"I Want To Go Back!!!"....a Sept 2010 PTR(upd 10/12-TR Started!)

[lexmas]

I feel like myself again which is great. The temps have just been so low and I'm sick of all the rain. It's supposed to be 65 today, so that will be a nice change. The weekend looks good and so does next week.

I'll probably be back later and post some trip stuff. I actually don't have anything to do today!!! Well, except go grocery shopping. I haven't been to the grocery store since last Wed and we have nothing to eat. Thank goodness Madison decided to buy lunch today!!!

Glad you're feeling better! I hope the weather starts looking up, I've been keeping the kids inside because I'm boycotting this "spring" we're having. I take them out every day during the winter, but I am not dealing with the cold anymore!

Have fun grocery shopping!

Today is gorgeous!!! It started so overcast but now the sun is shining and I love it! T-shirt, jeans and flip flops = AWESOME!

Meghan, thanks for posting the link to those Old Navy shirts! Too cute! DD is crazy about Toy Story, so I sent the links for those two shirts to DH and told him to keep an eye out. That would be the perfect "Dad's home" gift for him to bring her.

You're welcome! That would definately be a great gift for your DH to bring back.

Meghan, can you PM me the link to those Disney ON shirts? So when I'm ready to buy them, I don't have to go searching through your thread

We only sell them in children's sizes (which is such a bummer).

Hi everyone! I'm finally back with an update for all of you. I'm proud to say I haven't done anymore shopping lately. Well.....except for Friday. Old Navy is having a swim wear sale right now ($10 for adults and $9 for kids), so of course I had to take part in that. As I've said before, my DH has been losing weight (he's up to 25 lbs lost) and he desperately needed new swim trunks. His old ones were falling off of him! Then, I saw a really cute onepiece for Madison, so I had to buy it. I didn't buy anything for myself, so I'm very happy with that. Sorry about no pictures....our laptop needs a new hard drive. It had a total meltdown on Friday. So, I have to use our desktop computer which really stinks. It takes forever to upload pictures. Madison's bathing suit isn't online, so I can't even post a link.

On with the trip stuff!!!! I've made a "must-do" list for every park and DTD. The one thing we have to do at each park is the photopass "magic" shots. We've never done the Baby Simba, the balloons, etc. We've only had Stitch at DHS and Tink at MK. I'm determined to get the other ones!!! So, here comes list #1.

Must-Do's at Magic Kingdom

-Early ADR (got that taken care of)
-Wishes - It's not a Disney trip without me crying during Wishes
-MNSSHP (tickets in hand!)
-Main Street Bakery - cinnamon roll anyone?
-ALL attractions - It can be done and it WILL be done. I'm still pretty bummed about IASW being closed while we're there. It just won't be the same!
-One last trip to Toontown (as long as it's still open)

I know....it's not a very long list. We just love everything at MK! I'm really excited to ride my beloved Peoplemover on this trip (it will never be the TTA). It was closed in June last year and I was so sad. It's so relaxing and there is never a line. Madison has also informed us that she would like to ride Space Mountain!!! She watched it on youtube with the lights on. She saw there were no big dips so she'd like to try it. Who knows....maybe she'll ride EE!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was a bit busy. I had an appearance on Sat evening and it was for a great cause. It's a sad story....a lovely couple started this charity after their son committed suicide last year. They are now determined to raise awareness for mental health. Last year at the benefit, they raised over $27,000!!!! Isn't that awesome?! The parents were some of the nicest people I have ever met and they didn't stop thanking us all night.

Yesterday, Tony had his first baseball game with a new team. That's right...no more softball for him! He got invited to play in a real baseball league and they even play with wooden bats! It was a lovely day yesterday, so Madison and I went to watch him. My sister was there as well because her husband is also on the team. Actually, I know 5 guys on the team! There is Tony, my BIL, one of Tony's good friends, the best man from my sister's wedding and a friend of mine that I graduated HS with! Right before the game started, my sister's inlaws showed up and so did my mom. We had a lot of fun and Tony's team won 6-1. It was a fabulous weekend!

