[Simba22]

you should come october 31

We'll see! We actually just requested showings for 2 condos in the area...both are reasonably priced so I have a good feeling! I decided that I felt way too guilty to go to Florida if we were still living at home so I decided to stop putzing around and just go for it. Hopefully things will work out!! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

 

[ILMICKEY]

You mean in the Kissimmee/Orlando area?? How cool is that??? My fingers are crossed for you.

Too bad one of the perks of signing a lease wasn't free Disney tickets!!

That would be GREAT if you could go while we are there! We can sit on benches and talk while Lumar is you know where, doing you know what!!! (that's a Disney map he's looking at. He is scoping out all the bathrooms!!)

No reallly, I hope you get to go. No matter when.

Thanks Nik! Unfortunately, the condos we are looking at are here in CT. Lumar decided he doesn't want to leave his mom here by herself (she's in her early 60's) and I don't really want to leave the animal shelter I volunteer for. So we decided to suck it up and just deal with CT prices

We found a nice little condo that's like 720 sq. ft with a little balcony/porch so my bunnies can go out into the sunshine! It's only one bathroom and only one bedroom but it's only $115k, it's only the two of us, and it's only a few blocks from where I live now so it's a good neighborhood. The price is steep considering what $115k would get me in Florida, but you do what you gotta do, right? I'll keep you guys updated!

ETA: LMAO about us waiting for Lumar! That's the story of my life! He got called into work yesterday morning at the last minute...of course I thought he was off so I slept in a little bit and as I was walking out the door to come to my job, he suddenly gets a call from his job. So I told him to hurry up before he made me late and what does he do? Spend the next TWENTY MINUTES in the bathroom!!! : BTW, he has appointment next Friday to take his license exam! Pray really hard for him/me!

 

[Alysa]

Cute report. I love the purse you got your Mum! (Where did you get it?) Her list of things she is NOT going to do was cute. I know what you mean about missing your Grandmother (mine passed away recently too and I miss her like crazy!)

 

[ILMICKEY]

Simba~well darn it! I thought for sure I was going to have a future place to stay when I just needed to get away. Oh well. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. But WOW, that is really expensive for a condo. I think. I really don't know what condos go for.

Are you sure you're going to be okay with 1 bathroom??? Tell him good luck on his exam.


Alysa~Hi! Brandi got that for me from the disney store but they have them online too. They even have a smaller one. It kind of reminds me of LV, but with MM. Kind of cute how they did it.

I'm so sorry about your grandma. It's hard to fill that void.

 

[Simba22]

Are you sure you're going to be okay with 1 bathroom???

i hope i'll survive..... although i contacted the agents and no one has called me back yet....

 

[Simba22]

i hope i'll survive..... although i contacted the agents and no one has called me back yet....

OK...one of the agents just got back to me and told me that the condo association at this particular place doesn't allow rabbits I can have a cat, that claws the furniture/walls/carpets and has the potential to spray all over the place...but my litter box trained, CAGED rabbits are not allowed. I hate people. Whatever...we'll take our money (or lack thereof!) elsewhere! I didn't want to live in that condo anyway...the carpet was ugly!

[b.head2008]

click on the picture, it will take you to a slide show from my mini vaca

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

So Brandi you look more like your mom Now with your hair blonder!

 

[b.head2008]

yeah... everyone else sees it, me not so much! prolly cause shes so tan and im so white!

 

[b.head2008]

So 86 days till me and my mom take off to the big scary airport. We decided not to rent a car. And im okay with that, i'd rather spend my money on random things so were going to order groceries and have them sent to us at the hotel. Im packing meal bars in my suitcase, and plan on buying a whole bumch of water and bread and peanutbutter and jelly for cheap lunches...

How do you feel about taking backpacks into the park? i was thinking we could through all of our water and snacks and money in it, that way i dont have to wear the kicking cool fanny pack my mom just bought me.

