I'm Ordering a big BLT for Thanksgiving 2010 NEW 12/3 started TR! see link

Hi Julie - looks like you've got things under control.

I've been following the PhotoPass issue as it really peeved me when I first heard that DVCers were not going to get the discount. How I understand it to work for us is that we have to contact Member Svcs to get a discount code to use after you get home when ordering the CD.

 

[Charlefours]

Yay for goals! I love having goals to strive towards.

Just read the link you posted about the photopass cd--they are not allowing preorders to TA bookings either. Not sure why not, when they are more likely to get them ordered. Oh well, I have in the budget at the full price but the discounted price would have been nice!

Hi Julie! It took me a while, but I'm back and I am all caught up!

First...I love all the Disney ornaments on your tree. My fave? The one with Lilo kissing Stitch! Too cute!

The pic of little Margaret in the hospital was heartbreaking. So cool that Santa paid her a visit!

You are my organizational hero! I have many of the same tools, but yours are just amazing! The planning is so much a part of the vacation for me. I think that's why I'm so bummed out lately....no vacation on the horizon to be planning. So sad.

Can't wait to hear more about yours, though! Keep those posts coming!

YAY!! Love your goals!! We want to spend more time in AK when we go back, too!! (it rained 11 inces the day we were there last May) That stinks about DVC members not getting the PP preorder discount! That makes no sense to me!

 

[Marshay]

Yep, the Disney zone...it's definitely a way of life!

I'm hoping they figure out the photopass thing soon for DVCers. I do want the discount for our July trip!

I like your plans. When we stayed at BLT, we tried to concentrate on MK and Epcot, too, since they were so easy to get to.

next time we go to one of the hard-ticket events, I'm hoping we can get in BLT again. How nice to just walk back to your room!

Hi, Scrappie J! I love the term "Disney Zone" -- I need to get into the Disney Zone before Tuesday which is our ADR day. It has come up quickly for some reason.

Number 9 is my favorite on your goals! All three of those will make for a GREAT vacation!

wow CP only 3 more days now till your ADR's....are you posting your wishes on your top secret PTR?

Yes DH ins't in the "zone" till much closer but at least he appreciates my weakness

I agree if I keep the #9 mantra we'll have a wonderful trip...I'm trying to tell myself, every Disney trip isn't about rides and attractions...

I hate that limbo phase!

yes it's a bit borring...

I love your goals - they look good and very do-able. I think you guys will enjoy park hoppers. I have a couple days planned of not hopping. It's nice to have the option, but not mandatory for every day!

thanks from the hopping queen, makes me feel good to know you don't hop every day

I heard about that photopass thing too! I'm bummed because I am leading a photopass share through Tour Guide Mike and we can't get the pre-order discount. Actually I'm more bummed that we can't pre-order - I'm not so worried about the discount, but it's nice to pre-order so the group feels better about sending money. Nobody who is staying on property wants to run it so we're out of luck! Luckily we're doing a share so the cost will still be pretty low for us. It's too bad they don't allow shares to be organized here on the DIS now.

I thought of you Amy when I read this too and wondered how this would work for you...I think it's stinky

Hi Julie - looks like you've got things under control.

well 10 months out I should be on top of it, huh?

Whew! thanks for this one! what a relief...I knew we'd want to pre-order again have bought the CD for the past two trips, but only pre-ordered once...its a significant savings...now I wonder though isn't this more work for DVC people and what about not sure if they'll have this pre-discount but before our March '09 trip I pre-order the cd and the photobook...will I not be able to do the book pre trip if the discount even exists

Yay for goals! I love having goals to strive towards.

I am a very goal/list orientated person (if you could tell already )

Feels like I'm always in The Zone...

that belongs to Aldine, we bought it back in '05 (at WDW) I think?

The pic of little Margaret in the hospital was heartbreaking. So cool that Santa paid her a visit!

yes it was a tough week and few days then at the hosipital...but it was so sweet, made up for it.

