My Disney Store has Disney Dollars IN!!!!!!! I'm running tonight!!!!:cool1:

Yeah! My store had them in too! I am taking DD back to the mall tonight to get crocs.....(40% off at Dillards!!!) and I couldn't get the $$$ in front of her. So yeah me....a 2nd trip to the mall...on a Friday no less!:sad2:

I was just checking to see if you needed any I was going to get some for you if you did.....glad they have them at your store.



Okay so while at the Disney store they had a ton of stuff on sale. 50% off lots of clothes and toys were 25-40% off. Well, I found a Disney shirt for each memner of the family ...except me! I found myself a little tote bag!:yay: I'm going to wrap them all in one box with the Disney bucks and a note telling the kids that "Surprise....We're going to Disney" tucked under the shirts! The sales lady asked me if the Dollars were for the park and I told her my plans for the surprise, She got so excited for me she actually jumped up and down a little!:cool1: As she was telling me how cool a surprise that would be and how excited my kids were going to be her co worker was counting out Disney dollars and BAM!!! It hit me! I mean smack dab in the middle of my heart!

I'm going to Disney...

I'm going with my family.....

My kids are going to be so excited.....

We are going to have so much fun being with each other at Disney!

Right there at the Disney Store counter!

How am I ever going to make it down Main Street if I loose it at the Disney Store? So all of you going in early January...If you see a woman totally bawling on the Magical Express, or Main Street, or heck at the Check-in Counter at the airport....It's just me and I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY! :cloud9:
 
Congratulations to everyone getting Magical Mail! That means we're getting close to getting ours, too! :cool1:

We are official DONE with our shopping! :banana: Also, everything but that for our DS is wrapped. :banana: :banana: Every year my DH and I take a day off work to finish shopping. We didn't have much to finish, so we were able to get wrapping done too!!

I think we're going to the zoo tonight - they do a HUGE light display through-out the whole zoo and have train rides and carousel rides. Plus, there's a HUGE indoor train display that DS just loves! Of course, it's like 20 degrees here!:scared1: :scared1: OH well, we just bundle up and enjoy the weather - at least we don't have 10" of snow! Tomorrow is Disney on Ice! YEAH!

First of all - how sweet! I'm an emotional sap, so I cry at every little thing....However, I think its great that you get emotional about taking a trip to Disney with your family...Okay, I don't know if that sounds right.

I also want to say,that for the most part, I love our Disney Store employees. They're always so helpful and kind - its because they share the love of Disney with us!

I too am a total sap!! I cry just going to the Disney store.Especially knowing I have a surprise trip in store. I even cried on the phone talking to the CM about my discount!!!:) I just love my little kids and this is the most fun for our family--some of our best memories are made here---so I tear up quite a bit!!!And then there is always the last day.......wow, my poor hubby-- I am usually quite snappy because I am so emotional. I try to work on that every year!! Maybe after a few more trips I will have it down!!! GEEZ!! I am a nut!!(well, a Disney nut!)
 
Did you call the one at carousel?? I need to pick some up as well. We leave in a month!


OOOOOO!!!! I LOVE Carousel Center mall! I was there the day that it opened and waited in line for 2 hours to ride the carousel! I miss that mall SO much! I haven't been there in a few years. Maybe next weekend I can sneak over there. We're celebrating Christmas with my mom's side of the family next Saturday and then having brunch the next day with my dad's side of the family. As for Christmas shopping....I'm officially done! I finished up my DH's gifts today and I got my DD's Irish dancing teacher & assistant little gifts today. I'm going to start wrapping tonight. I actually enjoy wrapping gifts!

As for tearing up at the Disney Store, I started crying watching the Samantha Brown special last week! Even though we're not going at Christmastime, just looking at the park was enough for me. I started thinking about the big surprise and how excited my DD is going to be. Sometimes, I can't believe that we're actually going!

Shawna-It's so good to hear from you! Glad that you're feeling better! I've offered to make a list of people's schedule's for the end of the month so meets can be arranged. So far, I've had one response. :sad1: I really don't mind because I need something to keep me busy. I know that not everyone is comfortable posting their itinerary, so I'm doing this via PM's.

That's EXACTLY when I started crying! It gave me goosebumps. I don't care when my next trip is, as long as it's when the parks are all decorated!
 
Just called our local store and they have them! They just got more in today, so there is hope! :) I already had a few for the kiddies, but I am going to pick up a little more. :thumbsup2

Yup, it's the Carousel store! I asked for my Dis-ers whether they had more, and they said yes they got lots! :) I asked if they would hold them by phone request and they said no, but when I asked if I should be alright stopping by tonight or tomorrow, her guess was that it should be fine. :thumbsup2

In my previous post I forgot to mention one other thing about Carousel Center. My mom and older sister both used to work at the Disney Store there! I used to visit them there ALL the time! My mom worked there the year we won our trip to WDW. She told her manager she had to quit (no Disney employees could win), but they held her job for her! Once we came back home, she started working there again.

My mom said she teared up every time she and my dad drove under the welcome arch when they took us there as kids. She mentioned that during the trip from the car to the park she always thought she was going to pee her pants she was so excited (her words, not mine - :rotfl: ).

I think I'm going to shed a few tears too, just because I am so happy to be able to enjoy this with my kids. I am SO grateful to be in a financial position to do this for us.

My only regret - not to totally hijack the post - is that DH isn't the least bit excited about going. He is totally humoring me, and he honestly doesn't understand why I want to take the kids there. I haven't been there since I was about 11 - so three decades or so ago - and I remember it as being, literally, magic. I want my kids to experience that for themselves. pixiedust: I just wish DH would catch a little of the pixiedust: himself. :sad2:
