I started my TR ~ A Wish Come True ~ August/September 2009 Pre-Trip Report

Ok - so I am still catching up...

Here are my quiz results...funny isn't it

Your Inner Disney Mom Is Perdita from 101 Dalmatians
Save your quiz results
Whether you are mom to one, 15 or 99, there is more than enough room in your heart for all. You are always around to listen, to offer advice and to give plenty of hugs and kisses. You are an incredibly loyal friend and partner, and can always sense when there's trouble (you've been known to start a Twilight Bark or two). Your kids sometimes might call you a "worrier," but you are just trying your best to protect them against the world's evils — or DeVilles, as the case may be.

And I believe the Key Lime Pie was the other vey yummy dessert I've read about!

I will be sure to have someone order this as well!!

CS places at Epcot if not wanting to venture out into the ethnic foods...

Electric Umbrella in FW...yum burgers indoor eating too

Liberty Cafe (pretty sure that is the name) in USA Pav in WS...we ate there just this past trip (recent post in the TR)

Grocery list looks good. sandwiches are always nice too for a bite by the pool too.

I think the grocery list is gonna be a stumper for me too on the next trip w/ first time staying DVC....going to take a few trips to get it down. But if you plan according to what meals you would not be eating on in the parks...that should be a nice rule of thumb to go by

It's getting close...fun to see your to-do-list windle down...

Yes it's getting really close...my list is not dwindling as fast as I like...but I plan to get a bunch on things done this weekend.

I'm going to second the suggestion to try Sunshine Seasons. There is a lot of variety there and fairly common food...nothing out of the ordinary...that will appeal to the picky eater. (Oh..and I had that strawberry shortcake and it WAS good!) The burgers at the Liberty Tavern in the USA pavilion are tasty too.

The grocery list looks good. Those are a lot of the same items I pack...not the eggs/bacon, etc, of course....but the snacks. Lunchmeat is always a good idea. My boys like to just roll it up and eat it as a snack.

Don't you love to see items get crossed of your list!!

I think that Sunshine Seasons is a go...I believe it was reading one of Tammy's (OneTreeHillAddict) many TR's and the pictures she had made my mouth water!!

Hey Hun,

I know I have been MIA for quite sometime.....was off vacationing so I had to catch up first. Loving the TP so far so good. My only suggestion would be to work in getting fast pass for EE on your AK Day as this attraction is sure to have a long long line later in the day..... I also sent you a PM

looking foward to more....
Shakisha

Welcome back!! I am sure we will "tweak" the plan a little. Especially at AK...based on what you all are telling me.

Ok - so I am still catching up...

I think most of us produced the same results!

Okay, so we have less than 2 weeks before we leave and I have to say I didn't accomplish a whole lot this week. Being really had me not want to do much. But lets see what I did accomplish:
So I figured I needed to get myself in order and plan out the things that I needed to do each week. I figured I would post at the end of each week, so you can see all that I accomplished…or didn’t . So here it goes:


Create a master spreadsheet to hang on the fridge at SSR
Start packing the boy’s clothes; figure out what is left to buy (still have a few things that I need to get for them...made another list)
Make arrangements for Legend…oh yeah I need to introduce the other member of our family.
Rethink/write our grocery list now that we are in SSR
Order trading pins from Ebay (just waiting for them to arrive)
• Finish Touring Plans – print and laminate
• Start packing my clothes to determine what I need
• Get Jeff’s clothes together to see what he wants to take.
• Make t-shirts – about 10 total
• Make ID cards for the boys
• Make LGMH
• Finish making the surprise DVD for the car ride…thanks OregonMommy for the music!!
• Gather all the PSP & GB games up…order more GB games from Ebay
• Purchase camera…and test it out prior
• Make journals for Jeffery…figured it would give him something to take to school to share his experience.
• Clean the house!!! I want to go through all of the closets and get rid of things we don’t need.
• Braid my hair…going to be too hot to deal with everyday.
• Get oil change and tune-up.
• Print mapquest directions to compare with the gps.

Well looking at it, I think that I got more done than I thought! Well I am going to cook dinner and I will come back later with the rest of my TP. I still need to get the ink so that I can print the things that I need for TP and tshirts.

Thanks for reading!

sorry to hear you are sick...but better here than down there huh

glad you were able to get a few things done on your list too. Have a good last two weeks till WDW!

Just dropping by to say hi! and see how things are going!! Also I do now believe that our Pool Party on the 27th was changed to POP because Danica was going to be somewhere and you either were going to be getting in late or going to be somewhere but you can definitely double check with OneTreeHillAddict to make sure!

Yeah we won't be there on the 27th...we check in on the 29th. I do believe that the 2nd is at SSR though. I am so excited.

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

I just needed to say that I finished the surprise presentation for the boys!! I am so excited. I just have one slide that I need to add a picture too...I will post the link to it tomorrow. I "borrowed" some of ideas for my slides from a fellow DISers...just kind of changed the words around a little.

Okay since I need to be up for work in 3.5 hrs...I am going to bed now! I will post the video tomorrow.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Can't wait to see it!

 

[tinkerbell3747]

I just know I am going to cry when I see this one.....very much excited for you guys for sure. These are happy tears though.

I can't wait.

Hello All!
I was just looking at the DOI shows and realized the we have one coming to our area in October. It the show Celebrations...not a lot of information on the show on the website, but I was wonder if you guys had any information on it. I am thinking of taking Jahlil...I know that he would enjoy it, so would I ! I may purchase the tickets tis weekend...I want to make sure we get good seats. I am going to avoid the weekend show...may even go on opening night!

Let me know what you think!

 

[ZeroToHero]

I know Lou's dad works at the Garden (our ice rink where they have it here), and for Valentine's Day this year, we went and saw it. Go for it!

I'll try to get tickets again for this - going to look it up now!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

As promised my surprise video for the boys:

[/URL][/IMG]

Let me know what you think...I am still tweaking a little. But for the most part this is what it will look like!

 

[tinkerbell3747]

I did cry.....I love that it is set to the wishes music.....great job!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

I did cry.....I love that it is set to the wishes music.....great job!

Thank you...I have seen some that are more elaborate, but I feel this will do the job for my boys!
