[ILuvCrush]

Wow, that is amazing that you got everything you wanted - even Le Cellier!!! That's awesome!

Congratulations on getting everything you wanted for ADRs!!! You're right -- Jen rocks!

Wow! What a great feeling to have gotten everything you wanted!!

Thanks everyone!! I am very excited! I really didn't expect to get the FDP or Le Cellier so that is awesome I had told Nanna that we probably wouldn't get Le Cellier, so she's uber excited since that was her only pick for the week!

 

[jenjolt]

YAY!! For getting everything you wanted!! I was very very excited for you and your family!!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

OMG!! Great ADR's!! You guys are going to have such a great time!! I'm so excited for you!!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Subbing on!

I think that you are an awesome aunt-what a great memory you are giving them...

(BTW-bad luck runs in groups of three-so you are all done...)

How much fun to have a girls only trip and then a family trip so close...

Congrats on your Adrs-so great you got everything you wanted...with Jen's help...

Hi there my few failthful readers!!

I was able to check another item off my to do list today!! I ordered our Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets!!

I'm pretty excited about this party since it is a first time event for me and for my girls too! I waited to order tickets til I could be sure that I could get the BBB appointment for my little Allison! She loves to dress up. She has her heart set on getting Belle's red and gold Christmas dress. I really hope that it's available for her.

For fun... here is a pic of her all dressed up at the Pirate and Princess party last year.She wore a Deluxe Aurora dress, that she had acually wore the year before to the 'My Disney Girl's Perfectly Princess Tea Party'!!

Enough about the party for now... I'm going to switch gears to tell you about our to-do's for our 1st park day.... Sunday at Animal Kingdom!!

Definately...no to be missed attractions.

1. Expedition Everest... no secret here, I'm a huge thrill ride junkie as are the girls. I know the boys don't care for heights....so I'm not sure how receptive they'll be to this since it looks so high.I know the do like roller coasters. We will definately be conquering this baby... but probably not first thing! I'll FP it for later in the afternoon.

2. Safari.... what's a trip to AK without the safari

3. It's Tough to be a Bug!!... the boys will LOVE this! And I think Nanna forgot about the bugs under her butt... and I want to hear her squeal again

4. Festival of the Lion King....My all time fave WDW show. I'm still trying to figure out a way to get Allison to meet the tumble monkeys!! I may do a little research on the possibility of such a meeting in September

5. Dinosaur!!.... Again because I like to see Nanna scream but also because I think that Dinosaur is a great Disney Attraction!! Attractions like this is what sets WDW apart from an 'amusement park' These are the kind of Attractions that my nephews will LOVE and will accept that WDW isn't a bunch of fluffy characters running around entertaining little kids!!

6. Parade... basically because the girls and Nanna haven't seen it yet and we do plan to close the park that day!

If Time....

Finding Nemo.... the girls and Nanna have yet to see this one (I think)

Kali River Rapids.... Nanna can ride with the kids LOL!!! Someone needs to wait with the stuff so it doesn't get wet.....AND man the cannons on the bridge

Anything else we can fit in. Our AK day is supposed to be very busy... but AK is the recommended park, so hopefully it will go in our favor!


I plan to try to get an extra ride on EE and walkthe trails on our departure day... we will have several hours there to soak up the atmosphere and have breakfast, so that work great!


OK that's all for tonite!! Next up... to-do's for Park day #2 Magic Kingdom!! with a bonus to-do list for MVMCP


Bye!

OMG!! Great ADR's!! You guys are going to have such a great time!! I'm so excited for you!!

Thanks Melissa!! I'm pretty excited about the ADRS!! I'm a little sad about skipping WCC and 50's PrimeTime.... I'm considering adding one of them, and paying for one of the bfst OOP.... hmmmm decisions decisions!!

Subbing on!

Welcome Patricia!!! I'm so happy to have you join in!! Jen is a little angel!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I love the pictures of your DD in her princess dress!! She looks stunning! I have a very similar pic of DD standing in front of Cinderella Carriage in her deluxe Cinderella dress from MNSSHP in 06!!! I LOVE it!!

I love both WCC and 50's PT as well! We had a absolute blast at WCC on the first night of our trip in Jan and it was a great way to start off the vacation! Not to mention we were starving after a long day of traveling etc and the Canyon Skillet really hit the spot!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Oh boy! Does Nanna know what she's getting into? Are you also planning to introduce her to that delicious drink known as Beverly?

Your AK plans look like fun. It would be great if you could meet the tumble monkeys but I am not sure at all how you would go about that. But there is always Disney magic!

I think you guys will really like the Christmas party and I can't wait to hear about BBB.

 

[jenjolt]

Welcome Patricia!!! I'm so happy to have you join in!! Jen is a little angel!

