It was to be a SURPRISE trip, but I blew it May 2012 PTR (New May 9 )

Love the pictures from your past stay at POP. Time sure does fly any more.

Can't believe how quickly this trip is coming up. I am so ready to get back down there. Just a little over a month for us.

And a big shout out for needing a smaller size skirt! That is great. Keep up the good job!

Love your old pics from POP! It's so fun to look back at the photos from our past trips!

I remember the days before hair straighteners, make-up, and even braces! AND, yes, those days do fly by, don't they?

What a great trip down memory lane. You and Jas are sooo cute! Your pics made me sentimental thinking of Lindsey's transformations over our various trips to Disney. Time goes by soooooo fast. I have been reading along. Tried to post last week but the DIS was down for maintenance when I hit submit. I loved all the things Jas bought during your shopping trip. She has wonderful taste. Hope your plans are coming along. Still trying to find a way for us to meet up with you before you fly out Saturday morning. Trying to talk DH into leaving early on the 1st.

I Loved looking at the older pics. Jasmine looks soooo young! And, mini Montana was so cute!!!!!!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

*sigh*. The beautiful, simple time before hair straighteners and makeup. I would have years of my life back if I just sucked it up and convinced myself that I didn't need the shellac and extra work.

Congrats on having to go and get a smaller size skirt! I love it when that happens. I can't believe you are going in a month!

 

[kansasdisneygal]

Fun old pictures from Pop!! Can't wait to be there in like a month!!!!
Also, yay for smaller sizes!! You mentioned that you were looking for sandals. I just bought a pair for Disney that I am in love with! They are Clarks brand flip-flops and they come in tan or white, I got tan. They are sooooo comfy!! My feet never hurt when I wear them! I got mine at Famous Footwear for $40 and they were on sale, I think original price was $50.

What a great bunch of old pictures! Makes me miss Pop Century. I can't believe I'm not going to get to see it this year! Say hello from Johnny and I, won't you?
Great news on the skirt being too big That's always a great feeling!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

for 4 weeks! You'll be back at Disney before you know it!

Congrats on needing a smaller sized skirt What a great feeling knowing your hardwork is paying off!

I love the old pictures. Jasmine was (and is) such a cutie! Thanks for sharing

I can`t believe that`s it`s four weeks! I can`t believe it`s Apr 22...where has April gone

I was so excited when that skirt didn`t fit and even more excited yesterday when my capri`s didn`t fit! I had a size 14 in my closet from before and thought maybe just maybe....and yup, fit perfectly. I sent my sister a text right away I was so excited

I wish I had a scanner so I could post even older ones....the first trip when she was 6...those I would love to share

It sure does...way too quickly

I am so with you....I am more than ready for a vacation!

Thank you so much....it sure keeps me motivated!

I remember the days before hair straighteners, make-up, and even braces! AND, yes, those days do fly by, don't they?

It sure is....those memories just come flooding back!

Braces....I forgot about braces!!!

Aww thanks Leanne

I completely get what you're saying about Lindsey's transformation....what a change over the years and both cute as buttons!

She sure did luck in with her purchases....she is claiming still that she needs a few more things and that maybe another day trip is in order to the states....not gonna happen

I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get to see you guys! I am going to send you a PM with Jasmine's cell number so if you do make it you can text her and we'll go from there! I am kicking myself that I didn`t have us booked to come home on the 3rd now

I Loved looking at the older pics. Jasmine looks soooo young! And, mini Montana was so cute!!!!!!!

I am happy you enjoyed them! I agree, but the funny thing is, I remember thinking how grown up she was then MM was just the cutest little thing and had a personality to go with it....she still cracks me up!

They really were simpler times werent they! I cannot believe how much quicker she is ready if she just throws her hair into a ponytail and goes....

Thanks so much....I am still awe that its a month and we are there!!!

It sure is exciting isnt it...you must be so excited too!

Famous Footwear eh....I know exactly what Jasmine is going to say when she reads this .... we should take another day trip

What a great bunch of old pictures! Makes me miss Pop Century. I can't believe I'm not going to get to see it this year! Say hello from Johnny and I, won't you?
Great news on the skirt being too big That's always a great feeling!!

Thanks...it was so much fun looking thru them! I will absolutely say hi from you guys and we will be thinking of you while weare lounging by the pool!!

The best feeling.....in the words of Kate Moss "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" to which I say, amen girl!

