I forgot to say... Happy birthday girl!!!

I think just say something about it in this PTR in another color and wait to start that PTR until it's closer to your trip.

Thanks!!!!

Okay...I think I will do that. I probably shouldn't/won't start that ptr until I get back from December, because then I can just focus and will be 4 months out which is still good time!

 

[princess_momma]

Okay so from here on out:

Purple = update about August trip
Red = update about April 2011 trip

So...I recently found out that my dad has some sort of time share that you can convert your points into points with other time shares and basically, we can stay in the DVC resorts. (Everything is all booked for my upcoming August trip.) I guess my dad never even realized this because we could've stayed deluxe for our trip last December too!!

So, because we haven't used any of these points yet, we basically have A TON. Enough for a two week trip. A two week trip in deluxes. And not even studios, but I could go for multi-bedrooms. HECK YES!!

So I'm thinking of splitting it up. I know that most of my friends would only be able to come for a week because of school and work and stuff...so you are all invited too to come whenever!! No but seriously. (JEN!! You better be there...)

Quick question: Are the 3 bedrooms in Saratoga Springs the Treehouse Villas? I'm not sure! But that would be fun to stay in those treehouses!!

Anyway, I'm thinking of either Boardwalk or the Beach Club for the first week when I actually turn 21. They're really close to each other and I do like the look of each. I'm thinking maybe Beach Club may be better because of Storm Along Bay!!

Then the following week, I'm thinking Bay Lake Tower! I just love how it looks and I would just die with an MK view. I think that would be so amazing! My 2nd choice for week too would be AKL.

So...yeah. I'm so excited. People already think I'm crazy for wanting to spend my 21st birthday there. But this way I can bring my favorite little man! And seriously...how happy can a celebration be if the person you love the very most isn't there?! So I'm super duper excited. I can book in June!! Let me know what you guys think!

Happy Birthday!



Whoa! I didn't know you had started a PTR for your December trip. Must go over there next!

I really don't remember my first concert. How sad. I think it was some country guy at our University here in town, but I can't be sure. The first one I remember, though was Goo Goo Dolls when I was a freshman in college.

I'm glad you decided on Chef Mickey's!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

Is TL WAY better for kids or just way better in general?

I think it's way better for the kiddos, but that's just me

Then the following week, I'm thinking Bay Lake Tower! I just love how it looks and I would just die with an MK view. I think that would be so amazing! My 2nd choice for week too would be AKL.

HOW EXCITING!
I really hope my Spring Break falls on the week of your birthday, that would be so cool

BLT? That would be SO COOL!
Hehe, I'm so excited for you lol

 

[blue and green]

subbin!
v. exciting that you have 3 trips in the works right now!

 

[jenny105]

My first concert was NSYNC! How mortifying that is looking back at it now.

I like the idea of breakfast at Chef Mickey's on your last morning.

I saw NSYNC too! I am a boyband FIEND!



Kimmy, give me dates for April 2011 and I'll try to make it happen. That would be fun! They have Treehouse Villas that are 3BR and a 3BR grand villa at SSR. I researched the heck out of it. I don't think there are many grand villas available so it'd probably be easier to get the treehouse villa. I keep checking back on the TA rate I have to see if I can switch to the treehouse. I think they look so cool!

 

[deslynnpatterson]

happy belated bday girl!!! your plans still sounds great and staying in the treehouses sound amazing!! your so lucky that your dad has all of those points thats awesome!!!

That is quite sad you don't remember your first concert!! Oh well...it happens! The Goo Goo Dolls must've been good though!!

I love Chef Mickey's!

Hehe, I'm so excited for you lol

Good to know about kids at TL!! Thanks!!

That would be so exciting if your Spring Break was during my birthday next year!! There's a good chance!! You will have to let me know!! Did you just stay at the main Contemporary or BLT? I will have to go read your old trs!!

subbin!

Boy bands are simply amazing! And I totally just saw on ticketmaster this weekend that BSB is going on tour but apparently the jerks don't think Colorado is worth a stop! RUDE!!

I'm pretty sure a treehouse would be AMAZING!!

happy belated bday girl!!! your plans still sounds great and staying in the treehouses sound amazing!! your so lucky that your dad has all of those points thats awesome!!!

Thanks so much!!

I really would love to stay in a treehouse!!

Hey guys!! I hope you all had a good and relaxing weekend!! Mine was pretty great!! I had the Rodney Atkins concert on Friday and I went with Stephanie! It mostly good. I was a little disappointed because two of my other friends were supposed to go and just bailed. One was supposedly there but didn't feel good and just left. Then the other "fell asleep". Thanks guys. The actual concert was really good. Stephanie and I had many laughs and loved the music and we had a great time by ourselves. Then when we were leaving, we ran into somebody not good and it was just awkward and left me feeling upset. Oh well. The rest of the weekend I just relaxed.

Anywho...some exciting news. Stephanie and I are going to start training for a half marathon! We really wanted to do the Princess Half Marathon but everywhere I looked says it's full this year...so we'll do 2011, I guess. We'll probably run a few before then locally instead of training for nearly 2 years for one. So wish us luck with that. Especially me. She used to run, but I've NEVER run. I used to cheat on all the mile runs in gym class. Yeah, I'm going to need some serious help with this.

