July 2011:Calling all planners-Post your dates & Resort

That does help! But I think the burden on this one should fall on USPS. If you've been tracking it, and it disappeared in their hands... Have you tried calling USPS back and asking for a supervisor?

For whatever reason, it always falls to the originator of the package to instigate the claim. I don't know why; probably to make sure they don't have double claims going on!

18 days! Yesterday, I bought some cheap-o nail polish and it turns out the color is Caribbean Water or something. We're staying at CBR. I guess I know what color to paint my toenails (yes, green!) before I go on vacation! ;)
 
Finally hit the 4 week mark today:dance3:, wish I could start packing but everything would be a wrinkled mess if I pack this early.

They haven't changed the July hours for when we are there does anyone know how far in advance they make those changes? Don't want to print off hours and then have to do it again.

There was a thread from last week about the new July hours from the travel agents. It's kind of fallen way back and I don't have the link but did you check that last week? I'm hoping they haven't changed it either. However, if they do, they do. I can't do anything about it and I'm not going to change around my ADRs. I've got some good ones and I probably can't at this point.

Is your DGD doing okay?

I wouldn't do it yet, wait 2 weeks or so. Just on a side note, I've done all that and printed out the times schedule only to get to WDW and find out they are open later, added a parade or show, etc. Apparently, nothing there is written in stone LOL

It's like our town pool. It's open from 11 - 7. Unless it's open until 8. :lmao:
 

Dear Wendy,

You just keep working and working and the pay sucks! You need a raise. And Paid vacation. To WDW. So no arguments. in 20 Days you just go on that Paid vacation to WDW. See you when you get back.''

Sincerely
The boss
:lmao:
We ae staying in the same hotel. I don't know why I didn't notice this. We should get together one day. No I don't mean with my crazy neighbor!

I can be the crazy neighbor. We have some downtime we are going to spend around the hotel, maybe hang by the pool or whatever.

Let me know if you want to hang out for a bit.
Caroline

I would love to hang out some time!!! I think the pool is a great idea......I will PM you with my cell phone number and take a look at our schedule......

Hey, Wendy.... Great news! Carrie is paying for your vacation!!! :banana: :lmao:

I saw that!!! I am so excited!!!!! :rotfl:


You Rock! :worship: Anyone else look at these and think "Why are they going to a different park that day than I am?" I'm wayyy to OCD!


Thanks - yes, I have had that same thought!! :rotfl2:

Hey, I'll, uh see you at Animal Kingdom. Probably not anywhere else though. I don't usually run into complete strangers more than once. :lmao:

haha ok this took me way to long to decipher :)

My daughter saw her pirate outfit packed and she asked me why I was packing it.... uh.... just because :lmao:

While this is from Harry Potter, it kind of fits the situation. Hagrid, "No more questions, don't ask any more questions!"
 
I wish that would work with her! She is the never ending question asker! She actually never stops talking, aside from being asleep ... she even told me the other day she learned to talk underwater LOL

She has no clue what the pirate stuff is for though ... so it will be a surprise still :)
 
I think my dd has figured out we're going this summer :sad2::sad2: She hasn't said so, but she's kind of alluded to it. I keep telling her we aren't going this summer, but I don't think she believes me anymore.

I'm still going ahead and making my puzzle this weekend. Sunday we're having a family birthday cake for her with my parents and 2 of my brothers and then we're spending Monday in the city. Maybe on Tuesday when DH gets home from work, we'll do a scavanger hunt for the pieces and she can do it all over again. Somehow I don't think she's going to be surprised. And I think the neighbor told her dd, who is on the bus with my dd, that we were going at the same time as them. Even after I told neighbor lady dd doesn't know and asked her not to tell her dd. Grrrr.

Oh well, I'm going to carry on as if she doesn't know and see what happens. I could be wrong. Don't tell DH that. :rotfl::rotfl2:



Oh, and Wendy??? I'm not the boss....hehehe. The boss is paying for your vacation. Was that note signed by me? No! :lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

My son was like that. He's 22 and I still haven't found the off button. Although from about 16 - 19 he didn't talk much...

I don't think they will change them much more, the hours look like they are open as late as possible.......maybe a tweak here or there. I always double check the times guides in the parks anyway......


Thanks for posting this!

Sorry she is on to you. I am glad we are done with surprising - since I can't keep my mouth shut :rotfl: I am sorry to hear you are not the boss! :rotfl2:
 
For those of you talking about dreams... I hope my dream from last night has nothing to do with real life.