LOL Unless of course I'm demanding must-do lists from you to accomodate our Sept PTR (btw you might want to check your inbox )

Loved your AK must dos....they all sound like so much fun!!! I'm sure the boys will love EE and Dinosaur!!! FOTLK...hmmm did I tell you I have never seen this show...this might be something we should do in Sept too LOL!! Now Finding Nemo I have seen and I LOVED IT and I think your girls would love it too!!!

Poor Nanna LOL...she's going to have all types of surprises coming her way at AK LOL!!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Awww, Allison looks so adorable all dressed up!! I hope she can get Belle's Christmas dress, she would look so festive for MVMCP!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Allison is just beautiful in her princess dress!!!

I love all of your AK must-dos!!! They are all so much fun!

Thanks for the compliments!! Allison is a cutie I love the carriage and setup forthe parties! I'm really tempted totry to throw WCC at least in the mix... not sure how exactly that will work

Oh boy! Does Nanna know what she's getting into? Are you also planning to introduce her to that delicious drink known as Beverly?

Beverly!! Ohhhh NONE of them know about that!! hehehehe Thanks for the idea I think that we will like the party too! I can't wait to see Allisons reaction from BBB!!

LOL Unless of course I'm demanding must-do lists from you to accomodate our Sept PTR (btw you might want to check your inbox )

Poor Nanna LOL...she's going to have all types of surprises coming her way at AK LOL!!!!!

Never done FOTLK??? We will need to correct that!! Not to mention 'tumble monkey research' needs to be done!! From the sound of my AK day.... maybe my TR title should be something like "the Trials and Tortures of the Nanna'

Awww, Allison looks so adorable all dressed up!! I hope she can get Belle's Christmas dress, she would look so festive for MVMCP!

It looks like its been available before... so I hope that it is this year!

Allison is just beautiful in her princess dress!!!

I love all of your AK must-dos!!! They are all so much fun!

Thanks CP!!

Yeah on getting all your ADRs and what a great friend Jen is to do that for you!

On the Tumble Monkeys back on our March 2008 trip we were at FOTLK. It started and about 10 minutes into the show if that there was a burning kind of smell, a float got stuck and they had to stop the show completely. It was a huge bummer since we'd been waiting a while for it to start. The consolation prize was they had all the performers out on the floor and you could go around and meet and greet and take pictures with them. So I guess you can hope for a mechanical failure and cancellation of the show as one way to meet a Tumble Monkey!

Hi everyone!!
Long time to see...huh???

I feel bad about letting this PTR wallow...forgotten.... but I've been really busy

So I thought I'd do just a quick little update!

I have ordered our MVMCP tickets! They will be waiting forus when we arrive.

I added another ADR... for Thursday evening at Prime Time. I thought we could take the boat from Epcot to DHS. It'll give the kids a little DHS preview for the next day. I really want to try this restaurant, I think it'll be a hoot. At this point... I'm not cancelling anything. I think I'll just pay for Crystal Palace breakfast OOP, since it's our least expensive meal.

My Owners Locker suitcase, is filling up. I think I have pretty much everything I'm getting for it now....I need to go thru it and compare it to my list. I'll post a pic and the list soon....well....eventually

Since I'm down to 24 days til Jenjolt and I's trip.... I thought I'd share my shopping list for WDW for this months trip of things I'm buying to make up goodie bags for Nanna and the kids for the November trip..... did thateven make sense???

• Lanyards
• autograph books
• special mickey pens for autographs
• pressed penny books... for my girls, I may wait for the boysand see if they're interested
• matchy matchy T-shirts
• some odds and ends (like pencils)for fun

I already bought pins for the kids on ebay... I think they will each have 8 to keepor trade.

I MAY or may NOT make us tees as well. I'm having trouble deciding on what. I'm considering a festive MVMCP tee.... but then Allison won't getone.... of course she'll be rather festive in her BBB getup


Thats all for today....I'll try to come up with a 'real' post soon! I'm really bad about PTRs... I am much better with TRs

This is great news for us...because I'm great with PTRs and not so good with TRs...so I'm thinking you're going to be helping me lots and lots girlie!! And now that I have this quote I'm screenshotting this page and saving it to my hard drive...can't get out of it now MMMUUUUUAAAHHHH!!!

Awww love the goodie bag idea...how much fun is that!!! I think you will have an amazing time! I'm so looking forward to your pictures of the parade and the party and of course A in all her BBB glory!!!!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Aww, we missed you Paula!!

50 PTC will be so much fun! I kinda got a feeling the yesterday to see if I could change our ScFi Dinein ADR next month to 50 PTC but resisted! I want to try new places and we've never been to SciFi!

I can't wait to see what your going to put in the locker! I just signed up for ours and already have a ton of stuff to put in it!!! I thinking about shipping it down in a box so I don't have to add another bag to the mix! I'm trying to keep our # of bags for Oct low!

Anyway, can't wait for the "real" update

 

[ILuvCrush]

I'm just popping on to say howdy!!

I didn't want the mods to shut me down for lack of action

 

[2xcited2sleep]
