[Lives4Disney]

Morning, all!! I am dragging myself out of bed earlier and earlier in preparation for next week. I heard the band bus go by at 6:10 am. They are out practicing. Yesterday I got woken up by the sound of hot air balloons over my house! I love that!! They fill up and take off in the field behind our house. I LOVE watching them rise up behind the trees. So I have been awakened early two days in a row now. I didn't get out of bed til 9 though. Next week IS going to be a shock to my system. And then my neighbor and I start walking as soon as the last kid is on the bus. Double whammy.

It was great hearing from Sheli last night. I hope today is clear and sunny.

Yes its really 2am and i'm posting....

WTG Shel....HAVE A BLAST...it sounds like you guys already are! I love Shel's attitude~just glad to be at Disney....Think about it if i was stuck in a tropical storm where would the best place to be???? DISNEY and the GF!
Keep on posting Shel....

Chan next time us gals are out lets order a pink squirrel and see if anyone knows what it is

OK....NOW WHY WERE YOU UP AT 2 am!?!?!!? ARE YOU NERVOUS? I hope you're ok.....I know you're already at school......I hope it was great, Dawn....you shouldn't doubt yourself. I am telling you...when I met you I was like OMG>..she's so great!

Morning!

Sheli~ Sounds like you are having a great trip!! Keep posting!!

Kristin~ Hopefully it will work out so your little guy can make his first day to kindergarten.

Dawn~ I KNOW you are gonna do great!!! GOOD LUCK!

BlueSkies~ I am glad everything worked out for you and you do deserve this trip so have a blast!

Channing~ Someone posted on the Theme Park board about the dolls in Germany. Are they like American Girl Dolls and can they wear the same clothes??

Mandy~ I am so glad you are safe and sound!

Hopefully Kelly and M&P are having a great trip! Best wishes for a magical vacation to anyone leaving soon!

Have a great day everyone! V

Hi, Vanessa! Where has Evie been hiding?? On the dolls...YES they are the same height and basically the same shape as AG dolls, but they cannot wear the same shoes. The German dolls have chubbier feet. They CAN wear the same clothes. The German dolls are soooo great. They are MUCH BETTER quality than the AG dolls currently being produced. My kids love having the dolls made. DH doesn't enjoy it.

Lesley....did you pack yet? OMG...I had the funniest dream about you guys....and I know it was you guys but I don't know how I do (one of those crazy dream things)...You were in the Princess Suite and you decided to carpet steam the rugs. You weren't mad about it and it wasn't like you HAD to do it...you just happily wanted to. I hope you guys have a wonderful time without any cleaning!!!!! Enjoy your trip!

Have a great day, all....

He LOves it Chan , he has no clue that I bumped us to RPC behing his back...he is oblivious...but after they concierge guy met the car this morning he said "Wow! This is the way to go!" So I think RPC (Or at least SL, has a customer for life!!)

The kids are having a ball! I think the plder boys rode Space Mtn about 5 times in a row...alll walk on!!! They LOVED their Disney Florist Baskets that the concierge crew placed in the rooms for them before we got here!!! THAT WAS SO FUN!!!!! They were shocked (I promise some pics once I get home!!!)

The storm has not been had here, a little windy, quite a bit of rain, but not horrible...it has been fun and truly a great day!!!

Magical Wishes!!!

Glad you are having such a great time at the parks and enjoying RPC, Sheli !! Can't wait to hear more if you get a chance!

 

[Cinderumbrella]

Good Morning!!

Tonight is DS's open house where we get to meet the teacher!! I hope the strike stuff gets settled soon!!

Hooray for Shel's great view and her Best Day Ever!!! Hopefully that rain moves outta there soon!

Chan- I think you were dreaming about Mandy! She is the self proclaimed vaccuum queen!!

Mandy- how are you holding up down there???????????

Dawn- poor thing posting at 2am!! You are going to be great!!

I am LMAO at all the multi quoting- enjoy your new "toy" ladies!!

I need to get moving and I just don't feel like it!!

Enjoy the day!

A PERSONAL NOTE OF APPRECIATION

To all my new friends here on the GF thread~

As I had posted before I have been reading and enjoying(lurking )this thread for a while but was definitely post shy (but once I got started- all evidence to the contrary!) Any way as our trip got closer Dniece encouraged me to share my enthusiasm here...so here I am...and enjoying every minute
A few weeks ago went for that annual mamo but instead of the usual see you next year , things were not exactly as they should be ...so off for some more test...biopsy and so on...but instead of fretting in my spare time I was here posting and it REALLY was a wonderful distraction

Two days to go finally got results all is good and we can be off on our trip with clears minds ....