Im excited about the photopass thing. Do you think that the CM's get annoyed when you ask them to take your pictures? i dont want to be the annoying person whose like excuse me!!

SO my moms surprise was an autograph book, full of characters telling my mom that they couldnt wait to see her. she loved it I think im going to buy the one where you put the picture in next to their signature. I was also thinking since mommyso dearest bought me a fanny pack, making matching shirts!! haha

Anther question... im thinking about bringing my lap top that way when we get back to the hotels from the parks, we could just load the pictures on my lap top that way i dont run out of space on my memory cards. Is that a good idea?

My ex's sister has never been to disney and she lives in Florida so i had an idea, mom wants to go to epcot all by herself for a night, so i invited her to come and hang out for the night, and she seems so excited

But im off to shower... Hope everyones doing well!!

So 86 days till me and my mom take off to the big scary airport.

sooo jealous!!! And yes, the airports are getting VERY scary with their bag fees! I was talking to my parents this weekend and when we go back next October we may be driving down! It will be cheaper that way!

Im packing meal bars in my suitcase, and plan on buying a whole bunch of water and bread and peanutbutter and jelly for cheap lunches...

YUM! I love PB & J Uncrustables! They're so good! And they're already made!

How do you feel about taking backpacks into the park? i was thinking we could through all of our water and snacks and money in it, that way i dont have to wear the kicking cool fanny pack my mom just bought me.

NIKKI YOU DIDN'T!!! Did you REALLY get her a fannypack?!? Well, anyhoo, I never go to WDW without my backpack. It sucks having to lug it around but it's so worth it. You can keep food, bandaids, cell phones, cameras, wallets, and small disney stuff that you buy, in there and not have to worry about losing it. I went to DTD without the backpack one night and I was totally thrown off! I didn't have a chapstick , no extra napkins (which of course we needed) and nothing to carry my wallet and cell phone in. It was a hot mess...

Im excited about the photopass thing. Do you think that the CM's get annoyed when you ask them to take your pictures? i dont want to be the annoying person whose like excuse me!!

The PP Photogs are totally cool...I've never met one that looked bothered by my presence!

Anther question... im thinking about bringing my lap top that way when we get back to the hotels from the parks, we could just load the pictures on my lap top that way i dont run out of space on my memory cards. Is that a good idea?

YES!! Plus it will kill time when waiting at the airport. I seriously want to buy a laptop, SOLELY for the purpose of bringing it to WDW. I recommend, however that you also bring a large flash memory drive, and back up your pics to that...don't rely on the computer JUST IN CASE!

 

[b.head2008]

I know i heard it was 50 dollars for an extra bag!!! i need to control my shopping or make sure i dont over pack. haha

uncrustables are GREAT..

And yeah i think the backpacks are a good idea. are there places for you to put them while your on the rides?

And anther perk in bringing the lap top we can DIS while we're laying at the pool

 

[ILMICKEY]

I did!! It's a Hanna Montana fanny pack to go along with the purple crocs I got her. She will look so cute, just like she did when she was little!

You can't really see it, but it's there. Don't the boys look adorable with theirs? Actually my mom bought them for the kids. They were able to keep their pens and autograph books right in them.

So cute!

What is wrong with a fanny pack? LV and Coach make them. They are so convenient. Brandi you can just stick your little snacks right in them.

Simba, it's not the price of the baggage that scares me. It's the whole freaking plane ride thing. I picked our seats Saturday. Near the wing and the exit. I'm thinking when the plane is crashing and we get to a certain height, I'm jumping. My carryon will really be a parachute.


*******************************************ZSzeb001_ZN



Okay, are these not the cutest smileys??

The rows on the plane seem weird to me. There are only 2 rows of 3 seats. Is this a little plane? I thought there were 3 sets of seats.
I am so plane illiterate.

Jay really wants Brandi to videotape me during the flight. I'm thinking he thinks it will be quite comical.

