Is Grandma a Princess or a Pirate? UPDATE 9/28! The Last Suppah! PICS!! Pg. 69!

[Goofyluver]

OMGoodness people!

I'm officially under 10 days!

9 days!!!

But...using FDM days...I will call it 4 days.

I won't count today or tomorrow since it's the weekend. I won't count next weekend either. I don't count next Friday, as that is the last day of the school year for me...and that night is our end-of-year bash...and I won't remember that day anyway. So...

4 days till we leave!!!!!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Set your sights on this.

I got a new dog a few months ago. Let me introduce you to Kinzee Faith...my 6 1/2 month old, 3 pound chihuahua...otherwise known as the devil. She steals everything and anything she can get her little paws on. Well, was separating some stuff for the trip today and:

Sunday, June 1st: MGM Day! I don’t care what the heck they wanna call it now…it’s always going to be MGM.

We did MGM last year for the first time…and it was horrid. We went during Geeks Weekend…otherwise known as Star Wars Weekend. I am never doin’ that again. No way, no how! It is NO fun being crammed like sardines into a tin can with a whole bunch of sweaty nerds pining for autographs with the Bubba Fat…or whatever the heck he’s called. We literally got 2 1/2 things done the entire visit. I guess…in the end…it did turn out to be worth it because Jon and his Uncle got pics with some red and black fighter dude….Dork Mall. Jon loved it…but it was a one-time thing…kinda like childbirth for me…did it once…that will be all folks!

Since we have a late night the night before with the P&PP, I’m not going to push us this morning. You don’t wanna see my kid when he’s cranky…ya’ feel me moms???

I’m hoping to be in the park by 10 or so. We shall see how it works out.

I really want to try the new Toy Story ride. Looks cute. And we’ve got to hit up Playhouse, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Lights, Motor, Action! If Jon forces me to, I’ll sit through the Star Wars ride, but I doubt it, as he didn’t enjoy it at all last year. He says it gave him "whit lash"...otherwise known in the human world as "whip" lash! I’m sure he’ll want to watch the HSM thingy…so he can look at those cheerleaders. Yes ladies, my son is becoming a man.

I just really want to explore. Since we didn’t even get to turn around without running into a light saber last year.

We have a 5:30 ADR at Chef Mickey’s. What’s the fastest way to get over to the CR? Bus? Hmmmmmm???? We went to CM’s for breakfast last year. And…it wasn’t that great to me…but I’m not a breakfast eater. Eggs smell like…well, like rotton eggs! Bleeeech! I want to try dinner for the characters, but also because I heard they have Mickey Head ravioli, and Lexie looooooves ravioli. As does her aunt. Although I’ve heard mixed reviews on this place, I thought we’d give it a chance.

After din-din it’s back to SSR for an early night and some laundry before the trip back home tomorrow. Eeeesh, can’t believe it’s already coming to an end.

Early to bed, as we have to travel again tomorrow…and I don’t want to have to throw any children off the plane for misbehavin’!

Monday, June 2nd: DTD and HOME!!! Waaaaaaaa!

We’ll take our time getting up this morning and packing up. But, I know I’m going to be so sad. After getting everything ready, we’ll check out and head over to DTD for some lunch and shopping. But, I have to be careful, as I will have already packed and I don’t want to have to buy a new suitcase for souvies.

Our plane leaves at 3:55, so I’m guessing we’ll need to be back at the hotel by about 1:00 or so.

We’ll arrive back in New Mexico, with our Florida glow still on, at 10:30 PM. I know the kids will be tired, but I just wanted to extend that first day as much as possible. You don’t ever want to leave…ya’ know?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was again talking with my mother this weekend, and she was asking about SSR. She asked about their workout facilities. I asked her when she was planning on working out…and she said first thing in the mornings! WHAT????? Doesn’t she know about THE PLAN????? I told her that I have a schedule to maintain, and if she doesn’t adhere to that schedule, that I will leave her. Our conversation went a little like this:

Me: If you aren’t ready by the time we’re ready to leave, then I’ll leave without you.
Mom: You wouldn’t.
Me: Yup. I will let you know ahead of time what your AIS time is for the next day.
Mom: What’s AIS?
Me: It’s a term that a veeery smart lady named Tracy developed. It means “booty” in seat. So, I’ll give you your AIS time for our bus departure the night before. You’re not there, we leave you.
Mom: You wouldn’t do that. You wouldn’t have any fun without me.
Me:

Why does she want to work out at Disney anyway? I tried explaining to her that we’ll be walking 14 miles a day, and she’ll burn off all of the calories from her “salads and Crystal Light.”

Up Next: We're Baaaaack!

AIS

I hope you have a better visit at the Studios this year. I can only imagine how crowded Star Wars weekend was

Up Next: A note to my son!

Your mom is making me

You missed something in your "MGM" day

 

[cherbear]

I hope when your motha realizes how much walking she'll be doing, she nixes the working out idea.

 

[DisneyJo]

1 week

Your Mom wants to work out I'd love to see her face if you did leave her behind

 

[OregonDisneyFanatic]

Just wanted to check in. I can't believe that you leave in a week

 

[jcc0621]

Has your mother talked to V? You know...the woman who took 5lb dumbells on one trip..LY/V

 

[princessjv]

10 bucks she misses her AIS time. 10 bucks says she see you mean business and doesn't do it again. EVAR!

The bus from MGM to CR shouldn't be too bad at all. I love CM. Yes, I know it gets so so's here and there. But this Jen Loves her some buffet of yummo. The dessert bar is worth its price alone IMO.

 

[jenna]

6 days for you!!!!! WooHoo!!!!

 

[cmp1111]

Me: If you aren’t ready by the time we’re ready to leave, then I’ll leave without you.

Me:

Doesn't she know that we don't make threats we don't follow through with?

 

[Goofyluver]

Your mom is making me

Oh yes. I forgot...I must hit up the Muppet Store to pick up everything pig and frog!

I hope when your motha realizes how much walking she'll be doing, she nixes the working out idea.

I doubt it...

1 week

Your Mom wants to work out I'd love to see her face if you did leave her behind

It would look like this first:

And then there would be some of this:

And more of this:

Oh...and a little bit of this according to Lexie:

Just wanted to check in. I can't believe that you leave in a week

Yay me!

Has your mother talked to V? You know...the woman who took 5lb dumbells on one trip..LY/V

LY/V! Mean it!

10 bucks she misses her AIS time. 10 bucks says she see you mean business and doesn't do it again. EVAR!

I'm taking it from you babe. I'll sneak pics of my motha packing away some dessert. The funny thing is, she can eat like no one else!

6 days for you!!!!! WooHoo!!!!

I can't believe it!

Doesn't she know that we don't make threats we don't follow through with?

She should...I learned it from her...
