometimes when we just wing it we have more fun then planning and rushing...kwim? That's why I figured let the kids sleep....they need the rest and we are on VACATION!!! I think Jojo still has that Been There Done That attitude....so we need to just chill out.

My camera still works...it just doesn't do the long range zoom...it's blurry....I keep trying to check and see if there is some funky setting on. Where is a guy when you need one?:rotfl: I wish I could trasnport DH here for 5 minutes and then send him back.:thumbsup2 So...I should take the card out and see what they photos look like...I will do that later today.....

Not sure we will even make TSM...if the kids keep sleeping....we won't even be able to grab fP for it. Oh well......Sometimes the fun finds us when we aren't looking for IT.

Chan