You are my organizational hero! I have many of the same tools, but yours are just amazing! The planning is so much a part of the vacation for me. I think that's why I'm so bummed out lately....no vacation on the horizon to be planning. So sad.

well you can pull a MRYPPNS...I remember once when she was in between trips...she planned a pretend one and thanks for saying I'm your hero...to funny

Can't wait to hear more about yours, though! Keep those posts coming!

thanks for stopping in Missy....glad your back!

of my past 7 trips to the World...only one did we feel megga rained out...don't think it couldn't it could happen twice

Yep, the Disney zone...it's definitely a way of life!

I agree and only those in the "zone" truly get it huh

I'm hoping they figure out the photopass thing soon for DVCers. I do want the discount for our July trip!

I like your plans. When we stayed at BLT, we tried to concentrate on MK and Epcot, too, since they were so easy to get to.

thanks...I think it makes sense too, the buses don't overly bother us...but the monorail is just so nice

next time we go to one of the hard-ticket events, I'm hoping we can get in BLT again. How nice to just walk back to your room!

I'm looking forward to that too...too bad there isn't a moving walkway

Ok and to the DVC no discount for PP...irishdancer (DVC member too) posted just back a few posts that we can get it, but need to obtain the code after our trip from GS...weird

thanks for reading all!

Oh, thanks for that update. I must have missed it!

 

[DisMomAmy]

I'm glad to hear you can get the PP discount!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Yep, the Disney zone...it's definitely a way of life!

Truer words have not been spoken... I think that many of us live in the Disney Zone...

Hey J,

I hope that everyone is healthy right now and all is going well...

 

[disneylovin24]

Can't wait for more!!!

 

[Native NYer]

Great plans. Building in time at the resort the rest is so important. It's so tempting to go go go. Plus, it'll be so easy for you to get back to your room from the MK.

me too

I agree

Hey J,

Thanks for asking Triple P...we're getting there, it will be nice when winter is over.

Can't wait for more!!!

thanks...I love popcorn. More fun soon!

Yes I agree! it will be so nice to have the easy access. I'm even thinking to go over to the TTC via monorail and catch direct buses to AK and DHS when we go there. We did that when we stayed at the Poly and that worked real well.

FYI.....TA bookings can get the discount too! Your TA has to call and get the code for you. You can read about it here: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disneysphotopass/#save

Thank you for the information!! I really appreciate it.

Hi all...

nothing new to report in the ways of the Nov. trip, but I'd love to invite you to take a peek at my BLOG Julie's Mickey Memories and More (the link is below in my siggie)

I have begun to create custom Memory Books and I write and share about these fun projects in my BLOG. I just finished up a special timeline book for my husband and I...

here is a sneak peek at the cover:

enjoy...

[Charleston Princess]

I am drooling over the custom memory book, so I am headed over to check out your blog!

 

[Marshay]

Oh, I love your custom books!! How fun and so cool!

I'm sure your friend treasured her wedding books -- what a thoughtful gift!

Please keep posting links when you have more! I love to see what others are doing!

I finally started clearing out my scrapbook room last night from our November trip. I took a scrapbooking hiatus for a few months but I want to start again soon!

thanks guys...

I really love to scrapbook, but these little books just look so sharp!

Marsha that was on my list of Scrappin to do's for Jan too- clean out the scraproom..it had become a catch all for vairous what -nots over the holidays...this weekend is one of my favorites a girl scrappin and restin weekend. It's just a quickie at a friends parents IL house (they also have one in FL) usually we do 3 days in MI, but any excuss to get away and scrap for 1 1/2 days I am game for.

I want to do a quick Christmas book (the book is pre-done just add the pictures) I feel like I'm cheating a bit, but at least it's done and then I'm going to jump into Feb's goals and finally start my mini album from the '09 trip. I have all the pictures printed. It's one of those 8 x 8 albums so I want to pre cut my 12 x 12 paper down before the weekend so hopefully I can just bust through it.

I'll be sure to share more when I do stuff.

thanks

Julie
