It's all about the shopping... with Wigd and Shocker

[Native NYer]

I think the pillowcases are a perfect reason to plan a cruise! Go for it!!

We are staying at Vero four nights after our cruise and from what I'm reading that isn't going to be nearly long enough.
After that we will drive back to Disney and spend three more nights in a 1br at Bay Lake.
The sleigh ride is really fun! I recommend it!

I've been doing some Vero research. It seems so relaxing. I hope you do a report.

How long is each segment?

Great updates Anita. I love the PP picture of you and Marc. It's really cute! Thanks for the tip about the pringles container. Great idea. I loved your pluto. In May I am going to run right up to the CM before anyone else gets a chance. I'll be knocking over the desks to get there.

How fun to spend the evening over at Fort Wilderness. I bet it is fun over there at Christmas time and the sleigh ride looks fun. I really want to do the segway tour over there.

I think I may have some anticipatory pictures from the previous time we thought we mght be motoring to WDW.......

How long is each segment?

Beach Club, 5 nights.
Dream Cruise, 4 nights.
Vero Beach, 4 nights.
Bay Lake, 3 nights.
Then adding in a couple of days driving in both ways, it's going to be a long trip...

OK, Mary Ellen....
The thought of you racing up to get the drawing before anyone else in your group gets there....
You must have a plan.
Sit on the end. Be very quiet about it.

We had always taken a rubber band before but the mailing tube worked so well. Then a CM told us about the Pringles container. That sounded so simple! Baylor typically eats more than a can or two while we are down at Disney!

We have never done a segway tour. Maybe when Baylor is old enough or when Marc and I are down there by ourselves. It does sound like fun!

This is what happened the last time you ran through a library.....

 

[Blesseddaddy]

I'll have to get the new Vera out of it's bag and take a picture!

OH GEEZ, YES please do get that Vera out of the closet and the bag and share........I mean it's probably feeling all lonely and unloved if you have actually left your new bag, IN a bag for this long!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT, I JUST KNEW IT.........remember........open the soap and burn the candles!!

Oh, and it's nice to see my buddy back in the fray!! Nobody is more excited than me to hear all about the ROAD TRIP. I mean the good news is, if you drive all the way from Kansas.......he won't have to grumble about having to RENT a car!!!!

Oh and thanks for the tip about sitting on the end of the row, to get to the picture first......I sort of had visions of having one of my girls climb over the desks to get there first myself!!! I'm not sure Gracie would have gone for it, but it sounded like a plan Barrie Lee might have accepted!!!

A nice, long vacation after the school year ends sounds perfect! The cruise and Vero should be so relaxing.

 

[Happydog]

Hey there!! We're back! Sitting in the Airport reading the DIS but not very easily on my phone! Lol! So I have to catch up but I was thinking about the pillow cases too! Very cute. And I am so glad you did the sleigh ride! It was one of the best experiences we had last XMAS!
And b/c I know this is important for you, I will let you know that the hair dryers on the boat are bad.... no power... not the same as on the Wonder. Those wall units worked. These new hand held not so much!
Can't wait to read your updates!

 

[SoonerGirl]

I wonder if they will have finals on the make-up days, knowing that people have vacations planned and will most likely be pulling kids out of school....

It's all good now, they finally announced the plan for the make up days. Last day of school will be May 26th, so barring anymore crazy storms we should be fine!

I had no idea that I would be in tears at Baylor's basketball tournament...

Hope things have gotten better!



I was cracking up reading about your prank calls in DHS

What a clever idea, using a Pringles can for your drawings! I always hate folding them up to bring home.

Glad you enjoyed the sleigh ride. All those inflatables and lights are a sight to see aren't they? I'm so not a camper but it almost makes me want to stay there for Christmas, it's just so festive!

 

[uncw89]

I think the limit on the sleigh is four adults. I'm not sure what they would do about the girls. Maybe they would count as one big person....
I think they would really enjoy it too!

The sleigh sounds fun! Maybe we will try it sometime! WE did the horse and carriage ride at POR and that was fun!

I think they turned out very nice!

I agree!

