Channing,
Those videos are so funny. My DS was just showing me all of the weird Al videos. He could'nt believe that mom could actually know who Weird Al was. I'm not that old!! Have a great time on your trip.
 
Channing

First of all, I get the same way before a trip. I could almost ruin it for myself. I get crazy with packing, plans and leaving my house just so (I don't know why)!!:rotfl: :rotfl: I have to leave the house completely clean, all the laundry done and ironed!!! Right down to last towels we used to take showers with before we leave.

Then I start to get depressed the trip is here and before we know it, it will be over and I have to count down for another year (since we only go once a year). Its not until we get off the plane and the Orlando Airport some how gets my out of my funk!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, anyway I am so glad Jojo is feeling better. I worry about someone getting sick every vacation. Like I said sometimes it better then get it right before, but she turned out fine TG, thats the best!!:goodvibes :goodvibes

When do you leave!!! I hope you have a great time, but I cant wait to hear all about it and the GF. Can you check out the cabanas for me? I wonder if they turned the other two over. I can book mine next month!!!

Thanks!!
Annette
 
Morning ladies!

Channing: Glad your finally packed! I seriously doubt any Amish are on this message board, or online since they'd need electricity for the computer and they don't have any! :lmao:

Annette: I'm the same way!! :goodvibes I need to come home to a clean apartment. I hate even a cup in left in the sink!! Now that we're a family of four, I'm been doing laundry at the resort. I can pack less and don't have the stress of doing laundry as soon as we get home. I actually don't mind doing it on vacation. It gives me a few hours of mommy-time. :goodvibes I can actually have time to read a magazine!:rotfl:

Well, I totally blew WW yesterday. DH cooked an amazing Palm Sunday dinner. He made home made manicotti and roastbeef. I ate lots of veggies and did my best, I just couldn't keep track of the points. I did manage to lose 1 lb this week, so I'm very happy :woohoo:

I just ordered a ton of PJs for the boys on disneyoutlet.com They're all $5.99. My DS4 loves Cars and they had a lot of styles. I have no idea how all of sudden he outgrew his PJs. :confused3

Anyone know where I can find the Disney Characters drawstring backpacks that they use on goodypak.com?? I'd like to make the boys each a little welcome bag and I can't find the backpack in a "real" store. I just had my credit card info stolen last month from paypal so I'm staying far away from any online store that only accepts paypal. I found them on sale for $5 at disneysmilestore.com but they only accept paypal. I emailed them asking if I could mail them a check, but they're out of the office until later this month. Gotta hit Walmart this weekend in PA, they might have them. We're addicted to Walmart - my whole family. We don't have them here in NYC. As soon as we enter PA, my DS4 announces in the car, I wanna go to Wally Mart:lmao:

Gotta run. DS1 up from his nap and DS4 has a half day today due to St. Pats (Catholic school).

Mare- what was up with the Paypal thing? I use this all the time...now I am a little worried.
 

Mare- what was up with the Paypal thing? I use this all the time...now I am a little worried.

I went online to pay my annual dues for my travel agency (I'm an independent agent - do it part time at home) and I paid with Paypal. My bank called me the next day saying my card was stolen from Paypal and that charges have been made. They knew immediately it wasn't me making the charges. They stopped the card, issue me a new one and credited my account the money but it was such an annoying procedure! I had no debt card for a week! I'm lost without a debt card!!:goodvibes

Just really scared to use Paypal again!:confused:

I know, haha....but I have seen Amish families often at WDW!! So....who knows?? :rotfl: They might sneak a peek at the DIS for planning - maybe at the library?? Do they use those?? :rotfl: :rotfl: PLUS....it never fails...say something about something and offend someone somewhere.

I am off to the dentist. Hopefully all is good. Then I am going shopping. I am still now happy with having the personal style of an Amish Hawaiian.:rotfl: I need new bras, too. Yuck. The only time I buy them is before vacations.:)

Sorry about your Paypal acct. That is awful. :guilty: I hate Paypal I have heard horror stories about them. There is even a website paypalsucks.

Annette
, I will check out teh cabanas and see what's up. We leave tomorrow afternoon!! I am passed the freak out stage and now excited but nervous. :goodvibes

Talk to ya later -

:rotfl: :rotfl: I forgot about the dishes and glasses!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
I do that too!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
TG my family just tiptoes around me and laughs!!:rotfl2:

The funny thing is that once I get in vacation mode, I do nothing!! I NEVER do laundry on vacation. Actually I did it once and got obsessed. I think its safe to say there is no gray area with me!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Channing

I am so excited for you!!!:woohoo: :woohoo:

Thanks!! And have a great time!! I am sure your check in before you leave!!!

Are you staying at the Swan or The Dolphin? When I was on my honeymoon we stayed at the Dolphin, we loved it, but we were upset that your travel agent didn't recommend the GF!!

Hi gals!! :goodvibes

Channing- have a super duper time!!! Don't worry about your DS and the clothes- I wear A&F and he would probably call me Amish too (just isn't cool to like what your mom is wearing! :rotfl: ) I am glad JoJo is better!! Thanks for the info on the duffles- I will check them out!!

