January 2009. . . Calling all Snowbirds ~ Part V

I was checking the ADR list, and found some fellow diners!

Trixiequilts - what time will you be at CRT on the 24th? we'll be there at 10.

Kazooie01- we will be waltzing into Chef Mickey's just 15 minutes after you.

Also- for those of you who have scored the LGMH from the depot, what are your plans for them? I scored a bag load of them, but I'm limited on ideas.:confused3



I'm going to laminate one and attach it to my bag.
 
Just read about this on allears.net. I SOOOOO have to do this!!!! It looks too cool to pass it up.
Disney's Design-A-Tee

Meghan...I'm also definitely going to stop in there and get a t-shirt made for my trip!! WOOT...the store sounds like so much fun!!!!!!!!

Here are the photos I found of the kids at the Barber shop.... do get there early as it gets busy!!

Love the pictures...the barbershop looks so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I'm embarassed to say I just found this thread. I guess I never noticed the 'countdowns and live reports" part before? Anyway - I am heading down on THIS Friday! I'm staying at the WL villas with my niece and her three adorable kids. Her husband will be at a conference every day, so I will be the extra pair of hands as we tour the parks! I'm a little nervous that I won't live up to my reputation as the Disney expert, but I'm sure we will have a good time. I hope the days end up being a little warmer than predicted, but since it is supposed to be 9 degrees here when I leave - I will be happy with low 60s! I am going out today to buy a couple extra pairs of jeans - just in case it ends up being too chilly for shorts, and I plan to pack on sunday while watching football. I am so excited about this trip!!!!
 
I checked my dining and here is what we have in common with other Snowbirds...

Mama Melrose on 1/26 we will be there at 5pm SingingLizzie at 4:35
LeCellier on 1/28... we will be there at 6pm... also there are Payb5230 and Desnik
 

I've changed mine so often I don't even know where to begin to see if I will meet up with others!!

BTW found out one of my teen girls and her family will be at DIsney at the same time. I'm hoping to be able to see her and spend some time with her at a park...my biggest issue is the dining thing...most days I have meals that break up my day a bit to give me a break...and I don't know if at this late hour I could change one or two of my ADRs for two people instead of one???
 
Hello all!!! I am at 14 days!!! Meghan--I have got to go to the tee-shirt store!! That is sooooo funny!! I told dh I was gonna make one for my stepdad with Happy dwarf that says...."I'm the Stepfather". That's what my nickname is for him---he's soooooo not the typical stepdad-he just wants to have fun everywhere we go. Wouldn't that be cute?!

Well, I gotta get my list of things to ship ready by Wed. Can anyone confirm that the resorts are definitely charging $5 holding fee?

Meghan and Kim--I think we may have to try and get ressies at T-Rex that 1st night.... My middle one is the dino man--so he would love it!!! Then we could all meet there!!!

As far as the airport---we should be landing around 1:45.....So I will be hunting those LGMH when I get there----especially at the Disney ME place!!

Shelly and Trixie...since you were asking what I looked like...here is a picture of my sisters and I from the cruise last year. I'm the one in the middle. I usually wear in a ponytail minus the braids and I have a Eeyore hat.

What time are you at Chef Mickey's...Jan 20...we are there for dinner also at 6:35. I also am doing Fantasmic Jan 22.

Here is the pic...

Great picture Manaliz! :goodvibes We will be on the lookout for you. I think my Chef Mickey's ADR is about an hour before you on the 20th then. So we may be leaving when you come in.

Do you have a Fantasmic package on the 22nd? We do, so we will be sitting in that section.

Trixie
- I think Manaliz may be a lot younger than us! :ssst:
 
Do we know what Manaliz looks like?

Trixie - I think I posted that backwards. I have an ADR match with Manaliz on the 20th at Chef Mickey's. You and I and Drakes have an ADR match on the 21st at 1900 Park Fare.

And I believe you and I am Manaliz all will be sitting in the reserved Fantasmic package seating on the 22nd.

Okay, I hope I got that all straight! :rotfl:
 
Ok for my lack of lime green mickey heads, everyone just keep your eyes peeled for these two northern loons:

:lmao: I won't be wearing the hat though!

This was from our cruise last year.

This was our first attempt at our Christmas card. My dad took it a bit crooked! But you can see our faces pretty good. In the one we used, there was some flash off the fireplace screen (it annoyed me, but we did this the Thursday before Christmas, so I didn't have time to worry about it)!

Great pictures, thanks for posting!! :goodvibes

WELCOME to the Snowbirds! :cool1: Have a great trip!
 
good evening snowbids...

Well I have started my long trip down to the World. We are now in Vancouver and we drive to Seattle on Monday for our flight to Orlando. Only 3 more sleeps!!!

