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

[MeMom]

Sounds good!

I'm headed out to the store to get more things we need for the trunk-or-treat thing tonight. I just took the last tray of cookies out of the oven, so while they're cooling, I'll run my errands and come back to pack them up. Jill, John, and Brooklynn met John's family to go to the zoo and go out to eat for John's brother's birthday. They're meeting me at church this evening. It's a beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee - perfect for the zoo and outdoor activities.

Have a good rest of the day out there in Arizona!

Maybe you should spend some time knitting yourself some good warm sweaters for that cold land you are heading to soon!

I went out with a bunch of my girlfriends last night. We had dinner and drinks outside. I had to have a jacket on toward the end of the evening. Then, as we walked to our cars, I began to run because it was so cold. I looked at the thermometer in my car and it was 71 degrees. I am in T-R-O-U-B-L-E. That's like summer in Chicago!!!!

Yayy for more Disney mail!! Those luggage tags are nice they will definitely be going on our bags...and I have faith in you that you can turn DH into a Disney lover without the Sea Raycers!

Um, yeah, you were meant to be a Southerner -- that's pretty cool as far as I am concerned.

BTW, on the way back from the Atlanta Botanical Gardens today, we stopped at Borders and I bought the first Southern vampires book -- I started reading it, but then fell asleep (all that walking did me in). What I read I liked though.

I'd even settle for Disney LIKER!!!

Someday, I'll be a southerner! For now, I'll settle for honorary southerner.

Oh, I hope you like the book! Oh, what a great day...starting out at the botanical gardens and then falling asleep while reading. I LOVE days like that!

 

[TarzansKat]

Yah for the luggage tags!

And oh my goodness, are you in for a rude awakening if 71 seems cold.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I know...I think we're both going to get those remote starters installed on our cars!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Hey, look!

My ticker says ONE MONTH till Disney World!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JaxJags08]

Woo-Hoo! I'll dance with you!

We're back from WDW Your trip is getting so close now - only one month to go!

While I sit here munching on my Goofy's Kitchen custom-coated rice crispie treat (yep, it's decadent lol), missing the palm trees, wishing it was warm enough to wear a tank top and shorts again, I have some good news for you! My Disney-despising husband is now a Disney-tolerating husband! I think it was the evening that my MIL babysat our boys so that he & I could "eat around the world" at Epcot was the deciding swing factor. It's a lot easier to appreciate WDW when you can go at a leisurely pace (which we really couldn't do with our boys kwim?). I consciously made a few decisions about stuff to do that I knew he would enjoy - it paid off! We all had a wonderful time

His mindset went from "why do we have to go THERE for vacation?" to "yes, we can come back here - in four years (this was in response to my 9yo ds asking when we could go back) to "we could drive down to Disneyland next year" (this was said to me, much to my amazement!).

If renting a SeaRaycer is what would swing your dh to the positive side of WDW, then I say do it. Even if it messes with your plans, if it makes him a pro-Disney dude, then it's worth it.

 

[TarzansKat]

Yah for one month!

Oh, and my mom has the automatic starter on her car, and loves it in the winter.

 

[xoktenox]

Automatic start is the best invention to come to the Northeast in ages. It is the best when its snowing out to go into a nice warm car and not freeze when your hands touch the steering wheel!

 

[Nicole786]

Yay For One Month!!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Woo-Hoo! I'll dance with you!

Thanks!

I'm sorry that your trip is over! But welcome back! And I'm so happy to hear that you, and more importantly, your husband, had a great time! It gives me hope for my DH!

Are you doing a TR?

About the Sea Raycer, you're right. I'm going to mention it to DH when we get a little closer to the trip and see what he says. I would probably have to make a reservation for that, huh?

I think 4 years is about our timeline too for our next trip to WDW.

Automatic start is sounding better and better!

Oh, I forgot about freezing hands on the steering wheel! Yuck!

I heard from several friends today that it snowed in Chicago today! Not good! And we're going there this weekend!

Yay For One Month!!

Thank you, it really was super fun! If MY uber-stubborn husband can be swayed over to the Disney side, then your husband can, for sure!!!! I can't do a TR here, there'd be repercussions I dunno if you have to reserve a Sea Raycer, but it's definitely worth researching a bit. Seriously, if you think that a Sea Raycer experience there will bring him over to the pro-Disney side, then it's worth whatever hassle it entails Yes, he said 4 years for WDW and perhaps next year for Disneyland; HOWEVER, I got a little email from Disney Destinations this morning (my first ever!) with a 40% pin code for various dates next year So, who knows...

You know, I think your countdown really deserves a dance:

So I should look for your TR somewhere else? I checked somewhere else today and didn't see one.

Yay for a 40 percent pin code! Surely huge money savings can sway your newly-Disneyfied husband!

Thanks for the awesome dance!

 

[JaxJags08]

No! I give you a year and a half, tops. It seems that you love it too much to stay away.

Yep, I will write one somewhere else at some point I was so excited to receive that email LOL I haven't brought it up with dh yet, but I'll let you know his reaction when I do

WHOO HOO! You're getting close!

My DH has been so patient to take my DSIS and her kids last trip to the World, and the grandbabies to DL, so I am planning on things he will want to do on our next trip - ESPN, Braves game, Sea Raycers, maybe Disney Qwest. He deserves a break - and he wants to take me on a Hawaiin cruise for our 30th in 2010!

Okay, I'll look for it elsewhere!

Yes, you must find the perfect time to bring up the discount code!
