I am going to try to post some pictures either tonight or tomorrow. We didn't get to see Wishes last trip so we didn't see Tink Fly and I can not wait and that made me think of a funny story so I thought I would share.

My daughter Alexis was obsessed with Peter Pan when she was 3 she used to have a little Peter she would carry everywhere. She lost it at my Mom's the one time and my sister called screaming and crying I found Peter I found Peter it was on the floor. She dressed up as him as Halloween and we would have to watch Peter Pan 5 times a day.

One day we were watching Peter Pan and my husband says I just love Tink and everytime I hear them say Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust I could just cry. I told my whole family and everyone teases him about it. So for a long time everyone would say Tom Faith Trust and Pixie Dust he used to get so mad about it and we would all crack up laughing. Now he says what can I say I just have a thing for Tink....

I think you are going at a really great time. Spring Break is over and you are going before the big May rush.

You have a long day planned at MGM. Maybe take a rest after dinner and come back for supper at Momma's and than do Fantasmic.

We were trying to plan it around Spring Break but I found out alot of schools are doing them later this year so I am hoping we will be okay. We are driving down so my husband needed 8 days in the park and 4 days driving so we had to go when he could get off. We were thinking of maybe not getting to MGM till right before our ADR' at 50's cafe this way the day won't be as long.

Is DH a golfer? There are excellent golf courses that you could set him up to play a round at (golf club rental as well). Is he a NASCAR fan? They have the Richard Petty Driving Experience. If he is a Sports Fan you could check with what sporting events are going on at the Sports Complex there on property. Is he into massages and such? The Saratoga Spring complex has an excellent spa as does the Grand Floridian (so I'm told! ha)

Just throwing out options! Good luck with the plans and I'm enjoying the Pre Trip!

Thanks for all the ideas but he doesn't like golf or nascar and definately wouldn't be into massages but maybe I should get one for him LOL!

Well there isn't much going on trip related I am trying to finish Christmas shopping we have a 2004 Grand Am and it was constantly breaking down we put 5,000 in it since May. So we went ahead and got a new car we owed to much on the old one and it has to many miles for a trade in so I had to put 1,000 down that I wasn't planning on. So I have been a little stressed about that and trying to find a stupid Wii hopefully I will get one soon.

You're way ahead of me! I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet. Luckily I don't have too many people to shop for. Husband, parents, nieces, nephew, in-laws. Not too bad. I still don't know what to get anyone though.

I am really behind I normall have all the girls santa gifts bought but with so many car repairs I am behind and I am trying to not buy as many gifts this year so I figured if I got a late start maybe I wouldn't spend as much.

I haven't had to much planning things to share I have been busy with the holidays coming and am kind of at a stand still I got all the ADR's done so now I just have to decide on a few things.


Make Reservations for hotel on the way down still deciding if we should do this or just wing it I would like to drive 10 hours the first day last time we booked a hotel off of hotels.com and it was a huge mistake we ended up not spending the night and drived 16 1/2 hours with a 3 hour break.


Autograph Books- Last time I bobought them off of ebay and think it would have been cheaper to just buy them at Disney.


Princess Dressess??? My younger daughter did this last time wore it for 10 minutes and complained the whole time we are doing BBB and eating in the castle so I am deciding if I should skip it my older daughter had me buy her one last time refused to do BBB and refused to wear the dress.

Matching Shirts? I am thinking maybe for one day we will get some sort of cute shirts made but don't know how my husband is going to feel about it.