I still have some more last minute details to plan, but I am so so excited!!!
:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

Have a safe and happy journey to WDW! :cool1:
 
Hi snow friends happy Saturday. We are to get snow, but I am hoping for just rain. Everyone is in planning mood and I am in a state of depression. :upsidedow Missing WDW. I meant to tell you all that Splash Mountain was closed when we want to MK on 1/1 and it stayed closed as far as I could tell. It had a sign and that sign stayed there all week. Everyone that is leaving have great time. Any questions let me know. I just uploaded all my pictures that we took. Photo pass pictures came out horrible. Many are very blurry or eyes closed. I have to go to the market for some things for DS party tonight. I will try and check back in later.

They didn't have any at Target today and I forgot to buy some at the grocery store. I guess I'll be doing that tomorrow!
If you can't find any, let me know. Each of my girls got two for Christmas, so we have two extra that we won't be using, and I'd be happy to mail them to any of my fellow snowbirds.

Also- for those of you who have scored the LGMH from the depot, what are your plans for them? I scored a bag load of them, but I'm limited on ideas.:confused3
I am laminating and making a couple tags with my screen name and Snowbirds on it for our bags. I'm also using some with some other colors to make door magnets with our first names on them for our cruise cabin door. DH went nuts printing pictures on magnet paper that he found on DISigns thread so now we have 4 big magnet signs too!

I'm embarassed to say I just found this thread. I guess I never noticed the 'countdowns and live reports" part before? Anyway - I am heading down on THIS Friday! I'm staying at the WL villas with my niece and her three adorable kids. Her husband will be at a conference every day, so I will be the extra pair of hands as we tour the parks!

I am so excited about this trip!!!!
It's never too late to join us! :welcome: and I hope you have a great trip!
I've changed mine so often I don't even know where to begin to see if I will meet up with others!!

BTW found out one of my teen girls and her family will be at DIsney at the same time. I'm hoping to be able to see her and spend some time with her at a park...my biggest issue is the dining thing...most days I have meals that break up my day a bit to give me a break...and I don't know if at this late hour I could change one or two of my ADRs for two people instead of one???

I'll bet you can for some of them, I've been able to change things and make new ones pretty easily with only a few weeks to go! Let us know if it works!
 
Not doing too much here today. Just staying inside and watching it snow. Boy are we getting pounded by snow, we will probably get at least a foot by the time it is over. :eek:
 
Good Morning snowbirds! I was down and out yesterday afternoon and evening with a MIGRAINE:scared1: the worst one I've had yet. All I can say is I'm glad it's out of my system and hopefully I won't get that while I'm in WDW!

My DH is still being a :scared: about this trip! Last night he said that he will be happy about getting out of the Wisconsin deep freeze, but that's all he's happy about. He said he's not going on ANY rides and is going to just sit and wait for us. WHATEVER He comments everytime he sees me on this website also, so I try to do this when he's not home.

I hope everyone leaving in the next couple of days has good travel weather. The weatherman just said that Chicago was having travel delays today...:mad:

Well, I'm off to get some breakfast and then to get some work accomplished.

I can't remember who asked...but we are in a fridge swap at POP.
:yay: Me..It was me asking. I'm also in a swap this time and I'm a bit leary..hope it turns out okay with little hassle.
Question~~
For those of you who have bought pins online...
where did you buy them? Anywhere other than ebay?
Thanks!
I have bought pins, lots of 50 pins, on ebay from 2 different sellers. I bought some this year that are BEAUTIFUL and for 50, it was $98 including shipping. My girls loved them and it's going to be really hard trading some away.
 
Just to let you all know - I resolved my saga with my iron last night. I spent about 30 minutes cleaning it off - ugh. But I was able to do two more shirts with no trouble. So far only one shirt looks a little funny - the design ended up on there crooked. I still have about 6 or 8 to go! I haven't ironed this much in a year!

Got a little cleaning done this a.m. while I'm waiting for my friends to come over. One of my friends is single and adopted a little girl from China. She is three years younger than my youngest, so I give her all of our outgrown clothes. It's a win-win situation - She gets free clothes and I get to purge our storage area of stuff. I used to sell them at a garage sale, but I'd rather help them out. It's so funny to see her wearing them - I get all nostalgic! So they are coming over in a bit to go through the two big totes full of clothes and play. Another friend is coming to have lunch and visit too.
I'm walking around the house (well, sitting now) in my newest sneakers, making sure they will be comfy for WDW!

OH Meghan - I just got an email from Crocs!! They shipped my order! I bet you will have yours in time for your trip too! :yay:

Shelly - one more day until single digits for you!
