Sorry I have a lot of catching up to do so there are going to be like 3 posts from in a row

You will be able to soon.

I've never been there. Honestly Pooh and the gang really aren't my favorites, but I wanted to get in the park before a million people do. Oh, and I like breakfast!! I can't wait.

Not soon enough I'm sitting here at work and I found myself with my eyes closed wishing that I would be at Epcot when I opened them. I guess I didn't wish hard enough cuz I'm still here

The food at CP is really good - don't get coffee though! It's that crappy Nescafe stuff and it tastes like dirt no matter how much sugar you put it in. Same coffee they serve everywhere in property... The restaurant itself is beautiful but it tends to feel cramped and crowded when the parade is going through but overall it's a very pleasant experience.

i have done lunch and breakfast here. I don't really remember lunch do to the fact that it was 7 years ago but we did christmas breakfast here and we loved it!

We've only done breakfast although I was considering maybe looking having dinner there one night on our next trip. Although the Plaza was so good we may just go back there to again....decisions decisions....

[ILMICKEY]

Not really anything to update today. I've started selling stuff on Ebay to help fund my disney spending. I made $25 this weekend. Not a bad start.

This weekend we are going to Cedar Point. Jay doesn't do the coasters, ANY coasters so we usually walk around all day. Matt is taking a friend because Robby will be at camp. He goes to a Fine Arts Camp for Orchestra. He went 2 summers ago. It was around 100 degrees the whole time he was there. I picked him up and he was so skinny. They have no air conditioning at all. Poor kids.

This weekend is also my anniversary. 5 whole years. Doesn't seem like a day over 50. Jay argued with me that it was on the 23rd. Guess who got a free dinner because she won the bet?? YEP, ME!

Fake Italian, Yummy. Just don't try the dinner of the month. That wasn't so good. I'm still tasting it today.

Goodness, I really need to get my Trip Report updated don't I? That is if anyone is still interested.

I miss my MDF and my River buddies!

I can never make any money on there I end up having to put money in to cover the shipping cost of everything!!

Poor you going to Roller Coaster HEAVEN and not riding ANY!!!

Hello....... We are still interested! I know all about taking a break I did and I thought I didn't have anymore readers except for you of course but low and behold they were just lurking!!

As for not getting emails from the DIS look in your spam folder because for some reason that is where mine all went . I had to say they weren't JUNK! Not my precious DIS emails!
So lets get moving on finishing the TR because it is bad edict to go on another trip with out finishing the first TRIP REPORT!!!

 

[disneyaddicted]

I have been looking for this PTR, I guess I could of just asked you Nikki for directions.

Hi Brandi, nice to meet you. I am Ty, been a frequent reader of your mothers antics...uh I mean TR's for sometime now. So you work at Bennigans? Awesome, they don;t have those out here, but I practicaly lived at Bennigans in El Paso, Tx, my senior year, it was the place to go after a night at the roller rink, those were the days.

O.K. first off I have to laugh (and I did) about the question of each getting your own Dumbo because of weight limits. Lo and I had a stomache ache laugh over this same question not even a week ago. We could only imagine Dumbo finally after a long struggle getting both our ample butts into the air just to have the steal beam bend on us. We decided if that happens and we are completely sideways, to just go with it, act like it's normal, even when there are sparks flying because Dumbos ears are scraping the ground.

Totally love that Bag you got for Mothers Day. Don't need it but really want it.

My way of saving spending money so far is every time I come home from shopping I dump all the change I got into a jar. I like this because one, I am the type of person who always likes to pay with exact change, I hold up lines while I dig in the bottom of my pocket book for 27 cents, I feel so free now just paying and getting back change, I feel like I am making money cause I get something back, it's a great mind trick I play on myself.

I always go to Disney (always as in twice now) and say to myself, I don't care about prices, if I like it I am getting it, then I talk myself out of it and kick myself for not getting it once I am home. I will get it all this year, I will!!!!

Looking forward to more of your planning, the time is gettin here, you are so close now, so close that i have pangs of jealousy. I'm really cute when i am jealous though.

OMG you should have seen me and my boyfriend on Astro Orbiter! It's funny in retrospect but at the time I was so embarassed! I had so much trouble getting in there and I was so uncomfortable the whole time because my leg was pinched between my boyfriend and the side of the car! OMG and don't even get me started on Space! Only one person to a seat and I just can't get in or out comfortably in one motion.