So, you don't like the fannypack? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

K so I am weighing in a the Fanny pack issue!
Pro's
easy
not heavy
no need to store it when on a ride

Cons
ugly
not enough room (well for me)
ugly
ugly (did I mention that one!)
Ok the only thing with bring in a back pack or any bag for that matter it has to undergo a bag check... If you bring one don't use one with a lot of pockets. I think ours had 5 zippers and OMG they had to check each one!

Hey check into sending a box down to the hotel with all your food items! That is what we did! I think it only cost me 15- 20 dollars to ship a HUGE box down. That beats $50. for and extra bag! Plus if you only send food down then you can throw out the box when you are all done and don't worry about shipping anything back.I heard that having water shipped from one of those internet places is good! Cheap too! I've always had a kitchen since we have always stayed at the fort wilderness cabins, but so we always just refilled the water bottles and stuck them in the fridge for the night.
As for the lap top I would if I had one! One you can watch movies on the flight (maybe not one of a plane crash don't want MOM to flip out on the plane) and you can download your pix and yes you can do you trip report as it happens. I really want one but for now I have to settle for just the desktop as I want an apple or mac air book. And the fact that we are buying a house and goine to disney within the coming year... I am thinking the MAC AIR BOOK is going to be last on my list for a while because you know disney will take a close second to my new house!
Keep the count down going!!!

Oh and NIKKI have you finished your trip report from LAST YEAR

 

[ILMICKEY]

Okay, I give. There will be no fanny pack. I had Brandi going though. Hee hee!!

Though, she said if it was Coach or LV, she would wear one.

We have decided not to rent a car. Both of us are low on funds so I guess the bus system it is. I got us all hooked up with the Magical Express. I so hate not being in control. Will the buses take you from park to park or just park to resort??

I'm thinking about making ressies for the new T-Rex restaurant. Sounds kind of neat. I bought a gift card for Rainforest Cafe. I thought maybe we could eat breakfast before going to AK. I didn't realize until after I paid for it that I could have bought one for T-Rex at the same time. Owned by Landry's.

Then I got to looking for Earl of Sandwich to see if I could buy a gift card from them. I found out we have one right here in Michigan, not too far away in Ann Arbor.

I bought a carryon bag. It is large enough to hold my parachute.

I love it that I won't have to carry anything. I plan to have Xanax in my system, so if anything, I can sit on the carryon and Brandi can just pull me.

So what does one put in a carryon bag?? Never a need for one, so I'm not sure.

Important papers~check
MP3 player~check
Makeup~check (tell me what makeup I can't put in there)

Note about me:
I have to have makeup on at all times. I would never EVER go in public without it. This is why I have to have it with me. I could bear my luggage getting lost and wearing the same outfit for a week, but not my makeup. I wouldn't leave the room unless someone brought me some. So this is why it has to come with me.

Do I have issues??

On to the list.

1 outfit~check (really I need more than 1 outfit. How would I wash the other one??)
Magazines~Check (will I need this if I have Xanax, will I care??)
Cell Phone~Are these allowed on the plane? Can you really call someone from that high?

What else? I doubt I will need snacks since I'm pretty sure I won't be feeling the greatest.

I had a dream last night. Jay took us to the airport, but for some reason we got on a bus. This bus took us to the airport in North Carolina. I remember pissing the bus driver off, but can't remember why. We had to stay at a hotel until it was time for our plane to leave. It was dark and I was walking from the hotel to the aiport, all alone. I came across a small plane that had crashed. I kept walking until I heard a little boy yell "help". I went to him, he was crying. Poor little guy. I said is there anyone else, he pointed to his brother sitting in something, not sure what it was, but he was in shock. I took off with the little boy to go get some help for his brother, he was too big for me to carry.

Then I woke up!

What do you make of that??

I'm one messed up puppy!