I dreamt that I was able to talk with some persons who had previously died. They were then able to take on human form and were hanging out with me and my friends. At the same time, an old boyfriend came to visit me, and I was showing him off. At one point the ghosts got into trouble because it seems that while one was alive he did some terrible things and he was being hunted by the police. As a result, the ghosts were then banned from coming to visit me.

Although that is the cliffnoted version of the dream..... what is that preparing me for? :scared1: :lmao:

It's probably at this point that I should mention I am on a med that actually has a side effect for vivid and bizzarre dreams (I kid not!). I have weird dreams like this all the time! :eek:
 
Well, I'll be in a wheelchair, too, so for many of the MK rides, we'll already have that anyway! :rotfl:

I have no plans on abandoning my niece to the sole custody of her parents but I also have no plans to arrange every minute of my trip around a baby. Someone else pointed out that baby rarely follows the schedule everyone sets out for her, anyway, with mealtime, diaper change time... etc.

Oh well.

She should know that you cannot put a baby on a schedule until they are about 1 year old...anything before that goes out the window :rotfl2:

Hey, Wendy.... Great news! Carrie is paying for your vacation!!! :banana: :lmao:
:lmao::rotfl2:
Blue works for me. :)
I was hoping to hear back from you Becky! I was worried you went "poof" on us!

I LEAVE FOR WDW IN 1WEEK AND 12 HOURS! That is, if we can ever decide which car to take, fix the SUV if taking it, .... nothing like coming down to the wire!
Not that your counting or anything :rolleyes1 Which car has more room and is more comfortable on a long drive?
Lol what? They explained it better :lmao: Something like your mind plays scenerios in your head so that if you happen to encounter it, you will be prepared OR it's a way for you to make sure it doesn't happen.

Like you have a nightmare about not packing that special 'surprise' for the trip and it's all ruined. Well, come packing time, your brain will remember the dream (at least subconsciously) and VOILA! You don't forget the surprise :)



Hahaha just think what you can do in 2 hours!






So after reading the 'decorate your room' thread a week ago, I finally went to Home Depot and got the mickey head paint color samples :goodvibes
I made a garland using Never Land (blue/teal) and Bouncy Bouncy (tigger orange) colors. I wrote one letter on each head (with a blank one for a space) that says: Welcome Amanda!
She's our friend we're bringing (she's never been on a plane, let alone to WDW!).

I also got a lot of lime green ones, punched a hole in each ear and am bringing string to hang them in the window :) I'll assemble that when I get there though.
Ok, where is the decorate your room thread? I went and got a whole bunch of Mickey Head paint samples and put magnets behind them so they would stick to the door, but aside from that I'm at a loss. I still have a whole new Home Depot I can hit up in VA!

I wish that would work with her! She is the never ending question asker! She actually never stops talking, aside from being asleep ... she even told me the other day she learned to talk underwater LOL

She has no clue what the pirate stuff is for though ... so it will be a surprise still :)
My 6 year old is the same way! Talk, talk, talk, talk! She talks in her sleep!

At least you could somewhat keep a surprise going! I planned on not telling DD #2, but nope I couldn't resist! After all I needed to know what dress to buy her for breakfast in Norway!

I've decided that although DD #2 didn't behave enough to earn TPL, I'm going to take her to the Main Street Barber shop for some pixie dust...and DD #3 is going there as well. She can't even do TPL yet because she's not yet 3 and I don't want them to miss out on some of the fun.

Today is the official last day of school (in fact, it's a half day so they should be home shortly). and then I'm putting those kiddo's to work! They tore up my living room last night with all the stuff from their desks! I'm now getting the daily question of "How long until Disney!??" To which I reply that first we have to get DH from the airport :rotfl2:

I'm trying to come up with a title for my first TR but am at a loss there.

Meghan suggested "Pirates, Princesses and Pixie Dust" although I don't know if were going to get any pixie dust on this trip.

I was thinking "No Children Were Harmed in The Making of This Trip Report!" But Meghan shook her head and said it wasn't funny

I hope dreams mean nothing LOL I had a dream I was pregnant the other night! :scared1: Well considering my hubby has been gone since March, I highly doubt it haha ... but we DEFINITELY do not want any little souvenirs from our WDW trip!!!!!
 
So I just cleaned some of the house :) Progress!

I put all the kids' clothes away ...

I cleaned our master bathroom shower and my husband's vanity area ...

Started packing some of the toiletries we have doubles of ...

Now I need to go get my kids' lunch! Me too actually LOL
