Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! It's Off to Celebrate We Go!--LAST UPDATE!!! PG 62 ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

Maxi so cute!!!!

Megan looks so pretty in her uniform. That is awesome she is so excited about Kindergarten :cutie:

Your plans look great.

I would love to get Trent on EE, but not sure if he is tall enough yet. I really need to measure him I guess :rotfl:


30 more days :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay:
 
Glad to hear your sweet baby is a happy child at school. Makes it nice for everyone. :) She is off an a great adventure, and you'll share it all with her. New things to learn about animals, songs to sing, cute little scribble letters that take more and more shape as the years go by, field trips to all kinds of cool places, programs where she shines on stage, some years with a huge toothless grin.... I could go on, as you know. I did it with three, and in another few years, I'll be starting it all over with grandchildren. It's a wonderful life!

I failed to mention all the times she'll hit you up for money, the mornings you dash back home to pick up homework so that she doesn't get in trouble, the slumber parties that might include some midnight tears for homesick girls, and a few broken hearts in middle school.
But the good far outweighs the bad, I assure you!
:thumbsup2

Now let's talk about Max. He would easily be spoiled in our house, so don't blame the 'grands' if they spoil the little guy. He is too cute!
 
Cherbear---hmmmmm........man, let me just say that I SO miss the original!!! :rolleyes1

OKAY, I began crying reading this....you are so sweet, and paint the picture so beautifully!!!

Then I started laughing out loud when I read this.....SO TRUE!!!! Thanks for that fun trip down memory lane MeMom!!!

Now let's talk about Max. He would easily be spoiled in our house, so don't blame the 'grands' if they spoil the little guy. He is too cute!

I know....he is beginning to be spoiled here.......:rolleyes1 I don't know WHO would spoil such a CUTE doggy?!?!?!?!! ;)
 
Hi, Jen!!! Max is so precious!!! What a cuties!!! Megan looked adorable on her first day of kindergarten! :goodvibes

Woo hoo for one month until Mickey's house!!! How cool is that??? :banana:
 

Okay Jen I know I read that AK is testing a central FP spot... It's Tough to Be a Bug perhaps? That would make Tom's running less for sure!
 
Oh Max and Meg look like the best of friends. He's so cute!! :goodvibes And speaking of cute, Meg couldn't look cuter or more excited about kindergarten. ADORABLE!!!

Your touring plans look good. I must say I am :blush: at the thought that 5 yr olds are considering EE and I'm a big chicken!! :lmao:

Thanks babe!!!! He is so cute.....we are all in love!!! Megs has been having so much fun picking out her uniform selections each day...they have quite a few of them...and LOVES wearing all her school stuff! She is having such a great time! Only a month to Mickey sounds so much better.....except for the fact that I SERIOUSLY need to get my butt in gear and get some packing going on!!!

Okay Jen I know I read that AK is testing a central FP spot... It's Tough to Be a Bug perhaps? That would make Tom's running less for sure!

That's right!!!! Well, that should hopefully help his treks out then!!! HOW AWESOME!!!! Now what would be even better, is if you could just go down the row and get FP for everything at once!!! ;) Now THAT would be SHEER PERFECTION!!! I will have to look up where that FP spot is!!! Thanks sweetie!

Oh Max and Meg look like the best of friends. He's so cute!! :goodvibes And speaking of cute, Meg couldn't look cuter or more excited about kindergarten. ADORABLE!!!

Thanks C!!! She is having a blast...with both Max and Kindergarten!!! Talk about having a BIG week!!!!

I am working on the rest of the plans, and hope to post them up here soon----you can do EE, it was a blast!!!!
 
Okay, so on with more park touring planning......with one special note, these plans are the ones that Tom is concerned about, so they may end up being changed, but of course, you will be notified when that occurs!!!

Thursday, September 24: Depart POFQ at 7am to make it to Magic Kingdom for EMH Rope Drop at 8am. Head straight to Fantasyland and tour through EMH and a little beyond that. Head to Toontown Fair for its' Rope Drop at that designated time. (Does anyone know when this is?) Head straight to Tinkerbell Meet and Greet to see her and the rest of the Fairies!!! Then continue to tour around MK using FP provided by my FP Master, Tom! Lunch will be at the nearest CS once we decide we are hungry. Tour all day and night (we love this place folks) until dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern at 8:40pm. Why such a late dinner ressie???? SO we can depart the park on an empty MAIN STREET!!!!! Ahhhhh.....I can't wait! Go back to POFQ and sleep like babies!!!