So thank you all for this wonderful community....even when you didnt know it you were all quite comforting

Blueskies:

I too mostly lurk but have been visiting more frequently. Having been through the biopsy etc process with my mother with a different result (but all is well post lumpectomy and radiation), I can appreciate the anxiety.

Now you have a reason to celebrate!!!

 

[lovemy2boys]

Lesley....did you pack yet? OMG...I had the funniest dream about you guys....and I know it was you guys but I don't know how I do (one of those crazy dream things)...You were in the Princess Suite and you decided to carpet steam the rugs. You weren't mad about it and it wasn't like you HAD to do it...you just happily wanted to. I hope you guys have a wonderful time without any cleaning!!!!! Enjoy your trip!

Have a great day, all....

Channing

Oh my gosh that is hysterical! It's especially weird because Alex has severe asthma and we request that our room is deep cleaned before we get in there so he does not have any attacks.... but how would you know that?! So crazy!!!!!

I do loves me some steam cleaning though. I heart my hoover steam cleaner!

 

[FeeFeeWhite]

We will be celebrating two birthdays at GF (one 14, one 75). Any ideas about having a little party atmosphere added to the cabana?

Chan: If you can't think of something, please just dream one up tonight for me in your sleep.

No Silly Questions Here! All Friends

That's what I love about it here....everybody is so nice .

He LOves it Chan , he has no clue that I bumped us to RPC behing his back...he is oblivious...but after they concierge guy met the car this morning he said "Wow! This is the way to go!" So I think RPC (Or at least SL, has a customer for life!!)

I think mine would be the same way.....none the wiser .

Morning, all!! I am dragging myself out of bed earlier and earlier in preparation for next week. I heard the band bus go by at 6:10 am. They are out practicing. Yesterday I got woken up by the sound of hot air balloons over my house! I love that!! They fill up and take off in the field behind our house. I LOVE watching them rise up behind the trees.

Mine started school today . What ever happened to not starting school until after Labor Day??? Boy, how things have changed . My oldest started high school today so I'm a little freaked not knowing how his day is going.....but I guess I'll know in about 2 hours when he gets home . Enjoy the next few days of no school .

I am LMAO at all the multi quoting- enjoy your new "toy" ladies!!

Maybe you could go down early before your time slot and decorate it or put balloons up. I'm sure Chris would help you out! He is really great!

And I am LOL about your request for Chan to dream something up!!!

 

[Lives4Disney]

Lesley...OMG..that is spooky. I didn't even remember it until I was typing my post - then it just hit me! Dreams are weird. I think i have powers. (just kidding) My kids would say the "cooliolio powers" I do sometimes freak my husband out with things I know or knew ahead of time.

FeeFee...ya....what Lesley said!! OK..I have so much GF and Disney stuff going on right now and going thru my head it's no wonder I am dreaming it! It's just crazy. I will see what I dream up for ya tonight.

Mickeynut - Wow...I hope all goes well with your kids..esp your highschooler. My son is going to be a senior this year. I was worried sick the whole summer before he started HS...his best bud had also moved away that summer and I thought he'd be a mess without him and a new environment and all.....These past few years have been the best years of his schooling! He has loved HS and the new friends he's made and the different classes he was able to take. Good luck! Hope it was a good day for your kids. I am dreading the schedule...I have 3 kids all in diff schools at diff times, with dff activities....ugh....It's constant running after 2 pm.

Talk to ya all later!!
Chan

Would Chris be a CB "Cabana Boy"?

 

[lovemy2boys]

Would Chris be a CB "Cabana Boy"?

Yep, he's a CB... I guess he's a CM also.... haha

Thanks.....and I'm sure it went well, but you know us moms....always worrying . He's such an easy-going kid, though, so I'm sure he did just fine . My other son is in 8th grade but he's just going through the same motions as the last 2 years in middle school....so not much worrying about him . Good luck to you with a senior . I shouldn't talk much because mine being a senior is not far off......I'll be there before I know it . I'm glad your son had a great 3 years and I'm sure his 4th will be even better.....senior year is the best . And good luck with all 3 in different schools with all different schedules......I think my head would spin if that were me .

I cant wait til those kids come!!!! Thats what Im looking forward to!

Yes, I woke up at 1:30 and couldnt get back to sleep...my mind was racing! I was nervous but i met everyone and they are all really nice!
