Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog! LINK TO TRIP REPORT!!!


I feel like its just a downhill slide from here....all the way to DISNEYWORLD! :woohoo::woohoo::yay::yay::banana::banana::cool1::cool1: Does that about cover our excitement?

I have had a rough day... and this made me smile. Thanks!!!

Can't wait to hear all about your trip!!!
 
Happy Sweet 16 Days!!! That is awesome how fast that came about.

Tina, husbands ALWAYS wait until the last minute to pack. Your list of last minute things to do sounds great.

I'm trying to leave the best things for last! Thus, I won't go to Target or be getting my hair done until the very end! :banana: And, hey, if my DH ends up with nothing but three t-shirts and a pair of shorts, at least Max and I will be stylishly dressed. :lmao:

We packed some but we have never used ME because we are always driving somewhere to meet up with Mel's family. So we would just hit Walmart or a grocery store.

I know packing all those diapers is such a pain. :headache:

I'll have to just price it out. Thanks.

I have had a rough day... and this made me smile. Thanks!!!

Can't wait to hear all about your trip!!!

:hug: Hope you have a better, more magical day today! Isn't it amazing how news of other people's trips can just make you smile and cheer you up? That's the magic, for ya! And believe....I can't wait to go on my trip and then come back and do my very first TR! :banana:
 
Hopefully, my dear, darling husband will locate his resort wear and start packing...he has to catch up with Max and I who are almost done already!

I learned to just suck it up & just pack my DH's stuff and tell him that if he doesn't like what I picked, he should have packed for himself!!!

Re: Diapers

have you considered ordering them on amazon.com or walmart.com & having them shipped right to the hotel? if you label it correctly the hotel will hold it for you, though CSR may charge since they are a convention hotel. I saw a topic elsewhere on the Dis that gave a list of which resorts charge for holding packages.
 
We got some bad news today and I am just wondering if you have heard anything similar. We found out today that our town has canceled Feb vacation. We have 2 more days that can be missed that can be made up in June, if we miss any more school days after the 2 they will start pulling days from April vacation. I am a bit bummed since I took off almost the week to spend time with Caitlin. We were going to go up to the Disney store and have lunch RFC.

Hope you are making out better than us!

I can't believe you are leaving so soon. :banana::banana::banana:
 

Tina, just two more weeks as of tomorrow!!!!!!!! :yay: :banana: :woohoo: :dance3:

We can do online check-in pretty soon! I cannot believe it! It's coming up real fast now.
No packing done here - I am a last minute packer! ;) :lmao: Friday before we leave will be soon enough! :rotfl2:

Yeah, I won't be packing for my husband. He'll eventually do it himself...after much nagging from. :rotfl: I have thought about ordering them and having them shipped. I was also considering ordering a few other items from garden grocer, but now that you mention it, they are all nonperishables. Hmmm...

I'm a bit surprised that some districts just up and did away with February vacation. I understand some of the logic behind it: we've been off more than we've been on since Christmas, so who really needs a break? Plus, the kids have CMTs and CAPT testing that starts on March 1. BUT... it seems shortsighted for a few reasons; plenty of parents have already made plans, as have teachers and administrators that cannot be refunded this late in the game. This will result in high rates of absenteeism among both students and staff. And who's to say there won't be snow that week, too? I also get that a lot of people would rather be off in April than in February. That said, if my school had announced that decision this week, I'd be really screwed. I'm way inside the window of getting a refund, and it wouldn't be covered by my trip insurance, either. So, its frustrating.

Luckily, I teach at a charter school and we discussed what to do. We also had some extra professional development days that we've since made regular school days, so we're making up days that way.

Sorry, that was a really long response to that question...

I know, Karin, I know! I think we can do on-line check-in (or I can) on Wednesday....and accuweather.com is about to start posting actual forecasts for days when we'll be there! :banana::banana: Truthfully, I actually sort of enjoy the rushing around to get ready at the end. :rotfl: Soon, my friend. :hug:
 
Hi Tina! Just 2 more weeks and the Dis-Breakfast is on! We are sooo excited! Sorry I have been MIA but I have been so super busy with all you snowbirds coming to FL to get out of the snow...hmmm... :lmao:

Seriously, thank goodness business is picking up! Its about time ;)

Your pictures of the snow are just crazy! I do not miss that at all! I have my fingers crossed that there is not more insane weather until after you and your family and Karin and Tom are in FL...I dont want anything to mess up our meet :thumbsup2


No way... I would have never thought such a thing. :rotfl::rotfl:

Whattsamatta Timmy? You dont tease me enough on Kathy's thread you had to harrass me on Tina's?? :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

:lmao: Oh, I know... When I heard Nicki was actually coming into town the very same weekend we were arriving, we started to talk about meeting up to say hi. Realizing that our first night might be kind of difficult, when the plans for breakfast were thrown out, I jumped on that! I was actually able to reschedule our original Crystal Palace pre-rope drop ADR for the following day, so... the rest is history. We are going to have a blast. I'm so excited to be meeting two wonderful Dissers. And thanks, in large part to you, Kathy. :hug: If you hadn't made the CSR thread such a warm, welcoming place I might not have ever started following Karin and Nicki's threads, too! The fact that we're going to meet Nicki and Todd is icing on an already large, sweet cake!