 

[DISNEY4XMAS]

THANK GOD NO FANNY PACK THEY ARE SO UGLY NO THEY ARE FUGLY


We have decided not to rent a car. Both of us are low on funds so I guess the bus system it is. I got us all hooked up with the Magical Express. I so hate not being in control. Will the buses take you from park to park or just park to resort?? Bus system isn't bad I have only ever used that! Magical express is long but hey it is FREE! Usually there are three hotels on one bus for Magical express, Not sure on what it does for the POP (that is where you are staying right?) I think you have to take the buses from Resort to park. Or to the transportation area. You maybe able to go to the water parks from the parks but not sure we usually stay in one park all day and then crash onto a bus at night and head back to the resort

I'm thinking about making ressies for the new T-Rex restaurant. Sounds kind of neat. I bought a gift card for Rainforest Cafe. I thought maybe we could eat breakfast before going to AK. I didn't realize until after I paid for it that I could have bought one for T-Rex at the same time. Owned by Landry's.Where is this T-Rex restaurant??AND Why haven't I heard of IT!

Then I got to looking for Earl of Sandwich to see if I could buy a gift card from them. I found out we have one right here in Michigan, not too far away in Ann Arbor. MMMMM Earl of Sandwich It was majorly BUSY when we were there and I think it took us longer to order the food than to eat it!

I bought a carryon bag. It is large enough to hold my parachute. ( You WON"T NEED IT )

Its cute is it PINK TOO! EVEN BETTER!
I love it that I won't have to carry anything. I plan to have Xanax in my system, so if anything, I can sit on the carryon and Brandi can just pull me.

So what does one put in a carryon bag?? Never a need for one, so I'm not sure.

Important papers~check
MP3 player~check
Makeup~check (tell me what makeup I can't put in there) ANYTHING OVER THREE YES THAT IS 3.OZ LIPSTICK BASE ANYTHING LIQUID NOTHING OVER THREE ONCES OR IT GOES IN THE TRASH

Note about me:
I have to have makeup on at all times. I would never EVER go in public without it. This is why I have to have it with me. I could bear my luggage getting lost and wearing the same outfit for a week, but not my makeup. I wouldn't leave the room unless someone brought me some. So this is why it has to come with me.

Do I have issues??NAW , WELL NO MORE THAN THE REST OF US!:lmao:

On to the list.

1 outfit~check (really I need more than 1 outfit. How would I wash the other one??)
Magazines~Check (will I need this if I have Xanax, will I care??)
Cell Phone~Are these allowed on the plane? Can you really call someone from that high?UM NO YOU CAN'T USE YOUR PHONE UNTIL THE PLANE HAS LANDED. If you have airplane mode than you can use it that way.. which means you can play the games on your phone just NO CALLS

What else? I doubt I will need snacks since I'm pretty sure I won't be feeling the greatest.You will feel FINE you'll have XanaX in your system even if you don't it will be fine! The only bad part is the take off and only because you can see the nose of the plane straight up almost! . . JUST THINK YOU WILL BE AT DISNEY QUICKER THIS WAY!

Ok this is what you call pre DIsney Dreams I had these dreams for two maybe three weeks before we left.. I dreamt that I forgot kids at home, I dreamt that I forgot Zac's insulin I dreamt that the plane went Some where not Near Disney and all my hard work that I put into dinner ressie's and trip planning went out the window... I had my self so freaked out that I wasn't going to get there I actually cried when we got to MCO that is orlando airport since you don't fly to often...... You will love to fly after this is done. My mother in law NEVER Wanted to Fly she was petrified and guess what her sister dragged her on a plan I am thinking it looked something like trying to put a cat into a tub of water (had to give you a visual) and she LOVED it Wants to fly all the time now! You will do Fine

Oh as for the snacks in your carry on NOPE sorry I think you will have to buy them after you get through security all food and beverages must be bought after security check
Here is a Link to the TSA GUIDLINES OF WHAT CAN GO ON THE PLANE