I do the same thing! I always will scrape up change to pay for something...like when something is 10.01! I HATE THAT! But I like getting back the 99 cents to put in my Tigger bank! Another good trick I learned was to not pay with singles. Always use 5's, 10's, 20's etc, and then put your singles in your change jar/bank. If you don't have them on you, you are less likely to buy small stuff you don't need, like candy bars and junk like that, and it's really motivational when you see a whole wad of singles in your Disney Fund!

OMG I'm sooo mad at myself for not getting something I wanted! I pick things up and walk around with them for like 15 minutes like I'm going to buy them then at the last minute I put them back and leave the store! What did you call it, Nikki? Buyer's Remorse?

 

[ILMICKEY]

I am really Po'd right now about this whole Pleasure Island revamping thing. Where do adults go for a little dancing and fun? They should have never opened it up to non ticket guests. It was for adults and should have stayed that way. Now they are putting in stores and restaurants. Boy, just what Disney needs. Why can't they leave some things that are non family oriented. They ruined the ride in Mexico to make it more for kids by putting Donald and gang in there. Now it's way off what it was supposed to be. A boat ride in Mexico. Now it's a cartoon.

Thanks for letting me vent!! I'm going to go slap my puppy.

Kidding.

Or followed my link. That might have worked too! Not really, I just did that a couple days ago. We don't have the following like others so you can find us on page 2 or 3!

I'm sure glad you know what I'm talking about! How embarassing it would be to have them stop the ride because of a fire hazard. Forever known as the one who broke Dumbo!

This is working for me too. I keep trying to get Jay to donate to the Nikki fund, but he won't. That's alright, I'm making a bill for "other" things. Hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right??

I will be getting all those things I talked myself out of last time. I'm makin a list.

Boy it doesn't seem like it's any closer. I just don't want summer to go quick and thats the only way my vacation will get here faster. I'll bet you're cute. But don't be jealous. You will practically have the park to yourselves in January. We're going on what they call "Jersey Week". Not hearing wonderful things about the crowds. I am seriously hoping people will stay home and vote for the new President.

I like big butts and I can not lie!
Fat bottom girls you make the rockin world go round.

We were at Cedar Point Saturday and I kept asking Jay if my butt was as big as that girl, what about that one? I know it's as big as hers. Hey he wouldn't ride any coasters so I had to stay occupied somehow.

I'd end up robbing all my singles. Especially right before payday when I'm super broke!

Yep, that's what they call it. I wish I'd catch it more. I spend too much money on stuff I need instead of what I really want.

 

[b.head2008]

So 122 more days to go, so far im not at a stressful point yet. My mom and i found a freebie thready and so far ive gotten some tide, lotion, shampoo, and deodorant. There nice cause there all travel size, and i plan on taking those on vacation instead.

160 saved up for money to spend. This week starts the 17 week of saving!! no more spending change, sending home 100 to mommy.This isnt going to be fun! but it sure will be fun when i go!!

I agree with my mom, who gives them the right to shut down pleasure island the year i get to go!!! I remember being a little girl, and my mom and signifacnt lover would leave to go at night, and i would be so mad cause i couldnt go, and i had to stay with my grandma!

Right now the boy that i work with is down at WWD hes in his tigger get up, and doing me a huge favor... I cant tell what the favor is until i give it to my mom, but shes going to love it!

okay off to the beach got to get that tan going!

 

[Simba22]

I really need to get on the Freebies Thread...I never remember to go on there and get free stuff and then I spend like $100 at Target on travel size necessities.


As you can see, I created a ticker for myself....I'm hoping that having it there, counting down the days to when I HOPE we get to go back, will help the time pass by quicker....

 

[b.head2008]

100 more days till we walk into my favorite park.... Magic Kingdom!! i cant wait to stroll down that road and act like a princess all dressed up in my Halloween gear

And while were talking about parties... i might just want to mention... 48 DAYS TILL IM 21!!!! almost 21 years ago, my mother gave birth to an beautiful little girl haha

So this weekend is the wedding... I got a new outfit, and i will take tons of pictures... im also going back to see my family to on sunday i think were gonna take the boat out and go wakeboarding too!! got to show the boys how it done

And simba a year will go by super fast!!

 

[Simba22]

And simba a year will go by super fast!!

Thanks for the encouragement! I actually talked to my mom and she said that she would be OK with us taking a 4 or 5 day trip this October instead of our usual 10 days...so I might not have to wait until 2009! I was sooo excited yesterday and now I'm feeling guilty about it! I don't know if we should go or not!! I WANT to go, but that pesky adult inside me keeps saying "don't go! stay home and pay off you bills!" I feel like no matter what decision I make, I'm going to regret it. What would you do?