Annette- you are just like my MIL with laundry!!!! We always fly out on that 7:30 am flight (which means a 4:30am limo pick up) She and FIL will get up at 2:30am to shower so she can do the towels before they leave :faint: I clean my house, change the sheets the day before etc but even I just leave that mornings towels hanging over the shower door until we get back!! And I, too, REFUSE to do laundry on vacation (thus the reason why we always bring 6 suitcases for the 3 of us on our 10 day trips :rolleyes1 )

Mare- that is so FREAKY about Paypal. I don't have an account (thus the reason I steer clear from Ebay). I would go nuts if that happened to me!!

Hi to everyone else I missed!!

Kristin
 
Channing, is this the luggage??

http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Bags--...goryName=EB~~categoryName=BAGS--GEAR",cs:"0"}

How much do you think it weighs empty? (my rolling suitcases are almost 18 pounds empty :eek: )

Hi, Kristin! Yes, that's the newest version of the luggage I own. My newest set it probably 3 yrs old and then I have a set that is older but purchased at EB online also. I went down and lifted up my huge newer extra large rolling duffle & it weighs nothing....maybe 5-7lbs. Mine does not have the drop bottom. That is part of this newer version so maybe it might make it a little heavier. My older rollers are heavier than my newest even though they are a bit smaller... they are a heavier fabric and they have metal and leather trims but I give those to the 3 kids. The smaller duffles, I bought and use for toiletries, dirty laundry etc. and they weigh NOTHING. The only weight comes from the wheels and there are some metal or plastic supports on teh bottom. I bet the newest version would be super lightweight since my newer are lighter and larger than my older ones.

Well, I unpacked and repacked myself again, haha....Gotta do it at least once per trip. I am so fickle on what I am bringing and wearing. :rotfl: It looks like it's HOT there but I am so not ready for short shorts or skorts.:scared:

Lucy's bus just came - gotta run and make sure she remembered to bring home her stuff!!!! talk to ya later! If you order from EB - use that email8 code to save 20%

Channing, have an awesome trip:cool1:

I am just starting to work on my to do list before the trip.... I just started packing :banana: It seems like the to buy list just keeps getting longer:scared1:
The Bare M are awesome!!! :thumbsup2 I really love it:goodvibes

Hope everyone is having a good day!
Christine
 
THANKS!!!:goodvibes I am sitting here killing time waiting to print my boarding passes in about 10 minutes.:goodvibes :goodvibes

I am getting used to my Bare M stuff, too. that's great you like yours.

I still have errands to run today and need to pick up Enchanted tomorrow before the limo comes. Jojo wants to go to school 1/2 day tomorrow. :confused: Crazy. With all the sickies I'd rather not push it, but she really wants to go.:confused3

I haven't heard a confirmation from the SE limo....maybe I will call. THey USED to always call a day or two in advance to confirm. :sad2:

Annette, we are doing 4nts Swan/4nts GF. :thumbsup2 DH is flying down Friday night to meet us. I am glad! :)

Talk to ya later!
 
howdy ladies!
I will post some pics tomorrow after i get everything else loaded into photobucket. I have some of the GF but nothing oh so fab. LOL
Chan I hope you and your family have a great time and get to visit with our friends. You deserve a nice relaxing vacation.
 
Lives4Disney: Have a great time! Thanks for all of your insights and answering my millions of questions.
I hope you really have a good and laid-back vacation! You deserve it.


I wish we were going this year, but considering that we can't decide where to stay yet :lmao: its probably better that we are not leaving this week...

Hey Lives - Have a great time!:)

If you hear anything about the lobby floor redo, let us know, if you don't mind! Thanks!
 
Thanks, guys!!:goodvibes I will try my best to remember to ask about that marble in the lobby!!! I know several of you will be there in June and that would be a bummer to have construction like that going on.

I have been trying my best for weeks to upgrade my standard view Swan room to a balcony room w/no luck. It was there and I snoozed...and then GONE! :eek: The place is now sold out and I am nervous about the mega crowds!! :scared: We arrive to check in about 9 pm. I will be so disappointed with a dumpster view- and you know me....I will ask to be moved, but it looks like it's sold out.:headache: I don't want to spend my Swan nights looking forward to getting out of there.:rotfl: It will make the trip go by faster. :guilty: That is now the way I am thinking......I shouldn't have done a split stay because the whole time I am at any other place I will be wanting to get to the GF.:rotfl:

I am lame, but I am actually thinking the Bachelor starts tonight.:rotfl2: That makes me happy.:rotfl: :rotfl: How pathetic!!!:rotfl:

I will post from WDW. :goodvibes (I know...you're all going YAY!:rotfl: ) Hopefully from my room in the castle. ;) I didn't win the HGTV "Dream Home", so Lucy and I both think it's our turn for the castle. :thumbsup2 Can't win a new beach house and a night in the castle in one week.:rotfl:

Happy night!

Channing :)
