I Saw Mommy Kissing Goofy Claus - Dec '09 - DAY ONE, FINALLY (2/20) - PG# 40

[MadilynnsMomma]

Have fun this weekend! Make that money!

Fun was not had, money was!

4 more in 5 weeks!?!?! You can totally do that!! Keep telling her how much she owes it to herself to go out and treat herself and do nice things for herself. It does not have selfish intentions at all because you are actually helping her too!! Really when you think about it, it's down right charitable in a way!!

LOL, I agree with this!

As long as Shamus is on board, it can be done!!!

Anybody else trying to nail a ressie they had and then canceled? I have flip-flopped a hundred and one times with this dang MVMCP dinner/evening. Originally I wanted O'Hana, it wasn't avail at my 90 mark so I got Liberty Tree for 5:30. A few days later, O'Hana opens up and I grab a 5:05 ressie. I remember being really excited. Well now I think I would like to be in the park and not worrying about getting to the party in time. SO, now I sit and stalk the cancel board and the online ressie system... can't ever be pleased?! Think I could just show up at 5:30 with my original ADR conf code and play it off? It may be a last resort... thoughts?

Ehhhh...I don't know if that will work? The one thing that may be in your favor is that you technically are a party of two and would not be taking up much space. You could tell them you are will to sit in the lobby waiting area on the benches and they can bring your food to you there! LOL But, either way, you could try and if they can't put you in, just go counter service instead. It would save you the little bit of tip money. But, LTT is an awesome meal. Of course, Thanksgiving and St. Patty's day are my two favrite meals of the whole year so I'm partial!

The only thing I flip flopped on was trying to see if we could change our CP day, but I honestly couldn't be bothered. I hate to say it, but once everything was set I was kind of like, "Okay looks good enough, we're happy and can work around these ADR's, and I'm just too lazy to mess around with it anymore." I feel a little like a slacker, but I think also what helped is that Greg and I really only planned on doing like 3 ADR's and then when I realized how dumb it was to not use something free we just added more. So we really had no dining expectations, only a few we really HAD to do.

I think Erin is right, do CS on the party night, it's quick and will save you the tip money and you will have extra time to see all the party stuff!!

these adr's are just frying our brains out arent they!! We're just gonna have a cs meal on party night, to give us more time to make the most of the party. We're in MK all that day and are having a late brekkie at CP then a 4pm lunch at plaza and then cs for dinner later in the evening - i'm even thinking of cancelling plaza and just going for a cs somewhere for quickness.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Hope your mail comes soon

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Yay for 40 days!!! We are at 5 weeks! I am actually starting to get some things checked off of my to do list before we leave and that makes it seem closer also! As the list shrinks, the trip grows closer! WooHOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[creativeamanda]

40 days!?! I hit 49 today. It does not seem possible.

 

[nic100308]

YAY!!! We hit 36 today!!! Monday will be 30 days!!! It's so exciting!!! I think all this anticipation and planning (and sometimes re-planning) is part of the fun. I'm not sure it would be the same without the wait.

Eh, we'll wing it... if we're feeling ballsy, we'll give it a try, what's the worst that can happen - they turn us away... no harm in trying!

We probably will take the ease of a CS I think...

As it stands we can go to SciFi at 2, I think we'll do that and then a later CS meal when we're in the mood!

waiting for that call from my AAA guy telling me my mail is in!

Yay for 40 days!!! We are at 5 weeks! I am actually starting to get some things checked off of my to do list before we leave and that makes it seem closer also! As the list shrinks, the trip grows closer! WooHOOOOOOOOOO!

We'll be at 5 weeks on Sunday! EEEK!!! YAY!!!

40 days!?! I hit 49 today. It does not seem possible.

I remember posting on my Myspace: "243 days til Disney!" - Look how far we've come now!!!

YAY!!! We hit 36 today!!! Monday will be 30 days!!! It's so exciting!!! I think all this anticipation and planning (and sometimes re-planning) is part of the fun. I'm not sure it would be the same without the wait.

I love my mom and she lives in Nebraska... last year when we flew out to see her I was not counting down... I knew I wanted to go to the Omaha Zoo, but there was no planning - this trip is SOOO different!!! YAY!!!

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!

I think I would like to dance with you:

 

[MadilynnsMomma]

Scored me another overnight!!! Tomorrow into Friday. AND, we've got one planned for the 7th I believe. WOOHOO!!! Disney Spending Money comes trickling down!!!

So, tomorrow night I will be away. Friday night is date night with muh honey! Saturday is trick-or-treat and Sunday we're going out to "tag" our Christmas Tree. Maybe Saturday during naptime I will get on for some updates. I want to show you the shirts I have purchased for myself & Shamus and also share my lists so far!

Enjoy the rest of your week, and your weekend if I don't see ya!

 

[nic100308]

Have a wonderful weekend, and make that money honey!!! Charity, charity...just remember that Take lots of pictures of Madi on Halloween. I have candy, but we only get like 5 trick-or-treaters. Not a lot of kids in our community, although I swear this year there are more. I think a few families with kids moved in over the summer. LOL I love when they come to the door because I can give each of them a fist full of candy.

Anyway can't wait to hear the update and see the t-shirts. And if all else fails teach Madi to ask Daddy to wear the t-shirt. I'm not sure how anyone can resist that face!!!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Have a great weekend! Take trick or treat pix!!

 

[disneyaddicted]

Have a great but safe weekend, can't wait to see you rDisney purchases.

 

[If U Had Wings]

All of your plans are looking wonderful. Lots of great ADRs! It should be a wonderful trip. A few years ago I went on a family trip to Disney when my nieces's were only 2 and 5. It was wonderful to experience it through their eyes. My younger niece loved Haunted Mansion oddly enough. We were all afraid it would scare her, so we kept telling her before hand that everything was just make believe. When we got off we asked her how she liked it and she told us it needed more ghosts. I'm going to miss them on my trip this year.

I love too that your packing already. I think that means that I'm allowed to start too, since I'll be leaving a day ahead of you.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hoping your overnight went well! Have a Happy Halloween and tell Madi I said Happy Halloween to her too!!

Guess what??!! I only have 33 more days!!!! That is less than 5 weeks!!!!!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

HAVE A GOOD HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!

My trick or treat at home in PA was yesterday. All around here in Ohio it is on Saturday so it's crazy how each area is different!!

Can't wait to see the shirts

 

[JoJo1980]

BOO to you, BOO to you! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend honey

i know, the big toy story mania party on 12/12- i had booked sci fi for 7:25, but then realized the party starts at 9pm and they want us at the front gate to be escorted back since it is a private function and not sure that will happen. i haven't had much luck getting it pushed back- i managed to book online two separate ressies for 7:10 vs 7:25 and figure we will just show up earlier and see what can be done. and now they bumped the party back to 9:30, so that helps too.

really MK is just a short monorail ride away though if you do Ohana, it shouldn't be too bad- just show up at 4:30 there and see if you can get in any earlier???? that is my plan.