Friday, September 25: Depart POFQ at 8am to make it to Rope Drop at Disney Hollywood Studios at 9am. Head straight to TSM---Tom will get FP, and we will hopefully hit the queue for a ride in the Standby line too! Then take in VofLM (9:45), Playhouse Disney (10:30), Toy Story Friends Meet and Greet, One Man's Dream, Magic of Disney Animation (maybe), and the GMR. At some point, Tom will probably head over to get a ToT FP, and then we will have CS for lunch---probably Pizza Planet. Then we will take in the Cars Meet and Greet, Muppets 3D, Star Tours, and possibly the Backlot Tour. At some point we want to give Megs some time to play in the HISA Movie Set, and see one of the afternoon BB shows. If time and Megan permit, we will also watch the Pixar Parade and Indiana Jones show. Our plans right now are to do another CS for dinner, and then Fantasmic at 8pm. Then, head "home" to sleep!

Saturday, September 26: Depart POFQ at 7am to make it to our 8:10am ressie at Crystal Palace. I may then take Megs back to try to stop in at Tink's shop to "Wake Up Tink!" We will see! We will then tour the entire park (MK) using FP, etc. based upon our wishes and desires for what we want to see. Today is going to be "Parade and Fireworks" Day.....we are going to make sure that we see the afternoon parade before we head to our 5:10pm dinner ressie at Tony's Restaurant, and then we want to catch Spectromagic and Wishes this night before the park closes at 10pm.

Sunday, September 27th: "MEGAN'S BIRTHDAY DAY!" This is not her official birthdate--it is actually the 29th--but she keeps referring to this as her BIRTHDAY DAY, so we are going to treat it like it is! We will depart POFQ around 8am to make it to Rope Drop at 9am at Magic Kingdom. We will start touring wherever Megan wants, and will ride only what the Princess requests. At 11ish, we will head towards Cindy's castle to make it to our 11:30am BBB appointment for our Birthday Princess. This will probably set us right up to then get ready to check in for our 1pm lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table!!! EEEK!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! The remainder of our day, will be following the directions of one little Birthday Princess!!!! She can ride whatever she wants, eat whatever she wants, and do whatever she wants until she can go no more!!!! We will also have her pick out something that she can take back as treats to her class on her birthday. MK is open until 11pm for EMH....we shall see if we can make it through all of them!!!! This is our last park day, so I know we will all be sad about going back to our hotel this night!!! :guilty::guilty::guilty:

Monday, September 28th: We will load up the "Family Truckster," complete our express check-out and leave our home away from home to head over to the Grand Floridian for our 9:30am breakfast at 1900 Park Fare with Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland. We will fill our bellies, Megs will gaze in wonder at two of her new favorites, and we will sweetly reminisce over the amazing vacation that we just enjoyed!!!! At some point, Tom will drag me kicking and screaming back out to the "Family Truckster" and drive us home........I think I will need a valium!!!! ;);):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl2::lmao:


So there is the remainder of our extended plans....for the time being....before Tom makes me change them....or something new and better pops up on my daily visits to the online dining reservation site.....or I just change my mind.....whatever comes first!!!!

Tom's concern over the plans for Thursday and Friday is that those parks are going to be too crowded to enjoy, but I then again remind him it is SEPTEMBER.....we will just see.....I think he wants to flip flop them, but that will mean no Fantasmic....so we will see what it ends up being!

These plans may also change slightly when we are down there to allow us time to come back for naps and swim breaks. Tom and Megs say they don't care if we stay at the parks all day, but this wise Momma, thinks that may just be too much for a whole week. We shall see..........



In my next update: THE MK MUSTS, LOVES, and DON'TS!!!!!

 
Jen, I meant to ask you this yesterday, but I must have gotten distracted.

Sorry I didn't quote your last post about AK but you said at 8:35 you had a ressie at Tusker House, and then you said Tom was going to make a fast pass run at park opening...so does that mean he will leave the restaurant for a few minutes to get y'all some fast passes? That's actually not a bad idea, I never thought of that!
 
Your days look great.

How fun for Megan to have her birthday day and do whatever she wants....princess:
 
What great plans Jen!!!! Meg is going to be such a gorgeous birthday princess and how exciting that she gets to dictate the day to whatever her heart desires!! If I'm not mistaken it will be on her special day we might run into you guys!!!!

As far as Toontown goes I would be there by 9:45am they are known to do the rope drop around that time...maybe even a little earlier so you're closer to the front of the line to get to the faries...I have done this twice and never have had to wait more than 20 minutes to see them!!!
 
I second JenJolt on the Tink. Better to wait 15 -20 minutes before they open than 90 after it opens.
 
Very cute puppy and an absolute darling school girl. I'm glad she was excited for her first day of school!
 
Hi Jen! What fantastic plans that you have laid out for your trip!!!
Megan will have a great trip!
And, I probably don't need to tell you this, but Max is the name of Goofy's son!! SO, I think that Max is an appropriate name for a Disney lovin family. ;)
 
I am so far behind and have just been skimming your report but the plans look great and I can't believe you are already under the one month mark. :banana: Glad to hear that Megan is loving kindergarten! We send Doug off to his first day on Friday. It's so hard to believe we are there already. My how time flies!!

