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

[SwansLoveDisney]

Oh, geez! I'm sorry to hear about the untimely dispatching of your shoes! I had a puppy once (well, we still have her, but she's at my Nana's) and she loved to shred kleenex. And toilet paper.

You get the idea.

If we even left for a second and the bathroom door was open, we'd find a white paper trail all over. It was kind of cute, but annoying to clean up.

Congrats on the ME tags! It's getting so CLOSE!!!

Kinda like this guy?

(he had an excuse though...he had just gotten neutered. Hence the big inflatable collar around his neck. I guess he had to chew on something if he couldn't get to his parts!)

Thanks! I am getting more and more excited with each day that passes!

Congrats on the ME tags!

I think your dogs are trying to tell you they don't want you going to WDW!

I have two pairs of the croc flip-flops and that is all I wear to the parks. Unless it is too cold.

Thanks!

I think you're right about the dogs!

I saw those crocs flip flops at Nordstrom rack for a great price. Should've bought them! Maybe I'll check back again.

He's so cute! One of my cats does the same thing to toilet paper and paper towels when she's angry. My other cat just likes to eat tp and usually only pulls off a square at a time.

Sorry to hear about your shoes. I think you should get both, though. It sounds like you definitely use them, so you'll probably get your money's worth. Look at this pretty pair!

I think it says AK because the pop is in the Animal Kingdom area, when we stayed at Wilderness our tags had MK.

Yes, I think it is for the bus system you'll be on. I noticed when we left AKL on ME we went to POP before the airport.

How do my dogs know which shoes are my Disney shoes?

I guess I should just choose one or the other, but which do I choose?

New shoes, or new dog? Okay, sorry - not funny. I'm sorry about your shoes. Have you ever tried that green apple spray? You spray everything that isn't his, and then when he tastes it - YUK! He learns to leave things alone. At least that's what worked for our dog.

YAH for 37 days!!!

Yay for getting your ME tags! And yes, the AK is on the tags because that is the resort area.

Last week, I went to the Disney Store to get some Disney Dollars for my SIL for her birthday (which is next week). She and my bro are going on the Disney trip with us.

Well, that got me thinking about our change bucket...

I have decided that the change in the change bucket will be converted to Disney Dollars the week before the trip. So far, there is a total of about 80 dollars in that bucket. I think I'm going to add some dollars to the bucket now as we get closer to the trip. The more Disney Dollars, the better!!!

That's what we always do. I do a little ebaying on the side and everything we make goes into our Disney fund. It adds up so quickly! Subscribing! Looks like we'll just miss you down there.

It's funny that one of your cats just pulls off one square at a time! She has good self control!

I have visited those exact flip flops several times online!

You're a bad influence!

The whole tag thing makes sense now! Thanks!

We did try that green apple spray, but my dogs liked it!!! They licked it off the stuff we sprayed it on!

Yay for getting your ME tags! And yes, the AK is on the tags because that is the resort area.

I am happy that we are in the AK resort area! I LOVE AKL!!!! We're not staying there this time because my parents and brother and SIL didn't want to fork over the money for it, but I will miss it!

That's what we always do. I do a little ebaying on the side and everything we make goes into our Disney fund. It adds up so quickly! Subscribing! Looks like we'll just miss you down there.

Welcome!!! Thanks for subbing!

I am excited to have a little Disney fund! It will make me feel less guilty about the money I spend down there!

Hmmmm...what can I sell on ebay? DH's John Madden video game so I don't have to listen to him shout at the TV?

Yours does that, too? It's sad when I have to tell the 37 year-old, "It's just a game, and if you are going to yell at it, then it is time to take a break."

Hahaha so they dont grow out of that one huh? My BF is gonna be 24 next month and will sit and play Madden or Grand Theft Auto for hours upon hours if I don't speak up. We've actually gotten into real arguments over him getting off the game and coming to bed!

Maybe some do, but Charles has yet to outgrow his little boy gaming -- he loves video games.

