I'm thankful for...MICKEY!!! My Thanksgiving '08 TR!: TR Update, Last Day!

[xoktenox]

Thanks for the croc info. I hate to admit it but I think you're right, I am coming over to the croc side I still think they're hideously ugly BUT if they're as comfortable as everyone says they are (which I'm assuming they are since it seems EVERYONE wears them) then it's worth it. Do you know where I can find any of the discount codes people seem to use to get them? I fit into kids sizes in shoes so that will save me some money on them but I'm cheap and any savings will help. (I have big thighs and a big butt and my feet are so small that, according to a friend of mine, it looks like I'm about to tip over sometimes )

I wish I could help you with the counter service question but I've never been to any of the monorail resorts (sad, I know). Your trip is so close and my jealousy-meter is rising daily

Oh, the crocs will look SO much better on your feet because your feet are so small! So there's one reason to be thankful for tiny feet. I look like I'm wearing clown shoes when I wear crocs because my feet are so darn big!

For a discount code, I would go to the site shoebuy.com and sign up for email updates. They send coupons/codes pretty often. And they have free shipping and free return shipping, which is awesome.

So excited, your trip is SO close!

On the monorail resorts, I think basic counter service is the same. The only reason I would recommend the Poly (even though it can be a bit hectic at times) is because they have Dole Whip on tap. Oh, yeah baby. Yum, yum.

Julie -- you are down to four days!

I was actually going to say the same thing as TarzansKat -- the Poly has Dole Whips in their counter service area, so I would totally stop there. On the other hand, there is that Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian, so I would totally buy some gingerbread from there.

Also, check out allears at their menus -- they have all the resort counter service ones.

I can't believe I forgot about the gingerbread!

Julie, go there, go there!

Dole whip on tap sounds awesome!

Good idea to check out allears!

Well, maybe we can eat our lunch at the Poly and then head over to GF for some gingerbread!

I can't believe I forgot about the gingerbread!

Julie, go there, go there!

Yes ma'am!

Gingerbread sounds awesome!

Thanks so much Julie!

You're welcome!

Only four days left till we go to DISNEY WORLD!!!!

I just finished adding a bunch of music to my ipod for the plane rides. I guess I was in an 80s mood because it was mostly 80s music!

All of my laundry is done for the trip with the exception of the clothing I will wear for work this week. I wear shorts and jeans and t-shirts every day for work, so my work clothes will definitely be worn on the trip.

Now I have to bust out a bunch of progress reports on my kiddos. I am SO behind on them and I hope to get most of them done before I leave. So today is going to be a paperwork day. Yuck!

I can't believe we're down to four days! What a great feeling!

Hi Julie! Sorry it took me so long to get over here. The end of the semester always kicks my butt, and this time the works starting three weeks early so I haven't had much time on the boards. I CAN'T BELIEVE you're three days away! I remember reading your report when you first started it back in March, and now you're three days away. How in the world does time fly by so fast? Either way, I'm sure you're thankful that it does I hope you have an amazing time down in Florida, and take some time to yourself to relax and not worry about the stress of moving. You deserve a nice break from it all! Wow, I know I've said it already, but I can't believe how fast these past eight months have flown by! We leave in 8 months from now, so I'm hopeful that the time will go by just as fast

Have a great time, and take lots of pictures since I'm psyched for another SwansLoveDisney report!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

WOO HOO!!!!!!!

So close, so close!

So close I can smell the Disney popcorn!

Looking forward to meeting you and Memom & family on Saturday!! Safe trip.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you Saturday!

Holy crap girl!! 3 days!!!!

I know!!! I can't believe we're so close!

I totally understand the end of the semester thing. Always a jam-packed time!

This has definitely been a LONG pre-trip report, but it sure has made the time go by faster. So much has happened since I started this PTR!

I am really looking forward to being at Disney World and blocking out all thoughts of work and moving. I spent ALL day yesterday doing paperwork for my job. It was a long day, but I'm all caught up now and I won't have to worry about a thing when we're in Florida!

Would anyone like me to send a postcard to their kids?

If so, just PM me the address and tell me what characters they like and maybe what you would like the postcard to say. I would be happy to spread a little magic while I'm at Disney World!

 

[TarzansKat]

So close I can smell the Disney popcorn!

YUM! I love that smell!

 

[wdwgirl03]

3 days, 3 days! We've got that times 7...LOL. You must be excited now!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

YUM! I love that smell!

Isn't it the best?

You're right, I am SO excited!

Your trip is getting pretty close too!