Sure you can't come down for the weekend? :goodvibes

The only thing that would make this trip outstanding is if Kathy and Mark were joining us...you guys would LOVE them (if you dont already!). They are the most amazing couple and I just love them to bits and pieces! I think they would have to kick us out of the restaurant because we would be sitting there for hours and hours just talking up a storm!
 
Hi!!! i am subscribing to your PTR..it's wonderful! I am new to DIS and I really enjoy reading about everyone's adventures (or planning for their adventures) I haven't finished reading all the pages, but I wanted to pop on and say hi!! Your son is adorable!!!

Looking forward to following your adventure!!! :goodvibes

Don't worry about it! This PTR has been hanging around way past its shelf-life. I sort of started it with the thought that if I started a PTR, the trip would have to come, in some form or another. And, well, I was right!

Let me tell you, Nic, if I could find a job in Florida, I wouldn't hesitate to pack up tomorrow! OK, easier said than done, but I am super envious of your weather, especially this year! UGH! Gross. We fly out of Bradley in CT, which is small and all of our storms tend to be during the week, so hopefully we'll be OK.

I agree! I would so love to meet Kathy and Mark. Kathy has been wonderful to me here on the Dis, I could only imagine what she's like in person!

I am so excited for our meet...it was so unexpected, too...so nice!

:welcome: As I said to Nicki, this PTR is soooo old... and I'm about done but I hope this means I'll have plenty of followers for my TR!
 
Aw shucks...you and Nicki are making me weepy eyed. Thank you both so much. Now, let's just hope we can keep our September trip on the schedule.
 
You guys are getting so close. I love packing for a trip, I ususally have it done as far in advance as possible. I love my September trips because when I go to put summer clothes away I just drop some in a suitcase and we're ready!

I just posted over on your PTR, Kathy. I am so, so sorry. I hope and pray that everything will work out OK. And here's another :hug: I know that you were there for me when I needed you last year. No matter what happens, I have no doubt that your and Mark's senes of humor will get you through this.

Yes, we are...in fact...I just realized that our ticker is down to one week and six days!
:yay::yay::yay::yay: I just put all of mine and my son's summer clothes (that I wanted to bring) aside at the top of our closet, so packing's been pretty easy. Now if I could just get our printer work...I could possibly start printing my mousekeeping envelopes, spreadsheets, etc...not to mention the gifts for my Dismeet! :mad: Silly computer printers! It will work out, though, I'm sure.

Beyond that, we don't have much more to do than wait out these last couple of weeks...I do have a hair appointment I'm really looking forward to, though...I haven't gotten my hair done in LONG time.
 
Accuweather.com is already posting the forecast for the first few days of our trip and it looks like high seventies and partly sunny! :banana::banana::banana::banana: Now, I do realize that it could change between now and then, but at least its looking good! :thumbsup2 I would love to be able to get to CSR on Saturday, check-in, and wait for our room to be ready while hanging out at the Dig Site, preferably with a tropical, rum-based, adult beverage in hand! :rotfl: I am happy to report that the evil cold seems to be going away... and I am just getting so excited!!! Could you tell?

Two days 'till on-line check-in! :woohoo:
 
The weather sounds lovely!!!!!!!

I hope your room is ready too! Your afternoon with a frosty beverage sounds perfect to me! :thumbsup2 :goodvibes:goodvibes








Whattsamatta Timmy? You dont tease me enough on Kathy's thread you had to harrass me on Tina's?? :lmao::rotfl2::rotfl:

Oh, I'm not teasing you.... I thought you were teasing us about how BEAUTIFUL the weather was down there while we were getting hammered with snow up here.... :confused3:confused3 :rotfl:
 
Congrats on the weather! 70's sounds awesome right about now. Heck 50 sounds fabulous!

Yup...but thankfully, it looks like the storm of the century of this week (Thursday's storm) is heading out to sea. I hope they're right.

Congrats on the weather! 70's sounds awesome right about now. Heck 50 sounds fabulous!

I know....it was 45 and sunny here on Sunday and it felt fantastic!

the weather sounds wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so does the drink :rotfl:

Yes, it does...especially after the winter we've had.

I'm so excited for you guys!! The drinks will definitely be something on my list this trip! :thumbsup2

Thank you! I will absolutely be indulging in one or two adult beverages. Gotta go for that Grey Goose slushie! :lmao:
 
You've been planning for sooo long and it's almost here! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back! The weather sounds soooo fantastic there, lucky you!

Thank you! :thumbsup2 I am so excited. I can't believe its really ALMOST here. Hopefully there will be no major weather issues between now and then! And believe me, I know how long this PTR has been going on...a tad ridiculous, but it was fun and gave me an outlet for a lot over the last several months. Thanks for coming along and I'm looking forward to doing a full TR when we're back.
