[DSNYGRL_JKS2006]

o haha okay its not just canada then! but I do think its worth the money!

and thank you! we're celebrating our anniversary at Disney too! got the celebrations all lined up at the resturants! yay for 2 months away! I remember being like 4 months away! haha

I forgot to put what we actually did woops! lol We went to baton rouge, which is a nice semi fancy resturant! I got lobster mmmm so I was a very very happy lady!

And I work at a before and after school program! Ive been working there for 5 years now and just got promoted to a resource person starting in september which is really exciting! I actually can have two months off for summer (with pay from unemployment!) but I only got the one month this year because I decided to work at the summer camps we offer! So only one month off this year! I also get march break and 2 weeks at christmas! i love it!

Wow that sounds awesome, glad to hear you do something you love!! I'm in the mist of job/career changes, I can't wait to settle!!!

I got him.... a super nice handheld HD video camera from Kodak which is AWESOME and he said he cant wait to make a disney vacation montage! haha Hes always wanted a video camera... being the dorky journalism grad that he is! Maybe this is the start of his famousness!?

I also made him a scrapbook of our first year together and he LOVED it! I worked for sooo long and so hard on this thing but it was definitly worth it!

As for me, he got me the planet blue box set which included Planet Earth and Blue Planet and I LOVE it!

Im getting the other part of my present in Disney as part of my big surprise! So im even more anxious to get there now!

And I cant believe its only 19 DAYS!!! WOOO finailly into the teens!!

To make up for my lack of posting of my tips, I am going to post (in my next post) Tips Ive compiled for ALL the theme parks! So Enjoy and hopefully this will be useful!!

Awesome, can't wait for Disney videos!!! And to find out what your surprise will be!

Stand directly in front of Cinderella and curtsy to her, you will see the gold crown behind her painted onto the wall go onto her head. The purpose? To explain the story of Cinderella in just one glance - rags to riches.

I've heard this as the reason for that, but I also heard that it was made for that because at that lower level, which is the level kids are always at, she is a princess and that many things throughout WDW can only be seen from a childs perspective. Isn't that cute?

haha meee tooo! trust me im dying to know! and im excited to see what he comes up with for the videos because hes a very unique person and sees things differently then most people!

I'm dying to know what happens!! You are so close! I'm getting anxious for you...mostly because of the rest of your gift!!

Hello all! Im back to posting everyday! yay! Today Craig, his twin brother and I all went to walmart so I could get everything I needed for Disney! Got this awesome travel pack for 5 bucks with like everything I need! Exciting!

I also picked up a Disney book for the plane called MouseJunkies! It comes highly recommended here on the DisBoards so hope its a good one!

The only thing left for me to pick up now are some new flip flops (gunna get a nice comfy pair and a cheap old navy pair!) Im really concerned about my feet in the park but I also dont wana wear anything horrendous lookin! I am bringing my broken in runners in case my feet get haggered but I live in flip flops in the summer so I think thats what its gunna be!


Onto my planning tips of the day! I think you guys will enjoy this one! (and again I did not make these up! i got them off a planning website)

2. Resort Tip -Barnyard Animal Viewing area at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. When: Daily – closes mid-afternoon.

3. The Animal Kingdom Lodge has a Savannah with giraffes and other animals you can view when dining at or visiting the resort.

4. Resort Tip - The Electric Water Pageant is a floating parade offered nightly on the Seven Seas Lagoon by the Magic Kingdom resort area.

5. Ask to ride up front with the Driver on the Monorail. Your children may even get a “Monorail License”. You can ask to wait until the next monorail if someone is already in the front.

6. There are free Soda Samples from around the world at Club Cool in Epcot.

7. Epcot - You can send e-postcards with your picture included to friends & family from the ImageWorks lab kiosks at the end of the Journey into Imagination with Figment ride in the Imagination Pavilion. Send funny animated e-postcards can be sent from the kiosks found at the Training Lab at the end of the Mission Space ride. Free e-postcards are also available from the Kiosk near the Kidcot area in the Mexico Pavilion.

8. Try riding a Segway without having to book a tour at the Segway exhibit in the Innoventions West building at Epcot. You must be at least 16 years old and under 250 pounds to ride. It usually opens around 1:00 PM.

9. Are you celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon? Is this your first visit to Disney World? Be sure to stop by guest services at any Disney theme park to get the free special pin/button. Wear it and you’ll get a lot of well wishes from Cast Members and other guests but you might even get some special benefits like getting to sit in the VIP area at Beauty and the Beast in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