I don't have any hours this week at ON, so that means more time to DIS!!!

Fun weekend! That's wonderful that your team does such worthwhile things-- must make you feel good to be a part of something so important! Go Tony and his weight loss/baseball team!
GREAT goal to do all of the rides at MK-- we tend to go on our favorites over and over again instead of exploring everything!

Thanks Meghan for the reminder on the ON swim sale. I saw the commercial the other day. Maybe I'll check it out today. They might have something left!

Awesome news that Madison is ready for SM!!! How fun!

 

[jenny105]

Bummer they only sell them in kids sizes. Think I could fit into a girls L or XL? I saw that ON was having a swim sale. Definitely may have to stop by there. I've been doing too much shopping. I got two new tops from the Loft and a VB bag.

Woohoo! Madison is braving a mountain. Think she'll do all 3?? (4 if you count EE )

With my dance team, we do many charity appearances. I've been fortunate enough to have participated in 2 for the Relay for Life and they were awesome. Over my 5 years, I've sold my fair share for 50/50 raffle tickets!

I'm so proud of my DH!!! He's awesome!

We love everything at MK. Well...mostly. We've never done the Stitch attraction (I miss Alien Encounter), Madison was bored by the Country Bears and in all of my trips, I've never been to Tom Sawyer's Island or the Treehouse. Just not my thing.

We should still have plenty of swimsuits. I was there again on Saturday (I bought Madison the wrong size) and there was a lot to choose from. But, who knows what could have happened over the rest of the weekend.

I LOVE Space Mtn and I really hope she decided to do it.

I've actually bought a few XL girls t-shirts from there before. They were too cute to pass up. I really need to put the shopping on hold too. I have to remember...the more I save now, the more I get to spend at Disney!

Madison rode Splash in Jan 09 and was completely traumatized. She vows to never ride it again. But, she LOVES BTMRR!!!! She likes that there are no big drops and it just goes fast. EE doesn't have anything to big, so we'll see what she decides to do. I guess that would mean no more single rider line for me.

Your MK list looks great! Mine always includes a Dole Whip float. Yummy! Have you had one before? One of the fun magic pictures we took on our trip, was each of my girls making a kissy face and holding out their hand. The frog from Princess and the Frog appeared in the photo. It was a really cute one.

Oh yes! There is always a stop at Aloha Isle for a Dole Whip. I'm not a fan of the floats though. There was something about it that just tasted funny to me.

That magic photo sounds so cute! I wonder if they'll still be doing it in Sept.

Tony is so excited to be playing baseball again. It's his passion. They have some very talented guys on the team so it should be a great season.

That's so funny that you won't start your list for another 4 months! I feel like I always have a Disney list in my head.

Awesome list Meghan! I think I might steal that idea of must do's for my PTR! I know you won't mind!

Sarah has said she'll do BTMRR this trip and I'm so excited! I'll tell her that Maddie likes it too! Now if I could only convince Paige! hmmm, plotting will commence!

Agreed. I need to start saving! Hmmm...I may order a few XL shirts then.

Aw, poor Madison. Maybe she'll change her mind and brave Splash again!

Thanks! Feel free to use any ideas of mine. I definately don't mind.

Have your girls watched any of the rides on youtube? That might help them. Madison doesn't like big drops (she doesn't like the tickle feeling in her belly) and I had to tell her over and over that BTMRR doesn't have any.

I'd say that a girl's XL fits like a XS/SM in women's. I really hope Madison will want to ride Splash again too.

That's great that your team did the charity event! It's always so fulfilling when the beneficiaries are so gracious.

Love your list! I bet you can do it all with the low crowds

The people at that event were awesome! It was such an honor to be there.

Thanks! I'm sure we can get through all of the things we want to do at MK. We have a few days planned there.
