I know this was many pages ago but someone was talking about doing the reindeer food. You mix sprinkles with oats & set out for Santa's reindeer. Word of advice DONT THROW IN YOUR YARD!! way too hard to get rid of the evidence! set on the sidewalk or in a bowl easier to sweep up. Just ask DH who spent an hour trying to pick it back up in below zero weather!

Too Funny! I just get DH to shovel it into the garbage can! The kids love throwing it off the front steps!

EXCITING NEWS! I got Magical MAIL TODAY! The UPS guy brought it at 4pm today! Weeheehee! I am soooooo excited!

I have a quick question about crocs. I'm thinking about buying the Athens flip flop for my trip. I printed out the sizing chart and according to that, I would wear a women's size 11! I wear a size 7 or 71/2 so I'm a bit confused. If anyone could help me out with crocs sizing, I would really appreciate it! FYI - on the website, the Minnie Janes for girls are half off (they're now $14.99)! I'm buying them for my DD!

By the way, has anyone heard from Carrie (Peach3es)??? When was she supposed to be back on US soil???

I was thinking about her today too. . . I am thinking that she should probably be in the US this week. . .

Does the ME stuff come seperate?

 

[trixiequilts]

I got my tickets from Undercover Tourist the other day...they aren't nearly as pretty as whatever those other things were that someone posted with the characters on them.

But my tickets are in my grubby little hands!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Mine always has. . . All the documents come and then the ME stuff a week or 2 later.

Yea! How fast did you get them? I'm planning on buying mine from UT as well. I just don't know when I should buy them. We don't leave until the end of January.

I think I ordered them on Monday and had them on Saturday. It was really fast!

 

[trixiequilts]

I was wrong (gasp)!

My tickets are pretty! I just didn't look closely enough at the other side!

I don't have any of the Athens, so I can't help. Although, all of the crocs I own are basically a size larger than I would normally wear.

Speaking of crocs.....did anyone see the new ones - the Nanook! They're like the ballerina slippers with a fuzzy inside (a sleaker Mammoth!) AWESOME!!

I would be willing to pay that much for a once in a blue moon experience. I would just need a real foodie there to talk me through the experience. You up for the job? You explain, I pay.

We will have to wait for me to win the lottery, of course, but as soon as I do. It's my treat!

ME TOO! I'd have to have someone there to help me pronounce some of the things and explain a little of what it was so I don't end up eating like fried cockroaches hidden in some fancy name!!

And I really didn't mean to knock car dealers. We had a very nice salesman last night, he just had to go talk to his "manager" several times during the deal. And they went from offering me $2000 for my car to settling on $4000. I totally feel for them in this financial crisis. In addition to my full time job and 2nd full time job of being a wife/mom, I am also a Realtor. Thankfully I hadn't quit my "day" job to do it full time because we would be in foreclosure because we wouldn't be able to pay our own bills!! I couldn't imagine having an all commission job! I just wish there wasn't so much negotiations! Tell me what you want for the car, I'll tell you what I'll pay, if it doesn't match, see ya later!!

Hello Snowbirds.
I am excited to say we called Disney Dining tonight to change some ADR's. I was stressed because I realized we had too much going on and picked some park days wrong according to EMH. We stick with the avoid parks with EMH philosophy, the evening hours are fine, but I want my Winnie the Pooh breakfast on a day with no AM EMH!!!!

Well surprise surprise they had all our changes available. Got Crystal Palace 8:05 am, Tusker House breakfast 8:00 am. I am thinking the parks must be slow the week we are there, because I truly thought it wasn't going to happen.

We also added Whispering Canyon Cafe Breakfast, Spoodles!

I did ask about our following ressies... Restaurant marrakesh, Teppan Edo and Yak and Yeti if the dining plan had been confirmed. Still a No on all three.

Does anyone know how long before a ressie you can cancel without penalty? If we provide them 24 hrs notice is this good enough?

Once I finalize my dining I'll post the changes.

We only got our ME vouchers and tags the other day from UPS.
We booked a package- will anything else arrive or do we have to wait until check in?

That is great news! Hopefully you are right and it is going to be slow next month.

I think you can cancel an ADR anytime, with the exception of the ones that you have to provide a credit card for.

Evening Snowbirds!
I'm so jealous of all of you getting snow. Don't yell- I just want one good snow. Enough to make a snowman and then winter can be done!
Shelly- I know you must feel like this by now but...

I changed my ADR's a little. Won't happen again I promise!!!! Here's the update-

I know this was many pages ago but someone was talking about doing the reindeer food. You mix sprinkles with oats & set out for Santa's reindeer. Word of advice DONT THROW IN YOUR YARD!! way too hard to get rid of the evidence! set on the sidewalk or in a bowl easier to sweep up. Just ask DH who spent an hour trying to pick it back up in below zero weather!

Very good advice! I also have first-hand experience with this. Plus I had to keep the dog from eating it.

It was me! I never thought of that- last year my son was so young he never thought to check if the actually ate it! Perhaps we'll make a cute little bowl of it for the reindeer instead of sprinkling it around. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!

I have a quick question about crocs. I'm thinking about buying the Athens flip flop for my trip. I printed out the sizing chart and according to that, I would wear a women's size 11!

I'm pming you too. Are we allowed to give websites and share discount codes on here? I have one for crocs that saves quite a bit! I haven't ordered any yet- trying to save a little $$$ at the moment and tennis shoes are top priority for me to get right now. Maybe my next trip to Disney I'll have my Crocs!

 

[Monny2AE]

I forgot to share..

I'm PAID IN FULL!!!!!!! It's so real now!!!!!

We won't talk about the credit card bill I'm gonna get next month Hey at least I earned some Disney Visa points!