On another note, Dillan will be living in Florida by mid-June. He said depending on whether he finds a job and can get time off and all that, he may join us on this vacation. He'll at least stop by for a night or two. (Or I will hunt him down and he will suffer serious injuries.)

And guess who is 105 days away from vacation?! This princess!! Which also means that I'm 5 days away from my double digit dance!! Stephanie and I will be making a countdown soon with Mickey head paints!! I had already started to label a ton and make one but then Landon got a hold of it! That little hooligan!! (Which reminds me...any of you who are friends with me on FB should check out my new video of him!! We were reading his Lion King pop-up book and he sees the lions and starts roaring!! It completely melted my heart! I got it on video! I love that little whippersnapper!!)

 

[princess_momma]

Oh and I also wanted to add some "must-buys" for when I go!!

First...a bathrobe for the Hollywood Tower Hotel!!

I'm in love with the Tower of Terror. I'm pretty sure I'm just going to have to buy out the whole gift shop...haha. But DEFINITELY the bathrobe. Me and Lauren are going to wear them when we ride in December and buy the pic. We're really cool...

Second...the Dooney and Burke Disney bag!

Personally...I'm not real big on the whole "designer" purse thing. Maybe it's because I'm not big on purses? This is the only one I would (WILL) willingly drop money on. I can't wait. Then me and tinkgurl can match!!

I also need to get Landon some new ears. The only ones he got last time saw "First Haircut" on the back and he got it from the Harmony Barbershop. So cute. I think I may have to get him a pair every trip. I'm also contemplating getting me some. I don't like the ones that take over your whole head, but rather the ones that are just a headband. I don't have any. Do you guys?

Wait...wait...confession time. I do have a pair. I usually don't tell people so they don't poke fun...but I seriously have a pair of the bride ears. Yeah...me...the girl with no boyfriend. Not really even close to having a boyfriend. I just felt the urge to buy some off ebay and I hide them in my closet and dream of the day I get to wear them.

 

[Dancegrl624]

I love the bathrobe!!! I don't think I've ever seen it before. I adore ToT, but my legs are always shaking by the time I get off. The only thing I think about while walking through the gift shop is not to fall down! Anyways....Landon definately needs a pair of ears with his name on the back. It's a must have for every kid (or grown up). I LOVE my Minnie Mouse headband. You should definately get one. I think the silver sparkle ones would fit you to a T!!!!

 

[jenny105]

I love that bag! I would love to buy one but I'm sure it's a ton of $$

Good luck training for the half marathon. I've been thinking about starting to run (exercise more in general actually) so maybe we can be a support system for each other because I am in the same boat as you. I don't run! And I used to cheat on the mile too!

That's too funny! I just love all the adrenaline that ToT gives me!! I'm beyond excited to see what new sequences they add for the summer!! I can take pics of the entire gift shop if you want so you can see whats there while sitting quietly at the computer.

I will definitely be on the look out for the perfect pair for Landon. Maybe we will design them. I've seen the Cars kind that have wheels for ears and I thought they were SUPER cute. So maybe I will get those. Who knows? I also REALLY want to get him one of those Goofy hats. His head was too little for any of the m last time though. I'll look out for some super cute Minnie ears too!!

The bags run around $200, I think. I just love it though. Somehow its $200 I think I can part with because I am so in love with that bag!!

I ran last night!! I even got a jogging stroller off Craigslist for $30! We can totally be a support system though! I will need it. I almost died last night!! My friend said we needed to run with scheduled breaks (she's trained for a half marathon before) so she told me to run 2 minutes and then walk 1. I really almost died. I never run that much. I don't think I even did a full mile. I'm sooo out of shape!

hey u can use the excuse that the bride ears were a good buy and you would be saving money in the future.

If you go on http://www.womenshealthmag.com/run they have a plan you can follow. It basically gets you from alternating walking and running to being able to run more consistently so you don't feel like you're going to die lol. That's what I'm going to start following when I get off my butt and actually start this!

Good call!! Sometimes I think I should just wear them to the parks now anyway for the perks!!

OH and for MickeyisBeast and also everyone else, here's Landon's newest video!!



I love that little hooligan.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

That is too cute!
Thanks a bunch for sharing

 

[__disneygirl]

I was just in WDW and missed a lot of this but I am back. First of all, that is the CUTEST video of Landon! My cousin Nicolette is almost 10 now, I can't believe it... but she used to do the same thing when she was a baby. A tiger was the first animal noise she learned and we had her going "ROARRRR!!!!!!!" all the time. I miss those days.

I also want the Tower of Terror robe so bad! I have for years! I just never wanna drop the $50 to get one but I think I definitely will on our next trip. I love the idea about wearing them on the ride, that is hysterical!

Also.. I totally love you for buying the bride ears even though you don't have a BF. That sounds like something I would do. I haven't yet but I always think "I should buy those in advance!! For good luck!!" I want a Disney Wedding!

How exciting that you have THREE trips coming up! So jealous + I can't wait to read more!!!