Thanks!


I showed Baylor the pillowcase and he really liked it, so I was very pleased!
What are the earflap characters?

yes, what are the earflap characters?

My upset feeling is better today. Let's see when it rears it's ugly head again...

I hope things are better.

Oh I didn't use my cell phone, I walked up and asked to use their old time phone ...
Said I needed to call Mr. Granite.
Melvin played right along.
I asked Marc how many times he thought I did it over the trip and he said at least three or four, maybe more....
Every time we were in the park....


I can't wait to go back and pull the same prank call joke.
Baylor is going to be so embarrassed!


I wish I had seen that! I bet it was funny!

We are getting quite the collection of Disney drawings from the Animation Studio. We probably won't get the chance to draw this next trip because we will have Harper but in May/June we sure will!

The sleigh ride is certainly something to do when you are there at Christmas and have a little extra time!

I'll have to get the new Vera out of it's bag and take a picture!

Yes!


Please do!

Thanks, I guess we have to be on our toes to keep our students wondering what's up next!
Do you think he'll fall for the Prince Albert in the can prank call then next time?

I think I may have some anticipatory pictures from the previous time we thought we mght be motoring to WDW.......

can't wait to see these!

Beach Club, 5 nights.

Sounds fun! Hope you survive the long car ride! Although, once you get there, I'm sure you will be glad you have your car! Are you going to leave your car at the port? We usually stay at the port the night before, leave our car at the hotel and ride their shuttle to the port.It usually works out a little cheaper than paying to park at the ports.


Sit on the end. Be very quiet about it.

We had always taken a rubber band before but the mailing tube worked so well. Then a CM told us about the Pringles container. That sounded so simple! Baylor typically eats more than a can or two while we are down at Disney!

I didn't know that! You are full of good tips! I also didn't know that about getting the drawing that the CM drew.

We have never done a segway tour. Maybe when Baylor is old enough or when Marc and I are down there by ourselves. It does sound like fun!

I would like to do a Segway tour sometime too, they sound fun! I've never done any of the Disney tours! Maybe, when Michael is older!

OH GEEZ, YES please do get that Vera out of the closet and the bag and share........I mean it's probably feeling all lonely and unloved if you have actually left your new bag, IN a bag for this long!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT, I JUST KNEW IT.........remember........open the soap and burn the candles!!

[MegansMom]

Just checkin' in gang! Hoping your week is going much better!!! Here's to a GREAT weekend to come!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I mean, really, the woman lives with me! How bad could it possibly be?

If I had to guess Shocker, you were not the cause of Anita's angst this weekend. That's my theory anyway!

How fun that you did the sleigh ride! If/when we make it down there for the Christmas holidays, I definitely want to do that! It looks like so much fun!

I am rolling that you made a name for yourself with Melvin!!!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

What an awesome summer vacation you have planned!

Driving can be fun....and you can stop at the Florida Welcome Center for pics and some Fresh OJ...a highlight for us!

Thanks uncw89 for posting the pics of the frames!
I think they are great souveniers.

 

[Happydog]

Hey there! So I caught up on the antics at DHS and the great time with the sleigh ride at FW! Looking forward to photos when you can! Just three weeks away! How exciting! I'll be starting my TR this weekend. I am sorry last week wasn't the best, but a weekend always helps set me straight when I need it.

 

[Lovemy3babes]

A sleigh ride at Disney sounds so, so neat!

The bag is still in the bag, but when I get it out, I WILL take a picture and post it for those that really are interested....
It's been a busy week.

I'll tell you this, it's going to be an interesting ride! All the way to Florida. How hard can it be. Get in the car and drive.
Much easier than all the hassle of the airport.
Pack the bags.
Worry about the weight of the bags.
Load the car.
Unload the car.
Check in at the airport.
Check the weight of the bag.
Check the bag.
Go through security...........
Wait on the flight.
Wedge yourself and carry-on bags into your tiny seat space.
Then go.
Deal with the passengers around you.

How hard can driving be?

Load the car and drive...

Just sit miss Barrie Lee on the end and have her walk up after it's over to show the animator her drawing. I'll just bet she walks back with an extra drawing!