 

[Nermel9]

I don't know how I got so behind on your PTR but I'm all caught up! All of your plans sound awesome! And yay for switching your resort, I LOVE Pop Century! Glad you guys found the time to come over here and go shopping for your trip, I actually need to do some shopping for our trip since we're less than 2 weeks out, but I'm sure I'll be saving it until the last minute like I always do!

Loved the old pics from Pop, I remember the days before I needed a hair straightener!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

for fitting into the smaller size!

Your efforts are paying off!

We can be excited together...I am there in 25 sleeps!!!

Love the trip down memory lane, Jasmine was just as cute back then.
Ahhh, I completely understand her tears. I used to cry too.
Now I just remind myself that another trip is around the corner and I can smile.

Oh my goodness Minnie is just too cute for words! She is a Canadian Princess!

Good Luck finding sandals. Shoe shopping can be frustrating.
I gave up on wearing them to the parks and now go with running shoes.
My feet never hurt one day.

I was able to get a new pair of Air Max last weekend in the States on sale!

Ahhh, I'm going to miss POP! You can enjoy it for me!

Enjoy your Sunday!

 

[ellajeansmom]

Hi!

All caught up on your plans, sounds great, and coming so quickly

Loved the pics from the past

Congrats on needing the smaller sizes, that's awesome I remember how motivated it made DH last summer to keep at it when the inches started dropping off.

Good luck with sandal shopping - although I'm with CanadianWDWfan, I wear my runners in the park and save my sandals for dinner-only outings or poolside.

 

[iixheartxyouxox]

love the old pictures! I really hope you can find sandals you like! I finally found a pair last week after a long time searching and I love them. Reading about the purchases you and jasmine made for the trip is tempting me to go shopping myself lol

 

[wakica]

Good Luck on the sandal hunt!! and WOO HOO on getting to swap the skirt for a smaller size

for being caught up....there are some weeks I think I'll never get caught up on my threads!

2 weeks...that's awesome and a great excuse to get a little shopping in!

Before hair straigtners there was a lot more time to get other things done

I can't believe that we're at 26 sleeps as of this morning...where has the time gone!

Thanks It sure has motivated me to stay on track!

Don't you just love that outfit on MM...it was from Please Mum! I loved that store when Jasmine was little!!

I have bought a new pair of running shoes and just might be wearing them to the park if I find nothing else

I will enjoy Pop for you!

Have a great week!

Coming so quickly is right! After this weekend tho I am feeling much better about the planning anyways!

It really does help motivate you! So far this month I am down 5 pounds which they say is good but I was wanting more

I am seriously considering the running shoes in the park now!

love the old pictures! I really hope you can find sandals you like! I finally found a pair last week after a long time searching and I love them. Reading about the purchases you and jasmine made for the trip is tempting me to go shopping myself lol

Shopping anytime is fun but don't you find it even better when we're shopping for our Disney vacations I keep going thru the closets looking at what we're taking....

Good Luck on the sandal hunt!! and WOO HOO on getting to swap the skirt for a smaller size

Hey Kim!

Thanks, I think I'm gonna need it! Can't wait to go back to the mall this Saturday and see what I can get

 

[MEK]

Cpngrats on the smaller size and I will be back later to see your pictures from memory lane!

 

[PirateKate]

I love those older pictures from Pop Century. I bet it'll be fun to stay there again, with all those memories from that trip. Life was so much simpler before hair straighteners!

 

[PlutosRHM55]

I think I really need to stop falling behind. I'm so sorry I haven't commented in awhile on this PTR, Queen. I already mentioned basically why, but I'm already caught up and it's so great to hear how this trip is only so close now. Love the pictures of you guys at Pop 6 years ago, a shame I hadn't been able to go all those many years ago Anyways...

Can't wait to learn more about your trip!

 

[klacey1]

Hi Jacquie!! Just wanted to pop in & let you know I'm here and reading! And I can't wait to see the picture-- Zach can't believe it!!
I love reading about all of your plans! Zach is anti-value resorts, but I really want to go on a trip with some girlfriends so I can stay at Pop!! It just looks FUN!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Thanks Mary Ellen! I plan on doing some more retail therapy this weekend....wish me luck!

I couldn't agree more Kate....when I think back to that trip and her starting high school when we returned home, I thought she was so grown up but she wasn't I love looking back and watching her grown up at the World!

Hi Kylie

I can't believe it myself....I can't wait to post it here too and share the story! My darling daughter didn't get home until well past midnight last evening so there was no email. I promise to have it at least posted here tonight and then I will get her to send it to you via email

When I did my first ever girls trip with my bff we stayed at Pop (2005) and we were so excited to experience it for the first time! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures for you!