Max is so stinkin adorable, I could just eat him up!!!

YEP!!! I had told him that I would go run to get it, and he said, "Why? I'm the FASTPASS MASTER!!!!!" :goodvibes He is so proud of his FP prowess!!!! If we aren't done, then at 9am, he will run down to go grab some, and then come back!!! I don't think those two things are too far away from each other.....I will have to go grab my AK map and look!

ooh, neato! Let me know if anyone finds more info about this

I need to go look this back up too!!! I'll let you know if I find anything Cherbear!!! :goodvibes

And tell Tom that Cheri aka Cherbear also says "It's September!!"


I KNOW!!!!! :confused3 What is he thinking?!?!?!?!!? I think he may feel differently about all that worry once we get down there!!!

Your days look great.

How fun for Megan to have her birthday day and do whatever she wants....princess:

Thank you!!!! Miss Megan is DEFINITELY rocking out her inner princess on this trip!!! I feel fortunate that we can do that for her!!! She is one happy little girl!

What great plans Jen!!!! Meg is going to be such a gorgeous birthday princess and how exciting that she gets to dictate the day to whatever her heart desires!! If I'm not mistaken it will be on her special day we might run into you guys!!!!

That is the day we could run into each other----so look for a pretty, pretty princess with two proud parents in tow...that will be us! :goodvibes

Okay---so does Toontown open up at 10am every morning?!?!?!? This is an EMH morning, so I wasn't sure if opened up any earlier. You know I will be planting myself at that rope by 9:45 at the latest!!!! She is so excited to see Tink....we are willing to wait as long as we need to for her, but hopefully if I play my cards right we won't have to wait too long!!!

I second JenJolt on the Tink. Better to wait 15 -20 minutes before they open than 90 after it opens.

I have learned from the best.....I hope this works for us too!!!

Very cute puppy and an absolute darling school girl. I'm glad she was excited for her first day of school!

Awwwww.....thank you!!!! She can't wait for Monday to go back!

Hi Jen! What fantastic plans that you have laid out for your trip!!!
Megan will have a great trip!
And, I probably don't need to tell you this, but Max is the name of Goofy's son!! SO, I think that Max is an appropriate name for a Disney lovin family. ;)

Thanks sweetie!!! Megan can't WAIT!!! I did know that about Max....we kept thinking she would name him something more obviously Disney, but she was very set on MAX!!!

I am so far behind and have just been skimming your report but the plans look great and I can't believe you are already under the one month mark. :banana: Glad to hear that Megan is loving kindergarten! We send Doug off to his first day on Friday. It's so hard to believe we are there already. My how time flies!!

Max is so stinkin adorable, I could just eat him up!!!

HEY SWEETIE!!!! I hope you and that new baby doll of yours are doing well!!! It is getting so close that I am now getting into a little panic mode....but not too bad!!!

Megan loves kindergarten....I am sure Doug will too!!! Time has flown much too quickly for my taste....I want the pause button on life!!!





Happy Sunday Morning everyone!!!! I am enjoying quite the peaceful start to my Sunday.....Max woke me up an hour ago to go outside, and so I decided to hop on and DIS now that I am awake!!! Everyone else in the house is peacefully slumbering away still.....even Mr. Max went back to sleep on my feet!

Well, we hit that momentous month mark, and things have been rolling right along......

I was able to go out Thursday and Friday and do some serious shopping for myself!!!! I did some SERIOUS damage at Old Navy....got like 6 shirts and an undershirt tank for only $50. I also hit Lane Bryant and scored 5 pairs of shorts/capris and another cute tank top for only another $50. SO my wardrobe needs are pretty much taken care of, and I think I will look sassy.....or maybe even SNAZZY while down at Mickey's house this year!!!! WOO HOO!!!! I am still going to bring my assortment of Disney shirts to complete the mix, but I am tickled pink with my ensemble selections!!! I still need to get some new undergarments (don't ask me why, but I always buy new ones before I go on vaca?!?!?), but I think I can tackle that without a problem in the next week or so. I have reached the point that I can see the pulling out of suitcases going on in the next couple of days.....you all know I how I LOVE to pack!!!! Here are some of my tops:




I also have one like the argyle one in plain white. There are two other tops that I can't find on the Old Navy site, but are REALLY cute too! To top off all my lovely shopping successes, we returned home yesterday from my godson's birthday bash to find our DISNEY DOCUMENTS in the mail!!!!!! That is one of my FAVORITE things to find in the mailbox....getting them always make me SO happy!!!:dance3:

Coming up this week: MK's MUSTS, LOVES, and DON'Ts, and probably a packing list.....or two!!!! ;)
 
What great deals you got :thumbsup2

I love the argyle is so cute

Yay for Disney Documents

:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:
 
Great shopping deals! You are going to look sassy and snazzy!!!
