Here We Go Again! A PTR Chapter 19- Some PreTrip Ramblings Updated 7/30/09

[cmp1111]

And here is a short video Jim created of Fockerfest

Well, you had to go and make me cry...

The 1st planned meet of out trip is with Michelle and her Family (TheDisneyFamily).

I'm jealous! I'd love to meet them.

The next planned meet is with Angela (askelton) and Mitch.

Still jealous... I love them.

Lastly, is a meet with Theresa, or as we lovingly call her T2 (boysmom5150).

Still jealous - you are hitting the elusive Fockers, huh?

Hey it's not MY fault that Evan's birthday is so early in August. That was bad planning on your part

We interrupt this PTr for a Mini Dis Meet

Dateline....Yesterday
Where....Atlantic City, NJ

So cool! I didn't know Kelly would be there - I love her episode of WNTW! And of course I adore Kat and would have loved to meet KC and the rest...
Sigh.

Anywho, the reason that this very special chapter is dedicated to Tracy

Very cool! Your notebook looks great - I've not fallen into that yet - just used my Passporter.

 

[Hedy]

Great items. Do you guys have lanyards? I fund that they're pretty much essential for EP at Universal.

 

[lisalonglash]

Wow, those pictures sure show how much fun you all had at the DISmeet!!! I'm so jealous! I've never met any DISsers - I hope to fix that this trip!

You'll have so much fun at US/IOA - it's a blast! Your notebook looks fantastic - you're so organized!

Tracy is soooooooooo talented - she rocks!!

 

[PrincessAlways]

Well, I'm finally caught up!!! Wow!!!! Janet you are one organized woman!!!! Don't know how you do it all! Jimmy is a cute one! I love the t-shirt! I've only been to Universal twice....the year it opened & one other time. That stupid Jaws ride!!! It broke down while we were on it & took forever to move again. The next time we tried, it broke down as we were standing in line for about an hour! Haven't been there since then, but it looks like fun now! The resort looks beautiful.

 

[PrincessV]

What a great DIS meet - and with pictures, too?!

This looks terriff!

 

[mrsksomeday]

I am so happy you can use the things I make. I really enjoy doing it. Your update made my day. Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Have a great trip!!

To answer the question...so far no rebooking of the rental car. If anything the prices have been going up as travel day gets closer

There really isn't alot to reprt at this time. The one thing I did do today...online check in If this works, it's gonna be awesome. You can give them a credit card for "necessities if you want, but you don't have too.

Onlione registration...you know waht that menas???

10 Days ​

I also got the merchandise credit email, did you all get that? It is a deal that if you purchase a $500 merchandise credit, you only pay $395. Not bad saving a $100. We never spend $500 on merchandise, but it seemed like a good deal becasue it never expires, so whatever we don't use will be put away for out next trip

I ordered it tonight and it will be waiting for us at check in

What is left to do....not much actually

I won't back until next Saturday (The day before we leave) Sorry if that offends anyones sensibilites (T and Jordan). SO what are my plans for the next 10 days? We actualy have alot on our plate.

Tomorrow, I am working from home. While I won't be in the office I will be actually working, but on the plus side I can get done at the same time.

Saturday Jimmy is having a sleepover with his 2 best friends (They were in daycare together rom the time they were 4 months old). We are going to set up theprojector to the computer and show them a movie outside...our own drive in theater.

Sunday the in-laws are coming over for the MIL's birthday dinner - loads of fun

I work Monday through Thursday next week.

Monday Jimmy has a doctor's appointment.

Thursday I have my hair appointment for a cut, color and highlight (or as Jim says contacting Mars).

Friday will be laundy day and making the ziplock bags for Jimmy's clothes.

Saturday Jimmy and Jim are getting haircuts. I will pack, then go get a pedicure.

Sunday is D-Day...Disney Day

So, are you all going to help me pass the time.

Well, I know T and V will, they are (or will be soon) in the world and will be twittering their exploits, so that should be lots of fun. I can't wait for Lapu tweets to start

 

[KatGarcia]

We may have some of the first drunk tweeting!!!

 

[KathyRN137]

I kind of like all the last-minute running around you have to do before Disney Day... it really does help pass the time so you don't go off the wall!!

...contacting Mars...


Kathy

 

[jordanyosh]

It seems like you'll be busy until you leave...! you aren't packing til the day before

I remember you doing this last summer, too. I think it's such an awesome idea for the kids.

Looks like you're keeping yourself nice and busy for the week. Think it will help the time fly???

Well that email sounds interesting!!! I hope I get one. Like you I don't spend $500 on merchandise, but if it doesn't expire....

Sounds like you have everything under control! It'll be here before you know it!



Just a little side note of my own.......
I'm going to the World for my birthday in Nov with 4 DISfriends!! I can't believe it! We're staying at BLT!!!! OMG!!! Deb is one of the ladies coming along.

[debraW76]

One thing I forgot to mention...they had a monorail too

YEs that is the entire length of it!!!

Too funny! Dutch wonderland sounded like a great trip!

What can I say about Dis Meets? Have you had one? Was it planned or unplanned?

I have never had a dismeet. But yours sounded lovely!

Your AC trip looked like a lot of fun Janet.