A nice, long vacation after the school year ends sounds perfect! The cruise and Vero should be so relaxing.

We really are looking forward to that summer trip, but first we have to suffer through our Spring Break trip.

Hey there!! We're back! Sitting in the Airport reading the DIS but not very easily on my phone! Lol! So I have to catch up but I was thinking about the pillow cases too! Very cute. And I am so glad you did the sleigh ride! It was one of the best experiences we had last XMAS!

Can't wait to read your updates!

Good to know about the hair dryers. We will take one of the purple lockers with us and I'll make sure it has my hair dryer in it! I keep one down there all the time, along with a flat iron!
Can't wait to read all about your adventures at sea!

It's all good now, they finally announced the plan for the make up days. Last day of school will be May 26th, so barring anymore crazy storms we should be fine!



Hope things have gotten better!

Do lots of people decorate like that in your neighborhood at home? They sure do here in Derby! We have tour buses driving through our neighborhood. It's crazy!
Awesome about your end of school! I wish we would hear about ours. I keep watching for something to come up in our BOE minutes but not a word so far.

can't wait to see these!



I would like to do a Segway tour sometime too, they sound fun! I've never done any of the Disney tours! Maybe, when Michael is older!

Don't encourage him!!!

Love them, Michael was sure little in that first one! Such a handsome boy!

Just checkin' in gang! Hoping your week is going much better!!! Here's to a GREAT weekend to come!

Thanks Jen! I need to find a dress for the wedding! Well I have one but it's a fall back dress. I need a better one!

If I had to guess Shocker, you were not the cause of Anita's angst this weekend. That's my theory anyway!

How fun that you did the sleigh ride! If/when we make it down there for the Christmas holidays, I definitely want to do that! It looks like so much fun!

I am rolling that you made a name for yourself with Melvin!!!

No it's wasn't Marc. It was the ex-husbands new wife.
The sleigh ride is fun, but there really is so much to do. Just make sure you have time for it all!
Are you thinking that this next Christmas is maybe not happening now?
I can't wait to see Melvin in a few weeks!
I want to pull the prank call again.....

What an awesome summer vacation you have planned!

Driving can be fun....and you can stop at the Florida Welcome Center for pics and some Fresh OJ...a highlight for us!

Thanks uncw89 for posting the pics of the frames!
I think they are great souveniers.

I can't wait to have that drink of OJ at the welcome center! It will be a first for us!
Our summer trip is going to be awesome! Have I mentioned that we have tickets to see Katy Perry too?

Hey there! So I caught up on the antics at DHS and the great time with the sleigh ride at FW! Looking forward to photos when you can! Just three weeks away! How exciting! I'll be starting my TR this weekend. I am sorry last week wasn't the best, but a weekend always helps set me straight when I need it.

I need to hop over and see if you started!
Last week was so busy I almost didn't have time to think!

A sleigh ride at Disney sounds so, so neat!

If you are ever there around Christmas and if you have the time I say do the sleigh ride!

 

[Blesseddaddy]

If I had to guess Shocker, you were not the cause of Anita's angst this weekend. That's my theory anyway!

Really Jackie??? Do we need to butter him up anymore?? I mean all the reading I have been doing on this thread, "he" apparently is the next best thing since sliced bread!!!!!!!!

I vote that Wigd. gives us an update so that we can learn more about the RENTAL and how well he adapted to driving at the World and BEYOND! (besides if she doesn't get moving on this report, she will be finishing it up while at the World in a few weeks....I know.......give her a break she is working on a wedding and all, but I just can wait to find out all the details of this trip, so I can anticipate the excitement of the trip after the next one and how much fun it will be for Shocker to chauffeur Wigd. across the U.S. this summer!! and I know everyone is waiting to brag on him, once she starts showing all the stuff she bought on this trip that "he" was more than willing to pay for and tote for her!! and about all the new Vera's she is hiding in the closet (still in the shopping bags) for future trips that are hidden from him!! and well, just more of the trip in general so we find out how really SWELL he is!!
