I'm Not As Tink As You Kronk I Am - Final Thoughts on Mustard's January Trip to WDW

[jordanyosh]

Are you carrying around the camera bag all the time? You ARE an AV junkie if you are.....

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

Wow, I can't believe you are in the single digits already! Isn't it great having that to look forward to??

Nice pj's, Mustard!

Sounds like the girls had a great Christmas! I'm coming over to try Guitar Hero! I wanted to get that, but I wasn't sure if the kids would like it. Neither one of my kids is really big into playing a musical instrument. I always was, though. My mom started me out with piano lessons when I was really young and it kind of took off from there. I used to have a guitar, but I never did learn how to play the darn thing. Everything else I played, I taught myself on. Guitar was one thing I could never get, though.

Sounds like you have a big New Year's Eve planned. I think I'm staying home this year. My grandmother always said, "whatever you do on NYE, you end up doing for the rest of the year." Well, last year I went out and left the kids with my mom. They decided to do sparklers at midnight. Wouldn't you know it, my daughter took a lit sparkler in the eye. We ended up spending NYE/NYD morning in the ER with her. Lucky me, I got to spend a good part of the year in the hospital. I guess gramma was right.

Wow, that's a big camera! Are you lugging that, tripod and all, around with you the whole time?? I can't wait to see the pictures/videos!

YAY for finally getting your tickets!

 

[earthfaries]

Glad you guys had a fun christmas and everyone got what they wanted

That's a nice camera set up you got there...can't wait to see all the great pics I just know your TR is going to be GREAT!!!

8 more days, time really does fly doesn't it?!? Are you packed yet???

The NYE party sounds so fun...it will be nice not to have to worry about driving or anything so you can just relax and enjoy yourselves.

I really love the SM ticket. I didn't get one like that
We also didn't get a princess/castle one either but that's okay, none of us are into princesses. The boys are fighting over the incredibles ticket though

Keep us updated on your last week...good luck with the christmas decorations.

 

[Anne's Family]

I want to see pictures on the Picture of the Day thread when you get back! I'll be looking for your clan when I'm there. I'll be harder to find, there's only one of me!

 

[kindakrazy2]

Yeah for single digits!

and for getting your tickets!

Holy smokes on the camera gear! I got tired of lugging around my camera without all the other stuff that went with it!

But of course - your photos will be better then mine so you may be onto something there....

 

[mnmrmustard]

Are you carrying around the camera bag all the time? You ARE an AV junkie if you are.....

Heheh, nope - I have a smaller bag and will use it more than anything. If I take the backpack MiL has already volunteered to let it hang on the back of her electric wheelchair

Wow, I can't believe you are in the single digits already! Isn't it great having that to look forward to??

YAY for finally getting your tickets!

Yes, the days are flying past ...I just hope they last long while we're there! And yes, it is wonderful to look forward to. This time next week we'll be doing our final recheck of our bags and stacking everything by the door to load up.

Thank you for the kind words on my PJs I was missing the santa hat that time around, it really completes the ensemble

I have always liked music but was never patient enough to learn an instrument. I even owned a bass for a couple of years but never got past some basic notes/chords. Guitar Hero is MUCH better and easier - even if you aren't musically inclined you can still have a great time playing it

Yes, it should be a fun New Years, but I am going to keep things pretty low key personally - just have a couple of beers and take some pictures of the fun. Yikes! Sparklers in the eye are not a fun thing to get a call on when you're out having "grown-up" time I hope DD was ok.

No, I won't lug it all around. I'll probably bring the camera itself and an extra lens each day and bring more equipement for special stuff like the fireworks n such. I'll be posting a BUNCH of pics when I come back, you can count on it!

And yes, a VERY big relief to have those tickets in hand. There is still arguing over who gets which cards though. I, of course, have dibs on the Increcibles!

Glad you guys had a fun christmas and everyone got what they wanted

Keep us updated on your last week...good luck with the christmas decorations.

Yes, a great but mellow Christmas, just what I was hoping for. I've spent a couple of years building up the camera equipment on my meager budget, but I'm very happy with what I have now. The lenses should give me some good options on what I can capture.

Nope, not packed yet, but we have a long weekend to finish that up so I'm not worried. We have the lists, which is the important part. I just need to make sure everything fits in the suitcases!

New Years should be a kick, we've been to parties thrown by these people and it is always a great time. Yes, the only bummer with the tickets was that the tinkerbell one was an adult ticket and the princesses the child ticket. This is reveresed from what both DDs wanted. Ah well, such is life aye?

I'll try and keep everybody up to speed, but it's going to be a busy week!

I want to see pictures on the Picture of the Day thread when you get back! I'll be looking for your clan when I'm there. I'll be harder to find, there's only one of me!

Heheh, I hope to have a couple of shots worth posting there - thank you. And we'll be keeping an eye out for you too ...although you're probably right in that we'll be a bit easier to spot given our numbers

Cheers and Happy New Years to all - I have to get back to taking down Christmas and packing things up!

Well, luckily I was the sober one who didn't have anything to drink. Can't say the same for my hubby. Kyleigh ended up having a "corneal abrasion." They said if it would have gotten any closer, she would have lost her eye. Hubby made such a scene in the ER, I was so embarrassed. He is a very loud drunk.

LOL, well someone has to stay sober enough to see how silly the others end up acting I'm glad Kyleigh's eye was ok. Yeah, I'm sure having an intoxicated hubby in an ER on a busy night like that wasn't fun. Here's to hoping this new year will be a bit less hectic for both your family and mine

I knew it was coming!

Well of course!

i like the bag and everything in it. I have the lowepro slingbag 100 or something like that name. I am not sure if I am taking it or my new coach bag and just put everything in there. I will have my olympus evolt 510 and a hp R717 for video.

 

[earthfaries]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Thank you - the price was right for it I almost picked up a sling-style bag and may still do that down the road. I have a smaller camera bag that I will be taking on days when I don't want to be so weighed down.

Let me know how the coach bag works out for you

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Thankyee! I hope yours was wonderful!

Happy new year. Hope you had fun at your shindig last night!

It was a really good time, good family fun with karaoke in the living room, "Rock Band" hooked up to an XBOX 360 and an open bar in between. DW and I paced ourselves and didn't overindulge despite them having a FANTASTIC bartender. Grown-ups and kids alike had lots of fun and we stayed up until after 4am

Less than a week..... I bet it can't come fast enough

No kidding! We're getting pretty excited here ...I know it'll be hard to concentrate at work tomorrow