I had a strict ban on video games in our house. Until the Wii Fit came out. Then I crumbled. I really wanted the Wii Fit, so we bought the whole system.

Well, it turned out that DH really wanted to try playing Madden. Soooo...I bought it for him for our anniversary and I CREATED A MONSTER!!!!!!!!!

Ahhh I know the feeling, I bought BF Call of Duty 4 for his last bday...let me tell you hes crazy if he thinks he's ever getting a video game from me again. And you cant just play Call of Duty or Halo or Madden by yourself quietly...you have to play online and SCREAM into the headset at the other players and curse and make fun of them and blast the tv so loud that the neighbors can hear it. Thats why I put the time limits on how long he'll play for He'll generally listen...and I use the word generally loosely

Oh no!!!

Call of Duty is the one my DH wants.

I have to ban that from our house. We don't need anymore cursing or yelling going on!

Thank you for the warning!

 

[luvfigment]

Hey!!! I am back and have to get caught up but it looks like you got your ME tags!!! So exciting!

 

[AZMickeyfans]

Ok so I'm jumping over from mine to check out your ptr! Obviously in the past 10 minutes I have not read the entire 85 pages set out in front of me however the desire to do so is there. It will be achieved soon.

I'm subscribing, just pretend I've been here all along.

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, that dog pic is just too funny!

Yes, pretty much like that adorable guy. Except it was a little girl bichon, and she was a cutie patootie puppy. Actually, she's still a cutie patootie, just not a puppy anymore.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Welcome back!

Can't wait to read all about your trip with your DH!!!

Welcome!!!

Thanks for joining in!

Please don't try to read all 85 pages...I feel like I started way too soon! So we can just pretend you've been here all along and no one will know the difference!

Oh, that dog pic is just too funny!

Awww...don't you miss the puppy phase? I look at my dogs' puppy pics all the time and I miss it so much! Can you tell I'm dying to have babies?!?!?

I received more Disney mail yesterday!!!

Included in the nice, big envelope was all of our Magic Your Way package stuff.

This includes the Sea Raycer coupon where you get 90 minutes for the price of 60.

It also includes the 15 dollar food voucher for Planet Hollywood along with a voucher for a souvenir or something from Planet Hollywood.

And now, the only piece of the package that we we actually use:

The luggage tags!

I tried to capture the glitter in the sunlight. Can you see the glitter?

I am so excited to have these on our suitcases! Funny how I can get so excited over some little luggage tags...

For about 10 seconds, I thought about doing the Sea Raycer thing since the aim of this trip is to convert DH from a Disney hater to a Disney liker. And the Sea Raycer thing is right up his alley. However, that would take too much time away from my carefully thought out schedule. So DH will never know about the Sea Raycer thing. Shhhhh....

33 days!

Maybe you could hold onto it and see how things are going. If you see him fading away from the Disney love, you could play the Sea Raycer card and surprise him. If he's having fun on his own, then I'd keep quiet about it too, since there's already enough to pack into a trip.

snowbell said she will probably send her husband on back to the resort for an afternoon rest while she meets up with us at Epcot on that Saturday. I think you're the one who has an ADR for that day, so we'll work around your schedule, most likely. We'll see what time she was planning on taking a break, and hopefully it'll be after your lunch and before your dinner. As far as I know, we'll be in Epcot all day without leaving, unless Jill feels like she needs to rest. She said she was fine on this trip, except for the heat. She said if it's a few degrees cooler, she should be fine for staying all day and just having breaks in the park, which is no problem. Of course John is more of a whiner about a nap than Brooklynn is, but even if he goes back, we don't have to have the guys. They'll probably just roll their eyes at us anyway!

Good plans!

About the sea raycer, I am going to take your advice and bring the voucher with us. Good thinking, MeMom!

And about Epcot, we have no ADRs that day, so we're good to meet whenever. It would be good if it was after general lunch time though because we want to try to do a lot of stuff in Future World in the morning. Then have lunch, then meet up with you!
