Hey Heather! I came over from my ptr. Your plans sound great - the deluxe dining plan is the bomb! Do you plan to post pics of your Disigns shirts once you get them made? I'd love to see them!

Glad you stopped by!!
I am very excited for the DxDP!! It will be a first for using any type of DP..but I like the sound of trying the restaurants that we probably wouldn't if paying OOP!!
Yes, I will post pics of our disigns shirts once I get them made!! I really need to start on them but I have yet to get my printer replaced!! I asked for a new printer for Mothers Day! Hopefully I can get one next weekend! (DH is out of town this weekend but said we will celebrate MD when he gets in next weekend!

Here is my first attempt of making cake pops!
Smaller Versions for the 'Grandmas'

Gifts for Mom's

Here's all of the baskets I made along with the help from my Sister-in-law...we had fun making these!

Hope all the Mom's out there had a Happy Mother's Day!!

[martinolichfamily]

Thanks so much!
I did have a good Mother's Day....spent Saturday w/My Mom & Stepmother..then Sunday spent the day at my in-laws w/all the family! My DH is in FL for business and HE got to spend the day at Disney World yesterday!! The kids and I were just a little bit jealous! haha But I did give him a 'list' of items to get for the kiddos! He picked up the "2010" Mickey & Minnie plush (I am going to put these is the kiddos backpack as a surprise for when we go in July) and DH picked up DD a charm bracelet w/Mickey, Minnie & Tinkerbell charms and DS asked for a glassblown dragon (he got one of these last trip)!

Our Trips are getting closer...so exciting!
Is your DS getting excited too??

Hope you had a good Mother's Day as well!!

Hello Heather!
finally made it back and caught up w/the use of your table of content...so, if you had any major changes I'm not aware of them...

I love how you plan to use the EMH seems to me a very well laid out plan and not rushed...I have never been to WDW at that time of the year so I not sure what type of crowds you are dealing with. I really like how you incorporated your water parks days into the middle of your days. Danny and I said next time we are going to work in a down down right in the middle of our days...

I can't wait to hear about the hoop de do revue...I have always wanted to try that!

you have a beautiful family and you guys did a great job with your countdown calendar...can't wait to see your tee designs!

Have a great day!
Connie

 

[longing2Batdisney]

OH! BTW what great cake pops! too cute and yum-mo!
how lucky for DH to be in WDW...I skipped the 2010 Mikcey this year will probably be sorry in a month or so but it was the larger Mickey this year and I really liked the smaller one last year. But, I do love the idea of surprising the kiddies with it...how cute!

Hi Connie! Glad you got caught up!
I don't have any major changes really....i don't think at least!
We EMH (the late night ones)....everything is not open but I do believe the main attractions are though and not very crowded..it's great! After staying on grounds last trip, I dont think we could stay off grounds again!
Last trip we had no plan!! So...i am anxious to see if my planned out days work for us! I hope they do!
It was hard to decide between HDDR or Mickey's Backyard BBQ...BUT being that it is going to be July and hot....I went w/the dinner that's INSIDE!
I sure hope to get a new printer this weekend and T-shirt making supplies so i can start on them! Time is going by..... 50 days....

OH! BTW what great cake pops! too cute and yum-mo!

The cake pops were fun & a big hit among the Moms & Grandmas for Mother's Day!
Yes...DH was lucky! I wanted to small Mickey & Minnie too to fit in the kiddos backpacks....hope these larger ones will fit!
Thanks for reading along!

I did have a nice Mother's Day. I went to my mom's in Kentucky. Tom had to work but we went to dinner that evening.

Yes, DS is getting very excited (and so am I). It is 50 days from today when we actually leave and 51 until we get there! I can hardly wait. Jeremy announced this week that he can't wait to ride Tower of Terror! I hope he is actually able to do it this time as I really want to give it a try. If not, there is always next time!

Hi Heather!

LOVE those cake pops!!! I would love to be able to make something like that! Unfortunately I'm not too creative in the kitchen. So super cute though!

Glad you had a nice mothers day!

Just paid off our Disney trip!!
I had switched my reservation over to a TA a few weeks ago. This is my first time using a TA.

I bought a new printer yesterday (been w/out for months now) and I am loving it! Now I can get to work on my shirts for Disney!

I also ordered the kiddos Tie Dye Mickey shirts this morning! Super excited to see them!


Also.....we went car shopping last night....found a 2008 Expedition that we fell in with!! DH will be taking the buyer's order to the bank tomorrow when he pays his truck off!!

We are also getting a new camper...actually we sold our bumper pull and buying my MIL's fifth wheel!! They decided to order a brand new fifth wheel...so why not take the other off their hands!
We will be taking a camping trip to the river the day after school gets out w/the family!

Other than that....school will be out in 2 weeks!!

47 days til Disney!!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

 

[martinolichfamily]

On to the Plan for Day 8 (July 9th)..... All Parks!

So sad that this will be our last full day at WDW...last day to fit in all of our favorite attractions in all of the parks!

Our Breakfast ressie is for Tusker House @ 8:15a. This is another first for us!
AK opens at 9a so we will be in before the park opens!

Looking forward to riding Dinosaur again! We this ride! Last year we rode about 3 times in a row! It is great! I missed out on Expedition Everest last year....hoping to get to ride this time around!

Park Hopping time.........Hollywood Studios!

I have a ressie for Sci-Fi Dine-In for lunch @ 2:30p...this will be a first too!

After lunch we will try to fit in our favorite attractions.

Park Hopping time again.........Epcot!

Of course....Test Track will be a must do again! We all this ride too! DD will hopefully be tall enough to ride and I hope that she likes it!
We will wonder around and do others as well.

If there is any time in between here....we might go back to our resort for a bit.

Park Hopping time yet again...........Magic Kingdom!

MK has EMH this night til 2a!!!!

We have dinner ressies at Tony's Town Square @ 8:45p.

After dinner we will just take advantage of the EMH and enjoy the last night at WDW.

Let's hope that all goes smooth this day in order to get to each park at least for a bit. What a busy day!

For the shirts this day....both kiddos will wear Animal Kingdom shirts (breakfast is @ Tusker House).


Next........... Our last morning to wake up in WDW!

The plan for Day 8 looks great! Congrats on paying off your trip!

I finally came over to check out your PTR! I'm only on page 5 and I need to get to bed but I'll get caught up soon! I wanted to comment before I forgot what I was thinking:

BBB - We went to MK in the morning and then went back to POR for lunch. Jilly changed into a white tank and shorts and then we headed to BBB for a 3:15 appt. She had the long style because I didn't think the back of her hair would stay up in a bun. We had dinner ADRs at 1900 Park Fare at 7:20 (but weren't seated until closer to 8PM). She didn't complain at all about having the dress on for that amount of time, and she fell asleep on the way back to POR that night. The next day she wanted to take her hair down so I went ahead and washed it out. The BBB was her favorite part of the whole trip!

MK breakfast - at the Maint St. Bakery we had a DELICIOUS ham & cheese croissant, cinnamon roll and strawberry smoothie and it counted as one quick service meal credit. We added one more smoothie with a snack credit and that was plenty of food for the three of us!

Can't wait to read more!

Thanks! That little confirmation email makes it all feel more real and that time is ticking away!!!

Glad you stopped by!
I cant wait to see Jilly's BBB photos!! I will have to show my DD. I always see the bun style hair do on everyone so I am looking forward to seeing the other style! Not sure what my DD will want..hopefully she will go with the bun that way it is up off her back and will hopefully stay put until that night for dinner! Wow! Ya'll hace a bit of a wait at 1900PF for dinner.
What package did Jilly get at BBB?

Yum-o! I a ham & cheese croissant!! I will have to remember that!!
Thanks for that little info for breakfast!

On to the Plan for Day 9 (July 10th)..... Departure day.

BUT before we leave....we must have Breakfast!

We have a ressie for breakfast w/Alice & the Mad Hatter!
1900 Park Fare @ 9:45a

We had originally had breakfast planned at Chef Mickey's for this day but DD requested to eat w/Alice in Wonderland! So...we canceled CM for 1900 PF.
This will be a first for breakfast here!

After we get done eating breakfast, it will be that dreaded time to have to say "Goodbye" to WDW.


For the shirts this day....DD will wear 'Alice' and DS will wear 'Mad Hatter'.


I will keep my fingers crossed that DH will agree and on the way home we will be able to spend a night or two at Destin and enjoy the Beach for a bit.

I have enjoyed writing this PTR! My first!

Hopefully my TR will be much better!


To keep my PTR going, I will be adding various pics from our past trips!

Thanks to everyone for reading along!!



37 Days and Counting......................

 

[Charlefours]

Day 7: I am loving having a "do whatever day" too although the guys are golfing and the gals are doing tea. Other than those, the day is do whatever. Some girl time at DTD sounds like a good time to me. So cute your DD is excited about the countdown calendar!!

The gifts you made for Mother's Day are great!! I have made the truffle version, but not the pops yet. Happy Mother's Day way late--I have been on sporadically and keep missing updates.

for being paid off. I hope to do that the beginning of June. : I hope you have a good experience with your TA!! I would love to get a camper at some point. I am ready to move up from tents! Sadly, I don't think we are going to make it out this summer--too much going on.

Day 8: wow! Your family is going to be the park hopping masters!! I read a TR where a family did all four parks in one day and they had a blast! I think it would be a lot of fun and a great experience. I am enjoying your PTR!! Thanks for doing it.

I cannot believe how quickly your trip is coming up--your ticker is going to be under one month soon!!
